BIG PROFIT.
Lake Superior Copper Mines Will
Clear S7,OOO,OOO This Year.

Houghton, July 1.-THE dividends
paid 10 date by Is Lake Superior copper
mines aggregate s74,s6O,375. During
their development period assessments
amounted to $7,S60, 500, leaving net
profits of nearly 100000. In addi-
tion TO this the present value of the
mines is $6O,OOO,O00 at current quota
tons. Eight of these Is mines are yet
in active operation. Many old miners
affirm that some of the abandoned
workings if equipped with modern ma
chinery and mills would again make
big profits for their owners. Silver
is found in native form, associated with
the copper, in nearly all of the Lake
Superior mines, and millions of dol
lars worth of silver have been taken
from the old mass mines of Ontono-
gan and Keweenaw counties. The 1897
output of copper by the lake district
will probably reach or even exceed 75,
900 tons, and the profit to the mining
companies on this output will scarce
ly fall short of S7,00O,OOO.

SENATOR HANNA HITS BACK.
An object Lesson for Calamity How'll
ing Democrats.

Mark Hanna's rejoinder TO his news
paper critics, who delight in picturing
him as bloated plutocrat and friend
and organizer of trusts and oppressive
combinations, is sharp and defiant. 1t
is the answer of man of political cour-
age, who does not hesitate to impale
his detractors at the risk of ircurring
the unified opposition of all the ele-
ments of calamity and disorder in a
campaign the issue of which involves
his political future.
lie Mark Hanna wanted to play the
role of demagogue he would have
clamored vociferously in the senate for
some sort of antitrust legislation
which he knew could not be enforced.
If he had been anxious to win the plaud-
its of the unthinking assailants of the
prosperous and the we'll to do he would
have made a fiery and impassioned
speech in the senate against the trusts
demanding the passage of an anti
trust bill, framed entirely for home
consumption in Ohio, which he knew
could not pass the senate.
If Senator Mark Hanna ever wanted
10 make a grand stand play for the
favor of those who believe in confiisca-
ton and reputation as the only rene
dies for present industrial ills this was
the great opportunity of his life. But
the price was too great. Mr.. Hanna
does not propose to fall into the preva-
lent craze for calling every business
trust and attacking it through the
statute books, even though ii might Sc
cure a seat in the United States senate.
In replying to the attacks Of the
calamity howlers Senator Hanna said:
"I am not a defender Of trusts in the
sense that I want TO perpetuate any
monopoles or uphold any oppression. But
a great deal Of this antitrust talk IS
demaSogtSm pure and simple. II comes
from men who do not know what they are
talking about, men who are full of theory,
but who would not know a business opera
tion If they met it walking down the street.
These men who howl about trusts and
make themselves believe they are friends
of the people and that they are winning
popularity by such a course simply bow to
what they think is popular prejudice and
make war on the business interests The
best lawyers In the senate say IL is i'm
possible 10 frame a stronger antitrust law
than the Sherman act. II we go further
than that we simply prosecute business
and interfere with the rights Of property"
This is an object lesson in political
honesty for the trimmers and the
Straddlers 10 contemplate. Popular
sympathy is with the downtrodden and
the oppressed, but public sentimcnti is
against political duplicity and cow
ardice.-Chicago Times-H Herald.

a STABLE TARIFF.
Protection Has Become an Esitab-
lished Principle.

There never was a thing by the wit
OF man SO well devised but that in
course Of time change therein became
needful; and, if this generalization be
true of the liturgy of a church, as is
avowed in the stately preface TO tho
English Book of Common Prayer"
much more is it true of thing so full
of detail, and dealing with commodities
of such varying value and demand, as n
commercial tariff. Yet withal it is not
only desirable, but possible, so TO frame
a tariff law that, while its details may
be changed from time TO time, its policy
shall be permanent. And this result,
we make bold To say, is likely to be
achieved by the passage of the measure
now in committee of conference be-
tween the two branches of congress.
The new tariff bill will be closely
akin TO the Dingley bill, as it left the
house, and the Dingley bill was as
close an approach to the Mckinley bill
as the altered conditions of trade and
finance would permit. Both were bills
for revenue derived from duties so
levied upon imports as to give ample
protection to the products of the mines,
soil, factories, mills and foundries of
the United States. Under the McKin-
ley bill the nation prospered exceeding
ly, indeed, unprecedentedly. Under
the Dingley bill the nation is likely to
prosper exceedingly so soon as the vast
quantity of imports that have been
brought into the country and ware
-, ;nf, 90 ho
duties of the new law are dispersed
through the regular channels of trade.
Analysis of the rates by which the
various clauses of the bill were passed
through the senate shows that the
democratic party no longer is a unit
for free trade, or for its alias, tariff for
revenue only" a majority in both
up of adherents of one party, has pro-
nounced that the true fiscal policy of
the nation is that which conduces to
the use of American products by the
American people. 1t were idle to re-
assert the self-evident truth that, with,
at most, three or four exceptions, there
is not an article necessary to the well
being or comfort of the American peo-
pie that is not or that cannot be made
or produced by the cooperation of
American capital and labor. 1t would
be equally idle TO reaffirm the
equally self-evident corollary that it
is an impoverishing policy that tends to
encourage the purchase from foreign
ers of goods and produce that can be
bought as chesply, and of as good
quality, from our own citizens. Fac
ton itself has receded from the alb
surdity of disputing these axioms.
This, then, is the clear gain of the
last political campaign, that tariff has
become a fxity. The rates of duty on
this or that article, may, and will, be
subject to change from time to time,
but all future tariffs will be built on
the line of protection to home indus
tries. Protection is now as much of a
fixed fact as is the emancipation of the
negro or the inyiolability of the union
of states in federal republic. And all
these doctrines have been affirmed
successfully contended for and firmly
established by the republican party,
aided by strong minority of loyal and
progressive democrats.-Chicago Inter

Several men gathered about horse near

commenting upon the prominence OF tne

The animal belonged TO farmer living near

STREET CARS TIED UP.
City officials Prevent the Saginaw

Saginaw, July 19.-The difficulty be-
tween the city and the Union Street
Railway company has reached n cli-
max. The supreme's court decision
sustaining the city's action revoking
the company's franchise was the sig
nal for a battle. Saturday night Mayor
Baum and other city officials held star
chamber session, the result of which
was that one of the city's cotton street
rollers was run upon the company 5
track leading to the carhouse, thus
cutting OFF all chances for traffic and
effecting complete tie-up of the lines
of this city. This act renders the Union
Street Railway company imperative
and live in name only. According to
Saginaw's new charter, passed at the
recent session of the legislature, the
council will have to sell the use of the
streets, the franchise going TO the high

pany, which already holds S325,OOO

which has signifed a desire TO secure

most total destruction of grasshoppers
by parasites, which began preying up
on them about two weeks ago. In the

not able TO withstand the persistent
attacks of little red insects which
cling to them with fatal results. This
is source of great rejoicing among
the farmers in this vicinity, who lost
so heavily by the ravages of grasshop-

THE LARGEST SINGLE ORDER FOR
CREAM sEPARATORs EVER GIVEN.
A Noted Iowa Creamery Operator Or
ders Five Hundred at One Time.

w. /. Moody, Iowa's greatest creamery
operator, estimates that it costs an average
OF 10 cts. per 100 lbs to haul milk TO a cream
cry and haul the skim milk away again.
He is going to save all this by placing with
his patrons Dairy Separators, and have
wagons call for the cream.
In this way the farmer will get the full ad-
vantage of the Separator and creamery sys-
TENS will have the warm fresh skim milk
at home for stock feed and will not be at ex-
pense of carting his milk to a creamery.

ued at over S50,000 the merits of all the
were very thoroughly considered and prac-
tical tests were made by Mr.. Moody.

money, it was thought they were well worth
