Third--It furnishes an opportunity

Prot ,ction To the Paper Trade.

Hon. Warner Miller, himself n large
paper manufacturer, hence a reliable
authority, in letter reviewing the pros
poets OF trade with South America, said:
81 believe the time has come when the
paper manufacturers of the United
States can reach out and supply the
whole Of Mexico, Central America and
South America with the bulk Of the pa
per used in those countries. We are
to-day shipping some news paper to
England, and large quantities of it TO
Australia, in direct competition with the
manufacturers of Europe, and we are
doing this successfully. If the Con-
gressonal bill giving aid to steamship
lines shall be successful in starting II
number of new lines which shaH reach
South American ports, / feel very sure
that our trade will go into those ceun-
tries and secure a very profitable and
large business"

that one of our most consistently pro-
tectcd industries should thus gain a
POSITION where its products can success.

Let IL Die,

Harold Frederic, a free-tradcr writing
from London to a free trade paper, the
New York Times, says that the Golden
Club is so much discouraged with the
free trade outlook that the annual fish
dinner at Greenwich was omitted this
year. He predicts that the club will go
TO pieces in few years. "The truth, {"
admits Mr.. Frederic, ais that the clubs
mission seems to have ended. 1t was
founded in the first flush OF the triumph
OF political economy over stupidity and
ignorance in England by men who fondly
believed that the rest Of the world was
open TO conviction by argument, as the
English had shown themselves to be.
They were going so TO spread the light
that soon all mankind would abandon
those twin relics Of medieval barbarism,
tariffs and wars. The dream was lofty,
but it cruelty failed of realization. Four
great wars have convulsed Europe since
the formation of the club, and tariff walls
are being reared higher than ever, and
standing armies are in preparation for
still vaster conflicts F" The colony of
British rcformers can learn none too
soon that they cannot control the world.

1.-The Tin Plate MYTH"

The New York Press addresses itself
TO the New York Post in the following
vigorous language:
The EUening Posts editorial under
the above caption was itself mythical,
because il told in mag native story The
very important truth that there is no
truth IN free-trade paper when the
subject OF tin plate in the United States
is under discussion. The Post pretcnds
to have run down every announcement
of tin plate concerns being started in
this country, only to find them myths.
The fiat contradiction OF the Posts pre-
tcnsc lies in the details of its investiga-
tiOnS, which do not involve a single one
of the following firms and corporations,
all tn plase manufacturers: The ~.
Louis Stamping Company, United States
Iron and Tin Plate Company, Eemmler,
Pa; T. II. Laufman x Co.. Apollo, Pa;
Norton Brothers, Chicago, H. Kirkpat
rick * Co., PittSburg; jennings brothers
* Co . PittSbuTg; the Falcon Iron and Nail
Company. Niles. Ohio; the Cannonsburg
Iron and Steel Company. Pittsburg Jo-
seph Corns Il Sons, Ma-sillon, Ohio; the
Britton Rolling Mill Company, Cleveland,
Ohio. and Marshall Brothers, Philadel
phia.
Tin plate from the works of some of
these firms is on exhibition in the Press
window and on sale i'm New York. We
have repeatedly given the address Of the
agent. Representatives of these firms
met in New York on April 20, and each
one stated that his establishment was
making tin plate now or about to make
it. whether others made tin plate or not,
and on a comparison OF notes itappcarcd
that the works in operation or about to
be operated will produce about Go,0a0
net tons of tin plate and ternc plate per
year
The Press has repeatedly printed tho So
indisputab,c facts. The Post. hunting
i'm back alleys for "tin pate lies" is not
able TO find tin plate truths in the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, when every morning pa
per i'm New York told OF this tin plate
gathering there Says the Post editor in
q foot note 20 a contempOraneouS article
on the tin plate discussion:
awe also are anxious TO have the con-
troversy settled, and for that reason are
trying 10 find factory. One medium
sized factory, working openly and selling
its goods vt profit, would close our
mouths.
And yet il would do nothing Of the
sort We select single name from the
list given above, that of r. III. Laufman

ElVe INSTANCES.

In the history of our country we have
only five instances of father and son
being both members of the United
States Senate. By curious coinci-
dence. in each of these cases one or
both of them were graduates from
Princeton University. The families
who have thus the honor for more than
one generation are the Stocktons, Bay
ards, Frelinghuysens, Colquitts, and
Camerons. The most prominent in
stance is that of the Stockton family,
who have held the honor for four gen
erations in direct descent from father
to son. Richard Stockton princeton,

Says the Des Moines Register: The
Dubuque Herald is very much worried
over the fact that the tariff, rs well as
prohibition, will be an issue in the COM
ing campaign. IL wants every other is
sue dropped and prohibition alone voted
upon. The Herald need not have any
fears. There will be enough prohibition
i'm the campaign TO defeat the Democrat
ic free whisky candidates for the Legis-
lature even in some counties located
pretty near Dubuque. That issue will
not be avoided but the Democrats need
not hope that the tariff and the. blunder-
ing speeches OF tho present Governor
will be dropped. However desirable this
would be from Democratic stand oint,
the Republicans will force the fight all
along the line. They will not seek TO
withdraw prohibition, but they will at
the same time insist That other issues be
made prominent. The Democrats will
DOT be allowed TO escape responsibility

THE business legislation of the Repub-

crs of the nation. Our merchandise ex-
ports for the nine months ending March

SG1S, 100, $40, the balance in our favor
being SO, $50, 3S9, or over 50, coo, 900 per
week for the entire period. This is y
splendid report, considering the unequal
ed large imports sent in to escape the
increased dut eS of the new protective

tain to be the greatest blessing this ma
tion has ever received by legislation. 1t
is 80 grandly sustain ng itself that even
the Democrats are beginning to claim
parcntage of the reciprocity feature Of
the law, Notwithstanding every Demo

Prot elton for the Farm r

There seems TO be no limit 10 the Of
forts of free-trade attorneys ID prejudice
farmer voters against the policy OF pro-
lection for home industries. One Of the
commonly employed means to this end is
urging the farmer TO believe that our
tariff legislation is framed with the view
to discriminate in lavcr OF manufac uyed
products and against the products of
agriculture. As there is not single
clause in tho law susceptible of such Il
construction, none but the unwary Will
be misled by the charge OF discrimina-
ton against the farmers interests
Some idea OF the extent 10 which farm
products are directly protected can be
gained by a ance at statistics within
reach OF all who care to inspect them,
and the honest student of these figures
is quite forcibly impressed by the neces-
slty for maintaining adequate barriers
against foreign competition so long as
the home market of our farmers is men
aced by products Of foreign rivaS.
During the last fiscal year foreigners
sold in the United States over $40, 0O0,-
900 worth Of farm products, without
taking into the account more than &c.

Awk warslness.

Speaking of the Delsartean method
of making a bow, as set forth by Mr.,
f. Russell in his lectures, a st. Paul
paper, naturally associating WOW with
bow, says: "Russelps statement, that
the bow should begin at the head
not at the feet, has an analogy in the
way well-bred dog wags his tail.
The wag begins at the nose, flows in
gentle undulatious along the back bone,
and finally dissipates itself in we'll
bred excitation of the tail" But, non
sense aside, not one person in five hun
dred has any grace OF manner, more
women having it than men. Look at
the awkward walking and sham
bling gait of the first hundred men you
meet. Their bodies are wholly I'M
trained, and their boorish motions and
swinging and swaying are the very re-
verse of graceful.

The English Golden Club appears to

that the prospect of converting the

resolved 20 forcgo the grand annual
banquet OF the club and devote the
pounds, shillings, and sixpence it would

THERE was not a Democratic paper in
the country, except the New York sun,
which did not declare that the Mckinley

off our foreign market trade. The fact
that the value of agricultural imple-
ments exported last March was S621, 721,
against 1887. $50 i'm March. 1890, does not
sustain the Democratic claim. But facts
