THE TIN PLATE BUSINESS.

THE HIN PLATE BUSINESS.
 If the new tariff law did nothing more than to establish the tin plate industry in this country it would do much. We are now buying all our tin plate from England. Last year she sold us 742, 136, $40 pounds of tin plate, and it cost us $21, ,726, TOT. In the last twenty-five years we have sent over to England the tremendous sum of $s20, ,OS7, ,s61 for tin plate. The English plate is made in Wales, where cheap fe- male labor, costing from thirty to sixty five cents a day, is employed. On the basis of their net cost, the English are charging us 300 per cent. profit on this plate. A common tin cup, for instance, that retails all over the United States for five cents, costs the Welsh manufacturer only about one and one-third cents. The dinner pail in which the American la borer carries his roll and his coffee, and for which he pays twenty-five cents, costs the greedy Britain less than twelve. Now, then-despite the disparity between the thirty-cent female labor of Wales and the expensive labor of this country-our peo pie can easily make those same articles and sell them at those prices, and earn good living; but the mischief of it is every time they try the Briton lowers his prices, as h. can well afford to do, and drives our peo pie out of the business. Tin-plate work have been established in America agair
 and again, but every time the foreigne
 has seen the market slipping away from
 him he has cut prices and has kept then down until his American rivals were forced
 to suspend.
 | The new law will change all this. Tn
 British producer will no longer be able t
 drive the people in this country out of tn
 tin business.

The Columbian exposition to be held in Chicago in 1893 will attract many of the women in- terested in such a conference and will be @ most favorable occasion for holding it. | The Queen Isabella association will give the use of it's pavilion to all women who

A FIGHTING CHANGE.

A FxGHTlNG CHANCHs
 All the free traders are delighted with the nomination of David A. Wells by the Democrats of the Third congressional dis trict of this State. And the Boston Her ald says that he has @ good fighting chance.'' So he has He will have all the fight he wants. The feeling against him in the district came ont in the speech made by General B. Colt of Norwich, Mr. Wells abiding place. Extracts from it are as follows: No duly accredited representative of the Democratic party of the town of Norwich has or will take the floor to say to the convention that the Hon. David A. Wells is the man to lead the party. The floor of the convention Is no place to con- vert men to the tariff. No man has been sent by Norwich Democratic caucus to present the name of MT. Wells to this house as nominee; but substitute has been found to present his name to this body. With the feeling there is in the Democratic party of Norwich against Mir. Wells, believe he cannot command the party vote by 500 if he is nominated. Do you want to swamp the partya No Nor wioh delegate dares to come in here and make this nomination, but the work was left to substitute, and to others from outside towns.

 To make haste slowly, 1t seems must be the would-be stenographer's rule of action. Accuracy must be sought first, while speed is to be acquired by practice: Said . fa- and difficult operation to perform: eve have no time to hurry" Stsnography, like other occupations, should not be makeshift, but taken up in 6 serious and conscientious manner after thorough prep aration. When this is the case employ ment will be secured. A New York wom- an who is studying the condition of work ing girls advertised for 6 teacher, 6 stenog- rapher, and business woman not afraid to work. Her experience with the second class is worth quoting here:
 ssThe letters from persons calling them selves stenographers were interesting and lamentable, showing as they did the i'm competency of more than six hundred for the work selected as means of hveli- hood. There were l, 1,150 in all, and many of the letters were unworthy of child of ten. Not only were the expressions crude, but the spelling was bad, the writing of ten illegible, and the style that should characterize business letter wanting" More then half, then, of those who ap- piled for the situation were unfitted for it. Is it strange that the ranks of the stenographers and type-writers Fare said to be terribly crowdedl Evidently one be fore beginning the study of this profession should sit down seriously to consider hel | fitness for it, this being decided, the best oi | instructors should be chosen and ample time given to the study and to the acquire ment of every kind of information upon | which success depends.
 | Without haste and without rest, Lifting better up to best"
 should be the motto of the stenographer a, | well as of everyone else who desires to Sc cure, if not fame and fortune, at least con stant and well paid employment in theil chosen branch of the worlds work. | DoYLIEs AGAIN.

THE GRowTa OF NEW HAVEN.


 An Interesting and Valuable Table [ or the Record for One Hundred Years.
 To the Editor of the JocnsAL AND COURIER:
 In accordance with my promise, and at your request, send you enclosed, tabu- lated statement showing decenniAl growth of New Haven for the last 100 years.
 You will remember I told you during our conversation that I thought a fair de- duction from such a presentation would prove to almost any reasonable mind that our population in 1900 would be Ht least 1e0, 900.
 How near this statement bears out the claim made you are ss well able to judge as myself.
 also enclose you another compilation, showing the decenniAl growth of our town and state for the same period, with the ratio of their population in each decade, the rspidity and uniformity of the growth of the former over that of the latter being somewhat remarkable. and presents sub ject for thought and reflection As take some little pride in the growth and prosperity of New Haven, and feel anxious our people should fully under stand our actual and comprehend our flu ture growth, I give my consent, should you consider the tables of any particular value, to make such use of them as yOu may judge best. INCREASE OF POPULATION. Population of New Haven for 100 years, showing increase and percentage of growth ct each decade:

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Farming doesn't seem to pay much bet ter in England than in this country. Ed mund Yates says that thsre are now half a dozen vacant holdings to one eligible ap- plicant all over England.
 Boys are queer in Hungary. The school authorities in Hungary recently procured . legislative enactment making the study of the ancient Greek language optional in grammar schools. The result has been a great surprise, for only two lads have requested to be exempted from the study of Greek.
 A Russian legend relates that when St. Joseph returned from his flight into Egypt he found his shoes in great want of of leather work in Russia sent them to Kieff to be mended, where they remained. It is now reported from Kieff that the archbishop of St. Sophia proposes to re- sole the shoes and then "expose them to the veneration of the faithful"
 Emigration is increasing in France. Few Frenchmen emigrated formerly, but now the small returns of farming and the heavy taxes produce an effect. In former years the annual emigration amounted to 5000; but in 1887 it rose to 11,0O0, in 1888 to 23, 900, and in 1889 to S0,OOO. Oi ] these 27, ,000 went to South America. In Government circles there is great uneasi. ness at this, and an effort is made to direct emigration to Algiers and Tunis, where there is plenty of land.
 Some English papers are chuckling ove1 a story to the effect thata certain Ameri can, name not given, recently entered into negotiations to bring the eObersmmergar Passion Play over to Staten Island mex, summer. He offered to pay the perform CTS handsome salary, furnish all the cos tunes, provide crosses of real olive wood from the Mount of Olives, and put th' stage business under the management of { well known ballet director. Moreover with true American generosity, he offered to increase the number of Apostles iron twelve to one hundred.
 The Indian schools are doing more goo' than people who do not know about then think. The pupils learn not only farmin in it's various phases, but are preparing t do the carpentering, blacksmithing, wagol making, tailoring, shoemaking, etc., of tn Indian communities. It is reported tha
 the government purchased last year fror
 the Indian school ct Genoa, Nebraska, sS
 sets of harness made by the Indian boy
 and 2,OOO brooms made by them froI broom corn of their own raising, At tn
 California schools the Indians are success
 fully engaged in fruit and stock raising The pupils are learning in fact how take care of themselves and how to diret the labors of their elders.

traced the outlines and walls of stupsn- dous prehistoric forts, you will find the most extensive and impressive series of cairns and stone circles anywhere existing in Scotland. If ancient Inverness was the capital of Pictayia. here was the place of fncineration and sepulture of all those mighty northern hosts from remotest, mist hidden time But turning from con compilation of bogle-haunted cairns, an cient slaughter-pens and wondrous Pagan Metropolis, how fair the valley smiles back, with gleaming river, shimmering bay, glassy lake, and beauteous city, to the September sun. Myriad upon myriad gossamer lines sweep across it from noun tain to cairn, from cairn to spire, from spire to headland, from headland to noun tain again; and along the serrated edges of northern and southern horizon these blend with the tender mists which wreath the peaks above. Those to the south disclose and hide the Grampian range. Those to the north glow in the face of their king, mighty Ben wyvis, and Ben Wyvis hint
 of unknown Highland straths and giens

 An entertaining game for evenings at home is one called Book Reviews" Each player being provided with paper and pen cil, should write at the top of the page the title, real or imaginery, of the book to be reviewed. The paper is then folded over to conceal the writing and passed to the player at the left, who adds 8 second title In the same way are written the name of the author, that of the artist who illustrst- ed, and of the firm who published the work, and these names, each one written by different person, may be genuine or fictitious. It adds much to the interest of the game if the names of persons present are occasionally introduced. After this two short reviews written by different hands and signed with the names of well known authors are furnished, and after @ final passing on the papers are unfolded end read aloud.
