/" You Can't"

The Democratic party has well been
styled by ex- Governor Foraker the party
of cant" 1t has opposed every wise
measure calculated 10 benefiv the cOun-
try during the last thirty years.
In 1876 they said, with their Green
back allies, you can't resume specie
payment. You will bankrupt and ruin
the country" Yet the fallacy of their
arguments was long since demonstrated
beyond dispute
They said 1--WE never can make steel
rails in this country" but every one
knows how the imposition of IA protect
i've tariff made this possible and gradu-
ally lowered the price, until to-day they
sell for $50 per ton, instead of $3.50,
which they brought before the tariff
was levied.
they said, ooh! you can't make plate
glass; and they howled themselves
frantic over that, ten years ago; but a
protective tariff made that possible also,
and to-day we manufacture as good
plate glass as is made, and as cheaply
rs anyone.
And now they say, You can't! You
can't! You can't! make tin plate! And
yet, though the tariff on this industry has
been in force but one short year, there
are upwards of thirty factories in this
country that are making, or getting
ready to maze, tin plate; and when in
full operation, will turn out upwards of
5000 boxes per day.
If this is to be the effect of the McKin-
ley bill, we say all praise is due to the
major and his colleagues for the tariff
which makes the new industry possible
At the rate new manufactures are
starting up, it will only be short time
before American workmen, paid in
American wages, will be making all the
tin plate used in this country.

The Tariff on Barley.

The Mckinley law increased the duty
forty-eight pounds TO 30 cents per bushel.
According TO a recent dispatch from
Ottawa, Canadian exports of barley to
the United States have declined, by
reason of this high duty, from 10000,
600 bushels annually to A, 10000 bush
els. The lessened exports of Canadian
barley have given American farmers n
home market for their product which
j. very convenient just now, in view of
the large crop of that cereal. The Mich
igan crop report for October places the
average yield of barley in the state at
24.63 bushels, against 1876 bushels in
1890. MichIgan's barley crop, placing
the acreage at $4,000, will not fall far
short of 200, 600 bushels, much larger
total yield than the average. The gov
eminent crop report for October says
of the barley crop of the United States;
1.-The average yield, as consolidated, is
25.9 bushels, figure about four bushels
above the normal average. The aver
age is the largest ever sown. making
the crop largely in excess of any ever
before grown"
The large deficit in importa,ions has,
therefore, been completely made up by
the increased domestic crop, which
finds market prepared and preserved
through the operation of the Mckinley
law in restricting Canadian exporta.
ton. AS result barley is selling al
an average price about the same as
that of last year, but higher than the
prices of 1889 and 1888. The Inference
is reasonable that had the home market
been supplied as heretofore from Cana
dian sources, there would have been a
glut, with consequent lower prices
In this case the farmer has benefited
by the tariff in two ways: BY the pres
ervation of his market, and by the main
tenance of the price of his product

The Campaign in Ohio.

1t is amusing to witness the efforts of
the Democratic newspapers to keep the
courage of their followers up to the
sticking point with reference to the
campaign in Ohio. The Detroit Free
Press in recent issue gravely informed
its readers that "there has been a dis
tinct Improvement in the Democratic
outlook in Ohio during the past week,
and McKinleyism, as a consequence,
has refrigerated. The editor submits
no facts or figures to substantiate the
assertion, and it is this class of state
ments TO which the Toledo Blade refers
when it says:
1.-THE Democrats have lied so persist.
emily about the actual status in Ohio
that there are great many people in
clned to think the campaign is really a
very doubtful one, and that if the Re-
publicans win at all, it will be by very
narrow figures. We must remind these
doubling Thomases that last year, in the
midst of a whirlwind of Justification
against the new tariff law, the Republi.
can plurality on the state ticket was
$4,000, and that on the congressional
ticket the Republicans carried the state
by over 10000. That Major Mckinley
and other Republican candidates for
congress were defeated was not because
of any change of votes, but simply be-
cause of the scoundrelly gerrymandel
of the state by the Democratic legisla
ture. Under the improved condition OF
things this year, and the clear knowl
edge of the masses as to the real work
ings of the new tariff law, it is safe to
say that 10000 is low estimate of Me
Kinley's plurality as governor"

He finds plenty of business awaiting his
practiced hand and clear brain, and
will be plunged at once into several
important diplomatic complications.

there is the ever-present Behring Sea

The questionable methods which
Democratic officials are accustomed to
employ when their self-interest is whet-
ted by iudicious bribery, are well illus
trated by the see-saw policy of the lot
terry fight in the Democratic State Cen
trail Committee of Louisiana. The
chairman of this committee, being an
opponent of the lottery, the appoint
ment of the committee on Credentials
was taken out of his hands by bare
majority of 80 to 80, and, having OBJ
tanned control of this committee, the
Lottery Company now has the power
to unseat all delegates opposed to it.
This power it has already used by GUST
ing the Hon. Chas. Parlance, chairman
of the Anti-Lottery League, ostensibly
for non-residence in the parish he rep
resented, though four Lottery delegates
were allowed To remain, under exactly
the same circumstances. A few months
ago this same Democratic State Central
Committee pretended to favor the de-
cision of the Lottery question by the
white Democratic primaries, yet when
the Anti-Lottery leaders recently sub
mitted proposition to do this, it was
at once rejected, by entering objections
to the most trivial details. Truly this
is a striking illustration of the incon.
sistency SO characteristic of Democratic
policy, and easily explains why the lot
terry lives and thrives in Louisiana, not
outstanding the righteous Indignation
of many of its citizens. The promptness
with which the grand jury at Yankton,
5. d., sat down on this same Lottery
scheme, as soon us their city was made
a partial base for its operations, affords
refreshing contrast to the methods of
our southern brethren, and proves that
"where there's will, there's a way"
even in the suppression of the hydra
headed Louisiana Lottery.

Among the various financial calcula-
lions now being made regarding the
Worlds Fair, it has been estimated that
the expense of every visitor to the great
exposition will be not less than SO per
day, while the average sightseer will
spend double this amount. On this
basis, Chicago expects revenue of
S40O, 900, 900 from this source alone,
while the total benefit to the city is
placed in round numbers at half bill
lion of dollars. No wonder New York
is green with envy.

dent Harrison box of tin manufacture
ed at the Demmler works. Mr.. Crone-
meyer received the following letter in
acknowledgment from the president,
written under date of Oct. 2l:
"My Dear Sir: have your letter of
Oct. 18th and also box of bright tin
plate which you send as specimen OF
the product being turned out by your
company. | have no skill in determin-
ing the character of this work; but, TO
the eye, it seems eminently satisfactory,
and j thank you for this evidence that
new industry has been established in
the United States.
Il cannot quite understand how any
American can doubt that we have the
mechanical skill and business sagacity
10 establish successfully here the manu-
facture of tin plate. No other country
certainly Surpasses us In the inventive
genius of its citizens or in the business
sagacity of its capitalists. 1t is surpris-
ing to me that any patriotic American
should approach this question with a
desire To see this great and interesting
experiment fail, or with an unwilling
ness TO accept the evidences of its sue
cess. 1t will he a great step in the di,
rection of commercial independence
when we can produce our own tin
plate.
g lt seems tome that nothing, unless
it be lack of Faith in the maintenance
of the present law, can thwart this de-
Sirable achievement | can understand
how our success should be doubted and
our failure accepted with satisfaction
in Wales, but | cannot understand how
any American can take that view OF the
question or why he should always APP
proach every evidence of the successful
establishment of this industry in this
country with disposition to discredit
and reject it, If the great experiment
is to fail, our own people should not
add to the modification of failure the
crime of rejoicing in it."
