IT is a significant fact that en-
pIoyes of the Government do not
appear to be contributing very lib
orally to the Republican campaign
fund in Iowa, New York, Ohio and
elsewhere this year as was expected.
Their salaries have been withheld
for some time owing to the en-
barra8sment Of the Treasury Off
Gals to meet the heavy drain on
the depleted Treasury, which is
acknowledged by the Republicans
to be temporary cramp." The
"pinch" hasn't come yet.

In the estimation of Congress-
man MCMILLIN, Republicanism is
doomed. This was made evident
when all the returns were in from
last falls elections, but it is also
agreed that it is going to take some
very hard work yet to enforce the
sentence, and this can only be done
when Democracy takes the aggres-
sive ndforces the fghtingall along
the line.

The Republican convention Of
Nebraska last week endorsed the
HARRISON administration in a very
formal manner, but the name of
BLAINE brought forth round af-
ter round of cheers. 1t is evident
that the man from Main is the only
Presidential possibility with the
Nebraska Republicans. But wait.
The New England plutocrats will
declare the issue and name the tick

The st. Louis Republic proves
the Mckinley lead medal to be a
fraud on its face, as well the pre-
tence of MCKINLEY and others that
under the workings of the McKin-

tin-plate factories are springing up
all over the country. In the mean
time the high-price of genuine tin

4 RASE FRAUD EXPOSED.

a BASE Fra I'd EAPOSED.
One of the Mckinley campaign
"tin-plate" medals, issued from an
alleged tin-plate works, at Piqua,
Ohio, fell into the hands Of the st.
Louis Republic few days ago, and
fac-simile of the medal as it is
now being circulated in Ohio as
the emblem Of Republicanism was
given in the columns Of that paper.
Suspecting that instead of being
high-grade tin-plate a steel sheet
coated with pure tin, as it profess
ed to bet was merely cheap iron
dipped in lead, the Republic sent
it to Messrs. REGIS CHAUvENET &
BRO, ST. Louis, the best known
analytical chemists in the West,
and this is their report Of it:
We have made a qualitative analysis
of the medal sent us and find results as
follows
The medal is a circular piece of metal
with the inscription, Mckinley and
Protection, Made of Ohio Steel and
California Tin. Piqua, 1891"
The composition of the medal is
wrought template, of rather inferior
grade, covered with very thin coating
of tin and lead alloy, in which the lead
largely predominates. There is certain
ly no steel in its composition, and we
doubt very much the source claimed for
the tin.
This analysis of the american
tin" medals, which have been dis
tributed throughout Ohio during
the present campaign to emphasize
the benefits Of protection, speaks
for itself. The Republic says:
SO this is what Mckinley and Pro
lection meant Mr. KCKINLEYs badges
of "Ohio steel and California tin are
as shoddy as the rest of the monopoly
goods we get when we give an honest
dollar for a Mckinley dollars worth
We are taxed $44 ton on tin-plate tc
