A MATTER DE COST ONLY

1t is not quite insisted that the closing
down of number Of the large tin plate
works in Wales is due to the manufact-
ure of tinware in this country, but it is
tntimated that the Welshmen see the
penumbra of disaster and prudently
provide against it. They may remem-
Der that MCKINLEY asserted that great
plate mills would be in operation in this
country in six months after the passage
of the bill. But he asserted also that
the price would not advance here until
the duty came in force in July. He was
not good prophet, in that it has been
for long time from 20 to 25 per cent
above the figures when he made his pre-
diction. The mills of Wales are sus-
pending part of their production for
time because they have glutted
the American market, and, having
Melted some 100000 to $1,000, 600 addi-
tional profit by virtue of the advance in
anticipation of the tariff, they can af-
ford to take a respite. If it were not
for the coming duty, prices would fall
as they naturally do when the supply
exceeds the consumption. The imports
of tin plate in March and April were al
most double the imports of the same
months the year previous. and it is be-
lleved May and June will slow nearly
the same figures. 1t should be the
pleasant anticipation of the high tariff
advocates that the $4,000 TN workers in
Wales now out of employment are COM
ing to this country to carry on their in
dustry. 1t is sometimes even intimated
that the capitalists will remove their
mills this side of the water under the
persuasions of McKinleyism. There
are, however, no facts visible to war
rant this anticipation. 1t does not APP
pear that the recent increase, in immi-
grafton is at all due to any exc
dus from Wales. The only tin
ware with the American stamp so ia
has been political tin. The men who
imposed the nigh duty show that they
looked upon the manufacture in this
country as doubtful experiment. by
providing that in six years tin plate
should go on the free list if the manu-
facture in the United States did not
equal one-third Of the importation for
any one of the six years. 1t would be
all impeachment of the capacity and
genius of the American people to as
sumo that they cannot manufacture
anything the Welsh or any other human
beings are able to, provided there are
no natural or climatic obstacles. 1t is
only a question of financial expediencv.
The duty to become operative next
week is equal to seventy per cent ad
valorem of the average prices of tin
imported in the last calendar year. This
is burden to the people, and es-
pecially to other branches of manufact-
ure that are largely dependent upon tin
ware. To build up one industry by de-
pressing and preventing the extension
of others would be of doubtful equity OF
eXpediency. 1t is not so much the pos
sibility of making tin in this country as
the profit after taxing the people. and
other industries. 1t is not a manu-
facture readily brought into lucrative
existence without the trained and cheap
labor that is mainly confined to Wales.
1t is regarded as an unpleasant and I'M
healthy occupation, but can be had if il
is worth the cost.

SCARED THE OMAHOGS.
Raging Rain and Roaring Rivers

Raging Rain and Roaring Rivers
in Nebraska.
OMAHA, Neb., June 26.-Considera-
BILE damage was done in Omaha by a
storm which ragged all day and did not
cease until evening. East Omaha was
and badly flooded and thickly popu-
lated section of the northern part of the
city was inundated. From Clark street
north on Twenty-fourth street the
water is from two to six feet
deep in the street, and the street car
traffic is abandoned. The police and fire
departments sent force of men to the
inundated district to rescue the dis
tressed people and their effects. No
lives were lost, but there were several
narrow escapes from drowning, and an
old lady who was confined to her bed
was with difficulty taken from her
house, which was filled with water five
feet deep.
Several washolts are reported on
branch lines Of the Burlington & Elk
horn, causing the abandonment of
trains. The break on the Union Pacific
at Central City has been repaired. and
the overland trains which had been de-
layed since Thursday morning reached
Omaha tonight. Reports from the
state bring additional news of damage
by wind and ralE. Three cyclones
passed over Palmer. but did very
little damage in the town. In
and about the surrounding country,
however, crops are demolished. A spe-
cial to the Bee from Ida Grove, To-,
says twenty-five houses are flooded
there, and the people have been obliged
to seek safety and shelter on the high
ground. All communication with the
highest ever known.
NEBRASKA CITY, Neb.. June ga
terrific rainstorm prevailed here this
afternoon. Cellars and houses were
flooded, the damage aggregating several
thousand dollars. Small grain was
beaten down and badly damaged.

WHAT is FREE COINAGE?

There is confusion of ideas in this
discussion of the silver coinage ques-
ton, caused by the want of precision in
the terms used to define the different
positions taken on it. Just as ON the
tariff question the term free traders is
applied to the Democrats, when the
policy of that party is not the
entire removal of the burden OF
taxation from international exchanges,
so now the tern free coiners is
applied to all who believe in the use of
both gold and silver as the metal basis
of our currency, as we'll as to those who
would make silver the dominant metal.
The fact is that there are all shades of
opinion on the subject, ranging from
those who think that silver is untitled for
any other use than token currency, and
would demonetiZe it except as subsid-
larry coin, to those who are of the opinion
that silver has not deprecated, but that
it's gold that has appreciated, and who
would debase the coinage of the latter
metal. There are those, both Demo
Gratis and Republicans, who advocate
free coinage of silver which would give
to the bullion owner one dollar for
every seyenty-eight centS'wOrth Of bull
ION, which was the purpose of the
amended senate bill; and they term
themselves free coiners. When 1t is
said that the Democrats are in favor of
free and unrestricted coinage of silver,
it is the kind contemplated by the SEN
ate measure that is generally intended.
This is the.impresSion sought to be con-
yeyed by Republican papers and speak
erS. The fact that the Democratic party
has always been hard money party,
coming freely and equally both metals;
and that it adheres to its policy now fur
nishes plausible foundation for the
charge without there being one in fact.
1t is, perhaps, unfortunate that there is
no apt term for the designation of the
men who would force the government
TO pay bullionaires premium on their
metal; for it gives them the opportunity
to point to the frequent ayowalS of DEM
ocratic conventions and papers in favor
Of free coinage, and to claim that theirs
is the policy Of that party. But it is not
and cannot be until the Democratic
party changes its nature. 1t will cease
to be Democratic the moment it adopts
so fragrant policy of class legislation
as is the proposal to pay silver produ-
GERS Sl.29 for the ounce of silver for
which they cannot get to-day more
than S1.02 in any market in the world.
This is not the kind of free coinage the
mass of the Democrats want, nor is it
the kind their party will give them.
1t can consistently declare itself as
faVoring free coinage of both metals
on equal terms, delivering coin values
for equivalent bullion values. What of
gain came from this would enure to the
people and not to the bullion owners.
If this is what free coinage means, then
Democrats are free coiners, and the
policy is so honest and fair that there
can be no partisan issue made against
!. it, except by the party of protection,
and it dare not.

is put at twenty-three and one-half knots
an hour. This is not the limit of speed
by any present contrivances. as some
of the torpedo boats can make twenty
seven knots an hour. 1t is, however,
considerably ahead of the work of any
of the passenger vessels. 1t is not diff
cult to remember when twelve knots an
hour was the best rate Of speed. Ii
his has zen doubled i'll brief period
the fact is quite as surprising as 1t Will
be when another doubling is attained.
In fact, there is hardly any other limit
to speed upon the water than that OF
expense, as upon the land. Railroad
trains can make 100 miles an hour when
the public is willing to pay the greatly
increased cnst OF building roads, loco
motives and cars adapted to that rate OF
speed. Rapid movement on the water
requires a great increase OF motive
power. The present mechanical app!i-
ances are adequate to the construction
of vessels that will exceed forty knots
an hour, but the expense muitlplies
enormously, and the question of profit
is only in the way. 1t is predicted, how
ever, that in less than decade the
water part of the trip to Europe Will
take but two days. 1t will be but
Ierry-boat ride.

tleman at the Ryan last evening land is at
the same time in most favorable position to
know the pulse of the trade in the Northwest
in particular. and the country in general, the
present situation is certainly very interest
ing one, and when rightly understood must
prove a very pleasing one to the farmer
The fact that the output of Irvine during
the past year is very largely in excess of that
of any previous year. coupled with the fact
that the manufacturers and jobbers of this
Irvine have placed upon the road a remarka-
bly, large force of statesmen to dispose of it,
too clearly indicates the true situation to re-
Qulre further comment.
NOW. not one of these manufacturers or
jobbers intends to carry over to another sea-
son a single pound Of this Irvine IL there is
any way to avoid it and the question of price
will not be allowed to stand in the way At
the final roundup, just on the eve of harvest,
when the home stretch is struck, the mud
will fly. and the farmer and dealer who has
had his eye open for business, and who has
deferred purchasing his Irvine awaiting an
opportune time, will see the wisdo ON of his
way and profit largely thereby. Competition
is said to be the life of trade. 1t is also the
great regulator of prices. Give US plenty of

ALLEY ASSIGNS.
The Lynn Millionaire Involved in
Recent Failure

Boston, June 26.-Hon. John B. Al
ley, of Lynn, has assigned for the bene-
fit of his creditors TO William A. Knowl-
ton, who is one of the assignees of Alley
Bros. & Place. the leather dealers who
recently failed. Mr.. Alley owes the
above mentioned firm $500, 900 or $780,
900, but, aside from this Indebtedness,
the liabilities are very small. Mr.. AL
ley's Indebtedness to Alley Bros &
Place is understood TO be secured in
whole or in part. His affairs are found
to be involved with those of that firm,
and that it was deemed best for him to
assign as the best method of sraighten-
ing out his affairs. A joint meeting of
creditors will probably be called, as it
will be necessary to show the financial
condition of all three brothers and
Place. Mr.. Alleys fortune, few years
ago, was estimated at S3,000,000. The
famous Snow-Alley lawsuit cost Mr..
Alley large sum of money, and he has
also met with heavy losses in the West,
but no one supposed that he would have
to assign.

was courtesy itself, but the guest had come
only to see and not 20 hear. Finally she
asked to see Mrs. Hills jewels. Mrs. Hill left
the room to get them and sent them back-by
