The people Of New York City are ex.
~csptionally fond Of milk ~ . beverage.
TIE New York Sun estimates that they
drink $50, coo glasses . day. To supply
the whole demand from the city about
300. 900 cows are required. One great
restaurant on Washington street uses
1000 quarts Of milk q day in winter and
2,4OO in summer, besides 200 quarts OF
cream daily the year round. A large
hotel In New York uses 700 quarts .
day in sumner and 500 quarts . day In
winter.
The supply OF milk for New York
City extends all the way from ten miles
to 200 miles from the city, and many
parcels Of milk are brought in five, ten
and even twenty miles from the nearest
railway station. New York milk is sup
piled in forty-quart cans, which the milk
trains bring to the city, and from which
the milkmanadelivers the milk to the
consumers in the city. At the great
receiving stations on the railroads when
tho milk is brought into the depot it 10

ton. A soon as it is tested and cooled
and canned it is loaded into a milk car,
which stands on a siding, aud prepared
for it's journey to New York.
Not all of the milk which is brought
into New York City comes in cans, how.
ever. A great deal of it is put in glass
bottles. The people are beginning to
find out that they do not run 90 much
risk in buying in bottles, and they are
willing to pay the extra cent or two
which is charged on each quart. In
fact, bottled milk is becoming popular.
The bottles are filed by machinery,
which will I'LL 1000 bottles in an hour.
As soon as they have been filled they
are packed in cases, and the cases are
buried under ice, in the same car with
the big cans.
It is said that the average consump-
ton of milk in New York City is about
one quart to the ordinary family. OF
course there are many two aud four
quart customers. They are generally
families the members OF which have o
fondness for drinking milk.
The milk train generally arrives in
New York City at about midnight,
loaded with the preceding days milk,
and meets q long line Of wagons, drawn
up awaiting its coming. As o as the
train reaches the city, the drivers of the
various teams jostle and crowd each
other for their milk. From midnight
until three or four o'clock there is Q
great hustle in progress, and as the milk
is delivered the wagons rattle through
the quiet streets OF the city again, bound
for the headquarters Of the various big
milk companies. There the milk is
divided among scores of light wagons,

This advice Of the Liverpool Daily
Post to the Welsh tin plate manufactur-
ers Is an eye opener on this side of the
water:
"You must reduce tho price Of tin plate
at once. Every reduction made by you
increases the chances of choking down
the new American mills for q year or
two. when the Mckinley law may be re-
pealed."
Unfortunately for tho We'shmen they
combined to put up pri es here, and have
made their former monopoly of this
market so odious that the American peo
pie are willing to undergo any hardship
to rid themselves of II. The only way 20
keep at home the $4,000, o03 to $40, Ooo,-
600 wa have been paying them annually
for tin plate is to make it in the Unit d
States, and that Is what we are doing
now. American industry cannot be

ReeIprooity No. Free Frsd,.

Now that reciprocity Is working 30 i'd
mirably 1t has become quite the fashion
for Democratic papers to claim that II Is
free trade OF some kind. There ii moth
ing surprising in these claims. Demo
Gratis are In the habit Of claiming the
honor Of every Republican measure as
soon - It succeeds. But reciprocity is
not free trade. Under free trade IL
would be impossible to have racibrd lily,
for what commercial concessions could
one free trade country make to anothcrp
This Is evidently the English view, for
the St James Gazette says:
I'VE are en%deavorlng to fight the COM
mercial battle OF the world on free trade
lines, and wish to fight 1t out o. these
lines to the bitter end But It is the
most unwise and ridiculous policy to
shut our eyes to the fact that this Il aine
treaty Is q blow to the success OF our
free trade system"
Viewed in England, reciprocity seems
to be something not only entirely differ
ent from free trade, but very inimical to
the political economy OF the Golden
Club. Or rs the 50. jam 3 Gazette puts it:
"Th!s Blaine treaty is q bow to the
success Of our free trade system" Reel.

The Republican party went before the
country last fall on the Mckinley bill.
1t was overwhelmed by the most au.
dacious and malignant misrepresenta-
tons from which an American political
party ever suffered. Two Republican
state conventions haze been held since
that defeat The Republicans of Ohio
unanimously nominated for Governor
the father Of the measure which caused
the disaster to the party. The other
state convention - Iowa-declares it's
uncOmpromising q legiance to the great
principles OF protection in general. and
the Mckinley bill in particular, These
Endorsements have All unmistakab.e sig
n%ificance. Interpreted. they mean that
the Republican party has not receded
IL step from it's historical position on
the tariff question; that the party will
stand or fall by the Mckinley measures;
that the party has lost none of It's ag-
gressiveness by temporary reverses and
that 1t will go before the people of this
country next year and ask for their ver-
dict on the fruits of that bill which has
been under such a ceRseless fire of
partisan misrepresentation. We have
no fear OF the verdict. The peoples
eyes have been opened since Novem-
Der. 1890.

Tho SILK Threads. In PAPER Money.

Au0 HtIA HrOouB ~ kAVSr !" OUeys
In spite Of the skill and industry of
cou%nterfeiters, they have never made o
bill which did not have one or more
vulnerable spots. Some OF the products
Of their handicraft may seem perfect to
the unframed eye, but the expert will
find that each one, like Achilles, has
something lacking in its armor. Per-
haps the feature of good Treasury notes
which counterfeiters have found it most
difficult to initiate is the two blue silk
threads which run leugthwise through
them. They are . little over On inch
apart, and though sometimes almost in
visible, they form part Of every bill is
sued by the Government Bureau of
Printing and Engraving. A. l.. Drum
mond, chief Of the secret service of the
Treasury Department, who has had q
long experience with counterfeiters and
their wares, explained to a Tribune re-
porter recently why it was 80 diff
cult to copy good bills in this respect.
In the first place." he said, "the silk
threads are put in the paper when it is
made at the factory. To make paper of
the kind used by the Government re-
NulIcS u VIZ Pihue uuu AOtS VI C0p1t0Iy 81
counterfeiters are kept out Of it. Even
if they had the necessary money, they
wouldn't be fools enough to risk it all
for the chance of making bogus bills.
1t would be exceedingly Improbable
for Q paper manufacturer who already
has . factory to make the paper, be-
cause to do 70 is apenitentiary offense."
Mr.. Drummond then showed the re-
porter q counterfeit two-dollar bill
which had q single thread running
lengthwise through its center. SThis
is the only bad bill that I ever saw with
Q silk thread in it. Even this has only
one thread, instead Of two. SO it would
not be dangerous to . skilled teller. I
have never heard of more than two
other bills like this one. It is easy to
Zee that the counterfeiter split this
note, put in his thread and then pasted
the two parts together again. The
frayed edges showed that. The fellow
must have been very stupid not to know
that genuine money has two threads iu-
stead of one. An expert can easily tell
when q bill has been split in two and
pasted together again, so the silk
threads would not deceive him."-NeW
