chase of votes, prevailed in that state
as long ago as 1850. , Of Kent . and
Sussex counties he says: "A man who
sells his vote is said to 'charge for it;'
while a man who goe? to the polls
unbought, or without promise of re
ward, 'votes his sentiments.' Speak
ing of a certain exceptional citizen
in Dagsboro, a Sussex county '' man
said to me, 'He doesn't charge any
thing for bis Yote; he YOtes bis senti

The amount of perjury committed in
New York by the millionaires to es

millions, swore his down to $100,000.
It transpires that the horrible
wreck near Westfield, N. J., was, af
ter all, not the fault . of Engineer
Davis, who was killed while staying
by his post of duty. He started from
Jersey City with a leaking steam j
chest which had been. cracked for a
month or so. Between Cranford and
Westfield the front injector broke and
when he jumped up to put it back
he missed his signals. Of course, "he
assumed the risk incident to his em
ployment," the courts will say. But
people will wonder what right the
company had to compel him to use a
.defective engine
The house committee on ways and
means reported a bill the other day
to prevent the attaching of the labor
union label to packages of manufac

too sneaking and-mean for the re-J

There was no more truthful state
ment ever made than that by that
plutocratic organization that Bryan
was beaten by the capture of the daily
and weekly press and the distribution
of other literature. Today the farm
houses of America are flooded wi
papers of that sort at little or no cost
to the recipients. Give The Indepen

Students of the financial question
will be especially interested in Mr.
Van Vorhis' analysis of the United
States treasury transactions for thi
month of January. It appears that
during the month there was an in
crease of seven million dollars in the
money of every kind in circulation
(that is, outside the treasury). But
the increase in gold certificates alone
was 28 millions; hence, there must
hnve been a decrease of 21 millionsjn
other kinds of money. Thi3 decrease
Mr. Van Vorhis shows was made up
of 4 millions of silver, one of treas
ury notes of 1890, three of "green
backs" nearly seven of silver certifi
cates, and six of national bank notes,
making in all the nearly 22 millions
of decrease outside of gold certifi
cates. The point-is that the small
notes and coins ones, twos, fives, and

to some extent tens have been taken
out of circulation and they have been
replaced by gold certificates of $20
and upwards. Yet Treasurer Roberts
last December said that "the demands
of the people for notes of small de
nominations have surprised the closest
students of the currency." Then why
this jugglery? Simply to pave the
way for asset currency as the only
method of supplying the demand for
small notes. Does it require a dia
gram to prove this?
The fake about the Rockefeller tele
grams denouncing the republican trust
bills, which is said was given out by
Roosevelt himself, is the first scandal
of his administration. Even old
newspaper men like Wellman were
taken in by it. The Independent put
it down as a fake upon reading the
first dispatch concerning it. The trusts
are more deeply interested in hav
ing those bills passed than anybody
else. Unless some sort of a "mush
poltice" is applied to draw out the
popular wrath against trusts, some
thing serious might happen to them.'
An "American and European syndi
cate ha3 been formed with $600,000-
000 capital to fight the Standard Oil
tr'ipt. It has purchased large oil
fields in Colorado, Wyomnig and
Idaho. It will all amount to nothing
because Rockefeller has the railroads
on his fMe. The only way it can win
out is to join the ponulists and secure
eovprnmpnt ownership of the rail
roads. After that was accomplished
that syndicate would have a show,
but not before.
Close refine of democratic papers
shows a tendency to drop all other Is
sues and take up the old fia;ht of
twppdledee against dweedlednm in
other words, tariff for revenue only
? aeainst tariff for protection. Mr.
re Hurt's article this week on the ru
pir tariff phows that the present du
ties re reollv in line with the pre
vailing democratic idea of tariff for
revenue, being far a love the rate
necessary for protection; hence, be
ing for no other miroose primsrMv
than for revenue. And if a democratic
congress should reduce the sugar tar
iff, say one cent a pound, that the
new duties would be in line with the
republican idea of tariff for protec
tion. All of which goes to show that
the whole question is essentially one
of tweedledee and tweedledum; that
a tariff for revenue only may be real
ly a protective one, and that one
ostensibly for protection may be real
ly for revenue only; and further, that
until a tax on wealth, say an Jn
come tax, is provided neither party
can avoid applying the hated ideas of
the other.
Gold in Sight
The phrase "Gold in sight" is cap
able of translation; it must, not be
taken too literally,
A person may gaze on thousands of
tons of rock containing thousands of
dollars of gold and yet not be able to
see a speck of the precious metal.
Imagine a ton ofrock and a piece
of gold half the size of a ten dollar
gold piece being crushed and mixed
together and then reformed again to
a hard mass, obviously the gold would
be practically lost to view. Yet this
rock can be placed under the powerful
machinery of today and crushed into
sand with the magnificent discover
ies of science, in a few minutes, the
few little grains of gold are extracted.
Many streets in the great west are
paved with gold ore, out it contains
only about $2 and less to the ton, and
therefore cannot be worked at a profit
at this time, but the time is near
when onn dollar ore will be worked
at a profit.
Gold freely visible in quartz means
no guarantee of prmanencv in va'
ues. More often where the gold Is
not visible meins the richest and
mot successful mine?;.
When mines are systematically de
veloped there will alwavs be snaratd
the hieh and low grde ores. The
EVA mine has over 50.000 tons hisrh
grade ore of $10 avrae:e to the fon.
This means over half a million dol
lars of cold awitfnr to be cmsVd
in the stamp mill which hss been
nrchsffi ?n( et nnw h'Mns" shinned to
the property. The low grade $3 ore
on the EVA aggregates 521,000 tons ,
value over $1,500,00U. This is also
awaiting the stamp mill. The $2,000,
000 gold here shown constitutes what
Is in sight, that is the ore that is ex
posed by the adit tunnels and uprises
worked through the vein and the ore
now lying outside 011 the dumps. The
total quantity of gold on these dumps
can be computed with accuracy, and
also by actual measurement the
amount of ore technically In sight in
the mine itself which in the case of
the EVA is simply jnlllions.
Because of the enormous bodies of
ore blocked out on the EVA the stamp
mill when erected will be kept in
cessantly crushing the ore for 20 years
or more and with all the evidences of
further development work producing
the same results it will be found al
most Impossible to work the mine
out.
The sudden changes from derision
and persecution of new movements for
the betterment of mankind to honofv
and prestige never had a more start
ling example than in the case of the
Salvation army. A few years ago
the adherents of this movement were
stoned by the populace and arrested
by the police In almost every city of
the United States. last, week Gen
eral Booth was entertained In Wash
ington by the president and Senator
Hanna in the sime manner as the
most distinguished rulers, dip'omts
and generals, and the same honors
were paid to him.
