SOCIAL DEMOCRACY.
CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE.


CONTINUED FROM FIRST pAGE.1
Democracy will grow more rapidly than auy
other organization ever started, and that its
spontaneous development and expansion will
be revelation to the people.
The Social Democrat, the official paper of
the organization, will be published weekly for
the present, and on Jan. daily paper will be
issued. In addition to this, literary bueau
will be established for the printing and dis.
tribution of social, economic and political litei-

The success of the Social Democracy is as
sured from the very beginning Its reception
by the masses is proof positive that the people
are ripe for it and that it will rapidly grow in
favor until it fulflls its e:nancipatng mission.

Our old friend Jasper ]. Brown, of Oswego,
N. Y, sends us copy of the Oswego Daily
Palladium containing all account of the horrible
death of his daughter, Miss Maud Brown. The
Young lady was driving from her home in Os-
weeo, to Fulton, to visit sister, and, when
crossing the R. w. & o. railroad, an engine
struck her buggy and threw her i'll front of the
engine Her head was cut and her skull frac-
tured; her right leg was almost severed from
her body, and her right aim was crushed. She
was taken to Fulton, and four physicians did
all they could for her, but she did not regain
consciousness and died within short time.
We have not words to express our sympathy for
the bereaved father. The death of his daughter

stimulate the establishment of factories

a monopoly.

ALL BOSH.

After all, the japanese navy Is not
going 70 blow the American fleet into
smithereens over the Hawaiian ques-
ton. as suggested by the London Globe,
nor upon the other hand is 1t anything
but foolishness for the English press to
proclaim possible alliance between
Spain and Japan against the United
States. People with reasonable long
memories will recall the fact that
Spain has been having trouble with the
Philippine Islands and that Japan was
more than suspected of having an eye
on those same islands, with hope OF
their future possession even at the cost
of bout with Spain. Those Spanish
islands are more to Japan than Cuba is
TO the United States, and for the same
reasons. Hawaii as a possible future
possession is not to be thought Of on
the same day with the Philippines so
far as Japan is concerned. The truth
is, and plain enough to be seen by
everybody, Japan would be much more
inclined to seek an alliance with the
United States as against Spain. Japan
and Spain have nothing in common.
The former re known as the Yankees
of the Orient. As a people they have
been industriously copying the people
OF America. Japan today appreciates
the power and resources of the United
States of America and in more prac
teal sense than do any of the Euro
pean powers.
SO this British sneer at Uncle Sam S
navy, and the attempt of the London
press TO make a diplomatic play falls
TO the ground. The truth is, and Eng
land is aware OF the fact, the naval
vessels of Japan are outnumbered and
outclassed by the United States navy.
Japan'S fleet never gets outside of the
Pacific, while that of this country is
scattered the world around. Yet We
have in the Pacific ocean several first
class battle-ships, cruisers and moni-
tors which could if necessary hold their
own against Japan's navy. However,
Japan has nothing against this govern
ment Her complaint is against the
authorities of Hawaii, who, it seems in
expecting speedy annexation with this
country. has ignored some of their
treaty obligations with Japan.

RIVER BEDS OF GOLD.

1t would, as is claimed by financial
writer's, take an immense aggregate or
newly discoveed gold, added to the eX-
ing volume. to affect the present
value of that metal in such degree as
to enhance the price Of silver. We pin
no faith TO the theories of these inter-
ested financiers. Experience has shown
the contrary to be true. Silver within
the memory of comparatively young
men was worth more than Is to 1, and
because of its relatively smaller produc-
ton. If as many pounds, averdupois.
Of gold were produced, annually. as
there is being produced Of silver, gold.
In a very short time would be worth
no more per ounce than silver. It
would soon be 16 to 1, ana then 10 to 1,
TO /, and finally l to 1, when the scale
would go the other way in the event
of more gold than silver, until eventu-
ally if produced in great excess ii
would become as copper, base metal.
While there is no probability Of any
such thing happening, still if the ru-
mors of the recent discoveries in Alas
IA should prove true. and the fields be
Of wide extent, the present price of
gold, which has largely been enhanced
rs measured by other values, and prln-
hipally by the demonetizatiOn of silver,
would most certainly be deprecated.
That is, an ounce of gold would buy
less of silver, less of wheat, less Of all
things else, than now.
The dispatches say that the amount
of gold brought down by the Portland,
the last steamer from Alaska, by re-
turning miners, foOts up fully $1,000
coo. The captain of the vessel vouches
for the truth of the statement. An
other dispatch, speaking Of the KlOn-
dyke mines. says that they are located
geographically 16 degrees 10 minutes
north latitude. 13S degrees 30 minutes
west longitude. One mine district is
80 miles long, every claim staked and

very rich, paying something like SD
TO 5000 per hour to each hand worked.
If those mines were located in a warm
country, the millionaires of this country
would be multiplied very rapidly. As
it is, the pay dirt has TO be thawed
with fires and the waters used for
washing are freezing cold. A single
pan full Of dirt often yields from SO
to SIS.
Nothing arouses civilized man to SUI
oerhuman exertions like the chance of
winning or finding a fortune in gold
mine. Hardships and deprivations are
submitted TO, and life itself is thrown
feverishly into the balance. No risk is
estimated as being too perilous. So
thousands are embarking for FL Do
RADIO, for Bonanza Creek and Klon-
dyke. People from New York to San
Francisc are preparing for the venture
which will mean death to many and
hardships for every one who under
takes it. Coined money nor virgin gold
can buy comforts in the Yukon basin
in interior Alaska.

COTTON SEED OIL.

The enormous extent of the cotton
seed oil industry is little appreciated by
the average observer. This age of util-
lty has discovered few biproducts
which have turned out so astonishingly
In the way Of great and important re-
suits as the seed of cotton. The de-
partment of agriculture has had a pa
per prepared and published on the sub
ject from which it appears that no less
than four million tons of cotton seed
From a table Of exports of cotton seed
oil published in the Oil, Paint and
Drug Reporter, we find that from Sep
TENDER, 1896. TO June. 1897. the eX-
ports from New York amounted to
1851 42 gallons, and from New Or
leans TO 5,662, 500 gallons. Cotton seed
oil was also shipped during that period
from Galveston, Baltimore and other
ports.
Ten years ago the hulls remaining
OTTER the oil had been pressed out were
burned: but more recently it has been
found that these hulls are highly valu-
able as cattle food. ranking in value
with timothy or corn. Major Ham
mond estimates the potential value of
the hulls and meal fed Ia cattle and the
droppingS used as a fertilizer during
the past year at S113.OO0. 900. or over
half the value of the lint cotton OF last
years crop: and these seeds were once
thought a nuisance
An interesting and somewhat anus
ing story is told Of the method of con-
Quering the prejudice Of the southern
farmers against cotton seed hulls as
cattle food. The manager of a cotton
seed oil mill in Rome. Georgia. having
proved privately the food value of the
cotton seed hullS, purchased two half
Starved steers ana had them weighed
publicly: he then fed them on cotton
seed hulls and each week paraded them
through the streets with placards
showing the original weight and week
ly gain. Another oil company pur-
chased eco steers from Texas and fed
and fsttened them al its mill on cotton
seed hulls.
In n recent contribution 10 the Au-
glsta Ga. Chronicle, Mr. l.. \. RAN
som. of the Southern Cotton oil COM

the development of the cotton oil in
