lin pounds 10 less than the con
I.ssmption Of weolens. Upon ell
raw wool tho highest protection "
receive is twelve cents pound and
the average will net exceed eight
cents, while on ,woolsas ~ pay q
high asforty-five cents pound and
An average Of more than thirty
cents; and il addition No pay ~
average advalorem duty Of 1t least
thirty.five per csntum. We get 1t
most twelve cents pound for eur
raw wool and pay forty cents for
the same wool when manufactured
into wearing apparel. and in ad-
dition "forty per oentum aa-
valorem. " For every WOODEN coat or
dress ufactured ont Of Nevada
wool Weighing one pound and val
usd At forty dollars. We receive
not exceeding twelve cents and pay
sixteen dollars and eighty cents for
tariff. But it 10 needless to multi
ply proofs. There il no room to
doubt that the protective system
il . great and absolute detri ment
to eur people, nor that Senator
Jones in supporting it violated his
trust aud benefited other people at
eur sxpeuss. But the most con-
vineing proof that Senator Jones
deserves NO credit for his course
exists in the fact that he failed II
protect the people Of Nevada il the
articles they do produce. He re-
duced tho tariff on Nevada pro-
duets and increased it on the man
ufactured articles. The duty on
wool was reduced more than ten
per osntum advaloren1 and the
duty on WOODEN cloths vas ad-
vaneed The duty On copper was
reduced from Eve to four cents and
on bo-ax from ton to fve cents per
pound
Whatever changes were made re-
lating to articles produced in tho
State of Nevada were directly
agaiast tho producer and in favor
Of the manufacturer. In no single
instance were eur people benefited
vhi2e in all respects they wsre in
jursd and in sone parti sulars a.
most ruined.
Among the industries of Nevada
which might have been benefited
by protection are lead, copper,
berax and wool.
Let ~ consider how these inter
ests were Affected by the tariff Of
1853 and whether Senator Jones de-
serves credit or censure for his con-
dust in that behalf. BY the tariff
- it existed before March, 1883,
The import daty on lead was - fol-
lows: Lead in shsets. pipes or
shst, two and three foarths cents
per pound lead ore, one and one
half cents per pound lead in pigs
md bars, two cents per pound.
BY the tariff of 1883 the import
luty on lead il a. follows 3: Lead
n sheets, pipes or shot, three
'en*s per po.nd lead ore, one
md .ene-half cents per pound
cad il pigs. 80, I've osats per |

Thns it appears No change was
made except in favor Of the man
lfactorsr.
The Aaty o. sheet and pipe lead
'hich Ne do not produce, bn5 con-
ume, was increased quarter Of
