EUREKA

At Bullion, near where Samuel Wen
ban in times past took forty million
dollars, are located mines which give
promise of duplicating the wonderful
production of his famous Cortez mine.
Here are located a series of great veins
carrying attractive values which are
being exploited with highly satisfactory
results by the best engineering talent
backed by strong companies.

I. ". Kent, manager of the Dur
Glen Mining ~Company's property al
Dun Glen, reports that two new and
important strikes were recently made
on the company's estate. On the May
flower claim the ledge has been opened
up in a new place three feet wide and
the ore will average better than 5000
in gold and silver. 1t carries consider
able galena and the rock is fine concen-
trating material.
Messrs. Horner and Herlocker, two
Der of promising copper lodges near
Bottle Creek. on Jackson mountain, and
have commenced work on the property.
The ore is rich in the red metal.
In the workings on the Gold Bell
claim a new ledge was struck in an
upraise. The ledge is two feet wide
and assays of the ore range from SIS
to $50 in gold. The company is arrang-
ing to add several COMMENTATORS TO it's
and on the dumps a large tonnage of ore
which can be p~rofitably concentrated.

An unsavory Mess.

The more the Ohio senate committee
investigates Cincinnati affairs the more
unsavory the mess becomes, the great
er and more pungent the stencil in the
nostrils of the people. From the evi;
dence so far it appears that Boss Cox
had finger in every pie. The latest is
that he endeavored to influence judges
in their decisions in cases large enough
financially to arouse his interest. The
discoveries made already by the inves-
tigators thoroughly justify Hon. Will
liam H. Taft. secretary of war, in his
course during the last Ohio campaign
it will be remembered that in a public
speech at Akron he boldly unloaded
Cox. OF course the thick and thin par
ty organs mouthed a good deal about
his so doing. but he never apologized,
and now he is justified.

DC Secretary Taft am free to say that
ln my Judgment he would be making
monumental mistake to accept the as
sociate justiceship Of the supreme
court, desirable though that position
be. The highest political honor in this
world is the presidency Of the United
States. Secretary Taft has reason
able show of receiving the presidential
nomination at the hands of his party.
If the Republicans who favor rational
revision Of the tariff prevail in the con-
vention he is almost certain to be NAM
ed. If the stand patters prevail he will
not be nominated Even il nominated
he must run the risk of defeat at the
polls, but his chances of being nomi-
mated and elected to the presidency are
worth more than twenty-one years as
associate justice of the supreme court
That he would make an able and up
right judge there is no question He
has discharged with signal ability
every position he has held, state Judge,
federal judge, governor general Of the
Philippines and secretary Of war He
has already had a great career, and he
is only forty-nine.

Judoe Fuckers Great Speech.

Recently Judge W. w. Rucker of
Missouri delivered an exceedingly
strong speech in the house on the tariff
question. He presented official figures
which completely overthrow several of
the stand pat contentious. It's pity
that every voter in America cannot
read the judges speech, like old man
Harper of Kentucky used to run his
horses from eend to eend.n It would
be a great vote getter, because he so
thoroughly buttresses his proposition
with facts which cannot be denied that
his speech would of necessity create a
profound impression on the readers
thereof. OF course / have room here
only for brief extracts. Inter ALA the
judge said:
Apparently, almost persuaded by the
conclusions of Mr.. Curtis and thoroughly
and unalterably convinced by the irresist-
ible logic of his own argument. the gal
liant leader from Ohio EMr. Grosvenori,
after hurting a deliberate challenge to
gentlemen on the other side Of this ques-
ton, continued:
sit is the imperishabIe record of more
than 125 years that the American people
prosper under high tariffs and suffer un-
der low tariffs.''
I accept his challenge and deny the
propositions SO boldly asserted and SO
ingeniously and eloquently defended. Sta
tistics do not and viii not justify and sup
port the gentleman's contentious; but. on
the contrary, they conclusively, emphat-
ically and Overwhelmingly contradict
them. as shall attempt to show.
The Walker, or Democratic tariff en-
acted in 1886 was in force until 1851, when
an act was passed reducing tariff rates,
gentleman quotes, with approval the con-
illusions of Mr.. Curtis that the Walker
tariff was sruinous" and the act Of 1857
was Bankruptcy.
In 1861 the Morrill, bill, the first protec-
tive tariff law, was enacted, followed by
various other measures. each in turn in
creasing the rates of duty and giving
higher protection, which continued until
1870 Ths gentleman says these were all
beneficial
In 1870 still higher rates of duty were
imposed. In 1872 the tariff law was
amended and duties lowered to please re
formers as alleged, by making an in
furious reduction of 10 per cent
The act of 1872 was repealed in 1875, thus
restoring the high tariff law of 1870, which
continued in operation until 1883.
The commission appointed by President
Arthur In 1883 reported a measure maxi
ing slight reductions In the law OF 1870,
and this bill was passed and remained in
force until 1890, when the Mckinley bill,
imposing the highest rates up to that
date, was enacted.
In 1887 the Wilson-Gorman law was re-
peaIed and the Dingley bill enacted, which
is the highest tariff measure ever passed
by congress. This law is now In force,
and the gentleman says it is beneficial"
To sum the whole matter up in few
words. feel JUSTIFIED in saying we had
revenue tariffs from 1886 to 1861 and have
had protective tariffs since that date.
In this connection. Mr.. Chairman, will
read table prepared from official statis-
tics.

These figures show that from 1850 to
1860, under alleged ''ruinous and 'bank-
ruptcy'' tariff laws, our national wealth
increased over 1875 per cent; from 1860 to
1870, under moderate protection, it increas-
ed over Sc per cent; from 1870 to 1880, UNI
der higher tariff, little over As per cent;
from 1880 to 1890, under still higher tariff,
only 49 per cent, while from 1890 to 1900.
under the .benefcial influence of the
highest tariff we ever had. the increase
was only 45 per cent-the lowest per cent
of increase in any census period in fifty
years OF national life.
From 1850 to 1860. under Democratic tar
If, the value OF farm property increased
over 100 per cent, but from that time to
this hour the per cent Of increase in the
value of farm property has steadily de-
creased with each ten years until it was
only II per cent from 1890 to 1900-the low
est of any period in the last fifty years,
except that covering our great civil war.
These figures also show that in 1850 the
value of farm property in the United
States was $500. coo, more than one-half
Of the total wealth of this republic. In
1860 farm property represented nearly one
half Of our total wealth and In 1870 nearly
one-third With each succeeding period
since 1860 the tariff has leaped higher and
higher and the relative value of farm
property has sunk lower and lower, until
ii 1900 the value Of all farm property was
only little more than one-fifth Of our
national wealth.
In 1850 over IA per cent OF all the farms

products :. s13. e10, 0S6 5l4 $9.S72, S7S,843 1873
The increase from 1880 to 1890 in number
of establishments was 40 per cent; in cap
ital, 1898 per cent; average number OF
wage earners increased 55.6 per cent;
total wages increased 99.5 per cent; value
of products 74.5 per cent.
These are interesting statistics. To my
mind, they conclusively refute the argu-
ment that a protective tariff is essential
and necessary to maintain confidence and
keep alive the fires in furnaces and make
the wheels Of industry revolve. They
show that from 1850 to 1890. most Of the
time under the operation OF q tariff ems
acted as alleged, to '.conciliate revision
ists,' and condemned by the gentleman
from Ohio [Nfr. Grosvenor1 as Injurious,
capital seeking investment in manufactur-
ing industries increased over 1873 per cent,
while in the ten years following, under
the salutary and beneficial influences of
the Dingley tariff, the increase IN capital
thus invested was only 50 per cent. They
show more than this. The value of the
output or products of our manufacturing
concerns increased over "a per cent be-
tween 1880 and 1890 and only 50 per cent
between 1890 and 1900.
True, we had protective tariff from
1880 to 1896 as well as from 1880 to 1900 but
it Is also true that the average rate OF
duty was much higher during the latter
period. What then, becomes OF the ar
gument that high tariff is necessary to
stimulate and encourage manufacture
These statistics prove that protected IN
dustries were more attractive to capital
and thrived better under a lower tariff
than they do under the higher schedules
OF the Dingley law.

Secretary Taft and the Supreme Bench.
Judging from press reports, Hon.
William H. Taft, secretary of war, has
come to the parting of the ways be-
tween political career and a judicial
one. 1t is said that he is puzzled as
to his choice. The story runs that he
can succeed Mr.. Justice Brown on the
supreme bench II he will agree so to
do, but there's the rub. If he goes on
the bench, then, according to the prece-
dents, his chances of becoming presi-
dent go glimmering; for, while ever
since the foundation of the government
there has generally been some member
of that exalted tribunal with weather
eye on the White House, not one has
succeeded In even securing presi-
Dental nomination. Some of them,
notably Chief Justice Chase, lived mis-
cradle and died bitterly disappointed
because presidential lightning never
struck him. Judge David Davis Of Illi-
nois resigned from the supreme bench
to accept seat in the senate Of the
United States, hoping thereby to reach
the presidency, but it availed him moth
ing. A few men have declined seats on
the supreme bench, among them the.
lordly Roscoe Conkling, but these you
may count on the fingers of one hand
without counting twice. One supreme
judge, Benjamin r. Curtis, resigned to
return to the practice Of law Judge
Campbell Of Louisiana threw in his lot
with the Confederacy and thereby va
Gated his place.
1t is said that If Secretary Tart ac-
cepts an associate justiceship he is to
be the chief Justice when Melville w.
Fuller retires or dies provided he does
either during President Roosevelt's adj
ministrat ton but there is no assurance
that be will do either, though, being
now three years past the psalmist's al
lotment, he is liable to do both. or
course the chief justiceship is more
alIuring bait than an associate Justice
ship. The emoluments are only little
in excess, but the honor is greater.

there are eight associates. While I am

The harmony among Republicans, OF
which we hear so much and see so lit
tie, like the peace Of God, passeth all
understanding. The house Republican
leaders and the senate Republican lead
ers are at daggers' points. More power
to their arms! My genial friend, Hon.
James e. Watson of Indiana, Republic
an house whip, while suffering from
bad case of muIlagrubs emitted the fol-
lowing significant words: 'sThe senators
have emasculated our railroad rate bill,
have killed our Philippine tariff meas

our statehood BILL James was there

fellows. 1t IS said that every time Mr..

Is mentioned to Mr. Speaker Cannon
that eminent Republican functionary
uses language which is calculated to
cause his excommunication from the
church. Republican feuds in Tennessee
are so acute that President Roosevelt
has taken hand, SO the quid nuncs say,
as peacemaker. He is seeking the un-
attainable. He can no more establish
peace betwixt those bellicose Republic
an tomcats, Colonel Henry Clay Ev-
ans and Congressman w P. Brownlow,
than he can induce water and oil to
mix. He can arrange no modus vivendi
betwixt those palpitating patriots.
They hate each other worse than either

Of the man who interfered betwixt a
husband and wife when they were en-
deavoring to settle a question Of do
mestic economy by INDUCING in a
game of fsticuffs. Both turned on the
volunteer peacemaker and gave him a
good pommeling. The one thing on
which Brownlow and Evans agree is to
disagree, and the best thing anybody
can do is to leave them to their own
devices.
