What an apostle Of insatiable greed
John jarrett must be. After 1894 S14
American consumers have voted for free
tin, he still has the monumental assurance
to 60 before Senate committee with his
old plea for an increase OF the duty from
one cent to $40 cents per pound. After
5,S34 3l4 voters have said by their ballots
that they want no tax at all on tin, jarrett,
posing as the mouthpiece Of TIE American
lin Plate Association, an association
which mines 10 thu never has mined any
and probably never Will mine any, has
the eGrontery to aak that the tax be more
than doubled On the workingmsn'a dinner
pail, on Ibis wash basin, on the roof OF
his housa Snd on every can OF tomatoes or
peaches thht may reach his table. This
tin plate ts$ has been the most shameless
and inexea9a5le imposition on the whole
,taria schedule. 1t ''protects" nobody,
while it robs everybody. During ths
hscal year 1887 we imported SIG, 1888, Sl8
worth OF tin plates on which the duty
amounted 10 So, 706, 433. Every man who
uses anything made Of tin was gouged to
mako up this unnecessary tax. And II
Jarrett could have had his way the
swindle would have been more than
doubled il would have been Sl2 ,554, l52
instead of So, zoe, 43S. 30 that IL the
workihgman who might be building him
self little home out of his hard earned
savings; used S25 worth OF tin on his
yoot ne would have been required to pay
$i6 for the tin and S12 for the tar; tax
that the government does not need; tax
thst nobody needs. The oormorants rep
resented by Jarrett Claim, we believe, to
own Ipudsin Dakota on which traces Of
tin hAve been seen CT smelt or something
of that sort, and, their plea is that il they
were sufficiently protected" they could
make little American tin. II could be
as reasonably urged that il the gardeners
of New Castle county were sufficiently
protected" they might grow dollhouse
bananas for home consumption. But we
do not think that even the next Republi-
can Congress, now that 5,334, 3l4 votes
have been cast for free tin, will dare to
seriously entertain such an outrageous
proposition as Jarrett is urging.

III is understood that arrangements have
been made 10 send Senators Stewart and
Jones as alternates 10 the National Conyen-
lion. This is the not the right thing at all.
If they are 10 go send them as delegates SO
that they will have all The chance to make
what points they can. 1t is not good taste
to send men TO the convention as delegates
who could not accomplish half as much as
their al,ernates. We do not believe that
Stewart would take a seat in the Convention

The Oakland Herald makes this strong
point: The Irish race has been for Centuries
oppressed by England and by England has
been robbed of everything it held dear, and
yet the Irish race has ever been and is ever
found in the field fighting the battles of
England. To. day the Irish people, still
with England's foot upon their necks, are in
the United States hghling for England, one
Of her greatest battles, and they are doing
it al the American polls. They will do
more at the ballot.box next November to
help win England's free trade fight against
America, than the Golden Club could effect
in years. And why1 Because the majority
OF Irish born American citizens are Demo
erals, and will follow their leaders to the
death for Democratic success, regardless of
the fact that those leaders are working in
England's interest. And no argument and
no array Of facts could make them see how
their party fealry is toyed with.

SEND STEWART FOR ONE.

There seems to be any number Of candl
dates for delegates to the National Conven
ten and as there has been some talk in thu
newspapers OF the State in regard to send
ing Senator, Stewart as one Of the delegates
We rise to remark that filter man could no
be selected. 1t is not known that he really
desires to 90, but it would be a complimen
to him to send him, ard would show tina
the people Of Nevada are with him in hi!
earnest endeavors to benefit them. 1t car
be depended on that il he is selected to &C
to Chicago, he will be there and attend &c
business, and the delegates who assemble a,
the State Convention at Wlnnemucca on the
18th Of this non'h can do ne wiser thing
than to choose him. Stewart is q man who
is we'll versed in the workings of conven
tons. He knows what there is TO be done
and hew to do it, and he knows what is o
interest to this Coast, and this State espec
tally. II is evident that a great many o.
the Eastern States, Massachusetts, and others,
will send their Senators as delegates, and
for the purpose it is believed OF making a
single standard gold platform, as they are
all gold advocates. To sum the thing up it
looks very much as though the silver hight
was to be transferred for a time from
the Capital at Washington to Chicago
Senator Stewart has the silver fight well IN
hand, and as a delegate in the National Con-
vention and do much to enhance its cause.
In this county the delegates to the State
Convention are all in favor OF Stewart as one
Of the delegates TO the National Convention,
and it should be that way in all the other
counties. Do not give the enemies Of silver
4 chance to do any tricky work at Chicago
Send Stewart and they will not pull the wool
ever his eyes. We do not say that there are
not other able men in the State, who if they
60 to Chicago, will endeavor to not lose sight
Of the silver question, but we say this;
Stewart is there; he knows what is going on,
and it will not take him any time TO file OBJ
jectons to anything that is not just right
We believe it is the duty OF every Republl
can paper in this State to urge that the del
egates from their respective counties vote for
Stewart for one Of the delegates to the CHI
cage Convention. We believe the newspa
pers mentioned Stewards name for delegate
without his authority; but as he is willing to
70 and interest himself in behalf of the PEG
pie. It is no more than fair that the papers
should new do all they can to have him 60
Stewar, to-day has more influence in the
Senate than any other member. He is rec
ognized as the leader OF the silver fight, and
il he is backed by the encouragement OF his
constituents in this State he will win. Send
him 10 the Convention and there will be no
single standard geld planks in the Republi
can platform 10 act as a wet blanket over the
enthusiasm OF the silver friends on TIN,
Coast, or in other parts OF the Union.
