Twenty years ago 1t was estimated
that 100000 persons crossed London
bridge daily. 10000 on foot and the

by the building of the Tower bridge,

1t has therefore become an urgent
matter to increase the capacity OF the

Never Stronger Than Now.

The divergent views of Republican
statesmen, and the tenacity with
with which such views are severalIy
maintained, indicate the virility of the
Republican party. 1t has been posi-
tive, forcefuI party throughout its
strenuous existence. 1t is a thought
full, considerate party, with convic-
cock mold, making them amenab1e to
change with every political breeze.
The Democratic leaders are quite
welcome to all the hope they can
make out of the vision they affect to
see at Washington. They may at
least enjoy the comforting assurance
of Paul, But if we hope for that we
see not, then do we with patience wait
for it.. 1t will be long wait The
cohesion of the Republican party was
never stronger than it is to-day
There never was time when it's lead
ers were more loyal in its support or
more determined to stand shoulder to
shoulder in defense of its principles
But there is no bel1-wether in the Re
publican fold The leaders of the
party, and the rank and file as well
do their own thinking and express
their own views. When it comes to a
political battle, however, all minor
considerations are forgotten, with the
usual result of total eclipse of Demo

MINERAL PRODUCTS.
Their Output Enormously Increased i'm
Five Years of Protection

To a large degree our mineral pro-
duction is indicative of what protec-
ton has done for our Industrial expan-
sion under the operation of the Ding
ley law. The coal for our furnaces
and for engines in mills, the rail-
road and as the basis for all motive
power; the iron ore which is the basis
of our great iron and steel output,
the stone for construction purposes;
the copper and silver and gold all
show a most wonderful increase dur
ing the past five years. In value our
mineral production has increased
from 1922, 900 900 in 1896 to over ST.
zoe, 900 900 in 1901, or 100 per cent.
and the output for 1902 will doubt
show a most substantial increase over
last year.
The following table shows the in
crease in value of a few of min
eral products from 1896 to 1901:

The Globe-republican. [volume] (Dodge City, Kan.) 1889-1910, 1902-08-07

In all the above the increase was
enormous, except silver, which shows
a slight decrease in both quantity and
commercial value.
Some of the less important products
increased in even greater proportions,
such as graphite, from $4S. 900 to $780,
900; feldspar, from $35 900 to 5000, 000s
precious stones, from $97, 900 to $780,
900; flint, from $4,000 to $196. 900;
mineral paints, from $3.50, 900 to $780,
600; pyrite, from 100000 to $4,000,
and so on through the list. Perhaps
the most noteworthy increase is that
in the production of iron ore This is
shown again in the pig iron output,
which has Increased from 6.657, 1888
tons in 1894 to 15,S7S.354 tons in 1901,
and an estimated output of nearly 49,
100000 tons for the present year
Our whole mineral production, like
that of agriculture manufacturing and
forest products, shows the effect of our
increased purchasing power. In ship
ping, railroading, building, and every
field of mechanism there is the same
increased demand for the products of
mines, which at the present rate
of increase will in a year or two ex-
