The Sumpter miner. [volume] (Sumpter, Or.) 1899-1905, 1903-09-09

Macedonian cry for help or succor
from any miner anywhere. As pri
vate proposition the mining industry
of the nation and the several states
will advance in proportion to the
wealth they develop and the skill,
vim and science of those who make
up the mining world, with due regard
to the limitations imposed by the
nations neglect. IL Is not a plea
for assistance nor "A bid for office that
prompts the suggestion that cabinet
dei artmeht of mines and mining Is
needed. II comes from clear con
ception of national requirements;
from knowledge that such a depart.
ment IL needed as public measure:
the evidence that however efficient
state supervision may be. it lacks the
iron-clad potency of federal iuris.
diction: ID comes from the conscious
ness in the minds of many that the
great industry that has furnished so
great part of our national wea lth
should have the attention that will
enable il To be even still greater good
to the nation of the twentieth cen
tury. What mining has done for the
nation is but AN index of what II can
do. As n business proposition IL
would he the best paying investment
the nation ever made to create a ma
tional department of mines and min
ing and have IA representative of the
nations greatest industry In the Pres !
idcut's cabinet. The matter Is not !
II narrow one of place or petty poll
tics; IL Is one of wide import and !
should bc treated in n broad gauge !
way. II should bc the province and !
the purpose of our public men to
conserve the interests of their coun-
try, and where duty and policy so
plainly dictate the way il should not
be iii iiicult To follow it.

DEPARTMENT
OF MINES.
Industry Should be Supervised
BY Government, Not
BY States.


ing national department of mines
the Mining and Scientific Press
very aptly says:
Much has been said in this journal
in the last ten years in favor of tn,
creation of u cabinet department oI
mines and mining, and the argiI
mcnts advanced In supporting sucl
u measure continue to gain In fore,
by the natural sequence of events.
The objection :, IL iioted that, as the
supervision Of the mining industry,
can we'll DO left To the several states,
IL Is unnecessary to burden the gen
cral government with such u matter.
But that Is only bcgging the ques
tion. The point asserted as conceded
IL one of the things denied by the
supporters of the project. The sup
ervision aud fostering care required
by the nations greatest basic indus
try IL justly n national question aud
can bc best served by national aid.
There nrc many things that the sew.
cral sovercigntics which may make
mp this great republic can do, but
there ARE many things that none but
the national government can compass
with Justice To all, and this is one of
them. The federal power is, domi.
nnnt over all. aud when IL lays the
grcnt ncgis of it's supreme authority
over any subject. that takes on u
majesty and IL lifted To u lofty
height of industrial importance de.
MED to any thing controlled solely
by state laws, u the mining indus
try of the United States were confined
tn u few insignificant sections of our
common country; IL the interests II
represents were Of little commercial
Importance. or IL its dcstinics had
little influence on our national life:
IL II malicrcd little whether the min
ing industry lived or langiishrd.

objection might have some weight.

-bQStOn Talks Cotton

New York Dec. IA statement
by A. j. Buston was made public
on the Cotton Exchange to-day.
and in speaking OF the present
crop, he fires this at the bulls:
81 think, at the present juncture,
the cotton consumers Of the world
would do we'll to ask them
selves what has ruined the cotton
crop, that it should only reach
10, 300, 900 to 10000, 900? (the pop
ular estimate of to-day, but some
900, 900 more than Mr.. Snlly's fig.
ures.) Also, why IL it the South
has made large crops Of everything
she grows with the exception 'of
cotton? What has killed the cot
ton crop? Why does not the
staple show the damage? Why
are the bales SO heavy if it is q
short crop. Why is the seed the
best for years?
s.In my judgment this crop has
been largely killed by sentiment,
and not ny fact. Receipts a, pres
ent do point to small crop, aud It
may be that the Spectator will get
another surprise in the shape of a
lagre crop this season.
