The COST OF IMPERIALISM

Senator Hale of Maine calls attention
to the increase in the army expenses
and quotes Il signed article in the Wash
ington Post to the effect that Secretary
Taft favors an enlargement of the army
until it reaches 125, 900 men. Senator
Hale calls attention to the fact that this
years appropriation is almost one hun
dred million of dollars, and says that
the navy appropriation is increasing
also. He reminds the senate that the
building of the navy is only the begin
ming Of the expenditure. "You commit
the country to repair and maintenance, I"
he says, making necessary an increas-
ing appropriation, and if you go on we
are going to naval appropriation in
three or four years that will amount to
one hundred and fifty millions annually"
The senator says that if this program is
carried out. 1--WE will have an army
costing two hundred millions, and
nothing short of that will satisfy the
army" .. ....
What lies back of this demand for q
bigger army and a bigger navy? Fear
Of war. And what causes this fear Of
war? Our imperialistic plans. We
are to be world power" we are to
mingle in the disputes of the eastern
hemisphere and grab islands wherever
we can. We. are to demand land
wherever we think it will help our
trade, and fight for it if necessary.
The public onght to know that there is
no end to preparatian for war, for in
crease i'll our army or navy stimulates
other nations to an increase, and every
increase they make renews our activity.
Thus each nation is used to force every
other nation into an increase of arna-
nent and preparation for war - Where
is the end? 1t can he found only in the
extinction of the competing nations.
How long will the farmers consent to
bear the burden of these warlike prepara-
tons? How long will the laboring men
submit without protest? The doctrine
that peace can be made secure by this
rivalry in military and naval extraya-
gance is M contrary to reason as it is to
the spirit of our civilization and to the
ideals of Christianity. Imperialism is
poison and no limit can be set to the
spread of the disease until the poison is
expelled. --Commoner.

RECOGNITION OF
GOLDFIELD AND ITS MINES

/ around $25 n ton was useless. This not
only meant piling a vast amount of ore
on the dumps, hut it often meant the
skimming Of rich ore bodies to the
detriment of the lower grades. This
has left several of the properties in bad
condition. and has reduced the profit
that would have accrued by the treat
ment of the lower grades at the time
o. mining. Therefore, the advance in
mining facilities has very naturally
spelled more profit in mining opera
tions, and greater profit on all grades
of ore. In this respect, Goldfeld has
been placed in position nearly equal to
that of the Cripple Creek camp and
other long-established camps.
Fourth, Goldfeld has cleared away its
labor difficulties. This has been accom-
plshed not only through good manage
ment. but by reason of lower living
prices. and a greater resultant equity
in the wage scale.
Fifth, Goldfeld has progressed with
out asking the world to worry about Its
stocks. Therefore, merit, though de
layed in it's recognition, has at last
come into its own, and during the past
week. the market conditions have very
materially improved; so much so that
New York brokers, who have heretofore
concerned themselves only with a few
mining stocks, have decided that Gold
field will be one of the principal dis
tricts of recognition in the great bull
movement universally predicted to be-
gin this fall.
1t is well to bear in mind in this con-
~nection that the stocks being touted IN
New York will be listed on the large
exchanges. This has caused a dismal
howl to rise from the curb, where the
brokers are beginning to realize that
mining, formerly their own, is being
taken away from them by the regular
brokers.
Thus Goldfeld has arisen from the
desert camp, so freely ridiculed -four
years ego, to one of the principal eie-
ments of international trading. That,
as the "street' puts it, sis going

The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1908-08-08

News from New York tells of the
changing attitude of the powers in
Wall street concerning the Goldfeld
market. Time was, and not long back,
when the financial element of New
York was not favorably inclined to-
ward Goldfeld. Such preference as it
did show with regard to mining IN
doubtedly went to Cobalt.
The proposition has naturally been
one of merit. and the fact that Goldfeld
never let up on its extensive develop
ment, or in its treatment of ores, ven
during the ''hard times has placed
the big Nevada camp in the high places
of public esteem. Only a few days
since, the Record gave editorial space
to a discussion of Goldfeld's merits and
the progress of that camp. 1t is this
progress that has won recognition, and
the main facts bear repetition.
First, Goldfeld has steadily pro-
crossed from a surface camp to a pro-
Queer with depth, and instead of its be-
ing largely a prospect district, it is now
thoroughly established. From 100 to
150-foot operations, Goldfeld has
moved along to 600-foot operations, and
is steadily going deeper with larger and
richer ore bodies at depth.
Second, Goldfeld is thoroughly estab-
lished with respect to TRANSFORMATION.
having direct connection with the main
trunk lines of the southwest, and the
saving that goes with ample rail facil-
tiles.
Third, the metallurgical progress of
the district has been so pronounced that
there is no longer waste in the handling
or treatment of ore. In addition to the
several mills now in operation, Others
are being built, and still others are be-
ing added to. The Combination mill,
when it started as one of the first, is
not to be compared with the Consol-
idated mill, which, according to Senator
Nixon and George Wingfeld, will soon
be treating every ton of ore produced
in the mines of that corporation.
These additions and projections in
milling mean simply this: Under the
old order of affairs, ore that averaged

labor and materials have advanced. n
is argued against the plan that material
are lower than they were last year and
it is pointed out that the railroads had
no trouble in earning satisfactorily \
year ago even in face of high material
costs and high wages. 1t is also argued
that raising of the rates will divert
business to Canadian roads and do more
damage to the revenues of American
railways than the raising of the rates
will do good.
A bull factor in business is the in
creasing earnings of the United States
Steel Corporation, whose report, just
out. shows about $40, 0O0, 900 net profit
for the quarter.
Insiders are buying Steel and the
Steel company itself is reported to be

bodies opened in these two mines can
not be determined for some time, il
would seem to be the part of wisdom to
take profits at least to the extent OF
