take a ride up or down town on the Broad

TIN Plate MANUFACTURES.

Mr.. Reidringhaus. who by the grace OF
Radicalism and McKinleyism has q lien on
the manufacture Of tin plate in this country
recently distributed among the Republican
State Committee of Massachusetts number
of suitably inscribed samples Of tin manufac-
ture made by his st. Louis Stamping Com
pany. These samples were furnished for
campaign use, and to show the voters how
this branch of industry had been stimulated
in America by protection.
But there were some little points in con-
nection with the industry which Mr.. Neid-
ringhaus was very careful not to dwell on.
These were, that consumers are paying about
$15,OO0OOO a year in needless taxes so that
Mr.. Eeidrlnghaus may make O fortune, and
that even with this he cannot line his pockets
or even conduct his business unless he is al
lowed to import cheap foreign labor to take
the place Of his American workmen when
they 90 out on strike. There are some things
which Radical monopolists cannot afford TO
divulge. lest the fact that Patriotism and
Protection are by no means synonymous
terms might be divulgsd.

FRED DOUGLASS while in Hayti had host
of annoyances to contend with. Those Hay
tian negroes who liked him drew the color
line and did not like his white wife, while
those who liked her had no respect for him
because he was black. Fred found himself
in the way, so completely hampered and en-
barrassed that he came TO the conclusion the
only way he could get any peace ut all was by
throwing up the sponge. So he resigned.
We always thought the white wife of his
would get him into trouble.

The present Congress is expected to make
the tariff issue more clear cut before the peo
pie than ever Colonel William r. Morrison,
of Illinois, thinks the House will pass a meas
ure making so many changes in the tariff
schedule that it will amount to general bill.
This, of course, will be defeated in the Sen
ate, and thus the two parties will appear more
distinctly even than now in their true colors
as opponents and defenders, respectively. of
the infamous robber protection fastened on
the country by the Mckinley law. Should
the Senate, contrary to all expectation, pass
this bill, it would be case of fragrant. self
qualification and would show that even Re
publcans were ready TO confess that they had
burdened the country with a system of oner-
Gus taxation both inexcusable and indefensi-

Call for n Half Cent,

The half cent has become a necessity
in American trade, and the American
Newsdealers' association will petition
congress to establish half cent coinage.
On one cent papers the dealers profit is
only half a cent. and in many instances
the half cent is lost because there is no
coin of this value. An appreciable loss
arises from this source in the course of
year. 1t is a favorite way in marking
retail goods of all kinds to rate them in
such a way that the half cent comes in,
and III every case goes to the dealer.
This odd cent in large establishment
certainly amounts to several dollars
daily, which the buyers lose and the
seller gains for want of one-half cent
coin. The infnitesimal divisions of in
dustry and retail supplied long ago made
these small coins a necessity in Europe.
A centime is a fifth of cent. Switzer-
land has centimc piece, Belgium two
centime piece; Germany has the pfennig,
equal to one-fourth Of cent.-Aye of

Game in London.

The London shops are just now glut-
ted with wild fowl. There has never
been such an abundance. In the case of
pheasants the supply is normal and pretty
regular. So many are wanted each day,
and 81 many are forthcoming fowls
or turkeys. Their production, destruc-
ton and supply i'll the London market is
SO obedient to commercial rule that
pheasants have scarcely the dignity of
game. They are merely brightly plu-
mayed poultry, sold with their feathers
on. But the case is otherwise with
woodcock, snipe and teal. This present
plentifulness is a sign of the severe
weather and their cheapness is due
partly to their plentifulness. But that
does not explain it altogether. The poor
things are cheap because in many in
stances their carcasses are almost skel-
etons.
Besides these we have ptarmigan and
partridge. The ptarmigan are not so
plentiful as in former winters Sweden
and Norway rather overdid the supply
1t seems now to be the turn for part
ridge. There is the familiar bird of our
own stubble and turnip fields. 1t keeps
its price and its place. But the French
partridge-the red legged variety-are
coming freely into market, and Russia
is sending US over thousands of braces,
which, after theexpense and risk of long
carriage, can be sold at two-thirds the
price of our own birds.-Pall Mall Ga

Good Corn 70 Eaise.

A Kansas paper says TIE entire supply
of Jerusalem corn came from two ker-
nels. These produced the seed from
which five bushels We're raised the fol-
lowing season, and the next crop amount
ed to 500 bushels.
The plant grows to the height of about
three feet and resembles broom corn or
sorghum. The grain is white and an
swers every purpose which is served by
Indian corn. 1t makes sweeter and bet
ter bread. and is delicious when boiled
after the manner of oatmeal. In wet
weather it runs to stalks and grows six
feet high, without any grain to speak of.
1t produces best when the season is
dry. and after the plant gets start it is
said to be absolutely impervious to the
influence of drought and hot winds

pairing to engage in its culture next sea-

Why the Price of Soup Was Raised.

The price has been advanced five cents
plate for soup orders at Youns's hotel
because we would like to freeze out
those who are known as the "soup
fends. They ordera plate of soup, and,
not content with the allowance of bread
and butter usually accompanying such
an order ask for more Sometimes this
order is repeated twice and three times
50 that when we come to reckon up the
profits Of the day we find that we are not
iafrequently out from ten to fifteen cents
oa soap orders. This is the reason we
have raised the price Ct soup from fifteen
to twenty cents per plate. The same
difficulty has prevailed in other hotels,
and | am pleased to learn that the pro-
prietors, like ourselves, have made a
notable advance IL the price 1t is the
only way to hope for anything like a
proi0hle business with these people. y
