TIL TIN PLATE FRAUD.

An innocent looking drawback pro-
vision inserted in that section of the
Mckinley bill that fixes the duty on
tinplate is made by David A. Wells, in
a letter to the New York Evening Post,
to take on a pretty ugly look. Mr.. Wells
shows that the only party likely to obtain
any considerable benefit from the law
will be the Standard Oil company. AS
W per cent. of the duty on ~tinplate is
repaid, the Standard company will be
80 per cent. better off than home con
sumers IN the purchase Of tin for the
cans used IN exporting petroleum. 1t is
impossible to follow imported wool, or

ture with other material in making it

HELENA, MONT, APRIL -. 1891
A MORSE

Within recent years it has been a ire
quent boast Of Norwegian statesmen
that the next European republic would
celebrate it's birth at Christiania. Since
the fall of the conservative ministry OF
Herr Stang, a few days ago, additional.
weight is lent to the representation
and the establishment of another repub-
lican form of government in the ole
world seems to approach within meas
urable distance. Mr.. Gladstone is fonG
of assailing the Irish connection with
( England as a paper" union. a union
that was contaminated by bribery and
corruption. and one that has never
yet found an echo in the hearts of the
great mass of the Irish people. The
union between Sweden and Norway was
the union of the strong hand with the
booty which it clutched. 1t was effected
against the wishes and the armed re-
sistance of the Norwegian people. 1t
wal Bernadotte, proclaimed CROWN prince
of Sweden in 1914, who played his polit-
ioal game so well that secured from
Denmark the cession of Norway to his
kingdom. In the struggle which fol
lowed the 'dlvorce,' the Norwegians
were overcome and forced to accept
Christian XIII as their sovereign.
The discomfort thus ~engendered has
never died out. In the personal union,
which followed the war, there was nat
urally only n ministry of foreign af-
fairs, and it is round this question the
modern struggle rallies, for Sweden still
holds the balance of power. The coun-
Gil which decides for both countries all
the main questions of foreign policy
is composed of the king and two
Swedish ministers. 1t is the com
position of this body that has
wrecked the administration of the con
sentative leader, with whom the king is
in warm sympathy. Norway has moth
ing whatever to say regarding the for
eign relations of Sweden. while Sweden
has practically entire control of the ex-
ternal policy of Norway. AS we have
said, the discomfort is no new birth. It
has found frequent expression from pa
triotic Morse statesmen, who long ago
expressed their sense of the injustice
done them by Withdrawing from their
countrymen the privilege of accepting
titles of nobility from the king of Swe-
den.
The train Of future events is likely to
be full of interest. After an Intellectual
attempt to form another cabinet, the
king has been forced to call to his as
~sistance the services of Herr Steen, the
trusted leader of the Norwegian left.
For at least a decade the new premier
has been an object of the utmost detes-
tation to the present ruler of Norway
and Sweden, and the former is not likely
to forget the Sights that have been put
upon him. lie has formed a cabinet
that meets with popular favor, and the
gauntlet is fairly thrown down. The
conservative leader recognized the full
meaning of the opposition, when he de-
clared, in the course of a stormy debate
in the storthing, that the acceptance OF
the radical measure meant the dissolu-
tion of the union. That was exactly the
game that the Norwegian delegates
were cunning" for, and home rule for
Norway, under the presidency of Herr
Steen, may soon be an accomplished
fact.

People are prone to regard the Sue2
canal as n of the greatest of mans
achievements in the interest of COM
merce, yet it does not compare in i'm
portance with a less known enterprise
that is wholly an American work. The
traffic of the Suez canal for 1890 was
1889 vessels, registering 6,S90,O14 tons.
The traffic of the Sault Ste. Marie canal,
through which vessels from Lake Supe-
rlor reach the lower lakes, in 1890 was
lO,557 vessels and s,45l,435 tons. The
Suez canal is open the year round. In

No MORE forcible presentation OF the
reckless and wicked extravaganza of the
billion dollar congress was ever made
than hat by the Hon. Benton McMil-
lin. of Tennessee, IN his speech to the
Young Mems Democratic club, at Bos-
ton. last week. He said:
Beside this congress the eXtrava-
gance of all others sink into insignii-
canoe. A billion eight million spent in
two years is it's record. A sum so great
it has to be dived up and considered in
sections and by comparison to compre-
bend it. 1t is SIG a minute for all the
time since the declaration of independ-
ence was signed. 1t is $50 for every
hour since the Savior was born into the
world. You have all heard of the prod
igal son. His s~quandering was nothing
when compared to theirs. Ii he could
rise from the tomb he would blush be

stand forth as ~parsimonious as Shylock
when compared to these. And | apollo

for doing him tho injustice to compare
him to this congress. He squandered
only his own Inheritance, not that of
others. Besides, he repented, while they
never did"

country calling for more appropriations
for subsidies and pensions.
