TO appreciate how improbable it is that con-
sumption could thus have grown, had this colh-
try been as dependent upon foreign works rs
it once was, it is only necessary to remember
that the American production has increased
4 300 900 tons in ten years, but the British
production, with all the markets of the world

increased but 1900, 900 tons In thirty years.
OF that increase, moreover, no less than
800 900 tons was shipped to this country in
the form of tin plates, and was therefore caused
by failure to put an adequate duty on that
product
Thirty years ago more than a quarter of all
the iron and steel consumed in this country
was in the form Of rails, - % pounds per
capita, and only 6f 2-3 pounds in all other
forms Now the consumption of rails has in

THE LINE MUST BE DRAWN SOMEWHERE.
From The Boston Journal.
There can be doubt that the scandal OF gerry
Wandering has reached such proportions and is made

Congress has full power To enact such bill that

Another star will soon be added to the Amcri-
can flag. The House of Representatives yes
terday passed the bill admitting Wyoming to
the Union. The vote was 139 to 127, party
lines being closely drawn with the exception
that one Republican voted with the minority.
The logical conclusion from the course OF the
Democrats in the House in this matter is that
they will not favor the admission OF any Ter
ritory as State unless there is an absolute
guarantee that the Democrats shall not only
control it at the time of its admission, but shall
continue to do so indefinitely. Wyoming has
the necessary qualifications for Statehood and
the dignity should no longer be withheld. The
Senate will undoubtedly cordially coincide in
the action of the House.
