TO Help Monopolies.

Mr.. Butterworth remarked the other
day that he could count on his fingers
men who had made a hundred million
dollars out of tariff. Mr.. Hopkins,
another republican, said that there was
in the gallery while he was speaking
one man who would be enriched a
million dollars by the imposition of a
tax of II cents a pound on lead or
silver ore. Even republicans are
beginning to confess that the real
beneficiaries Of the high tariff are
the millionaires, not the laborers.
The tax on lead contained in silver
ore is not in the interest Of American
labor at all, but of a very small section
of American capital. 1t is destruc-
tive blow to the American labor
employed in smelling works in Texas,
