Senator Stones Good Lead.

No pun was intended when this
headline was written. Is was written
only In commendation OF Senator
Stones good leadership in broad
movement In which other Senator'S
and Representatives in Congress
must follow before the tariff, on
which the Government depends for
hall OF its revenues. can be made
anything but patchwork OF local
interests In which the shrewdest bar.
gamer gets the best Of IL.
In refusing 30 vote for retention OF
the Dingley tariff on lead ores simply
because they are an important Mis-
souri, product. Senator Stone breaks
away from the evil tradition that
Senator'S and Representatives must
be ever alert to get something" for
their constituents out OF national
legislation.
In doing this Senator Stone is true
to the traditions OF Missouri Democ-
racy, to the people OF the State and
to the lead miners themselves. For
It's best prosperity the lead.mining
industry OF Missouri does not need
tariff protection, unless to stimulate
the working OF low grade ores, which
had better be left to become the sup
ply OF the future when the richer ores
are exhausted. At any rate, the lead
deposits OF Missouri need no such ex.
travagsnt protection as the Dingley
rates, which both the Senate and the
House have reenacted.
Even II they did, why should the
farmers OF Missouri, who get only
sham protection, the professional
men, merchants, mechanics and 9th
or wage. earners who get no protec-
tion at all continue a bounty to the
lead miners? To Missourians not In
the lead.mining industry 1t is nc
more fair to exact OF them tax ior
the sole benefit OF Missouri miners
than II is to make them pay tribute
to the iron and steel makers or ia
