holders by doing anything to raise the
price of silver This, we know, is look

point, but then, one does not expect
much sentiment in political matters.
We had hoped that the senator would

would have been an honest one, as 20
whether panic might not be expected to
follow Bryan's election, and to give his
reasons for such opinion. This panic
idea is our bugaboo just as much as that
man on horsebsck" was the speakers
OF last week.
Our idea af panic is strengthened by
a circular lately issued by Messrs. W. F.
0'Connor 4 Co., of Wall street, which
states that
I'VE are, poss. bly,. on the eve of an i'm
mense financial revolution. People, gen

The opinion OF these brokers may be
wrong, but still we believe it is, TO an
alarming extent, a correct one, and, be-
lieving so, We most conscientiously ask

MINING.
For Our Foreign Born Citizens.

Senator Hopkins, when speaking or
Monday night and abiding to Mexico
said they could call Mexican dollar
what they liked, but it was still dollar
in Mexico. This, OF course, ia true; but
supposing an American, working in Mex
leo. had to support his family in this
country he would find, or rather his
family would, that a Mexican dollar
would not pass for dollar in America.
The Bryanites will, we think, admit
that il their free silver scheme goes
through, it will take some time before
their silver dollar will be equal to a gold
dollar. We will suppose, for the sake of
argument, that the free silver dollar
would buy az much in America as it does
now-this, it must be remembered, is
only suppositlon, for it certainly would
not be fact, at any rate for some years
but il the owner of these silver dollars
wished to remit some OF hem to his
family or his poor old father and mother
oyer the sea they would find that, il the
free silver dollars were dollars in america,
they certainly were not in Europe, and
he would either have TO lessen the allow
ance to his friends in Europe or he woue
have to stint himself or family in this
country, and such being the case, and we
think this is beyond dispute, it would
look as il the Bryanites were not likely
to receive much support from this dis
trict, so many OF our people either send
ing money over to Europe Themselves, or
have friends who do.

senator Mantle.

The senator might well feel proud of the
assembly OF ladies and gentlemen who
had gathered from all parts OF the county
in the Armory last night to hear him,
and richly did he deserve the compliment,
for he certainly gave them fine flowing
discourse, which, besides being very en-
pertaining, was on some points instruc-
tive; but whether he gave any valid rea-
sons why wepeople in the copper regions
of Michigan should vote for free silver.
except for sympathy's sake, may well be
considered an open question.
The senator gave US the impression OF
his own honesty OF purpose and W as fair
enough to state that those west OF the
Rockies were fighting, really, for s.lfish
ends, just as we, OF the Lake Superior
copper country, would do IL the
government took steps to impoyerish our
industry. In addition TO the sympathy
racket he tried to make il appear that il
silver were remonetized il would make
the silver states flourish and that in con.
sequence they would soon furnish field
for the employment Of many OF the idle
miners OF Lake Superior.
The senator answered the remark OF
Mr.. F. C. Chamberlain, who referred on
Saturday last to three cars OF Montana
copper, which had been sent To the Dollar
Bay works for manufacture in competi
ton with our Lake Superior copper. by
saying that he would dismiss such re-
marks az being almost ridiculous, for the
amount OF silver in the western copper
ores was so small that il would not cut
any figure. This is another instance
observation-disclosures alter the case, for II
we remember correctly, has been stated
over and over again in the western
papers that the silver extracted from the
copper ore about paid all the expense OF
mining, etc., and that nearly all the price
for which the western copper was sold
was clear profit. II such In the case,
would II not be putting bigger chance
for competing with our Lake Superior
