The Morning Neios seeks to convey the
impression that the proposed tin plate
windle is objected to only BY tHrif re-
orm Democrats and by the msnafsc-
nrers of South Wales. For the latter
ne Nsps argues that 1t would be grand
achievement to crush them out of exist
noe. We might ask in reply what It Is
,Ant these Welsh tin plate makers have
.lcns to the Morning Meas, and to fanat-
sSsal proteotioDists generally, to cause
sahe latter to hate them so ferociously that
they are willing to tax the American
people $l5, 100000 per year to ruin
,s55, 600 or 80, 900 workingmen over thereG
course the real eject would be, in the
cry improbable event of this swindle
.oing anything to promote the establish
nent in this country of this "sinee 1879
unborn infant industry" (as the National
Association OF Canned Goods Packers
styled it), to simply transplant few
hundreds or thousands of these Welsh
tin plate makers to this country but the
contingency Of anything being aocomp-
lished beyond doubling the cost of tin
plate to the American consumer Is too
remote for serious confederation.
"But do they (the Democratic tariff
reformsrs) know" anything about this,
asks the NesCs. Well, if they do not, it
must be conceded that the canned goods
men do. Their national association,
which recently met in Baltimore, repre-
sented the subordinate packers assOcia-
tions of pretty much the whole United
States. That national association was
not q political body, nor an assemblage
Of ignorant alsrmists. 1t was business
gathering, composed of picked men who
knew exactly what they were talking
about. It was presided over by liz.
L. G. Seager Of Gilman, Iowa, who in
introducing the business of the day said:

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The oonsiders-
ton of the Idaho Admission bill having
been resumed in the Senate to-day, Mr..
Vance took the floor in opposition to it
on the following grounds: The prelim-
mary proceedings had been unauthorized
by any legislation; the population Of the
territory was not sufficient to entitle 1t to
one representative in the House; the con-
stitution under which 1t proposes to come
into the Union WAS not in conformity
with the constitution Of the United
States in that ii proscibed and disfran-
chised men for their religious opinion,
and the apportionment OF its Legislative
districts was 30 notoriously unfair and
one-sided that 1t ought mot to receive the
sanction of fair and honest men In the
, Senate.
If Moses were alive to-day, he said, he
could not be mayor of rossroads town
in Idaho. King Solomon, in all his glory,
could not issue q warrant for 81 cents,
and King David could not serve the war
rant, and the rabbi could not sit upon
the Jury that tried the case. The prophets
of God could not be overseers OF the
road along which ,hey travelled with san
dsled fect to deliver the divine message
OF wrath TO sinful citizens. The ap.
pointment OF the legislature WINS a I'll
commentary on such godlinsss. The Goa
stitution should be'sent back and suof
proscripiive features wiped out.
The bill was passed without diyision.

The Baltimore Sun says; "The oppo-
elton of MIR. Blaine to the Mckinley tariff
bill and the proposed federal elections
law is highly creditable to him and ought
to strengthen him where ne has always
been weakest-in the good opinion of the
conservative element of his party. Until
his views were made known it seemed Is
if there was no longer any sense OF pa
triotism or responsibility among the Re-
publican leaders, but that all were COM
mitted irrevoosbly to the brutal policy
formulated by Speaker Reed, of rule or
ruin.' The revulsion from the high
handed methods of the party managers
to which MIR. Blaine has given the initia-
tive has been slow in coming, but it
should be none the less formidable be-
cause OF the delay"

The New York Tribune, of few days
days ago, with ingenious inconsistency,
made the successful establishment OF an
unsubsidi2ed American steamship line to
Venezuela the text for an argument on
the necessity of paying bountiea for ex-
tending our oomme,ce to South American
nations. This was, In effect, using what
has been and is being done to demon
strate that the same thing cannot be
done. This American line was estab-
lished within the past eleven years by
New York house, which had built mp
remunerstive trade, by sailing vessels,
with Venezuela. This house, says the
Tribune, ''perosived that in order to
maintain its ground it must substitute
fast steamers for its sailing ships. It
now has 14.knot steamers in service be-
tween New York and the Venezuelan
ports and Curacao, sailing every ten days
and connecting With steam tenders which
collect freight at Ooro and Maracaibo.
At Caracas, La Guayra, Puerto oapello,
Ooro, Maracaibo and Curacao 1t has
branch houses. There is. quick transit
for freight under tho American dag, with
American energy and competition on
Shore" As q consequence of this
exhibition of that genuine manly
American energy which, instead OF
sitting down and begging for ''proteo-
tion" and "subsidies," pulls off its coat,
rolls up its sleeves and goes to work,
asking no favors, the Tribune reports;
Everywhere else In the southern conti-
mont, England, France and Germany
have o marked superiority over the
United States in the volume OF foreign
trade, but in Venezuela the conditions
are reversed. For the last two years for
which statistics are furnished at Caracas
the aggregate volume of the United
States trade, exports and imports, is
nearly three times as great as that OF
either England or Germany and more
than double Rs much as that of France"
And this has been accomplished in spite
OF the fact that "the conditions are not
particularly favorable FOR the develop
nient Of the American export trade,
since Venezuela impo es an enormous
duty on imported breadstuffs. Suppose
that Congress should have the wi1dom to

Reporters ON New York papers arc
getting some novel assignments now.
The World recently deputed one of its
staff to secure the requisite police pro-
lection and then open and run gambling
saloon. The reporter worked the matter
up 30 we'll that IN few weeks he had
two gambling dens, in different precincts,
in full running order, under arrange
ments that made the business as safe as
running a grocery store. He had to shell
ont cash rather literally 10 fix things; deteo-
lives, ward men, ex-aldsrmen, politicians
with pulls" and a lawyer or two coming
in Tor share, and now he is making it
uncomfortable for these people by writ
ing up the whole business, with names,
dates, fac SMILES OF vouchers and Other
accessories and incidents.

of Louisiana, yesterday, land the men
now ready to separate f.om the Demo-
cratic party would get back into what
they were told was the white mans party

of course these men are regarded by
Speaker Reed and his followers as politi-
cal heretics who do not know that cleo
tions should be run by party caucus at
Washington.

Psotectionists and fat-fryers all over
the country are still anxiously asking
what in ths name OF all that is holy about
the war tariff could have induced Mr..
Blaine 70 cast that free trade South
American frebrand into the Reed McKin-
ley camp. But the answer is obvious.
II was simply rush OF thought to the
brain. Mr. Blaine's association with the
Pan American delegates lifted him up so
that he could look over the wall proteo-
tion has built around the United States
and contemplate the business opportuni-
ties that lay outside. There he saw,
among other things, o little island group,
with population o. 81, 900, 600, whose
commerce whitsns every sea, carrying
British manufactures to lands geogrsphi-
cally our neighbors, while British capital Is
seeking Investment everywhere by the
hundreds of millions OF dollars. Tho
London Times psnieky cablegrarn from
Buenos Ayres Of Monday last, drew pub.
lie attention to the fact that England
holds tho bulk of the bonded debt and
furnishes the bulk OF the banking capital
of the Argentine Republic. Take almost
any nation on earth and we find British
capital potent there. Evon in our own
land, we see British capital seeking in
vestment every day. In Europe, British
capital furnishes largely the sinews of
war or aids in keeping up The immense
military camps Of modern nations. This
little island kingdom manufactures forth
world, trades for the world and banks
for the world. Yet it has little more
than half the population of the United
States, and in natural wealth stands
nowhere compared to this country.
MIR. Blaine looked over our tariff WALL
saw this little island kingdom, so far
behind uH in natural resources, territory
and population, doing the manufacture
ing, commerce and banking of South
America, and it set him to thinking. As

Very nearly one-half of the deaths
recorded in the Philadelphia papers are
of infants under one year of age, on
whom the prevailing hot weather is par
ticularly deadly. Yet nobody thinks OF
Philadelphia as city exceptionally un-

in Chicago would appear in the CORE
spondence Of New York papers as "fatal
