DEMOCRACY AND THE TARIFF.

Senator Culberson gives it as his
opinion that the revision of the tariff
along democratic lines will be the
principal business of the first session
Of congress to convene under the in
coming democratic administration
Just What the senator meant by
democratic lines" he failed to state.
Some democrats believe in revising
the tariff one way and some another.
Then there are some who do not be-
lieve in any tariff at all, but advocate
the doctrine Of free trade and sailors
rights" We have them in Bryan,
good democrats too, original Wilson
men and warm supporters of Mr. Viii
son all through his campaign.
They would tear down the custom
houses, do away with the tariff and
levy direct tax to raise revenue for
the support of the government. Presi-
dent-elect Wilson, be it known, has
strong free trade predictions, but it
Is hardly probable that he will advo-
cate or recommend in his message SO
radical change in our system of gov
eminent.
In the opinion of The Eagle, di-
rect tax would fail in the very OBJ
jecs its advocates claim for 1.-THE
shifting of the burden from the shout
ders of the poor to the shoulders of
the rich. In our judgment this is the
very thing it would not do. 1t would
be just as it is today, or more SO.
The poor mans little home is open
and above board and can not possibly
escape, while the rich man can al
ways find hole in which he can hide
from one-half to two-thirds of his
possessions. Under such a system the
matter of tax lodging would become
one of the fine arts, and the rich,
with their skilled attorneys, their Of
ficers and managers, their wheels
within wheels, would escape with
their loot and the poor devils would
be left with the bag to hold.
There are many rich men who own
no visible, tangible property outside
of their homes. Their wealth is in
notes, accounts, stocks, bonds and
cold cash How are you going to get
it, on the assessment rolls? You can't
do it, and these people would enjoy
all the privileges and projections of
the government, yet they would con-

MAYOR J. T. MALoNEy.

..
In the retirement of Mayor Maloney
as chief executive of the city OF
Bryan, The Eagle desires to heartily
endorse the resolutions relative to
same as passed by the city council
Mayor Maloney, during his tenure OF
office, has been active, inaugurating a
policy of "do something" and in the
execution of his policies has been
both aggressive and progressive.
That his administration has been a
success is abundantly proven by the
city and it's institutions today, and
the condition they were in when he
assumed the reins. He has made
good.
In the larger field to which he has
been called, The Eagle here and now
assures him of it's unqualified sup
port and confidently expresses the
belief that his efforts in behalf of the
county will be equally as successful
as his efforts for the city. Here's our
hand, Judge Maloney.

tribute no more to its support than
the man who hasn't dollar to his
name except his home.
The correct principle is, that every
man, rich and poor, should bear his
proportionate share of the burden.
The Eagle believes this can be more
evenly and more justly distributed
under system of tariff for revenue
only, than under any other plan that
has ever been proposed. The tariff, of
course, should be low, especially as
to the necessities, while higher
schedule should apply to luxuries.
Under such system, every man
would contribute to the upkeep of the
government in proportion to his pur-
chases. The rich man would natur-
urally spend more than the poor man
and would therefore be heavier con-
tributor. He could afford luxuries
while the poor man could not, and
again tribute would be levied upon his
substance for the support of the ma
tional government.
Such system would be founded on
justice, equity and right, and would
stand the test, continuing steadfast.

THE MAN WHO TRIES.

There are types of mining men IN this western coun
who are the very opposite of each other There two
classes between whom line is very distinctly drawn One
class and this is the great majority active as long
everything seems favorable The other class, like the bull
dog depicted in the 'Hoosier Schoomaster lets go

The former class generally needs tome before getting
fully into the game and boom necessary to get 1t into

There is no good reason why mining man should not be

of as that drawing interests but there are men who

THE COPPER TRADE.

No better showing of copper statistics has been made IN
years than that which appeared in the monthly returns
o the Copper Producers Association This statement placed
the surplus stocks in this country January at little less
than 90OO0 pounds the smallest amount since the assoca
ton was organized three years ago. At the time the
visible supply of the metal abroad has shown further decline
until the worlds stocks almost down the 2OOOOOO00
pound mark approximately onehalf of the surplus which
menaced the market early in 1910 The consumption at home
ana abroad during December the largest many months
1t is to be remembered that the monthly figures of the as
socaton are refinery figures that the successive showng
are governed by the operations at these finishing plants There

that the smeter returns apt to be reflected later the

While at the present time the price of copper is ruling

PosToFF1CE ANNUAL REPORT.

The annual report Of Inspector Sharp of the postal de
partment brings light condition which would al
most impossible in this day Of the world and that makes
the time spent in trying to teach people how to safeguard all
investments Of mining character wasted According
the inspectors report than $7O0OOOO have been
raudulenty taken from investors in gerchquck schemes
in this country during the fiscal year ending in June.
The department has made record not equaled by any
other branch of criminal prosecution instituted by the
ment having out of total of 1876 indictments secured the
conviction of 1884, The cost of these prosecutions has been
big item of expense the department and the annual report
recommends that the prosecutions of this character of fraud
in the future under the supervision of the department OF
Justice and it would in all fairness that that department
should be as much interested in their prosecution any other
and take the matter in hand
One of the most surprising disclosures of the nvestga
tons of the government agents the fact that in nearly
instance the peperang these gigantic frauds those
in the higher walks of life who seldom cit their name be
mentioned in the role of promoters The aim Of the govern
ment has conne their operations to putting the larger
out of and this has had the expected result
of soaring out the smaller takers.
This condition of affairs with all the talk and advice that
has been passed out the last few by mining and min
ing journals to the effect that investors should investigate
very thoroughly the character of the property and also tina
of the men with whom they intend to associate themseve
prove concusvey than the truth OF TIM

this district may be CLEANED from knowledge of the fact that
since the agitation for reduction in the duty lead
commenced the price of lead has dropped 20 cents hundred
as it is feared the bill will be passed.
Without this latest misfortune it would that this
district has already encountered and wstood sufficient dis
aster such floods forest fires snowsdes, bank failures
and pancs which to any other district would have meant alb
oute ruin but it is believed by all that the threatened
ucton Of duty lead and zinc will prove nsur
ountabe obstacle and bebooves every person interested in
the mining industry here join with those of other lead pro
lucng districts in making determined fight against this
measure when the bill up for final consideration in
the senate.

WHAT NEXT?

The people Of this district and fact all other district
that produce lead greatly perurbed the attenp
that being made to have the duty lead and zine
reduced and have ample ground for their uneasness tn
bill passed almost unanimously Monday by the lowe
house in Washington, d. c. the democrats voting sody 10
the measure and very strong influence will be necessary t.
defeat the bill in the senate
AS the Occur Aenes produce practically 40 per cent
the lead mined in the United States and lead is the main
mineral with the exception of silver and zine mined
here it takes prophet to tell what the ultimate result
this district will be if the proposed bill is enacted into law
and to that the danger assuming serious proportions
putting it mildly to say the least
The reduction of the duty on lead and znc ores Will ha
the effect of permitting the large expectations from Spain and
Mexico be landed in the New York market at much lower
price than be produced any part of the United States
except where the bodies very rich and extensive
which, with few exceptions is not the The most of the
Spanish and Mexican lead has in the past gone to the Lon
market but in the event that the duty reduced the
there will be enabled to put their lead in New Yor
cheaper than they in London. The principal
reasons for this condition that their home consumption
practically nothing and that the miners are not paid mer
than onewefth the daily wage OF the American MINER an'
living conditions do not permit of comparison.
Should this bill become law it will have the effect of
ducing nothing the value of all lead properties in this
ton and will destroy all incentive to discover and develop
lead bodies In many will force companies which
at present operating small margin of profit and
panies doing extensive development work and Just on the
verge of joining the ranks of the shippers discontinue OPP
eraons altogether and in the larger properties where of
course there bodies of high and grade ore mined and
shipped at the time the operators will be forced
fine the work to the richer bodies which give profit and dc
away with all development work looking increasing the
and, naturally the number of employed will
as a result be greatly reduced
As proof that but very few properties the state Idaho
operate at profit with the price much lower than it
been until recently it might be recalled by many that in the
of 1907 when lead selling for $3.50 per hundred
