M,KlMLEYs PROMISES.

His Tin Plate Predictions Not FulfIAd-A
Censuz of the Infants-Still More Prom
ises.
In his speech before the republican
state convention of Ohio candidate Nc
Kinley had something to say about the
tin plate infant, which was in quite a
different vein from his confident prom
ises and predictions last year. In his
convention speech he said: "When
you take them to the factory and show
them that we are making tin plate they
assert with intense pleasure that we
are only making "a little. That is true;
but how much more should we be MAX
ing? That we are making any is the
surprise, for the protective duty on tin
has not yet gone into effect and will
not until the first of July"
This is not the way Mckinley talked
last year. When he was engaged in
constructing his tariff bill large dele
cation of fruit and vegetable Gamers
appeared before the ways and means
committee to protest against the tin
plate duty. Mckinley and his follow
ers were then full of promises of what
was soon to be done. Those promises
were thus stated by Hon. T. L. Bunt-
ing in recent address before the ma
tional Gamers association: '"The chair
man of the committee ventured the as
sertion that before the law went into
effect, July 1, 1891, American plate
could be bought cheaper than the for
eign plate was then selling, and that in
the interim the consumers of plate
could buy the foreign article as cheaply
as ever. Mr.. Bayne, of Pennsylvania,
a member of the committee, pro-
fessed himself entirely willing to
take orders for future delivery
on that basis Mr.. Payne, of New
Jersey, lost his temper in an
effort to show that within thirty days
after the passage of the bill forty fac
tories ON a basis of millions each in
capitalization would be undermining
The Welshman at his favorite pursuit of
making tin plate. The prediction of
Senator Allison that thirty reputable
firms engaged in the iron industry
would, within thirty days, put up tin
ming stacks and manufacture tin plate
was flung at us for our composure."
And how have those promises been
fulfilled?
The New York Metal Worker, pro-
lection journal friendly to the tin plate
tariff, has recently undertaken a census
of the tin infants" born and unborn,
and the count showed only four con-
Germs now making plates and four more
which will begin soon.
The Baltimore Gamers journal
(trade) has to make this confession, af-
ter saying that we have four mills max
ing plates:
sit will be noted that of the Ameri-
can mills mentioned three of them are
very extensive users of tin plate, and 1t
may be some time before they will be
able to produce a surplus above their
own needs, hence will have none to
throw on the market"
Thus, instead of tin, we have prom
Use, promises! The latest promiser is
Secretary Britton, of the tin plate as
sociation ''csive as time, he SAYS,
land we will make good these prom
ises. In year from July we will be
producing all the tin plate the United
States can use.

The frightfullosses by fire in the Great Lakes
region and the mountain section of Pennsylva-
MIA continue Hardly any disaster is more
felt in a civilized community than this sweep
ing destruction Of forests, crops, homesteads,
and villages. 1t will take long while and the
expenditure of much money and effort to re-
store the devastated portion Of Michigan, Wis
consin and Minnesota. The great fires. fam
ines, pestilences and natural commissions have
done more than the cruelest wars, civil COM
motions and prosecutions to change the
face of the world. Until blight fell on his
crop and stopped his supply of bread the e1-
actions Of the tax collector and the CALLING pride
Of the ruling caste were little resented by the
French peasant. But when awful famine had
stalked again and again through the fair
est portions of France. destroying embitter-
ing existence, the Revolution came. IL is
physical want that pinches first. The sympa-
thy Of the country should be extended actively
to the distressed people of the northwest, where
the losses from fires are most keenly felt.

Il was not so long ago when men talked

It was not so long ago when men talked
everywhere in this republic about the manifest
destiny which was carrying the stars and
stripes and the eagle and the Fourth Of July in
rapid fight to he uttermost north or to the
remotest eonfiaes Of the perfervid south But
the ardor Of our iand-seeking and race-absorb-
ing patriotism has cooled suddenly. Although
the broad acres of the trans-Mississippi region
are fast filing rp and it is already q problem
where we shall place the last aborigine the
desire for immediate annexation of territory
has disappeared from sight. No longer as a
people do We aspire to reach the arctic except
by walking there with Mr.. Peary over the
frozen crust OF Greenland. With fair Mexico
the national Gailiance is now through reci-
proclty treaty, and the most tempting offers OF
the American party in Cuba have recently been
received with the chilliest indifference. Once
American blood was freely shed for control of
the Ever Faithful Isle" now the American
statesman would sooner think Of asking for a
slice of land on the Congo than accept the free
gift of the Queen of the Antilles. In less than
thirty years the great republic has swollen
inconveniently fat ON the greatest variety Of
races and nationalities ever taken into
national system, and assimilated as well as pos
sible. What the republic wants now is an anti
fat prescription 1t needs tonic for its powers
of digestion and assimilation. 1t demands not
more food, but the opportunity to masticate
that which it has bitten off. To the hardy
NewfoundlSnders, to the liberal ''Kanucks," to
the American party in Cuba, there is but one
graeeless word: Brothers, just as much trade
and social fraternity as possible, but for the
present the United States will grow larger
mainly by natural increase Of population, post
pOning for a season the further absorption Of
territory peOpled by incongenial races, and
