THE PRODUCTION OF LEAD I'm 1855

THE PRODUCTION OF LEAD IN 1888.
The production of lead in the
United States in 1888 amounted to
lS0,555 tons of 1000 pounds-an in
crease of 100 per cent. over the pro-
duction of 1873, when it amounted
to 9l,O60 tons.
The Bureau of Statistics reports
the amounts Of lead returned by Col
lec,ors of Customs as contained in
silver.lead ore imported from Mexico
during the calendar year 1888 as
follows:
Corpus Christi, TexAs. b,029,T6t
Paso del Norte, Texas and New Mexico. 4l.647. 29l

Total.... ........ss.......... o''~'<'e'i
In the calendar year 1887 the Mex
loan imports were estimated at 10,
600 tons, SO that the greater part o
the enormous increase in 1888 Is due
to the receipts Of lead in Mexican
silver-lead ores imported duty free.

james s. Clarkson was born at
Brookville, Indiana, May II, 1912.
His education was obtained in the
district school and in his fathers
office, where at the age of seven he
began to set type. When fourteen
years of age he went to Iowa with
his parents. The nearest house to
the GARRISON homestead was thirty
FIVE miles distant. At the age of
nineteen he began teaching school in
winter, passing the summer helping
upon the farm. In 1867 he began
work as compositOr in the Iowa
State Register at Des Moines. He
rose to be editorial writer and in
time he and his brother Richard p.
ClarksOn bought the paper, which
they still own. Mr.. Clarkson has
been four times chosen as a delegate
to National Republican conventions
and twice q member of the National
committee. He was prominent in
the management of the last cam
paign. lie has a wife and three chill
dren, all boys. Mr.. Clarkson has
been appointed First Assistant Post
master General under the new adj
miniStratiOn.

BETTER 60 SLOW.

There is now a bill before the Legis-
lature proposing to prohibit the en-
ploying of persons under Is years of
age in manufacturing establishments,
and fixing ten hours as IA days labor
in such institutions. Our solons had
better go slow in this matter, for such
a law would in all probability work
great injury to the very class they
aim to benefit That many grasping
manufacturers do grind and Cypress
their operatives in a most cruel man
ner, we will not presume to deny,
but we doubt ifs such a law as is now
proposed will furnish any remedy for
the evil. A reduction in the hours
of labor will inevitably result in
corresponding reduction of wages,
and this would work greater hard
ship upon many operatives than the
extra hours of labor now does. Aside
from these considerations, this is Il
question which never can be adjusted
by Legislation. No general legisla-
ton can ever be constructed which
can apply to the various classes of
manufacturing interests, and cOnse-
quently the matter of wages and
hours of labor must always be left to
employer and employee for adjust.
ment as their mutual interests may
justify. Whenever alaborer feels that
he is not getting adequat ecomrensa-
ton for his labor, no power on earth
can withhold from him the preroga-
tive to quit his job and seek employ
ment elsewhere. Wages always have
been and always will be regulated by
the immutable law of supply and de-
mand, and no amount Of legislation
can ever force manufacturers to pay
labsrers one dollar for days work
Of ten hours, when there are Others
standing around ready and anxious
to put in eleven or twelve hours at
the same labor for ninety cents.
Regarding the other feature Of this
proposed law to prohibit employing
of persons under is years of age in
manufacturing establishments, there
is little or nothing to commend it..
1t would render destitute many fam
lilies who are dependent upon the
wages of their children under this
age in factories for support. 1t is
claimed in favor of the bill that chill.
dren should be receiving an educa-
tion up to this age. While this is
all true, it is absolutely necessary
that they should be clothed and fed
at the same time, and such a law
would cut off the only resource thou
sands ofchildren have for these neces-
sites. At present there are hundreds,
perhaps thousands, of children in this
state who labor in factories for por-
tons of the year, thus providing
themselves with food and clothing,
and enabling them to attend school
from three to six months of the year.
If their only source of income is TAX
en- from them we see no way for
their necessities to be supplied them
except by the charities Of the public.
The waste basket is about the best
disposition the Legislature can make
of this bill.

THE LOST ATLANTIS.

For many centuries there has been
a tradition of long lost island called
Atlantis.
The Greek geographers located it
in the Atlantic Ocean, west of the
northwest part of Africa and the Pill
lars of Hercules. The sea-kings Of
Atlantis are said to have invaded
Europe and Africa, and to have been
defeated by the Athenians.
All the legends agree that il was a
vast island of inexhaustible resources,
and inhabited by race of superior
people. For ages this island has ex-
listed only in legendary lore. But
now, when the light of modern re-
search is turned full upon the inves-
tigatiOn, behold the lost Atlantis at
our very doors.
So the bigoted medical fraternity
goes cropping about in the dark, seek
ing for an Atlantis or Esculapius.
when if they would investigate, they
would behold the lost Atlantis at
their very door. With their ancient
text books case of physic, paper in
their waistcoat giving them license
to practice, experiment and dose
with their injurious drugs, cauterize
and perform unnecessary acts, with
no person or laws to hold them ac-
countable, they continue their bigot
ed, unjustified practice, staring into
vacancy, and imagining that they
see in themselves an Esculapius.
Wrapped in ancient bigotry, they
are crying out against all improve
ments that have been made in medi-
cal science. They denounce any new
idea advanced by layman or an OPP
position school as fraud.
Why?
Because humanity will not be ben
Gifted? Not at all, but because their
special ism did not make the discov-
cry.
YET they concede that there is no
remedy known to their materia med
lea that will cure an advanced kid
ney malady and the diseases arising
observation-disclosures many of them
know from browning proof that War
ner's Sale Cure will-but unscrupu-
lousy treat symptoms and call them
disease, when in reality they know
they are but symptoms.
A few of the more honest physi-
clans admit that Warmers Safe Cure
is valuable remedy, and great
blessing to mankind, but say, in SO
many words, when asked why they
do not prescribe it, that they cannot,
according to their code.
Nevertheless, the world is fast be-
coming satisfied that the cure for
kidney and liver diseases, in what
ever form or condition, has been dis
covered, and there is no doubt but
what Warmers Safe Cure and its
fame will live long after such bigotry
as we have instanced is dead and
buried.
The late eminent physician and
writer, DIR. j. G. Holland, published
in "Scribner's Monthly" and show
ed his opinion of such bigotry, and
no doubt was satisfied that Atlantis
might possibly be discovered in a
proprietary medicine, when he wrote
editorially, as follows:
Nevertheless, it is a fact that
many of the best proprietary medi-
cines of the day were more successful
than many of the physicians, and
most of them, it should be remember
ed, were first discovered or used in
actual medical practice. When, how
ever,any shrewd person, knowing
their virtue, and foreseeing their pop
ularity, secures and advertises them,
then, in the opinion of the bigoted,
all virtue went out of them"

RUM0Rs ofdissentions in the new
cabinet are already comming thick
and fast from Washington. If the
newspaper reports are to be credited
the President has already had two or
three tits with Blaine, and now
report is current that Mr.. Harrison is
very anxious to get rid of his Post
master General, Wannamaker. 1t is
said that Wannamaker has very lit
tie authority in his Department, and
that his first assistant, Clarkson, is
virtually the head of the Department.
While many of these rumors are
doubtless no more than malicious
fabrications, yet it is no less fact
that all is not serene and harmonious
in the new Presidents official family.
THE city of Nashville is consider
ably agitated, judging from newspa-
per accounts, over a bill now before
the Legislature giving to that city
the same privilege which other towns
and cities of the state have, of voting
On propositions to subscribe to the
capital stock of new railroads. To
deny to the people OF Nashville this
privilege, while every other town
and city in the State has it,would look
like an implication that the people
Of Nashville are incapable of self
government. If three-fourths of the
people oil that city are in favor of
taxing themselves for the purpose of
subscribing to the capital stock of
new railroads, it seems nothing but
right and just that they should have
privilege of doing so. But with all
Of this it looks to any outsider like
Nashville capitalists are playing
rather childish part in their efforts
tie secure a competing line of railroad.
III new railroad is such desirable
thing for Nashville to have, why
don't the business men and capital
lists of that city show their faith by
going down into their pockets and
building it. The city is amply able
to build new railroad to any de-
desired point, and If they would eX-
hibit little more willingness to help
themselves they would probably find
others ready to help them with more
