THE TIN-PLArE INDUSTRY.

The Minneapolis Times has worked itself
into feverish condition by contemplating
the tin plate industry from a narrow point
of view. 1t compares the earnings of the
men to be employed in our tin-plate plant
in st. Louis with the amount of money that
must be paid out in the form of duties on
imported tin plates. The Times admits that
81, 600 may be paid to the employees Of
he St Louis tin-plate works, but figures
the amount which will be paid in a single
yeaI in the form of duties at ST., 224.685. 1t
arrives at these figures by assuming that
our consumption of tin plate amounts to
763. 1914, lS4 pounds year, the duty on which
will be after July % cents pound. The
Times must be aware that the St. Louis
mill is not expected to supply the entire
demand for lin plate in the United States.
1t will. in fact supply but very small part
Of 1t. There cannot consequently be any
true comparison drawn between the amount
Of wages paid the employees Of the ST. Louis
establishment and the amount paid on
duties on our entire tin-plate supply. If the
st. Louis works prove profitable under the
new tariff other plants will be established
IN different parts of the country. When
there are enough OF these plants to supply
all the tin plate the country needs, il will
be in order to draw a comparison between
the amount Of wages paid by all the thu
plate works. and the amount that would be
paid on duties if all our tin plate was i'm
ported. A measure similar in all essentials
to that which imposes % cents a pound
duty on tin plate has built up the iron and
steel industry in the United States to the
point at which we practically supply the
home demand. The wages paid the iron
and steel workers in the mills and foundries
of the United States would make the amount
formerly paid in duties on iron and steel
seem Insignificant. And yet the argument
put forth in the Times is a reflection of ar
ticles which appeared in free-trade journals
when the high protective duties were first
placed on iron. The trouble with our free
trade friends is that they ignore results
They put forward their theories as eompla-
Gently as if test had not shown them to be
false. When in a few years we find tin
plate works all over the country making our
own tin plates the free-traders will find some
other industry upon which these exploded
theories may be hung

THE DEMAND FOR WHEAT.

Orders for breadstuffs coming from
Europe confirm the rumors of deficient
crops. The present outlook is that the
European demand will be the largest since
the Franeo-Gernan war. There are no.
where prospects of excessive crops which
will make up for known deficiencies. Cali
fornla promises more than an average yield,
bur the amount of grain our State can pour
into the markets of the world will not
greatly affect prices. There Is every pros
peet, therefore, that our large supply will
bring satisfactory prices. The opinion is
quite general that the demand fer bread
stufS one year with another is increasing
more rapidly than the supply. A consider
able rise in prices would bring more land
under cultivation, but under conditions
which preclude the low rates at which grain
has been sold in the last few years. A Kan
sas exchange says that all the wheat the
farmers of that State can turn out will
range from 81 to 81 80 bushel. At these
rates wheat-growing is a profitable business.

TO coNnoNE LYNCHING.

Commenting UPON the report Of the New
Orleans Grand jury an Eastern paper says:
3 1t is to be deploTed that any combination
of events in America should render it neces-
sary for a judicial body TO cundone lynch
ing The same journal concludes. how
ever. that "the Staying Of Rennessy's MUIR
dcrers was not only justifable but was the
only means Of redress under the circum-
stances" 1t is certainly to be deplOred that
an unlawful organization in an American
city should have acquired the power TO inn
pede the administration of justice. But
when the facts shew that such a condition
exists the question arises as to the remedy
to be applied. The legal remedy is slow and
uncertain. Hennessy tried it and fell a
victim to it. He was warned to follow in
the footsteps Of his predecessors and let The
Malta organization alone. Hennessy under
took TO break MP the organization in a law
full way. The Malta, recognizing its danger,
caused Hennessy to be assassinated. When
the asS8sSiuS were placed on trial the or
ganiZaticn res0Tted to extraordinary means
TO procure an acguittal The twelve jury
men would, by a verdict of guilty. have
placed themselves in relation to the Malta in
the position Hennessy had occupied. Hen
nesSy's fate was in a sense r warning to the
men who we're called upon TO determine
legally the guilt OF Innocence of the assassins
Of Hennessy. The verdict showed that the
jury was either corrupted or intimidated.
Il does not appear that there were any
men OF the Henn5ssy type on the jury.
Under these circumstances the people of
New Orleans rose en- masse against an
organization that had terrorZed its courts.
So far as foreign nations are concerned, the
only explanation needed was one showing
that there had been no invidious distinction
as to nationality in the action of the citi-
zens. The Italian Government had a right
TO the information that its subjects had not
been killed because they were Italians, but
because they were criminals. An American
community could not be estopped in its
methods Of administering justice because
certain offenders were of foreign birth. The
cOncenSus of American opinion is that if the
Administration has made any mistake in
the controversy with Italy growing out Of
the New Orleans affair, it was in not in
forming the Italian Government that its
interference was limited to the ascertain
ment Of the fact thar Italian subjects and
American citizens had been dealt with im-
partially. II is preposterOus to assume that
an uprising that could not be avoided
against American citizens must be con-
demned because one or more OF the persons
punished were the subjects of a foreign
power. In a broad sense a nation is re-
sponsible TO the world for its internal gov
ernment II life and property are unsafe
the people Of better governed nations will
avoid it, But Government cannot be re-
quired TO give foreign residents more COM
plete protection than it can give its own
people. Especially nation should not be
required to throw over foreigners protec-
ton against punishment for crime that it
does not throw over its own people.

ono vENDETrA."

An emotional correspondent Of the New
York Herald has visited the families of two
Of the victims of the New Orleans outbreak
in their Italian homes and found them in a
destitute condition. The widow of Monas-
terO is represented as a woman OF Madonna
like beauty and Christian character When
the emotional correspondent told the widow
that her husband had been killed by New
Orleans mob she cried out: God in
heaYenl How could they murder the father
of these helpless children?" Still the
widow said that she wanted no vendetta.
She did not care whether those who killed
him were punished or not Vengeance would
not bring her husband back to life. Pedple
will sympathiZe with the bereayed woman
whether she is right in the belief that her
husband was innocent or not In that re-
speet she is probably in error. rne evidence
against him was reasonably conclusive. An
American woman once appeared in court to
testify as to her husbands character. She
had nothing but words of praise for him.
He was kind and good and liberal pro-
wider. He was fond of his children and
surrounded them with every comfort his
means would allow. But as to the man as
he appeared to the outside world she had
little knowledge. When her attention was
called to the fact that her husband had
spent terms in prison for various offenses
she admitted that he might be a hard citi-
zen, but insisted that lie had been good
husband. No one will quarrel with the mar
row view a wife takes OF her husbands
character. If he is good to her and TO his
family there is good in him, though the
world may have seen only the bad. The
judgment of the American people of the
New Orleans outbreak will not be Influenced
by any opinions the widows OF the persons
killed may entertain as to their Innocence OF
the crimes charged against them. But there
are thousands Of Americans who justify the
New Orleans uprising who would gladly

A Huge Anaconda Escapes and Terrifies
an Express Clerk.
BIRMINGHAM ALA, April 23.-This morn
ing when G. NJ. Loyegood. chief bin clerk
of the Southern Express Company, went to
the Office he was surprised to find the place
deserted. The porters were ON the outside
and 80 terror-stTicken they dare not enter.
Night Clerk Davis was in the money vault
with the door closed. and was apparently
closely guarded by an enormous anaconda
snake, which had coiled itself at the very
door. Davis stayed there confined from
midnight TO daylight this morning.
Last night, while the porters in the office
were getting out a package Of freight from
a pile IF boxes, the boxes tumbled in every
direction. One of the boxes, which weighed
forty-ive pounds, burst open, and out of it
came a huge snake. The box was consigned
to circus. which is exhibiting here tonight
The box had been in the Office since yester-
day morning. The snake crawed from the
box, which had been broken, up into the
Office of the money clerk where Mr. Davis
was at work. As soon as he saw the reptile
approaching he took the vault as place of
safety, and the porters fled from the office.
The snake was monster about seven feet
long. No business could be transacted at
the express Office until one Of the proprie-
tors of the show came and captured it and
took 1t TO his circus.-Star Sayings.
