Tribune to Owen King: “You.are
aware, Sir, that the present duty on
lead serves to exclude foreign lead
from our market.’’
Then, of course, to this duty wo
owe the present high price of lead—
about ten dollars per thousand!
The present duty on lead compels
the miner to sell Ids “mineral” for
one cent per pound, and to pay ten
cents for it when lie buys it. back
again in thesbape of white lead. The
less preelection of this kind the bet
| ter for the miner, and for ns all. Does
the Tribmieexpuclintelligent readers
I to believe 'hat it requires protection
i to keep the price of lead up to tenor
j twelve dolin'.-, per thousand. Every
body knows that it. is really worth
i more than Unit the world over. Were
it not for tin* monopolies that the
protective policy of the government
encourages, the price would never
have gone below twenty or twenty
live dollars.
Congressional—An Opinion from
Outside tho District.
Says the sionx City (Iowa) Tribune:
—“The <l reelibackers of the third con
gressional district of Wisconsin have
nominated Owen King of lowa coun
ty. It is net unlikely that tin* Demo
crats will fail to put a candidate in
the Held. In such a ease, Hazelton,
the present incumbent may have the
3,000 to 4,000 republican majority in
the district transposed so as to leave
a minus quantify on his side. The
expectation of bis friends that In*
would distinguish the district lr. Ids
“brilliancy” was a novelty in expec
tancy whies reconciled the parly to
his innimr.ililit sin i <.!ii ics .mil pri
vate life, Tie* friends, however, are
disappointed witli tile exes 'ding ic
ily of their hern’s aeui and record ami
his illegitimate pre aig • i . on the
wane.
“The Mineral I’oiul Democi it pub
lished in Mr. Owes King’s county, in
mentioning Ids nominal-ion for Con
gress by the. (ireeiibackers says: “Mr.
King has not, however, by his a..soci
al ion with the new parly changed
any of his polil icnl principles m 1 opin
ions, and is just as sound a Democrat
now as he was four years ago, when
he was elected to the Legislature by
the Democratic party.”—lliehlaml
County Republican.
Mistake, Mr. Republican. The
Democrat didn’t say any such thing.
A correspondent made the statement
you attribute to us. What we did
say was this; “Mr. King has seen lit
to cut loose from the Democratic par
ly and act Independent of it. Which
he bad a pci feet right to do. Hi* can
not therefore be considered a good
Democrat.” Mr. King is an honest
upright man,-ids character is un
impeachahle: he is a believer in near
ly all of Hit principles of Democracy
and belong lo whatever party ho may,
his election is a thousand limes more
to be desire I t ban Ihe elect ion of a
demagogue .viiose chief a nbiiion is to
keep himself and his corrupt parts
in power. I ndei slainl nM i. Repnb
-1 can: We do not advise the Dem
ocrats to nominate Mr. King,
but between ila/elioi, who xx ill be
your camlUlile and Mr. King the
Democrat totes for King even

Market Reports.
The mosl noticeable feature in our
market is the probability of a marked
advance in the medium and high
grades of Flour. The great advance
in milling wheat in lowa, Minnesota
and our own state to prices relatively
higher than Flour, has prevented
millers from obtaining tbeir usual
supplies; hence the production of
many leading brands is quilt* .united.

in the southern fart of this state and

a surplus of lasi year's crop decline
to sell, evidently thinking that old
