Poor Reading After Next Tuesday.

Wichita Eagle: I'D. Sample, ESQ.,. the
bright, young, republican barristsr Of Medi-
cine Lodge, was in town yesterday en- route
home from Topeka, where he was present at a
joint debate between Hon. ]. r. Burton and
Senator PETER on Monday evening. Ed. re.
ports that the calamity orator was defeated
by the clean cut arguments of Mr.. Burton.
'They are not in it," said Mr. Sample, refer-
ing 70 the Alliance, I'VE have them on the hip
in Barber county, and think all over Kan
sas.'"
1t is to be regretted that the election
is approaching so fast, and that such
interviews as the above will soon be
lost sight of by the Eagle reporter. We
know that republicans have to say a
good many things this year to keep up
their spirits, and if our recollection does
not fail US, Ed. was the subject of many
an Interview, last year, prior to the cleo
ton. After the results were all in, and
Ed. had crawled out from under the
landslide, he visited Wichita, and in
speaking of the election to Beacon re-
porter, he said among other things:
1--WE republicans are the victims of mis-
placed confidence, for we honestly believed
we had the farmers downed. But these ALI
ance men would drink our whisky, fill their
pockets with our cigars and take our money,
but on election day every mothers son of them

scratch, and that's what beat u.s.

THAT POT AT PIOUA.

st. Louis Republic: There is a big
iron Kettle standing in Piqua, O., with
no fire under it at present. 1t is the
plant of the Piqua Mckinley and pro-
lection tin works-the very pot into
which Mr.. Mckinley, with his own
hand, dipped sheet of iron to make
Mckinley tin plate of Ohio steel and
California tim Since that date this in
FAINT industry has met series Of calam-
tiles. The owner of the pot did not
have tin to melt in it for Mr.. Mckinley
to do his dipping. Consequently he had
to get lead in Piqua, and the only man
in the place who had lead enough to
fill the pot was Captain Leopold Keifer,
president of the PIqua water works,
who loaned the lead for the occasion.
But when he saw this lead passed off in
McKinley's speeches as tin, Keifer;s
sense of honesty compelled him to ex-
pose the fraud. The alleged tin, thus
made, was made into Mckinley badges,
and the Republics chemical analysis of
one of them completed the exposure.
but 1t did not complete the misfortunes
of that pot at Piqua. Those who read
Mr.. McKinley's speech at Piqua will re-
member its boast of a contract already
made to furnish Piqua tin for roofing
the barn of Mr.. H. s. Sternberger. The
contract was a fact. Mr.. Sternberger
is democrat, but as he had fine barn
nearly ready for the roof, he wanted to
help along his republican friends by
roofing it with their pure tin-plate of
California tin and Ohio sheet steel.
After the Mckinley speech, the alleged
tin was delivered, and the workmen
pronounced it unfit for use. They and
other experts have signed certificates to
show the violation of contract. Mr..
F. J. Collins, the contractor who built
the barn, certities thus:
This is TO certify that have been carpen-
ter and contractor for the past ten years. i
built the barn for Mr.. Sternberger. l exam
ined the metal sent him for tin, and 1 pro-
nounced it the worst sert of stun 1 ever saw
to be used for roofing. 1t is uneven, rough.
and in many places the iron, or whatever Vt is,
is exposed. 1t would not give satisfaction at
all, as some pieces are so thin as to be like
paper"
Mr.. Edward Racine, the Piqua tin
ner, thus deposes:
Il have carefully examined the material de
livered to Mr.. Sternberger under his contract
for tin. and am free to say that have never
seen anything like it. would not use it for
customer of mine, and would advise Mr..
Sternberger not to use it. 1t does not compare
in any way with the poorest plates have ever
seen."
"Mr. Sternberger has pile of SINH
lar documents showing the fraud prac-
tised on him, but he has nevertheless
taken the stuff and paid for 1t. holding
it at-his own expense as a sample lot of
pure American tim dipped in the sa-
cred pot into which MIR. Mckinley
| dipped the first sheet of the lot with
his own ham, At present no more or
ders are being filled from the Piqua
pot. After Mckinley has leaned over
it, it is too sacred to be put to base
commercial qses.n

lican party and are fighting the alliance, and
want to belong to the party that the demo
Gratis are fighting the most

presses the republican sentiment. In
order to gain victory, and get Office,
the republicans may cousin" demo

lows, and all that. But their real feel
ing is that democrats are scoundrels.
and they have said it thousands of
times. If democrat can't see any

ton, he deserves to be bamboozled by
his lifelong enemy.

Another issue of the famous counter
felt 50 certificate which puzzled experts
a few months ago has appeared. 1t is
evidently made from the same plates
as the first issue, the difference between
the two being in the paper on which
the bills are printed. In the first issue
of the spurious certificates the paper
lacked the silk thread which character
ICES the genuine bill. and that was the
principal way IN which the good and
bad could be distinguished. Now that
difference is eliminated, and the ordin-
airy handler of 81 bills is just about
helpless. There are, of course, differ
ences which an expert can see. Four

PLuMRON TIN

Our only senator" is now shouting
for the republican platform, with all It's
monstrosities and iniquities. A year
ago he was what his party now calls "a
tin plate liar" Plumb swallows the
''tin lie'' and the currency lie," and
any other lie that his party Grams down
his gullet. But year ago his party in
Kansas was with him on these ques-
| tions. An election is coming on, and
the eastern bosses tell Plumb and his
western followers what they shall say,
and they say 1t. In August, 1890, Plumb,
in speech in the senate, said:
"Ihave grave doubts as to the effect of the
proposition made by the committee. 1 doubt
| very much whether it will permanently intro
duce into this country the manufacture of tin
plate in quantities sufficient for the use Of the
people.
And this for a variety of reasons. First. be-
cause 1 have observed that the American
| manufacturer, which do not speak of to COM
plain about especially at this time. has been
swift to avail himself of. duties upon articles
which gave him large profits and has formally
abandoned the production of other articles
which gave him only small profits.
In competition with tin for various purposes,
for roofing, for vessels, there have come a
large number of other articles, including gal
van1Zed iron, Rraniteware and things of that
kind. Every one OF these will be increased in
value by the imposition of the duty proposed
by the Finance Committee. If tin is to go I'D
l.2 cents per pound, then every article which
comes into competition with it, under existing
conditions, will go up similarly, perhaps not
to the full extent, but at least very largely.
Tin is made into sauce-pans and various 9TH
| er articles which are used for cooking pur-
poses. During the last two years a very
profitable industry has grown up in making
what is known as granitewear, used for a
somewhat similar purpose. costing a little
more, and which think would go into almost
universal use at the price of tin and to tho ex-
clusion OF tin. If tin is put up, as undoubted-
ly it will be, by the adoption of the proposition
now pending, graniteware will 90 up to some
extent also, and just as much as may be nee
essary TO enable it to take the place, as far as
possible, of tin which is used for domestic
purposes, and TO that extent tin will not be in
demand, ana VIII not be produced or imported.
In ADDITION to that, galvanized iron is used
,or roofing in competition with tin, and main
Jams as am told, just about the same price
the price OF IL being governed by the price OF
bAn, Win Wnlch It 10 in active competition for
variety or purposes; not for all purposes
agree out Tor many purposes OF the kind
which may be designated generally as roofing

articles as WELL"

DO YOUR DUTY.

This issue of the INDEX winds UP
our political work in the present cam
paign. Next week we hope to have a
spread-eagle issue, full of rejoicing over
the result. We are firmly of the belief
that no combination can defeat single
man on our ticket. The work now rests
with the voters. If they get out and
poll full vote, and see that fair and
free elections are conducted in each
township, at each precinct, all will be
well. DO not be apathetic; do not think
that the majority is 30 great your vote
will not be needed. The opposition
know every man they can depend on,
and every one of their voters will be out.
Alliance men, do your duty next Tues
day, or be the subject of ridicule for the
next year.
