PROTECT THE LEAD INDUSTRY.

fhUIEUk 1Hb D6AU laUuSIhI.
The act OF congress approved March 81
1888, DEGREES that this duty shall be levied
upon certain foreign products: Lead
ore and lead dross, l and = cent per
pound"
Under this protection and by reason OF
it, says the Chicago Inter Ocean, the de-
velOpment Of American lead mines has
progressed marvelously. Before American
ores were protected We imported all our
lead and paid so high price for it rs to
place it out OF the reach OF all but wealthy
householders who desired plentiful and
scientific plumbing; the high price also
curtailed the extent OF It's use in other
trades and industries. The fostering in
huence OF the tariff has changed all this.
We now use more than three times as
much lead as in ante-tarif days, and we
get it at less than half the old price. Lead
mining and smelling have grown into in
dustries which represent millions upon
millions OF capital invested in western
states and territories, and which yearly
disburse millions OF dollars in wages,
There are states and Observation-Disclosures,
Wyoming, New Mexico and Idaho for
instance--in which collapse OF the lead
works would bring paralysis upon all in
dustries.
1t WAS reserved for Mr.. Cleveland's adj
ministration to attempt the accomplish
ment OF this undesirable result, and by an
evasion OF the letter and spirit of the law.
Lead ore is seldom or never found I'M
mixed with other metals. Its most fire.
quent concomitant is silver. But if ton
of crude ore should yield three parts by
weight of lead and one part by weight OF
silver reason would teach that such ore
was to be classed rs lead ore, although
the money value OF the silver produced
from it were greater than that OF the lead.
Such a classification is now made, and al
ways has been, at the assay offices Of the
United States. And such classification
was made by all secretaries Of the treas
ury who preceded those OF Mr.. Cleveland's
appointment.
Under the rules OF Mr.. Cleveland
secretaries common sense and common
justice has been outraged. An ore con-
tanning six times as much lead as silver
has been classed as silver ore, and there
fore admitted duty free. And by such
Tree admission large quantities OF ore,
really Of lead, but by Democratic ruling
OF silver, have been purchased in Mexico
and brought into the United States for
smelling Already thousands of Amer
lean miners are thrown out of work,
millions OF American capital forced into
idleness or transferred to Mexican soil,
and without the least benefit to the con-
sumner OF lead. The mining industries OF
Utah, Idaho, New Mexico, Montana and
Wyoming have been crippled and are
threatened with paralysis. 1t is to be
hoped that Sec. Window will reverse the
faulty ruling Of Sec. Fairchild and there
by secure to the really infant industries

HIGH license and local option seem ia
be on top, During the past twenty years
nearly every phase of restriction in the
liquor traffic has been tried in tie various
states and it has been fully demonstrated
that there is no such thing as successful
prohibition. The question is a very grave
one, and the recent vote OF the states clear
~ means that, as at present advised, the
best possible method OF restricting the
abuses OF the liquor traffic is by a care
fully devised and resolutely enforced
license system.

vantages. He attended Miami univer.i
sity, and afterWard 7 ale college, grad
uating from that Institution in 1851.
Upon his graduation he studied law,
first in the office of his brother, and then
in that;of Henry Stanberry, subsequently
distinguished as attorney general of the
United States under President Johnson.
Mr.. Noble settled first in ST. Louis in
1855. Not meeting with the success in
the practice of law that he expected, he
removed the following year to Keokuk,
To-, where he became prominent at the
bar.
At the breaking out of the war he en-
listed as private in the Third Iowa
Cavalry. This regiment was actively
engaged from the beginning to the
close of the war, and distinguished it
self i'm many battles, and Mr.. Noble
was steadily promoted until he became
colonel. He was in the battle of Pea
Ridge, was present at the surrender OF
Vicksburg, and took part in the cavalry
raid into Alabama and Georgia. At the
close OF the war he was promoted to a
brigadier generalship for meritorious
services. He was mustered out in 1865.
Gen. Noble was married in 1864. Two
children were born Of the marriage,
neither of whom is living. After the
war Gen. Noble settled in st. Louis,
where he was made United States dis
trict attorney by President Johnson.
He resigned his position in 1870, and
has since been engaged in the private
practice of law.
The gentleman who, it is confidently
believed, will be secretary of the inte-
rior in the Harrison cabinet. was the
particular friend of the president-elect
when they were at Miami college
together.

ELECTORAL REFORM.

Some of the legislators object to the
reform or Australian system of voting ON
account of the expense. The fact is, it
will remove some Of the burdens that
now fall upoi the few, and the party
machines. 1t will not then be neces-
sary to hire men to distribute tickets
and drag the wayward and foaters to
the polls. 1t will be no use to buy them
even with the drinks, for there can be
no assurance that they will vote the
way they drank. There will be a big
saving, too, in the tickets. Now more
than four-fifths of them are wasted, and
candidates are bled good many times
the cost of the tickets to procure them.
The state will furnish all that are
needed, and protect the sovereign in the
exercise Of his royal privilege. Men of
small means can then afford to be can
didates, and the boodlers will have
smaller chances. Probably half or
more of the legislatures in session will
adopt the system. The public demand
that the ballot shall be kept out of the
reach of the briber and corrupt poll
tician.

THE SALARY ABUSE.

1t is with no little satisfaction the
GLOBE observes the continued eyi-
dences of the rising of the tidal wave OF
retrenchment which seems likely to
sweep over the legislature. The lower
house made a good record yesterday IN
refusing to raise the salaries of some OF
the state officers, although it was made
known in one instance that the increase
had been proposed at the urgent re-
quest of the governor. For years the
GLOBE has been pegging away in an eff
fort to correct salary abuses. With the
exception of the judicial offices the sal
aries have been out of proportion to the
services rendered. A good many of the
subordinate offices were created for the
sole purpose of giving a sinecure to
some impecunious party hack, and have
been continued because they were
found useful in rewarding partisans.
In every state Office the salary is large
enough to tempt better talent than is
usually found filling them. So there is
absolutely no excuse for increasing sal
aries. The argument is all in the direc-
ton of decrease.
St. Paul daily globe., 1889-02-28
INCREASING THE TAXES.

The result Of the conference held
yesterday between the governor and the
legislative committees on finance and
ways and means was an agreement to
recommend an increase in the rate of
state taxation. 1t is true that the pro-
posed rate is only thEee-sevenths of a
mill more than the present rate, but it
is enough to attract the attention of the
taxpayers. In consideration of the
enormous eXtrayagances that are shown
to exist in the administration of state
affairs and OF the unusually tight times,
a hope had been entertained by the tax
payers or the state that this legislature
would see its way clear to reduce in
stead of increasing the rate of taxation.
1t is estimated that the proposed iu-
crease will add in the next two years
the sum of 100000 to the state reve-
nues, or lust about enough to cover the
deficiencies for the last two years. Con-
sequently the next legislature will be
called upon to make up deficit for the
two ensuing years. Thus we discover
that the proposed increase in the rate of
taxation is only device to temporarily
bridge over the straitened financial con-
dition of the state.
In our Judgment, the wiser plan for
. the legislature to pursue would be the
more business-like one of sitting down
and carefully estimating what reduc-
tions could be made in the expenses of
the state government for the next two
years without impairing the public serv-
ice, and then adding to this sum the
amount of existing deficiencies and lay
a levy sufficient to square the whole
thing. We have data at hand to show
that'the deficits could bemade good and
the expenses of the state government so
reduced as not to require aninerease of
taxation. The same data are available to
the legislature, and the members know
it. So we take it for granted that if the
proposed increase is carried into effect
it will be the result of combination
among the friends of the state institu-
tions to secure the eXtravagant appro-
DriatiOnS that are ask ed

After-Dinner Remarks at the New
York Press Club Banuuet,

New YORK, Feb. 27.-Seats were at a
premium at the annual banquet of the
New York Press club at Delmonlco's to-
night. Covers were laid for 200 guests,
and the upper floors swarmed with
men prominent in politics, the arts
and sciences. Chauncey NJ. Depew's
toast was selected at random by the
president. 1t was thought best, Col.
Cokierill said, to assign Mr.. Depew to a
subject of which he knew little, and he
therefore called upon the famous after
dinner orator to explain the difference
''between a newspaper man and jour
nalist.n Mr.. Depew frankly re-
marked at the conclusion of his
address that he had not explained the
distinction. In conclusion Mr.. Depew
said: ''In my opinion the American
journals have become large enough and
broad enough to stand upon their hind
legs and acknowledge the fact when
they have made mistake. In this
way the newspapers would soon be-
come the mirror of truth. This is not
their practice however. When that
great representative journal of the
nineteenth century (referring to the
London Times) found it had been inn
posed upon by liars, thieves and the
scum of humanity, it should have at
once, and without reservation, stood up
and admitted it,"

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The senate
to-day agreed to the conference report
on the agricultural appropriation bills,
and ordered new conference on the
army appropriation bill, and discussed
house amendments to the interstate
commerce law. Mr.. Plumb reported
back the postoffice appropriation bill.
The conference report on the agricult-

ference was ordered on the bill to
change the Eastern and Northern ju-

on fisheries, and passed. Mr.. Hawley,
from the committee Oh printing, re-
ported back substitute for the resolu-
ton as to printing the inaugural ad-
dresses of all the presidents of the
United States, and it was passed. The
house bill to remove the political diSa-
bilities of Henry A. Ramsay, of Mary
land. was passed. The senate pro-
ceeded to the consideration of the SEN
ate bill to amend the interstate law so
as to act upon the house amendment
on which the conference committee ha S,
been unable to agree. Mr.. Sherman
favored concurrence in the two house
amendments. One of these simply
made it unlawful for any common car
rier to transport refined oils, ETC., for
shippers owning tank cars. except on
oh bn
rate as for Oil transported III barrels. So
simple a proposition, he had supposed,
would have been acceded to without
question, and he was in favor of the gen.
eral principle embodied in the amend
ment, which required every railroad
company to furnish the same facilities
and modes of transportation for all
alike. He referred to the Standard Oil
company as a gigantic monopoly, that.
by the device of organization, equip
ment and absorbing outside corporations.
was enabled to crush out competition.
Mi. Stewart opposed this house amend
ment as an interference with enterprise
and organized effort, which had greatly
eheapened the price of refined Oil to the
consumers, Mr.. Reagan favored the
posing it, said it attempted to introduce
special legislation into a general act. If
enforced it would cause discrimination,
and either compel the price of transpor-
tation by tank cars to be increased, or
compel the Standard Oil company
to allow its tank cars to be used
by all shippers of Oil, and of course
the company would not do that. After
further discussion the matter went over
until tomorrow.
The senate then, at 5:55, adjourned
to meet at II a. M. tomorrow.
