BE CAREFUL, MINERS.

At 50 80 per 100 pounds foreign
lead can be sold at a profit in our
markets, notwithstanding the Re.
publican tariff of ! cents per pound.
The Democratic House of Repre>
sentatives recently passed bill which
practically removes the tariff from
lead.
This bill cannot become a law
without the concurrence of the Sem
ate and the President.
The President aud Senate being
Republican, there is no danger of its
becoming law as long as the exist.
ing division exists.
But if the Democrats or the third
party, or both united should win,
then the tariff would be removed, and
the price of lead would fall not ONLY
to $3 GO, but to So and even less, per
100 pounds.
This would necessarily lead to a
great reduction in the rate of miners
wages, as no one can long do bust.
ness at loss.
The bulk Of ldaho's silver-lea d ores
do not carry over nine ounces silver
to the ton. Even were silver to 90
to $l.2929 that would not offset the
loss by the depreciation of lead.
Miners who are INDUCING in the
third party tomfoolery had, therefore,
better look out. They may only be
working to reduce their own wages.
