It's Exact Effects.

just how the business of producing and
the provisioning trade are effected by the
high tariff on tin plate and the consequent
rise in price of tin cans, is now well shown
By the National Prorisioner. Here are the
facis it has been at the trouble to find with
great exactness for the information of the
trade for which it is the organ
We have Investigated the machinery
required and the amount needed to estab-
lish a tin plate mill or factory in this coun-
try, and we find that it will probably take
at least a years slow and careful construc-
tion for The machinery, furnaces, buildings,
etc, and an expenditure Of about $I50,G00
to 100000 to establish tin plate mill
which is large enough to made Tin plates in
commercial quantities rnd in quality equal
to the imported goods, and with any posi-
bility of competing in price. Whatever is
done at present in this line is either done
for political effect or for advertising rather
than for business purposes
No tin plate for canning purposes is made
in this country; whatever is used is impor-
ted, and Of poor quality at that.
While the large packers may derive some
benefit from the drawback allowed on
exported tin cans, and while the foreign
consumers may thus enjoy an advantage,
the American people, and principally the
workingmen and farmers, have 10 bear the
brunt of the protection which they enjoy,
and pay the taxes on lin plate when buy
ing canned goods while none is made in
this country at present or can be made for
some time II is well known that the duty
on tin plate was consented to in the House
only By q small majority, and we have
hopes and assurances that one Of the first
duties and tasks of the next Congress will
be to amend the Mckinley Act so that the
dnty on tin plate is removed. 1t is one Of
the most onerous provisions of the whole
law, and surely the most hurtfal 10 the
provision trade

NEW USE FOR DYNAMITE
1t Is Made to DO Duty in Daring
Train Robbery

DEL Rio, Tex, Sept B Telegraphic
advices from Samuel Tex, a small sta
ton on the Southern Pacific railway, To-
Gated in a thinly settled section, gives
an account Of a daring train robbery
committed by six masked men at that
place shortly after midnight.
All the money and valuables in the
safe in the express car were secured by
the robbers. as well as several sacks Of
mail and registered packages from the
mail. The amount of money obtained
cannot be learned, but it will doubtless
reach into tens of thousands.
The train was just pulling out from
the station when six masked men, who
had selected their positions, simultan-
eously mounted the engine, mail and
express cars, two men for each of these
positions. Over forty shots were fired,
literally perporating the baggage and
express cars without injuring any one,
when an unexpected mode Of procedure
was adopted of exploding dyna-
mite cartridge against small window
IN the express ear.
The effect of this was to tear the win
dow out and otherwise damage the car.
The express messenger was stunned,
but he recovered in a few minutes, only
to be overpowered by the robbers and
made to give up his safe keys. The
robbers took their time in doing the
JOB and with the utmost GOODNESS and
exhibition of nerve Horses were in
readiness for them, and on the com
pletlon OF their work the bandits rode
rapidly away and are now in Mexico,
beyond the reach of the authorities.

The express messenger, Angel. made

any one was killed or not is not definite

lasted few moments. Then one of the
masked men placed the muzzle of re-

Day after day the newspapers publish
accounts of strikes and prospective strikes
by workingmen. How many Of these
struggles against reduction of wages. have
they won during the past year? Very few
indeed. Capital is reinforced by the oper-
alton Of the Mckinley act, which keeps
out the products Of foreign countries La
Dor is weakened by the operation Of the
Mckinley act, which admits the labor of
foreign countries. The tariff legislation Of
the Republican party has always been in
the interest of capital II capital is entitl-
ed to protective tariff why isn't labor also
entitled TO a protective tariff When
workingmen begin TO size up the tariff
question in their own interest instead of
the interst of their employers there will be
fewer strikes against the reduction Of
wages.

Eran at Last Heard From

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-The state de-
partment has at last heard from Minis
ter Egan. Yesterday afternoon the fol-
lowing dispatch, dated Santiago, Sept.
/, was received:
Blaine, Washington:
"a decisive battle at Valparaiso on
Aug, 2S. Revolution entirely success
full President Balmaceda resigned on
29th. Revolutionists fully installed.
Everything TRANQUIL EGAN.''
The state authorities donoJ know how
it was that Minister Egan did not send
any real intelligence before, and no ex-
PLANTATION has come from him on this
point. Secretary Wharton had only re-
ceived one fraginentary dispatch, and
that described the overthrow of the die
tator as an unimportant engagement
with no result. The state department
have been making efforts since the
events at Valparaiso to establish COM
munications with Mr.. Egan.
1t is believed that Minister Egan has
been recalled from Chile

81. PETERSBURG, Sept 3.- The De-
trothal Of tile czarowitz to the Princess
Marie, of Greece, will shortly be form
ally announced during a visit of the
Jczarina to Athens. 1t is a love match,
the czarowitz adhering to his choice,
despite the advocacy by the czar of a
union with a Montenegrin princess.
According to Russian canonical law
the marriage is within the prohibited
degrees of kinship, but this obstacle
will probably be removed by the con
sent of the holy synod and an imperial
ukase, which is as powerful as a papal
bull, the car being the de facto ecclesi-
astical, as well as lay head of the Russo
Greek church.
