livered to the Venezuelan government

The Tomahawk of Denver makes the
following somewhat vigorous remarks
touching one Of the multitude of small
and large iniquities of the Dingley bill:
1t is quite obvious that those who advo-
cate the policy of the high protectionists
are not aware of the many Inconsistencies
of the present tariff law, some of which
seriously affect the mining interests of
this country. Take, for example, blasting
caps, on which there is specific duty Of
$2.36 per 1000, or 125 per cent on the actual
selling price of tripleX caps in Europe
On percussion caps the duty is 80 per
cent, SO that If man goes on pleasure
trip hunting ducks he is taxed only 30 per
cent, while to make his living in mining
1t costs him 125 per cent. Besides, this
outrageous privilege is granted to two
small factories. one in California, the
other in New Jersey, and 1t cannot bene-
fit American labor. because most of the
work is done by machinery; the illuminate
Of mercury is imported from Canada, and
