The Tin Plnte STRUGGLE.

Welsh tin plate makers are in for a
fight to the death to retain their hold
on the American market, and their
principal contest is with their own OPP
eratives, who are to be forced to pay
our customs duties.
From the ore handlers and the coal
miners up to the men and women and
children who help to turn out the fin
ished product there is to be cut. AS
preliminary there is n long holiday,
during which the poorly paid employees
are to get used to living on less than
starvation wages. II this plan Of cam
paign succeeds, Welsh tin can pay the
increased duty and leave the manufact-
urer the handsome profits he has been
earning.
A correspondent Of the Philadelphia
Pres, who has been investigating on
the spot, tells of so per cent dividends.
II these dividends had been earned by
American capital on American tin plato
what columns Of fine reading We would
have from the free trade newspapers.
SO long as foreigners make them at
American cost the free trade news
papers do not even know about them.
If the people will entrust the Repub-
lean party with the power we shall
supply the American market with
American tin plate, and the consumer
will get his tin plato cheaper than ever
before. All We want is a chance to es-
tabllsh the industry.

Capt. Lawler, of the dory Sea Serpent,
which has just crossed the Atlantic in
safety, tells the prize shark story. His
sharkship was gnawing the bow of the
little boat and her commander feared
that the gnawing would soon be trans
ferred to himself. He had with him
some signals made of high explosive,
and one of these he dropped where the
shark could see it. The shark didn't
know it was loaded and he gulped it
down. That ended the shark. 1t will
readily be perceived that after this
there can be no market for sea serpents
until the memory OF Lawler and his
shark shall have faded away.

high Jfnlcs in OIL.

The Standard Oil Company has never
shown more strikingly its complete
mastery over the oil market than in the
closing days Of last week. On Thurs
day It announced that it would thence.
forth equalize the oil Of all the fields,
paying to each a premium Of fifteen
cents barrel regardless Of quality.
Producers were in despair, as well they
might be, for down went certificate Oil
to fifty cents.
The Standard was on hand to buy
when the market reached this destruct-
i've point. There was a howl all along
the line. On Saturday the Standard hit
the market with another announce
ment. All premiums, except on Tiona
oil, we're off and would remain of. This
was interpreted to mean that everybody
was to have IN equal chance to buy and
to sell in the field; and the market re-
bounded with leap such as has not
been known for years, Twenty cents
barrel were added to the price. Oil
closed ut 7O!.
The Standard had the immense ad-
vantade of knowing on Thursday what
it would do on Saturday; hence the
comfortable "rake-of'" OF twenty cents
barrel on all the oil it had been able
to buy in the panic-stricken market it
had made. This is the sort OF thing
Standard men refer to when they speak
Of the supernatural brain power it
requires to operate their great company
successfully. Anybody who has brains
enough to pick pocket could do
what the Standard does il he had the
chance.
The new move is supposed to give
every buyer the same chance as the
Standard has to buy, and therefore ev-
cry seller to market his product where
there is competitor. Where is this COM
petition? With inconsiderable excepf
tions the Standard has made every field
tributory to its pipe lines and its REIN
cries, Its strong hand has had SO firm
hold on the producing interest that
producers have feared to do business
with Independent lines lest the Stand
ard should find a way to strange
them before they got through.
This fear has made ready slaves Of
producers who were SO situated that il
they had had the nerve to act for them
selves they would have been entirely
independent Of the Standard and be-
yond its rich. This very apprehension
has played into the Standards hand
and helped on its game.
Hope is entertained of revival Of
the speculative oil market, and most
producers look with hope on this aspect
OF the case. They do not stop to think
what may be the next move of the
Standard, although their experience
should teach them that the Standard
will move again when it gets ready, and
that the movement will not be at the
Standards expense.

made on them that they arc for Blaine

Well, are they not right to join the pro-

MONTANA money MAKERS
Tho Record Of the Mines for the
Last Month in the Way
Of Dividends.
In tho Past Six Months Home
Properties Have Paid Over
Two Millions.
Reports Frem jefferson County-A Big
Gold Property in Boulder District
Tho East Granite.

Thirteen mining companies operating in
Montana paid their stockholders during
the month Of June $4,000 in dividends.
The same companies, since Jan. 1, 1891,
have returned 81, $50, 700 in the form Of
profits. The total dividends paid during
that period by all the mining companies in
the United States, which make public their
statements. amount to $7,4s1,7 III. From
this it will be seen that from Montana
mines nearly one-third of all the dividends
came. But these W. millions and over do
not represent by any means the profits
which have come from Montana mines
since the first of the year. A majority of
the producing mines in the state do not
make public their operations, and
this il particularly the case with
some Of tho rich producers in
Jefferson md Silver Bow counties. Then
there are hundreds of comparatively small
properties, whose profits go to one or two
individuals, which would add many thou
sands to the right side of the account. But
even the profits of Montana properties do
not represent all that residents Of the state
receive from mining Investments. Helena
men have many thousands invested In
Idaho, Washington, Utah, and other min
eral states, which return regular dividends.
The following table gives the dividends
paid during June and for the six months
ending on the 3Oth Of that month:

A Strong Federation.

Since the Order of Railway Photographers
at their convention at st. Louis last month
struck out the non-striking clause in their
constitution, it Is more than probable that
another strong federation of railway en-
ployes will be formed, including the Order
of Railway Photographers, the Brotherhood
of Stationmasters. tho Order of Railway
Conductors and the Brotherhood of Rail
way 1rainmen.
The chief officers of each Of these organi-
cations ara now meeting at Terre Haute,
Indiana, for the purpose of arranging an
agreement. which if decided upon will go
into effect Immediately, as all the organiza-
ions at conventions held recently gave
their officers power to act In the matter.
The brotherhood of Railway I~rainmen,
until recently belonged to what is known as
the Federation of Railway Trainmen, but
we're expelled from that organization bv a
majority vote of just one, on the charge of
conspirlng to defeat the strike on the Chi
cago & Northwestern The Order of Rail
way Conductors had in an application for
membership in the federation, but with
drew it when they heard of the expulsion
of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen,
and the result is to be n new federation.
1t will be n striking organization, II it is
said that it will be stronger than any other
railway federation that has ever been
formed.
