A communication from the Board Of
Public Works, filed with Council several
months ago, and by that body referred to
the COMMITTEES, was then read. The docu-
ment recited the fact that siuce the aboli-
ton of the office of Street Commissioner,
tie Board had 70 authority to comp'l the
of new psvements, by property
wIers, in localities where curbipg had
been set, mol had Council any power to
authorize the Board to have such work
done, Council being compelled, under the
~Leculiar wording of the law, to take action
itself in each separate case calling fer atten-
ton, and in case this property owner
neglected or refused to comply with the
notification, the work could be orderd
done by Council, and charged up to the
property.
After considering the matter at some
length, the Committee passed a resolution
recommending that the Board of Public
Works furnish Council with a list of par
ties IT fasing to pave, with a proper resolu-
tion attached 10 each, to facilitate the
action of Council.

While Blaine's compact cohort at Chi
caeo recognize the fact that he Is the
presen, destiny Of the party, still there is
an idea that his coquetry in declining
had more In 1t than shrewd play. A
New York paper states positively that
Mr. Blaine is a sick man and not able to
,.ctle the arduous work o. canvass. IL
this be 80 the Republican party is in
bad way, and the only obstruction 10 the
victorious progress of the Democracy
will be failure to make thorough can
yass of the main issue, which we cannot
dodge.
The tariff reform 20 reduce revenue
does not propose to disturb existing re-
la,ions. 1t only proposes to start 81
TEN of reduction Of taxes from the war
status down TO the peace establishment
and daily with it az we may, the people
of The country will not any longer stand
the arbitrary adjustment of taxes ar
ranged to suit protected monopoly
The manufacturing interest, as prop
erly understood, cannot possibly advance
the monslrous idea that it protects labor
TO corral the home market, and then
when the product is too great for the
supplv, TO "shut down and leave the
workmen out in the cold until the supply
calls for the surplus product.
Yet thai is just what the monopoiiSts
do. When the home market is glutted
because it cannot buy except from them
they force their employees to strike, close
up. and save money until the market
needs more material at their own
prices.
Now, if the markets Of the world were
open to the American workman he could
compete successfully with the world.
Bat the high tariff closes the markets of
all the world to him. and gives to capt.
talists the privilege Of controlling the
home market whereby every body Is laid
under tribute.
The fish, the tin, the clothes, all cost a
third or a half more than people in other
countries pay for them.
As to the wages, the workman wants
competition for his labor, and you can
not have it so long as YOU are forced TO
work for our market

FOREIGN BLANKETs

We gave some significant figures re-
gardinc the tribute paid by the people 10

universally used article Of alpaca, which

The Government, by direction OF Con
gress. had to lug 1000 blankets at the
loves, price Cor a good article, and the
purchase was made in foreign blankets
which cost less without the duty, which,
of course. the Government took the lib
erty of not collecting. . II the duty bad
been paid the blankets would have cost
about $500
Duty free they cost 5000, which is
5000 less than the corresponding Ameri-
can article would cost.
Thus we see chat the idea Of buying
good foreign goods at lower rate than
domestic goods is acknowledged as a
nroc,ical idea-eyen by Congress and the
Government
WIS not let The people have a shy al

Looking at it on the side Of tie Amer

sell blanket at 30 cents more than the

TuE pAKTy SHOWS ITS HAND.

The Republicans have made dec.ara-
ton so absolutely in favor and support
of monopoly tina, The people Of the
United States cannot fail to appreciate
the true inwardness of the noiicy that,
pretending 20 p.o.c; labor, really 4.r.s
to foster monopoly and build up money
power just like that Of the Trusts
IN the discussion in the House on the
Mills bill the Republicans objected to
tin plate on the free list, and insisted that
the tariff duty should be doubled.
Now let us see what this means Tin
pays $j,0000OO year duty now, and, as
its use is growing every day the increase
would make the duty over Sl0,OO0,0OO,
and for what? Not for revenue, because
we have $i50,000 900 more than we can
u.s. not for protection, because no tin is
made IN this country. So the Republi-
cas- insist on making every family in the
United States pay this immense tribute.
They would make every package OF
canned fruit, canned fish, canned
meat, canned vegetables and to-
bacco for expectation in lin
packages pay this tribute and for what.
As il is not for revenue or protection II
mus; he solely to allow milionaires to
get control Of the tin manufacturer and
monopoiize the market at their own
prices |, can be for nothing else and,
indeed. one Republican stated that 1t
NTH, encourage mandatory to start.
4 Democrat said that this tin intercs,
in The United States is not even an in
FAINT industry 1t is not even an embryo.
II strikes me that it is somewhat like
Pooh Bah's genealogy it is.a primordial
protoplasmic globule' 1t has no exis-
tence here"
From the tin roof to the poor man :
cup and plate this duty would be felt,
and there has never yet, among all the
fragrant violations of right by the Repub.
licans, been one so very fragrant as this
It's very big job the Republican:
are lighting for. That is why this scheme
has been pushed so assiduously and per
tinaciously in many Congresses before
this one, and why now ii is again at The
front. In the Forty-seventh Congress
this is the fftieth-Senator Sherman
was its spokesman, and TO him in tn
Forty. seventh Congress Senator lngall
stated this very thing, and added
at is apparent that so far as tin plat
Is concerned it is actually raw material
1t is in no sense whatever competiliv
with any American manufacture. TIL
only reason why duty should be i'm
posed upon tin plate is for the purpcs
Of revenue. The tariff upon this articl
should be fiscal merely 1t cannot
fiscal and protective, because there
nothing to protect"

doubtful States, is another solution which
delegates offer, believing that il fits the

lievc that Nh Harrison would not be SO

The New York star gives veiy cool
and critical review of the Republican
candidates, and, being convinced OF
Blaine's bad health, it concludes that still
his nomination will be forced, and con-
cludes as follows:
1t is our impression that such a pro-
gramme may be consumated; that Blaine
ignorant admirers will insist upon him;
that the mass of his haif-informed fol
lowers will accep! him. and chat his own
personal little body guard will be reluct-
antly forced to close in around him.
If such be the rssult. the Blaine nomi.
mated at Chicago will be a candidate who

deterioration, but 5 d physical impair
