home could be manufactured here
to the decided advantage of the country
taken as whole. Now if these promis
esare not made good. if plate mills do no1
start up and produce the necessary goods
and that right speedily, this part of the
tariff law is almost certain to be repeal
ed by the next congress which was elect
ed on the issue of the tariff, in which
the "tin cup" cut quite a prominent
figure. 1t is not reasonable to suppose
that the people will consent to continue
bearing the burden Of increased prices
for tin goods, which enter so largely into
household economies. and effect them
in thousand ways, without some COM
pensation. This compensation must be
afforded or the tariff will speedily be re-
moved. This will not apply to the in
crease provided by the new schedule
alone, but will extend TO the entire duty.
Such state of affairs would not only
affect the tin industries, but would ex-
tend to many others. as galvanized iron,
for instance. More than that. it would
reach further and raise decided free
trade sentiment among the people, who
are already too much inclined in this
direction. In demanding increased pro-
lection, the tin plate men assumed a
large responsibility, and are now called
upon to make good their promises.
Some firms are already being equipped
for the new enterprise, but it is yet too
early to confidently predict the extent
to which they prove successful. 1t is
the plain duty of these men TO 90 for
ward with all possible speed and pro-
duce, and that at moderate prices, all the
tin plate We may require. 1t is also the
duty of all who believe in the principle
of protection for American Industries,
and who reap q benefit therefrom to
lend them helping hand, not morally
alone, but to the extent of investing or
advancing money. if that be called for.
In word, not only is the scheme for
the home manufacture OF tin plate on
trial before the people, but the whole
protective system has been to a certain
extent involved. The plan of making
our own plates at prices satisfactory to
the people must be made successful, or
the resulting effects will be more far
reaching than the advocates and frame RS
OF the bill thought possible. Chicago

A Monaco to Protection.

The Chicago Journal Of Commerce is
not croaker, nor an alarmist to cry
"wolf" but we wish to call attention to
condition of affairs which promises
under certain conditions to work lasting
injury to the protective tariff system,
and through it to the commercial pros
perity of the country at large. We re-
fer to the tin plate industry.
When the Mckinley bill VI pend.

before the committee and made known
their wants. There already wa4R duty

Rapid City Invention.

A short time ago the Brush Electric
Light company, after considerable troub-
10 and litigation, obtained letters patent
on q double electric lamp; that is q
lamp which Will burn. without recarbon-
izing, twice the length Of time that the
first made would. DR.. McGillycuddy
of this city, has in the last few years
made electric lighting study, and has. il
seems, by a device so simple that II
seems incredible it was not thought OF
long ago, accomplished with some
thought and no expense worth mention
ing. what electrical experts have beer
working on for some time. The doctor
invention is simply the binding togethe
of two sticks of carbon, the end Of on
being allowed to hang fraction Of Al
| inch lower than the other. In a FEY
moments by putting in this duplex car
bon q single can be changed into
double lamp which will burn fftee
hours without attention. The I'm

yention was made ct hotel Harvey FIR
day night and was success. He III
not yet applied for patent but stat

Men who have been intimately ac-
quainted with Senator Kyle for years,
denounce in the most emphatic manner,
SAYS the Yankton Press, the published
reports that he has been party to any
understanding with the democrats. He
has been lifelong republican, and
whatever work he has done to assist
the independents in the northern part
ofthe state, was for the purpose of cur
ing local evils. Mr.. Kyle has not for
saken principle for the purpose of be-
coming senator. This is the testimony
of men vino have shared the private
thoughts Of the new senator for years
and know something of the material ht

many cases been destroyed. and every means
Of livelihood thus been taken away. The com.

The people OF our country. perhaps, do not
realize that Japan Is comparatively poor

sources for giving relief are not adequate. Il

Practice Of the Court or Appeals -Aias.<a.s
Administration.
WASHINGTON. Dee. 1.-THE annual
report of Attorney General Miller was
submitted to congress Thursday 1t
reviews the business OF the United
States supreme court and devotes q
chapter to circuit court Of appeals which
he says has been organized in each
circuit and is ready for business,
although the additional Judge in each
district has not been appointed. II was
found that the court could be organ
lied and such business as might be Of
fered could be transacted without such
judges. and their appointment was,
therefore. delayed until such appoint
ments could be acted upon by the senate.
After speaking Of the well-known
difficulties in the enforcement of the
Chinese exclusion act he says: II it is
desired that these laws shall be made
effective, they should be SO changed as
that they cannot lie misunderstood. To
arrest and try such persons and, as the
result simply send them back across
the British line, is shown to be
an idle expenditure of time. labor and
money by the fact that, as might well
be expected, the same persons have to
be arrested and tried over and over
again. This subject, he said, demanded
prompt consideration.
From information, official and un-
official. in regard to the administration
of the laws of Alaska. the attorney
general is impressed that such admin
istration is not satisfactory. and that
it can only be male satisfactory by
new legislation.
The attorney general also reviews the
legal proceedings on the case of the
Chilian steamer Itata.
