FOR WHOSE BENEFIT.

Between the passage of the Mckinley
bill and the taking effect of the increased
tin tax, July 1st, the importation of tin
was enormous, the importers stocking
up for very large portion of the next
years supply, and saving in the taxa
ton over $4,000,o00, which, to say the
least, should have gone to the govern
ment. But to the consumers this tax
was added precisely as if it had been
paid, to say nothing about the various
profits charged in all such cases of mer-
chandise kite-fying.
This is only one item in the vast con-
spiracy to promote another alleged
American" industry. What is the
next step? Nothing less than open
confession that if the tin mines here can
be relied upon at all for sup
ply, the labor of plate-making will
have to come, mainly, if not
wholly from abroad, and Mr..
Neidringhaus, Congressman and tin
plate dealer, admits that the PROPOSE
tion OF his to start up works at st. Louis
cannot be carried outugless he can have
the privilege to bring over foreign la
borers, and he is now before the treas
ury department to arrange for their inn
portation. If he car, get round the la
Dor contract law, he may start his prom
ised enterprise. But in no case is it to
be for the benefit OF American" labor,
the sole ground upon which the unpre-
cedented tax of 15 cents pound on
tin was laid; and sixty millions Of peo-
Pile are, go far as one cansee, causelessly
deprived of reasonably cheap tin. 1t is
the greatest as we'll as the latest tariff
iniquity.
There is no doubt that the humbug
and delusion that American labor cuts
any figure whatever, in q beneficial
sense, in a system that shuts out foreign
productions but practically permits the
free ingress of foreign cheap labor, is re-
ceiving the serious attention of the
working classes of this country. The
fact that for the past year there has
been most extraordinary increase in
the arrival of class of immigrants that
could by no possibility have reached
America unassisted, shows that the leg
islatiye checks upon pauper labor
have been altogether inadequate.
The workingmen of the United States
realize, with the force that comes from
actual experience OF its evil effects, that
high tariff and free labor importation
injure them in a double sense. First
it overstocks the labor market and in
creases the percentage of enforced idle
ness, then it places in the hands of the
capitalists who control the great monop-
olistic industries the power to force
wages down at their pleasure.
It cannot be that the intelligent labor
element of the United States can be
longer inveigled into voting for a sys-
tenn so destructive to it's interests.

ENGLISH financiers are predicting a
crash and monetary panic in this coun-
try in consequence of the issue of silver
notes to represent the gold monthly pur-
chased by the government. They have
set the time of the crash for February.
In the meantime Europe will pay Us
the sum of $S00,OO0,OO0 in gold and Sc
curities for the corn and breadstuffs it
must have, and perhaps with that relief
TO our monetary condition we may make
out to worry through for another year
before we shall be altogether ruined by
too much wealth in silver.

IT LOOKS from the way in which
powers of attorney and transfers of
stock and other valuable property were
made, that Searles and his attorneys
worked the lamented deceased just as
they pleased before she snapped the
silver thread and put on her golden
slippers. Some of these powers OF at
torney contain suspicious clause in
them whichdeclares them irrevocaple,
and when it came to transfers OF shares
in railroads, building associations, and
other valuables, why, millions of dollars
were just flying around from one hand
to another. Mrs. Searles transfers to
Stillman, Stillman to Hubbard and
Hubbard to Mr.. Searles. In that way
property worth $36, 900, ,000is in one in
stance made to traverse this curious
circle. 1t would not do for Mrs. Searles
to assign this property directly to her
husband, SO the two lawyer intermedia-
ries are brought in. Mrs. Searles's
mind must have been thoroughly sub
dued by Searles to have yielded to these
people in this way. All who knew the
old lady in the flesh and when she was
IN her normal condition, know well that
she must have been beside herself when
she gave Searles Cor anybody else) vast
sums with an open hand. These extra
ordinary actions, so uncharacteristic of
the woman, throw suspicion upon
Searles, and must have the effect
OF weakening his case. 1t is plain that
Searles and his lawyers foresaw that any
will which excluded Tim Hopkins from
his mothers Sestate-especially as she
had as late as 1887 made a will giving
him one half OF all shedie possessed Of,
and Searles the other half--we say it is
plain that such will as Searles now
presents would carry with it such sus-
picion that they felt that it would fall
before close and searching contest in
the courts. Therefore the next thing to
do was to induce the old lady to trans
fer during her lifetime the great bulk of
her property to her husband by the
roundabout way stated. The motive is
manifest and the doubt that fathered it
is apparent; and it is the transparent
existence of that doubt which gives
away the real mental helplessness OF
Mrs. Searles. Hopkins prospects are
Frightening.

THE San Francisco Examiner recog-
nizes the fact that Los Angeles is forging
ahead, and takes very sensible mode of
proving its declaration. 1t says:
Clearinghouse statistics are not usu-
ally considered very exciting reading
matter, and yet they sometimes tell ro-
mantle stories to those who can read the
inner meaning Of their shorthand sug
gestions. For instance, year or two
ago the returns showed that the clear
ings in Los Angeles were steadily and
rapidly going down hill, while those of
Tacoma and Seattle were soaring up.
Now the currents are reversed. Last
week the clearings in lbs Angeles
amounted to $935,O0O, against 1881 900

SOMETHING is apt to drop, with
laundering thud," in San Francisco be-
fore long. The action of Judge Wallace
in appointing an elisor to select names
for grand jury is bearing good fruit.
The Legislative boodlers are trembling
in their boots, and some Of the bosses
are not to be found by the officers who
have summonses to bring them before
the grand jury. 1t is said that Buckley,
Rainey and other conspicuous bosses
have concluded that the weather is more
salubrious at Victoria than at the bay.
Dick Chute got taste yesterday of
Judge Wallace's views about the seri
ousness of treating the summons of
grand jury with contempt. Dick walked
into court and when asked why he re-
fused to obey the summons, hesaid that
he did so because he did not consider
the grand jury legal body. Judge
Wallace differed with him to the extent
of fine Of $500 and five days imprison-
ment. The fact is the corruptionists
have gone SO long unquestioned that
they have come to believe there is no
power in the people or the courts to call
them to account. Tweed and bis gang
had luiIed. themselves into a similar
sense of security /; but they had a very
rude awakening one day.

at Freeport, Pa.
FREEPoRT, Pa, March 6. - Expert
burglars made an attempt to rob the
Freeport bank and were partially sue
cessful, during Wednesday night. They
drilled and forced the combination off
the vault door, then drilled and forced
the combination lock off the middle
door, getting into the large steel safe
inside. They next undertook to drill
the safe door, but had to abandon it.
The combination lock of the inner safe
was broken and has not yet been opened
to-day. The banker, Mr.. Ludwick
thinks that the safes contents are all
right If this be true $4,000 or S15, 900
of the banks money is safe. In the steel
vault were twenty private boxes, filled
with valuable bonds, money and stamps.
All of these were broken oTen and the
contents taken.
Banker Ludwick had over $4,000 in
negotiable bonds taken; his son Charles
81 900 of the same. Mrs. Pillow lost
over g., 900 in bonds; Miss Gibson, post
mistress, over 5000 in postage stamps
