ABSOLUTELY Pure
SPLENDID COAL,
The c. c. Davis Mine Promises to be
One OF the Best In the State.

In company with w. S. Hatha,
way the editor of this paper to-day
visited Charley Davis coal mine
just southeast of Mexico. One shaft
is icing worked regular and from
two to three hundred bushels of local
daily are taken out. In the mean.
time another shaft some hundred
yards distant is being sunk, which
is about completed and then bust
ness will begin in earnest. Mr..
Davis expects within the mex six
months to be able to supply the de-
mand for coal in Mexico. Between
80 and 40 thousand tons of coal are
used here every year and between
sixty and one hundred thousand
dollars sent away for coal. MIR. Davis
expects to keep this money all at
home. His vein is only about so
or 60 feet deep and is feet and 6
inches thick. He is spending a good
deal Of time and money in develop
ing his mine and the returns at this
time are small but he is not dis
couraged. Every indication is now
that there is an extensive coal field
on his property, which, when his
new shaft is completed, can be rapid
ly developed. He sells his coal,
which is as good as any, at Z cents
at the bank or 8 cents delivered,
Arrangements are being made so
that side track will be put in and
business be done on large scale
just as soon as his new shaft is done
and in operation,
Mexico weekly ledger., 1893-08-31

The prospect now is good for
Mexico having plenty of coal right
here at home. Davis coal mine is
furnishing from two to three hum
dred bushels a day now and the
prospect is that when a new shaft
is sunk that Mexico will be nearly,
if not quite, supplied with coal from
this mine. Ii not this year, arrange
ments will be completed so that
Mexico can be more than supplied
with coal next year. Mexico uses
about 40, 900 tons Of coal q year.

Hostile to Action.
From the st. Louis Republic.

From the st. Louis Republic.
Bimetallism as a remedial idea
and the Democratic party as a po
litical organization have an enemy
to confront which is quite as much
to be feared as the monometallists.
The enemy is the old professional
agitator in new guise. Although
the acute discussion precipitated by
the sudden fall in silver values after
the India Council order the obstruct
i've tactics of this element have been
discernible.
Its purpose is not hard to pene-
trate. To foment a new discomfort,
and with discomfort to form third
political party whose leaders will be
themselves, is the handspring OF
every movement.
The first step is to prevent a set
tlement in the present session of
Congress. The agitators have entire
control of the Populists. The set
demand of Populist Congressman
for coinage of 16 to / is part of the
plan. They know that free coinage
at 16 to / is impossible; that a bill
of that sort cannot be passed, and
that if it could the President would
interpose veto.
| OF course, the mining states are
easy to persuade. Already the peo
pie of those states are organized in,
to silver party with "16 to 1" as
their motto.
The fear of the agitators' attacks
is held before every western Demo.
crat in Congress, and some have
surrendered. There are Democrats
calling themselves bimetallists ant
tariff reformers who have lent them
selves to this third party conspiracy
not because they are deceived as f
its purpose, but because they are to-
weak to defy an agitator's SANDER
| Instead of laboring for the bes
settlement obtainable, this obstruct
i've influence is putting out every ei
fort to kill bimetalllsm and to in
crease discomfort by increasing di:
aster.
Especially should Western an
Southern Democrats be on the
guard. Silver coinage and tariff r,
, form have less to fear from the d,
, feated Republicans than from th
, insidious obstruction.
Let every Democrat keep steadil
before him the interests of the PEI
] pie and study how, out OF the situi
/ ton, a practical and effectual settl
' ment can be reached at the earlie
moment.

Swept BY A Big Fire.
SOUTH CHICAGO ALMOST WIPED
OUT BY PLANES.
Seven Thousand People Made Home.
less - Two Hundred and Fifty
Houses Burned and Loss
S1,0OO,OO0

CHICAGO, Aug. 24.-Seven thous-
and people made homeless, $50
houses in ashes and a million dol
lars worth Of property destroyed.
That is the record of a fire that swept
through South Chicago for several
hours to night.
South Chicago is 13 miles distant
from the City Hall and has a popu-
lation of $4,000. Nearly all the resi-.
dents, and chiefly those who suffer-
ed by to-night's fire, are mill and
factory employees, many of them
working for the Illinois Steel Com
pany. On them the loss falls with
frightful significance, for in many
instances the men were living in en-
forced idleness, caused by the shut
downs.
1t is said that several, at least
two, lives were lost, while many
persons were seriously injured.

Not q Candidate.


We notice frequent mention OF R.
M. White, editor of the Mexico
LEDGER, as candidate for Railroad
Commissioner. If Mr.. White should
become a candidate for Railroad
Commissioner he would certainly
have very strong following. And
he ought to have. He has labored
necessarily for the Democratic party
for these many years. Besides be
has aided hundreds of men to gel
office and these hundreds would nc
doubt be only too glad of an oppor'
tunity TO please and honor him. In
addition to these details, he il
thoroughly qualified for such po'
sition, and in that position would
labor in season and out of season
for the welfare Of the people with al
much perseverance as he has with
! his LEDGER for the people of Mexict
and Audrain county.

HORACE BoIEs has been nominat-
ed for Governor of Ohio and the
Democrats of that state adopted
the financial plank of the Chicago
platform. This is identical with
the minority report made at the
silver meeting in Mexico a few
days since. Three states have NOM
mated officers-Ohio. Virginia and
Iowa. This plank has been adobt-
ed by all three, but received only
three votes at the silver meeting in
Mexico.

C. C. DAVIS has great faith in
Mexico and Audrain county and
has abiding faith in what is under
as well as what is on top of the
earth. He is spending his good
hard money in developing a coal
mine, which if it succeeds will
save thousands of dollars to con-
sumers in this city. Charley de-
serves success and we believe will
attain it.

In this issue of the LEDGER will be
found an editorial from the St. Louis
Republic calling attention to the fact
that an effort is being made to Gre
ate discord in the Democratic party

Enough to Make Him Sick

From the st. Louis Republic.
Champ Clark says that the talk
of the Democratic party going to
wreck and ruin makes him sick.
Well it may. The healthy politi-
cal stomach of an ingrained Mis-
souri, Democrat gets nausea when
lopsided politicians can not see
debate without having fit.
A question is never as we'll set.
tied as when it is fought to finish,
with a full use of all opinions and
all the strength of conflicting inter.
ests. That is what the Democratic
party is on earth for. If everybody
were right and knew it all, there
would be no parties and very few
sessions of Congress.
This nation is not going to the
dogs, the Democratic party is mo-
broken up, the people are not sub
dued and the eyes of Providence art
still upon US. When our grand
fathers in this Western country liv
ed on hominy and venison they die
not make half as much fuss as some
of our politicians who eat seven
course hotel dinners make over {
change of limetallic ratio.
The only thing that will make {
; Missouri Democrat sicker will be tht
discover that while certain weak
headed Western politicians are talk
ing OF wreck and ruin the gold bug
are getting in the solid work.
Mourn less and work more. We
hope Champ Clark will tell that tt

A DEMOCRATIC PICNIC.
The Picnic Near Rush Hill a Great
Success-Resolutions Passed.

ihefe was big crowd at the
picnic near Rush Hill Thursday.
The crowd was composed mostly
OF Democrats, with a good sprink-
ling of Populists and Republicans,
but it was solid for free silver.
Hon. ]. NJ. Barker addressed the
assemblage and at the conclusion of
his speech offered the resolutions
printed below, which were adopted
without a dissenting voice and
ordered published in the county
papers:
RESOLUTIONS.
The tariff question is of the time.
But the finance question is of the
ages.
Our unjust tariff brings injury to
many.
But the demonetizing Of silver
brings untold misery to the millions,
and unnumbered millions of wealth
to the robber whose only politics and
text is ''give me your purse"
We disapprove of the fraudulent
Sherman law of 1890, but it is bet
ter than nothing.
Bad as it Is, it is better, far bet
ter, than the manner of its admins
tration. A fair execution of that
law would place in circulation, as
the best of money, all the millions
OF silver bullion now lying dead in
the treasury. A fair illustration of
its pernicious administration may
be found in the treasurer paying
$1.204 per ounce for silver when
silver is only worth $1.16 1888 on
par with the gold dollar, and ac-
companied by criminal refusal to
coin it and pay it out for circulation.
We urge that our representatives
in Congress shall do all in their
power to procure the passage of
bill for the free coinage of silver at
ratio of 15]s or 16 to 1, and make
it legal tender and prefer defeat to
bill changing that ratio to 20 to 1.
We believe that the effort to place
the ratio at 20 to is a surrender to
our enemies before the battle is
made, and will end in humiliation
to every honest man who advocates
. it in Congress and end in the de-
struction of the silver if that ratio is
maintained. A compromise on that
question, in that manner, as we be-
lleve, will give the usurer of England
and America all that he could ask
for, and will end in the death of all
western prosperity, making the
national debt perpetual, an ever in
creasIng milestone hanging to the
neck of this Republic.
We tender our gratitude to you,
noble Bland, Bryan and Clark of
Missouri and Nebraska, and to all
other members of Congress who are
brave and true enough to advocate
the 16 to l ratio and accept nothing
greater, and never do you forget for
a moment that the teeming millions
OF the southwest are standing like q
wall in your support, and that no
matter what your efforts may be in
the present Congress, that before
four years have rolled away the ene-
mics of the people will be covered in
the dust of defeat, and upon your
ears will break the glad sound of
victory. A nation redeemed from
the clutch of the Moloch of greed
will honor your names.
/ MIR. Wright, of the Populist party,
made a speech.
