Cote Ota me ees — ore a _made for.the return by this country to a LANCY, MONTANA. { \ | & Blow in Favor of Silver. No more forcible argument has been bimetallic standard than the threat of the English bankers to destroy the credit of this nation, if it persists in the attempt to maintain national honor, Our Eng- lish masters can well afford to press the oup of humility, filled with the dregs of dishonor, to the lips of those who, self- seekingly, have made the financial affairs of this nation dependent upon the whims and policies of European bankers.” Like sharks they have followed the ship of state, waiting for the storm that, in the distress, they might fatten and feast. Here is a nation first in resources, first in the genius of application, first in native powers, abashed by a coterie: of English Shylocks, who threaten to visit dire disaster upon it if the attempt is made to uphold a long and established national policy ; and Congress, yea, the wise (?) men of the land are compelled to counsel over the displeasures of this bled makers to furnish material well adapted for telegraphic use. The size of copper used for telegraphic lines is generally No. 9 or 10 B. and 8., weighing about 199 pounds to the mile. This would require for 10,000 miles about 760 long tons of copper—an amount not 80 important in itself, but as indicating a tendency for increased demand. Ex. Electric Ore Treatment, A New York dispatdh says that Thomas A. Edison has‘just brought to a practical conclusion his great ore-sep- arating process at the mine at Edison, near Ogden, ‘New Jersey; on which he bas been at work formany years. After overcoming obstacles that would have conquered any less presistent experimen- ter, the process bas at last been finished and the great plant is in running order. The scheme is an interesting one, in that there is no human intervention during the entire process from start to finish. When the cars of ore or rock are cabal. (dumped in large masses into the massive Is it not about time for some modern | Monroe to arise and announce a distinct- | ive American policy—one that will not entangle itself in European greed, or be | subservient to the pleasure of money sharks? In which lurks the more ven om, in which lies the greatest danger, England’s aggressions on & South Ameri can republic, or English mastery of Am erican finances? A supremacy 80 potent that national esteem,’ dignity and honor | must tremble in asserting itself. It is} gome comfort to know that the impoten- cy of the American financial system is at last about to dawn upon the nation, and even to penetrate the dense fog that has | so long enveloped the White House. Were it not for the magnitude, the seri ousness of the sithation, that plaintive cry for help by its blind habitant would | be amusing. O, Grover, how often these | silver cranks have told you so, but you would heed them not But in the bour of thy distress they will come to thee witb silver and greenbacks galore God moves in a mysterious way-—na- tions are his instruments to work for the | good of humanity. Whenever the instru- | ment becomes useless it is cast aside. This war cloud may be purposed to serve | that mysterious power that moves all | nations, all time'to work for the manifest | destiny of man, is awakening the public conscience of this people from the leth argy, the supineness, that 80 long has held them in the grasp of greed. If so, and the. subtile chains of Shylock are broken, who can say that Venezuela has | not performed well her alloted part in | advancing the tide of humanity to a) broader and freer field? Anything that will break the bonds of financial slavery | that. now holds this country to Europe may be accounted as a divine blessing. Turn on the dogs.—Tacoma Ledger. The Outlook For Copper. | Copper men are complaining of the unsatisfactory condition of the copper | market. Prices are likely to go lower It is somewhat puzzhing to understand how it is that the price of copper remains so weak in the face of a constantly de- creasing visible supply. A very good solution to the problem might be found in the manner in which most of the cop- Al) the large producers em- ploy selling agents in New York who per is sold. care more for their commissions than for the consequences attendant-upon the cutting ‘of the price in order to make a sale, thus destroying all chances of an advancing market, unless, perchance, & enormous consumptive demand springs up which would force the market up against any obstacle. Ag such a demand is of a rare occurrends, it is to be won- déred that the market has held as well as it has, and that,the price is not still lower than at present. \It is competition, without sny trust whatever, which has depressed the price of copper to its pres ent lowlevel, while viewed from a statis tical standpojnt, it ought to be selling at a much higher figure. With the ap proach of spritg the producers look for- ward to a better market, especially as to | the use for the metal in the electrical | field is continually increasing. Every new development of electricity 2 addato the demand for copper, but*it is | only of late that telegraphy has become a very important consumer, as the. ma- jority of the circuits heretofore ‘haye been of iron wire. An instance of the new demand for the metal which had hitherto been hardly suspected is found in the last report of the Western Union Telegraph Company. It is there stated that the company; during the year end- ing June, 1895, added to its wire lines a net length of 11,850 miles, and that over 10,000 miles of the new wire is in copper. Further, the company has adopted the policy of replacing all ‘defective iron wires with copper, the intention being to use that metal alone on all the principal lines hereafter. The advantages of sav- ing in weight, increased capacity for electrical transmission and diminished liability to interruption from atmospher- ic conditions, are sufficient to make the coppér wires more economical in the end, notwithstanding their greater first cost. The decision has been assisted also by the fact that the improvements in pro- cesses for drawing -eepper wire hab ena crushers, that form the first step in the process, the rest of the process is entire- ly automatic, the crushed rock and ore being carried automatically from one set of crushers to another by means of end- less belts and. bucket elevators, till the materia] is reduced to the requisite fine- ness, and then another series of belts C.

Thr sole remain ing work of construction yet to be done | is the building of rotary furnaces which shall bake the bricks as they are deliv- ered and turn them out automatically. There are no mechanical or scientific difficulties connected with this part of | the process, and these furnaces are to be built as soon as the frost is out of the ground in the spring.
