his annual review Of tho lead industry.
Says Mr.. I,shwell:
For 4 short time indeed. toward the
end OF 1880, the price Of lead was nd.
vanced by tho Mckinley bill. and tho
smelling charges on dry silver ores
were ais increased quite heavily. ow-
ing % y temporary scarcity Of lead
fiux,rg ores, but = more liberal inter
probation Of the bill of the treasury do
partmcnt again allowed the Mexican
ore u enter. The price Of lead thence
forward declined Though smelling
charges did not). and ~ = final out
come II must be apparent TO every one,
from a study Of these statistics. that
the Mckinley bill mas been an injury
rather than n benefit TO the lead. and
especially 10 the silver miners Of the
west
This result must set some Of the in
telligent miners to thinking who profit
ed when they were injured, or At least
not benefited. BY the Legislation which
they were told would prove SO greatly
to their advantage. But had Mexican
lead ores continued to come in free,
what would have been the result?
Undoubtedly the smelling Of the Next.
can ores would have been done in this
country. 70 the obvious advantage Of
our m~etallurgical industry, instead Of
in works built with American capital
in Mexico.
LEAD might have ruled lower in price
had a very large amount Of ore come
In from abroad. but this would have
greatly stimulated consumption. and
would have keptdown smelling charges
on dry ores the mining OF which gives
occupation to more men thaa does the
mining Of lead ores"
Turning from the injurious effects OF
the duty IN the production and smelt-
ing Of silver lead pres in the United
States to the effect on the production
Of lead in Mexico. Mr.. Rothwell says:
Previous to 800. only . few unim-
portant smelling works existed In
Mexico. the product OF which was very
small, but when the American market
was closed 70 the Mexican miners, who
could not afford TO pay the heavy
freight charges 10 Europe on the low
grade ores, nothing was left for them
to do but to establish . smelling in
dustry Of their own The opportunity
was promptly seized. not only by them
but also by the larger American smell
ers. who found themselves deprived Of
a proportion Of their supplies; they,
too, went over to Mexico and started
up smelling works, which are %
partially in operation. and will be en
tirely so this year.
AT present the production Of lead
bullion in Mexico goes on at the rate OF
about l, 200 tons per month, but very
shortly this will be increased to about
I. 800 tons. and may by the end Of this
year amount to 5000 tons. II this
latter figure Is reached it will mean
that Mexico will thus produce about
one-sixth as much as The United States
and there eau be no doubt that most Of
this bullion would have been produced
here had not the law been altered in q
mostdeplorably narrow-minded spirit
Since the duty Of ~ cents per pound
on the lead content Of imported ores
benefits no one in the United States
but positively Injuries the other Lead
producers and smelterS. why should il
not be repealed?

They regard the pension legislation

In contra.t with talk Of this sort, the

are a subject Of pride.
II is eminently proper that the veter-

particulars cannot be learned to night. 1t
appears that boy, while cutting bundles
for a threshing machine, accidentally cut

him that he Immediately caught up the
lad and threw him into the rapidly re-
volving cylinder, where he was ground to

a hand to prevent it.
The brother of the unfortunate lad
witnessed the bloody deed, and lost no

murderer He felled him TO the floor
with blow from pitchfork, and while
he lay writhiDg from the effects thereof,

AN AUCTIONEER DIES
He Goes Suddenly, Without Warning
and Without Thought.
He Has Been on the Market Nearly
Twenty Years, All Told.
MANY FRIENDS TO MOURN HIS DEATH
People Who Come and Go-Brief Brevi-
ties of Interest to All Readers
of The Globe.

Mr.. II. Ii. Blackley, at Reams ware
house, received telegram this morning
about 10 o'clock, announcing the death of
his father, c.. Il Blackley, of Oxford,
at Greenville this morning at $3.50. Mr..
Blackley was here just a week ago to
day, appearing hale and hearty. He
went to Greenville on Monday to auc
tioneer for that tobacco market.
For fifteen or sixteen years Mr.. Black
ley has been well and popularity known
on the Oxford market, and his many
friends in the trade and outside will
grieve at his sad taking off.
At times he was a sufferer from rheu-
matism, but of late was much improved,
and his death was most unexpected.
Mr.. H H. Blackley left for Henderson,
where he will meet the remains and carry
them to the burying grounds of kith and
| kin gone before.
Truly the preacher hath it right when
he tells "In the midst of life, we are in
DEATH" Peace to the dead, and solace
for the living must come from the one
great source.
