The Platform and the Wilson Bill.

Under the above caption the Wash
ington Post dissects the Wilson bill
and presents it to its readers in all Of
its horrid deformity. Among other
things it proves that the sugar-grow-
ing industry of Louisiana, upon which
half million OF human beings depend,
will be utterly destroyed; that s25,-
600, 600 are annually spent in Louis
lana, for trade with the northern
States; that at least $50, 900 persons
will be reduced to penury; that the
sugar industry in Nebraska, Califor-
mia, and other States will share like
fate. Yet this is but one of dozens Of
industries that are to be crushed
We quote the closing paragraph:
There is no possibility OF obscuring
the dreadful significance of this issue.
No amount of eloquence and argu-
ment will remove single one of these
facts from the equation. 1t cannot
even be said in extenuation OF the Will
son bill that it is a redemption of a
solemn promise by the Democratic
party to the American people, for no.
where in any of that party's utter
ances do we find pledge to destroy
domestic industries. The Wilson bill
does not, in the case Of sugar, con-
tent itself with immunity to the raw
material 1t deals a fatal blow to one
of our greatest and most important
commercial activities by admitting
also the refined and manufactured
product. What the party promised was
tariff for purposes of revenue only.
What it has given us in the Wilson
bill is tariff that ignores the most
obvious, the most productive, and the
most economical sources of revenue,
and that elevates the workingman by
taking away his livelihood. The tar
if clause in the Democratic platform
of I8o2-the platform upon the faith
of which the people have intrusted the
party with their destines-closes with
these words: 1--WE denounce a policy
which fosters no industry so much as
it does that of the sheriff. So does
every intelligent and patriotic citi-
zen, and so will the whole country
denounce the policy embodied in the
/ Wilson bill should that sinister and
abhorrent measure eventually become
a law. Not even the gloomiest pessi-
mist has vet so much as dreamed of
the evil work the sheriff will have to
do in many of our fairest districts
when the logic of the Wilson bill shall
have completed its awful evolution

caused by the effort to destroy the in

begged aud pleaded for the defeat Of
The Wilson bill-the sole and only
cause of the terrible business depres-
while the World has been ap-
plauding the work of the communists

that under Republican rule the law
was enforced, and if not now enforced
it is because Of the stupidity of those
whose duty it is to enforce it. We arc

bonds will be forwarded to their pur-
chasers this week and if the payments
are all made in gold $4,000, 900 will

The hardest fight that will be made
upon any one section of the tariff bill
will be that against the income tax.
According to the latest poll Al Sena-
tors-two less than majority-are
against it, 81 for it and 6 in doubt.
OF the six in doubt three are Repub-
licans and three Democrats. Mr..
Cleveland who was for a long time
opposed to this tax has now assumed
a noncointnittal position towards it.

We scarcely expected to see such an
expression of opinion in our usually
fair contemporary. If reference is
made to the trouble at the Stevens
mine i'll this State, the conflict was
not between the miners and operators,
but among miners themselves. The
operators at the Stevens mine told
their men they could not pay more
than a certain price and that the men
could work or MOTTO do as they
thought best. Rather than starve
they went to work. By 50 doing they
enraged the men at the Montgomery

 Abundance.
Fine Opportunity to Build Stamp Mills and Realize Handsome

 SANTA MARIA, Yavapi County, Nov. I9-Eureka mining district, on the Santa
 Maria river, in the southwestern
 corner of Yavapi county, this territory, | bids fair to become one of the best gold
 producing camps ever opened in Ariz-
 ona. The ore is strictly free milling and in large veins, carrying from two to eight feet of quartz that runs from ten dclla-s to several hundred dollars per
 ton m gold. The gold thus far extrac-
 ted by the arasta process is 900 to 971 fine. which shows conclusively that there IS no base metal in the ore.
 The best developed mines are the Santa Maria, Waters and Purple Rose groups. The former is owned Sy Thcs. c. Bowe, who has several hundred feet of development on the Santa Maria mines. It shows continuous pay chute some 1900 feet in length and from two to six feet in width. The entire body of ore thus far exposed shows aR average of twelve dollars per ton ID free milling quartz
 The Waters mine, owned by Aben- dorf & O., of New York, shows large body of free milling ore. It is re- ported that ten stamp mill will soon be built and put in operation os this property
 James L.. Howell is the lucky owner of the ''Purple Rose" group, consisting of five claims. The ore is an amethyst colored quartz, esembling the ore of the famous Independence mine, in Cripple Creek, Colorado. The veins show up from three to eight feet wide. and run from ten to thirty dollars per ton.
 Mezsrs Scott, Kalbaugh & Go. have several locations in the immediate neighborhood of the Purple Rose group. The most promising among them is the Satellite. A depth of SIX feet it shows a vein of quartz four feet in width which discloses plenty of free gold. Assays prove IL to be worth from S40 to $500 in gold per ton. The owners are now taking out ore and sacking it, expecting to have a car load ready to ship soon.
 There are many other properties here | that look equally as well as the ones spoken of. but are owned by men who, like the drawbacks of all camps. are | waiting under the shade trees for a | ''pOOm."
 A mining camp with one half as good a showing in Colorado would have | a genuine bloom" and there IS no req son why there should not be the same | result here in Arizona. What we want | Is men with some capital and enterprise | to help bring the camp to the front.
 The Santa Maria river runs through | the center of the district. It carries | enough water to run stamp mills by | such power for at least nine months in | the year, and there IS always plenty of | water to run mills by steam. There is plenty of wood near by to last for years to come.
 This district Is certainly one of the | best points in this territory for a cus- tom stamp mill. The miners could and | would agree to furnish plenty of ore to keep twenty or twenty-five stamp mill running constantly from the start. Had We home market for our output, there would soon be ore enough mined to run } hundred stamps. MessBACK.
