increase of about so per cent. over
the average monthly receipts at that
port, the Philadelphia Evening
Herald" recently said: "From in
formation that can be obtained at
the Custom House, the Importation
of tin (plate) for April will almost
double the figures of March" In
one week of April 9, $4,000 pounds
were received at Baltimore and
Philadelphia.

The Clevel andDemOcracy.

The Clevel andDemOcraey.
The Cleveland Democratic club
opened in Buffalo, recently, and
was properly enthused by a speech
from the ex-president. Mr.. Cleve-
lands speech is full of empty noth-
ings even his stale tariff reform"
is omitted. Mr.. Cleveland is being
nightly doomed for the presidency,
and we presume that the Cleveland
Democracy will now be the popular
affectation, all with a view to the
"loaves and fishes" 1t seems that
the Democratic party, while it has
only one name, has variety of
kinds. There is the Jeffersonian
Democracy, the Calhoun Democra-
cy, the Jackson Democracy, the
jeff Davis Democracy, and now
up springs the Cleveland Democra-
cy. Jefferson believed in equal
rights for all, and special privileges
for none" He also believed in
emancipation. The next great
Democrat believed in state rights,
white supremacy and negro slavery.
jackson believed that "to the victor
belongs the spoils," and jeff Davis
attempted to enforce the Calhoun
doctrine, and failed. Each and all Of
those gentlemen had Distinguishing
traits, and their leadership can be
accounted for. But just why Mr..
Cleveland should become the father
of another heir to Jefferson is be-
yond our comprehension. Mr..
Cleveland is a nondescript; for if he
believed with Jefferson, he would
have been in the Union army; if he
believed with Calhoun, he would
have been in the Confederate army |;
if he believed with Jackson, he
would have turned the rascals OUT"
if he believed with Davis, he would
have died in the last ditch. Thus
failing, and having no traits of his
own, he cannot be described, and so
the Cleveland Democrats may be
called the Cleveland nondescript
Democrats.

fects on the Foreign Article.
A few days ago the New York
Tribune sought to make it's readers
believe that American tin plate was
already driving foreign tin plate
out of our markets. We quote
from an editorial paragraph, pub
lished by 1.-The Tribune" on April
"a, the following curious and anus
ing remarks:
Why, the Mckinley bill was going
to raise the price of tin plate !!
Don't you remember the Free Trade
tears that were shed over the little
tin pail of the laborer' And now
to learn that the American market
in six months time has been so far
filled by American tin plate as to
compel the Welsh Trust to shut
down to prevent great glut of the
market! This is said for the free
trader.
We have taken from the reports
of the treasury department concern
ing imports Of merchandise some
statistics showing the enormous and
unprecedented imports of tin plate
which have recently been received
at our ports of entry. Even the
blindest devotee of McKinleyism can
see the meaning of these official
figures. They are as follows:
IN THE LAST TWO YEARS.

plates, and
taggers' tin

Busy.

Inc RepuDllCal poilIiCal alihalaS
fixers are now busy prognosticating
the kind of a political whirlwind
there will be in the United States
on or about November, '92. One
Foster, a member of Deacon Ben's
staff, comes to the front about the
time of the Cincinnati meeting, and
prognosticates as follows:
have much more faith in good
crops and good prices, produced by
honest labor, than / have in any OF
the so-called means of relief espous,
ed by the ladies and gentlemen in
session at Cincinnati. Providence
is giving us good crops and the Nc
Kinley bill will give us good prices.
This means that President Harrison
will be renominated and that the
Republicans will be triumphant at
the next election. And the third
party, that will be all right by that
time, the prosperity of it's member
ship-with all other inhabitants of
this country-will be such that
thousands of them will visit Wash
ington on the occasion of President
Harrison's re-inauguration. This
will be heartily welcomed.
Also one Chauncy M. Depew has
been taking look at the political
clouds, and says that the cause of
their looking so stormy is the result
of "three years shortage of crops
and inability to pay interest and
taxes" but he thinks now there will
be q monster crop in this country,
and famine abroad, that will ena-
BILE farmers to extort big prices
from suffering Europeans, and thus
will come relief to farmers. These
things, according to his prognosti-
eating, would clear the political at
mosphere of the present angry
looking clouds, and by 1872, the Re-
publican party would have clear
sailing, etc. Now then we notice
that the Deacon's staff member bas-
es his representation for the sue
cess of Ben in 1872 on his faith in
good crops and good prices, produc-
ed by honest labor, and that the
Mckinley bill will give the good
prices. Also, we notice that Boss
Depew bases his representations for
the success of the party in suppos-
ing there will be monster crop in
this country, and famine abroad,
which will enable the farmers OF
this country to extort big prices
from suffering Europeans. Thus
we see that the man who holds the
kew of the door of the United
States money crib says that the
Mckinley bill will pay the good
prices, and Boss Depew supposes the
farmers will have to extort big
prices from those who are starving
in Europe. Further comments are
unnecessary, more than to say that
the aforesaid will be the keynote OF

 The big man was half drunk, and when he leered st the young woman she tried to pass him on the extreme outer edge of the sidewalk. He stepped in front of Der and she tried to pass to tbe other side of him. He was in front of her sgsin and ex- claimed:
 Don't hurry, my pretty"
 She was about to turn snd run when another man emerged from the shadow Of building
 Hold on ihere,' he said. What's the matter?''
 '.None of your business" retorted the first man.
 Well, we'll see, said the second. "You've been annoying this lady"
 ''Mebbe she's your wife," sneered the first.
 "Well, she isn't
 .'Or your sister"
 "No.p
 t'Or your sweetheart"
 ''Neser saw her before.n
 70, you're trying to make a mash, too, are you?"
 Pugilists would have called the blow 'sbesutiful' one, but the kick that followed it would certainly have been declared 6 s.fouI."

 '.Go home," exclaimed her champion.
 But, sir, you have"
 .'Go on home, I tell you, and don't be chasing around nights sgain," he interrupted.
 "But your noble action,n she began again.
 "Noble nothing" he Interrupted again. "I've been watching for that man for six weeks, and it's the frst time I've found him so drunk that I could smash him without getting the worst of it. Go on home. This was business, not romance. He beat me out Of Sl 50.
