AHEAD OF ALL OTHER NATIONS.
Mineral Production of the United States
in 1892 and 1898 and the Value
of tho Sarnn


The immensely and variety of the
mineral production of the United
States are shown by a compilation
published by the Engineering and
Mining Journal, giving the output
OF the chief mineral products and the
value of the same in 1892 and 1898.
The table will show that in the
year 1898 the mineral and metal pro.
duction of this country, as compared
with 1892, has not declined in guam
tity as much as might have been ex-
pected from the financial depression,
but it does show material decline
in values, amounting to over $79,-
100000. 1t is a note worthy fact
that the mineral production alone,
while almost one-third greater in
value than the metal product, de-
creased only one half as much. OF
the total decrease, over $4,000, 900
was in the decreased production and
shrinkage of values in pig iron; So
100000 was in coke aud $4,000, 900
in bituminous coal, both of which
were largely due to the decline in
pig iron production. In silver the
decrease in value amounted to &c.
100000. In but few cases was there
any increase. Anthracite coal gained
50, 100000 in value, thus partly off
setting the decline in bituminous,
and gold increased 100000. The
figures clearly show the solid foun-
dalton upon which the countrv's
prosperity is based, and its stability.
The growth of the mineral indus
try of the United States has been so
rapid as to be wholly beyond com
parison with any other nation. Fifty
years ago this country began to take
rank as one of the important produc-
ers. In twenty years it had won a
position among the leading nations,
and now it not only excels all others,
but the value of it's products is al
most as great as the value of the
combined output of Great Britain,
France and Germany.
Such growth is phenomenal. In
1864 the United States, with an out
put of 22,S60,000 metric, tons stood
third among the coal producing ma
tions, Great Britain leading with over
100000 tons, Germany 26,0OO,O 600.
In the thirty years since that time
Great Britain has little more than
doubled its output. Germany has
trebled, but the United States has
increased eight times and produces
now almost as much as Germany and
all the rest of the world taken to-
gether, excepting only Great Britain.
In the production of pig iron our
growth has been even more remark
able.
In 1865 the pig producing coun-
tries ranked with Great Britain first,
then France, Germany and the Unit
ed States; Great Britain alone pro-
ducing almost six times as much as
the United States. But in 1892 the
United States output was more than
eleven times as much as thirty years
before, and almost half again as
much as Great Britain; as much as
Germany, France, Belgium and Aus
Hungary all together; or, as
Great Britain, Frarce and Austria
Hungary; in the second half of 1898
our iron production suddenly drop
ped enormously. These two staples,
iron and coal, serve to show the quick
rise to supremacy as a producing
country.

A community seldom reads any
thing containing more solid truth
than the following from the Trade
Magazine of Philadelphia:
There is no printed thing which
is so close to the heart of the com
munity as the local paper. The pulse
of local life beats in it's every issue
An epitome of the worlds news
CLOVIS in its bright pages, and the
business news of the local stores
should be in it, too; should be there,
not "to help the paper along;' not
for any reason except the one great,
shrewd, business reason-that it will
pay.
If merchant will take care of
his space, change his copy, keep it
fresh and put interesting matter in
it, it will be read as assiduously and
as regularly as the spiciest bit of Cos
sip. As it gets readers so will the
dealers get customers.
Aggressiveness and confidence are
essential in advertising. Timid men
do not succeed. It's the fellow who
goes straight ahead, full of self-con-
tidence, forceful, bound to make his
point; that's the man whose business
thrives and fourishes.
Let his advertisements breathe of
honesty and truth. Let every state
ment be exactly fact--no more, no
less--but rather let him understate
the goodness Of his wares than over
state them. Above all, put news in
the lads
Advertising is business seed, and
one Of the most fertile fields to plant
it in is the local paper. Put it there,
water it keep down the weeds, and
1t will bring forth fruit every time.

BANK TAX REPEAL.
Representatives Cox audJ ohnson Argue
for and Against.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 31.-Rep-
resentative Cox opened the discus
sion in the House this morning on
behalf of the repeal of the state bank
tax. He said:
"The idea that the national banks
could and would furnish a sufflcien-
cy of paper currency has been found
almost total failure. There is no
money to be made in taking out the
circulation. Some of our very larg-
est national banks deposit the requi-
site amount of bonds and content
themselves with the interest on bonds,
because there is nothing to be made
with the circulation. There is left
to the people but one way to increase
either the currency or money, and
that is with gold. The present sys-
tenn has resulted in the concentration
OF the money and currency in certain
localities, and lett other great sec
lions utterly destitute of money or
currency until the business becomes
almost dead, and discomfort and I'M
easiness prevail.
"There is not state that has a
debt that does not maintain it with
absolute fidelity. Why not permit
these states that owe debts to draw
obligations within their own borders,
and instead of suffering continual
drainage on their currency in paying
interest, pay their interest to their
own citizens and develop at the same
time a medium of exchange that can
advance the prosperity of their peo-
ple2 We have stopped every channel
for the increase of our currency ex
cept the little gold we may get. We
have doubled our Indebtedness upon
the pretext of having solid stable
dollar. You see the results. Turn
enterprise, pluck and energy loose,
and let them select their own tools
and the day for tramps will be at an
end. Let the states take care of
their own people"
Concerning the danger of bad cir
culation, he said: The notes of an
insecure institution would never pass
over its own counter. They must be
regarded as good stable national
bank o treasury notes. They will
have to circulate side by side with
them, and the moment they are treat
ed as of less value they can never
leave the vaults of the bank, or if by
chance they have gone into circula-
ton and they go below the national
currency Immediately they will be
returned for redemption"

An exchange enumerates the fol
lowing nine classes of persons who
can certainly depress business in
any community: "They are those
who go out of town to make purchas-
es; who prefer a quiet town to one of
push and business; who imagine
they own the town and are bound to
run it; who think business can be
done without advertising; who have
no public spirit themselves and
dread those who have;who are chron
ic kickers against every movement
they do not originate; who oppose
public enterprises which do not d.
rectly benefit them, and who seek
to run down and injure their fellow
townsmen.
