Referring to the bill introduced by
Senator Smvot of Utah for the re-
lief of the silver miners and lead
clause of the Underwood Simmons
tariff bill, the latter of which New
lands failed to vote against, Plat
said:
II visited here some years ago
when Eureka seemed so prosperous.
1t does not now cen so. and | could
not help see it and ask questions. and
when told there was not a single man
on the mining payroll in Eureka,
tears came to my eyes and resent
ment into my soul for this condition.
You have great mines, great
latent resources, and mines and
shelters should be running. Why
should Newlands vote against pro-
tecting your lead and other mining
industries?"
Plat here quoted from the record
of Newlands attitude on the amend
ment to the lead schedule. which he
said showed his disloyalty to Eu-
reka's mining industry.
