GEN. LEE WRITES ON MACS TRIP.
He Calls Attention to two Important
Points Of Moment.
(From the Columbus Post }

(From the Columbus Post.)
There are two items in the telegraph.
ic dispatches this morning which
deserve more than passing notice.
Item number one states that Major
Mckinley, who everybody supposed
was going to be candidate for Cover
nor of Ohio this year on the prohibi
tory tariff issue, has announced that he
intends to visit Prince Bismarck the
coming summer, and personally ex.
press his admiration for that states
man and for his policy of "limited
protection"
This announcement will excite aston
ishment among all rejecting persons.
That Major Mckinley, whom we all
know to be the special and particular
Napoleon" of unlimited protection,
should feel moved to cross the ocean
for the purpose of expressing his admit
ration for that veteran Napoleon .hater
Bismarck and his Limited protection
po Icy, passes belief. More especially
does this strange announcement per
plex and bewilder those of us whom
the McKinleyites have been denounc-
ing with all their might as free traders,
because we have dared to believe that
limited and comparatively moderate
tariff levied primarily for revenue but
incidentally protective, such as that
under which Germany has so signally
prospered, might be equally beneficial
to the American people. Beside the
Mckinley tariff it is free trade itself
And yet Mckinley is going over to
Gremany purposely to express his ad-
miratiOn for Bsmarck's limited pro-
tectiOnI "Will wonders never caasp p"
Item number two informs an aston
'ished community that the first tin
plate manufactured in this country is
on exhibition at Canton, Pennsylvania
What admission fee is charged for a
sight of this marvel is not stated, but
we are further Informed that the "tin
plate" referred to "is one or two cups
made by st. Louis firm and presented
by them to Major Mckinley. 1t is
composed of fainttyfUe per cent. iron,
and the statement that American iron
could not bear stamping has been
refuted."
Lo, and behold, here are the first
fruits of the Mckinley tariff on tin
two cups ninety-five per cent. iron!
Let the worklngman beat his tin
buckets and the workingwoman rattle
her milk pans in jubileel For several
months past we have been paying in
creased prices on our tin roofs aud tin
ware in consequence of McKinley's
prohibitory tariff on tin, and now, at
last, we have our recompense in two
tincups, ninety-fve per cent. iron!

THAT TIN PLATE FARCE.

The venerable Hodge, of the z. o. D.,
now trying to serve CuyahOga county
in the Legislature, was so devoid of po.
litical sagacity, a few days since, that
he opened his mouth on the tariff He
had the egotism to suppose that he
could make a point on the tin plate
tariff. He held aloft a tin can, and an
nounced that it was of United States
manufacture. A few days later Mr.
MOnnot took the wind all out of his
sails, in manner tiat greatly reioiced
the Democrats of the House. Mr. Mon.
not quoted high Republican authority
showing that the block metal, which
forms the basis of the tin from which
Hodges can was manufactured, was
imported; the metal in which the tin
was itself dipped, was imported, as was
the Hungarian and other foreign labor
used in getting the TIN ready for the
market To show that even the price
of this tin had been increased by the
passage OF the Mckinley bill, Mr.. Mou-
not read a letter from the manufactur-
ers, written to one of their customers in
st. Louis, stating that, beginning with
December, last, the price of tin would
be increased, owing to the increased
tariff duty.

THE results of the election of the
4th of November, 1890, in which the
tariff was the supreme issue and about
which "the Democratic press of the
country is persistently harping" di-
vested of the crafty sophisms and in
genious flouncings of politicians, was
one of the most uprooting, sweeping
and decisive political revolutions in the
history of the Republic. 1t inculcated
this lesson, and in manner that can
not be misunderstood, that the Nc
Kinley tariff bill is one of those
blunders that is tantamount to a
crime.-[ Wooster Jacksonian.

CHAs. T. BAKER of New York,
a publisher, has sent us pamphlet
called the stricken Nation" 1t pre-
diets awful things for us all in 1892,
only twelve moons ahead. Here is
what he says in his introduction.
ain 1891 we behold Nationl A Re
public of Sixty-two MilliUnsl A
heterogeneous mas of humanity
welded by the benign influence of Lib
erty into a homogeneous nationality {:
contented, prosperous, powerful; an in
telligent, refined, progressive people;
peace and plenty within their borders
from the Atlantic TO the Pacific, and
from the shores of the great Lakes to
the Gulf. In 1892, we see the shattered
fragments of tue once Republic We
read with tear-dimmed eyes of its tens
of thousands of heroes fallen in
defence of its flags, of it's thousands of
millions of treasure wasted in tardy
defence, or paid in tribute to the in.
vader. We see its great cites in ruins,
its commerce destroyed, its treasury
bankrupt, and its people plunged in the
direst depths of privation and despair;
and finally, as We write, we can discern
evidences of the beginning of that vast
conspiracy which shall alter the des.
tines of the people of the Western
world for ages to come"

great many Republican

A great many Republican farmers
who are now joining the Farmers ALI
ahce, will soon find themselves in the
capacious bosom of the Democratic
party. The Farmers Alliance move
ment is protest against the present
order of things, by which the products
of the soil and oflabor are being rapidly
absorbed into few hands, through the
insidious operation of high tariff tax.
The farmers now see that they have
been robbed of their just earnings and
of their substance, during the last
quarter of century, aud they have
organized as political force to stop
this r. Cbbery. They have commenced
tostudy the tariff and its operations
from an independant stand point, and
the more they study it, the madder
they grow. After they have struggled
with the situation awhile, the most of
them will discover that the remedy lies
in joining the only party in this country
that has the power aud disposition to
remedy existing wrongs-the Demo
cratic party. We believe the Farmers
Alliance is grand thing for the
farmers, because 1t is an educator, for
with education on the tariff, must
come Democratic success.

SHAKESPEARE ON FARMERS.

To ingalls,, Farwell, Spooner and
Evarts: Farewell, long farewell to
all thy greatness. Sich Is the end of
man. To-day he puts forth the tender
sprigs of hope; tomorrow blossoms,
and bushes like turkey gobbler.
Then there comes a frost, chilling
frost,a Kansas cyclone, Sucker whirl-
wind, Badger hail storm, a Hudson
River Northeaster, and when they
think, good, easy men, full surely our
glory is ripening, they suddenly go
down, like bull frogs in a MIL pond
ker. .chunk-with dull and heavy thud.

THE Democrats are having q rest
now. The Republican organs are
busy with virulent abuse of the so
called traitors of the Senate, who were
elected as Instruments of the G. 0. p.
There are also lamentations in the
White House, and Little Ben fails to
be comforted. The lamentations of
jeremiah are cheerful reading compared
with the dOleful walls that prevail in
the leading Republican organs, these
damp days of the dying January.

the sudden death of Hon. William
Window of Minnesota, Secretary of the
Treasury, at a banquet in New York

Mr.. Window was the ablest and ripest

CURABLE.
(TOledO Blade.)

"Is Sherman a Presidential candi-

we are aware, that he is not. But will
some gentleman please specify any au-
lucrative evidence that he is not? He
has been one ever since 1872, and when
a man has the Presidential bee buzzing
in his bonnet that long, we fancy his
case is incurable.

Washington from now until this Con

are that the final dissolution of this
Congress will be tame and quiet affair.

PATRIOTISM is in the being, and is
not an outward show. Hence the prop
osition to take $250,00O out of the
school fund of Ohio to purchase flags
for school houses, is not a very sensible
proposition. Better spend the money
in educating the youth of Ohio in the
school of patriotism. Flags are sym.
bols of patriotism, the genuine article
should throb in the human heart.

We're committee recently appointed by the
council TO Investigate the waterworks. The
superintendent, engineer, mayor, water
commissioners and others referred to in the
report of the expert engineer, come to-
gether for work to-day. f. S. Cobb and c.
II. Parrot, two of the expert engineers,
were first before the committee both max
ing statements to the effect that the water
works pumps were in very bad condition
when they took hold of them Mr.. Good
win, engineer in charge, was then before
the committee for most of the afternoon,
and was submitted to a rigid examination.
The whole matter is simply conflict be-
tween the various branches of the water
department. 1t is the intention of the COM
mittee to find where the blame lies. Some
one is to blame for the bad condition of the
machinery and poor water service, but who
that someone" is, is the question 1t is
not likely that the work of the committee
will be concludedsb before to-IRorrow.
