As. 70 the Price of Lead.

I AT last we have information rs to
the cause of the present high price
Of lead. BY some profound pro-
cess of reasoning the editorial
writer of the Independent has made
the discovery and solcmnly an
nounces to his readers that the Ia
lor troubles in the mines of the
West are largely responsible for
the fact that Missouri lead miners
are receiving $2l per thousand for
mineral. We stand enlightened;
but, nevertheless, some good,
sound common-sense and fair
knowledge of what has transpired
in the lead market in the past two
and a half years, prevents us from
accepting the independents ex-
PLANTATION without limitations.
While the Dingley tariff law was
before the conference committee,
and for some time previous, lead
was down to $3.50 per hundred,
the lowest point reached in many
years. Local lead producers, Dem
ocrats as we'll as Republicans, adj
mitted that the adoption of the rate
of duty fixed in the Dingley bill
would raise the price of lead at
once, and they hung on the point
of anxiety until the conference
committee had passed upon the
lead schedule in its present form.
When the tariff went into effect
the price of lead at once rose thl ce-
quarters of cent pound. and since
then the rise has been steady, until
it reached S4.57l Il short time ago.
Thus, the initial impulse that has
sent lead to that figure came from
the Dingrey tariff and the general
business revival which followed
upon the heels of that law kept
the upward tendency in lead going.
The labor troubles in the Colora-
do mines only began few months
ago, after the legislature of that
State had passed an cight-hour Ia
Dor day law, which the miners are
trying to enforce by striking. At
the beginning of the trouble the
price of lead was already far above
4c and rising. In the profundity
of his reasoning the editorial writ
er Of the Independent has appar-
emily discovered that it was not the
tariff nor yet the improved bust
ness condition of the country, but
an anticipation of labor troubles in
the West, unforeseen by more than
two years, that has influenced and
stimulated the lead market. This
thinker further sees the ail-oppres-
sive hand of ''the trusts" in this
miners strike, and believes that
when organized labor in the mines
Of Colorado has been crushed by
the octopus, lead ''wi:l drop back
to about its old figure" the level
reached in the days of Democratic
tariff reform. The trusts, of
course, compelled the Bry ante leg
islature of Colorado to pass the
eight-hour law, and then compel
led the mine operators to refuse
the miners ten hours pay for eight
hours work, which completes the
the crushing process all round.
We fear we must yield the palm
Of argument Oh Tic lead question
to the editorial writer OF the Indie
pendent. His logic is becoming il
a little, just little, too dense.

LEWIS MILLER'S CAREER.
The Chautauqua Beneficiary Invented
Circular Sunday school System.


New York. Feb. 1S.-Iewis Miller of
Akron, O., one OF the founders of the
Chautauqua assembly, who died in
hospital here, was born in Greentown
o., seventy years ago. He learned the
trade of machinist and started a little
shop III Canton. He turned his attention
to agricultural machinery, and his NOW
er and reaper was practically the first
machine of its kind to work successful
IL. Then he turned his attention to
thra shing machines.
He made an enormous fortune for the
profit in agricultural machinery, up to
twenty years ago, was about 800 per
cent. He practically controlled the huge
plants of c. Aultman & Co. of Canton.
o., Aultman, Miller q Co. of Akron, and
Aultman. Miller 4 Co. Of Mansfield, O.
Mr.. Miller was the first to construct
the circular Sunday school room. with the
movable partitions, by which classes
could be separated or thrown together.
Out of this was evolved the idea of the
Chautauqua assembly, which he founded
IN 1874. He was it's only president. He
gave vast sums 20 the assembly and to
various religious and charitable institu-
tons.
Physically he was a giant, and his
mind was as strong as his body He was
one Of President McKmley's most init
mate friends

ORANGES ARE ALL RIGHT.
Reports of Great Damage by Cold in
the South Are Denied.

Jacksonville, Fla, Feb. 1S-The most
extravagant reports have been sent
broadcast throughout the country re-
garding the damage done by the cold of
the 18th.
Times-Un and Citizen from all sec
tons of the orange belt indicate that the
cold wave did not do much permanent
damage, and utterly refute the state
ments sent out to the press. Outside of
the tender spring growth on the orange
trees, the trees remain uninjured, and in
the lower belt it is predicted the orange
crop will be larger than ever this season.
Reports from the vegeta bic districts
say that truckers have gone to work
with great energy to replant, and the
spring output of market vegetables will
be equal to any season in the past.
