MINING
The World’s Greatest Industry
By Wm. Sulzer,, former gov
ernor of New York.
Political Economists tell us
i that mining, next to agricuit
j ure, is the greatest industry ir
! iur Country..
< This is true from the view
point that if our soil were un
! tilled there would be little to
eat, and famine would stalk
the land.
From a financial, or mone
tary, standpoint, however, to
say nothing about relativity,
and every commodity is rela
tive to the product of the
Mines, the mining industry «j
the greatest in the World. The I
truth of this assertion becomes j
apparent when it is visualized i
that mining gives us the stand-!
ard of value, by which the j
price of almost everything pro
duced by the brain and brawn
of man is measured. Abandon
mining and the value of every
commodity would be insignifi
cant, and humanity would j
sink back to the barter and
exchange age, and financial
paralysis would lock in its
deadly grasp the industries of
mankind. It would be the
greatest calamity that ever
befell the human race, and in
less than a generation civilizat
ion would revert to barbarism,
when primitive man knew j
nothing about copper, gold,
I silver, iron, steel, lead, zinc
1 and the invaluable mineral re
sources of Mother Earth.
Those who decry mining
; are ignorant of history, or
they have ulterior purposes to
serve. If they know anything

j they must know that all busi
ness; that all industry; that all
human progress depends on
, the mines.
The wealth from the mines
from the dawn of time is the
epic of the song and story of
human advancement, of man’s
march along the paths of pro
gress.
Show me a people without
mines, and I will show you
a people deep in the mire of
poverty, and a thousand years
behind the procession of civili
zation.
It was the mines that made
the greatness of the past; that
made the ancient civilizations;
; that made Egypt great; and
| made Greece great; and made
! Rome great; and in modern
I times the mines have made
I Spain and England, and the
United States great beyond the
dreams of avarice.
Mining is essential to the ad- j
vancement of mankind, and to j
the progress of civilization, j
Mining has done more for the |
progress of the human race
than all other agencies com
bined. Mining ahs made more
poor men millionaires, in the
decades of the ages, than all
other things put together.
The Government statistics
show there has been less mon
ey lost in mining than in any
other important business in our
country. These records prove
that in mining the failures
have been less than 35 per cent j
as against more than 87 per
cent of failures in other indust-1
ries, throughout the United
States, during the past fifty
years.
More real profit has been:
made by investors in mining!
securities during the past cent-1
ury than from ony trthor Amor }
ican industry.
The Mines have offered the 1
rank and file of investors an

Investment statistics show
that profit to investors from

in the country. Next to mining
come:

Wipe out the mines and the

Strike down the miner;
