THE PLEA OF THE DEAD.

It is an interesting, though tragic, coincidence that the American Mining Congress entered its session at Pitts. burg at the very time of the fright. mines, a few miles away. Perhaps the foremost subject before the gath. ering is that of providing means to in. crease the safety of mine workers. And there is a touch of irony in the circumstance that the government rep. resep natives are present at Pittsburg to attend the dedication of the experi. mental station, whicn has been estab. lished to discover safeguards against explosions in coal mines. The one hundred or more miners, whose lives have just been sacrificed to the needs of society, will send their memories to that dedication, to plead more elo- quently than all the scientific utter. ances that may be there addressed.
 This is the time of the year when coal bills are presented to the house holder. and the average citizen under stands that comfort has its expenses. To he reminded, at the same time, that the cost of his own comfort does not cover the price of horror, is for him to wonder why he regularly burns the bodies of sufrocated miners in his home. If he does SO wonder, We doubt not that hc suggests his own willing ness, if that be necessary, to add something to his fuel outlay for the bettermcnt of the conditions under which he is benefited
 There is no other problem before the country that demands such prompt attack as this. There is scarcely any sacrifice that the nation should not make to satisfy the pleas of humanity. Not only does it fall within the pro. vince of the coal.mining states, whose representatives are in special confer. enee upon this subject during the pres. eni week, to enact effective legislative measures, but the national government should he continually urged to in. crease it's vigilance and expenditures m this direction. There is plenty of evidence that these results are to be achieved. The latest disaster will. no doubt, have the good effect of arous. ing congress again this winter and of bringing forth better laws from the state legislatures that are shortly to assemble.

spread interest in mining shares il that mining represents unpreempted opportunities, and that such invest mcnt is drawing away from the de pendent habit of entrusting ones say ings in the hands of bankers. Banks are great convenience, but it ap pears to be contrary to the American disposition to become cnslavcd to the deposit habit. when well-exercised judgment can give one safe and in dependent outlet for his money in t1e industries of the nation.
 We are passing through a period in which the corporation is commonly viewed as mystery and something quite terrible in it's aspect. The trust iy viewed with aversion, instead of with hope. The haze is rapidly pass.
 ing away, and the corporation is slow ly creeping into the hearts of the American people as benefceut in. nuence. lt may be doubted wdether this country will ever pass through another presidential campaign in which the huge corporations and the political coptributions of corporation magnates" will be made an issue. Four years can accomplish wonders in the minds of the people, and it may be expected that, within such a period, the average American will welcome the onward march of the corporation as something to be encouraged. When this is the common state of mind, in. vestments in corporations will prevail on n much larger scale than the coun. try has vet beheld. This is really something 10 look forward to. It is the prime basis of an optimistic view of the future.

 On the other hand, the use of silver in the arts was greatly stimulated by it's characterization, because the heavy decline in prices has placed silver manufactures within the reach of . vast number of people not previously able 10 enjoy them. The silver spoon is in nearly every child's mouth. Nev. crthelcss, in spite of this widening de mand, it has been possible for the white metal 10 reach the lowest price in it's history while all other commod. iiies were advancing and taking firm positions at the new high levels.
 China and India are commonly brought out as the bugbear of the silver market. as though these coun- tries were cverlastingly working against their own economic interests. A story from London k that Bombay spectators were anxious to buy up a large quantity of the white metal. and therefore the price went down by the aid of "bcar' pool. The fact that the Bombay spectators were acquir. ing an amount greatly in excess of the annual output of Cobalt, Ontario, ap- pears to be very poor explanation of n decline in price. Where are all the "bullsp Have their ihroats been cut
 The hint of speculative tactics is probably well founded, but they are not to be confined to Bombay. Poor silver is apparently expected to bear all the ills that come upon the metal markets, and its supposed friends are always missing when this happens.

WALL STREET BEARS ARE APPARENTLY

Worst Growlers Remain In Ring But Majority
 Take To Woods
(From Tuesdays Daily)

There are still bears in Wall street, but their number is steadily decreas. ing. They are beginning to see that there is absolutely nothing in under. lying conditions to warrant any sell. ing of securities. X canvass of the most conservative bankers and of the coldest Dosed representatives of the brokerage fraternity reveals the fact that there is optimism in all those places where pessimism might be nat. urally expected if there were anything whatever in the air to justify pessi mistic views. Conservative autnori. ties continue to be optimistic and bull ish both concerning business and the prices of securities.
 If men intend to borrow money and withdraw savings to buy securities now is the time to do it-never in times of prosperity and high prices.
 The Curb market has been dominat. ed by three or four stocks during the past week. Rawhidc Coalition has been easily the leader. The doubting Thomasas have been shorting tae stock all the way up, and 1t is esti. mated that there are now fully 100000 shares being "earried on margin" by short sellers who will have to go into the market and buy to make their de. liveries Co customers. It would be n pious idea for those who have bought on margin from brokers to pay up debit balances and take up their stock. This will be the best way possible to assist in the campaign now being made to put the stock to higher prices.
 Goldfeld Consolidated is justifying market wise the predictions which we have steadily made for it during the past ten months. The stock has ad. vanced steadily from $3.J0 per share to s7.75.

CANYONS ATTITUDE.

It is a mistake to suppose that Speaker Cannon and those associated with him in control of the house or. ganization are indifferent to public continent. The law of self prcserya. tien, if nothing else, would demand that they heed public sentiment wncn that sentiment is general and wellde. Ansd.
 The sentiment that now seems uni. versal demanding change in House procedure has been of slow growth and has had many ebbs and flows. During wht may be termed the form. alive period of ths sentiment Cannon and his lieutenants lave insisted that the house shoad sand pat until the ed. They have declared they were not obliged to overturn system that has been the growth of years merely because some few members of the house ar some few communities in the country at large objected to it. They also have taken the stand that present methods were the best yet devised sad nave insisted that would be re. formers produce a scheme that would assure improvement.
 It Is true that Speaker Cannon and those he has called to power are per. fectly satisfied with the present sys. tenn and do not want q change. But they recognize that if the country as whole demands change, change will nave to be made
 The question is, what shall the sub stitute be' The rcformers will have to evolve some method of procedure that will still allow the nations bus. mess to he transacted. If nasty ne tion should be taken, the house is likely to find the new condition worse than the present.

GLOBE, Dee. 2.-Deveiopments in the local copper mining situation are SO rapid as to appear almost kaliedo. scopic, and they foreshadow with req. sonable certainty one of the greatset booms in Globe ever witnessed in n western mining camp.
 Two important deals were consum. mated last week; The Live Oak mine and group of claims were bonded to II. K. Hovland. of Duluth, Minn., for sa3O,OOO. Manager NJ. E. Mccarthy of the Globe Consolidated is to start work by the new management will ba the development work on the Live Oak probably within ten days. The initial the sinking of the vertical shaft, now over 200 feet deep, and which is locat. cd within few hundred feet of the newest drill hole on the Keystone prop. erty m which sulphides have been struck. In the bottom of the Live Oak shaft, also, the porphyry is i'm. pregnated with sulphide. The expec. thtion or the purcnaser is to develop In the Live Oak the extension of the same great sulphide deposit that has been so extensively opened by the Miami Copper Company.
 The other transaction effected last week was an option taken by J. c. Hershay of Duluth, for N. A. Eaton and himself, on the property of the Arizona National Copper Company, tae Pinto Copper Mining Company and adjoining claims owned by George Bowen and o. s. Cross. The amount involved in this deal is considerably over sl,ooo,000, and the first payment Is to be made within ninety days. The company has contracted to sink two shafts, each to the depth of 500 feet or more, one on the Pinto Copper Com. pany's ground and one on the Arizona Nationals property. The expert in this deal is c. W. Pritchett of Den. yer.

A NEW FORGE IN POLITICS.

A new force in politics that is per. haps not fully recognized is the grow. ing alliance between the active fnan cial interests of the cities and the scattered investors of the country at large. That there is bond of unity between investors in public securities strengthened by the influence of cen. iralized financial government, is 6atur. ally to be expected, hut its growth and ifs effects upon political parties are not commonly considered. Evi. dence is forthcoming that the recent national campaign was affected by this very power. Wholesale abuse of corporations, which are the medium through which the new force operates. is evidently not rclished by investors, and it is noteworthy that financial authorities. both journalists and stock operators, were almost unit in de string hc defeat of Mir.

THE LOW PRICE OF SILVER.

It is remarkable. nay, notorou,
 fact, that those who profess to ex
 plain the fluctuations in the price of silver always leave the question more
 muddled than it was before. The DOW
 CTS In the market that would be sun.
 posed to possess reasonably exact in. Formation manage to display woeful degree of ignorance and uncertainty every time a pronounced rise or fall occurs in the price of the white metal. Is 1t not surprising that, in enlight. ened countries like England and the United States, where the interest in the subject is perhaps larger and broader thnn in any other portion of the world, there should be such fioun. dering in search of rational explana. tionsf The agencies of news that are in position to assemble facts, both as to the American and foreign situa. tion, seem to he very timid when it becomes their duty to pry into these matters. We hear it said that the making of the price of silver involves certain banking features, from wnich 1t Is difficult to disintricate it, while the largest factor in the market, so far as America is concerned, is not able to illumine that strange alliance for the understanding of those who produce silver.b bearing ores.
 The quotations on silver have de. clined to the lowest point in the his. tory of the metal, at least SO far as the modern world is concerned. The price for bar silver in New York touched 47h cents per ounce. The lowest previous quotation was that of December, 1902, when it was slightly above is cents. Certainly, this k an event of some importance, and one which should find real explanation. Instead, it finds only rumors and con. hicting reports. There is an air of Plausibility bout them, but they are extremely shallow.
 The worlds annual output of the white metal has varied little during twenty years. Since the practical ab- olition of it's money quality in the principal nations, the price has aver aged very close to one.half of it's so. called coinage value. which refers to the old sixteen Co one ratio between silver and gold. Characterization was sufficient to account for this reduction, but the cost of production has not lowered enough to constitute fur. ther adverse cause against the price When silver producing mines close down, not because of any disposition in their owners to speculate on TO. eovery of price, but because the mar. gin of profit is hurtfully reduced, 1t does not look as if the low. price were

CORPORATIONS AND THE
 PEOPLE

"The popular fallacy regarding the
 ownerships of corporations, writes
 Frank. Fayant in Appleton "has
 been in part due to a very natural
 misconception. The rapid growth of
 industrial trusts and railroad combin. ations in the past ten years has cen.
 tralized control, and the careless oh. server nas mistaken this for central.
 ized ownership. But the centraliza. tion of control has been accompanied by the spreading out of ownership" !"
 A corporation is human agency, and 1t is controlled and owned by human beings. IL is possible for all the corporations to be owned by all the people, although such situation Is only vaguely outlined by the pres. ent conditions, under which Mir. Fay. ant says fully 2O,OO0,OOO people have an indirect interest in great corpor. ate enterprises of the United States. This writer places the number of ne. tual stockholders at e,5Oo,O0O. The number, according to his investiga. tions, has increased rapidly during the last year, especially in taking nd. vantage of panic prices to load up with the old.line listed stocks of Wall street.
 This tendency of the people to be. come partners in the corporations owning industrial enterprises has fire. quentcly been pointed out by econo. mists, and there is a feeling that the continued development of the stock investment habit among Americans will do much toward equalizing con. ditions Some large corporations nave sought to interest their employees in their shares, to the end that these em. ployes nigh have n direct concern in the profits built upon their efforts. On the other hand, there has been a strong movement on foot for several years to draw the small savings of the people into newly-incorporated enterprises. especially to develop wealth producing capacity in those regions where the raw opportunities still exist in large nmubers, mining ventures being an instance. The explanation of the wide.
