The Denver Republican of a re
 cent date has the following: '"Ihe miners of Colorado now have req son to rejoice over the recent rise in the price of lead, since the orc buy CTS here have decided to advance their quotations five cents per unit for the lead in ores. Yesterdays Now York dispatches are point off, but fluctuations are to be expected. Bids were made at S4z5 and offers at S435 per one hundred pounds. A private telegram, received by prom
 trent bullion dealer of this city, asked for best terms on two carloads of bullion, to be forwarded imme- distely. The answer was returned, Have no bullion for present shiE- ment.' It is now beginning to be understood that instead of hiding bullion here, our local bullion deal CTS have bullion contracts which are yet unfulhlled. This fact will tend to give stability to the New York market, since Colorado is the largest single source of bullion supply. If bullion cannot be bought here at the present time, 1t shows that the sup posed surplus must be found else where, if found at all It may be regarded as fairly settled that lead will not descend below four cents per pound, and that the indications are very fatterIng for it remaining close to the present quotations. This will insure prosperous year to the State of Colorado, and IS just cause for congratulation." ~

HERE'S SCANDAL.
Sporting Church Members Subjects for
the Grand Jury.

PIERCE CITY, Mo, April 29.--Notwith-
standing some days have elapsed since
Dorris's circus with its train of "bunko"
men did up some of the faithful of this
city, the end is not yet The talk is now
that prominent member of the Chris
tian Church who bet his money SO
freely on the wheel of fortune,
as well as the pious members of
the Methodist Church, and the magiS-
trate who "held the forte on the wagon
and furnished the money for his friends
10 chuck the tiger" will all be remem-
bered at the sitting of the next Grand
Jury.
1t is reported that citizen who, with
his wife, is member Of the Christian
Church, attempted suicide on account of
her too intimate relations with brother
of the same faith, but it now appears
that instead of the gun being aimed at
some vital portion of the anatomy of the
injured husband it was pointed in the
direction of the erring Christian gentle
man.

House.


In the House after the transaction OF
some unmpOrtant business, on motion of
Mr.. Morrison the morning hour was dis
pensed with and the House went into
committee of the whole on the tariff bill.
Mr.. Hiscock of New York. addressed
the committee in advocacy of the protec-
ton system, and produced tables to show
that the prices of agricultural products
were higher now than they were in 1860,
and that farms were more productive
Mr. Hiscock devoted his time mostly to
statistics TO show that the tariff had kept
up the price Of agricultural products,
without increasing the cost of manufac-
tured articles.
Mr. Hurd (of Ohio said that when a
duty is laid upon imported goods it is a
tax paid first by the importer, but ulti.
mately by the consumer. When levied
for the benefit of the government, it is a
revenue tax; when for the benefit of the
producer, it is Il protective tax. He de-
MED the right of the government to sur
render the taxing power to the indi-
vidual, and the right of the individual to
exercise it. Under the protective tariff
the law made the laborer the slave of the
manufacturer. He rested his whole case
on the proposition that outside of the
necessities of the government every man
had the right to sell where he could get
the most for his production and buy
where he could do SO cheapest,
The present tariff was high pro-
tective one The effect of prote elton
to foreign commerce could only be
dcletcrous, Every hindrance to impor-
tations was an obstacle to commerce.
| More injurious still was the system to
the carrying trade. He contrasted the
| carrying trade of the country in 1857
and 1853, andIsaid the protective tariff
was directly chargeable with the result.

American shipping will make deter.

mage dues These dues turn into the
treasury about 81 100000 annually, which
really comes out of the pockets Of nro.
duccrs. Tonnage dues have been aboI.
ished by all nations except Spain. They
were abolished by the United States in
1880, and that gave an impetus that made
American shipping equal to that OF the
greatest nations. During the rebellion
tonnage dues were reimposed as A war
measure. 1t Is not contended that the
tax is burdensome to shipping, but that
the money it brings is not needed bv thc
Government, and that in time of peace il
ought to be abolished.
