THE PROFITS OF GOLD
MINING.
Denver Mining Industry

4
Gold mining in Colorado at
the present time pays a higher
| percentage Of profit than any
other productive enterprise in
the world. The cost Of pro
ducing gold in one case IS not
to exceed ( cents for each dol
lar. In another a dollar costs
20 cents, and in scores 50 per
cent. or more Of TIE product is
ret profit. This has been
brought about by the demoni-
tization Of silver, which re-
duces the cost Of production,
by cheapcning prices generally
or increasing the purchasing
power Of gold. Mining, man
ufacturing and general COM
mercial enterprises are in
very aourishiag condition
when they pay 10 per cent on
the capital invested. From
the declared divilenes Of the
Incorporated gold mining com
panies we know that if they
were the only cnes which
made profits, over II per cent .
Of the total gold product is
profit, and Of the product Of
the incorporated companies
only, over 81 per cent IS net
profit Of course, there is no
way Of arriving at the profit
made by individuals and close
corporations, which do not d.
clare lhcir dividends TO the
public. But we all know that
these are, as q rule, equally as
profitable, or more profitable,
perhaps, than the public com
panies The proportion, too,
of thc public companies to the ;.
whole number 81 producers is
very insignificant. We have |
only twenty-one gold mining
companies which we know
Eaid dividends ID 1894 while /
there are about 200 mines
given which produced value.
II III mines made a profit
equal 10 over IA per cent. of
the total product Of gold in the
state, how much profit was
made by the remaining 40?

ever famous by the Comstock
lode, is again likely to become
a great ore producer. Out

which there is every reason to
expect that development will
open good mines, are now re
ceiving attention. These re-
gions always warranted deyel-
oPmcnt, bu: they did not re
ceive it, because they were so
greatly overshadowed by the
Ccmstock that they could NOT
enlist capital. The sentiment
OF the mining men there was
well Illustrated by the remark
made by John w. Mackay,

promising veins surrounding

stock is the best place ! know

A Sweeping Resolution.

The Advisory Board of the American
Protective Association. which was in
session at St Louis for several days this
week, adopted a resolution advising the
members Of the order TO vote for the nom
nation to office on party tickets of the
party they affiliate with. and to vote
only for the election Of candidates who
are in thorough accord with the follow
ing principles.
Reduction Of immigration TO debar
all undesirable persons. extension of time
for naturalization. Fan educational quail
fication for suffrage. the maintenance
OF one general non-sectarian public
school system. no public funds or pubic
property for sectarlan purposes, taxation
Of all property not owned and controlled
by the public, the opening 10 public Off
cial inspection Of all private Schools. con-
vents. monasterIes, hospitals. and all In
stitutions OF an educational and reforma-
tory character; no support given for any
public position TO any person who recog-
nizes primal allegiance in civil affair:
TO any foreign or ecclesiastical power
public lands for actual settlement by
American citizens only"
That Is TO say. as we understand II
the members OF the American Protective
Association may vote as Democrats OF
as Republicans. but they must vote fol
Democrats or Republicans who hold tn,
principles set forth in the above resolu
ton.

Tn. Matter of Good Roads.

mort of the Good Roads Committee adopt
ed al the convention lately held here.

The cities as rule do not take kindly
10 the suggestion that in addition to
constructing and maintaining their own
streets they should be assessed 10 help
improve the county roads, while the
bare thought Of increasing taxation in
The slightest degree sends a shudder OF
horror through the country districts.
This Is the situation as We find IT, We
regret TO say go. but IL is the fact. And
vet we do not believe that the conven-
tons work is all in vain. Oh no. IL
will bring the subject up for discussion.
IL will cause the Legislature to give more
thought TO this question than II has ever
done. 1t is seed planted. and which.
with careful cultivation may yield good
fruit
The trouble with too many OF our
people is that they want good roads
II these can be gotten without increa-
sing their taxes. As between standing
bad roads and standing an increase OF
taxation they are for the former. They
will have 10 put this idea aside II they
ever expect TO have general improve

MIKE. No Change.

The South Carolina constitutional TOM
vention struck out on wednesday the
section in the article OF the declaration
of rights which said that the right OF
citizens of the State to vote shall not De
denied or abridged on account OF race
color. or previous condition Of servitude.
II also struck out the section saying that
neither slavery nor involuntary servi-
tude. except as a punishment for crime
whereof the party shall have been duIy
convicted. shall exist in the State.
1t would have been useless TO put these
two articles into the State Constitution
one OF them is the thirteenth amendment
and the other is the fifteenth amendment
to the Federal Constitution. The thir-
teenth amendment is also. in terms. the
celebrated Wilmot proviso.

Within a comparatively few months the
price of cotton has almost doubled. The
advance has been steady. and has been
based upon the indubitable fact that this
years crop is very short one This
rise will be OF vast advantage TO the
South. Ii will benefit all lines Of business
here What is more. it will profit the
whole country: the government especially.

The Canvass In Virginia.


The enemies Of the Democratic party IN
Virginia are conducting red-hot cam
paign of defamation and misrepresenta-
ton.
on the one hand. they are defaming the
Walton law; on the 0ther, they are mis-
representing the "honest-elections' Oil.
The Walton law Is. Of course, not the
vile thing that they describe it TO be.
And the elections bill, drawn up by Gene
raj Malone and adopted at the Peters
burg conference, which was composed OF
representatives of all the enemies oil pe
mocracy. is by no means "non-partisan
measure So far from 1t. ii is an IN
genious device by which good Democrats
may be entrapped into putting ,lle cleo
lions machinery of this State into me
hands OF the Republican party. 1t is the
same sort of game that Malone played
when he organized the Readjuster party
In order 10 make IL the avenue by which
10 go into the Republican camp. He sue
ceeded In dipping some of his followers,
but not all. The great mass OF them
turned their backs upon his scheme as
soon as they saw what ii meant. They
meant to be Democrats, not Republicans.
We would have our Democratic friends
o. be thoroughly alert now. and not give
any encouragement or support 10 this
Honest Elections party, which is the
same old wolf in a new sheep-skin.
Nor must we suffer ourselves to be
caught mapping. Where apathy prevails
we must try To overcome it by organiza-
ton and discussion. Wherever a white
audience can be obtained. and capable
speakers are at hand TO represent us
we have nothing 20 fear from debate
on the issues Of this canvass. But no
speaker of ours can do his fun duty 10
his party until he has carefully read the
..honest-elections" bill, and is fully pre-
pared to expose its trickery. II was
never meant to be 'non-partlsan' blii'
Read 1t. friends. and tell the people what
its true character Is.
ONLY a little more than two weeks time
now remains before the day of election
and meanwhile we have great deal OF
work TO do The issues of the campaign
should be put before the people plainly
and i'm every county there should be
good organization TO bring out our full
voting strength.
Observe, too. that whilst the Repubh-
can-Populistic combination is engaged IN
denouncing the Walton law as law
which enables constable TO declare
elected anybody that he pleases, these
enemies of ours are making great claims
as to the counties they expect TO carry
They are thus either making most I'M
lust statement as TO the law. or are
paying. tribute to the honesty OF Inc
constable. or are deliberately misstating
their belief as to the probable results or
the election. The fact Is that they Will
hear watching all the time. Our speak
ers ought TO let none OF their misstate-
ments pass unchalenged. Hold them to
the record

OF course. as its number Indicates '"e

hardly ratified before II was seen 'ha' !"

TO correct this wrong as 1t was hel"
10 be by the northern people, or AT any
rate bv the Republicans and their coiof-

reads as follows:
