ew wears ago, during Magoon's term

few years ago, during Magoon's term
in Congress there were apprehen
sions that a material reduction might
be made in the tariff on lead and
zinc. Remonstrances against such
reduction were industriously circu-
lated throughout those counties, and
quite generally signed by the people
irrespective of party In Iowa
county leading Democrats were as
active as Republicans in the matter.
At the bank of VIM. f. Henry, we
distinctly remember, was one of
those remonstrances, and Mr.. Henry
and attaches of his bank made it a
point to invite all callers to sign. If
those circumstances could be pro-
duced to-day they would be found to
bear the names Of many who as Dem
ocrats are now loud shriekers for
free trade. Our present congress
man, being Democrat, what posi-
ton do those Democrats desire him
to occupy in relation to tariff on
lead and zinc? Do they expect him
to vote for free trade in iron, coal
and other products of sister states,
and for a tariff on our products?
And if he should do so, do they ex-
pect he will be able to save their in
terests, while opposing similar inter
ests of others? What Mr.. Jones'
views on this subject may be, we can
only surmise. If they accord with
the Democratic press of his district
he will favor practically free trade,
and to be consistent must include all
products in list for reduction to
revenue basis,-lead, zinc and wool
as well as iron, coal and articles pro-
duced or manufactured in other
states. Petitions signed by every
citizen of his district asking him to
save their special products from the
pruning knife would be Of no avail.
We do not propose to touch the
merits of the tariff question at pres
ent, but merely refer to this bit of
local history to indicate the compli-
cations of the subject, and to Illus
trate the inconsistency of those Dem
ocrats who are bowling for free
trade, and denouncing all protection
as "Republican robbery"
Through the tribune we wish to
acknowledge valuable fayors in the1
way of public documents received
by the courtesy Of Senator Cameron,
and our congressman-elect, Burr w. !
Jones. From personal acquaintance
with Mr.. Jones we feel safe in pre-
