Hoquiam washingtonisn.
OF late the people OF the Or " q hsrbor country
have been wondering what novice has been put
into the editorial mana Sement of the Tacoma
Ledger. paper watch, BY the way. 10 som what
notorious for its generally cratic course in mat
ters political In it, ineous dsrate boo nings of
Calkins for the United Stat s senate, IL has at
last sum bed into the grossess OF insu e to she
representative Republicans OF Cneha is county,
without scarce an attempt TO qualify It's broad
est statements. In an article la Mondays Led
ger will bs found this remarkable assertion:
'Mr. Finch and every prominent Republican
OF Chehalis county was an arient advocate and
warm supporter of Mr. squire, were actively
and IniHstrously engaged in opposing Mr.
Cooper aud In advocating the election OF Mr.
Johnson This has been admitted. IL 10 too
notorious to permit OF denial"
The chsrge is very sweeping, and the ques-
ton will naturally -rf-e: Who are the "prom-
ineat Republicans" referred tor
The Ledger says, every ardent advocate and
warm supporter of Mr. Squire" These were
engaged in oppo,ing Mr.. Cooper and advoca-
ting NJ. Joanson's election"
t. make Any argument against these prepos-
ferrous ass rtions wa d be 70 half admit the
truth. 1t will be srficient, as far - the Ledger
fs'concerned. At least TO pu, the statements in .
strong light that an outraged and leading con-
tingent of Q great party may be properly in
formed Is 70 the Interpretations made
against them by one Of the unloading great pa
pers of the City of Destiny.
The Tacom@ Globe had essayed to do the dirty
work of the campaign, but it appears the Ledger
was not satisfied with the work done, and 10 de-
termined TO show its own dirty palm, even at
the expense of lis bodily susten ance.
II Montesano IL satisfied with the Ledger's re-
markabie cou Sc. we'd recommend that she tie
herself to the Globe-Ca X MS Ledger purse-ssrings
and cut loose from the Harbor Country.

ABOUT Tin PLATE.

Hon. +. s. Niedringhaus, at present
member of congress from the ST. Louis
(Mo district. has been interview on the
discusses with much intelligence. being es-
pecially qualified by experience in the
manufacture, which he, in conjunction
with his brothers and others, Is about to
engage in on q much larger scale. His en-
dorsement Of the tin tariff 10 particularly
of supposed party policy be originally OPP
posed it.
On this peint he furnishes the following
interesting information: "One morning"
says be, while the Republican members
of the ways and means committee were in
session, entered the room to protest
against the increase of duty on tin plates
as being against party expediency. but upon
being closely questioned on the subject
had to admit that from Q national stand
point the committee was correct, and that
the plate should be made here, whereupon
Mckinley stated that it was the duty of
the com mittee to do what was best for the
American people. although the party might
momentarily suffer"
In reply one of the pleas that had bsen
urged against the duty-that it would. in
raising the price OF cans increase the price
of miik-Mr. Niedringhsus showed that on
. gallon eau, which would last three years
and serve 100 gallons OF milk, the tariff
would be 2k cents, which would be the
amount OF TAX il would impose upon an
years. In addition he exhibited Chicago
price list of certain grades of imported tin
ware. and offered to guarantee that If the
tariff were not molested the American
manufactures win be supplied at . discount
of 10 to 20 per cent below those prices
Taking no account OF reported tin dis
coveries in the Black Hills and elsewhere,
this authority declares that this country
stands on the same or better footing
than England for obtaining the block tin,
as the home supply of England is about
exhausted and the bulk OF the tin used In
that country is procured from Australia
and the Dutch islands, whence we could
obtain it more chsaply. and have the ad-
vantage IN cheapness of fuel.
II viii guarantee" saws Mr.. Niedring-
haus [who is very wealthy man and large
ly engaged in manuiacturingl. shat the
people OF the United States, and the farm
ers Of this country in particular, will be
able to buy rs much tinware made OF
American ,in-plstes under the Mckinley
bill for 81 as they could buy for s. before
the war, and of better quality than they
are now buying" That bill. in his judg-
ment will put to work 100000 men who
would otherwise be idle. and will keep at
home at least 100000, O0) that we have
