NATIONAL PROSPERITY'S
TENACIOUS HOLD

The tenacity with which prosper
ity holds on and the strong promise
it gives of indefinite continuance con
stitute a feature of the political sit
uation that is not encouraging to
Democrats. So great is this prosper
ity that the most ardent of Demo-
cratic newspapers admit 1t as freely
and seem to dwell upon it with as
much pleasure as their Republican
Boston Post, remarks that such a
sharp and sudden shock as that
which demoralized the stock market
a few weeks ago should be expected
to leave scars ii not open wounds
upon the commercial situation. That
it has not done this is remarkable
testimony to the stability of the ma
terial conditions upon which rests
the prosperity o enjoyed by the
people of our country Our Boston
contemporary submits that there
has come an enforced pause in the
feverish activity which characterized
the season just passed" but, says
the Post, there is a sustaining force
holding up the operations of indus
try both in production and eX-
change This is not a good argu-
ment for free trade, and it does not
cry aloud for a revision of the tariff
based on the proposition that pro
lection is robbery" Another free
trade newspaper. the Philadelphia
Record, cites with something of ex-
ultation some statistics that are
splendid tribute to the doctrine of
protection. For example: In nine
months of the current fiscal year the
i imports have amounted to $1,065,-
900, 900, which is $152,OO0,0 900 more
| than a year ago. and $226, 900, goo
more than two years ago. But the
exports have increased not less re-
markedly. In the past nine months
: they reached a total of $1,45O, 0OO,-
900, and 1t was not till 1901 that
r the exports of an entire year reached
: such figures, and they fell below
: them in 1902 and 1903, and but lit.
b tie exceeded them in the twelve
months of 1904" Prosperity, how
ever. is not always a guarantee o.
y victory in campaigns for the part,
h in power. This country had never
been more prosperous than 1t was il
S 1892. Wages were higher than the,
y had ever been before. But that yea
Y was marked In our political annals
by a tidal wave of Democratic
triumph. What has been. may b.
e again. Washington Post.

THE NATIoN,s DRINK BILE

An editorial on 'The Nations
Drink Bill" in the current number
Of the American Grocer, says the
consumption of alcoholic beverages
in the United States reached high
water mark last year, amounting to
over 1900, 100000 gallons, or about
twenty-five gallons for each person,
including the babies. The consump-
ton of beer alone was nearly 1,7OO,-
100000 gallons, or twenty gallons
per capita.
"As all of the population are not
users of beer" says the editorial, "it
is probable that those who consume
malt liquor each use every year from
seventy-ive to 100 gallons"
The cost to the people of the
beverages used is said to have been
$1,667, 0S3,61 last year. Comment
ing on the cost the editorial says:
THE country was amazed when
the Fifty-eighth congress appropriate
ed nearly one billion dollars for the
various branches of the United States
government, while the people do moi
vince at spending nearly n and
one-half billion dollars every year
for alcoholic beverages.
"That sum is one-ffth the tota,
value of all of the farm products oi
the nation, estimated by Secretary d
Agriculture Wilson at $7,000,000,
900.
THE nations liquor bill is 81,
45O, 1000, 900; its corn crop of 1000,
600, 700 bushels is valued at $1,167,
900, 900.
The liquor bill is double tn
value of the wheat crop; more thai
twice the value of the yield of cotton
or more than the combined value o
all the wheat and cotton grown II
the United States.
THE liquor bill is two and one
!, half times greater than the value O
the hay crop"
Regarding the steady increase /
the consumption of alcoholic beN
erages in this country in receI
years, the writer of the editoris
asks:
rs this gain in the use of alec
s holic stimulants due to a stronge
/, national appetite for strong drink, c
t does the absorption of 1000, 600 TO,
!, eigners into the population ever
f year tend to enhance the demand f.
spirituous liquors?

creasing agitation on the lines of s.
d cialism, anarchy and labor disput,
S be not in a measure due to the cha

ment, but since that time the cloth
ing industry has experienced a COM
plete revolution on account of the
introduction of the factory system of
ready made clothing. This mode of
production has caused a division of
labor, which makes 1t unnecessary
for most garment workers to be skill
full artisans. The system is called
team work" A team usually con-
sists OF from three to eight men, each
Of whom is engaged on a specific part
of the garment. In the coatmakine
one man does the machine stitching
another sews ON the sleeves, while
others do the basting, buttonholt
making, pressing, and finishing.
The cattle butcher in former days
knew the butcher business In all it,
details; he must be able to kill ant
dress a bullock with the aid of one
or two helpers. At the present time
any ordinary laborer can be trained
into one of the occupations
into which the trade has been di
vided within a few weeks time. Thu
establishing of the large slaughterini
and meat packing industry has beef
the direct cause of this. 1t would b.
extremely difficult to find another in
dustry where division of labor ha
been worked out SO ingeniously. Til
animal to be butchered has been SUI
veyed and laid off like a map; tn
men have been classified in owe
forty-ive specialties and twenty rate
of wages, ranging from 16 cents t
so cents an hour.
In working ON the hide alone ther
are nine positions at eight differen
rates of pay. The sausage maker
comprise thirteen different occupa
lions and the beef boners lay claim
twenty-five.
There is hardly a trade at the pre-
ent time which requires that tn
workman be an allround and capabl
workman. One branch Of the trad
usually is all that is required of
man to entitle him to recognition
his special vocation.

CAPITAL
FOR NEVADA Mines

That old yet famous mining region
around Silver City is again in the
limelight and a great deal of quiet
development is being advanced. A
number of old properties which at
one time were recognized as great
producers have been taken over by
eastern capital and their efforts in
exploiting them are being crowned
with success.
A property in point Is that OF the
independence Mining and Milling
company, which is now being oper-
ated by Boston capital under the eff
icient management of s. ]. Flem-
ing, who is the general manager.
The old independence has a record
output Of $1,50O,OOO, most of which
was silver, but the recent disclosures
have opened up strong shoots which
are highly m~ineralized and the values
now in. sight are about t~hree-fourths
gold and the other one-fourth silver.
The funds for this purpose have been
furnished by four men.
The work now being advanced has
principally been directed toward
cleaning up and repairing the old
workings and the 3O00-foot tunnel is
now almost in shape for that agrees
sive operation which was contemplate
ed at the inception, In the face of
this drift the enormous ore body is
we'll defined and the values are suf-
ficiently high to warrant exploitation
on an extensive scale. Within the
next ninety days a vein sixty feet in
width will be cut and If the values
continue as now in sight a large 100
stamp mill will be installed, cyanide
plant, etc, in order to handle the
t large ore reserves known to exist in
this great property.
/ The management on this propert.
: has pursued an unusual yet yer!
t proper course in insuring each o
their employees againrt death and &C
cident in the sum of $4,000.
: The great mineral zone of the Com
r stock trends through the Independ
r ence and it is confidently believe'
; that depth only is necessary to en-
Y counter strong shoots of highly min
r eralized material. While the value
are sufficiently high to warrant thes
operations, occasional very rio
shoots have been encountered whic
brings the general average value Q
the ore to quite a high figure.
- Electric lights, fans, and in fact,
thoroughly equipped up-to-date eleC
trio plant has been installed and $
far as possible these operations ar
advanced by electric power. Th
wonderful gold-silver bearing depos
r on the independence has been opeI

PURCHASE WILD ROSE GROUP.

The control of the Wild Rose Min
ing company's property, situated in
the Wild Rose district, Inyo county,
California, after a thorough exami-
nation by competent engineers, has
just been purchased by a strong syn
dictate Of Boston and Providence OPP
orators, on a basis of $1,000

Los Angeles, who has just returned
from a two-months' business visit to
Boston and New York, and through
whose fundamentally this deal was
consummated, it is learned that this
company's property is %traversed by a
strong ledge, between five and six
feet in width, the ore from which
carries free gold values running
from $26 to $31 a ton. while consid-
cradle high grade ore assaying as
high as $500 a ton is found. A
quantity of rich ore has already been
sacked for shipment and will be
sent to the smelters as soon as trans
portation can be secured. The main
tunnel on the property is now in $50
feet, showing considerable ore, and
the contact not yet reached. Active
work will be resumed very soon un-
der intelligent management.
In the deal just consummated the
Wild Rose company also acquired
valuable group of claims neal
Needles, Calf, or the surface o
which rich copper ore is found
