THE TIN PLATE FAKE.

Ehe Republicans are now flooding
9EEs country with samples of tin plate
aw.ode in this country since the passage
al the Mckinley tariff bill. The i'm
RReesiou which they are attempting to
create is that the heavy tariff on tin
j sgyaLe has already resulted in building
mn great industries on this side of the
ERster. affording profitable employ
iaient for American capital and labor.
'Elsa Welsh tin plate works have shut
eE@wn for month, and this fact has
Seez seized upon and heralded broad
,gSst, as if it was solely due to loss of
aswGte through the establishment Of
&n1erican manufactures. The Re
rysuhlican press has brazenly asserted
tshsG the growth of our tin plate in
s&aSESry has been so phenomenal that
a.Gae Welshmen have been fairly
sssToasded out; that the Mckinley bill
.asvas powerful enough to build up a
Sueat industry in this country even
{a8eFore Invent into effect.
The domestic production of tin
5fs2aGe has not assumed any import
tzft proportions, nor is it likely to
aBaT sOme time yet. Those interested
a. the manufacture OF American tin
sEISts.. are calling Justify for more tariff,
ssRs7 asserting that the Mckinley duty
c8nR tlsat article is not sufficient to Off
- ct tbe difference between the cost of
AsiBor in this country and Wales, al
Enough the statement is manifestly
absurd, and has been abundantly
Rr2yen false. The protection afforded
.flAs American manufacturer by the
law which went into effect yesterday

>ssOsiAIr only used. The temporary
skat down in Wales is due not to
szM@'ican competition, but to the
ENeAvy imports recently made. Ameri-
essu importers naturally desired to
hSve heavy stocks on hand when the
1aa per cent increase OF duty took
ssGeet. There is, consequently, an ac-
se1Sueulation OF stock sufficient to last
sgclne months. The time when ship
aARents.of European tin plate could be
IA ade 70 arrive at American ports pre-
s4Sous to July had expired before the
'gsJ1slne down of Welsh works. Amer
ScaC importers being heavily stocked

nee the Welsh manufacturers find
7siIerse ives short of orders AMI are
= s a rest. That is all there is to it,
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1891-07-09

The Mckinley tariff has not devei-
oped a great industry in America, nor
does it appear likely to do so soon.
1t has. however, increased the price OF
averythiug nece5sltating The use OF rim
plate. Even the more honest of Re
publican journals refuse to become
parties to the deception which the
party leaders are attempting to prac-
tice upon the people but state plainly
that the benefits of the tin plate tariff
are not yet visible.
But even if it was true that this 100
per cent increase of duty upon an ar
ticle of such universal use built up q
dozen great factories in this country,
that would not establish the plea thai
it is public benefit. Why should
every man, woman and child in Amer
lea be taxed for the benefit of few
manufacturers Why should they pay
tribute that q few score men may be
employed in certain industry? Is
this a government for the whole peo-
pie or for pitiable handful thereof?
Are American mill operators and
miners paupers who must be support
ed at the public charge? If so we had
best pension them, that being by far
the cheapest plan.

MORE HOLIDAYS NEEDED

work too hard AMI too long. The
weekly Sunday rest, Christmas and
New Years day are the only times
when the average American citizen
feels that he is priviledged to relax his
grip on business and enjoy existence
The result is that he soon wears out

be in his prime. 1t would be better for
us to have as many holidays as Next

WHAT ARE YOUR POLITICS ?

Uncle Jerry Rusk was recently put in
charge of the weather of this country,
and he has already made bad break,
showing conclusively that he knows
no more about weather than an old
Southern darkey, who depends solely
upon his rheumatic ''jints" and
'cawns" for meteorological signals.
Uncle Jerry is firmly convinced that
no man not staunch Republican of
the Harrison variety can control the
weather and cause rain to fall impair
TALLY upon the just and unjust.
Uncle Jerry had about decided that
Professor Nipher, of st. Louis, was
the proper man for chief of the wealth.
er bureau. Harrison thought so, too,
and his appointment was regarded as
a foregone conclusion. Professor Nj
pher was informed sub rosa that he
had cinch on the job, that his call
ing was sure, He was just preparing
to lay hold of the machinery and
break the long drouth into small seq
ments WREN he received an official
telegram from Uncle Jerry, 1t was
not long telegram, but came directly
to the point. 1t said: what are
your politics?" Professor Nipher felt
as though thunderbolt had struck
him square in the diaphraghm, and
that a blizzard fresh from it's nest in
Northern Dakota was insinuating
itself down his stand-up collar and
holding tete-a-tete with his
spinal column. He felt that his
goose was cooked. He had foolish
ly devoted his whole life to science, to
hunting for the storehouse of hail and
snow, the lair of the cyclone and the
abiding place of the thunder storm in
stead of diving to the true inwardness
of that master science, practical poll
tics, which he now learned with hor
rar was the one only thing that woulC
enable him to pull the weather bell
cord intelligently. He wired bacl
that he was q scientist, not a politi
clan, and-another man got the job
who had received q liberal education
at the ward primaries and was ready
to swear that Harrison is greater
man than Alexander of Macedon o.
Blaine of Maine
Uncle Jerry is dead wrong. 1t ha
been abundantly proven that mani
politics have nothing to do with hi
ability to guess at the weather an(
miss it; that man can hunt for future
hurricanes as successfully under one
political faith as another 1t has been
abundantly demonstrated that hang
ing around ward primaries and fixing
conventions does not qualify man to
grab nature by the collar and compel
her to reveal her hidden secrets. IN
Gle Jerry evidently knows all about
bugs, but he knows absolutely moth
ing about weather and weather pro
phets. He should ask the president
to relieve him of the responsibility
which in thoughtless hour he court
ed. That telegram which he sent tC
Prof. Nipher should be framed and ex
hibited at the Worlds Fair as an evil
dence of the utter shamelessness, not
to say rottenness, of the Harrison adj
ministration.

MILLS FOR THE sPEAKERsHIP.

The Washington dispatches state
that Hon. Roger @. Mills will soor
begin IAN aggressive campaign for the
speakership on the western platform
as opposed to the conservative notions
of the western democracy This
means that there will be music by the
full band and that numerous dry bones
will be shaken up as c by an earth
quake. When Mills lays violent hands
on those same conservative notions
it will be like robust he-cyclone Zip
ping up plank turnpike and driving
it through the pulsating heart of q
colored camp meeting. Mills under
stands that the so-called ''conserva-
tive notions of the western democracy
is but republicanism in disguise
Being an honest man it disgusts him
and when he tackles it something has
got to tear. Mills is born leader, a
man of brains, of courage. He is no
good-lord -good-devil democrat, no dill
etante in craftsmanship. He knows
what the country needs and he has the
courage to speak forth his convictions
without any circumlocution or polite
qualification. He is such a man as an
honest, Godfearing people should be
proud of and feel honored in following
He is entitled to the speakership. He
has, by faithful service, shown him
self worthy of the highest honors. He
is the most fearless, the ablest cham
pion of pure democracy now living.
Will he succeed? That is equivalent
to asking if the Democratic party will
be successful in '02. The elevation of
Mills to the speakership would show
the world that the Democratic party
isfull of courage; that it proposes to
practice what 1t breaches; to redeem
its promises. 1t would be equivalent
to advancing the party standard bold
ly in the face of the enemy and sound
ing the charge in that great battle be-
tween the people and monopoly. If
Mills is pushed aside, if the democracy
chooses less aggressive man for its
leader, one inclined to compromise its
principles for the sake of success, then,
depend upon it, a Republican presi-
dent will be elected in '92. The democ
racy must make bold, an aggressive,
an uncompromising fight or it might
just as well throw up the sponge. Ir
the choice of speaker may be read thu

Pitiful indeed is the position of thos
