PRESIDENT Police Jury.
j. Il. KEYsER, Clerk, (per CABEEN).

During the administration of Pres
ident Arthur there was never any
allusion to the South as a separate
and distinct section of the country.
In his messages to Congress, he
spoke of the Union-never of the
North and South. Mr.. Cleveland
followed the same course. He was
President of united country, and
he ignored sectionalism.
President Harrison turned back
the hands of the clock, and attempted
to restore the sectionalisms of former
administrations. The result is seen
of all men. The people have repu-
dated sectionalism, it is to be hoped,
and have set their faces toward the
rising sun.

Tin Plate Manufacture.

One of the important changes
wrought by the Mckinley tariff bill,
and one concerning which there was
a great deal of discussion was the
more than doubling the rate of duty
on tin plate. This was done, it was
said, for the purpose of encouraging
the manufacture of tin plate in this
country, not pound being at pres
ent made here AS soon as the bill
passed glowing accounts were sent
broadcast announcing that tin plate
manufactures would be started at
various points.
Now comes the news that the men
who were at the head of these under
takings after having examined the
subject thoroughly have come to the
conclusion that even under the new
rate the manufacture of tin plate
cannot be carried on at a profit in
this country. The Mckinley law in
creases the rate of duty on tin plate
from one cent to two and two-tenth
cents per pound, increasing the cost
of every article of tin ware used
In spite of this increase which will
be felt by every person, nothing will
be accomplished by it.
A number of gentlemen who have
Investigated the subject have deter
minded that tin plate cannot be man
ufactured at a profit in this country
with less tariff rate than four cents
a pound. The result, then, of The
tariff legislation is that the people
everywhere viii be compelled to pay
increased prices for every article o
