THE COPPER KING.

Big owners OF copper mines In
America long ago formed plan to get
protection for their metal and they went
on until NJ Secietan of Paris became
the copper king of the world The his.
tory of the great copper syndicate Is too
long TO relate, but the resul; of It's sue
cessful career Is as we have stated
The effect OF the syndicste's operations
has been TO raise the price Of American
copper about 81 per cent. 1t Is the
syndicate's purpose to maintain the price
and TO compel the copper and brass
manufacturers Of the world 10 come 10 VI
Secretsn In Paris for their metal The
rings agents already boast of their power
aud predict that manufacturers and con
sumers in the United States will be forced
to pay even higher prices than those
exacted in Europe.
So here we are, we poor little Ameri-
cans, with the finest copper mines in the
world, accepting the dictate Of a Paris
monopolist, and paying just what the
copper king chooses to exact. The COM
panies to whom the people consecrste the
home markets at a premium of four
cents pound for copper lin the shape of
protective tarif) deliver it all by con.
tract to the Paris copper king, and he
distributes it at his own price
Of course the protected companies got
q handsome "divy" with The pirate king
But where are the American peoples
brains that they allow themselves 10 be
represented by men that foster that sys
tenn OF piratical tribute called the protec.
tive tariff
Is not this a simple proposition easy to
understand Referring to one of these
companies the New York Times says,
"One of them with supporters who cry
out most loudly that reduction of the
copper duty would be cruel blow at tie
prosperity of great industry has
paid $S0,000,000 In dividends upon a
capital of only s2,5OO,OOO, and its shares
are selling at nearly ten times their par
value"

THE MIILINER ARTIST.
And How He Makes Angels for tho Matri-
mnnial Market.

In a recent conversation with a re-
porter, Worth, the great dressmaker Of
Paris, said Those ladies are wisest who
leave the choice entirely 10 us BY 80
doing they are always better pleased in
the end, and the reputation of the house
is sustained. Curiously enough the per-
sons who realize this fact most clearly
are precisely those whom you might
fancy The most difficult to please For
example, a telegram comes from the En-
press OF Russia Send me dinner dress
Nothing more. We are left absolute
freedom as to style and material Not
that the Empress is indifferent in the
matter Of dress. Quite the contrary. She
will sometimes require that all the ladies
costumes al a certain ball be pink or red
or blue. And her own toilets are 81
ways masterpieces Ct elegance. The
point Is that she trusts our judgment
rather than her own. In the same way,
during the last few days, we have received
over twenty kilograms from Madrid for
ball dresses, and we shall make them up
as we think best"
The Daily times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1886-1889, 1888-03-17

Messrs. II. g. Dun & Co. have stated
that the reason why American business Is
not as good as last year Is that there Is ~
uncertainty as to tariff legislation.
Now let us ask any and every sensih,e
American citizen what he thinks OF bis
representatives who do not understand as
much as the people themselves doy Do
the politicians understand that In this
age of business the inflow OF arterial
blood to make the life of the country de
ponds on fair action by The government
in material affairs'
We mean by material affairs all the
business of The people dependent Oh
legislation by Congress. No one can de-
ny that MI. Cleveland has dore his part
In pointing the way for the Democratic
majority to acquit itself Of its obligations
and fulfrl its duty. That message is all
that the aggregate intelligence Of the
country would expect when segregated
from the demagogue idea OF pleasing
everybody and begging for votes, instead
of commanding respect by proclaiming
the policy OF justice aud right.
The system of congressional govern
ment is such that an autocrat In tho
Speakers chair can dictate policy, and
tina, policy is put in the tread mill Of a
committee, and tie Speaker allows the
man on the floor, representing the COM
mittee, 20 discuss as he chooses.
The floor of the House looks like an
arena. where great questions could be
settled in fair debate; but the truth Is
that it is merely a mill where committee
work is put through hopper.
