POLITICAL
sion.

The republicans of Connecticut.
nominated Samuel E. Merwin for gov
ernor.
North Dakota democrats endorsed
the independent state ticket in its
entirety.
Ex-United States Senator Henry
W. Blair of New Hampshire has been
nominated for congress.
Montana republicans nominated
J. @. Richards, of Butte, for governor
and Chas. S. Hartman of Bozeman for
congress.
Daniel Buchanan, Jr., was nOmi-
mated by reclamation for congress by
the democrats of the Tenth congress
sional district of Wisconsin.
The New Hampshire state demo-
cratic convention nominated Luther
i. Mckinney, of Manchester, for
| governor on the first ballot, and chose
presidential electors for the ensuing
campaign.
Colorado republicans nominated
Judge j. c. Helm, of the supreme
bench, for governor; James NJ.
Downing, of Aspen, for lieutenant
governor and Z. j. Eaton, the pre-
sent incumbent, for secretary of state.
The Confederate States used to

greeley ON the TariT Tax.


Horace Greeley in his essay on
political economy: But with what
reason, with what justice, does one
say that an impost or tax on imported
iron or nails, cloth or cutlery, creates
a monopoly? A great many Of our
cOuntrymen were previously employed
in making those articles. Which of
them has been granted a monopoly?
In what sense is a monopoly accorded
to any or the whole of trcm together?
Do we not know that, not only will
each of them sell as his own interest
prompts, and increase his product so
fast and so far as he can do so with
profit, but that anyone else who will,
may embark in the business when
ever he shall see fit? Nay, do we not
know that this impoSt or tax will, to
a moral certainty, impel hundreds to
do so? How can A have had con-
ferred on him by law a monopoly of
that which b, c, d, and ali the rest
vi ChC dlDhdDCt, diC hOC OHly dJ
perfect liberty ID embark in when
ever they will, but which this very
act strongly tends to invite them to
engage in, having been passed for
that very purpose?
When a general revision OF the
tariff was last before the house of
representatives February, 1861, l
was on the floor, and meeting a
leading member from Missouri | said
to him: 1T does not disappOint me
to see Massachusetts lukewarm and
halt-hearted in support of pro
tection-her factories are built and
running; she has machinery, skill,
experience, markets; / expect her
soon to desert us, under the
impression that she has more to
dread heDceforth from American
than from foreign competition-but
what you MisourianS, with your vast
wealth of unopened mines, your
unused waterpower, your unbilt
factories, a mean by voting against
protection l cannot imagine" My
Missouri friend WINGED a little but
replied: 81 think we might
harmonic on this subject were it
not for the Pennsylvanians-the iron
men; they are too greedy" "Stop,"
/ rejoined, land answer me n plain
question right here. Suppose the
duty on imported iron were 81 900
per ton, and could neve be less;
what would then govern the price of
iron in this country? l suppose" he
replied, ''that the price of iron
would be governed by the cost of
producing it," "Quite right" /
Responded; land it seem to me
that you who comprehend so well the
law governing prices, must know
better than to vote here with the
enemies of protection

THAT at Hin Cityis Completed and is Soon
to BE Operated.


The Hin City tin mill is at last
completed and everything is ready TO
commence taking out tin concentrates
with the completion of the railroad
spurs to the various mines from which
the ore is to be taken.
This house is an immense structure
il and the machinery costing over
$50 900. The ore bin is up on the hill
ton. the bottom of the bin being
above the top of the mill. This is a
firm structure, under the b. " NJ.
spur, with a capacity of 800 tons.
The cars on the b. 81 NJ. dump into
this bin, and the ore is drawn from
the bin by means of a patent gate
into small cars, and transferred to the
ore chute from which the mill is fed.
The chute itself is quite large, having
a capacity of thirty tons Of ore.
1t may be well to explain that tue
mill is built on steep hillside, where
by the company is enabled to place
the various machinery through which
the ore has to pass in such a position
that when it has passed through u
mill it drops into the other, thus
doing away with all extra handling.
| From the point where the ore goes in
at the top of the mill to where the
| concentrates are taken out is 100 yer-
tical feet.
The ore feeds out of the ore chute
into the first crusher, where water
Jets play upon the ore all the time.
From this crusher the ore passes into
a screen, with meshes II inches in
size. All the particles of ore that are
too large to 60 through this screen
| are fed automatically into a second
crusher, and 50 on to a third, where
all remaining particles are GROUND to
the finest powder.
There are six sets of revolving
screens which size up the crushed ore.
Jets of water are kept playing upon
these screens all the time. 1t requires
800 gallons of water a min ute TO run
all the machinery.
The crushed rock goes from the
rock cruSher on the top floor to
wranging rolls on the jig floor, and
after passing through them is ele-
waited to the revolving sizing screens
and is discharged into iig5. From
here it passes down a floor into
hydraulic separators. The overflow
from these hydraulic scparatOrs,
which is not crushed fine enough,
passes down into two five-fOOt Hun
tingtOn mills, and after being here
crushed passes down into four com
partment iigS. All the slime and fine
particles which are not caught in
these jigS go into three compartment
settling tanks. From these settling
tanks the light particles and shines
are siphoned into II Frue Vanning
machines, eight of which are smooth
belted-and four are the corrugated
improved. The concentrates are
dropped into a box in front of the
yanning machines, which will hold
from 1000 to 1850 pounds of cOncen-
trates; from here they are raked out
with a hoe and are ready to be smelted
and run into pig tin.
The mill at present has a capacity
of go tons of ore per day. To handle
this amount Of ore will require just
eighteen hands. To handle the same
amount of ore in Cornwall requires
$50 persons.

Northwestern Agriculturist: Dur
ing the past two years there has been
a steady and marked advance in the
prices Of farm lands in the north
west. Two years ago western farm
mortgages were a by-word, and they
were not considered good security.
Now in spite of the ISLANDERS that
have been circulated in regard to the
west by partisans for political pur-
poses, they areagain favorit securities,
and are taken on an average of to 2
per cent less interest than ruled five
years ago. At the end of another
five years good agricultural lands at
low prices will be very scarce, and
good farmers in the northwest will be
able to borrow all the money their
property is security for at 6 per cent.

war brought to lis one great
blessing-a national currency. Prior
10 the war we had the worst currency
system of any enlightened nation IL
the world. State banks, with some
exceptions, were thoroughly
irresponsible. They have caused an
aggregate loss of hundreds of millions
of dollars among the poor. Since u
close of the war all this is different.
Every paper dollar that circulates
among the people has the united
States behind it as a guarantee. All
issue banks that exist are under
control of the national government,
and if they fail as fnanclai
institutions the government has
taken care their bills are to be PAID
by securities deposited in government,
vaults.
Under these circumstances 1T IS a
matter of extraordinary surprise that
a democratic convention should dellb-
erately pass resolutions for the re-
vival of state banks. The palpable
effect of this policy, if carried out,
would be to cheat the poor man out
of his daily bread. If state banks be
adopted, and their circulation attain
large issue. no device could be more
deadly for deception and despoilment
of all commercial and labOring,claSses.
How a democratic convention came to
make such a declaration? who was
its author? what intelligent purpose
| was in it, will remain a mystery.
| have heard the argument adduced
that we would keep our money at
| home if state banks were instituted;
but we should keep it at home, be-
cause it would be so worthless that
nobody would take it abroad. Were
the system of state banks revived, we
would again have discounts at state
lines, large charges for drafts on
financial celterS and general suspl-
cion of every bill offered in payment,
with a liquidation every few years
| that would be a destructive loss to
innocent holders of bills, and a CORE
spending profit to parties owning
g
banks.
THE three issues which | have
given are the issues on which | would
arraign the democratic party. !
would not multiply issues nor be di-
yerted by our opponents from stead
fast adherence tOand constant prescn-
tatiOn of these questions before the
