Escaped the Fell Destroyer.

A reader OF the ISTELLIGrNcER, who
knows something aboutthc metal trades
himself, remarks that '"the Democratic
camel in its recent raid through Ohio
permitted at least one victim to escape"
The said victim is the firm OF Wallace,
Banfcld 4 Co., Limited, OF Irondale,
Ohio.
This firm, already engaged in the
manufacture OF sheet iron and sheet
steel, gives notice to the trade, III cir
cular letter OF October 20, that it intends
to add to it's list OF manufactures tin and
tcrno plates. To this end q now mill
has been completed, equipped with two
trains OF rolls and other necessary ma
chinery especially adapted to making
plates for timing. 1t is hoped to have
the product ready to begin shipment by
November Is.
The lHrELLIGENcEn mentions these
interesting facts that the tin-plate ro-
manccr may take hitch in his breath
and prepare to declare that tin plate
cannot be made in this country, and
that the lrondale concern is spending
its money on rolls and other appliances
for the cold, clammy purpose OF max
ing votes for tho Republican ticket.

Ruilrond Accidents,

agemcnt OF the railroad systems great

nights by some trusts that do not exist.

Republican party:
You have not heard that trusts exist

the distributing" firms OF Liverpool and Clles.
hire was held In the Adclphi Hotel, Liverpool,
10 consider the present condition of the trade in
TINT particular Kind OF salt known commercially
us "hundcd squares" The Hon. a. H. Ashley
presided, and among those present were Mr.. II
j. Falk managing director In lreand), Mr. Il.
Grlgg (lnGnAging director In Durhaln), Mr.. A.
NJ. Turner (OI the London directOrate). and Mr..
L. c. WickcS Secretary. The distributors ull
pointed ont that the competition of independent
or outside" firms was very formidable SO fnr us
inland business was concerned; and that with
regard TO the export business 10 the United
States matters were also adverse, because the
Americans were now manufacturing salt in large
quantities, ut any rate for home consumption
The whole question was discussed in detail for
more than three hours, and finally II was re-
solved TO take vigorous measures against I'LL
councillors by reducing the prices.
The Salt Union is the British salt
trust, formed to control production and
10 regulate the salt market in the inter
est OF the members OF that trust. You
will notice from the report OF the meet
ing that the trust is being annoyed by
outside" firms and by the American
manufacturers, who are making enough
at least for homo consumption.
1t is unnecessary to remind free
traders OF your prominence that the
American salt duty is thorn in all
free trade flesh. You are aware that it
has stimulated the American salt indus
try, made the product SO cheap that tits
almost as free as air, and yet you harp
OH it as q great wrong to the consumer
who has been immensely benefited by
the duty.
Be good enough to note the conclud-
ing sentence OF the Liverpool Posts re-
port-the price OF salt in Great Britain
is to be lowered to crush out competi-
ton. Ii this country had not protected
its salt industry against the same kind
OF attack the British salt trust would
turn its guns in this direction, trusting
to the destruction OF competition to give
it chance to recoup its losses.
II you know OF anything cheaper than
American salt-unlcss it be the tin
plate romanccs OF free traders, please
name it. You will have time enough
before the Ohio campaign closes to tell
the people OF that State something
about the British salt trust, but the
probability is that you will DO other
wise engaged.
You have great talent for not seeing
things you don't want TO see and for
not touching on questions TOO delicate
for you to discuss in campaign time.

an expression of satisfaction in re-
