THE estimated number of Hebrews
 in the world is about 6,OOOOOO, moro
 than half of whom have their homes in
 the empires of Austra and Russia. That
 they are being persecutsd in Russia is
 vigorously denied by the Russia author itiss, and this denial is relnforcsd by the statements of ministers resident at St. Petersburg, among them being ..Minist- CT Charles Emory Smith, but the fact remains all the same that the Jews are leaving Russia in large numbers. Step niak says that 10000 Jews have come to this country this year, and that in the 6rst week of this month 1l,OOO were st Bremen awaiting transportation to Brazil. The last report on immigration from Washington shows a total immi- grafton from Russia and Poland to the United States of 47,1sl for nine months ending Sept30. Of course these are not all Jews, but the two aggregates of 4O- GOO and 47,000 are not far apart. There is deep sympathy for these e1iles in England, and meeting called by the Lord Mayer of London IS soon to be held at the Mansion House. The call for the meeting is signed by Cardinal Manning. the Archbishop of Canter- bury and many members of both houses of parliament. In spite of Russian de- nials it is difficult to believe that tho Jews are not being bitterly and griev- Ously persecuted.

A Rich Miua.

The famous St. Patrick mIne of Pima County, Arizona, which has produced so much silver in the last two years, was discovered by accident in 1888, as many others of the very rich mines have been. From the very top of the ground pure chloride of silver and sheets of metallic chloride were found. At the depth of fifty feet much sulphids of silver was found running S5 per cent in pure silver. 70 feet deep native silver ip quanti- ties was found. On the surface where a cut was being worked along the ledge one man was kept busy in picking up and sacking the metallic chloride, or morn silver" as it is called, which runs about 70 cents pure silver. Tho average or the 1irst one hundred tons of ore shipped to smelters was SIS ounces.
 Many specimens. in blocks weighing 90 to 100 pounds each and running as high as 10000 ounces per ton have been taken from the mine.
 Recently a new strike has been made on the last hill and chloride ore running at an average over 800 ounces is being taken frem it.
 The mill IS running on the chloride or free milling ore, and all ore showing much lead IS shipped, the last ship ment averaging 339 ounces in silver.- Enterprige.

THE SCARECROw OF HIGHER
 PRICES.

The promptness with which journals II
 the conspiracy to dspopularize the new
 Tariff law have acted upon the order from headquarters to insist that a gen
 eral advance in prices of manufactured
 articles will result frem it's enforcement
 has raised conflict of veracity between
 publishers and their advertising pat
 rons. While editorials are insisting
 that prices of all kinds of goods have
 advanced, merchants are paying for the
 use of the adjoining columns in which
 to set forth the fact of their willingness to supply customers at prices quite as low as have ever ruled for similar arti- cles.
 More than average temerity must ex- ist on the part of writers or less than average intelligence be credited to readers in expecting men to disregard facts so readily within reach of every one who cares to look for them. Side by side with assurances from merchants of recognized responsibility that goods can now be bought of them at prices lower than ever before, free-trade agents are repeating the stale maxim that any tariff on foreign products raises the price to consumers of all articles i'm ported and subject to duty by precisely the sum paId for such duties" and are insisting that nearly or quite the same enhanced price" has been added to all protected articles of domestic manufac- ture."
 Not only does the tree-tradsrs' conten- tion that the tariff is added to prices find refutation Tn the advertising col umns of most journals repeating that ab surdity-it finds contradiction in the &C., tions of the. principal conspirators them selves. If true that foreigners have only to add the tariff to the selling prices of their products and our people will pay the difference, why such intense interest on the part of free trade attorneys-why such enormous expenditures of effort and money to break down protected barriers? Evidently they are wanting in candog as well as consistency,
 It is ths wholesome fear Of losing | American customers by having the | wants of our people supplied from do- nestc maHufsctures-and not the fear 1 ,f higher prices-that occasions Eur 1 opean solicitude and inspires the activity | 'f importers and other free trade agents this side the Atlantic. Voters who can lot see this despite the glamor of soph- stry and clouds of misrepresentation by 1 which it is sought to have the real facts concealed, have yet lesson to learn, to which they can none too soon apply henselves

-TNK FALSE ISSUE OF HIGHER
 PRICES,

TEE wholesale lying regarding prices 2r.sortea r> by the Free Trade press be- fore slsctiou,s 5well shown b. the fol iOrins clipping. which is credited to the Sa n Francisco News Letter and was re- printed all over the country:
 The large wholessls Gouss of John V. Farwsn, of Chicago e3rother or the Illinois SsEator notifies ti2e retailers It supplies thrsgghout the cetFtry that the price of imported wool goods now costing 90 cents yard will be increased on account of the tariff to eighty-nlne' cents, and the cheaper the quality or goods the greater will be the percentage of advance in price. The increased cost of the lower grades of hosiery will be so great that it is hard to forecast, St pre- sent, what affect will be had on prices. The circular goes on to say: "Manu-l factors have already announced an ad vance of 10 per cent on domestic wool dress goods, and still greater advances are to be made on all home goods, in cludi1g wool, linen and many fanct articles. but the higher and richer grades of goods will be increased but little"
 We enclosed the clipping to Farwell & Co. and their reply, as expected, states that mo such circular was ever rssued by our house, and no recent i'm poratiops of woolsns subject to the new duty gould show such an enormous advance And yet it was by means Of such lying statements that the Free Trade press fought about the reverse of the 4th instant.

LET THERE BE NO BACK DOWN.

In view of the current talk in certain
 weak-kneed republican newspapers to
 the effect that it is tke duty of Congress this winter to modify the Mckinley tariff
 act ID the direction of lower duties, the
 Philadelphia Press very pertinently calls
 attention to the clamor that arose over
 the passage of the republican act in
 February, 1875, just after the great
 denocratic ! dsl wave of 1874. 1t said:
 From befrre the passage of that bill to the resumption of specie payments every house of representatives elected
 had democratic majority opposed to the republican plan for resumption. Q The opposition to resumption grew with every election. It was never stronger
 than in 1878. Even in Eastern states
 like Pennsylvania the democratic party
 placed itself on a gresnback platform. The clamcr against resumption came from the same states, and it was echoed in the same quarters as current opposition to the Mckinley tariff. Not v once, but for six years, and in three elections, the republican party was de feated in the house.
 The party never wavered. It remained ssteadfast in support of resumption in the fscs of alleged popular protest and revolution. It refused to accept the election of an adverse majority in the House as the verdict of the nation. The end justified this policy. The end will jGxlify the same policy of dealing with protection. The Mckinley tariff is as sailed ss resumption was. The same proposals are made to alter its settls- msnt of the fiscal year policy of the na- tion. They come from the same party, 1 they are carried forWero by like tidal l wave, and they are opposed by the same republican control of the senate and the l executive.
 All talk of modifying the Mckinley i act in accordance with democratic policy | is the shesrest nonsense. The act has 1 not yet in some of its most important | particulars gone into effect. It should | be given fair trial. This cannot be gwen in q few months nor ina year. We have perfect confidence ;hat before the next presidential campaign it will fully and abundantly justify itself. The republican party has taken its position, and when that position is once fairly un- dsrstood the people will overw helmingly endnreA it

HE acquisition of the freighting bus mess between the railroad and Globe is out a portion of the incentive to the construction of the proposed read, for the route passes over one Of the richest mineral sections of Arizona before reach ing the Gils county lire. The Mineral Creek district is completely ribbed with massIng lodges of rich ore that must eventually support . mining camp of great magnitude, and this too, in the near future. The proposed road affords an outlet for this rich district, for it passes through it's very center and touches many grand properties of which the public has heard but little, although quite extensive developments have been made. The necessity for the road Is therefore made more manifest for this reason, and it's construction must be pushed to an early completion. at all hazards. Enterprise.
