law for doing, should hunt up some law
yer to advise them that and are 5;
but that does not make it so.
We have repeatedly challenged these
defiant law-breakers to produce the law
authorizing that expenditure. They have
failed to do it. For fear they and their
lawyers have overlooked it, we desire to
call their attention to an important pro-
vision of law. 1t will be found in doc
ument known as the Constitution of the
State of Ohio, Sec. 5 of Art. Y:
"No MONEY SHALL BE DRAWN FROM
ANY COUNTY OR TOWNSHIP TREASURY
EXCEPT BY AUTHORITY OF LAW"
That is the supreme law. Every Off
Ger in the State is required to make oath
that he will support it. 1t does not re-
quire lawyers to interpret it. Any man
who can read understands its meaning.
We again demand that the Trustees
and Clerk produce the law for that ex-
penditure, or, failing to do so, restore the
money to the Treasury of the township.
All blather about lawyers is out of order,
and wholly, irrelevant

THE DUTY ON TIN PLATE.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
Should the proposed duty on tin plate
go into effect on January l, 1890, our
manufacturers would by that time be
ready to produce all that the country re-
quires. There is nothing more clearly
demonstrated than the fact that an ade-
quate duty is all that is requisite to
transfer this vast industry from England
to the United States. In the debate in
the Senate on Wednesday Mr.. Vest
made the stereotyped argument that
there was not single pound of tin plate
manufactured in this country, and in
Weighed against the folly of trying to
create an industry that did not exist
He did not say that tin plate could not
be made here, but the Democratic con-
tention is that because we cannot COM
pete with England on equal terms in
this particular kind of manufacture we
should not attempt it at all.
The assertion that tin ore cannot be
had in the United States in sufficient
quantities to meet the home demand is
pretty effectually negatiYed by recent
experiments. Several tests have been
made of Dakota tin ore shipped to Lon
don to be treated by expert assayers and
smelters. The consignments amounted
to about forty tons, and a number of
samples showed rich ore and pure tin
There was an average yield of $40
pounds of pure metallic tin to the ton
of rock, or over 8 per cent.-or l per
cent. richer than the product of the
Cornwall mines. The advantage was
decidedly in favor of the American ore
for another reason-the Dakota tin was
so pure as to need no refining, while the
Cornwall tin has to be treated to free it
from extraneous qualities.
These tests were convincing to the
best expert authorities, and since the de-
posits of tin ore in the Black Hills re-
gions are very extensive it is certain
that we can produce all the block tin re-
quired. As Senator Aldrich remarked:
"The placing of an adequate duty on
tin plate means the annual production
of 100000 tons of plate and the profita-
BILE employment of at least 10000 peo-
pie"
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1889-01-24
THAT WON'T DO.

The Trustees and Clerk of Richland
township have been challenged to pro-
duce the law authorizing them to pay
the attorneys of George Lentz, Dighton
Bailey, and John Michener $500 for de-
Tending them in lawsuit. They have
not done so, nor can not do it; but, in
stead, the statement is offered that they
did not do so without consulting their
attorneys" That is not the question:
If there is any law for it, it is simple
matter to point it out; if there is not, the
opinions of all the lawyers in christen-
dom can not justify it nor legalize it.
1t is the custom of wrong doers and
law-breakers to attempt to shield them
selves behind the opinions of lawyers
That is their last refuge; and right there
is the dead point of danger to taxpayers.
Unless they defend themselves against
it with all the money needed and all the
power they can bring to bear, they may
prepare to surrender, and confess they
are incompetent to defend themselves
against the tax eaters and plunderers.-
1t is not surprising that the Trustees and
Clerk, knowing that they were about to
| do something they had no authority of

EXACTLY.

The Commercial Gazette (Cincinnati)
forcibly calls attention to the fact that
the men who are hunting up tax omis-
sions, at twenty-five cents on the dollar,
are doing work that others are paid for
doing, and suggests that division of
the swag may be arranged for as con-
dition precedent.
1t is the duty of a County Auditor to
supervise the listing of property for tax
alton, and, to the end that full returns
may be secured, he is clothed by law with
ample powers. He may examine the re-
cords of mortgages, or he may summon
persons before him and examine them
under oath. If he is careless of his duty
in this respect he is as culpable as though
he had failed to make the tax duplicates
These things involve some labor, and the
liability of incurring the il-will of indi-
viduals who may be disposed to shirk
taxation; therefore the men whose duty
it is to do the work wholly neglect it, and
an accommodating Legislature has pro-
vided that they may employ another and
pay him 25 per cent. of the amount col
lected.
Possibly the public may look favora-
bly, upon relieving the Auditor of that
part of his duties, and the employment
of foreign detectives to hunt up omis-
sions from the tax duplicate, but it is
our impression that the scheme is sys-
tenn of espionage and blackmailing, and
the law providing for it a written con-
tession upon the part of the Legislature
that it is powerless to compel respect for
law upon the part of officers created by
it.
We anticipate the response to this
1t will be that the fault is with the peO-
pie. In a measure it is, but, with the
exception of Treasurers, the laws design
ed to provide against the shortcomings
and misdeeds of county and township
officers are lame and greatly behind the
age. These offices are created by the
Legislature, and it should provide means
for speedy and thorough relief in every
case where an officer fails to do his duty,
or in any respect violates the law.

TALKS ON THE TARIFF.

New YORK Press.
The rowing free trade Consul, Jacob
Schoenhof, has let drop significant ad-
mission about the relative cost of car
et-making here and in England, and
the american Economist and Tariff
League Bulletin has picked it up.
In one of his reports to the State De-
partment Mr.. Schoenhof gives the sell
ing price of ingram carpets in England
at 81 cents yard, and in the United
States at 81 7-100 cents a yard, with a
very Insignificant margin of profit add
ed in the United States. He also gives
the wages of ingram carpet weayers in
England at 50 per week, and in the Uni
ted States at 1915 per week.
The Economist says: "If working peO-
pie in the United States were incapable
of putting the figures together the Con-
sui would not do so much harm to the
cause of free trade, but when he shows
officially that weeks wages in Eng
land buys only and three-quarter yards
of carpet, ,and in America eighteen yards
of carpet, he gives the champions of free
trade a most cruel blow. Is it any
wonder that the working people declin-
ed to indorse free wool. English wages
and unearpeted floors? By this testimo-
ny the English system is condemned.
The working people of the United States
are earning three yards of carpet under
the American system of protection, while
working people in England are earning
a single yard. Mr.. Schoenhof unwitting-
ly tells us why the homes of American
working people are carpeted and why
the English homes are not, and yet he
is champion of the British system"

VIEWS OF A FARMER.

The following excellent tariff talk has
been received from correspondent in
Illinois:
81 believe in the tariff because it gives
me chance to sell my produce to men
who earn their living by manufacturing
things l have to buy. They are pro-
tected from foreign competition as long
as they are learning their business, and
as soon as they get the hang of it no.
nice that the prices go down, and 1 get
my plows and shovels as cheaply as 1
could abroad In the meantime l do
not have to pay large freight charges to
get my wheat across the ocean.
"That is why l am a protectionist.

NO.

A great exhibition was undertaken at
Columbus last year, which was literally
aided by the State, and now the Legisla-
ture is invited to invest about 100000
more, to pay the debts of the concern.
There is no good reason for further
taxing the State for that affair, and the
Legislature should not do it. The State
has invested many millions in Columbus,
and it will not now be out of place for
Columbus people themselves to "put
up" little, especially for an affair en-
tirely in their interest.

A REMARKABLE SEASON.

1t is said there was not a month last
year when there was not a coal boat rise
in the Ohio River Old river men say
they have no recollection of such sea-
son ever occurring before.
The winter has been the most remark
able in the memory of men. Much of the
time people have been able to sit by open
windows without discomfort, and in the
middle of January the warm sunlight
and the warble of birds recall April days.

WATER IN WHEAT GRINDING.

WATER In w HEAT GRlND1NG.
San Francisco Grocer.
One of the largest millers in the Uni
ted States, c. A. Pillsbury, is credited
with asserting that millers do not damp
en- their wheat before grinding it. This
is correct of some millers, but not of all,
and the reason is not attributable to
differences in millers, but to differences
in wheat. Most of the California wheat
ground in this State is moistened, be-
cause it is necessary to do so. On the
other hand, Oregon wheat will not stand
dampening, as it contains enough water
without this treatment.
On this account local millers prefer
California wheat, as they can add the
necessary water for nothing, which they
have to pay for in the Oregon article.
When shipped abroad or stored for
months at tidewater, there is less differ
ence, as wheat which is not moist will
become so in damp atmosphere. Cal
ifornia wheat when aflOat gains to 3
per cent. from absorption of moisture.
A certain percentage of water in wheat
is essential to render it fit for grinding,
and the moisture has to be either found
in the grain or applied artiticially thereto.

ENGLAND'S ELECTORAL REFORM

ENGLAND'S ELECTORAL REFORM
ST. Louis Globe-Demoerat.
1t is estimated by men who may fairly
be considered experts that the electoral
reform law of Great Britain has practic-
ally stopped all bribery in that country
and reduced the cost of general elections
about IS per cent. The electoral scheme
in vogue in England is similar, in lead
ing features, to that adopted in Massa-
chusetts, and to the scheme which is be-
fore the Legislatures of several States
Just now and will be before other Legis-
latures some time this winter There is
good reason to hope that the change in
election methods will produce as good
results in this country as it has in Eng
land and Canada. 1t would certainly
make some improvement.

ABOUT STANLEY.

The New York Commercial Advertiser
advances the idea that Stanley is really
nothing but the secret agent of the Brit
ish government, and that he was sent to
Africa not so much to find and succor
Emin Bey as to checkmate German ope-
rations in the Dark Continent. There
are many circumstances to justify this
belief. 1t is very significant that the
British government has just announced
that it knows where Stanley is, and has
letters from him, but that their publica-
ton must be withheld for state reasons.

THE EBB AND FLOW OF GAS.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
Perhaps nowhere in any gas belt is
there so great popularity as exists in the
flow of gas at Montpelier, Ind. Six hours
out of twenty four the gas runs down to
a minimum and six hours out of the day
the gas reaches the maximum When
the supply is at low ebb the valves are
turned wide open to get sufficient sup
ply. When the gas is at the highest the
smallest turn of the key is enough TO sup
ply the demand. That the movements
are co-instant with the ocean tides is evil
dent, but whether or not the same influ-
ences are the cause can only be matter
of conjecture.
