Montann,s silver Mines.

HELENA, Mon, July 12.-Last week did
not witness the closing down of any Mon
tana silver mines of any Importance, nor
were there reports that any are to be
closed soon. 1t costs great deal to close
down the big properties and then resume
after a short period, and the companies
are keeping their mines going under the
belief that the present conditions are tenn
porary only and that in few days silver
will be again worth 81 cents or more.
1t is hard to tell exactly what IL costs to
produce silver bullion, AZ the condition
and expense vary widely in the different
mines, but IL is safe to say that under the
present scale of wages every silver mine
running in this state today is losing money

outcome OF the extra session, he said: 1T

stances, however, the tariff question will
be considered. AS soon as the committee
on ways and means is announced the tariff
will be taken up by them, and even should
there be recess before the regular session
in December. the committee will continue
60 have sessions for the consideration OF
the new tariff law which the committee
will report to the house." &e

means was mentioned. and he was asked
II he would accept the position Mil

with smile: II have never known of any

He further said there would be no oppo-
sition to the election of Mr.. Crisp as

Nevada Silver Men.

WINNEMUccA, New, July 1.-THE chair
man of the state central committee OF the
silver party of Nevada has issued the fol-
lowing:
"1he goldbugs. with Grover Cleveland
at their head, are making a most deter
mined effort to have the Sherman law re-
pealed at the extra session OF congress and
the gold standard permanently fixed upon
this country. Intimidation, bribery and
executive threats are their weapons. The
friends of silver in nearly all Of our sister
states are energetically organizing for the
conflict. Shall Nevada lag behindf She
was foremost of all the states in her loyal
ty to the silver cause in the late presiden-
tial campaign. Let every silver club In
the state and every election precinct meet
in convention and pass resolutions in ear
nest protest.
To secure unanim nifty of action we advise
that such meetings be held Saturday, the
18th inst. 1t Is of the highest Importance
that Nevada shall be represented at the
meeting of the American Bimetallic league
to be convened at Chicago the lat day OF
August. and we suggest that the silver
leagues of each county so far as possible
name q delegate to that meeting.

THE SILVER SITUATION.
Senator Palmer Thinks the Sherman
Law Will Be Repealed.

ute Nevada silver Men Issue Proc
lamation.

CHICAGO, July 12.--'I favored the repeal
Of the Sherman act at the last session OF
congress-" said Senator Palmer last night
strong enough in the senate to pass the rc-
peal. i think now, however, the act can
be repealed, although the silver men will
make a strong fight against it. assume
that at least eight states in the west, with
q representation Of 16 In the senate, will be
opposed to the repeal of the bill.
/. The silver men of the south will prob
the consideration that the tax on state
bank circulation be recalled Such re-
peal would be, in my opinion, calamity
little short of free coinage. Not that the
tax is right, for it isn't. / believe it is an
abuse by the government Of its taxing
powers II is considerably like the pro-
posed option tax. i believe that the state
bank circulation is wrong, and the govern
ment-the great banker-should suppress
1t directly, not by taxing it. My idea of .
remedy for the present condition is the re-
peal of the Sherman act, the redemption OF
outstanding circulation and the issue of
notes payable in coin at the option Of the
holder.
''This talk that the president is using his
power Of appointments to help him In the
effort to repeal the Sherman act will be
readily taken up by the silver men, who
are anxious for just such timber. know
that IL ! were president would appoint
men to office who agree with me on all
great questions. IL Mr.. Cleveland has as

stock and bonds of the old St. Paul
and Pacific.
But some hypercritical friend of
Jim Hill may claim that our esti-
mate of cost may be too low and we
will give few more figures: The
cost of the Central Pacific 30 years
ago for the first Is miles was but
$22, 222.46 mile, and twenty years
later E. H. Miller, Jr., Secretary of
the company, swore that with all the
increased traffic, betterments, etc.,
the 1,4OO miles of road was worth but
about $1O,535 per mile, and A. n.
Towne, Gent Manager of the same
road places the value at $11,6OO per
mile.
By looking at page 469, appendix of
Vol. Is, part of Cong. Record, it
appears that the cost of the famous
n. Y. Central with it's cuts, tunnels
and bridges reduced to single track
was but $25, 500 per mile.
And all these were built many
years ago when the cost of material
and construction was much higher.
Yet in view of all this, Jim Hill and
his cohorts may desire to make us be-
lieve the road cost over 1000 per
mile and is good security for $37 900
mile. Bah! Go tell that to the
marines.
The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1893-06-21

From the foregoing table it will be
noticed that the alleged cost of
these roads averages $32,4OO per
mile also that the stock and debt
averages over $37, 200 per mile and
upon this sum the company must
earn interest to pay anything to such
of the outsiders as may become in
duced to buy any part of the same.
Bear in mind that there is some
twenty odd million dollars of stock
not included in the above because
unissued at the time-but author
lied by the charter.
Let us see what the road is worth
and it's probable cost by comparison
with others.
At page s of the report of the
Secretary Of the Interior for '6S and
$50 appears statement of the legiti-
mate cost of the Union Pacific, at
the time of high prices of labor, iron
and freight of thirty years ago-and
placing the same at 1874, 977.3 2 per
mile or less than the stock and debt
per mile of the Great Northern sys-
tenn.
But coming down to a later date
and to roads running over a rough
country and we have the cost of

CONTRACTION.
A Clear Exposition of How it Eff
fects the Farmer.

BY HON. p. GILDEA.
The scarcity of money and usury
are my opinion the two agencies
that take the lead of all others in
keeping the farmer poor, and the
worst of it is that SO per cent of the
farmers cannot see what difference
it will make to them whether money
is scarce or plenty they are muddled
by the cry: ''Never would a dollar
buy as much as it will to-day" And
as Cleveland said, 1--WE want to put
an honest dollar in the hands of toll. !"
Trying to make people believe that
they were very much interested in
the poor toiler. But they say nothing
about aohot the POOR toiler has to pay
for that honest dollar.
Brother farmers the following are
some of the classes that are getting
the benefit of the scarcity of money:
All the milliOnaires, all the bankers
money loaners Of all classes, every
HAL VIII Has d SUdUeO income, ana
all our government officials.
Take the President as an illustra-
tion, he gets $4,000 At the present
time it is as good as 100000 would
have been 10 years ago. He can buy
twice as much wheat, twice as much
beef and twice as much of nearly
everything we produce. That means,
my friends, that you have to give
twice as much of the products of
your labor for that honest dollar as
you did ten years ago, and of course
those that have the "honest" dollar
to sell, are we'll pleased and conse-
quently the country is prosperous.

IMMIGRATION.
immigration plays prominent
part in the degradation of the miner.
Hordes of ignorant foreigners are inn
ported to the coal fields by corpora
tions and menace the American
wage-slave. Competition for slavery
in the coal fields is quite extensive.
An ignorant foreigner stands ready
to pick upthe shovel and perform the
work of the American miner when
the latter becomes dissatisfied. Every
morning you can see scores of those
uneducated men at every colliery.
The moment the boss makes his ap-
pearance they approach, and the only
words of our language that they can
utter are: "Mr. Boss, give me job. "
If there is anything boss likes it is
to have man ask him for job
Those vain fellows who boast of their
superiority delight in looking at men
on their knees asking for work. The
bosses try to crush the American
spirit out of men and starvation is
their weapon. BY having few jobs to
give and plenty of men after them
they hold the winning hand. Bosses
have little mercy and no humanity
left in them. The greatest tyrants
of the miners are those who rose from
the calling themselves. 1 have never
seen any statistics on immigration in
the coal fields. I know that thou
sands of ignorant men are mining
and cause great many of the acct
dents. 1t would be folly on my part
to give you any estimate on this
question.
Mr.. J. A. Lemons letter will be
continued through several numbers
of the REPRESENTATIVE. 1t is the
most valuable contribution that has
been made to the literature of the
coal investigation, and should be pre-
Served.-THE EDITOR
