PEE AOR ES ENR ~ ALL WANT PROSPERITY Cee THE CLANCY MINER: OLANOY, MONTANA. ” Senator Butler Says the Democrats are Responsible for Bryan’s ~~ Defeat. Pe 2, iy Secretary Carlisle Liable to bob up From Kentucky as a Senator. Wasarnaton, Nov. 9, ’96. (Regular Correspondence MINER.) Senator Butler makes it very plain that he thinks the populists emerged from the campaign in much better con- dition than their allies, the democrats, did. In fact, he thinks, and says that the gold democrats will mostly become republicans, and the silver democrats populists, and that the next presidential campaign will be fought between the populists and the republicans. He also says that the democrats were responsible for Bryan’s defeat. The republicans are in a state of jubil- ation over McKinley’s election, which is likely to continue until after the distrib- ution of patronage gets fully under way. Then we shal! have the kicking which is always the strikice feature of the first few months of every administration. They appear to fully realize that the re- tention of the favor of the voters who have given thém another lease of power depends upon their ability to give the country the prosperity they have prom- ised, and there is no doubt of their in- tention to do their level best in that direction. They claim that the boom in industrial and commercial circles which started as soon as the result of the. elec- tion was known will be permanent, and which the A. P. A. made itself more conspicuous than ever before, they fail of reelection. Something puzzling, isn’t it ? Treasury officials are keeping mum about the dismissal of several officials, one of them a woman, refusing te say more than that the dismissals were “for the good of the service,” but there is no doubt that the dismissals were con- nected with the actions and language, especially the latter, of the ex-officials in the campaign just now closed. They were all for Bryan and they are accused of having talked “hot stuff,” publicly and privately against Secretary Carlisle's financial policy and his attitude in the campaign. The Precious Metal Market. The Engineering and Mining Journal for the week ending Nov. 6, says : Silver has remained compartively steady since our last report. There was a disposition on the part of London to drop the price on the failure of the free- silver campaign, but as the pressure to sell was slight the market did not recede to any extent, and inquiry has stiffend the price to65 cents. The United States Assay Office in New York reports the total receipt of silver at 89,000 oz. for the week. The election is over, and there isa general feeling of relief that excitement | and uncertainty are over. The an- nouncement of the result was followed by sharp increases in the prices of stocks in New York ; since then there has been the reaction which always follows a} quick upward movement. As to general business there has not been time yet to realize the full effect. the people, regardless of their politics | are most heartily with them in hoping | that it may be. _We all want prosperity, | no matter who yéts the credit for it. 4 = | While the conferences of Gen. Fitz | Lee with President Cleveland and Sec retary Olney have raised a fresh crop of Cuban rumors, there is nothing in| sight to indicate any change of policy by this government. Some think that President Cleveland, will, in his annual | message to congress, make some positive | recommendation on the subject, but it is | more probable that he will merely state | the situation, as shown by Gen. Lee’s | report and leave the responsibility of apy action in the hands of congress, and | his successor. In the speculations as to the will-be members of President-elect McKinley's cabinet, three names of prominent re- publicaus have been already eliminated. Mr. Mark Hanna, who could doubtless have had his pick of the portfolios, took | his name off the list by making the pos- | itive statement that he would accept no | office under the coming administration; Senator Sherman’s intimate friends say that his age would prevent his accept ing either the secretaryship of the treas- | ury or of state should either be offered him, and Speaker Reed should never have been put on the list as member of the cabinet. Major McKinley would doubtless be only too glad to have the | strong personality of Speaker Reed ad- ded to his family of official advisers and | will probably tender him a place in the | cabinet, but without any idea that it} will be accepted. Even if his party did not need his services in the house, Mr. | Reed would not be likely to be in the} | |. wheat to the seabord is heavy. Only a few days have passed, and the re- covery from excitement is not yet com- plete. Another week will be required | \ ——— larger appropriation for army purposes, if adopted, than in any previous year since 1870, when with Indian wars on the frontier, and the army doing police as well as military duty in the south, the total expenses of it were $57,000,000. The United States army of the present time consists, roughly, of 14,000 infantry, 6,500 cavalry and 4,500 artillery and en- gineers, the officers of each service be- ing included. The United States owns and is’ put to no expense for the rental of various forts, barracks and encamp- ments required for military purposes. The pay of the soldiers is not on the scale of extravagance, and congress is more frugal than liberal, as a rule with army appropriations, What will become of the $52,000,000 asked for this year? What has become of the $51,000,000 expended for army purposes Jast year 2 A very little exam- ination will show just what becomes of the money. First is the item of pay, which requires $13,500,000. Next comes the item of sustenance, which is $1,600,- 000; next, clothing for the troops, $1,- 100,000 ; then the ordnance department, $1,100,000 ; then medical supplies, $140, 000 ; cavalry and artillery horses, $130,- 000 ; arsenals, $130,000, and quartermas ters’ snpplies, with other miscellaneous expenses, $3,000,000. For the mainte- nance of military posts, parks, hospitals and.cemeteries, $4,000,000 was required. The West Point Academy for tbe train- ing of future officers cost $500,000. The transportation of troops is put down at $2,500,000, and the expenses of the War Department in Washington at $100,000. All these and many otber items besides bring up the expense in thé American army to more than $50,000,000 in a year for, as said, 25,000 soldiers, and it re- quires no elaborate computation to show how great is the burden of expense abroad with the prodigious armed forces in European countries. to show just bow matters stand, and what will be the results. The money | market is not very easy yet, but there} has been some improvement ; the diffi culty in placing loans is decreasing and | commercial paper is beginning to come | out. | One effect has been to bring out some | of the gold which has been quietly hoarded. A considerable amount was exchanged for legal tenders at the New York Sub-Treasury this week, and the banks have been receiving more on de- posit. The shipments of currency from New York to the west and south con- | tinue large, while the movement of | The rates on sterling exchange are’ somewhat higher this week and the im- ports of gold will probably be checked for the present. It is believed, however, that more will come before the end of the year, unless there is 4 cessation in the outward shipments of grain, and for this no reason is apparent just now. “The effect of Republican Victory ” is ably discussed by the Hon. T. C. Platt in the opéding article of the North Am- erican Review for November. A schol- arly essay on the “ Influence of the Col- lege in America” is contributed by Pres- | dent Charles F. Thwing, D. D., of the Western Reserve University and Adel- | bert College, while “ What the Country is doing for the Farmer” is most inter- estingly stated by W.S Harwood. The| Right Rev. William Croswell Doane, | Bishop of Albany, writes of “Some La- | ter Aspects of Woman Suffrage,” and G. Norman Lieber, United States Judge | Russia bas ap army on a peace footing ingxcess of 800,000 men. Germany and Fraace follow with 560,000 each-- there is less than 3,000 difference between them—Austria with 360,000, Italy with | | 260,000. England with 190,000, and Spain, | exclusive of the army in Cuba, with 100,- 000. In fact, there is no country in Eu- rope making any pretense of having any army that does not possess a larger force on a peace footing than the United States. Even a kingdom so insignificant as Portugal has a standing army of 30,- 000, and three small countries of Europe Holland, Denmark and Belgium, have each of them more infantry soldiers than the entire United States army, rank and file. The maintenance of the Russian army costs $125,000,000, and the French and German armies cost about the same. If Great Britain had a range of moun- tains extending 600 miles from Glasgow north to Land’s End .south, which con- tained silver mines, such as the United States has how many days would it be be fore that country restored free coinage ? | Great Britain looks after every interest of her people, and she would adopt free coinage as soon as Parliament could en- act the necessary law. The United States has many times as much silver mining country as 600 miles of moun- | tains make, and she disgraces the indus- | try which populates them with towns, railroads and civilization.—Mining In- dustry.

The speakership of the house | Advocate-General, thoughtfully inquires | 17th, 1896. | isa much bigger place than the best position in the cabinet, and can be made to serve the ambition of a man who is a candidate for his party’s presidential | nomination. as Mr. Reed unquestionably | is, to a much greater extent. One of the odd features of the sena- torial situation is that, although a ma jority of the Kentucky legislature will be republicans, Secretary Carlisle is being pushed to the front as a candidate to succeed Joe Blackburn in the senate, and some of his friends speak as though they believe he will win, although they do not explain why the republicans in the Kentucky legislature being able to elect a republican senator should instead elect Mr. Carlisle. One explanation has it that Mr. Carlisle already in accord with the financial policy of the republi- cang.will join that party; ahd another that the expectation of Mr. Carlisle's friends is based upon the well-known feuds between prominent Kentucky re- publicans, which they believe will pre- vent any republican being able to com- mand a sufficient number of votes to be elected senator, and will result in the election of Mr. Carlisle as a compromise man by the votes of gold democrats’ and republicans. Not,a little comment has been caused in Washington by the defeat of the two men who were acknowledged leaders of the A. P. A. in the house—representative Linton, of Michigan and Haines of Neb- raska—during the. last session of con- gress. It was supposed that both these men owed their seat in the house to the preponderence of A. P. A. sentiment in “ What is the Justification of Martial Law?” Recent bank defalcations in various portions of the country afford a} timely opportunity for the Hon. James H. Eckels, Comptroller of the Currency, to treat the subject of “ Protection of Bank Depositors,” and “ Election Trials in Great Britain,” by the Right Hon. Sir Charles Dilke, M. P., deals with the Cor- rupt Practices Law in that land. The problem of “High Buildings” is ably considered by A. L. A. Himmelwright, and a vigorous denunciation of the “ ma- chine ” in politics is indulged in by Col. Geo. E. Warring,-Jr., in~a paper entitled “ Government by Party.” Miss I. A. Taylor furnishes an interesting disserta- tion upon “ English Epitaphs,” and “ The Animal as a Machine,” Prof. R. H. Thurston, of Cornell University, offers a most fascinating scientific study. Pub- lic attention is extensively invited to the paper on “The Plain Truth About Asiatic Labor,” by the Hon. John Bar- rett, United States Minister to Siam, & most distinguished subject. Other top- ics dealt with are: “Taxation of Church Property,” by the Rev. Madison C. Peters ; “ The Relation of Spain to Her Government,” by L. Williams, ‘and “A Defence of Our Electoral System,” by Neal Ewing. WHAT ARMIES COST. The Expense of Maintaining the United States Regular Arty. The United States army, limited by law since June, 1874, to 25,000 men, forms a very modest land force whén compared with the prodigious armies of European countries, yet its maintenance costs more than 50,000,000 a year, and the treasury their districte; yet in a campaign in Head and Peter Larson, both of Helena, Mon- tana, have this @¢ filed application for Pat- ent, under the mining laws of Congress, for East Extension Little Nell and Black Dia- mond Lode Claims, designated as Survey Nos. 4835 and 4898, situated in Lump (unorganized) mining district.
