Value of Pro-

The minerals named above, except the
first and last, are produced in the United
States in greater quantity than in any
other country in the world. England
now. leads US lightly on silver. 1t may
be said, with very close approximation
to the facts, that of the worlds supply we
produce one.fourth the gold, onefourth
the silver, and four sevenths of the
copper. We also produce more than one
fourth of the mercury and more than one
fifth the lead of the world. Spain leads
the world in the production of both lead
and mercury.
OF the total value of our mineral pro-
ducts for 1896, the coal amounts to BIT
per cent, irontv l3.1, gold to SS, copper
to rs, petroleum to IL, iron ore to 4 8,
silver to AZ per cent. From these per-
centages it is shown that coal, iron and
gold amount to more than one half (53.6
per cent? the value of our mineral pro-
ducts. The seven minerals above named
amount to more than three quarters az
per cent? OF the total value of our min
eral products.
1t will probably surprise many people
to know that petroleum, which stands
fifth in value on the list of mineral pro-
ducts, also stands fourth in value on the
list of our exports. The value of the
crude aud refined petroleum exported is
exceeded by that of only three other
articles-cotton, hog products (neat,
lard, etc) and wheat flour, In the other
named.
Our heaviest exports in 1896 were
cotton, amounting to $l90,000,O00; corn
wheat and -four amounting to $l2O,OO0,-
600; beef and hog products to $115,O0O,-
600.
Our largest importations were sugar,
amounting to $89,O0O,OO0; wool and
woolens to $s6,OOo,o0o, and coffee to 1885,
100000.
But if all the signs do not fail we will
soon cease to be importers and become
exporters of sugar. Captain Day has
proved beyond all doubt hhat here in
Santa Fe beets can be grown bearing a
larger amount of saccharlne matter than
any Others in the world, and this too on
first experiment. This following 80
close on the great success of beet sugar
in the Pecos valley is most encouraging
and must attract capital to New Mexico
within whose ample bounds we ought to
supply large part of the United States.
As for wool there never has been in our
days any reason (bnt hostile Democratic
legislation) to prevent US from growing
every ounce we require for all our ne
cessities. With ten years of Republican
tariffs we can spend at home every dollar
of the above enormous sums which we
now pay to foreigners for wool and su-
gar. Surely we have had enough Demo
cratic free trade for generation at least.

mainly by the energies of coal aud iron,
Spain, from being the foremost nation of
the middle ages, fell from her high estate
through the corruption, luxury, and eff
feminacY, produced by the superabundant
supply of the precious metals from her
American colonies. England at the same
time was climbing up to greatness main
ly because of her possession of great
mines of coal and iron; but even she
must lower the pennon of supremacy in
the presence of the gigantic advances of
the United States. The great secret of
success in the produce of iron ia in the
close contiguity of iron and coal mines,
which is attained in no part of the world
80 perfectly asin Alabama and Georgia.
The Eoglish are compelled to go to such
tremendous depths for coal now, that
thoughtful men look forward with grave
apprehension to the day when the supply
will be exhausted, and it must be remem
bered that even now a large proportion
of England's iron ore is imported from
Spain and Sweden. A hundred and TWEEN
ty years ago the grasping policy of the
Mother country prohibited our fathers
from manufacturing anything. Today
we are far ahead of her and the rest of
the world in everything which contrib
utes to the happiness of mankind. And
80 far from our resources being exhaust
ed we are only, 80 to say, scratching the
surface. The mind of man cannot see so
far into the future as to even guess when
our vast stores of either the precious or
baser metals can become exhausted.
They are simply inexhaustible. Some
nations possess one or two of the useful
metals in limited quantities but We have
them all in the greatest abundance.
The following figures com piled by $ E.
Tillman for the "Engineering and Mining
Journal" gives an approximate idea of
where we stand in the production of min
eral and other staple productions, and it
will be noticed that silver is at the very
foot of the class, and coal, which New
Mexico has in vast quantities, is at the
head
The table shows the most valuable
seven mineral products in the United
States for the year 1897.

The unfriendly and bitter criticism

The unfriendly and bitter criticism Of
the action of the sheriff's deputies in fir
ing on the striking miners in Pennsylvania
has borne fruit. mob of 300 striking
miners, in Illinois, the other day, attacked
a party of non-union miners and used
them up badly, while deputy sheriff was
caught and nearly beaten to death. The
deputies refrained from shooting at the
rioters, endeavoring to disperse them
with their fists. The mob taunted them
with cowardice, knowing that they had
public sentiment back of them. Public
sentiment sometimes goes wrong, and
results in injustice aud suffering.

The harmony of the two leading po-
litical parties Of Greater New York is
not excelled even by the harmony of the
European powers. The Citizens Union
organized itself to the slogan of good
government and reform. 1t nominated
Seth Low, president of Columbia univer-
sity and former mayor of Brooklyn, for
mayor of Greater New York, and he
accepted The Citizens Union is irrev-
erently called the "Cits" by it's ene-
mics. The Gifts wanted the regular Re-
publicans to come to them and vote for
Mr.. Low, but the GIFTS would not adj
vance one peg toward meeting the Re
publicans. They simply held out their
arms; that was all. They had nominat-
ed Low strictly on the platform that
national politics has nothing to do with
municipal affairs. The regular Repub-
lican leaders refused to admit this, SO
there is no union, and the Republicans
nominate a second candidate On the
opposite side of the line there is Tam

About Living Pictures.

A new notion is series of so called
living pictures illustrating the rapid
and not inviting progress down hill to
the black pool Of destruction Of u fellow
who starts out as a simple bad boy on
general principles There is series of
stereopticon views of a ragged and
dirty chap rushing the growler, Of an
opium joint and of convict behind
bars and finally a man who has been
saved through the instrumentality of
the church and good people. In brief,
it is the stages travelled by one who, as
somebody expressed it, is shooting the
shoots to hell.
We seriously question whether this
is the best way to reform wicked people.
1t is exactly the method adopted by the
French novelist Zola in his so called
realistic but frightful stories Those
stories have been condemned fore and
aft by good people as tending moro to
attract people into the road to vice than
to reform them
The experience of mankind proves
that the wicked can never be made per-
manently good by soaring them. The
true method is salways to set before them
the attractiveness of good rather than
the deformity of evil. The sight of an
opium joint in a stereopticon view will
naturally arouse i'll the breast Of an ad-
venturous youth desire to find out
what the real thing is like. The only
sure way to reform evildoers is to cap
ture them young, before they get very
bad, and set their feet in the right way,
making good citizens of them Living
pictures showing how this can be done
and has been done would be more to
the purpose.

Hon. John r Proctor in The Forum
sets forth some bald, fiat facts in regard
to Hawaii ard our Pacific and Asiatic
outlook that it will be well for the
American people to become acquainted
with and remember.
There are at this moment terrific
rivalry and race among the nations OF
Europe to gain new territory in the
south Pacific and everywhere else. II
the United States does not accept the
gift of Hawaii, it is not possible for
this much coveted prize to remain an
independent government.
The United States has now a Pacific
coast line, even leaving out that of
Alaska, 1900 miles long. The Alaskan
coast is of itself longer than "our At
lantic, gulf and Pacific coast lines COM
bined." The powers of Europe that are
reaching out to the east of Asia and the
islands of the south Pacific are doing it
with ever increasing navies and arma
ments. If any difficulty should arise
between one of these and the United
States, we should need swift cruisers
and convenient coaling stations to cope
with the situation We have no war
vessels capable of crossing the Pacific
and returning without stopping to coal
A convenient coaling station will mean
that war vessel may double her speed
without the certainty that she will ex-
haust her fuel supply before it can be
replenished If we are ever to have
swift merchantmen on the Pacific, we
shall need repair docks and abundant
coaling facilities even more than these
will be required in the event of war.
The acquisition Of Hawaii by the United
States and the fitting up of Pearl harbor
as complete naval station are therefore
vital to our future prosperity and indie
pendence
