COUNTY JUDGE,
FRANK E. HUNTER is a candidate for the
f-See of Connty Judge, subject to the decision of
'be Democratic convention.
As far as wt can learn, in the early
part of August, the editor of a republican
paper at San Marcial conceived a bril-
liant idea about lead. He thought he
bad heard that lead ore? were coming
into El Paso from Mexico free of duty.
He did hear that the two smelters at So-
corro had shut down and had stopped
mining lead ore at the mines. He im-
mediately imagined that the free lead ore
coming into El Paso, the Mills bill, and
the democratic party were closing the
mines ami smelters of New Mexico. He
determined to give his party the benefit
of his profound discovery,'and straight-
way announced it in the following:
•The §'>,000,000 capital of the Mexican
Ore company at El Paso had more influ-
ence with the democratic majority in
congress than the thousands of miners
working in the lead mines of the United
States. The two million capital wanted
free importation of lead; the miners
wanted the dutv collected as o protection
to them against the cheap labor of Mex-
ico. The democratic majority voted in
the interest of the two million capital
and the republican minority for the pro-
tection of American miners."
We suppose the editor meant the dem-
ocratic majority in the bouse of repre-
sentatives. He speaks of the majority
and republican minority as voting on the
subject of the ruling on ore eniering the
custom house at El Paso. To show the
pure fabrication of the statement,
the Times published the fact
that the question of the collection
ruling on ores had not been voted on in
the house, but had came up before the
senate judiciary committee, republican
iu its majority and chairmanship. The
ruling had been that where the value of
silver in ore exceeded the value of lead,
the ore ranked as silver ore, and paid no
duty. This was a republican law and
ruling, it was ,-ecentlv confirmed by the
republican judiciary committee of the
senate, and not by the ''democratic ma-
jority in congress'' as tbe above men-
tioned editor put it. Thinking this was a
fine discovery the republican papers of
New Mexico took up this burro bray,
raised at San Marcial. Then came the
most ridiculous and reckless assertion
about the lead miners being ruined.
Lead kept advancing steadily, and its
rise to over 5 cents has put a stop to
this editorial stuff. An amusing joke on
thesepolitico-economic republican editors
tbe Times has kept back. All the time
they were raving about the Mexican Oro
Company importing free lead at El Paso
and mining lead mining of New Mexico,
this very Mexican Ore Company was
mining lead ores constantly in New
Mexico, right under the noses of these
wise men. Let us now have a profound
rest on the lead question. It has pro-
bably made you very weary by this time,
esteemed, New Mexican, republican,
contemporaries.
hard nuts to crack.
What is the use of a tariff, when Lynn
shoe factories, paying near double day
wage*, can produce for 85 cent* labor a
pair of shoes casting fifty cents to make
in England?
J Why wool averaged 28 cents in high
tariff times and 32 cents in low tariff
years, though blankets were much higher
under the tariff.
Why we sold only $776,000 of woolen
goods to countries where England sold
over $115,000,000 in 1885?
Why, with navigation laws and protec-
tive tariffs, only 17 instead of 90 per cent
(as of old) of our commerce is carried
by American ships?
Why. blankets are taxed 77 per cent,
and thread lace only :t0? Why neces
sities bear heavy duties, and luxuries
light?
Why, savings bank deposits increased
14 per cent, a year, 1845-60, under low
tariff, and only 8 per cent, a year, 1860-
85, under high tariff?
Why when the republican tariff com-
mission recommended at least 20 per
cent, reduction, the "conference bill"
raised the average of duties, so that
they were 46 instead of 43 per cent, in
1885.

harrison's letter.
It was fortunate for the democratic
party that the two letters of acceptance
were given to the public about the same
time which forced a very general com-
parison bfftween them by ordinary read
ders. Ab Cleveland's paper was strong
and manly so weak and cowardly were
the utterances of Harrison. The former
clearly stated the iwmes of the campaign
and firmly declared bis convictions, the
latter was not gentleman enough to ever
give hi* opponent credit for sincerity and
charged the deceit of free trade
Harrison forgot to excuse himself for
fail senate vote# on Chinese legislation
and wasted words to bay that the letter
was delayed by handshaking, etc
He omitted an explanation of his doc
trine that "a dollar a day is enough for
workingmen,' yet he crowded his letter
with honeyed professions to catch their
votes.
His position on trusts is a very mild
one as he characterizes them only as
"abuses.''
He advocates, like every other sane
man, temperance but he fails to assert
that the "free whisky' of his party s
platform is calculated to destroy that
virtue.
As a whole the letter is the work of a
man ef ordinary ability, containing ab-
solutely no merit and proving the repub-
lican candidate to be entirely unequal to
the role assigned him. The document
will have a tendency to increase the odds
now offered by New York gamblers on
the November election.

The price of lead baa advanced to 5
cents a pound. This presents the Times
with an opportunity to congratulate the
republican editors of New Mexico, whom
the lead market has proved a very un-
wise set of prophets, and dealers in reck
less statements.
(Fort Worth Gazette.)
Ask your protectionist friend when he
talks about the blessings of a protective
tariff, why 1,000,000 men have been out
of work under it.
Why Pennsylvania miners lost 128
days' work in 1884 and 111 days' work in
1885 ?
Why they get only $20 a month, and
pay out of that $2.50 for tools, sharping,
powder and oil ?
Why some Pennsylvania laborers work
for 50 cents a day ?
Why he talks about child labor in Eng-
land, when slate-pickers, seven to ten
years old, are working under tbe rod in
Pennsylvania ?
Why Pennsylvania operatives pay $5 a
month for company houses, when Eng-
lish operators get a cottage for $30 a
year ?
How protection protects workingmen
when Italians and Hungarians come in
duty free ?
Why cotton operatives in Massachu-
setts work sixty hours, and in other New
England states sixty-six and sixty-nine
hours a week, while English operatives
work only fifty-six ?
Why tbe poor American spinners get
17.07 and the poof English spinners get
Vt.'X) t week though the American
makes 'l\ yards of cloth to tbe English
2*?
Why wage* uisder the high protection
tariffs of Italy and OerHsany are about
half what they are in "trm trade" En-
gland'
Why the condition of the miner has
for some year* been growing worse
in Pennsylvania and better in Great Bri-
tain'"
Why "in the very occupations which
we so tax ourselves to 'protect" the
English workman has, as a rule, the ad
vantage?"
Why workmen earn higher day
wages in unprotected than in protected
industries?
Why "the importation of woolen and
worsted cloths is increasing at a fearful
rate, while our own weavers are thrown
out of employment?"
What good is a tariff to workingmen
when American factories pay only 17.60
wages for a piece of l£|^rain carpet on
which the duty would be Ml?
