New Ore Rates.

The Gould management Of the
.. P. Railroad has advanced rates
on ores over their roads to Omaha
and Denver, and have also classified
ores in manner to make their
profitable shipment very rare in
dustry. The hand of Mr.. Hunt
ington is clearly in the classification
business, and it is an old trick by
which the Southern Pacific have
helped themselves to a very large
share of the profits of ore shippers
in Southern California, Arizona and
New Mexico. But we hope the
gentleman has overreached himself
in this instance. Under the new
rates our miners will be required to
pay ST per ton to Omaha on con-
centrates carrying 40 per cent and
over of lead to the ton, and SIS per
ton to Denver, instead of SIP and
SO as heretofore. As the Wood
River ores carry over 40 per cent of
lead it is plain that this is direct
blow at our mines, and must, unless
something can be. done to nullify
it, practically destroy the mining
industry of this section; and when
that industry falls, farming, lum-
bering and merchandising must go
with it, as it is the support of all
the rest. That only few mines
here can afford to pay the advanced
rates is self.evident; that the rail-
roads will abate anything of their
studied rapacity at the suggestion
or pleadings of boards of trade is
highly improbable. Hence mining
must be abandoned except in the
case of very few rich mines, or
our ores must be smelted at home.
The various boards of trade of the
state, we are informed, will unite in
an effort to have this discrimination
removed and just rates given to our
ore shippers, but we dare not hope
for good to result from their efforts,
as under the law as it is admins
tered they are powerless to do any
more than to protest and plead
But our miners are not altogether
helpless in this matter. They can
combine, secure reduction works
and work their ores at home. This
done, they are independent and
can snap their fingers at all who
would despoil them.

One of Their Schemes.

the INTELLIGEHcR's Columbus cor
respondent mentions the Democratic
scheme to chose presidential electors by
congressional districts instead OF by
popular vote, as is now done. The
beauty OF this scheme lies in the fact
that the present congressional districts
in Ohio are the result OF a Democratic
gcrrymandcr, which, in n Republican
State, gives the Democrats fifteen o IL
gressmen out OF twenty-five.
The result would be substantially the
same in the choice OF presidential cleo
tors, by this huggermugser converting
a Republican State into a Democratic
State on the presidential issue. Is not
this enough to set to work every Re-
publican in the State? In this sense
the fight nov on in Ohio is 4 national
campaign in the broadcast sense. Tho
Democrats have made it so.

Campbell and tho Ginss Industry.

At''N' 1HA'yN"u'".
Governor Campbell in speaking OF the
combination or trust formed by fifteen
tableware factories said:
"lf that concern is permitted to live
in this country, 1 predict that within
thirty days after this election is over
they'll cut down wages and raise prices.
1t has always been done in the past"
This declaration he made on the
strength OF advice given by Democrat
ic friend who has more enthusiasm than
anything else in stock. Glass workers
all know the wages are fixed for n year.
They also know that before the United
States Glass Company was formed
the Glass Manufacturers Association
and the workers had 4 tilt every ear
about the wage scale, and they are not
any moro alarmed about the new Com
pany than the old association. But the
new company expects to a money
and had the governor inquired Of per-
sons who knew, he could have learned
facts Ike these: One manager now who
used to be the head OF the company that
is in the U. S. and received $1,000 a year
now gets $1,000; another who used 10
get $1,000 nov gets $1,000, and where
there were fifteen eastern agents in the
larger cities OF the east at fancy salaries
there are only ono or two now. He could
also have learned that the savings in
this direction alone amounts to more
than a million OF dollars, but that there
isn't a factory in the combine or trust
that can get out its product with any
fewer working men than it always re-
Quired. The glasswdrkers all know,
too, that lone OF the factories ever en-
ploycd more men than theS needed
and that they will need just as many to
operate the factories hereafter. The
Governor has been ~misinformcd about
the glass business and unfortunately
for him the glass workers know more
about it than he appears to.

~ Fight on the Terminal Company.
II VIC correctly interpret the commu-
nication OF the Wheeling & Lake Erie
Railroad Company, it means fight. The
interest of that corporation in the affairs
OF Ohio county is not apparent, and yet
tho Wheeling & Lake Eric has been
locn on the scent from the moment tho
question OF the payment OF the Tcrmi-
nal Company's installmcnt was raised.
The point made on the Terminal Com
pany's rates is, OF course, u matter OF
interest to the Wheeling & Lake Eric, il
it desires to make use OF tho terminal
system; and it is n matter OF concern to
the county OF Ohio, although the con-
nection between the rate question and
the subscription question has the mp
pcarance OF being forceC at this time to
serve some purpose OF tho Wheeling &
Lake Eric which the public does not
understand.
II tho Wheeling & Lake Erie desires
to us" the terminal system on an equal
footing with other roads, it can compel
the Terminal Company TO let it in on
that basis if the interstate commerce
law amounts to anything.
