Washington. Dec. 15.-DuI1ng 1908 the
United States contributed more than
one-half of the worlds production Of
copper, the exports of copper from this
country being 6lS,6lS.S42 pounds. the
largest amount recorded. These facts
are contained In report on the sub
jcct by the United States geological
survey. The domestic consumption of
copper during the year WAS 500. 100000
pounds. A notable feature of the in
dustry during the year was decrease
In the cost of production, due to I'M
proved methods and increased efficiency
OF labor.
The geological surveys report on tho
production of copper in 1905 shows that
the mino production, smelter output
and refinery production In 1908 exceeded
those of 1907. The production In 1908
by smclters from copper-bearing ma
terial mined In the United States was
942, $40 721 pounds, the largest in the his
tory of the industry. The production
in 1906. the next largest, was 17.S05.6S2
pounds; that for 1907 was 1885, 4sl
pounds.
U. S. UEADS THE WORLD.
The worlds production OF copper in
1905 was 1867 ,09S. 900 pounds. so that the
United States contributed considerably
more than half the total product OF tho
metal.
The exports of refined copper were
61s.61S.S42 pounds, the largest amount
recorded; the imports were 21S. 705,4 4S7
pounds. mostly from Mexico. Canada,
and Peru.

of old copper $4,000 900 pounds, making
the total domestic consumption 50S.
100000 pounds, against 547.000.000
pounds in 1907. The stock on hand
Jan. l. 1905 was 125 1876 pounds: on
Jan /. 1909. IT was 121.S7s,75s pounds.
The average quoted price of electro
lytic copper at New York in 1908 was
1872 cents pound. In 1907 the price |

Are Drugs Necessary?
Do Drugs Cure Disease?
Can Nature be Assisted?

II people were born right and after
wards lived right, there would Pc no
use for medicine. Every doctor knows
this. SO do other welI-iuformed people.
One thing more. When a person lives
wrongly. or acquires bodily weakness by
heredity, medicine can do only very
little. Medicine cannot cure him. Only
charlataus claim that medicines viii
cure disease. Medicines may palIiate
symptoms. Medicines may urge the
powers of Nature to resist disease. Med
icines sometimes arouse heeforts of the
human body 10 right itself against de-
rangements. This Is the most that med
feline can do.
A man accidentally puts his finger in
the fire. Insuncuvely he vets bis
finger in his mouth. then blows on it
for the cooling effect. This is no cure.
He knows it very weu. But it makes IT
feel better for the time being.
People eat uuwi-elv. This produces
dyspepsia or Indigestion. The only
rational cure is TO eat correctly. Netlf
palliative is at hand the pains of iudi-
Restion can be miusated, the throcs of

palliates disaereeable symptoms. The

PASSENGER TRAFFIC..

What has been said in regard to-
the importance Of the north and
south movement Of freights is even
more applicable to the movement
of passengers. The reduction iu
the cost Of travel, the i'm
provement i'm its comforts, as
well as the increased wealth among
the people. have made travel in the
search of health and comfort quite
as important as for the purpose Of
business. Therefore, in the quest
Of the former the traveller naturally
seeks a line carrying him to a diff
fereut climate from that Of his
home life. Certainly as a matter
of health or pleasure nothing could
be more satisfactory in the summer
than a change from the shores Of
the Gulf Of Mexico to those of the
Great lakes Of the Northwest, or I'M
winter from the shores Of the Great
Lakes to those Of the Gulf.
The management of the Mobile
and Ohio Railroad Company has
endeavored, as far as It has been
possible, to encourage and build up
this interchange Of traffic and
travel, and the result of these
efforts has been a constant and
gratifying addition to the company ;
business.

Senate Agrees to Vote on Rein

Washington, Feb. 3.-Feb % was
agreed on by the senate as the time
for a vote on the Aldrich substitute
bill for the appointment5of a court of
inquiry to inquire into the qualifica-
tions of the discharged soldiers OF
the Twenty-fifth regiment charged
with haying "shott up" Brownsville,
Tex. This agreement was preceded
by an extended discussion, during
which Senator Taliaferro of Florida
suggested that he had heard that the
war department had gathered add
tional testimony bearing on the guilt
of the negro soldiers and he thought
in view of this report the agreement
on a time to vote should be post
poned.
Senator Foraker declared that If
such information existed 1t was only
an additional reason for the creation
of a court of inquiry to hear it.
:, Senator McLaurin preferred fixing
March 1 and Mr.. Foraker suggested
Feb. Is for the vote. The 23d inst.

KIND ACT OF STEEL
" "
TRUST PROFITABLE
Said to Have Melted Immense
Sum by Merger Deal.

Washington, Feb. s.-An astound-
ing disclosure is said to be pending in
connection with the investigation of
the absorption of the Tennessee Coal
and Iron company by the United
States Steel corporation.
Copies of the last annual report of
the Tennessee company have fallen
into the hands of the members of
the senate committee on judiciary.
These reports contain the informal
tion that among the assets of the
company are approximately 700,000s,
900 tons of iron ore, valued at 81 a
ton.
The Coal and Iron company was
taken over by the Steel corporation at
a cost of $50. O00. 900. The ~transac-
ton, it was stated by G. w. Perkins
of the firm of j. P. Morgan & Co. was
entirely altruistic and was under
taken for the sole purpose of saving
certain financial interests in New
York from destruction and to stop the
panic of 1907.
This altruism, it is declared, Melted
the Steel corporation $3.50. O00,0 900
profit by the value of the ore alone, to
say nothing of the value of other ply
steal properties of the Coal and Iron
company. ~.
