Butte City.

had visited Helena before coming to
this city:

Butte is the largts st city north of
Salt Lake and between 1T. Paul and

2OOU miles long and 800 wide. It is
situated in Silver Bow county,a name
suggested to the legislature by Rev
r. DeRyckre, one Of Montana's pio-
neer priests, about five years ago
when the new county was formed of
Deer Lodge county. Butte City is at

lists in the mines which constitute In
the aggregate the greatest silver and
copper producers ever discovered, the
assessment of which amount to more
than $1,000, 0GO. The quite district
counts ABOUT 700 locations. Of which
100 are fairly devt loped. 1t contains
eight quartz mills with q crushing:
capacity of 1928 tons per day, four
shelters with q combined daily ca
pacity of over 500 tons, and four con-
centrators with 600 tons capacity. In
1875 the first mill was constructed
for working the silver ores ; then the
population did not exceed 200.

''The impression Is abroad that
Speaker Carlisle and Mr.. Waiter
son, OF the Courier-Journal, ref ct
the views OF each other, or, in 0liI-
er words, that what one says is in
dorsed by the other. The Eastern
press, especially the New York Sun,
has created this impression. Al is
without foundation. These gentle
men do not often meet, AMI there Is
little correspondence by letter be-
tween them. They probably differ
as widely on some questions of poll
icy as any other two members OF
the Democratic party.

of these gentlemen, Is preliminary
TO the statement that Mr.. Carlisle
does not approve of Mr.. Waiter

Samuel ]. Randall.
Springfield Record.

This distinguished Democrat and
statesman, has during the Christ
mas holidays been visiting the
South; he visited Nashville and
Chattanooga in this State, and Bir-
minghan in Alabama, and Louis
willie, Ky. AT each of these places,
Mr.. Randall in hIs speeches, took
occasion to discuss the much vexed
question of the tariff. He made a
speech in Nashville which we read
with the greatest care, and portions
of it we have read the second and
third times and after the fullest
reflection we do not hesitate to say,
that IL that speech reflects his views
on the subject OF Federal taxation,
we DO most emphatically agree
with him i'm toto. His first propo-
sition is, that this government has
no constitutional power to levy and
collect from the people one dime
more, than ia actually needed to
carry on the COVER iment, economi-
cally administered. This exciuies
and so said Mr.. Randall-alt pow
er to levy any kind of tax, for the
purpose OF protection. His second
position was that the internal reve-
nue. tax, was unDemocratic and in-
consistent, with the plain and SIM
pie ideas OF Democratic govern
nent, and only to be justified by
the exingencies OF war; and that il
ought to be abolished, especially as
the government confessediy does
not need the money. His third posi-
tion was. that all Federal taxation
should be derived from custom
house dues, or what is the same, a
tariff levied upon foreign Imports.
lions; and in leyying this tariff,
Congress should so arrange ii, as TO
discriminate in favor of our home
industries and labOring classes, so
as to protect them, against foreign /
composition, ami especially that of
Great Britain, this we believe TO be
a fair statement of the gentleman's
speech; and If so, as before said we
are in full accord with him, and so
are at least half, II not more than
half, Of the people OF Tennessee.
Ii is difficult to sceOunt upon any
rationai idea for the uncalled for
and illtimed assault of the Lous-
vile Courier-Journas, and the
Nashville Wcrld upon Mr.. Randall,
He Is as pure man as is in the
Democratic party; he Is an ac-
knOwledged statesman, and the
South owes him more than ii does
any living man to day, for the free
dom its CITIZENS enjoy. And yet to
read these papers, one would think
that he was not only a william, but
meaner than the rneanest of the
carpet baggers. and that our people
should not only, not extend him de-
cent hospitality. but treat him as a
highwayman. We have been both
panied and disgusted that a news
paper published In the South,
should so misrepresent our people
and their hospitality. Mr.. Randall
however has sense enough to know,
that the CT. and its piping imita-
tor, did not represent the sentiment.
of the people in this part Of the
vineyard. We hope sincerely that
he will take occasion TO come among
Us again, when we will welcome
him as our political leader, states
man, and friend. 81

Free Raw Materials. = -
baltimore Mnnnfactnrer,s Recora.

A
The suggestion of Secretary Me.
Cull0ugh regarding the removal oi
duties on free raw material Is in
keeping with the efforts OF those
who, while desiring protection for
their own business, are seeking 10
gain their raw material freeOt duty,
thus unwilling to permit others TO
enjoy the benefits OF that protection
which they feel is essential to their
success, 10 make sach raw mate
rial rs iron ore, coal, DC, free of
duty, would be a very severe blow
directly at the industrial interests OF
the SOUTH Ia section which, in our
opinion, needs a protective tariff
more than any other part of the
country. The South is rich in raw
material her mines of iron ore
and coal are almost, If not quite,
inexhaustabIe. and she is making
good progress ia utilizing this great
natural wealth, but il she is denied
the benefit OF a protective tariff,
her vast resources must remain un-
developed. n s 9g3 t sii
ii Is mistake to suppose that the
advantages possessed by the South
Tor iron making are so great that
she needs no protection, or to fmag-l
lue that hecause Southern furnaces
have marketed about 100, 900 tons
OF pig iron IN the North this year,
that they can successfully and per-
manently compete in the North
with Northern furnaces. The South, !,
or tleast some portion af it, can
undoubtedly make pig iron at a
very low price, but not at such
price as to make 1t very profitable
TO ship the iron North at an ex-
pense of, $4@5 a ton. We regret to
see Soulnern pig iron seeking
market In the North, for there is
but little profit in the business, and
how much better ii would be II
there were sufficient diversified i'm
dustries in the South to consume
the pig iron made there, Then
there would be good profit to the
furnaces, for the o. or $5 a ton now
paid as freight would be saved, or
at least most of it, and the factories
and fOundries using pig iron as a
raw material would be able 10 pro-
duce at a very low cost the machin- |
ry, agricultural implements, nail
&c. needed in the South. The
building up Of these industries. can
all be gradually accomplished under
a wise protective tariff, covering
raw materials as our tariff does
now; but, ii the duty on these is
abolished and foreign ore permitted
to come in free, the South will find
itself very seriously handicapped in
the development OF its great re-
sources. rN ttal 70 Il e,..ss..i
