ZINC MINING AND L A r.
IFF TAXIN

The protectionists are up to their
old vain tricks again in the lead and
zinc section of Wisconsin. For near
Iy fifty years they have attempted to
delude the miners by economic sophia-
tries; and it is evident that they are
still doing business at the old stand.
In the Platteville newspapers of last
week there appears an article which
aminates from the Zinc Ore Tariff Club
of Joplin, Mo. 1t is in the form of
an interview with Joseph Aldrich, an
owner of mines in Missouri and Mex
leo: and the object sought by its publi-
cation is to create a sentiment in favor
of putting a protective tariff on zinc
both the mine owner and the mine
worker. To the mine owner he holds
up vision of vast bodies of rich ores
in Mexico, which can be easily and
cheaply mined and marketed; while he
tells the worker that labor can be had
in Mexico almost without price; and
further claims that he knows that if
the zinc ore is allowed to come into
the United States from Mexico as at
present his property in Joplin will be-
fore long not be worth % cents on the
dollar. He wants to erect a tariff bar
rier so high that the Mexican ores
will be driven to European markets.
The Democrat suggests that the
publication of Mr.. Aldrichs' sweeping
statements and calamitous views in
the Platteville papers, without dis
count or explanation, places the edi-
tors of those papers In a rather awk-
ward position. For years they have
been saying that the great need of
southwestern Wisconsin is capital to
develop the fairness of mines. Now they
virtually say that unless the general
government lends a helping hand and
imposes an import duty on zinc ores
the mines might as we'll be abandoned.
But no thoughtful man will be scared
by these noisy apostles of calamity.
Every Wisconsin mine that is mine,
and there are very many of them,-is
really valuable property, and can be
readily sold at a good price to men
who have neither hope nor fear of the
government placing q tariff on zinc
ores. And it is we'll known that mine
operators In Mexico must secure their
miners from Europe or the United

power of the administration by "judi
cial construction" instead of by law
of congress-; they are going to revise
the tariff so that the rates will be
equal to the difference between the
cost of articles in foreign countries
and at home, and at the same time
produce enough revenue for the ex-
penses of the government, and the
people are going to put stop to
deficits in government revenues crea
ted for the purpose of an excuse to
maintain high rates of tariff: they
are going to enlarge the power of the
interstate railroad commission so
that railroad corporations may be
compelled to perform their duties as
common carriers, and to prevent
discrimination and extortions; they
are going to provide financial Sc
curity to the country and thus avoid
panics such as have caused the failure
of 43 national banks under Roose-
veIt's administrations; they are going
to enforce the letter of the constitu
ton that every man charged with a
crime shall enjoy the constitutional
right of trial by jury; they are
going to establish by law depart
ment of Labor to be represented in the
Presidents cabinet by secretary,
and which shall include the subject of
mines and mining.
These are not all the things the peo-
pie are going to do for themselves in
the coming election; but they are
among the more important ones, and
we admonish any political party that
openly opposes these things which the
people are now asking for, to prepare
their minds and hearts for disappOint-
ment when the votes are counted.
All these several proposed benefits
for the people are included in the
democratic platform, and they are in
spring the determination of the peo-
pie in every state in the Union; and
there is no specious argument by full
some, subsidized opposition that can
stay the tide and roll back the tidal
wave. REPUBLICAN OBSERVER.

LaFoIIette and the Tariff.

Charlotte Observer, Dem: Senator
La Toilette is supporting Taft, but he
makes bold to laugh at some Repub-
lican campaign talk. The Wisconsin
"Progressive" finds exquisite humor
in the idea of Investigating the tariff
with a view to its revision, through
the senate finance committee on ways
and means. Republican membership
of the finance committee is composed
of such stalwart tariff reform cham
pions as Messrs. Aldrich or Oil
drich), Burrows, Hansbrough, Hale,
Hopkins and Penrose. The house
ways and means committee is domi-
mated by such equally Stalwart tariff
reformers as Payne, Dalzell, Hill of
Connecticut, Watson of Indiana and
Mrs. Alice's husband. Senator La
Toilette might further have taken
notice that the promised currency re-
form must come, if through any Re-
publican source, by way of Senator
Aldrich and the commission of his
own choice with which he is now
junketing through Europe.

The Madisonian is discussing the
tariff question in very effective
way, namely; by showing up the un-
necessary burdens placed upon local
Industries by the schedules of the Din
gley law. If the newspapers of Wis
consin, both Democratic and Republi-
can, would follow the example of the
Madisonian in this regard they would
render a real patriotic public service.

CannOn's Bad Record.

Philadelphia Public Ledger, Ind:
Speaker Cannon is in the position of
the man of power who has practically
opposed everything good, bad and
Indifferent, and his power as speaker
has been used most effectively, if not
automatically. The difficulty
OF Speaker Cannon's position is that
in a radical year, when the people are
showing their power to rule and their
purpose to do it, he appears to have
been against everything that ever was
proposed, including many meritorious
reforms. He has been a lifelong
defender OF the spoils system and a
consistent foe to the civil service re-
form; he was against the irrigation
and reclamation of the great west; he
is opposed to measures providing for
the conservation of the forest pre-
serves; he was against the pure food
bill, and has raised up so many kinds
of enemies and opponents that he is
becoming the spectacular figure in
the national campaign His
position as a candidate for speaker is
imperiled

Mexico and Canada have been suggested as the home of a new holding company. Such intimations only amuse those who are really posted on laws governing 1or- eign corporations doing business In the United States. The restrictions are such that the Standard, as a trust could not hope to operate advantageously under a foreign charter If the case goes against the Standard-and the world should know from the supreme court Of the United States before next May-there IS one plea that might be made even to the highest of the United States courts. The Standard need not divide itself into 50 or more corporations. The government, 1t is declared, is not inclined to be arbitrary. If the Standard should come into court "hands up'' and declare that 1t desired Instructions as to the division of the enor- nous Jersey corporation the court would probably feel called upon to work out some plan.
 It is said that there could be no legal ob- lection to all the seaboard pipe lines com ing under one corporate head and man agernent Nor could there be valid ob- lection against the Kansas wells being owned collectively. The government hnds its alleged conspiracy in restraint Of trade in the fact that one highly watered, overcapitalzed trust-able to make divi- dends of 80 per cent year, has control of the entire business from the moment the crude oil gushes from the wells until 1t is refined and shipped abroad.

Thomasville, Ga, December 5.-(Special) The long and sensational trial of w. H. Mitchell accused of abduction and at tempt at criminal assault upon Miss Lu- cile Linton, came to an end this after noon, the jury bringing in verdict Of assault"
 The case was given to the jury last night, and this morning at 10 o'clock Judge Roan called the 12 men into court to ascertain if a verdict had been reached. Receiving a negative answer the Jury was returned to the jury room.
 Shortly after l o'clock this afternoon the jury came in with the verdict as above announced.
 Judge Roan thereupon sentenced Nit chell to 12 months imprisonment. Notice of an appeal for a new trial was made by the defense.
 When the verdict was announced Nit chell arose and said:
 Judge, thank you sincerely for your impartiality in this case l think that the jury did the best they could. Thes5 has been web of circumstantial evil dence about me that l was unable to control.
 ''I am not guilty of this crime l have lived two score and 10 years and have conducted myself as I thought honest and honorable. The rest of the time that God allows will be spent in living down this verdict and to prove to the world that this verdict Is wrong"

TALK OF Fort on GUILD
Two Governors Considered for
Second Place on Republican Ticket.
TAFT LOOKING FOR RUNuIAG RA1EI
When Ohio and Iowa Swung in Limo
the War Secretary He Began to
Look over the Available Vice Pres-
dental Candidates.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Feb. H.
II Is learned here that j. Franklin
Fort, governor of New Jersey. and
Curtis Guild. jr., governor OF Massa-
chusetts, are being seriously consid-
cred In administration circles for the
second place on the ticket with Sec
rotary Taft. Heretofore the atten-
ton of administration Republican has
been so strongly conferred on the race
for first place that little thought has
been given TO the question OF can
didate for vice president but so great
Is the confidence now felt bY them
regarding the success of Mr.. Taft In
the Chicago convention that the dis
cussion ls turning to the second place.
The advocates of the Roosevelt pol
icies have for some time regarded
Governor Fort as coming man In
the party. The nomination OF Mr..
Taft would, It Is generally thought.
call for an Eastern man for second
place. and Governor Fort Is declared
to be especially we'll qualified for the
place. VI is asserted that his eight
years "trvlce In the Supreme Court
OF New Yjersey has given him expert
ence With the law and judicial tenn
perameht to n degree most desirable
in the man who might be called to
the highest office in the land, while
the views which Governor Fort en-
tertains on public questions arc In
accord with those of Secretary Taft
and the President. II will be recalled
that President Roosevelt took occa-
sion TO include In his last message to
Congress n considerable extract from
Governor Forts inaugural address. in
which the governor expressed his con
victions regarding the relation of the
state to corporations.
The suggestion of Governor Warner
OF Michigan that Curtis Guild. jr..
governor of Massachusetts be named
for second place has also heen re-
ceived favorably In circles friendly to
Secretary Taft, and It Id possible that
there may be developments along
that line.
Governor Guild Is well and fayora-
bly, known in the West, having made
an extensive campaign trip with Mr..
Roosevelt. then candidate for vice
president, in 1900.
Governor Guild Is of about the
Presidents age, and in addition t.
having been n stanch supporter OF
President Mckinley. Is heartily In
sympathy with the Roosevelt policies.
The discussion OF candidate for
second place really dates from the
day when news was received from
the Ohio primaries which indicated
that Secretary Taft would have the
solid delegation of Ohio behind him
in the Chicago convention. but it Is
not so directly due to that fact as ia
its consequences. No sooner did II
become known that Ohio would be
solid for Taft than news was receiv-
ed from Iowa that Mr.. Taft would be
supported by It's solid delegation, and
the most encouraging information has
also been coming from many other
sections.
