The fairness of the Republican

The fairness of the Republican
congressional apportionment will
be better appreciated when it is
understood that 675,ooo Republi-
cans who cast their ballots for Nc
Kinley are given IS representatives
while the $4,000 Democrats who
voted for BRYAN are allowed but
5. That is, the Republicans take
a Congressman for every 1000
votes aud give the Democrats one
for every r4Gooo. Taking six
times the representation that they
allow their opponents may look all
right to the ordinary ringster, but
we doubt il there is a decent polite
ian or an honest minded citizen III
the Commonwealth who will con.
slider it a fair deal.

but it believes that a refusal to
unite with those who have not
hitherto acted with us and who are
now willing to join their forces
with ours for the accomplishment
of great good to all the people Of
the state, is neither sound Democ-
racy nor good politics. The dele

Advice From the Enemy.

1t is good rule in politics as in
war to find out what the enemy
wants you to do and then do the
other thing. 1t is a fact whose sig
nifcance cannot be overlooked BY
the Democrats of PENNSYLVANIA that
the principal newspaper which rep
reSents the Quay-Durham interest
is mos. concerned for the nomina-
ton Of a straight Democratic
ticket this fall that Republican
partisans generally are of this same
view, and that protests against FLU
sion" are coming simultaneously
from persons recognized through
out the State as Quay Democrats.
All the bogus Democrats who went
over openly to Quay in the late Leg
islature are earnestly against fusion
with the Independents. All the
machine leaders insist that it would
be great mistake.
Sincere Democrats who wish to
accomplish results, for the Com
monwealth and Tor the party will
ponder these facts. aud observing
that all the forces of the enemy and
his allies are earnestly opposed to
fusion, they will conclude that fu-
sion is what the enemy most breads,
and that it is, therefore, the wisest
plan to follow.
The Democratic party Is not in a
position at this time to carry an
election in Pennsylvania unaided.
We need not stop now to discuss
the reasons why. We have simply
to consider facts, and it is a fact
that it cannot command, on mere
party lines, majority of the voters.
By putting itself at the head OF the
movement for the reform of the
State government and inviting the
cooperation of the independent
Republicans, it can enter into the
campaign with every hope of sue
cess. Out Of such success will be
| developed without effort strong
and confident party organization
that will become again a forceful
factor i'll the State. That is what
the Republican machine does not
want. 1t is what the Democrats
ought especially to strive for.
This years election in no posi-
be way involves any question OF
national policy. 1t concerns only
the rescue Of Pennsylvania from
the organized band of political
plunderers who have fastened their
control upon every branch OF pub
lie authority. TOT this essential end
the Democratic party should both
invite and seek the cordial union
and cooperation of all good citi,
zens, and as cordially unite with ev.
cry organized effort 10 regain the
political liberties of the Common,
wealth. This is the opportunity
not to be thrown away, as the op,
portunities OF the legislative session
were sacrificed by so-called Demo
Gratis, who made their own private
fusion with the Quay machine
The fear Of an independent fusior
that the machine now mauifests i.
sufficient evidence that it is the
right policy for Democrats to sup
port. -Philaatlhhia Times.

ward. But as the ''7oet SmelHHg' has
now supplanted the hot smelling for
all weaker ores, an average 5 per cent

According to surveys and from the
reports Of other scientific men it is
no uncommon thing to find in the
Atlantic deposits millions Of tons Of
similar ore.
From more than one hundred as
says, the ores of The Pennsylvania
Copper and Mining Company have
given an average above I per cent.
copper. Besides this there are work
able quantities of magnesia, alumi-
mum and some iron; traces of silver
with now and then a start of gold.
The company has opened 10 mines
which gave ores assayins from so per
cent. down to nine-tenths of one per
cent. There is ore enough in sight
to keep the plant running from 5 to
10 years. These deposits, which are
from few inches to six feet thick,
have benuded by glacial action.
There is now erected plant capa-
bic OF handling $50 tons OF ore day.
It's machinery is complete and paid
for. It's product will need no refner,
being metallic copper. And its man.
agement will be in careful hands;
those acquainted with the methods
which made the low grade "Lake"
mines famous. By the method used
IN this plant per cent. copper should
pay more than expense of smelling
and otherwise handling it.
About 10 million pounds Of fine
copper are being extracted yearly
from the Atlantic beds. Some places
ore is brought from 100 feet under
ground. Here It Is found at the sur
tace.
Cost OF mining, handling and ex-
traction, will be about S2.75. This
would mean profit OF IS cents on
each ton OF a I per cent. ore.

There are few newspapers and
a few so-called Democrats that are
protesting against a fusion with In
dependent Republicans on State
ticket this fall. There were a few
men elected as Democrats in The
last Legislature who declined to
fuse with the insurgents. and who
followed this up by voting for the
machine candidates for President of
the Senate and Speaker of the
House who voted for Quay for
United States Senator, and who
voted for every machine measure
that was presented during The ses-
sion. These men, who could have
changed the whole program by
Joining the Democrats and Insurg-
ents, are now naturally opposed to
a movement that will defeat the
machine III the State election.
They could have taken the control
OF the Legislature from the hands
OF the machine, prevented the cleo
ton OF Quay, and saved the State
from the mass of iniquitous legisla-
tion that characterized the entire
session. They were despised and
denounced by their fellow members,
and their names will sink into OBJ
livion as traitors to their party
Surely the influence of such men
can have but little effect on the ac.
ton OF the state organization.
The Democrats party must purge
itself of such material 1t can do
so by joining forces with all men
i'll the state who desire honest gov.
ernment, just legislation, economi-
cal administration, a free ballot and
an honest count, Gd a general re-
form OF the many abuses that have
crepJ into Our state affairs. There
IS no national issue in this state
this year. Free silver, the tariff,
Imperialism and the like have no
part in Pennsylvania politics at
present. 1t is entirely matter OF
state only that we have to deal
with, and all outside issues should
be avoided. The burning question
OF the hour is whether the conduct
OF public affairs in this Common.
wealth shall be wrested from the
spoilsmen who are eprichiag them
selves at the expense Of the people.
What harm can come to the
Democracy by fusion with that
branch oil. the Republican party
that is desirous of throwing off the
yoke that has burdened their party
for years, and who are milling TO
join forces with us to redeem the
state' Certainly none whatever.
The good that could be accom-
plished by such a fusion is incalcul-
able. 1t would mean the end of
Quay domination, the overthrow of
the gang that now holds Pennsyl-
vania i'll It's iron grasp, the beginning
ofa new political era for our grand
old state.
