The LAW About Oil.

1t now appears that there is a strong
likelihood of nearly every fire insur
ance policy now in force in Michigan
being declared invalid by reason of the
Ferguson act lowering the explosive
test of burning oils made from petro-
leum. Michigan never had but one law
which afforded absolute security to con-
sumers of Kerosene That law not only
provided for the flash test of 1870 deg
Fahrenheit, but it also introduced the
'chill test" first discovered by DR.. r. c.
Kedzie, of the agricultural college, for
detecting adulteration with parafline,
substance which injured the illumin-
ating properties of oil, but by its me.
chanical action under heat hindered
IMPORTATION, and thus enabled manu-
facturers to palm off upon consumers
an article that was below the standard
provided by law The introduction of
the freezing test was a death blow to
that kind of knavery, and some manu-
facturers acknowledged that DR.. Kedzie
was the only person who had success
fully checkmated them, and obliged
them to furnish to Michigan people a
pure oil. Further evidence of this is
found in the fact that the Standard Oil
to secure its repeal, which was accom-
plshed Gf our memory is not at fault
four years later. The flash test had
also been gradually reduced from $50
deg. to 100 deg, which was regarded by
most experts as allowing no margin be-
tween consumers and the danger lne,
being only ten degrees above the low
est standard recognized as safe by in.
surance companies.
Last winter the same parties who had
wiped out the chill test made last and
determined attack upon the remaining
barriers contained in the law. The
safety of the people was ridiculed, and
Professor Kedzie maligned as an agent
of the monopoly whom he alone had
effectually baked in their dishonest de.
signs upon the public purse and public
safety. The conspirators were success
full, and the inspection law of Michigan
is to-day an absolute deadletter as a
measure of safety, with the test reduced
to flash at 105 deg. The employment
of inspectors is farce, as the oil, if
honestly up to the present legal stand
ard, is scarcely more safe than gasoline

A Triumph of Diplomacy.

The removal by Germany of regula-
tions forbidding the importation into
that country of American pork is a
triumph, not only for American diplo-
macy, but for good business methods.
At no time has there been real reason
for the prohibition, but in the absence
of effective legislation providing for in
spection in the United States, Germany
had at least an excuse for its action.
1t became plain that the United States
must enact some law giving its officials
more power to deal with the question
before it could hope to negotiate with
success. These conditions were salts
fed when the Mckinley tariff, with its
reciprocity section, was signed, and
when congress passed and the president
approved the act Of March 3, 1891, pro-
viding for rigid system of meat in
spection under the direction of the Sec
rotary of agriculture.
The result is gratifying to our ma
tional pride. What is of more import
ance, it opens an additional market for
the annual sale of not less than 10000,
600 of American products. Through
this striking success of President Harri-
son, Secretary Blaine and Minister
Phelps, the reciprocity policy has again
commended itself to the country as
efficient in promoting the ends for
which it was designed. 1t was not the
assurance of fair inspection system
alone that led the German authorities
to take the step they have just taken.
The entrance of American products in
Ito Germany was aided at every point
by the recognized fact that the presi-
dent has power under existing laws
to. suspend the free importation of Ger
man sugar if the government of the
kaiser continued to treat American pro-
ducts unfairly As Germany has devel-
oped its beet sugar industry by the pay
ment of bounties, her authorities were
wise in not persisting in a course that
would challenge the use of this power
by the president.
The result is satisfactory in every
way. Success imposes upon our gov.
eminent and our people the obligation
of seeing that our laws providing for
meat inspection are enforced to the
letter Our new system of inspection
should be made so perfect as to be
placed beyond question. When the
Germans buy our pork products in any
form they should be taught to have rs
much respect for our methods of inspec.
ton as they can possibly have for their
own. The statement that the effect OF
the negotiations will also be to modify
the vexatious German regulations which
have virtually prohibited the importa'
ton of American cattle and beef, and
that the duties now imposed on Ameri
can cereals will be largely reduced
makes the situation all the more salts.
factory.
1t is signal triumph for American
diplomacy, the Republican administra
ton and the Mckinley bill.-NeU York

American Tin Plate.

We presume no one will have the
hardihood to charge the Iron Age with
being biased in favor of any political
party or political theory. Its theme is
iron its manufacture, its use, its
market-and its utterances in reference
to this commodity are regarded as the
highest authority everywhere. In view
of this, the following editorial from its
issue of June will be read Nth in
terest:
1.-The newspaper opponents OF the
domestic manufacturers of tin plate
appear to have exhausted themselves.
There has lately been notable decrease
in the number of adverse articles APP
pearing in the daily press, and in some
instances the most furious writer's
against American tin plates have
actually permitted whole weeks to pass
without murmur on the subject. 1t
was, perhaps, rather disheartening to
keep up a constant fusilade of bitter
arguments and unpleasant epithets
while manufacturers were steadily GO
ing ahead with their preparations to
engage in the new industry as though
they were backed by the unanimous
sentiment of the country. The violence
of the attacks made on these enterpris-
ing Americans was too great to be kept
up, unless signs of weakening had be-
come perceptible among those who
proposed to engage in the business.
But their number seems to be augment
ing instead of diminishing, just as
though the opposition was stimulus in
stead of blight. American roofing
plates have standing in the market
now, and American bright plates will
soon be so plentiful that they will no
longer be regarded with curious eyes.
1t is suggestive of a favorable change
in public sentiment on this question
that latterly rumOrs have become more
abundant with regard to the establish
mcnt of new tinplate works and the
transplanting of Welsh tin-plate enter
prises to American soil"
And the following local item, clipped
from the same issue, is considered of
sufficient Importance TO reproduce in
this connection:
"The first carload order for Ameri-
can terne plates thus far placed in the
Chicago market was taken last week
by the Pittsburgh Electroplating Com
pany, of which p. IL. Laufman is presi-
dent The purchasers were John john
ston &-Co., dealers in tinsmiths' and
roofers' stock, 23l Lake street. These
plates are double coated and were sold
at a price somewhat lower than import
ed plates of similar quality, the makers
guaranteeing to furnish two good plates
for every defective one that might be
found. The assortment consisted of
II 20, 20 2S and 20 X So, in both &c
and TX. The purchasers are advised
that the carload was shipped from the
works on the eth. They have also
ordered plates 80 SO, which will be
shipped later"
