The Tariff on Lead Ores.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Dec. 26.-[Special.
IL have talked with President Harrison
on the recent decision of Secretary Win
dom allowing lead ores in combination
with silver to come into the country free
of duty and he agrees that it is worng. He
does feel. however, like breaking over the
precedents of allowing the decision of
the secretary to stand" These were the
words of Representative Bartine of Ne
vada, before the house committee on ways
and means tonight. Congressman Carter,
of Montana, spoke for more than an hour
on the subject of tariff for lead ores. Mr..
Wilson of Washington, was there to argue
in favor of the present rates on coal. Mr..
Carter reviewed the tariff measures affect
ing lead ore; also the duty that was first
placed OF lead ores in 1862. In 1867 the
smelling of argentierous lead ores began
in the Rocky mountain states and the in
dustry has developed to such an extent that
to-day over 80 per cent. of the lead pro-
duct of the country comes from these ores.
The continuance of mining and smelling
IN these states are dependent upon the
of the ores under the treasury rulings,
which let the ores from Mexica to this
country free of duty. The Importation
had increased to 10000 tons of pure lead
in 1888. This has been sufficient to de.
prive the mines of the west Of the profits
on the lead in the ore, thereby endanger-
ing the continued production OF both lead
and silver in the west and northwest.

An Attack on Senator Pierce.

WASHINGTON, Dec. John
Mcdowell, of Nelson county, North Da-
kota, through this mornings Post, attacks
Senator Pierce on the latter's recent card,
warning people not to contribute indis-
criminately for the Dakota sufferers. OF
the statements which have a political tint,
Mr.. Mcdowell says: Evidently the senator
does not represent the poor of the state,
his object being to cover their restitution
for his own private reason, which he
knows only too well exists, that more
dupes may be lured into this unfortunate
country by their willy politician. Five
years Of hard work and only one crop.
The senator must be revengefully ignorant
or wishes to mislead the charitable people.
Had not the Christian women (who were
only too well informed of the terrible desti-
%tution) gone forth to the charitable world
with their tale of woe, collins, instead of
provisions and clothing would be needed
in this proud senator's state, before the ap-
proach of spring. Shame, to let the words
of n man weigh against the terrible want
and distress of thousands of farmers and
their helpless wives and children. These
are facts and can be verified by John Nc
Dowell, Nelson county, North Dakota Dec.

not one of the victims of influenza. His

U PRODUCTION.

Assayer Braden, in his report to the
director of the mint, gives interesting in
formation which concerns Great Falls
He says: 1.-THE construction of two large
custom shelters, that of the Helena and
Livingston Smelling and Reduction Co.,
at Helena, and that of the Montana
Smelling Co., at Great Falls, gave con
siderable impetus to the mining industry,
by atfordlng to owners of limited capital,
facilities for realizing readily on their
ores and so securing the development Of
prospects.
"The indications are abundant that the
current year will be one OF unprecedent-
ed activity in development and produc-
ton. Among the most significant is the
construction of railroads to mineral re-
gions where operations have been greatly
retarded by lack of such facilities. The
Northern Pacific company is building a
branch from Missoula to the CGur
d'Alenes, to reach a district of incalcul
able in gold ant silver. The
Belt mountains branch of 1..r Great

arrived in the camp the other day and

news that to the best of his knowledge
the Belt mountains railroad would ex-
tend its line on into the camp within the
next 80 days. 1t was also understood
from Mr.. Arlington that it was his in

MINI and ship out what ore there was on
the dump IN case the railroad failed to
come into the camp this fall, but with the
assurance he has now received the mine
will continue and the ore be held until
such time that it can be shipped from
the camp by rail.
A crew of men are now grading the
wagon road from town to the mine pre-
paratory to work.
J.. E. Williams has commenced work
on the at. W" mine, This mine has
been lying idle for nearly eight years.
1t was in the past a good ore producer
and from it more ore has been shipped
than from all the other mines in the
camp.
With the advent of the promised rail-
road several others of these old dormant
mines will break into life again.
1t is said that President j. j. Hill Of
fered to put the road to the camp if GER
tain mines would start up and that on the
other hand mines promised to start if the
road were put in. 1t now appears that
Mr.. Hill has taken them at their word
and is going to put the road in. 1t is
more than likely that the miners will
make their promises good.
Barker is now in tho condition OF a
newly settled farming country. The
claims are mostly owned by prospectors
who have located them for speculative
purposes and most of them will be sold
to men who can open them up before
they become productive mines.
Judged by all mining camps, it is the
second and mostly the third owner that
works the mines.

Silver continues to advance gradually.
About a month hence, Secretary Win

purchase 4,500,O00 ounces monthly. He
will call for tenders which are likely to
be high since the market is not over
loaded with silver and there are no in
dications that Europe will pour in part

nance the value of silver in London and

He may not receive the votes of the edi-

While we are confident of democratic

TIKI WOOL MARKET.

Wool-growers and w%ool-buyers are
alike dissatisfied with the miserable con
dition of the wool market. No worse
has been known in 10 years. Last veal
when the democrats controlled the house
of re representatives, Montana w~ool-growers
received 20 and % cents per pound. This
year when the republican house has be-
deviled the tariff there is no market for
wool and growers have had to consign
the staple to eastern markets. The wool
buyers, regardless of party, condemn in
strong terms the meddlesome policy
evinced by the Mckinley bill. Foreign
manufacturers are pouring IN woolens
and thus lmpairing the prospects of an
early revival in the wool industry. Wool
manufacturers are in suspense and buy
only for immediate wants. Fortunately
many Montana wool growers are not
h~ard-pressed for money. If they were
the market would be still more over
stocked and prices would undergo further
decline. Congressman Carter does well
not to ask w~ool-growers for e vote of
confidence this fall. The bitter exper-
fence of this season cannot be explained
away by any of his specious arguments.
