THE TIN PLATE SNAP"
An Instance of the Ineffectiveness of Pro.
lection.

An Instance of the Ineffectiveness of Pro-
lection.
The tin plate ''snap' has been given
away SO many times since the inaugura
ton of the alleged manufacture OF
american TIM that is really becom
ing almost monotonouS. The stanch
protection organ, the Boston CONNER
cial Bulletin, does it, however, in sc
fresh and innocent way as to impart
to the confession all the charm of nov
city.
Indignantly denying certain state
ments of the Boston Herald as to the
character of the american TIM SO
called, the Bulletin says: ''The only
particle contained in these plates which
was imported from foreign countries il
the tin c0dting.''
The Italics are our own. The thought
full reader will probably recall that the
tariff on tin in the Mckinley act was
increased for the encouragement of the
tin-producing industry in this country.
The text from which the gospel of in.
crease was preached was the enormous
quantity of tin in the Black Hills and
elsewhere, which could not be mined al
a profit unless the duty on imported tin
was raised. And now we have it on the
best of protectionist authority that the
only thing unprotected by the increased
duty on tin is the tin which the duty
was put on to protect.-D Detroit Free

A Scheme to Benefit the Few at the Ex-
pense of tho Many.
And now the huctuating organ which

strained by it's partisanship to defend
protection exults in the vindication of
Blaine by the adoption of treaty of
reciprocity with Brazil. Byasmuch as
there are those who wish to be de-
ceived, bysomuch will this vindication
be accepted. Byasmuch as there are
thinkers who seek for truth, bysomuch
will this new episode of demagogy be
weighed at its true value. What that
value really is may be determined as
accurately as scientists have tested the
pretense of its authors sunstrobe under
the scorching heat of an investigation
by a Democratic Congress. Let the
proposed new deal be measured by the
only rule accepted by the Democracy
equal and exact justice to all.
Certain manufactured products of
fered by citizens of this country are to

save remnant of protection from :he
onslaughts of a people awakened to the
evils of the system. 1t may be in line
with the ethics of the .,demoralizing
system to divide the benefits of
recommendation by metes and
bounds of twenty-five per cent. !;
it may be in accord with that
political conscience which feigns
insulation as shield from merited pun
ishment, but it falls short of satisfying
those who believe that equal and exact
justice can be so apportioned.
1t is claimed by the Chicago organ,
which no longer repeats its just charges
against the great letter-writer and
manipulation Of railway bonds, that the
proposed condition is preferable to that
now existing by favor of McKinleyism.
The people, says the organ, are to re-
ceive moiety of free trade and shonid
raise paans to Blaine because he has
broken the chains of protection-run-
wild. 1t may be conceded that a half
loaf is better than no bresd to a hungry
man, but it is also true that the taking
of the half-loaf by fraud under cover of
law is still robbery. 1t will not satisfy
the western producer who is to be
mulcted in twenty-five per cent to be
told that New Englanders are to have
free trade in fish and that the twenty
five per cent. fine against the rest of the
world is less of a robbery than has been
sustained by the party of morality.
Not even the fervid oratory which ap-
pealed for the election of Quay's copar-
| cener Delamater will serve to hum bug
the people on this question when once
they determine to find the truth.
But there remains no consideration
which may lead to thanks for Mr..
Blaine. Ey this proposition he has
added an unanswerabl BILE argument to
those by which men have sustained
their right to freely exchange their sur
plus products. The first step in the
defense Of this scheme of limited reel
procity is over the corpse of protection.
If it be true that the people are to be
benefited by removal of part of the
restrictions which have been hitherto
placed upon their intercourse with their
fellows Of every nation, then it is also
true that those restrictions have not
tended to their welfare. In this respect
does reciprocity Cor the benefit of the
few fall within the category of direct
instead of indirect bounties for the use
of the few at the expense of the many
What the sugar bounties were limited

of judgment before the bar of public

CURRENT OPINION.

The Democrats in the Senate re-
ceive the admiration and thanks of the
country for their splendid leadership
perfect discipline and tireless endurance
in the fight for free speech and free
elections.-N. Y. World.
Who would have thought that the
Republican leaders would have had to
resort to trickery in so Republican a
State as Illinois? Evidently, intelligent
Northern people are very weary of them.
Louisville Courier-Journal.
The kind of reciprocity" we are
to have with Brazil under Presidential
proclamation will not lower Republic
an taxes or Mckinley prices on single
one of the 5000 articles which are
taxed to increase their prices.-St. Louis

There is great hope for free gov
eminent. Public opinion has wrought
a mighty work here. From the earliest
proposition of this force bill it encoun-
tered the steady opposition of all the
elements of fair play, getting its only
support from the desperation of party
prejudice, that after tremendous re
buke like that of the November cleo
tons always comes out strong.-Indian-
apolis News.
An admirer of the Maine states
man AYERS that Blaine IS in the field as
a presidential candidate with the rally
ing cry of business" 1t will be ad-
mitte6 that Mr.. Blaine always has an
eye to business, but the difficulty with
his shibboleth is that it suggests vari-
Gus crooked business methods which
have characterized the career of the
man of many tattoo marks and few
scruples.-Chicago Times.
The abandonment of the forcs
bill by the Republicans in the Senate
leaves the way clear for the dispatch
of business, and it is not probable that
there will be any necessity for an extra
session of Congress. Work is away be-
hind, but Congress can dispose OF a
great deal of it in a short time wheI
there is no partisan legislation to inter
fere with it. Quorum counting and ar
bitrary rulings are not needed to secure
the transaction of legitimate work.

Comfortable Wrappers.

There is nothing in dress more attract
i've than the graceful lounging wrap
pers that nowadays form a part of
every lady's wardrobe The materials
used for these garments are light, soft
woods, in a variety of delightful flower
like colorings, and with their soft,
clinging fronts of silk they leave moth
ing in material or color to be desired.
These gowns may follow the Japanese
style, with square sleeves and eccen-
trically draped front, or be modelled
after the Grecian fashion of robe; but
they must always be loose and COM
Portable and not easily disarranged-
There Is one feature of these garments
which is sometimes overlooked when
they are made in this country; that is
their freedom from superhuous orna-
ment- Their grace. like the grace of
all Japanese or Oriental dress, lies in
their drapery and stuff and in the man
ner in which they are made, and not in
extraneous ornament A fringe of lace
is unknown in the Land of the Chrys-
anthemum- The Greek used bands of
trimming, but not fringes. and lace is a
modern luxury that only dates back to
the Renaissance.-N- " Tribune

RAGING RIVERS.

Damage BY Floods at Pittsburgh and Other

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Feb. 19.-At
o'clock the current in the Allegheny
river reached 3:s feet IL inches and be-
gan to slowly recede-
With nearly every iron mill flooded
and closed down, railroad tracks
washed away, squares upon squares of
streets flooded to the second story and
thousands of cellars filled, the direct loss
by the flood can not fall short of $780,
900. The poor living along the river
have suffered so greatly that appeals
for aid have been issued by the mayor
of Allegheny. The greatest losses of
course fall upon the down town whole
sale stores and the river side eSta bliSh-
ments on Pennsylvania avenue, where
fully three miles of cellars are flooded
to the floors and goods damaged beyond
repair.
A special from Johnstown says: s'It
is found that the foundations of many
houses are undermined and 1oosened,
entailing great loss The bones of n
flood victim were found at the point
yesterday, having been washed up by
the waters. They were taken to the
morgue and then inferred in the tun-
known plot at the cemetery. Street
cars are running again, and it is eX-
pected that the Cambria works will re-
sumo operations to-day. The most seri-
Gus loss is now felt to be the destruction
of the bridges. and the different sections
of the city have no communication by
wagons or transfer. The towns below
this city are still in great distress.

About five years ago company with
capital of $75, 900 was organized in an
American city to manufacture lamp
chimneys, lampware and candy jars.
This company operates its factories only
eleven months in the year, yet it has
declared dividends of 90 per cent. every
year, besides laying up in five years a
surplus fund of S175, ZOO.
That is what protection has done!
But the people meanwhile pay for it,!
The duty on lamp globes, shades and
chimneys of glass in the old tariff was
40 to As per cent. Mckinley raises these
duties to 60 per cent. These articles
are a part of the manufactures of the
great flint glass industry, of which
there are some thirty or forty factories
in the country.
There is another chapter to this story.
A recent dispatch from Pittsburgh. Pa,
reports that the flint glass manufacture
ers of that city as saying that over 50
per cent. of all the producing capacity
of the country has been bought up by a
