jority have always voted the democratic
ticket. Being a Southerner by birth and
residence, I went with the South in the
war between the states, and then thought
I was in the right, but since the war ended
I have continually thanked God that the
attempt at secession was unsuccessful,
and that the slaves were freed as the re-
suit of the war. And more than all I
thank him that the stars and stripes now
float over our fully reunited country. My
sincere desire, therefore, is to do all that
lies within my power to uphold its consti-
tuition and laws.

nominated is not in accord with the doc
trines of the democratic party, and the
principles which he advocates I consider
to be most dangerous to our governmental
institutions and the welfare of our peo-
pie. shall, therefore, vote against him,
and, in order to do so effectively, shall vote
for Mckinley. A vote for Mr.. Palmer,
who cannot possibly be elected, would SIM
ply be thrown away. The perils of the
hour as I estimate them. appear to de-

MILLS OR MINES.
Comparison of the Output of the Fac
tory Workers and the Miners.
[San Francisco Argonaut.


The director of the mint estimates the
output of all gold and silver mines in the
United States for 1889 at s97, ,735, 730-say
$780, 600 900; of this amount $S8, 100000, $40,
was mined in Colorado, California, Mon
tana, Utah and Nevada-fve states; while
over s6S. 900 of it was mined in three
stateseCalifornia, Colorado and Montana.
Is it local and extremely sectional inter
est?
The combined population of the five states
in 1890 was 2,006, ,15S, or about 5000 less than
the single state of Michigan for the same
year: yet it is this small minority which
proposes to dictate the issue to their fell
low citizens; they were the representatives
of this minority who said to the last con-
gress: 'tYou shall not have protection; you
shall not have revenue for the govern
ment until you raise the market price Of
our product"
The eleventh census Q890) startles one
with the statement that the gross value of
the products of manufactures in the United
States in 1890 was more than So, 000, ,000, 900:
net value over cost of raw material $4, ,000.-
100000 Was it local? Every one knows
that the streams that flowed from 1t ir-
rigated every part Of our national life;
no township of New England. no imperial
county of the West that did not share in
It's beneficence. Shall we protect 1t, or shall
we let it wither while we sit Idle watch

ing the mineowner dig his silver?
More than 81, 900. 200. 900 were paid in wages

mines, but the laborers dug more than
81, 600 0O0, 900 out of our factories
California ranks as the greatest of gold
mining states. and one of the three high
est in production of both gold and silver;
as manufacturing state she ranks twelfth
in the Union. and yet her manufactured
product was over $213, ,000, 900 in 1890, more
than TWICE THE VALUE OF ALL THE
GOLD AND SILVER PRODUCED" BY
THE WHOLE IN ANY YEAR.
California mines the least silver of the
five states named. Why should she pre-
fer to open mints to free silver. rather than
open mills to free labor? Her factories
produced s200.0OO.0O0 more of wealth in 1890
than did all her mines; San Francisco alone
turned out $35 5000, 900 more from her fac
tories than the whole United States did
from her mines. Where, then, is her chief
interest?
Colorado although regarded as essential
ly mining state, produced $42, 500 600 of
her mines. With free trade this would
undoubtedly be reversed in Colorado, but
would that benefit the manufacturers. her
farmers and her workingmen?
The states in which the mining output eX-
ceeded the value of manufactures were
four-Idaho, Montana. Nevada and Utah
and the combined population of all of
them was 470,210, considerably less than
that of our two little sisters, Rhode Island
and Delaware. With protected industries,
the manufactures in these four states would
soon outstrip mining and the farmers and
herders would people their countless val
feys.
Let US waive the discussion of the ef-
facts of the free, unlimited and independ-
ent coinage of silver at 16 to 1, and for
orally advantageous. What would be the
situation?
The next administration will surely be
to free silver and the most radical free
sound currency and protection to manu-
obtain both protection and free coinage.
even if both are good. choice must bs
made. Which shall it be? With the elec-
ton of Bryan, protection would be dead
letter, and free coinage would place the
United States in the rank with In
dia, China and Mexico.
With the republican party in power, and
statesman at the helm, great indus
tries would receive a stimulus: national
credit would be secure: labor would have
opportunities which should always be open
to it, and new era of progress would set
in as a fit closing for. the nineteenth cen
tury.
Shall it be open p:ints with reputation,
stagnation and confusion. or open mills
with prosperity and honor?
