that almost any competent and honest Dem
ocrat nominated for President in 1892 can be
elected, unless the situation changes very

didate, would be to throw the election into
the House of Representatives, in which event
Democrat would certainly be chosen. Mr..
Carlisle thinks Mr.. Cleveland's letter in OPP
position to the free coinage of silver, while it
has stirred up feeling against him in some
quarters has increased his popularity in 9TH
ers. at would" says Mr.. Carlisle, "be ex-
ceedingly bad policy 10 permit the silver
question to become the paramount one in the
campaign of 1899. 1t is question upon
which there are honest differences of opinion
in the party, while there are other questions
of equal or greater importance upon which
we are thoroughly united, and I think we
had better concentrate our strength instead
of dividing it," Mr.. Carlisle predicts the re-
nomination of President Harrison by the Re
publicans.

How County Roads Were Improved In
New Jersey.

Road reform has been successfully agitated
In Union county, N. j., according to pamph-
let issued by Charles G. Mcbride, of the road
Improvement committee of that county.
The movement for changein Union coun.
ty began three or four years ago. At that
time the roads were very much what they
are in most parts of Maryland-wretchedi in
bad weather, and often almost impossible
The System" Of repairs there, as here, was
really no system, consisting in annually
shoveling gutter dirt into the middle of the
highway" only to be washed back again into
the bitches at the side or kneaded in rainy
weather into quagmire. The first effective
agitation was commenced by the newspapers.
Public interest in the matter was finally
aroused, and early in January, 1889, number
of public-spirited citizens of the county or
ganized to push the proposed reforms:
Bonds to the amount of 100000 were is
sued and direct tax of $25, 900 levied Forty
miles of Telford and Macadam roads were
built in the best manner. AS a result pro-
perry has appreciated in value far more than
the cost OF ROADS and there has been no in
crease in the tax rate.
The Baltimore Sun commenting on the
statement above says:
What has been done in Union county Is
much more than would be needed In many of
the counties of Maryland, but similar results
would follow intelligent and earnest effort on
the part of our people. AS the San has fire.
auently urged, the subject is one of great
practical importance to the farmers and fruit
growers especially-a matter of dollars and
cents in the transportation Of their produce,
to saw nothing of the increased comfort and
convenience good roads would mean for the
general public. Agitation of the subject In
every county would result In the proper leg
islation, and the cost of permanent improve
nent would undoubtedly be met by an en-
hancement of values such as followed the
work described In New Jersey.

The Tariff ON Tin.

The tariff of 90 cents pound on tin
plate went into effect at midnight on Tues
day. The dealers in this article, not willing
to wait for supply of American manufsc-
ture have imported large quantity, under the
old tariff sufficient, 1t is believed, to supply
the demand for some time. 1t is not like
ly, however, that they will be willing to sell
it at the old price, being in position to add
the additional tariff charges which would be
exacted if the plate were imported now.
Every one will rejoice if tin plate can be pro-
duced as cheaply here as abroad, but we
must say that all the stories with relation to
1t have mythical sound
The Philadelphia Times says
This increase of 100 per cent 10 the tax on
tin plate is one of the most wanton and op-
pressive of all the many needless and exacting
increased taxes of the new tariff. 1t falls
heavily upon thousands of tin workers in this
city whose raw materials are thus largely in
creased in cost; it falls heavily upon the
countless small farmers who can their fruits
and vegetables for the market; 1t falls heavily
upon the thousands engaged in the canning
of oysters, ETC.; 1t falls heavily upon all con-
sumers of tin, which means increased tax
upon every tin roof, upon every kitchen, and
upon every dinner pail in the land, and il ben
efits only spectators and monopollsts. The
Standard Oil Company gets its vast quantity
of tin for oil cans free, as tin plate bought for
export of our products commands refunding
of the tariff taxes but the masses of the peo-
pie, who are all consumers Of tin, must pay
the full measure of the increased taxes.
The pretext on which this speculation of
monopolists and robbery of consumers is JUS
titled or excused Is that 1t will build up the
tin-producing industry in this country and
give largely-increased employment to our
workingmen. That this is entirely fallacious
is evidenced from the facts that we have not
yet produced any American tin from Ameri-
can materials and American labor, and that
the manufacturers of the steel sheets, which are
the basis OF tin plate, frankly confess that they
cannot produce the sheets for American tin,
even with 100 per cent increased tariff taxes,
without reducing the wages of the labor en-
ployed in the steel works. Wehave produc-
ed some American tin plate made from i'm
ported steel sheets, imported tin pig and i'm
ported tin laborers, but the theory of making
it an American industry is not only an utter
failure, but the inevitable failure was well
known to all experienced tin dealers before
this monstrous tax was imposed upon the peo-
pie to enrich spectators and monopolists.
There is no actual American tin industry to-
day there will be none hereafter, and when
the lobbers and tax-eaters shall have made
all out Of it that can be eXtorted from the
people, tin plate will be put on the free list
for the obvious reason that sixty-fve millions
should not be taxed 10 enrich few hundreds
Of speculative vampires.
