which to reciprocate, and no W ithheld con-
concessions which we could grant.
Protection and reciprocity open up
different view Protection throws shell
tering arm about the mutiform industries
of our people. When q friendly nation
desires the benefits of our markets, she
offers similar privileges to our citizens, an
opening is made for her entrance COM
mercial union is established, clamorous
competitors are restrained and mutual
prosperity ensues.
The single instance Of Argentina proves
at once the baneful effects of so-called free
trade reciprocity. In 1890 the export from
the United States to Argentina we're SIS,
500, and imports from Argentina $5,40l,-
697, leaving the balance of trade in our
favor So, 900, $50, while for the year ending
July 80. 1897, the exports were 1884,
9S4, and the imports S1O,772,6 1927, making
the balance of trade against us 81, 3S7 ,643,
making net decrease to our detriment of

Truly free trade is not reciprocity. Ar
gentina' threatened tariff retaliation will
rebound to her own disadvantage if such u
policy is executed.

The Wool Record.l

The Wool Record.l
The late financial panic that was felt SO
palpably in financial circles, really bore
more heavily on the wool industry than on
any other. The price of wool declined
nearly so per cent. between 1890 and 1885.
In this period United States markets were
opened to the free Importation Of foreign
woods. Australia produced in 1857 3d.
000, 900 pounds; in 1898, $50. 100000, an
increase Of 1888 per cent. Argentina in
1857, 10000, OC0 pounds; in 1893, no.
600, 900 pounds, an increase Of 1000 per
cent. The Cape of Good Hope produced
10000, 900 pound in 1857, and in 1898, So
600, 900, an increase Of 400 per cent. The
worlds supply of wool now is six times as
great as in 1860.
With American markets open to this
immense supply, the price Of wool
must necessarily decline, but under the
restrictive tariff of 1890 importations of
wooden sod were checked and the plice
of wool declined less in the United States
than elsewhere. The decrease in two years
in the importation Of wooden goods was
equivalent to decrease of 57,1lS,567
pounds of wool. This decrease in the sup
ply Of foreign woods increased the demand
for native woods. Thu. protective duty
onwools benefits the American wool grower
in two ways at once: First, by enlarged
sales, and second, by better prices.
When in 1893 free wool was imminent,
the tide Of woolen imports began to turn
until they increased from $19,219,0 94, in
1894, to s49,9SS,472 during the nine
months ending March 81, 1896. In 1894,
while awaiting tariff legislation, business
languished, until in 1895 tariff legislation
discriminating against the American wool
grower and manufacturer in foreign lands.
There we're $50, 900 0O0pounds more wool,
raw and manufactured, imported for the
year ending Aug. 81, 1895, than in the
year ending Aug. 81, 1894. American
wool g overs were deprived of marke
equal to this excess Of importations, and
American prices declined. The wholesale
slaughter of improbable sheep vas the
inevitable result of free wool.
The paramount law of supply and de-
mand can never be abrogated, but the
supply of home demand by native woods
can be fostered, and the monopoly OF
American markets by foreign woods can be
prevented by such tariff legislation as the
bill of 1890, and that whose benefits ne
now enjoy.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER Z, 1897.
FALSE ISSUES.

If there is anything the Virginia Dem
ocrscy is successful at it is coming before
the people on false or dead issues. Its
State platform for this year and the
speeches Of its candidates for State offices
disclose the fact that this campaign is to
be made on questions that are essentially
national in their character, that do not re-
late to our internal affairs as Common.
wealth.
In 1896 the Virginia Democracy con-
tended that the tariff question had moth
ing to do with the Presidential election,
that it VAS settled question and that the
free, unlimited coinage Of silver was the
paramount issue. That position was
taken by the Democracy to attract atten-
ton from the disastrous tariff legislation Of
the Democratic Congress. They knew
they could not stand before the people
and make sny satisfactory defense Of the
unsuccessful and destructive tariff leGisla-
ton of the Democracy. Nothing Was left
them to do but jump upon the Populist
platform and unite with all the dissatisfied
and discordant elements that rallied to the
support of Mr. Bryan. This the Virginia
Democracy did with an earnestness that
almost approached sincerely. They dbl
not hesitate to abandon Mr.. Cleveland and
the platform upon which he was elected
and advocate principles they had before
affected to despise.
Power and place is what the Virginia
Democracy Graves, what it will have, even
if it has TO be inconsistent and insincere.
In the national election last year the Bry-
antics in Virginia insisted that the tariff
was false issue, now they contend, in this
State election, that it is vital one, if We
are to judge them by their platform and
the utterances of their stump orators.
This position is taken to attract the at
tention Of the voters from the questions Of
honest election laws and a proper reform
in the administration Of our State affairs.
The silver question and the tariff question
have nothing whatever to do with this
election. They are purely issues off, ma
tiona character that were settled in most
decided way by the voters of the United
States in the national election Of 1896.
That emphatic decision was fer protection
and sound money. In the face of this de.
cree Of the people, and the positive evil
dence that is given by improved business
conditions that the Democratic position on
the money question was unsound, the Vir-
ginia Democracy insists upon making its
fight this year on the money and tariff
questions.

THE REPUBLICAN, STATE TICKET.


We have but scant news rs yet from the
Republican convention which met at
Lynchburg on the 9Th inst, in response to
the call of Col. VIM. Lamb, who claimed
to be chairman Of the party in Virginia.
1t is said that over eight hundred dele
gates were present, and that harmony pre-
vailed in all the proceedings. Hon. Jacob
Yost, the Republican Congressman from
the tenth district, was permanent chair
man Of the convention.
The convention has placed before the
people Of Virginia one Of the best tickets
that We have known. While none of the
gentlemen who were nominated are men
of great ability, they are the equal in that,
and in all other respects, of the candidates
of the Democratic party. The Hon. P.
II. McCaull was nominated for governor,
Gen. o. B. Roller, of Rockingham county,
for lieutenant governor, and the Hon. Jas.
Lyons for encouragement. They are
men of splendid character, excellent at
tainments, true and tried Republicans and
will receive the votes Of the great mass Of
the Republican party in the State. The
Bowden- Brady faction can make no ap-
peals, sufficiently strong, to the rank and
file to prevent them from casting their
ballots on election day for McCaull, Roller
and Lyons. The ticket may be irregular,
but it is composed of Ia,publicans and
worthy men, and Req dcans will and
should support it.

Nobody who voted for Mckinley has
been heard to complain during the last
sixty days of the result of that vote. Since
the enactment of the protective tariff,
which the election of Mckinley assured,
manufacturers have resumed on full time,
with increased wages in many cases; BUSH
ness houses report their sales larger than in
any year before Mckinley times, and the
only complaint which the banks have to Of
fer is that they can not find enough custo-
mers for the money which they have to loan.

Mr.. JAMES w. SMITH announces him
self an independent candidate for the
House of Delegates to represent Tazewell
county in the next General Assembly. He
ststes that he is for protection and nom

they are not likely to bite, as it is we'll un-
dergtood that Mr.. Smith has become a
candidate at the instance of the Demo
Gratis who were afraid to run one of their
own men, and suffer the defeat which is
sure to come. Republicans in Tazewell

workingman should have. They talk one
way to the farmers and sing q different
gong to the workingmen.

Reciprocity and Free Trade.
The Wool Record.1


Reciprocity is not free trade and con-
versely free trade is not reciprocity.
Free trade would open American ports
to all the nations of the world, without
discrimination or favor, discretion or
regulation, hence if all nations had all the
privileges of our markets and our trade,
there could be no further concession ex-
tended to friendly people seeking come
requital for privileges granted US. No bar
can be removed where no barriers exists.
A bird cannot fly without air to beat with
his wings. A fish can never swim unless
there be water to resist his exertions. No
victory can be won without struggle. A
railroad pass would never be sought were
passage given without charge, and SO ne,
as a nation, could have no reciprocity
under free trade, as We would have re-
served no commercial privileges with

HAMILTON MINES.

|. C. Moon returned Sunday from
Hamilton, where he has been setting
up ten-horse power gasoline hoisting
engine in the McEllin mine and reports
that property in fine condition. The
engine is placed in the mine at the end
of a 300 foot tunnel where a shaft has
already been sunk about hundred feet
by means of a windlass. Now that the
roads are likely No be soon blocked by
snow, making further shipments of ore
impossible for the winter, it is the inten-
ion of the owners to continue sinking on
this shaft and explore the ground sew
eral hundred feet deeper. The mine
has produced some remarkably rich ore
this summer and the owners have netted
fine profit from theirl shipments.
During the week ending Dec. 3, they
shipped 80, 900 pounds of ore over the
e. & p. railroad which has been about
the average all summer.
The Homestake mine, which is be-
ing worked under lease by Alex. Muir,
VIM. Matson and others, has also proved
itself a fine producer of high grade lead
and silver ore and has been making
shipments of about 15 tons regularly
every five days for some weeks. If the
work on these mines this winter dis
closes additional bodies of high grade
ore, Hamilton may wake up and join
Ely and Cherry Creek in general re-
vival.

CHAIRMAN MILL STARTED.

The Chairman mill was started Tues
day morning and the ears of visitors
were greeted by the rhythmic thud of
the stamps. More men were put at
work and the whole works were scene
of activity. The power is furnished by
the larger of the two sets of boilers re-
Gently purchased by the company and
handles all of the machinery OF the mill
without difficulty. Work is being
rapidly pushed on the stone-work about
the other set of boilers and carpenters
are busy completing the boiler-house.
AS in all new plants, Irregularities oc-
CURED which it will take few days to
adjust, but within day or two, we can
expectlt ltoIseelthe wheels begin to turn
in earnest and steady run begun.
In the mine there are only about
twelve men working at present, owing
to the fact. that the ore has so accumu-
lated in the drifts that it is impossible
to work many men toadvantage but as
soon as the ore which has already been
knocked down is sufficiently diminish
ed, the force will besllargely Increased.
The shaft will be sunk below the water
level and the deposit of ore will be
probed tolthe bottom in search of the
hidden treasure. In fact, this whole
plant has been erected at cost of prob
ably $75,0 900 for the purpose of thor
oughly prospecting the mine and test
ing the milling qualities of the ore.
There are immense bodies of good ore
already in sight and blocked out above
the water level, but what quantities
and values may be found below the
water level is still matter of con-
lecture. The faith of Mr.. Bliss and his
principal, Mr.. Lane, in the magnitude
of the mine is clearly proven by the
enormous sum which they have already
expended in getting ready to explore
it. The outcome is awaited by the
people of this vicinity with an anxiety
born of the knowledge that on the sue
cess or failure of this enterprise de-
pends the future OF the camp. But
failure does not seem possible and
should success crown the efforts of the
company, Ely is bound to be the big
gest camp in eastern Nevada, except
