Is THIS NOT A FACT, MINERS 2

The slump that came to all branches OF
the mining industry in New Mexico when
a Democratic administration inaugurated
the practice of admitting silver-lead ores,
the product of peon labor, from Mexic o
free of duty, has had very efectual
quietus put upon it by the passage OF the
Mckinley tariff bill. In the coming cleo
ton contest miners OF New Mexico will
not forget this and they will vote the Re-
publican ticket-the synonym for pro-
lection to American labor. So on October
they will show themselves free men,
wearing the brass collar of no Democratic
boss, by voting for the state constitution,
for the admission of New Mexico to state
hood would directly benefit no class so
much as the mining fraternity. BY this
means they would forever get rid of the
vicious "alien act" passed by Demo-
cratic congress, and which prevents the
investment of dollar of foreign capital
in mines here, so long as this remains a
territory.

JUDGE AXTELL's ADDRESS TO THE


PEOPLE,
The address issued by the chairman
and secretary of the Republican central
committee and sent ont as supplement
with this issue Of the New MEXICAN is
filed with most interesting and timely
matter and answers fully and on every
point and in every direction the false
hoods, the ISLANDERS and wicked misrep-
reservations formulated by the Demo-
cratic executive committee against the
constitution, against statehood and against
the fair fame, good name and prosperity
of New Mexico.
The character OF the chairman and sec
rotary of the committee and the excellent
reputation these two gentlemen, namely
exGov. S. B. Axtell and Hon. l.. A.
Hughes, enjoy are sure guarantees that
the address contains not line that has
not been well considered, not statement
that is not borne out by the facts and not
an assertion that is untrue or unfair or
unjust or improper. In these points this
address differs i'll every particular from
those issued against statehood by the
Democratic executive committee and the
enemies Of the constitution, of statehood
and, in fact, of the people. The addresses
and Nominations from the latter sources
were conceived in iniquity, born in
falsehood, nurtured in dishonesty and
published to satisfy venomous, bitter,
unjust and extremely selfish and partisan
spirit.
Let the voters OF New Mexico read,
heed and act according to their best I'M
Outstanding. If they are opposed to prog.
ress, advancement and prosperity, to an
influx of population and capital and do
not want to see New Mexico become a
great, honored and powerful common
wealth in the councils of the nation and
in the galaxy of states composing this
union, let them vote against the consti-
tuition; however, if they are DESTROYS OF
lettering their material, moral, political
and financial condition and to see New
Mexico occupy the place she is justly en-
titled to in the national councils and
among the great states composing this,
the best government the sun ever shone
upon, then let them work with a will, a
vigor, vim and all possible strength for
the adoption of the constitution on the
eth of October next.
A victory gained on that day in an
honorable and honest manner will fully
vindicate the people of New Mexico from
the ISLANDERS and aspersions heaped upon
them by gang of corrupt politicians,
(even as late as during the present cam
paign, by the Democratic executive and
central committee and its speakers, and
will be the omen and forerunner OF the
prosperity and advancement OF New
Mexico, for which her citizens have
labored and waited for many long and
weary year.

REPUBLICANS AND THE ARID LANDS.

During it's closing hours Republican
congress has not forgotten the interests of
the western people. 1t has very wisely
been decided to continue the investigation
into the arid lands subject, and to this
end the special senate committee on irri-
cation has been authorized to continue its
session during the recess. This committee
accomplished a great deal of good last
year; true, it did not make as much pro-
gress as some expected of it, and, so far
as has ever been learned out here, it has
never actually formulated report or pub
lished the great mass Of testimony secured
from practical westerners as to the best
methods for the national government to
pursue in rendering some sort Of aid to-
ward irrigation enterprises for the re-
clamation of the arid lands. But indirectly

SHOULD THE CONSTITUTION BE DEFEAT

. ED, STATEHOOD WILL FOLLOW SUIT
The dirty and mean fight made by the
Democratic executive committee against
statehood and prosperity for New Mexico
is drawing to a close. There are good
many honest Democrats who have no
collar around their necks and who will
vote for .ne constitution, for statehood
ard for the best interests OF the people.
The Democratic executive committee and
gang IN league with it have endeavored
to make this partisan fight. The Re-
publicans, however, have not walked in
to the trap; they have made it special
and distinct issue, that affects every citi-
zen alike, no matter what his politics !;
if the constitution is defeated, the people
may rest assured that New Mexico will
remain territory for many days to come.
If the coming election proves that the
lies, falsehoods and ISLANDERS, lawess and
dishonest actions and conduct INDUCED
in by the self-assumed bosses of the Dem
cratic party, and by the reactionary and
moss-back element OF New Mexico in the
anti-statehood campaign, win, why, then,
surely and without doubt, New Mexico is
not fitted for statehood and not ready for
it and ought not to have it, and will not
get it for long time. That is the situa-
ton and the people had best consider it
we'll and act accordingly.
Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1890-10-02

it has done one good that the people must
ever praise 1t for, having given the willy
Powell quietus, at least for the time
being, that will open the eyes of the
nation to the impracticability OF Powell's
methods on the one hand and on the
other to the importance of congress doing
something for retaining these millions
OF western acres.
At the winter session it is scarce
ly to he hoped that its final report
and recommendations will be handed in,
and probably it is best that there should
not be any hurry in the premises but
it will all come in good time, and when
it does 1t will come right. 1t will come
as practical western Republicans who
have fought for our interests so earnestly
in the session just closed want it to come,
and that will suit the people.
Another good thing this congress has
done is to provide for continuing the ar
tesian well investigations in the west,
the sum OF 900 being provided for that
purpose. The subject of irrigation and
the part the national government shall
take in aiding it, is a momenous one, and
it will require much time and thought to
solve all the intricate problems that sur
round it, hence, as before stated, it will
not do to be in too great a hurry, but the
Republicans have taken up the subject
in earnest, and in spite of the opposition
of such men as Reagan and Morgan and
other Democrats, they will carry it
through to successful issue before the
sd congress shall have closed.

THE free traders are very good at theo-
ries, but facts are against them. The
wealth of the United States is estimated
at $7l 100000, 900, an increase in ten
years of AZ per cent. In 1885 the wealth
of Great Britain was placed at SOL ,000,-
900, divided however among smaller
population than that Of the United States.
The wealth of France is put at $36000,-
900. Taxes in free trade England aver
age $40 per capita and in the United
States SIP 80 per head.

If the INSCRIPTIONS, mean and dishon-
est fight, now waged by the Democratic
executive committee, the hangers-on
of that outfit, and the reactionary ele-
ment in New Mexico, against the consti-
tuition, against statehood and the best in
terests of this territory, should be sue
cessful, it will be mighty sorry day for
New Mexico and her advancement in
every direction will be retarded for an
indefinite period.

Do NOT forget that the laws passed by
Republican legislature and faithfully and
honestly executed by Republican adj
ministration, are saving the people and
tax payers of New Mexico $4,000 per
year. Good showing that, and one of
which the Republican party need not be
ashamed

measure. To form these lines matrix
is necessary for each letter or character,
these matrices being assembled in the prop
er order by operating q series of finger keys
like those of the type writer
In the improved machine the matrices,
instead of being held, as formerly, in verti-
cal tubes just above the KEY board, one
tube for each different letter or character,
are contained in the channels of a magazine
plates set at little distance above the key
board and inclined toward it at an angle of
about forty-five degrees.
The matrices are fiat pieces of brass, on
the edge of which is the female die for
forming its proper letter. and for each touch
on one of the keys a single matrix drops
from its inclined magazine down vertical
or nearly vertical chute to the point of as
sembling. The arrangement is such that
no air blast is needed, as in the former ma
chine, to bring the matrix quickly to It's
proper place in the formation of the line.
To increase the speed of the matrices that
are not in direct line vertically with the
place of assembling, the vertical chutes
at one side are made of gradu-
ally diminished lengths, the bottoms
of the chutes of the chute section
thus forming sharp incline, just below
which, and at corresponding inclination,
Is fast-running belt. In this way the
matrices the farthest of come into position
as quickly as those which are nearest, and
there is no danger of transpositon of the
letters when the machine is worked at its
highest speed. There is also a great ad
vantage in the arrangement of the maya
zine with the grooved plates, instead of
separate tubes, as heretofore, for, by max
ing proportionate flanges on the sides of
the matrices. one set of magazine plates

n Story of Repeated Desertions.
The Herald's Helena dispatch telling of
the claim made by Michigan parties to the

Montana capitalist, contained the following
from Saginaw attorney
l write as the attorney of Mrs. A. j. Davis,
wife OF A. j. Davis, deceased, whose will was
offered for probate short time ago. Mrs. A. j.

For years she kepta public place here Her
