CHRONICLE VS.. SPECIALS.

The Leader, driven from point to point,
and failing to answer whether it knows
OF a tin plate manufacturing establish
ment in the United States, now assumes
that because tin is being mined in Te-
mescal. California, that the building of
tin plate works will necessarily follow.
1t quotes from a San Francisco Chroni-
Gle special to prove what has not been
denied by the TRIBUNE, that tin ore is
being mined in California. We will also
quote a short excerpt from the Chronicle
OF quite recent date: 'There is in this
market, and offered for sale, a shipment
of American tin, consisting of POT bars
of pig tin, weighing about Sc pounds
each, which, with the quantity previously
sent to this city for exhibition, makes
about seven tons on hand. This tin
from the Temescal mines, and is
the first American tin ever offered to
commerce." The same journal gives the
further assurance that the owners of the
Temescal mines estimate that their pro-
duct of block TIN, twelve months hence,
will be at the rate of 900 tons a year. This
is what the Chronicle says, not what it's
says. Specials are not always
based upon facts. They are like the
Leader, sometimes very unreliable.
Now the facts are these: The United
imported last year over 100000
tons of tin plate. The Temescal mines
will. according to the Chronicle, in
twelve months hence produce block tin
the rate of $500 tons a year. Hardly
a drop in the bucket cven should the
mines produce that amount. Block tin
Is admitted free of duty. therefore Te-
mescal tin miners must compete with
foreign pauper labor" as republican
are wont to put it. Such being
The case it hardly stands to reason that
american tin miners will long continue
he unequal contest against foreign i'm
portations, and that the $500 tons will
gradually, according to republican teach
ng, dwindlc to nothing.

The cOncensus Of opinion among our
bankers, merchants, real estate dealers
and others is that there is "A decided i'm
proycmcnt in financial and trade condi-
tiOns in Great Falls. The feeling is that
the situation is gradually improving
throughout the country. and that is
certainly the case in this city. The
Townsite company and other dealers re-
port much inquiry for real estate and an
of sales; our merchants are do
ing a heavy business and progress and
improvement are the watchwords on
every hand. The permanent population
OF the city is being added to daily and
new, and many of them attractive,
Residences may be seen at every point of
view. 1t may be safely said that no
town in Montana is as prosperous AS
Great Falls today and her future, near
and distant, is as bright as rosy morn.

III seems strange that many republican
editors who are credited with an averag,
amount of common sense and who in
dictate in many ways the possession of
fair measure of intelligence appear t.
lose the former and to belle the pos
session of the latter as soon as they be
gin the discussion of the Mckinley tariff

intense partyism or it may be the result
of mental st~rabismus-a disease which
frequently affects the minds eye of
prejudiced writer's, but whatever may be
the true inwardness of the strange
phenomenon it is as disastrous to the
reputation of the afflicted for vcracity.
or even for "a common regard for the
truth, as it IS remarkable in its mani
!c~statiOns. For instance, some time ago
the New York Tribune published 4
statement concerning the erection Of
several tin plate manufacturing establish
mcnts and even went 50 far as, TO name
some of them. The article was so cun-
ninsly written as &c INSPIRE the con
lldcnce OF the credulous. and doubtless
many republican editors, among them
the Leaders. clipped it with gleeful de
hight and put it away among their other
sacred things to spring upon the wicked
d1mocrat who challenged proof of the
working of tin plate factories in this
country. The Leader published the
canard Monday evening.

NO MALICE IN IT..

There is no malice in an occasional
reference to the tin industry. Every
schedule of the Mckinley tariff will be
thoroughly discussed before the next
presidential election, for the great polit-
ical battle Of 1892 will be fought upon it.
The people should learn every line of the
measure which is taking two dollars out
OF their pockets while it is trying to put
one in. The tin schedule is among those
which will be most earnestly debated.
1t has many a darkey concealed in it's
corners. Each will be pulled out and
exposed before the campaign is over, and
in the operation the people will learn
that they are now taxed S1G,OOO,OOO an
nually for the benefit of a few men who
expect to be and will be fried" for "fat'
to grease the wheels of the republican
presidential candidates coach in his ride
toward the white house next year. The
knowledge of this fact irritates the aver
age republican mind and any reference
to the 'tin industry"Edoubly irritates
him.
In his little speech before the late re-
publican convention in Ohio, Senator
Sherman indicated it as one of the beati-
tudes of the party faith that the duty on
tin plate would develop tin mines in this
country. His conception is probably in
line with many other high tariff men who
profess to believe that the duty on tin
plate would cause its manufacture in this
country. The architects of the tariff, if
they were honest, did not believe that
the duty on imported plate would have
any effect upon the product of the hy-
pothetical or real tin mines il this coun-
try; consequently they imposed IA tax of
0 cents per pound upon tin ore. This
is about 20 per cent of the market price
of the article, and will add to the lost of
the tinware of the country. whether the
mines produce tin or not. But the pro-
lection anger rises when il is doubted
that tin plate works said to be springing
up all over the land are no more than
paper institutions.

EASTERN ROADS BLAMED.
Western Managers Charge Them
With Freight Manipulation.

Western Managers Charge Them
With Freight Manipulation.
CHICAGO, May 1.-THE managers of
the Western roads resumed their con-
ference this morning in regard to the
manipulation of through freight rates
at some of the junction points south of
Chicago. The principal complainants
are the Northwestern lines, which do
not reach those functions, but connect
with the Chicago east-bOund lines.
Their business is diverted to the other
routes because they cannot meet the cut
rates that prevail by way of Peoria, St.
Louis and other points, and especially
by the Indiana, Illinois q Iowa
road, which forms a convenient
link between Eastern and Western
systems. ThhiS road gets liberal di-
vision of the rate on through traffic
from both its Eastern and Western con-
nectionS, so that it can afford to use a
part of it to influence shippers to route
their freight over that line. There Is q
well grounded belief, however, that the
Eastern roads are mainly responsible
for the manipulation of these through
rates. This is evident from the fact that
the situation is no worse anywhere than
it is at st. Louis and other points not
touched by the Illinois, Indiana q Iowa,
and the further fact. which nobody
doubts, that all the Western roads are
strictly maintaining tariff rates. Taking
this view of the case the Western man
ayers concluded that they were power
less to remedy the situation without the
cooperation of the Eastern lines, and
they left the whole matter in Chairman
Midgley'S hands, to be taken up with
the Joint rate committee.

Railroad News Gathered and
Condensed From Many
Sources. ~

CHICAGO, May 15.-1t is reported on
what seems to be good authority that
the competitors of the Chicago IL
Alton road have prepared petition to
the board of rulings Of the Trunk line
and Central Traffic associations, request
ing it to either make the boy colt against
the Alton effective, or to abandon 1t al
together. The reason given for the re-
quest is that the boycott is doing the
Alton no harm, while it is really inJur-
ing the business of the other Western
roads. They call attention to the fact
that they ceased paying commissions in
Eastern territory on condition that
they would be protected, and express
the hope that if the board is pOwerless
to give them such protection 1t Will dis
continue the fight on the Alton. No
body could be found among the passen-
ger officials of the Western roads who
would admit that such petition had
been made, but of course they would be
interested in keeping the matter quiet.
A former railroad man, who is now en-
gagged in other pursuits, arrived here
to-day from the East. While in New
ork, to satisfy his own curiosity, he
took occasion to look into the Alton
boycott. He said he discovered that
those trunk lines that are most
active in the boycott are them
selves paying commission of
SIS on every emigrant ticket
sold to the Pacific coast. Furthermore,
he declared that some of the lines in the
Central Traffic association are paying as
high as 81 commissions on tickets sold
from New York to Chicago. Officials of
the Chicago & Alton claim to have the
same information from other sources.
General Passenger Agent Charlton, of
that road, has written letter to Chair
man Finley, of the Western Passenger
association. asserting that 10 less than
seven Eastern roads are paying commits
SiOnS on tickets sold over their lines
from New York to Chicago, and sarcas-
ticallv referring to the consistency of
these roads in boycotting the Alton.
