Democrats Out Of Funds.

The democratic bureau has run
short of funds. That is, they have got
ten down to the danger line and are re-
ducing expenses. Most of their work is
being done by volunteers, and all save
the big managers and needed stenog-
raphers draw-their breath. Still
Charley Walsh looks opulent.
1t was reported at democratic head
quarters today that Mr.. Bryan had
completed his letter of acceptance and
that it woulo be given out for publica-
tion in the course of a week. Col. Bryan
has been hard at work on the docu-
ment for several days and is said to
have remodeled it in order to reply to
President McKinley's letter. There is
a great curiosity here to learn what
Bryan will say about the immediate
issue" as the president called the sill

apolis address and other speeches
made in the east and middle west.

SEINE RIVER GOLD MINES
OLIVE, sWEDE BOY, RANDOLPH
AND GOLDEN CRESCENT ARE
FAVORITE PROPERTIES
RAILWAY INTO MINE CENTER
An Era of Development and Effort
to Get Ore Out of the Ground
Succeeds SpecuIa-
ton.

DULUTH, Mimi, April 14-(Special.)-
]. D. Cooley, Of Cooley & Underhill, who
is connected with the Mutual Develop
ment company, which is operating a prop
erty on the west side of Bad Vermillion
lake, in the Seine river gold district, has
just returned from that lively camp. Mr.
Cooley, in addition to prospecting on the
property upon which they are operating,
looked over the Olive, Golden Star,
Swede Boy, Randolph, Isabella, Golden
Crescent, Manhattan, Foley and otEer
properties. He said the Olive and Sweda
Boy were very similar propositions. and
spoke very highly of them He was pleas
ed with the showings made by the Ran
dolph and Golden Crescent, and predict
ed that these two properties were bound
to become good mining propositions. He
also said that there now seems to be a
general feeling that development work
and the erection Of machinery is neces-
sary to make prominent mining camp,
and less attention given to booming tie
country than ever before In It's history.
The building of the new railway into Mine
Center, he states, will bring In a large
properties more accessible Said he:
The general outlook for the Seine river
district is a great deal better than 1 sup
posed 1t was before making a visit to the
camp. The new railroad Is coming IN,
and with it will come a large amount of
capital. Active development operations
are going forward, and the erection of
stamp mills will soon make this camp
one Of the best gold producers in Canada.
There is talk of erection of at least 200
more stamps this summer
AT Sturgeon Falls an English syndi-
cate, with 100000 in the treasury, is de-
veloping the Mayfower, under the direc-
ton of Maj. A. w. B. Whiteley. Machiu-
cry has been purchased for this property
and Is now being installed. This syndi-
cate has 5000 acres in the vicinity Of S ur-
geon Falls, and proposes to open up sew
eral properties, develop a water power,
and build an electric railway to transport
the ore to one big mill. They talk OF
anywhere from 100 to 200 stamps on the
property.
Il looked over the various mining prop
critics that are in operation, and 1 con-
slider that they are all in a pretty healthy
condition. Already things are pretty live

gress and the legislatures seek to nuIli-
fy the effect of these chains by claiming
the chains. 1t is seriously proposed to
restore free competition by prohibiting
trust combinations from entering into
competition. Laws have been passed
for the avowed purpose of preventing
combinations which control two-thirds of
the production of any article from SELL
ing their goods in competition with the
producers of the remaining third 1t is
no cause for wonder that all the so-called
antitrust laws have resulted in igno-
minious failure and that the number of
trust combinations never increased so
rapidly as since these laws We're en-
acted
There Is but one remedy for slavery;
and that is liberty. There is but one
remedy for monopoly, and that is to set
free those currents which have been re-
strained by monopoly. No combination
can ever be permanently successful un-
less it is founded upon some monopoly
Of natural resources. In very rare cases
such a monopoly is founded upon the ex-
traoTdinary genius of one or two men,
For this there is, and ought to be, no
remedy. Nature makes it impossible
that such monopoly Of genius should
last more than few years, and during
that period its benefits will far out
weigh al lNS hiSduNduldS0S. GG0luS may
have an occasional monopoly, but no one
can long have monopoly in genius.
Nature is sure to produce a rival genius,
who does in another way what the first
genius did in his own peculiar way This
was strikingly Illustrated in the history
of the steel manufacture. Bessemer hav-
ing invented one immensely valuable and
a cheap process for making steel; Sic
mems followed with another method, and
Gilchrist and Thomas with still an
other.
The great monopolies Of this country
owe their existence to special unjust
privileges, conferred upon them by a
course Of legislation which the people OF
the United States adopted of their own
free will and which are still maintained
by the votes of the very people who
most loudly declaim against monopolies
