Would Sacrifice 1t,

"The trade of the United States"
says The Keokuk Gate City, sis the
greatest prize in the whole COM
mercial world. The democratic
party is ready to let foreign nations
control it and sacrifice home market
and home prosperity and manufac-
lures for phantom political sophis-
try. Can anyone within the limita-
ton of human reason question the
and correctness of the
attitude of the republican party?"

cooperative interests engaged in i'm
porting, transporting and smelling
the foreign product, and by these
his position was savagely assailed.
But by his ability, pluck and in
huence he won bare majority of
the Ways and Means committee
round to his view and secured the
introduction into the bill of a pro-
vision to the effect that all silver
ore and other ores containing lead,
when imported into this country
shall pay duty of II cents per
pound (s15 per looo) on all the lead
contained therein.
The fight against this just meas
ure was thereupon carried to the
floor of the House and there won
for the miners by close vote.
With the great importing concerns
OF the country savagely warning on
"Bob' it behooves the mining peo-
pie to show their old time love for
"fair play" and to stand by the man
who stood by them.
Already the benefcent effect of
the new tariff law is felt, and in the
last few weeks lead ore has advanced
nearly fifty per cent. Long disused
mines have again become valuable
and veins of ore which could not be
protitably worked at the low prices
heretofore Prevailing will this win
ter furnish lucrative employment for
hundreds of busy miners and light
the fires in many furnaces. South
ern Wisconsin and northern Illinois
will win back an army of these
hardy delivers III shaft an d adit who
were driven out in the far west by
the decadence of their vocation here,
and the old lead regions may con fl
IDENTIFY look forward to new era of
prosperity. FAIR PLAY.

"The vein is eight feet thick and
dips toward the east at an angle of
about As degrees. Some of the
mines average 274 per cent. Of
metallic tin, and the whole ledge
averages 10 per cent. The capital
lists interested are mostly New
York and English men. The larger
part of the capital is furnished by
New York men,"

To the Importers.

Why don't the importers and
wholesalers, in the circulars which
they are sending through the coun-
try, tell us something about the
duties which have been reduced
when they stop telling us about
those which have been increased?
The same copy of the tariff act
which informed them of the rise
has let them know about the fall.
Does their devotion to the Demo.
cratic party prevent them from rec
ognizing the claims of truth? Is
there, in their business, All ire
pressible conflict between honesty
and Democracy from this time until
election day? Deal squarely with
your patrons and the public, Messrs.

Black HIS TIN Mines.

Joseph Hare, editor of The Tin
Miner, of Hill City, S. D., in speak
ing of the Tin mines at that place,
says: "Hil. City is situated exactly
III the center of the tin belt, which
is il the shape of a half moon, and
is about Unity miles in length and
three miles wide. We are twenty
eight miles from Rapid City, the
nearest railroad point.
"The richness of these mines is
simply wonderful, and one who has
not been there can hardly believe it,
but | state fact when | tell you
that there Is enough tin on the
dumbs and in sight now to supply
the United States for five years. As
soon as the big mill is started at
Hill City We shall then be able to
ship the tin out in bars. Some of
these mines have been pushed down
24o feet, and the deeper the richer.

sort somewhere else. He notes that
thousands more of men are getting
employment at good wages. He
had hoped for rise in prices which
would incire howl, but neither the
rise nor the howl comes save from
Democratic stump speakers. He
turns to the advertising columns of
his own journal and sees that prices
are being "marked down." as usual,
for the fall trade. He is disguised
and COMPOUNDED.
The trouble with the Democratic
writer's is that the stars in their
courses continue to fight against
Sisera. Laws of trade are not
affected by political diatribes, and
the country, under judicious legisla-
ton, is in a condition of prosperity.
1t is not year of great crops, but
nowhere on the face of the civilized
globe is the condition of things
better or the outlook more full of
promise. With the option on free
trade which is offered by reciprocity,
a business-like preparation for
change of policy with changed con-
dltlons, the party in power is doing
what Is best for the vast community,
and majority of the vast commun-
lty recognizes it. There is really
no promise for the Democratic edi-
torlal writer. Before him is a con-
tlnuance of the occupation of gnaw-
ing file. But he is used to it.

THAT excellent publication, the
Iron dye, seems to have an accurate
view of affairs relating to the tariff
1t says: "rhe public seems to have
been so well convinced that all
duties are raised that dealers in very
many lines have been able to adj
vance prices and to enforce the ad-
vance without difficulty, regardless
of the facts. The new tariff is the
pretext for any kind of an upward
movement. Some of the advances
notoa are utterly untenable, because
the duties have been lowered and
not raised on the goods, but as long
as the public can be gulled, every
thing goes" Appearances indi-
cate that this imposition and evil is
about at an end. The big "dis-
played" advertisements in all the
newspapers announcing slower
prices" have counteracted all the
misrepresentation and have pretty
much bniShed the public scare on
the subject.

WASHING TON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.

WASHINGTON, ID. u, OCT. Z4th, losO.
The Republican Congressional
Campaign Committee has practical
ly completed its work; it has dis
tributed fifteen million documents,
covering every question acted upon
at the last session of Congress, and
defining the position occupied by
the republican party upon them, and
also upon every other important
question now before the public. The
number of documents distributed
Is largely in excess of the number
sent out during the last Presidential
campaign, and if every voter in the
land is not fully enlightened it is
not the fault of the committee.
called at the committee head
quarters this morning to make some
inquiries in relation to the charge
that the committee was compelling
the department clerks to contribute
to the campaign fund, and found,
just as | expected, that there was
not word of truth in the charge.
Not only has the committee not
compelled the clerks to contribute,
but it has absolutely refused to
accept contributions voluntarily
rendered by employees of the gov
erDment, because at the beginning
of the campaign it was determined,
in order to give no excuse for criti-
cism, that no money should be
received from Federal office holders;
but those office holders who have
been disposed to contribute their
money to help the party have had
no difficulty in doing so. The
various state associations have all
had gentlemen who have no connec-
ton with the government service,
acting as treasurers of the respective
associations, and they have gladly
received all the money offered,
whether from office holders or pri-
vate citizens, and from a somewhat
close investigation, | am certain
that the entire amount raised by all
of the state associations in Wash
ington will not exceed $1,000 and
at least one-third of that amount
was raised by two state associations
Ohio and Indiana.
The charge of bull.dozing by the
state associations to intimidate the
clerks into contributing, is as foun-
dationless as that against the con
gresslonal committee, and both of
them had their origin among demo
Gratis, who are so badly demoralized
at what they privately acknowledge
to be their almost certain prospect
of defeat, that they have raised the
cry of political assessments and
campaign boodle," to explain that
defeat. No employe of the govern
ment has contributed one cent under
"compulsion'-th large number of
employees and tle small amount of
money raised should be sufficient to
convince any fair minded man of
that. The state associations have
done the party far greater practi-
cal favor in getting a very large

IF Mr.. Mckinley had put a clause
in his tariff bill placing prohibi-
tory duty OH the imported profess

been still more entitled to the graft

A KANSAS city jury has just de.
cided that it is no crime to steal
whisky III that state. "A man named
Wilson was arrested at Columbus
for breaking into a saloon and carry
ing away quantity of beer and
whisky. His guilt was clearly
proven on the trial, but the jary
acquitted him on the ground that as
the selling or keeping of spirituous
liquors was contrary to law and was
crime, the act of taking the goods
was no crime.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-The Presi-
dent has sent to Congress the report
of the commission appointed by him
under the act Of Congress Of last June
to select site on the Pacific coast or
Puget Sound for p dry dock, having
due regard to commercial and naval
interests. The report, after review
ing at great length the localities
visited, recommends that the pro-
posed dock should be located at Port
Orchard, on the Puget Sound, as the
most desirable point. The COM
mission estimates that the land re-
quired for the dock amounting to
about 307 aeres) can be purchased for
