We Just throw it out as hint TO the
gentlemen who are advocating the re-
peal of the sugar duties. in order that
the American sugar trust nIay be
squelched thereby. that the Anglo
American salt trust desires repeal
of the tariff on salt Now, an Anglo
American sugar trust il just as much
OF possibility as an Apglo-American
salt trust And if an Arglo-American
sugar trust were formed it would be
Just as anxious for the repeal of the
tariff Oh sugar as the other is for repeal
of the tariff on salt
A monopoly will seek to produce at
the lowest and sell at the highest price
possible. It is formed for that end and
for no other, and as tariff would plc-
vent its importation of the cheap Ia
Dor products of Europe it would also
prevent its reduction of the wages OF
its American operatives to the Euro
pean level Consequently any trust
existing between American and for
eign dealers or producers must favor
free trade And thus we see that tariff
is at war with trusts. and that the
declaration of the Chicago platform
against trusts and combines" was
not only made in good faith but was
made as an inevitable sequence of It's
declaration in favor of protection to
American industries. Between the
American principle of protection and
the un-American system OF trusts there
is irrecozcilable war.-Chieago IntsT

LINCOLN. Neh, Aug. 23-The Prohibi-
tionists closed their State convention in
this city last night, the session lasting
two days There were about four hum
dred delegates in attendance. The con-
vention was of one mind in every thing
but the adoption of resolution in the plat
form relating to the non-partisan amend
ment league, which evoked considera-
bic discussion and some sharp personail-
ties. A plank expressing sympathy with
the movement was at length adopted.
Candidates for Supreme Judge and Re-

Hated-L P. Wigton, OF Norfolk, for the
former position and Mrs. Jennie +.

WORK WELL DONE.
Thirteen Thousand Democrats Already Re
tired to Private Life.


The rapid substitution of Republic
ans for Democrats in the fourth class
post-ofices Of the country leads even
the Observation-Disclosures and phleg-
matic-dispositioned New York World
to cry out in agony.
THE axe-wielder of the Post-Offce
Department under President Harri-
son." says the World, has removed
the heads of 13, 900 fourth-class post
masters. This exceeds by 5000 the
removals made in the same time by
the late Democratic administration.
coming into power after its party had
been prescribed from the Federal Offices
for twenty-four years"
If the intent of such statement as
this be to produce the impression that
the Republican administration is
violating any law of the Nation or
any pledge of the party, none but the
ignorant will be deceived. The fourth.
class postmasters are not appointed
for any. specified time of service, but
lat the will and pleasure of the
Postmaster-GeneraL" Their compen-
sation is chiefly a commission on
stamps cancelled on outgoing mails,
on sales of money orders and on box
rents There are so, 900 of them To-
Gated chiefly at crossroads or in small
villages. There are very few of these
postmasters who have no other bust.
ness; the vast majority of them are
store-keepers who are anxious to Sc
cure the post-offices rather for the pat
ronage that is brought to their stores
than for the emoluments of the Office.
The average earnings of the fourth
class postmasters are below $500 a
year, while in thousands of cases they
do not amount to $100 No special
knowledge or learning is necessary
for a fourth-class postmastership.
Any fairly intelligent. reliable man
can attend to its duties
There are several reasons why the
changes in tourth-class post-offices
have been rapid. Many of the Demo
cratic postmasters have resigned.
After Republican control for nearly a
quarter of century Democratic sue
cess involved the removal of many of
the offices from the central locations
where they had become almost fixtures
in the little villages. Public conven-
fence has called for their removal
back to old quarters as rule.
The bulk OF the changes has been
made, however, because the fourth
class postmasters were Democrats and
the people had voted a change to Re-
publicanism. The National Govern
ment in every little village of the land
is embodied in the post-ofice. The
mugwump is an unknown growth in
those steady and sensible communi-
ties; and the Republicans wanted,
while Democrats expected, change
in the post-office. That is the local
assurance that the people were not
joking when they elected Harrison;
that the post-ofice will no longer be a
distributing point tor free-trade
pamphlets, and whatever trade it
brings will go to Republicans.
Mr.. Clarkson has done well in re-
firing $4,000 Democrats. May he
have the entire $4,000 removed by

Helena Mining Review: A Denver dispatch
Of last week stated that the most notice.
able event in the history OF mining in Colo.
RADIO and the West, according to the iesti.
mony OF the Oldest operators Of the coun.
try, was the sale Of the Pay Rock stock
and the listing Of that mine on the board
OF the Colorado exchange. The chamber
OF commerce was crowded to suffocation,
and when the stock was called the excite
ment became intense, and before the close
OF the second call the wht le of the treasury
stock, amounting to 1000, 900 shares, was
sold to the most substantial banking and
mining men OF the state. The interest was
80 great that many ladies seated outside
OF the pit called the brokers to them and
ave orders for 1000 shares. At the close
OF the first call st. Louis brokers wired or
ders for 5000 shares, which could not be
filed. Sales Of the day were 2,1SO. 300
shares, which beats one days record on
any exchange in America.

From Gold TO Copper

Mail: The report thst the Gable com
pany have recently made a rich copper
find in their mine, which has heretofore
been supposed to contain no metal OF value
except gold, has been the cause OF consider
able excitement in mining circles in the
Georgetown district during the past week
or two. The copper lead was found at a
depth of about 100 feet from the surface
and il said to be quite extensive and carry
ing 80 per cent. copper.
This 10 not the first occurrance that has
boon known to occur in mining. The Tintic
mine, located near Provo, Utah, was first
known as a copper producer, and extern.
sive reduction works were constructed for
treating the copper ores. In a short time,
however, the company found their supply
Of copper ore becoming less, until it finally
produced 30 little that they we're obliged to
close down the reduction works. The sink
ing wal continued in the shaft and in q
short time they came in contact with a
body of silver ore, and after working on
this character for some time it also gave
out and i'm it's stead came a rich lead OF
gold ore, and the mine is at present among
the richest gold producers in Southern
