From Proteciionist Philadelphia issues

MoCreigh., John Pfeitfer IL Co., the
Oriental Manufacturing Company and
hundreds OF other Philadelphia concerns,
besides other hundreds from 10 different
states, sets forth that the enormous and
uncalled.fur advance" ia asked FOR In the
interest OF few against millions of con-
sinners from Congress pledged to
revision, or, in other words, reduction
of the tariff upon which promise
thousands OF workers in tin-piste voted
for such reduction" ''rhsre are now
! about 100, 600 workmen directly or inai-
reotly connected with induhtries in this
| country that use timed plates as raw
material, while 90 900, 900 Of our people
! in this country consume cannsd goods, as
| against 28 900 to 3D,DnO workmsn that
now manufacture oil the timed plates
that are used and consumed in all tile
world" The proposed increase of the
duty, the petitioners affirm, would destroy
| the tin.roo6ng, canning and mGnufac-
| tured tinwars industries. One very in
| teresting statement is made in the circu-
lar, as follows:
"W. q. Oronemsyer, Pittsburg, ap-
peared In December, 1889, before the
present ways and means committee and
urged that the duty on tin and terne
plates be made % cents per pound, which
would be an advance Of $50 per cent over
the present duty OF l cent per pound.
This ia tho aama W. O. Oronemeyer,
Pittsburg, who IN a printed circular
signed w. o. Oronemeyer, secretary,
September 26.h, 1885, saga as follows:
1T is fact that we can prove by figures
that tin plates can be made here pitts
burg) and sold with profit at present
selling pricss.'"
Thus only three months after his pub
lished statement that ''tin plates can be
made and aold with q profit at present
selling prices" Mr. CroDemoyer waH
urging an increase in tina duty of $50
per cent, and that at time when the
selling prices" Of tin and terne were
from Is to 40 per cent higher than the
prices of September, which afforded him
"a profit"

rian General Assembly to-day the report of
the Committee on Synodical Records, wss
read. The suggestions were mostly ap-
proved. The report of the Standing Com
mlttee on Publication was delivered bw its
Chairman, DR.. Howard Crosby. Resoiu.
hons were offered approving the work and
recommending the appointment of a COM
mlttee to consider the expediency of pub

In the German and Scandinavian lam
guages.
The text of the resolution adopted con-
cerning the use of the Bible in public
schools is as follows:
WHEREAS, A recent decision of the Supreme
Court in one of the States affirmed the Bible q,
sectarian book and its use in the public schools
unconstitutional; and whereas. we see in this
decision no mere local matter such as affects
simply the people of that State but the culmin-
alton OF that effort which is being made with
| relentless pertinacity by a foreign hierarchy to
overthrow the system of public schools through
Rtsotred, That we affirm the importance of
our public schools to the welfare of our people;
that with intellectual cultivation must go moral
training, or schools may prove curse rather
than a blessing. But this neral training must
be based on religion, otherwise its sanction
Will not be strong enough to grasp the con-
science OF the people, orits utterances obligatory
enough to shape their character; that as the
Bible is the source Of the highest moral teach
ing. we regard its exclusion from public schools
as menace to the national welfare and we
urge members OF the church to so arouse public
thought on this subject from the pulpit, the
press ana ecclesiastical assemblages, that this
book shall be restored to its true place in our
system of education.

rageous case of the abduction of an immi.

A few days before the steamer arrived,

Miss Calvin asked her uncle, Michael Gal
vim, to accompany her to the Office OF the
Emigration Commissioners in New York,
where they expected to meet the girl.
On their arrival on Thursday night they
found that the girl had arrived and that she
had been turned over to man who repre-
sented himself as Michael Calvin, the
girls uncle. They were also told that this
man claimed to live on Fifty-seventh street,
New York. Calvin and his niece went to
the address given and found vacant lot.
This afternoon the girl became somewhat
lucid, and said that she had been taken to
house by her supposed uncle. where she
had been given something to drink. After
that she said everything was a blank, Miss
Regan was brought to the barge Office. ex-
amined by two physicians and declared in

lum at Amityville, Long Island.
