The Democratic organ up the
street, because the price of lead
has fallen off a little, intinates that
This decline will cause Republicans
to maintain silence about the effect
iveness of a protective tariff in
keeping up the price Of This CON-
modify. This conclusion is, Of
| course, hasty one, apparently
reached without forcthought,
1t is not two years since that
under the Democratic tariff reform
law the price of lead reached a
point so low that the miners con
sideled it Improbable to spend
their time in mining for it.
At this time many Democrats,
some of whom are even now
taking IN active part in local poll
tics, expressed themselves to the
writer us recognizing the value Of
an import duty ON lead in protect
ing our mining industry aud rails
ing the price of the metal in the
markets. These men at the time
the tariff bill was pending in Con
gress expressed the hope tina, the
1c duty on lead ore woul remain
incorporated in the bill when it
became a law, which it did.
1t is true, the price of lead, like
theprice of any commodity, is rc9u-
lated by supply and demand: but the
tariff law created the demand for
American lead by shutting out the
Mexican article, which was thrown
upon the market as by-product Of
the silver mines; and then further
enlarged. <the home market by
a revival in American industries
and an increase in consumption.
No, Republicans don't propose
to let the temporary decline in the
price of lead shut them up on this
subject. Lead won't drop to any
where near what it did back yon-
der in the days of Grover while we
arc enjoying progressive Republi-
Gun rule.
We would ask the organ up the
street to state positively to the
miners Of Washington County
whether it advocates the repeal of
the 1c duty on lead, and also
whether the nominees on the DEM
ocratic county ticket favor such
repeal2

THE local political campaign
this year will be of more decisive
character than the contest of two
years ago. Notwithstanding the
fact thst 1895 was a presidential
year. In that year the Republi-
cans carried the county by a ma
jority Of So votes, which may be
presumed to be the normal party
majority; but in that year the
Democrats elected nearly half of
their county ticket hy the aid of
Republican votes. This result has
naturally encouraged the Demo-
Gratis in the hope that Republican
supremacy can be overthrown this
year and they will make a strenuous
effort to bring this about. The
result Of the forthcoming election
is, therefore, anxiously watched
by partisaus on both sides. While
the Democrats will thus make a
supreme effort to regain political
eostrol of the county the Republi-
cans will not stand idly by to wit
ness the overthrow of their party.
We belive the latter have already
figured up the net results gained
by aiding Democrats to Office and
have found them too small to throw
them in the balance against the
Republican nominees in the pres.
ept contest,
