Black Hills Mining Company MakiSa

Black Hills Mining Company Makisg
Progress
No mining company was ever or
ganized in the Black Hills that has so
stirred the local people as the Black
Hills Development and Financial
Corporation, the Bunce Company. 1t
is the great absorbing topic from
Deadwood to Custer. The secretary
OF the company, F. w. Bower, has
been swamped with inquiries the past
ten days. You probably looked for
another article in this paper last week,
about the company, hut did not find
one. Mr.. Bower has been writing
answers to inquiries from prospective
stock buyers, and getting ready for the
start OF the company on April first,
when Mr. Bunce arrives. The secre-
tarys Office is, without doubt, the bust
est office in the Black Hills today
Owners OF mines all over the Hills are
coming in ard trying to get their prop
critics INTO the Bunce deal and take
stock for them. For the present ne
more properties will be taken over By
the Corpol alton. Forty is enough
This company ha, teen endorsed by
the banks, business clubs, city ane
ctanty officials and hundreds Of indi
viduals throughout the Black Hills
The Ct mpany will work forty mine'
instead OF one. There was never an
other com pany organized like this ON
in the United States. Don't wait unit
too late to buy some Of this stock.

LITTLE CAUSE FOR ALARM

A short memory is snare some
times.
The few who have critically and un-
fayorably compared Mr.. Taft with Mr..
Roosevelt in respect Of his quieting"
statement the other day about his
antitrust intentions have set a trap
for themselves. They forgot that un-
purpose Mr.. Roosevelt once announced
that he had no intention ito run
amuck among the corporations"
So, also, MIR. Taft said, Sensational
statements as If there We're to be a
new departure and an indiscriminate
prosecution of important industries
have no foundation

CAUSE OF ADVANCE
HIGH PRICES OF FOOD NOT DUE
TO TARIFF.
Foreign Demand for Our Products
Has Enormously increased--cour-
try Vastly Better OF Than
When Prices Were Low.

Talking OF the high prices of food
and the means, if any there be, to pre-
vent their going higher, it is remark
able that no one in Washington has
paid any attention to one obvious
cause of the advance which everybody
feels. An enormous quantity of our
food products is exported, chiefly to
England. and the demand abroad has
enormously increased during the past
quarter OF a century. Great Britain
during the year 1908 imported food to
the value of $1.220,0 100000. almost all
OF it for her own consumption. or
this vast amount s250,000,000 was for
meat. while the importation of wheat
was about s25,o00.0O0 less. Her i'm
portation of meats as recently as
1873 was less than 100000 hundred
weights, whilst in 1908, it reached
nearly seven times that amount. Only
during comparatively recent years
have we had any serious competition
for this great market, but lately Ar
gentine, Australia and Canada share
/ the business with us. The increase in
demand. however, has more than kept
pace with the new sources Of supply.
The price of nearly all the worlds
food, available for the world market
| is therefore fixed, not at the source OF
supply, but at the chief point of for
eign demand. 1t is not easy to see
how, under these conditions, any
| abatement or even abolition Of the tar
| in on food by this country could ap-
preciably affect the price at home;
while it is still more difficult to un-
iderstand how the tariff, high or low,
can increase the home price, since we
| import scarcely any food, especially
/ the great staples. We might get some
meat and wheat from Canada IL there
were no tariff, but not at a price less
| than that which the Canadian pro-
lsducer could get for his stuff in Eng
land, freights being equal.
1 Whatever be the cause of high
| prices it still remains true that the
country is vastly better off to-day than
it was Is years ago when prices We're
SO low that the farmer was losing
money on everything he raised, and
watAie urban populations were idle ant
could not afford to pay even the low
prices which food brought. II it could
be managed so that we could have
plenty of employment at high wages
and at the same time get all our needs
at the lowest figures, all the Difficult
ties of life would be solved. Or, il we
could sell everything we produce al
present prices, and buy everything We
need at the prices Of 1896, We should
have something like the millennium
We commend this simple problem II
reformers generally, and especially II
the statesmen at Washington who
with such sound and fury, are lookins
for the goat.

THE Yankton Herald and that
grand old democratic war horse, Editor
Bennett, would seem to be the latest
converts OF Geo. w. Egan. Egan re-
Gently spoke At Gayville and the

talents on the governorship but wanted
him to succeed Taft. Whereupon the

NEED OUR CATTLE At HOME
Under Present Conditions Germany's
Embargo Really Is of Little
Consequence.

Just at present 1t would be difficult
to incense American sentiment against
Germany's stringent sanitary regula-
tion operating against the importation
cf American cattle. Nor can we see
why our stock raisers tif they get
their market rights at home), should
excite themselves thereover.
There Is little doubt, frankly speak
ing. that at the bottom the German
inspection embargo against live cattle
is largely a sop to the agrarian or
agricultural interest which demands
protection in the home market, and
thus gets il indirectly.
In the negotiations for a tariff UNI
derstanding with Germany which
would give her the benefit of our mini
mum tariff she is evidently disposed
to stand out for her present restric-
tions, insisting that they are sanitary
regulations that apply to all imported
cattle, and therefore are not discrim
NATIVE against ours.
1t seems to be good point for oul
government to yield on. getting from
Germany return concessions else
where. Our cattle supply is below the
normal domestic demand, and Is like.
| ly to remain so for years. Why
sheaald we insist on Germany's letting
down the bars when we need all the
beef cattle we can raise and more,
| too?
| Most assuredly the point is not
worth going to tariff war over with
our very good friend and next best
| consumer--Milwau Sentinel.

Minimum for Minimum.

Senator Knox announces complete
agreement between the United States
and Germany on the tariff on the line
of his policy of securing for us the
fullest opportunity in foreign markets.
Minimum for minimum is the basic
principle of the new convention. The
matter Of maximum rates is entirely
eliminated. and there will be no dis
turbance of trade between the two
countries, as at one time was feared.
The conclusion of the negotiations
was quickened by the sincere desire
of both governments to avoid even a
temporary suspension of friendly rela-
tions, as would have been the case If
the present agreement were permitted
to expire before new one was en-
tered into.

The Richmond climax. (Richmond, Ky.) 1897-1914, 1910-06-22

All is Vanity.

Man is of few days and
many growls. When the
spring time comes, gentle
Annie, and the rain waters
the earth, he complainant be-
cause of mud, and a few weeks
later his soul is grieved be-
canse of the exceeding much
ness of the dust. In the win
ter he cryeth because it is too
cold, and in summer he would
fain join an Arctic expedition
that he may escape from the
summer heat. When the sun
shines brightly it hurteth his
eyes, and when it hideth be-
hind a cloud it gives him the
blues. When the wind blow
eth he curseth the cyclone
and when it does not blow Joy
departeth from him and be
moaneth, Oh, give us d breeze.
Yes verify. there is nothing
satisfyeth man. He
cometh iuto the world crying,
and leaveth it grumbling.
And this, too, is vanity.
