In the JorRSAL- MINER of August 5th, l submitted Bradstreet's report, with a a short comment of his own appended, with reference to the years 1894 and 1895, which reads as follows:
 "The general effect of the tariff of 1894 during the first full calendar year of its operation, was an increase of l2 per cent in imports and decrease of 9 per cent in exports. The imports of merchandise in 1895 increased S76,963, ,254, as compared with 1894, and the exports decreased $S4 4.60l, ,439. In other words, We were Sl6l ,564, ,693 worse of in our mer- chandise foreign trade during the first full year of the present tariff, than in the previous year. The ex- ports to the United Kingdom in- creased 4S per cent. The exports to Germany decreased 3 per cent, and the imports from Germany increased l7 per cent. The exports from France decreased l9 per cent, and the imports decreased g per cent. The above figures indicate why the United States has not been pros porous. Foreign countries bought less of us, and under the tariff of 1894 we have bought more of them, and the goods we bought should have been made m this country and given our own people employment
 l reproduce Bradstreet to get the reader back to the real issue. O'Sul- liyan has fslsified and prevaricated so ridiculously that the whole thing is into an interminable witchknot of confusion.
 All the above was aimed to be accurately quoted from Bradstreets, but, through an accident, the word decrease was printed in my article of August 5th, when Bradstreets used increased But the comment, which l herewith reproduce cures any just suspicion of trying to per vert the data, for 1t says plainly, Foreign countries bought less of us and we have bought more of them" and the words, decreased" IS per cent makes the article con tradict itself.

H. NJ Merriwether, president of the Cooperative Mining and Milling Company, came Tn from his mines
 yesterday evening, and reports that
 the plant will be ready to begin operations on August 17th. This plant IS situated on the west bank of the Agua Fria river, five miles east of Rumble Bee, and is perhaps the most modern in the territory. Everything is run by electricity, which will also furnish lights for the mines and the camp. The power is obtained from the water of the Agua Fria river, which is run for 1850 feet through 8 l5-inch iron pipe to Pelton water wheel. The vertical head at the water wheel IS POP feet. This wheel runs a 0-horse power dynamo and a triplex Dow pump.

PUBLIC DEFENSE ATTOR.
NEYS A NECESSITY.

The sixth amendment of the United
States Constitution defines the rights
of accused persons, and the closing
clause states that the accused is "to
have compulsory process for obtaining
witnesses in his favor; and to have the
assistance of counsel for his defense. -
Theoretically this is perfect, but it is
far from being so in practice. 1t is
true that the compulsory process -
ordinarily known as subpoena, can be
invoked by the accused in criminal
trial. and if the accused is too poor to
employ an attorney the judge appoints
a lawyer to defend him, said advocate
receiving the munificent sum of ten
dollars out of the public treasury, and
thus the letter of the law is obeved
literally. The majority of the men con-
fined in our state prisons today were
defended by attorneys appointed by
the courts, and with all due respect to
the bench and bar, it must be said that
almost invariably the attorneys so ap-
pointed were the young practitioners
who had just graduated from the law
school of some university, and conse-
quently were too inexperienced in the
devious way of the law to be able to
take any advantage of the many tech
nical points so we'll known to the states
attorney. There is no one who has
ever gone through the experience of a
criminal trial that does not know that
the subpoena process amounts to but
very little so far as the defense is con-
cerned, unless the defendant can guar
antee the necessary fees and expenses
of his witnesses. No matter how hon.
est and sincere an attorney may be, it
is too much to expect of human nature
that he will take much interest in the
case unless there is fair fee in sight
for him, and certainly the ten dollars
received cannot be called such, and in
ninety per cent. of the cases he will ad-
wise his client to plead guilty to some
reduced charge, or to throw himself on
the mercy of the court, and the accused,
being ignorant of what is for his best
interests, follows the advice. Here,
then, in practice we have, on the one
side, all the power of the government
arrayed against the accused, which
means leader of the bar, having one
or two assistants and perhaps the aid
of the attorney general, unlimited
money with which to secure witnesses.

behests. On the other side, novice of

ment under oath is always considered
doubtful, and perhaps one or two wit
nesses who have the moral courage to
appear in behalf of one under a cloud.
Can it be maintained that this is right
or just? The injustice Of the law in
civil cases along similar lines has
been recognized, in one of our
large cities at least, by the promi-
nent members of the bar forming
an association for the purpose of secur-
ing for the poor the Justice which the
law is supposed to grant everyone. The
members of this society prosecute the
cases, without charge, of laboring peo-
pie who are too poor to employ legal
talent to secure the wages earned by
hard toll. So thoroughly does this as
ISOLATION perform its task that the
threat to appeal to the illegal bureau"
is usually sufficient to secure immedi-
ate payment. If such injustice is
found in our civil law, where the ques-
ton at issue is simply of dollars and
cents, how much more so is it the
case in our criminal procedure where
the matter involved is one of liberty
and often of life itself? Does not
justice and impartiality demand that
a public defense attorney should be
elected the same as the prosecuting
attorney, with equal power and re-
sources? Society is DESTROYS that JUS
tice should be done; can it be accom-
plished in any other way? The answer
must be, No. Sooner or later this fact
will be recognized and such an at
torney will be as much a part of the
machinery of our courts as the pros
ecuting attorney is at the present time.
