The DUTY on Lead.

There is a light duty on foreign lead
to see abrogated. As Eureka is con-
siderable of a lead-producing place it
self, u readers may be curious to
know what the World has to say IN
the subject. We extract the following
from its issue Of October ID:
Zone of the most outrageous of the
imposts which we should like to see
eliminated from u present tariff is
the duty on lead. This article is GER
tainly not a luxury. On the contrary,
it is one Of prime necessity, and en-
tiers into the building alike of palaces
and cottages; vet class legislation has
saddled it with a duty of 2 cents, less
10 per cent. per pound, which is
equivalent to about Is per cent. on its
first cost. Is lead thus taxed because
we have the most aristocratic lead
mines in the world, which cannot
compete with the foreign pauper lead
mines?
1T is we'll known that lead can be
produced cheaper on the Pacific slope
than in any other part of the world.
This duty is maintained simply to en-
nance its value here, particularly as
the production Of lead in the United
States is at a great distance from the
densely populated centers where it is
needed, and that the duty on lead
may compensate the of lead
mines on the Pacific for the
cheaper transportation Of lead TO the
Atlantic States from Spain and Eng
land. Can there be a greater wrong,
or a more direct violation of equal
rights, than to- enact a law which
makes every house in the. land and
every pound of shot in the North,
East, and South dearer because the
lead of the country is mined far in
the West A piece of greater direct
class legislation except it is in regard
to buntlngl is not to be found in our
tariff law. 1t is by eXpunging
from our tariff such imposts a. that
which is so excessive on lead that the
World would make a tariff that shall
not be protective, and that shall pro.
duce the revenue needed For if the
object of the tariff be nothing but to
raise revenue, the more lead we i'm.
port at a duty that Just stops short of
artiticiallv protecting the production
Of lead remote from the locality Of its
principal consumption. the more mo-
ney from the duty on lead will reach
the Treasury"

Still They Come.

There are occasionally occurrences
about which every paper in the whole
country must have its say. The exc
cution of the Modocs was considered
OF sufficient importance to command
universal attention from the press.
Every days mail brings us exchanges
from far and near, all having some
thing to say editorially concerning
the execution. There is a great diver
sity of opinion as to the effect of that
Fort Klamath neck-tie party on the
balance of the red men of the coun-
try. But what we started out to saw
was this: The thing is getting monot-
onous-in fact, discouraging. For at
least a week yet we must be confront
ed by those startling headlines about
the execution of the Modocs. 1t is
getting to be an intolerable bore. We
want a rest. We know that Captain
Jack, Schonchin, Black Jim, and Bos-
ton Charley have long ago Joined the
improved order of red men," and
we are getting very tired of hearing
the story repeated.

to their people they report in favor of
Texas for cattle raising, Kansas for the
growing of fruit, and Minnesota for
the cultivation of wheat. Some of
these Mennonite agents are still wan

THE VIENNA EXHIBITION.

1HE VIENNA
NUMBER or AWARDS TO AMERICAN EXInBTOIs-
DISSATISFACTION WITH TIE RESULTS OF THE
EXHIBITION.
VIENNA, Monday, Aug Is, 1873.
OF the thirty thousand medals awarded to ex-
hbitors at the Exhibition, four hundred go to
America.
There is much dissatisfaction with the result OF
the Exhibition. tits charged that number of arti-
cles which were never entered for competition re-
ceived medals, and that several firms which had
none of their goods on exhibition were awarded d.
plomas, through manipulations of the juries.
II is alleged that those who know how the prizes
secured will attach no value to the medals Of
the Vienna Exposition.
The quantity of goods and specimens which will
be returned home from the American Department is
very small. Most of the stuff will be sold here.
The exhibitors have been leaving in crowds as
fast they could get away, since the close of the
Exposition.
The Emperor Of Austria, accompanied by bril-
liant suite visited the American Agricultural Hall
on Saturday He appeared in the uniform of

HOyt and Architect Reck, who explained the ma

mowers and reapers, and remained fully an hour,
asking many questions with reference to their uses
and whether they were exported to a large extent
lie expressed higher appreciation OF the advance

quently visited other departments

The chances Of the latter thought TO be very good

strong candidate for Judge OF the Supreme Court for
which there are i've other asprans-Messrs Ludlow Of
Philadelphia Ross of Bucks Ewell OF Columbia Ora

choice will probably lie between Mr. Elwell and Mr.
Ludlow with the chances in favor OF the former.
The Convention will be called to order by Mr.. Randall.
