The correctness of these rulings has been cure in consequence of this introduction of Mexican lead ore? The "trust" or "combine." I do not care what it is called. of the smelters has every day been advancing the price of white lead. Notwithstanding the introduction of these Mexican ores. and notwithstanding the fact that they get the benefit of the cheap pauper labor of Mexico. they have been imposing upon the people of the United States who consume their manufactured product. adding to the price each day. so that today we pay more for white lead than we paid in 1885. Gentlemen talk of our trade relations with Mexico. Why. it is more important to the people of Kansas. to the people of Nebraska. to the people of Iowa. and of all the great West. that the activities of Montana. the activities of Idaho. the activities of Colorado. and of all the great mountain region shall be maintained than it is that these ores shall be imported from Mexico.
