OF the tin used by the Welsh tin plate makers
is imported from the Straits of Malacca and
Australia. 1t can be imported into this
country just as cheaply as into England.
The two chief objections urged against the
experiment of tin plate making in this
country. namely, that we lack the tin and
have not the skilled labor, are thus conclu-
siEely answered by Mr.. Mckinley. II being
shown then that the manufacture of tin
plate on large scale is practicable. the
question remains, is it desirable. Last year
we consumed 100000 tens of tin plate, on
which we paid 100000 duty. AS no tin
pate was made in this country this $7,OoO,-
oOo was q revenue duty and was added to
the cost to the consumer. The additional
duty will add trife to the cost to the con-
sumer, until enough mills are established In
this country to supply the demand, and then
competition and new processes which will
undoubtedly be introduced will reduce the
price below what it is today or has been in
the past, except possibly for the short time
when the English were engaged in crushing
out our feeble mills. This has been the his
tory of the effect of every duty imposed
under such circumstances. So that eventu-
ally the consumer will be benefited by getting
his tin plate at lower price. But this will
not be all. A tin plate industry which can
supply our demand will give employment
to $4,000 men directly, while in
directly, by creating an additional demand
for coal and ores, and for various other artl-
c,es that enter into the manufacture of tin
plate. employment will be given to at least
$4,000 men additional. Viewed in the light
of Mr.. McKinley's explanation tin plate
making in this country is by no means the
visionary scheme which its opponents have
represented. Indeed 1t is so entirely practi-
cal as to have caused our English friends
great alarm; for we find the London Iron
and Steel Traders Journal of the 18th of
May in discussing the Mckinley bill making
this very significant admission:
"The most important item in the proposed new
schedule is that affecting tin-plates The duty is
now cent per pound, and the suggested tariff is
cents and 2.10 cents per pound. II this is car
rted the occupation of threefourths of those en-
gagged IN the ti1aIate trade a0U be gone and our
manufacturers and their tCorhne7l If they CON
tt7e In the business must employ their cdpitdI

We are very glad to read this item of news
although we confess that we are surprised to
find 1t in the columns of the able free trade
champion of the Granite State 1t denotes
an improved condition of the, wooden goods
business that we should imagine our esteemed
contemporary would be anxious to conceal,
In view Of the fact that that dreadful Nc
Kinley bill says something about wool, and
that the same bill is slowly but surely Gid
ing through Congress. Perhaps the People
and Patriot is too busily engaged In its at
tempts to drive Senator Chandler to sui
cide's grave to give as strict attention to the
wool market as it should. We respectfully
suggest that 1t let Senator Chandler alone
for time, as he is not promising subject
for humiliation so far as present indications
go. and that facts and figures showing the
thoroughly rotten state of the wooden goods
business, varied by occasional raids against
the census and Postmaster General Wanna
maker, form the theme for its editorial vaga-
ries In the future.

PERTINENT CRITICISM.
boston Journal
The Portland PRESS passes a pertinent
criticism on the recent Maine Republican
Convention when it regrets that the resolu-
tions "lack specific declaration in favor of
the Australian ballot system. OF course the
resolution favoIing any legislation which
will tend to purify the ballot is broad enough
to cover this system, but when particular
system has been tried and found effective, as
has the Australian system, it seems to us
that it is the part.of wisdom to.indorse it def
nitely and specifically" That is doubtless
the sentiment Of very large share of the
Republicans of Maine.

There seems to be substantial unanimity
of opinion among the Democrats that the
State committee cannot supply Democratic
candidate for governor In the present emer-
gency, but that convention must be called
Whether, however, that convention shall be
the old convention reassembled, or new
one composed of delegates chosen by new
caucuses, is, question on which there is nc
rs yet general concurrence. 1t would seem
that the old convention ceased to be the
moment it had performed the duty for which
1t was called together, and therefore now
had no existence Practically, however, the
question is perhaps of little Importance, as
new caucuses would probably select for the
most part the old delegates. 1t is generally
admitted that the new convention will have
thepower to frame an entirely new platform
lift sees fit, as well as to select new candi-
date. There is chance, therefore, for the
renewal Of the fight between prohibition
and license.

In his admirable impromptu speech at the
State convention Hon. Henry b. Cleaves
said that the Republicans in Congress had
been for six months trying to convince..the
Democrats that the Republicans had some
rights which the Democratic minority was
bound to respect and that they were gradu-
ally becoming convinced. Since then Hon.
Roger Q. Mills Of Texas has declined posi-
ton on the House committee on rules. quite
willing that some other man should continue
to carry to out the programme which he
announced when Congress assembled. 1.-THE
Democrats propose to rule Congress-" he
then said, ''just the same as they did, even
though they are in the minority" 1t looks
as II Mr.. Mills at least is fully convinced.

cept the Ne thcrands, voted for single gold stand
ard, and after holding few more sessions. the
meeting was adjourned. The next one, which
was held in 1878, was well attended. and number
OF propositions were brought forward; but IS the
delegates could como to no satisfactory conclus-
ions. the meeting was adjourned. The third and
last one. held In 1851 was also well attended and
the subject thoroughly discussed. The delegates
from large number of the countries said that
they hal been instructed not to enter into any
discussion concerning the establishing offs double
standard because their governments had no in
tcntion whatever Of abandoning their single
standard. This meeting accomplished nothing
and was adjourned until April l!th Of the follow
ing year. but for som, unknown reason the dele
gates failed TO meet again.
The fact that at these three conferences large
majority OF the countries represented decided
that they would do nothing at all towards the
establishment OF a double standard. ought 70
prove that double standard Is not as favorable to
the interests OF the people IS is the single standard
When the United states talked of resuming specie
payments on a single gold standard, every ono
said that it could not possibly be done. and, even
If it could, il would put such strain Oil the gold
resources OF the country that prices would be
permanently lowered and cause severe distress
among our people. Yet we did 1t. aud with what
result Prices in general did not decline, but, on
the contrary have been rising constantly since lss
Most OF the arguments In favor Of bimctallism
are based on the assumption that legal tender
acts possess some virtue that will compel the pco
pie 70 keep their accounts and make their trades
in kind Of money they do not like. This Is
right where the bimctallst is dcceiving himself,
for II is against human nature for a man to &C
cept q thing that he does not like when lie can
just as well have what he likes
Let us make comparison between this change
in the commercial habits Of the people and sOme
geological change. As the environments Of ami
mails change, the animal also changes, adapting
itself to It's surroundings; and At the beginning
OF a new geological age. new animals. or new
forms Of old animals appear. and drive out the
old forms. 1t is always true that these new forms
are better adapted to the new age and are usually
OF higher order than those Of the preceding
age Now il is the same with the transition from
the double to the single standard When the
double standard was common the conditions OF
trade were such that silver money thrived but
with the beginning of this new era, gold bugs.
with their new IDEAS appeared on the scene, and
the conditions OF trade were such rs favored this
new form, the single standard.
The same truth we have in geology, viz. that
the new form is better adapted 10 the condition
oithings than the old also holds good here. So too.
as in gcogoly will the newer aud stronger animal,
the .gold bug" drive out. in course of time, the
old time bimctallic insect, or make him seek
safety in subordination.
