wealthy Miss Emma Valenti, owing to

Besides that it is bad

sensible and disposed TO be honest may
say ''If Mobile and Baltimore can send
out ships without subsidy, why not New

THERE Is no consensus of opinion
among the pro ectionist crsnks concern
ing the objects or the benefits Of any
particular measure advocated by the
Mckinley invitation to prosperity This
is notably the caseconcerning tin plate Of
which there are the widest vagaries and
the most uncomfortable nonsense pre-
vailing, unrelieved by an iota Of fact or Of
sense. Nobody knows why the addition
al tax was imposed and nobody has taken
the pains to examine whether or not j.
was not freudulently imposed, as the
secretary Of the Amalgated Iron and
Steel Works says, through the deceit and
lying Of Nedringhaus. Through self
interest, a silly partlsanship, or from
Ignorance the entire Republican party Is
advocating and defending the Increased
tax on tin withoutknowing or without car
ing why Meantime the tin plate liar goes
on In confidence OF his ability to show that
IN 1897 one fourth Of the tin plate con
sumed in America is made in America. II
that cannot be done, or If the lie or some
other lie. cannot be foisted and exploited
on the fool voter. tin plate will come In
