i6 Big Stons Qap Post, B. HAYES. Business Mansiffar. THURSDAY, JAN. 11,1894. Tkrm or StTftNciumnx: ?UVwth?. . . . ,!'2 Governor Wm, it. McKim.by was inaugurated at Colombo Ohio, on the 8tb instant. There was a large civil and military parade. -:-o_* a It is the dat-y of the town council to publish in some paper an ac count of the disbursements made. They are compelled to do this by law, and in this connection'tht columns of the Post are open to the gentlemen If they desire to publish the same. FnoM all accounts Judge W. T. Miller will have practically no oppo? sition for the Circuit Judgcship, un? less the friends of Judge Morison succeed in getting him to accept a re-election. In that case, Morison will be unanimously chosen, and Judge Miller will not likely offer any opposition. -, Judge Buchanan. The many friends of Hon. IL S. K. Morison will, no doubt, be very sorry to learn that he failed to se? cure a scat on the Supreme Bench, but will be well satisfied that the honor, has fallen to Mr. Buchanan. Mr. Buchanan is a man of pro? nounced ability, and in a Judicial capacity will reflect much credit upon Virginia. Hon. John A. Buchanan, of Ab ingdon, has been appointed to the Supreme Bench. He will doubtless make an eminent judge. Judge H. S. K. Morison was defeated by a small majority, notwithstanding he is still the idol of the people whom he has so faithfully served for the pest seven years as cireuit judge. A -congressman is to be elected next fall. There is perhaps not a better man in the district for that position than Judge H. S. K. Morison.?Gate ' City Gazette. Free Coal and Iron-Ore. No one questions tho Democracy of General Ayers or Mr. Addison,but how in the world they can, as Dem? ocrats, advocate the fundamental prinefple of the Republican party is mere matter of conjecture. Protec? tion for protection's sake, was the is? sue in the last Presidential race, and the Republican party was disastrous? ly defeatod. Tho Post will not go into an exhaustive examination of this question, but will look upon it as a Democratic measure. j The Wilson Bill was framed by the ablest men in our party, and in framing it, their comprehensive .statesmanship looked beyond the yarrow confines of section, and em? braced the empire of America. 4*t*s deeply to beregietted, but for the last twenty years or more it has! been the case, that whenever one! body of leading Democrats propose a measure, let it be good or bad, aa-| other body will be found to oppose. *$%h~ is to be regretted and the cause of ft is ihjxt we have in the rsrks of | Ahe Demoeratic party either too many real statesmen or-too many genuine asses; we do not pretend to ?say which. When the thing ,is sifted to tho bottom it will be found that Repub? licans are the prime movers in this .discord, and that tho vice-president ?of the N. 6 W. R. R., Mr. W. C. ?ullftt, is busily 4??gaged in writing Setters to different people for the pur? pose of getting a strong opposition to j the Wilson Bill from the Southwest. The Norfolk & Western B. R. and its New York and Pennsylvania own ers are, no doubt, opposed to it and they save a right to be, but' the N. & W. R. R. can not speak, nor shall iiot for the people of Southwest Vir? ginia. It is said that the X. & W. Iiashuilt up Virgiuia along the line of its road. Yes, it has built it up, Suit the prime mover in this work of| industrial progress was money in tho pockets of the men who control the road, but we are drifting from the subject at hand. It was premised sn J the beginniug of this article that no discussion into the (different advan? tages ami disadvantages of levying a duty on imported coal and iron ores would be engaged in. The object of j this article is to present the question from a Democratic standpoint, aud ask in the name of Coil how can Democrats, hwnest in their convic? tions, join .hands with Republicans! and protest agaicst a Democratic! measure. If this is Democracy, then the joss of it the better. $ The World's Gold. Where doos the gold come from? It is estimated by competent author? ities that tho value of the gold ykhh i id by the world since the re-diecov-j Cjy of America by Columbus amount*- j to the nice little sum of $12,500,000, 000. The annual yield, which sprung up with a bound after the California and Australian discoveries, has varied greatly, and is now on the rise again, after somo rears of depres? sion. Thirty years ago, the annual production was $140,000,000, but now it amounts to about $100,000, 000 per annum. The chief contri? butor is the British Empire; next in importance come the United States; next comes Russia; and these three countries between them yield more than four-fifths of the gold crop. Gold is found all over the United States; in the great gold belt of Vir? ginia, in Dakota, Nevada, and, of course, in California. The latter State has fallen off greatly as a gold producer. In I880,it yielded a little over $17,500,000 worth, in 1884, the yield hau decreased to $13,600,000 worth, but California still produces more gold than any other 'State of the Union; Navada and Dakota com? ing next. In its prime, the yearly value of the California output aver? aged $45,000,000. Mexico, Bolivia and Brazil are areas iVwhich the'gold yield has de? creased. Now-a-dayi, Venezuela comes far above those States as a gold producer, its annual output be jing nearly $5,000,000 worth, Col? umbia coming next with three-quar? ters of that amount. Of the gold produced by the Brit ish Empire, the bulk is from the Colony of Victoria. Up to the end of 1889, the total Victorian yield was over 56,282,000 ounces, representing a value of over $1,125,640,000. At first, Victorian gold was purely allu? vial, but soon quartz-crushing began, and now the year's yield shows 385, 000 ounces from the reefs, as against 230,000 from, the gravels. These gravels give employment to 11,700 "alluvial miners," as against 12,400 "quartz miners/' Some of the shafts at these reef-mines go down enor? mous depths; one at Sandhurst' de? scends 2,640 feet, and there are eight others over 2,000 feet deep. New South Wales has an estimate ed auriferous area of 15,000 square miles, and up to the end of 1889, had produced a total of 10,002.355 ounc? es, valued at $188,074,435. The year's yield of 1889 was the largest in seven years, amounting to nearly 120,000 ounces. For its production, there were 4,569quartz miners work? ing 588 reefs, and 5,623 alluvial miners working 1,041 square miles of gravel; the yield from the "wash" being 2 dwts., 23 grains per ton, and the yield from the "crush" being 20 dwts.., 2 grains per ton, there being, of course, 20 dwts. to the ounce. Queensland comes third in rank of the Australian colonies a\s a gold producer. Up to the end of 1889, it had yielded a total of nearly 7,000, 000 ounces, n-orth nearly $120,000, 000. Queensland has produced but little alluvial gold, having 7,800 quartz miners as against 550 allu vials. Western Australia has several gold fields, but is as yet a land of promise. For some years past tho gov?rnm.en.t has offered a reward of $25,000 for the dajscovj&ry of a payable gold Hold within 300 miles of a da? clared port. South Australia is as yet more notable for her rich copper and silver mines than for her yield of gold, so very little morehas been done j than io"p&k?lmcycs of the reef,"but, according to a ^e^ynjoaent report, when it comes to be ft^cn^ljgcallj dealt with, miles of auriferous quartz will be worked at a handsome profit. In Tasmania gold is found widely scattered over the northern part of the inland, the richest fields being near the 1*ajja&r river. The annual production,.aeeording to ? late return, was 29,244 ounces. New Zealand has a much larger production, Up to the end of 1889, the total yeald was }1 ?625.000 ounc? es. The return^ for thajt year was 203,211 ounces, worth $4*042,745. In New Zealand, gold is sought in many ways. It is crushed for iu reefs, it is mined for hydraulically by turning the hose onto the bajiks and seams of gravel, it is dredged for in the river beds, it is washed for in the usual alluvial style, and it is sought for in "osean places" where the sea has washod up auriferous sands, duly one method of "mining" hfwf not been adopted, that of pegging1 down sheepskins and ox-hides in the streams, as is done in Brazil, Hun? gary, Ladak, and Sa^ojr, for the grains of gold to be caught in jjtej wool and hair. The "gold mines of Africa" arc much talked about, but as yet their product* have been insignificant. But there is a large amoult of gold in Africa waiting to he won. There is gold all around the coast; in Morocio, Tlrpoii, Egypt, Abyssinia, Somali Land, the East Coast, the Tranavaat field, M?sii?naland, Angola, sad ~ --?.? West Africa. India has an average export -of gold of the annual value of $1,250, 000, hardly as much as one would expect from a country of so great re? pute. Next to the Australian colonies,the bulk of British gold has gone from Canada. In British Columbia there is scarcely a stream of any impor? tance in which the "color*' of gold cannot be found. The yield from1 the commencement of operations in 1858 has exceeded in value $50,000, 000. The Cariboo district, discov? ered in 1860, has been the most pro? ductive. The Van Winkle Mine on Lightning Creek produced gold worth $15,700 in one week. The average depth is 70 feet. The gold in the bars and beaches of the Leaser river from Hope to above Alexander is very fin*, and requires working with quicksilver. In Lower Canada there are over 10,000 square miles of auriferous gravel, but the principal center of mining in the East is in Nova Scotia, which has been gradually growing less productive. In Russia, the annual yield of gold is of the estimated value of $25,000, 000, but as fhe Russian keeps his details to himself, the outsider has to be satisfied with the vaguest and general totals'. There is no doubt that during the past twenty years the Russian gold-fields have risen into considerable importance. Hungary js_ very rich in gold, which only requires to be developed. In may be remarked, for informa? tion''of the general reader, that though the ounces may be estimated at the standard rate, their value as a matter of fact varies between $15 and $20. -<*? THE PRESS. The Country's Approval. Any tariff* bill introduced by Dem? ocrats would meet with Republican opposition, and this, though a mod? erate bill in the estimation of Demo? cratic reformers, will meet with the unite! Republican opposition. All the Democratic party has to do is to stand firm, stick by Mr. Cleveland and pass tue bill. The country will sustain and approve such action. J\Tmht'ill? 4WPTfcan' Tn? business pari of f/oycrnor O'Ferrali's message sounds well and his words, coming as they do, from the abundance of a heart that loves old Virginia with a devotion that al? most amounts to }dp]a?ry, no one can doubt their sincerity .rsrrD?0ilf? Register. There iu every reason for believing that 1894 is growing to bp a bright year. The winter, only half over, may witness still further evidences of the mistaken policy that brought the country so near peril; but on every side indications appear that assure a coming period of energy, progress and prosperity.?Danville Register. $?r. S/Jart'n'e; Reception. Tjt is of course yery gratifying lo the people of Virginia to learn that hia friends and neighbors in Albc marle have tendered our new senator Mr. Martin, a reception in ft'hicl} their kind feelings for him were so distincly manifested. But as the affair has been considerably adver? tised it would have been still more gratifying to'them if there had been a larger infusion of the "foreign ele? ment." The "visiting statesmen" seem to have been almost entirely confined to our distinguished Dem 5 ocratic chairman Hon. J. Taylor Ellysou and jUIc greatly valued aide de-camp, lion^f.'S. jUarJt/piii' Thomp? son.?Richmond Times.. ' ' "* ] Low Tariff Prosperity, Between 1850 and 1860, under a low tariff, 21.600 miles of railroad were built, an increase of 230 per per cent, since 1850. From 1860 to J870 the increase in railroad con : stru?tfgn was but a little over 70 per cent., although fhe government in that period granted nitlifone of acres, of public lands and made enormous] loans to railroad companies to help! thorn huild their lines. Ono more: contrast between high tariff and low j tariff prosperity may be given. From 1850 to 1860 the number of families ,from 3>208.240 to 5,210, 934. T-jie numb^ pf separate dwel ling or home's in ''JL8?? was 4,009,592, so that in that year, after s long low tariff period, there were only 241,242 fainlji.es in all the land without sepa? rate homes.. Tben came the high tariffs, and in 18J0 there were 010 families without separate homes, an increase ef homeless families of 123 per cent, in ton years; and in 1880, after ten years more of high tariffs, there were 996,108 families without homes to call their own, a further increase of homeless families of nearly 100 per cent.?Portland Argul A Discriminating Tariff, free trade and a tariff for revenue only .are bof); impracticable. The government nceds'a'rinuilly hundreds of millions of dollars of r'eveuuc whjeit cannot be obtained exeopt under the j ojperatf on of a tariff. A discriminat | ing tariff' is jfjjaf; the country needs, or what used ^o be styled "a judicious tariff," Free trade demands that coal and iron-oie shall not be pro? tected. A tariff for revenue only demands that the highest duty ahall be laid upon* them which tbey can bear ami yet yield tho largest reve? nue. A discriminating tariff de? mands customs-duties that shall be the best for the government, for the coal and iron minors, for the rail" bad*, and for everybody. A tariff ihould not be laid witohut consider ng the fact that to destroy the coal md iron interests would be to dam? age seriously, if not irreparably, the ?ailroads. It is. the outward-bound Veight that provides the inward jound freight which keeps np the ?ailroads. To destroy one-half of his traffic Would be to destroy all of t, A discriminating tariff ,is one hing that is needed by the govem nent.?Richmond Dispatch. Tho Tariff Reform BUI. The tariff reform bill will be call id up after the holliday recess. We ;rust that it will then be pushed with mergy and decision, and especially that the partisan efforts of the minority to block the way with their maneuvers on the Hawaiian question ir any like matter will not be allow? ed to interfere with it. Tho major Ery in Congress so far has. not shown the firmness and spirit that it ought to show. Its power is quite sufficient for legislation. That power was tjiven by the people for a specific and well-understood purpose. The re? sponsibility is in proportion to the power, and if the majority does not recognize that fact the people do.? New York Times, An Important Order. The injunction order which the United States judge in Milwaukee lias just made restraining the em^ ployes of the Northern Pacific rail? road from combining and conspiring !o "quit the service of the road with or without notice served on the road with the object of crippling or em? barrassing its operation, and gener? ally from interfering with the officers ar the agents of the receivers, or {heir employee [ in any manner by actual violence, intimidating threats, or otherwise," is very similar to the order niade by f-he {United States judge in Ojiio, last summer, whfch kicked np such a rumpus in the country. It approaches perilously to the line which divides the national liberty of the citizen from invasion by despotic power, and it deserves the most careful consideration before it can be accepted an embodying any sound principles tolerated by our in> ititntions. It is essentially the province of the court of equity to prevent, by the aid of injunction, injuries to property which cannot be adequately compen? sated in damages awarded by the ver? dicts of juries. . But our institutions radjpaji'y (demand that all controver? sies between citizens or bc^w.eon the government and citizens, shall be adjusted by the verdict of juries, if that be possible. That is deemed to be the very essence of our rights and our liberties. The corollary of this is that under par theory of govern? ment the citizen may itfuysi tq per; form any service whether he has con? tracted to perform it or whether he has not, laying himself liable if he breaks his contract to pay the other party^viiaievoj,- (JamageH he lias caus? ed to that other party by his *iong fill act. as those damages may be as? certained by the verdict of a jury of twelve men, The order that tha United Spates judge has just made in Milwaukee, while entirely justified, so far as it undertakes to protect the railroad's property from violence, is in direct contravention of the most cherished principles of our laws, so far as it seeks to r?i?r&in the men from quit? ting work''at" their pleasure. The principlo in our'Iaws- which secures fco every man the right to break 'his sontract when he will, taking the :onseqnen.ces of paying for it dam? ages, is tl/e principle which jias dis tingnishfiii the AnglorSaxon in-all ' iges, and has made those parts of tho world that he inhabits the home of freedom and the nursery of the arts and sciences. We will part with every other principlo in our in? stitutions before we will give up that. It is a principle which corporated capital and monopoly look-on as their ivorst foe, and they justly so regard it. '?uji ij. h Uie principle which will prase vp our wW?tf$G9g ?s w& cher? ish it, as a manful headrerect,' :<fy&j that can look men in the face, When we consent to part with It ive shall be ready for that industrial slavery which incorporated capital nrould willingly fix upon us. VVASHINGrTON LETTER. I ( Font's ltojjglur fcocFesf)o?mGiif,f ? Washington-, Jas. 8, 189-i. Kdilnr Post: The man who enjoys termoil and jxcitements that puzzel participants is well as onlookers would have ound Washington a delightful place dncV Gongi^s came together again, ind unless atlsigns are a* faujjt, tho jompiica'tions have only 'begiin;' S'6 jody was greatly surprised when the ^ei]ijocrats failed to get their tariff up on jfc^e firsp day 0f Pie" session I because they did not have a Mmtfm >f their own mernbers, but when ?lje iame failure came Fight along daily or the next four days, with more han a quorum of Democrats known 0 be in town, aye, even in the Capi 01 building itself, then thore was a veritable sensation.and men began to isk each other, "what does it mean?" There was brft one answer. It ncant that the opposition had grown aore formidable among tho Demo rafr; than anyone had dreamed pos ible'befoie the regess. ?? On the Third day of the deadlock .'hainnan Wilson offered to do what ho Democrats had steadily refused o tip heretofore?recognize the Pop distsas a party in tfie division of iwe in the tariff discussion, jf the ^ppulists would vote to make up a. [norum. He also offered to guaranv oo that the income tax, which is fa ored by the Populists, should bo in ludetl in the tariff bill. The offer ras declined. The Populists doubt If. Wilson's ability to carry out tljo last named promise. Mr. Wilson is still confident, or apparently so, that the resolntiqn setting Jnnuarr 25th as the day upon which the final vote shall be taken will be adopted and the bill passed an that day, but that isn't the way it looks to other peo? ple. If something is not done to placate the Democratic objectors to the*bill there is no telling when a vote can be reached, as it will be ab? solutely necessary to keep-& quorum of the friends of the bill on the floor all the time, and, unless Speaker Crisp follows the example of his pre? decessor and Counts a qnorum, it will be a very difficult task. No one in Washington would be surprised at any time to see the House niles amended so as authorize the Speaker to .count a qnorum. j One result of the formidable Dem? ocratic opposition to the tariff bill is that the Ways and Means Committee I have almost definitelydecided that the income tax should bo reported to the House as a separate bill, instead of I being offered as an amendment to the tariff bill, as originally intended A member of the committee is author? ity for the statement that the most of the Democratic opposition is, as he expressed it, "hiding behind the in? come tax." If that be true they will I have to come out if that measure be put in a separate bill. - Tt was not believed that there was another big sensation in the Hawa? iian business, but the supposed con? firmation of the news that Minister Willis had officially asked the pro? visional government to step down and out to make room for the queen, I and had been officially refused, prov? ed that there was.' When the offi? cial comfirmation of this news is giv? en out there will be some stirring times in Congress. The House may get an opportuni? ty to vote on the repeal of the ten per cent, tax on state bank currency, 'notwithstanding ^hedeadlock which ! exists jn the committee on Banking and Currency. rJFhat committee has authorized a favorable report to bo made to the House on a bill intro? duced by Representative Rawley, of South Carolina, exempting from tho tax the oloaring house certificates and other circulating mediums issued be? tween August Its and October 15th, 1893. When this bill gets before the House an amendment will be offered which will repeal the law im? posing the currency tax, and its friends will endeavor to force it to a vote. More members have expressed Jtbe.niselves in opposition to the re? peal than baye advocated it, but there are so many who nave no't ex? pressed themselves either way the result of a vote is doubtful. Representative-Pendlcton, of Tex? as, has iatrodured a silver bill. It provides for (he keeping of a record for sixty days prior 'to"January }sf, 1895, of daily relative market values of gold and silver bullion in the markets of Xew Yotk and London, and that the average value thus shown shall be, tp legal ratio be: Uveen gold and silver, and that after the date mentioned the mints are fo be opened to the coinage of all bnlr lion presented in sums pf $100 pr ' more. The Senate, although Democratic by a small margin, has certainly not shown any disposition to be dicta teil toby the administration, and it is already certain that the few Senators jjrho have announced their willing? ness to champion j*y JJawaib policy will find themselves ififti* the (ig)it their lives on their hands as soon as the Senate comes together again. I The House may be willing to favor j ?hc administration hy adopting the McGreary resolution providing % an investigation of the relations of the last administration with Hawaii, without touching upon those of the present administration, but it may be set down among the certainties that an overwhelming majority of the Senate favors Senator Morgan's resolution, providing for an investi gat ion of the whole subject right up to date. This resolution has been is [known that President Cleveland dis? approves of it. The Senate commit? tee will, in fact, begin this investiga? tion this week.
