Tin Plates for u Democratic Feast.

If our Free trade contemporaries
have asserted one thing more siren
uously than another 1T has been the
impossibillty Of making tin plates in
this country under the encourage
ment Of the Mckinley bill duties.
We are therefor somewhat surprised
to find in one of them a dispatch from
Chattanooga, giving particulars of
a banquet to be held there on Thurs.
day, at which the guests will lie served
with course on tin plates. The han
quet is planned in honor of John H.
lnman, Nathaniel Baxter r., and
\. NJ. Shook, three prominent SOUTH
ern business men and democrats, and
among the invited guests arr. such DEM
ocrats as Grover Cleveland, Abram S.
Hcwett, John G. and Patrick Calhoun,
Calvin S. Brice, General Joe Wheeler,
and j. Edward Slmmons-all. of
course, opponents of the Mckinley
tariff. The occasion Of the banquet is
to celebrate the making Of basic steel
by the open hearth process from low
grade Southern iron ore. The tin
plates are to be used because Congress-
man Niedringhans of St. Louis is
using this steel Us the basis OF tin
plates which he is turning out Of his
St. Louis plate mills, in which he is
encouraged by the Mckinley bill. The
Congressman himself will bs among
the guests, and will have the oppor.

Reciprocity Which We DO Not Want.

Mr.. Mills seems to have a larger ca
pacity for doddering idiocy on the sub
ject of foreign trade than any other
man in the public eye. In speech on
Friday he said: IF reciprocity is
wanted, why not negotiate with Eng
land, France and Germany?" Why,
you precious old ninny. what is the good
of reciprocity with nations which wish
to sell us such things as we can manu-
facture or produce ourselves? Is there
any sense in our buying iron products
from England when we have inexhaus-
tible supplies of iron ore and coal to con-
vert the same into pig iron in our own
country, and plenty of men to work the
pigs up into all sorts of shapes? What
profit would result from letting our own
cotton and wooden mills stand idle in
order that we might buy cotton and
wooden goods from England? Would
it be sensible for us to close our silk
factories in order TO take the products
of French looms, or our hosiery mills
to Oblige German manufacturers No
man with a shade of business sense
would advocate anything of the kind.
1t is only that economically rotten part
of the community which shares the ideas
of the old-time Calhounites and seces-
sionists that still believes the United
States, should produce raw materials for
Great Britain and other foreign coun-
tries to put into shape and sell back to
Us at an immense profit. No patriotic
American ever advocates anything of
the kind, and the blush of shame man
ties his cheeks when he hears men call
ing themselves Americans urging that
we should remain hewers of wood and
drawers of water for foreigners.-San

Another Triumph for Protection.

Score another triumph for protection
to home industry, and set down March
IA, 1891, as the date. This day the first
steel steamer ever built on Lake Michi-
gan glided into the waves at the mouth
of Calumet river from the stocks of the
Chicago Ship Building Company. The
Marina, as this harbinger of new era
in our inter-ocean iron industry will be
hereafter known, is a vessel of such
size and equipment as to warrant the
pride of any shipbuilder. Her dimen-
siOns are: sos feet length, 40 feet beam.
with 24L depth of Moderated for 8. 600
tons-equipped with machinery of tho
most approved type. She is the first of
series to be turned out by the new
yards as rapidly as men and money can
be profitably crowded into the work.
From the fact that all of the new
company's machinery is not yet in posi-
ton, the material for some of the out
side work on the Marina and her twin,
to be launched in April, was prepared
in Cleveland, but as soon as arrange
ments to that end can be accomplished,
it is the cOmpany's intention not to 90
outside of the works for anything ex-
cept iron ore, other raw materials and
fuel.
The Marina is the property of the Min
nesOta Steamship Company, and will 90
into commission at the opening of lake
navigation for regular service between
the Superior iron region, Chicago and
Cleveland, as will also her mate, now
nearly ready for launching.
The shouts of approval from 5000 pa
triotic throats that greeted this first
born of a newly-created industry. as
she gracefully adjusted herself from
her baptismal plunge. must have been
the opposite of reassuring to those
prophets of evil who have continually
invoked disaster upon every attempt at
competition in those industries which
have hitherto been mOnopOliZed by
foreign capitalists and employees forced
to work for such wages as were offered.
How the Postal Subsidy bill Will Work.
That always interesting maritime
journal, the SeabOard, grows eloquent
over the passage of the Po,tal Subsidy
bill. Its passage will mean" says an
editorial in that paper, THE establish
ment of American steamship lines to
the River Platte. It will mean the
building of the finest ships ever built
in America to compete with the fine
ships of the Canadian railroad system
out of Victoria, Il c. 1t will mean the
esta blishment of q steamship line to
SouthamptOn-ship that will give En-
gland start--ships that will mark the
beginning of the downfall of England
as the greatest maritime nation in the
world 1t will mean that an increase
in size and speed of all steamships now
engaged in the foreign trade will at
once commence-it will mean that all
the benefits which the bill affords will
be utilized. 1t will have the effect Of
educating Americans to the pOssibili-
ties OF our maritime greatness and. pos
sibly, result in bringing to q future
Congress attention the fact that aid to
American shipping means prosperity in
all American homes
