Company OF California, stating that those
companies would be able TO supply tin
by July 1. The manufacture of the
plate ia already being done by the United
States Iron and Tin Plate Company, the
st. Louis Stamping Company and Nor
ton Brothers. The others viii soon be In
operation.
It was decided to form a temporary or
ganlzation under the title, "The Timed
Plate Manufacturers Association" j. w
Britton, of the Britton Rolling Mile, was
made chairman, and G. r. Britton secre
tary. With them the following were ap
pointed q committee on organization
B. M. Somers, Alfred Marshall, F. G
Niedringhaus and w. G. Cronemeyer, o1
the United States Iron and Tin Plate
Company.
Senator Nelson w. Aldrich, of ProYi
dence, Rhode Island-a boon companion
of Mckinley and of Porter in his glow
ing speech on "the maintenance of thu
protective system" said:
Notwithstanding the fact that ou
course has been more bitterly assaileC
and more thoroughly misrepresentet
during the past year than ever before
we are not here to apologize for the pas
nor to seek immunity from attack in thu
future. Our opponents assert that in th'
election of 1890 the protective policy wa
finally overthrown and still the Ameri
can people then rendered against It o YER
dict Of permanent condemnation. Yet
see around these tables no traces of the
consciousness of defeat; no evidence O
that despondency which would charac
terize the minority representatives OF
lost cause.
Possibly Senator Aldrich and Superin
tendent Porter could 'see around thes
tables" evidences Of the great hopeful
ness and prosperity Of the American hus
bandman, and Of the men, women ant
children who work In tre manufacturers
mills-but, they were not at the table.
Perhaps Senator Aldrich rejoices tina
the two administration Representative
in Congress from his state were utterl
routed at the polls--the first such defea
for his party there for generation. II
might call to mind the fact that Rhod
Island gave Fremont 57.8 per cent. of il
vote; Lincoln, 61,8 per cent; Harrison
$50 per cent, while It's last Republica
Governor had 45.1 per cent OF its popula
vote.
But Senator Frank Hiscock, of NeV
York, in his speech on the toast, 9TH
Empire State and the Tariff of 1890,
speaks these words Of Republican kDowl
edge and Of wisdom;
noticed the other day an announce
ment that Alliances were to be organizes
In New York. | do not object favo
organization wherever investigation Int
political methods or Of political heresie
are tested by intelligence. Our farmer
will reject Of this new political force al
that is vicious and bad, and garner up al
that is good In Its teachings. They know
their ability to control the policy o
either of the great political parties, AM
have judiciously exercised that powe
rather than engage in the uncertain un
dertaking of the formation of new par
ty to advance the fortunes Of unhealth
agltators. l assure those men that Il
New York oath binding regulation
against discussion and investigation II
respect to political questions will be o
no avail. No obstruction to thought-in
dividual thought--that under.ies man
hood suffrage will he tolerated here Ii
New York.
The great question in the western an,
In many Of the southern states is tn
regulation of railroad rates. Our peopl
