Driven Out by Mckinley.

The American Screw Company is
one of the largest manufacturers of its
class of goods in the world, and the
Rhode Island Republicans have been
thunderstruck by its official announc-
ment that it is about to remove the
machinery of its mill on Eddy street,
in Providence, R. l., to England. 1t
will operate branch establishments in
Canada, England and Germany to es-
cape the restrictive effects of the Nc
Kinley bill. "Protection in this case, "
says the Providence Telegram, "oper-
ates not only to keep out foreign made
goods, but also to discourage the same
line Of manufacturing here. The thou
sands of workmen who will be employ
ed in England and Germany might be
at work in Rhode Island and the mil.
lions of money might be earned and
spent here instead Of abroad, if it were
not for the robbery of the tariff"
This is fully supported by President
Angel, who, on behalf of the compa-
ny, makes the following explanation
of how it happens that he is driven
abroad to find free field for enter
prise
All the goods that we make IN Can
ada and shall make in England and
Germany could just as well be made
IN Rhode Island were it not for the
fiscal policy of this government. EN-
ployment could be given to thousands
Of workmen here, in the manufacture
of goods for the foreign market, if we
were not hampered by high tariff.
We make better goods and could
make them cheaper here than any
where else in the world in spite of the
higher wages we have to pay, because
our system Of work is so much ahead
Of the European system. The Amer
lean gets higher wages than his Eng
lisb brother, but be does more work
in proportion.
We shall introduce the American
system of work into our Leeds factory
with Americans for the heads of the
various departments, but with English
factory hands. The factory building
covers about an acre and half of
land.
BY "tbe fiscal policy of this Gov
eminent" Mr.. Angel means the Nc
Kinley bill. The company of which
he is president necessarily uses large
quantities of foreign raw material,
which is so weighed down with Nc
Kinley taxes that to escape them it
will 90 to Leeds and cover an acre
and a half of English ground with a
factory built by American money.
In spite of the clause allowing a
drawback on raw material when the
goods made from it in this country
are exported for foreign use, the COM
pany finds that it cannot make the
United States base for building up
and holding foreign trade while the
restrictions of the Mckinley bill are
in force. In order to hold and ex-
tend its foreign business, it is obliged
to operate from England, Germany
and Canada, where, under the effect
of the Mckinley bill, it will use
American capital to give employment
to foreign labor National Democrat.

The use of the bicycle increases in
direct ratio to the quality of the
streets. Buffalo and Washington, the
great asphalt cities, have, in proper
ton to their population. the largest
number of these "poor mans horses, V
and the bicycle riders everywhere are
in favor of asphalt pavement. Nor
do they want it flushed with water.
On the contrary. they will soon be
demanding that the city shall keep its
streets clean by constant gathering Of
the dirt instead of soaking them with
water. Even horse owners whose
animals. are down on their knees so
much will agree in this reform.
The vitrifed brick pavement is al
so claimed by its advocates to be the
equal to the asphalt for smoothness,
without being slippery, and it can be
kept clean without wettipg even better
than asphalt. 1t is also cheaper than
asphalt, and can be disturbed and re-
laid with much less damage to the
surface.
However this may be, the authori-
ties in all cities may make up their
minds that the kind of pavement to
be used will more and more depend
upon what the bicyclers want than
upon the opinions of any other class
in the community for bicycles arc
going to be much cheaper when the
patents expire, and the number of
citizens able to own one will form q
formidable lot of voters.
A bicycling mayor and bicycling
board of aldermen, elected by the
patrons of that machine, is among the
not very remote possibilities. For
the bicyclers will soon be numerous
enough to hold the balance Of power
between the two parties and be hav-
ing something to say about pavements.

The Merit of Persistence.

One of the secrets of successful
advertising consists in keeping your
establishment and the wares you
have to sell before the eyes of the
public continually. The great adj
vertisers of the country never cease
reminding you of their existence.
Their names, the location and nature
of their establishments are thrust
before you continually in the great
daily, weekly and monthly publica-
tions, and at the moment you are
ready to buy anything they have to
sell, at that same moment the names
of these advertisers flash before your
minds eye, and unconscious of the
influence their advertisements have
worked upon yousyou find yourself
going to their places for what you
require.-Panama Eagle.

arrangements TO furnish sample Amer
lean tin cups to Republican clubs for
1892, the Democrats ought TO show
their willingness to encourage Ameri-
can industry by ordering twice as
many as the Republicans take, stamp

If the Democrats show a proper APP
probation of their opportunities, Mr..
Niedringhaus will have to hire at
least FIVE Welshmen and as many az
fifteen boys before his infant industry
cuts its eye.teeth and reaches an age
when he will be willing to have it re.
lease its grip on the public tariff teat.
While we may admit. with the late
A. Ward, that "this is sarkasm," the
whole of the sober truth about the
Niedringhaus works is that IL is a
mere toy tin shop which puts no tin.
plate at all on the market. Mr.. Med
ringhaus is making it pay in advertis-
ing. and he may get fancy rates for
American campaign tin cups, but il
manufacturing tin-plate as a practical
business matter of supplying the mar
ket is meant, he is not in the business
at all.
The tariff on his granite iron ware
is very heavy, and it has made him
a very wealthy man. Even if he did
not get back thousand per cent. in
advertising on every dollar he spends
he is rich enough to amuse himself
with a toy tin.plate shop. and to bring
over as many Welshmen as he likes
to run it.
We are to have this tin-plate "fad'
until after 1892. The Welshmen in
these toy factories will turn out Amer
lean campaign cups, which will rep

of dollars in higher taxes and in
creased prices for tinware. After the
campaign is over the fad will disap

have to be paid until the Democratic
party finds opportunity to reform the

The Bicycler and His Pavement.


The invention of the safety bicycle
is one of the blessings of the day. 1t
is the poor mans horse. 1t goes fast
er than all but the most valuable of
nags. 1t saves the owner that de-
pressing consciousness as he hears his
steed champing in the stable, that the
beast is eating greenbacks. 1t
seldom gets spawned, or breaks leg
and has to be shot it is not a victim
of the "epizoot )" is not afflicted with
a thousand and one ailments, or
twists of shoulder, knee and fetlock
joint; when once mastered rarely, if
ever, breaks its owners bones, much
less his neck, or ever abrades his skin.
A piece of paper flying in the street
does not in 80 seconds destroy &c.,
900 worth Of valuable animal, or a
life which to the owner is more valu-
able than any-his own.
One has only to see the increasing
ly long line of riders every morning,
noon and night, riding to and from
work, or in the afternoon, evening
and holidays, spinning along the
avenues, the roads or the city parks,
to realize that in few years these
vehicles will far outnumber all other
kinds, and that the bicycle riders,
rather than the horse owners, will
have to be consulted in regard to the
kind of pavement that is to be laid
down.

take the places Of the Slavs at lower
wages they will in turn strike for in
creased pay. Then, We presume, it
will be in order to play off the Huns
against the dagos. The officials of
the mine workers organizations are
said to be working with some effect
among the Italians in inducing them
to organize. Of course they will be
great fools if they do not. AS it is,
they are merely one of the pawns the
operators play in their conflict with
organized labor.
Both the Italians and Stays can

man would starve. A correspondent
who has been sojournipg in darkest
Pennsylvania" writes:
"The average earning of all the
mine workers in this region for the
year 1890 is stated, as the result of
computations by the officials of the
labor organizations, to haye been SO
cents a day. They live in houses
owned by the company, on land own
ed by the company. They buy their
groceries, provisions and dry goods
at the company store and pay for
them.
can account of the work they do is
kept by the company agents, and Of
this account they have no knowledge,
nor could they have even if they knew
the language. At the end of the
semi-monthly period they take the
amount which the superintendent of
the mine sees fit to pay them, and ask
no questions. From this amount,
small as it is, some of them save a
portion, and after few years take it
with them to their own country.
"Their houses are scantily furnish
ed and far from clean. Each family
has two rooms downstairs and loft
above. A stove, some tin dishes, a
table, few chairs, a cradle and some
coarse bedding comprise the furnish
ings of their home. Here they live, a
a dozen, sometimes, in one family,
and to this must the native workman
come, or the wealthy and highly-pro-
tested coal barons of Pennsylvania
have no use for him. This is 'protec-
ton to the American laborer, as ex-
emplifed in the Connellsville coke
region"
The strike Cor more properly lock-
OUT to compel the acceptance of re-
duced wages cost millions to operators
and workmen. A round dozen of per-
sons have been killed, and some thirty
wounded. There have been well on
to a thousand evictions. The people
are living in tents, stables and shan
ties, wherever they can find shelter.
And it is to this, says the World
correspondent, from whom we have
quoted, "that the coal barons have
bought this region. They have
driven out the native miner, and his
place they have filled with the 'ignor-
ant and pauper labor of Europe
which now seems about to be thrown
by the thousands upon this region to
live no one knows how. And this
they have done, all the while profess
ing that they sought relief from this
same 'pauper labor and only desired
protection for the American work.
men,"
People should not be uncharitable
in judging the operators. The glori.
Gus cause of American labor will de-
mand from them generous contribu-
tons when the Quays and Dudleys
pass around the hat next year.-Pitts-

BOUT ALARM CLOCKS. l

 l My advice to those who find it nec- essary to rise early is. do not depend on 8 single alarm clock. The human mind is so constituted that it soon be- comes accustomed to oft repeated sounds, and while am not prepared to say that an alarm clock will not be heard, can safely predict that it will not long be needed by its owner. ! There are people whose habits are so regular that they habitually awake about the time their alarms are sprung. They would be surprised into wakefulness if their alarms failed to act, and it is quite probable that they would awake at about the same time without the use of such a clock. If the tone and character of the sound of an alarm clock could be changed once a week, the result would be very different One would then have no opportunity to acquire the familiarity which breeds contempt.
