OPEN MILLS OR MINES2

A Significant Comparison OF Mining and
Other Industries.
In 1890 there were about 1000 mines In
this country producing both gold and sill
yer In varying quantities.
In the same year there were more than
1856, 600 factories in the United States turn
ing out manufactured products, more
than so ZINES as many factories as mines
OF gold dnd silver put together.
The mines employed leas than so, 600
men, The factories employed nearly 3. 000,-
600 hands-in short, 90 times as many.
Mines 90 not purchase raw materials and
80 give employment to others, but the fac
tories in 1890 paid more than %, 600, 000,-
600 for raw materials.
And what OF the value Of productsf
That OF the mines was nearly eI00, o00, 900
in gold and silver. That looks big Un-
til you compare 1t with $1,000, 900, 900
OF value produced by the factories.
-Four cities of California alone in 1890
showed an output OF manufacture nearly
double in value the product of all the gold
and silver mines of the Union And Cal
ifornia is not manufacturing state COM
pared with some of her sisters. Ohio dis
charged more factory hands on account OF
the Wilson bill than were ever employed in
all the mines in one year. New York city
alone did the same thing.
Which IA the paramount Issue? Which
shall we proteotp 1t Is hard to realize the
magnitude of our manufacturing interests
except by comparison. The value pro-
duced, the people employed directly, the
people employed indirectly, the farm prod
ucts to feed them, the railroad and steamer
facilities to move them, all these items
run into figures that bewilder the brain
that tries to comprehend them.
Yet we are asked to believe that 1t ID
| more important to help the mine owner
sell his bullion than 1t is to foster these 81
/ gantic manufacturing interests 1t will
not be our mining that will make us a
| great nation. Mining is a local issue
/ mines are confined to half dozen states,
and, strange as 1t may seem, a half dozer
cities IN those states turned out In 1896
! nearly three times as much value In man
/ ufactures as the half dozen states did IL

Manufacturing is not local. 1t is cock

M'KINLEY TO THE
FIRST VOTER.
HE SPEAKS INTERESTINGLY
OF the Joy and Satisfaction With
Which He Cast His FlrstVote
For Abraham Lincoln.

There has been no better or more effect
i've speech delivered IN the course OF the
campaign Of education now In progress and
soon coming to q cloee than that which
was addressed by Major William Mckinley
to che delegation Of FIRST voters that recent
" visited him. eAeA -
The Republican candidate spoke ear
nestly and imprUssively OF the dignity that
hedges about the citizen OF free republic,
where the ballot gives to every man an
equal voice with every other man in the
governments Of the country. In the follow
ing language Major Mckinley told these
young men OF his own first vote, which
was cast while he was a young soldier,
fighting for his country, when in camp IN
1864. He said:
1.-THE period and circumstances when I
cast my first vote may have had a deeper
impression upon me than it otherwise
would, but recall It now, after SO years,
with sensations Of Joy and satisfaction
In the crisis OF war, on the very fleld OF
conflict, my first vote was cast for Abra-
ham Lincoln. 1t Is TO me- priceless MEM
ory. What a glorious privilege to have
been permitted TO vote for q candidate for
president whose services to his country in
the greatest peril of its life rank with the
services of Washington, the father Of his
OOunbryi EE1c0lo8S memory 70 me That
could vote for the martyr TO liberty, the
emAncipator OF a race, and the savior OF
the only free government among men.
You, gentlemen, did not have the priv
lege. but it having been denied you, there
WIN be some satisfaction to you to vote fo1
the party of Lincoln, which rallied the
young men OF the country around the
banner OF liberty, union and national
honor between 1860 and 1866, and now
summons you under the same glorious
| banner"
There Is an inspiration in such remi
niscence and In such a patriotic appeal thai
should not fail TO make a profound impres
sion not only upon those to whom it wa
directly addressed, but to the young anC
first voters IN every section Of the Union
i The cause for which William McKinle,
when q boy of IL went out to fight Is tn
same cause In defense Of which he nov
summons the youth of the republic &
range themselves.
Can there be any doubt as to the re
| Spouse that Will be made?
Young man, cast your first vote for th
party Of Lincoln, for Union and nationa
honor.

ter way than to vote for him.

TIE country has witnessed one Of
the fercest contests ever known in
the political history Of any country.
1t is useless TO disguise the fact
that Hon. NJ. A. Hanna, the Repubh
can manager has brought to his as
sistance the ablest. political leaders in
the United States.
The silver craze had to be met. Hon.
WILLIAM j. BRYAN has been shooting
through the country like q meteor and
the influence exerted has been Of the
most positive kind.
Persuasive, brilliant. magnetic, he
has made . fight almost as phenome-
nal as those to whom he has been OPP
posed.
He is the champion OF a theory. and
he has been met by facts.
The result can hardly be said to be
in doubt.
Mr.. BRYAN will be defeated by sig
nal majority and ex-Gov. WILLIAM
MCKINLEY, JR., will be the next presi-
dent Of the United States.

FREE SILVER AND
THE WORKINGMEN.
THEY WILL NOT BENEFIT.
They Will Get Less Wages and
Will Have to Pay More For
Everything They Buy.

Suppose this country adopts free silver,
where will the workingman come IMP
Does he think that his wages will be i'm
mediately doubledf II we can Judge the
future by the past, they will not The
worktngman already knows that by ex-
perience. Under free silver he viii have a.
lot of dollars containing 40 cents worth OF
silver, for that is the actual price of silver
in a dollar at the present time
When he goes TO spend these dollars for
provisions or clothing, he may be awaken
ed from his beautiful dream OF free silver,
for he will find all tbs prices away up
Tea, coffee, sugar, clothes, GOAL, rent, ev-
erytbinE has advanced in price. But how
about his wage3 Have they increased as
much as the commodities he is compelled
TO buy for himself and fainiyp Hardly.
The experience of every nation teaches that
wages rise more slowly than commodities.
They arc the last to feel the effect of adj
vancing prices. Between 1860 and 1896
the prices of commodities went mp 1879 per
cent Wages advanced only 30 per cent
Wherever, in fact, the currency OF a nation
has been inflated prices OF commodities
have risen, but wages have risen much
more slowly, II at all
1t does not appear, therefore, that the
laborer will gain anything through free
silver On the contrary, he VIII lose Es,
as well a. everybody else, must take the 40
oent dollar because the law says so. When
he draws his weekly wages, they viii be
paid TO him in dollars worth 40 cents. The
money he has In savings banks will be rep
resented by dollars worth less than half q
dollar. The investment he has made IN
building and loan associations to provide
himself with home for his family will be
represented only by 40 cent dollars. and the
amount of his investment viii dwindle
one-hah. If fire should visit his home, his
| insurance would be paid in dollars not
worth 100 cents, as he expected, but in DOL
lars worth 40 cents.
And so it is in every transaction in
which money plays a part Everything
the workingman has 10 buy will cost him
twice as much as IL does now, and his re-
ceipts from whatever source will be only
half as much as they we're in 1.-THE good
old days. before free silver.

POLITICS in THE PULPIT.

In a recent sermon preached by Rev.

vary Baptist church on West Fifty-sev-
eDth street, New York, ne said:
HE is the enemy of the toiling
masses who would pay for their labor
in deprecated coin. Those Populistic
orators who are trying to make wage
earners believe that they should be will
ing to take a 5S cent dollar for 100
cents worth of work are the enemies of
mankind These Populistic orators show
a tender solicitude for the workingman
that is really touching, but any man
who will give a dishonest dollar for
honest work is labor's enemy. Well did

For the unfortunates who lie awake,
staring at the ceiling and counting the
strokes Of the clock, every sleepless
night is an eternity.
Mrs. J. A. Sample of 1853 Broadway,
New York City, was afflicted with in
somnia until her nerves were on the
verge of prostration. She thinks her
condition was due to indigestion. Here
is what Mrs. Sample says:
''I have used Paine's celery compound
with marked and decided benefit. 1t is
especially useful in insomnia, arising
from Indigestion and poorly nourished
nerves.
Il should add that my granddaughter,
Vera Hafeigh, was so thin and puny at
the age of ten as to cause us the greatest
anxiety. We had no difficulty in induc-
ing her to take Paine's celery compound.
To-day the roses bloom in her cheeks,
and L never saw a healthier, stronger
child than Paine's celery compound has
made her.
