THE SUMPTER MINER
1?
a triumph, but be is a captain of all
industry who can supply the means
through the forces of nature to pay
for all this wonderful advancement
of American enterprise, and tho
Black Hills and their surroundings,
of the great commonwealth of South
Dakota, can honestly lay claim to
being at least ouo of theso great
Americau captains of industry.
The hour for earnest, sober second
thought is here, and, In the light of
positive faots as we seo them, is it
not time, in tho interest of tho
people, to treat this great question
of mining from a statesman's and
cot a politician's point of view?
Is it not wise, especially at this time
when so muob depends upon the
protection of the rights of the many
as against the selfish demands of
a few, that our nation's great
industry, mining, should bo rcog
nized, not as tho tar bucket hauging
to the tail end of a wagon, but as
the wagon Itself, and our ropresenta-'
tlves at Washington bo advised not
by a fow, but by all tho people, that
It Is thoir wish that a federal
departmment of mines and mining
bo at onco created by them, with a
secretary who shall bo a mombor of
tho president's cabinet?
In a short tlmo from now tho
American Mining Congress will con
vene in the cities of Deadwood and
Lead. This organization Is aiming
to do for the mining industry of tho
entire country what the agricultural
department at Washington has done
for agriculture, the commercial
museum of Philadelphia for com
merce, trade and manufacture, the
Southern Industrial association for
the progress of southern advancement;
and again, what the manufacturing
interests of America will shortly do
to strengthen and Incroaso thoir
industry by establishing In the city
of New York a great permanent
exhibition of all the manufactured
products of the United States.
Think of it, through the products of
our mines, strengthened by the
enthusiastic Interest of the man
ufacturer in bis Industry, has the
American manufacturer been already
enabled to establish an industry pro
ducing a revenue nearly ten times
greater than the authorized capitaliza
tion of the greatest corporation on
earth, the United States Steel
corporation, and it represents the
actual value of the states of New
York and Pennsylvania combined.
Don't you believe It is time for the
producers of raw material to manifest
some little enthusiasm for this in
dustry? Here In South Dakota there Is
ample room for the safe and most
profitable investment of millions of
dollars. There are acres upon acres
of virgin mineral and agriculture, as
well as timber and grazing lands, but
before the good people of the state
can realize fully what nature has
done for them, or enjoy upon the
broad plain of prosperity, as Qod
Intended they should do, the yet
untold blessings with which they are
surrounded on every side. It is true
they must work for it, aud each one
must do a man's work, aud united,
harmonious actiou must be the
watchword. Tho good things of this
life are not gathered in without a
prlco. It is seldom we ever honestly
secure anything of real value
without paying for it. Wo may think
mo do, but wait, nature's laws nre
never disregarded with Impunity.
Tho deslro for metalic wealth is
the one great iucontlvo to all prog
ress, and no mau, I caro not what
his profession, business or calllug
in life may be, can truthfully say,
"I am not engaged In mining, and
am therefore not Interested in its
success," or the success of any
Institution organized in its interests.
You are interested, vitally interested.
Was it not the discovery aud de
velopment of tho wonderful niiuoral
wealth of tho Mack Hills of South
Dakota that established erery busi
ness houso, every bank, every hotol
aud evory railroad now located in
Deadwood aud Load? What would
bocomo of theso industries, aud what
would become of muny of you, if
those hills woro to rofuso longer to
produce thoir mineral wealth?
Iu thU twoutloth century wo must
respoud, and rospoud actively aud
cherfullly, to tho government of
truth in all tho activities of life,
and unless wo do, our bewildered
souses and indifforoncos may causo
us to linger long, gazing at lost
oportunltles, with nothing before us
but a gathering darknoss, with tho
light of truth shining full iu our
faces. We must live in tho now,
and live in it at our very host;
the work of tho world Is done by a
few.
It was the discovery of iron and
its uses that made an advauco iu
civilization practicable for our
ancestors thousands of years ago. It
was the discovery of the precious
metals in America that drove the
oloud of the dark ages from Europe
by the impulse it ga7e to commerce
and industry, and, still later, it was
the discovery of gold In California
and Australia that saved the civiliza
tion of Europe and the United States
from sinking into a lethargy like
that which preceded the decline
and fall of. the Roman empire.
I have more than once proclaimed,
and now I repeat, there Is not a
mountain tunneled nor a river bridg
ed, nor a highway on the plains, there
Is no't a sail specks the sea, nor a
oloud of smoke that seeks the.sky ;
there is not a motion of a wheel,
nor the clatter of a spindle, nor the
stroke of a hammer; there is not
a book that gladdens and instructs,
nor a dome that lifts Its beauty to
the sky, but is the outspeaking of
the mining industry, and when we
become Indifferent to the success of
this Industry, refuse to give it our
best allegiance, we defile our nest,
are retrograding and not advancing
In the paths of a greater and nobler
civilization.
