Lead is also distinctive product Of the state
Though to a smaller degree than is zinc. Ac
cording to the figures of the state mine in
spettor the total product for the year ending
June ~ 1881. was 10, 9,s1 tons Of pig lead and L.,
HD tons of lead ore, with an aggregate value of
ll.;E9, showing an increase in product of 10
per cent. over that of the preceding year. Mis-
souri ranks second among the states of the
union lead producer. Lead ore is mined
along with the zinc ores OF the southwestern
and central parts of the state in Jasper. Law
renee, Newton and other counties, but by far
the larger portion comes from the disseminated
ores of the southeastern counties of St Fran
co.'s. Madison, Washington and Jefferson. as
much as three -fourths being from this district.
Here the st. Joe Lead Co. at Bonne Terre and
the Doe Run Lead Co, both in st. Francois
county, are the largest producers, their com
bined output being from l,5O0 to 2u0 pigs of
lead per day. The Mine La Motto. in Madison
county, and the Valley mines. in Washington
county. are also large producers The lead ores
in St Francois and Madison counties are smelt
ed in furnaces located at the respective mines.
Those Of southwestern Missouri are treated at
the Picher white lead works in Joplin, at the
Argentine smelter in Kansas and at the St
Louis Refining and Smelling Co.'S works at
Cheltenham. In Morgan. Miller. Cole, Wash
ington and jefferson counties are small furnaces
handling the local products.
The following interesting figures concerning
the sale Of zinc and lead ores in the Jasper coun
ty district are kindly advanced by Mr.. Jesse A

Vi tne past year.
Zinc is pronouncedly Missouris distinctive
mineral product, and in this she is far in ad-
vance of every other state in the union in the
amount and value of the product. The total
production, according to the state mine in
spector, for the year ending June -. was l23.-
~, tons valued at S., ,6130.3 This is an increase
OF nearly p per cent. over the recorded pro-
duction Of the preceding year. Zinc mining is
concentrated in the southwestern part of the
state, especially in Jasper county. in and about
the towns of Joplin. Webb City and Carthage.
Here the Empire the Turkey Creek. the
Tracy, the Eleventh Hour and the Center Craek
mines are among the most important, they
together producing perhaps about half of
the total amount of the county. In New
ton county, Just south of Jasper. zinc is also
mined. principally at the CRANKY mines. In the
adjoining county Of Lawrence to the east. at
Aurora. are mines on the Orchard tract-the
Bonanza mines, the Black Lands and the Vance
Llnds-from all of which zinc is mined. partly
rs silicate and partly as blende. Small amounts
of zinc are mined in Greene and Christian coun-
ties. and prospecting to a greater or less extent
is being prosecuted in Barry, Dade, Wright,
Texas, Shannon, Carter, Ripley, Douglas, Stone,
Mcdonald, Laclede, Phelps. Pulaski Dent and
Crawford counties. Some of the zinc ore is
smelted at the mines of the Empire company,
and some at Rich Hill and Nevada. in the state,
but the larger part is shipped elsewhere for
treatment.

GATHERED FROM OUR LETTERS.

Brother w. T. Cannon writes us
that full organization of the Peo-
pies Party in Wilkinson county was
effected on the 21st instant; also
that the county Alliance has voted
for an immediate session of the State
Alliance. We cannot see any press
ing need of an extra session. Any
of our State officers whose conscience
will permit them, may go over to the
camps of the enemy; but no man or
any set of men can deliver the AL
liancemen of Georgia to Tammany
and Wall street. The very moment
that they forgot their Alliance vows
they become powerless to hurt any
thing save their own regulations.
L. L. Potter of South Bend, Kan
sas, the son of an ex-Union soldier,
wants to PAIR off with the son of an
ex-Confederate and mutually agree
to vote the Peoples ticket straight
from top to bottom. We wish to
tell our young friend if he could only
be in Georgia for a week and see how
the old soldiers and their boys are
rushing for the ST. Louis platform, he
wouldn't own that he came to pair
with anybody.
Brother W. L. Gray of Norton,
Kansas, writes II am well pleased
with the Peoples Party Paper. 1t
is all that wide-awake Peoples
Party man or woman can wish for.
We thank our Western brother for
his kind words and beg to assure him
that we will ever be found in the
front rank until the word monopoly
is expunged from the American vo-
cabulary.
Please do not send stamps when it
can be avoided and when you do
send them rub the gummed side over
your hair to keep them from sticking
E'closer than brother"

terS.

We have got Texas and she is out
to win, and we are going to ''Kan-
sasize" her this fall. The long pent
up feelings of the people have been
turned loose, andssare given vent too
in no uncertain measure in the en-
thusiasm which characterizes the
large gatherings that are being held
daily in every town and village and
hamlet in this state. Every sub
alliance in Texas has Endorsed the
St. Louis demands and resolved in
favor of Independent political action.
We believe that grand reunion
of the Grand Army of the Republic
and the United Confederate Veter-
ans should be held at Omaha July
4th, wherein the blue and the gray
might march arm in arm to the grave
of sectionalism, thus exemplifying in
fact what the politicians would only
have in theory united country
one and indivisable forever.

DENVER, COL, April 26.-The State
convention of Colorado silver leagues
met here yesterday, Representatives to
the number of 500 being present.
Delegates were selected to the
National silver convention at Wash
ington May 26, and resolutions adopt
ed shat in the event the Democratic
and Republican National conventions
failing to nominate for President and
Vice-President, men with pronounced
silver views, it will be the duty of the
voters to support any party that may
promise the speedy reinstatement of
silver "and this silver convention, rep
resenting, as it does, the people of Col
orado, irrespective of party, pledges
our faithful and unequivocal support
in favor of the political party that will
faithfully carry out the purpose of
free coinage of silver"
1t was also resolved as sentiment of
the convention that the Colorado State
Conventions should instruct their del
egates to the national conventions to
withdraw from the conventions if they
do not succeed in getting free silver
planks in their party platforms.

ACTIVITY IN RAILROAD CIRCLES.

For the first time, the corpora
lions are called upon to witness the
formation of party which means to
compel them to obey the law, pay
their taxes, cease to tyrannize over
the laborer and consumer and to
haul freight and persons at rea-
sorable rates.
No man gives up fat thing will
iingly. 1t is human nature to fight
for the selfish advantage good for
tune and successful piracy has given
them.
Hence the stir among the railroad
magnates. They must check the
movement of the Peoples Party or
tLey may be forced to surrender the
regal power, they now have to ex-
act tribute from the producer and
the consumer, the seller and the
buyer.
Therefore it seems entirely natural
TO read that so many able railroad
iawyears are preparing to save the
farmer from the dreadful fate of
voting as he pleases.
Examine the list:
Hon. A. o. Bacon, attorney for
East Tenn. Va. & Ga. r. r.; Hon.
T. G. DuBignon, attorney for Plant
Railroads; Hon. J. G. G. Black, at
torney for Central Railroad; Hon.
Pope Barrow, attorney for Richmond
e Danville Railroad; Hon. E. P.
Howell, director Central Railroad.
This is neat little pile of cor
poration officials, but it is only the
beginning. Well have more of them
later on.

A Rush for Homes.

Portions of the Indian Territory
west of Oklahoma were thrown open
to hOmesteaders on the 10Th, and it is
estimated that thirty thousand fami-
lies rushed in to secure homes. Of
these about one-sixth were negroes.
The land was not well known by the
settlers, and reports are to the effect
that most were disappointed with the
selection and outlook, as the country
proved to be much less rich than was
expected, much of it being alkali land
with poor water.

How will the following pass for
democratic doctrine to-day? "Con-
gress has no power to charter national
banks. We believe that sush institu-
tions are deadly hostile to the best
interests Of the country, dangerous to
our republican institutions and the lib
critics of the people, and calculated to
place the business of the country with

of the people that the separation of
the money of the government from
banking institutions is indispensable

The price of all things is fixed by
the volumn of money in circulation.
This Is an axiom in political economy
which every one recognizes. If the
volumn of money was doubled the
price of cotton would go to twelve
cents where it is now six and to four
teen where it il now seven. Every
thing else would advance equally, but
1t would take only half as much cot
ton or any other product of labor to
pay the debts of the people as it does
now. And that is why the Pluto
Gratis oppose any increase in the vol
umn of money. They have got the
people in debt so deep that it takes
all they produce to pay the interest
ana Il they can keep it@at that they
will continue to get everything the
people can produce forever.
And they have hired the big Re
publican and Democratic bosses to
help them keep things as they are.
And the Big Bosses hire the little
ones by promising them the petty Of
fees to help them do their hellish
work of deceiving the people.
