H WEEKLY TRIBUNE.
ANOTHER LEADEN PILL,
FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER. 20. 1852.

The miners are discussing in an in
telligent way the question OF the tariff
on lead. They are perfectly aware thai
so far as their being benefited by the
tariff on Mexican ores is concerned, the
republican party's claims are ell moon.
shine" They have the information
within their reach, which shows that the
price of lead was higher before the Nc.
Kinley tax of one and one-half cents per
pound on Mex can lead had been i'm
posed. They are able to ascertain by
their own Investigations, that this tax on
the Mexican lead ores has largely re-
duced their import, and that now only
small quantities are bought by the Col
orado smelters, and those at Kansas
City, which must have these ores for
huxing purposes, and cannot obtain
them from American mines. They can
see for themselves that another effect of
the tax has been to drive English and
American capital out of this country,
and to cause them to build smelters in
Mexico, thus taking from the United
States the profits Of both capital and
labor, incident to the free importation of
Mexican lead ores.
The Denver News commenting on this
subject, says:
There is a peculiar provision of the Nc
Kinley act under which, after the ores
have been smelted in Mexico, if the bull
lion is destined for European markets, it
may be landed in New York or other
American seaports free of duty, that it
may there be separated-the lead from
the silver-the lead to be subsequently
shipped abroad to its destination. TO
encourage the separation of the bullion
in American retineries, the treasury de-
partment allows 10 per cent Of the lead
for losses in the operation. The real loss
is but > per cent. This gives to the En-
glish owners of Mexican bullion shipped
to the United States for separation 8 per
cent of all the lead it contains free of
duty. which is sold in this country in
competition with American lead.
But this is not the only evil of this tax.
The American silver miner has to pay
$3.50 per ton additional smelling
charges because of it, while eight per
cent of the Mexican lead is admitted
free of all duties, to be sold in compe-
tition with the lead of the United States.
The American smelters are compelled to
pay the tariff duties on the Mexican ores
needed for huxing. and at last it is found
that the tax really falls on the consumer
in the additional cost of plumbing for
his house, and on the miner who cannot
secure the necessary lead ores for smelt-
ing his silver and other ores that do not
carry the adequate amount of lead for
their own reduction. And thus it is
seen that every sophlstry of the monopo-
lists falls to the ground and the bare
fact remains that the tariff is a tax on
every man in this country who buys
any article from abroad that comes UNI
der the Mckinley bill. 1t has no inilu-
ence on the actual price of lead, but it
a preteyt for extortion.

The Truth of II,

Republican mud batteries have already
been opened against the Hon. II. f. Col
Inns. He is charged with being an enc
my to organized labor and with import
ing alien laborers from Canada. Both
charges have no foundation in fact. By
no word or deed has he shown hostility
to organized labor. He was a hard
working man in the mines of Montana
for years and those who know him can
testify to his sympathy for the laboring
classes. AS to his importing alien labor,
the charge is simply absurd. He EN-
ploys no men save a few clerks in the
bank Of which he is president, but he
has and is still helping many to provide
bread for their families. Deer Lodge

courages versatility. Other men will no

necessary to take the matter in hand. In
Sundays paper the TRIBUNE will publish
the program for the day as prepared by
the national committee, and will also
publish the views Of many prominent
citizens of Great Falls touching this
question. Parents who are in favor of a
proper celebration Of this day, should
write their views to the TRIBUNE at the
earliest possible moment.
The same gentleman who brought
word about the raj y says that the min.
ing outlook at Neihart was never 30 good
as at the present time. In the Florence
and in the Queen of the Hills the new
developments show large and rich bodies
of ore, and the feeling is increasing that
Neihart is sure to be distinctly a region
of deep mines. Every mine in the camp
improves as depth is attained, so that it
is only reasonable for those interested in
the camp to expect something in the way
of real bonanzas before this camp is
many years older. Much of the ore al
ready shipped has been Of a grade very
far above that found in most other dis
tricts, and the quantity as we'll as the
quality of the product is gradually in
creasing.
Whatever may be thought OF the atti-
tude of Great Falls on the capital ques-
ton, it is certain that there is plenty of
confidence and enthusiasm among the
people of this city respecting the final
settlement of this important question.
While there are several candidates in the
field it is doubtful il any one of them
feels more secure of its position than
Great Falls. In the final arbltrament of
the ballot box the one great city of Mon
tana has nothing to fear.

CH AT BY THE A

There was a fine rally of the young
democrats of Neihart under the auspices
OF the Democratic club on Wednesday
night, and in spite of the fact that it was
a stormy night the attendance was large
and the enthusiasm very marked. \
gentleman who came down from Nei,
hart yesterday says that Mr.. Collins,
who was the speaker of the evening, was
received with expressions of regard by
nearly everybody in the town, and it is
certain that he will have the almost
united support Of Neihart. The Neihart
band played choice selections and the
hall was attractively decorated with
bunting and flags. The large audience
which assembled in spite of the rain was
composed of the representative men of
the camp. Mr.. Collins spoke for an
hour and a half, reviewing the record of
the republican party and telling the
voters all he could Of the program of re-
form which has been prepared by the
democratic party in both state and ma
final affairs. From Neihart Mr.. Collins
went to White Sulphur Springs, and the
gentleman who reported his movements
did not think he would be back in Great
Falls for several days.

A TRIBUNE reporter made inquiries
yesterday among a number of prominent
citizens respecting their views Of the
Columbus day celebration. These in.
terviews were had in a casual way, but
all resulted in an expression decidedly IN
favor OF the public celebration on that
day. 1t is evident from what was said,
that public opinion is not in sympathy
with the action Of the school board and
the city superintendent, and it now seems
likely that unless these officials show a
disposition to organize a celebration in a
spirit which is characterizing the school
directors In other parts Of the country,
the citizens themselves may find it

From the Popular Science News
One of the best marked characteristics Of
most rocks is their rigidity, but a few species
are known which are more flexible than wood
and readily bend under slight pressure without
breaking. The itscoiumite, or flexible sand
stone, is the most abundant of these rocks and
is found principally in Brazil. although a SINH
Lar formation is met with in numerous other To-
calities in small quantities.
The fexibility of itacolumite is readily UNDER
stood when the stone is examined with the
microscope. All sandstone consists Of separate
grains of sand transformed into solid rock by
some cementing material which, has percolated
in solution between the grains.
This cement varies in its nature, and may
consist of carbonate of lime, oxide OF iron

The way in which the cementing material

they were originally introduced in the form of

Of similar change of one mineral species into

BABY DOUGHTY'S CASE.

Judge Barrett's Orders-Testimony to Be
Given Regarding the Alleged Agreement.
NEW YORK, Oct 25.-Baby Doughty was in
court this morning before Justice Barrett. The
child was in the arms Of Mrs. Bradford, who
was accompanied by her husband. Eleanor
Doughty, the mother Of the child, and her
mother were also in attendance.
Counsel for Miss Doughty presented legal
argument on the question Of adoption and JUS
tice Barrett said he was aware of all that, but
that this was not question Of adop-
ton. The point to be determined was
whether the child hould be taken
away and given to the mother. 1t was an ap-
plication addressed to the discretion Of the
court. If the child had been with its present
custodians fifteen years and they had become
attached to it and the mother denied an oral
agreement under which possession was claimed
the court would be bound, as in this case, to do
justice to the child and deal cqutably With the
whole matter.
Miss Doughty's counsel denied that Mrs Brad
ford held the child under any agreement and
the justice said testimony as to this issue could
be taken Immediately before ]. J. Nedis, the
