HINT CONTAINED IN FALLING
MARKET.

Following a gradual climb, due to
Increasing demand equal to or greater
han the supply, lead reached $5l0 a
hundred pounds shortly before the
general election of November 5. Ac-
,ording to the current market reports

red. The decline began very soon
after it was known that Wilson had
been elected president, and that the
democratic party. pledged to tariff re-
vision downward, would have work
ing majority in the United States SEN
ate and house of representatives.
The fall in the price of lead is signi-
ficant, and its significance becomes
magniiied as one considers facts IN
connection. There never was a time
when the demand for lead was so
great as in the past few months. En-
tensive buyers of raw material placed
no limit, apparently, upon the amount
they accumulated, and bought as free
ly with. the market advancing steadily
as before the advance began. But with
the very day that the results of cleo
ton were known, their policy was
changed and buying became lighter.
This quickly resulted in an increase Of
the product of the lead mines being
offered, and the visible supply has
continued to increase, with a greatly
decreased demand The drop in price
of about 20 cents per hundred pounds,
or s14 ton, represents the loss Of q
very considerable amount to the own
ers Of large producing lead mines

IDAHO is LOYAL.

Four years from this time. when
everybody has had enough of democ-
racy, and all are anxious to help bring
about return to control by the re-
publicans, Idaho will be in an enviable
position. She will have no apologies
to offer; she will be represented in the
United States senate and house of
representatives by republicans, and
while they may be temporarily in the
minority party, they will be heard
from when necessary. Other states
may fare better in the distribution of
political plums, but that is minor
consideration. Idaho is tending strict
~ to her own affairs, and has elected
a competent and trustworthy set of
state officials and representatives at
the national capital to look after the
details of those affairs. She will wor-
ry along through most everything
that can be handed out and be a
model for other states to look to with
envy, and it is to be hoped, profit

EAT MORE MUTTON.

The secretary of agriculture urges
the American people to eat more NUT
ton and less beef, because as he says,
Mutton on the hoof is less than half
the price of beef" The advice is good
comments the American Economist,
adding: BY all means eat more mutton
not alone because of it's relative cheap
ness. but for its real nutritive value.
Eat low priced mutton while you can.
1t will not be for long, If the free trad :
ers carry out their plan of reducing
the tariff on wool as to discourage the
sheep growing. Wien American far
mers have stopped growing sheep, as
they surely will when. there is no long
er any profit in wool and when the
flocks now In existence shall have been
sent to the butchers block for food be-
cause it does not pay to breed or keep
them for their wool, then mutton will
cease to be cheaper than beef Both
meats will be higher in price than the
beef now is. The only way to have
cheap mutton Is to make it an object
for American farmers to breed more
sheep and that is by making 1t profit

MEANS MUCH TO IDAHO.
(From Mining Science)


1t is now apparent that the country
is to face another period of congress-
ional action upon the tariff The in
coming president, Mr.. Wilson, will
summon an extra session of congress
in March to proceed with a revision of
the revenue law. To mining men this
is Of special interest, since the tariff
protection on lead and zinc has been
threatened for some time aling with
the protection upon other articles The
present congress would perhaps have
completed some of it's work in this di-
rection during the coming winter but
the prospect of an immediate change
Of administration will probably deter
it from pursuing the tariff question
further. An entire overhauling of the
tariff schedules next spring seems in
evitable.
The zinc industry for the last year
has perhaps been the most prosperous
of the metal mining branches in the
west. The disturbances in Mexico
have been primary cause of this, ow-
ing to the reduction in the ore output
from that country. On top of this, the
! demand from the galvanized iron and
brass industries has been the greatest
of long period of years; while the
smelter capacity of the United States
has not been sufficient to meet the re-
quirements. High prices have been the
j rule, much higher than have been
known before in really modern history.
1t would be a mistake to ascribe these
prices to the tariff, for the condition
of the spelter market has been a world
wide condition. Nevertheless it is
likely that the high prices will be used
as an argument to remove the tariff
with little reference to the exceptional
facts that have created them. 1t Is to
be hoped that the policy Of gradual re-
duction will become the standard pol
icy of the Wilson administration.
No doubt determined fight will be
made to prevent any radical reduction
in the tariff, on lead. Idaho and Mis-
. souri,, together with the two large
smelter interests, have much to look
for under this head. At the forthcom-
ing session of the American Mining
congress, to be held in a region of ex-
, tensive lead production, this topic will
certainly command first attention.

A GOOD TIME FOR DISPLAYS.

The suggestion has been made and
is being strongly urged by the board
of trade and others who are prepar-
ing for the reception of the mining
men next Saturday, that every store
window in Wallace be made a display
window for the purpose of exhibiting
samples of the minerals and ores
found in the district.
The displays would attract the at
tention Of all the visitors. even If they
are not extensive. In the smaller or
more crowded windows, a few choice
specimens of galena or copper ore
would be sufficient, while in the larger
ones, nothing more attractive or in
structive could be thought of than a
varied collection of ore samples; the
larger each sample and the more var
led the display, the better.
The visitors will probably expect
something of the sort. The samples to
make up the displays will be easy to
obtain and their arrangement in an
attractive way will prove very easy
1t is to be hoped that the suggestion
will be generally adopted, for the ben
efits to be derived are worth the effort
many times over.

NORTH IDAHO SHOULD FURNISH
SUCCESSOR TO HEPBURN.

The Miner believes, with very
large majority of the republicans in
the northern part of the state, and
many from the southern part, who
have given public expression to their
views, that the senator to be elected
by the general assembly as successor
to the late Senator Hepburn should
come from the north, There Is no
question of Senator Borahs reelec-
-tion. and this will be equally pleasing
to all Idaho citizens, those Of the north
as well as Of the south Senator
Borah is a southern Idaho man, and 1t
is but just that his colleague should
be chosen from the opposite end OF
the state
This would be a fact, even under
ordinary conditions There are in ad-
dition, however, reasons that make 1t
incumbent upon the legislature to
elect a northern Idaho man more than
in ordinary cases. The interests of
the people of the northern counties OF
Idaho are peculiar in their relations
