of every government in the world.
From a valorous standpoint t b e
United States was the peer OF them
all, as was evidenced by the late war
with Spain, when the latter's fotilla
was swept out Of existence.
Getting down to local and state
matters, and speaking OF the envi-
ronments which Immediately concern
US, MIR Pittman said:
"When silver was almost dead,
and many mines were closed down;
when idle miners drifted through the
adjacent states and wages were but
So, the prospector discovered
camp whose generous wealth is mag
nifcently rewarding the patient
miner and developing the natural re-
sources of the whole state; camp
where every capitalist is miner,
and every miner a capitalist; camp
where the miners receive the best
pay in the world for eight hours
work; where the people are indus
trious, generous and law abiding.

only cloud that lowers on the horizon
is the misunderstanding between
capital and labor, and | firmly be-
lieve that the day is not far distant
when that cloud will blow away for
ever, and the sun of peace and con-
tentment shine upon us. The settle
ment OF such matters by force and
violence is no longer considered nee
essary. A strike is a horrible thing
and brings poverty, suffering and
desoation to the homes OF the work
ing people. Rights of the laborer
can be protected by the courts, and
all disputes between employer and
employee can be justly settled by ar
bitration. 'In our own
camp no such cloud exists to obscure
the bright vision of our country.
Our miners are identified with the
very life OF the camp, and its wei
fare is dear to their hearts-we now
know that the union is composed of
temperate, wise and just men, who
believe in the motto, Live and let
live, and who will maintain the ex-
isting conditions and perpetuate that
industry and justice
which have contributed so largely to
the success and greatness of our
wonderful camp"
Mr.. Pittman wound up his address
with APPROPRIATION that brought out his
full oratorical powers, and he retired
to his seat amid the deafening ap-
plause of his listeners.
