information worth Having.

The members of the free-trade syudi-
cate of falsehood are attempting to
make the American public believe that
the manufacture of tin plate In this
country is not likely to be seriously un-
dertaken; that nothing has been done or
can be done toward making tin except
I'm small way, and that the tin tariff
has been more than doubled without
creating any possibility that tin indus
try will ever flourish mere. The tin
tariff has not yet gone into operation,
but the scoffers ask, "Where are your
tin-plate factories?" and they say in
effect, Commence Immediately to turn
out tin enough to supply the demand of
the United States or repeal the tin
tariff" They cannot wait minute for
the establishment of tin factories here
on q scale as extensive as that of Wales,
where the industry is the growth of
centuries.
In the meantime here is something on
the other side-not from Mckinley
sources, but from official British sources.
The London Financial Times, which
will not be disputed as authority, refers
to report of the distinguished British
Consul at Chicago (also pretty good au-
thority), as follows
"a recent report from Mr.. Hayes Sad
Ter, the British Consul at Chicago, con-
tains some observations on tin and tin
mining which will be read with interest,
in view of the new duties which are to
be levied next month on tin plates i'm
ported into the United States Accord
ing to our Consul, tin plate manufactur-
ing will soon rank among the varied
industries of Chicago Sheets have
been timed, and retinning has been
practiced in the States for some years
past, but hitherto the sheets have been
imported, and the labor employed, If not
imported, has been of a foreign origin.
But this state of affairs, 1T appears, is
not to last much longer.
This is a well-studied and accurate
statement of fact, given to the British
| manufacturers for their information ON
| a subject Of the highest BUSINESS im-
portanee to them. 1t is something more
than free traders partisan fabrication.

IN THE EAST.

ACTING SECRETARY NETTLEToN, of the
treasury, is of the opinion that the laws
affecting Chinese immigration will not
prevent Cinnamon from accepting the
governments invitation to visit the
worlds fair.
DEATH held rampant sway in all it's
forms in New York City during the hot
spell. There were 1876 deaths in that
city Tuesday and 121 Monday, accord
ing to the official report to Register
Nagle, of the board of health. OF the
l56 lives that went out Tuesday seventy
were of children under years Of age
The little lights are easiest extinguished.
In Brooklyn the mortality was also very
much increased. A considerable num-
Der of the deaths resulted directly from
the effects of the heat.
1T is stated at the bureau of engray-
ing and printing that work on the plates
for the new 80 certificates, which will
bear the yignette of the late Secretary
Window, Is still in progress and that as
soon as the plates are completed the
new certificates will be issued. 1t is
also stated that, owing to the great de-
mand from banks in the west and south
1 fer oil and ~ bills, to be used in moving
the crops, and the inability of the bu-
reau to complete the plates for the new
certificates In time, the bureau is, by di-
rection of the treasury department,
printing supply of ~ certificates from
the plates bearing the vignette of the
late Gen. Hancock to meet this demand
The printing Of bills from the Hancock
plates was discontinued some months

The grasshoppers are doing more
damage In partssof Ohio just now than

many parts of the country they swarm

vOuring the pasture to such an extent
as to render the feed OF stock serious

tit is long since the farmers OF the
United States had q more pleasant pros
pect opening to their eyes, and protec-
ton Is the magician that has spread the
enchanting scene. AS Senator Paddock
says, sAll the world is wanting to buy
grain, and we are the only people who
have 1T to sell.
Has protection created this condition?
Letsus SEQ. Ofcourse, the large harvest
that seems imminent might have come
TO pass under free trade administra-
tion as well as under protective policy;
but large crop without a large market
for it is but a minor blessing. Let us
consider the effect Of protection upon
markets.
l. 1t has created a home market
which consumes about nine-te this of all
home farm products.
2. by It's adoption in the German em-
pire 1t has caused that country, which
exported grain while 1t was under free
trade, to become an Importer of grain
now that protection has multiplied Its
factories and drawn labor from it's farms.
Thus there is now q larger demand for
American grain In England In exact
proportion to the amount OF grain which
Germany now consumes at home In
stead of selling in Liverpool There
also is new market in Germany for
American grain; this, however, is cur
tailed by the protective duty which the
empire levies on grain. But the demand
for the repeal of the duty on grain and
meat is growing hot in Germany, and
the United States, by reason of the re-
ciprocity clause of the Mckinley bill, is
able to offer to the empire solution of
it's grain and food question which will
not involve departure from its fixed,
and hitherto successful, policy of pro-
lection. The United States is in posi-
ton to offer q continuance Of free inn
portation of German beet sugar in
return for free, or low dutied, admis-
sion of American grain and meat to the
empire.
Nothing can be palmer than that If
this country had "a free trade policy it
would have nothing to offer to Germany
as compensation for the empires repeal
or modift alton of its grain and meat
tariffs. Protection in Germany has cre-
ated demand for American grain
Protection in America has armed the
Republic with weapon which may open
free or at any rate an easy passage for
American grain to Germany.
!. ProGectlOn, Dy 1bS RECIPROCITY clause,
has opened Brazil to a free importation
of American farm products 1t has
made an enlarged expectation of Ameri-
can farm products to Cuba certainty
Nature is helping the American prin-
ciple of protection to bless the farmers
of the Republic, for close on the heels of
the news of a demand for American
grain in Germany comes news Of short
crop of Indian wheat. Ali the world
wants grain, and America has lots of it
to sell. The, farmers are happy, and
they have to thank protection for a
large share Of their happiness. Chicago

THERE promises to be considerable
trouble when the government begins to

II, 100000 acres that the Sioux relin-

Dakota Crop I,eport.

THE crop bulletin for South Dakota
for the past week issued by the weather
bureau says: THE temperature during
the fore part of the week was below,
while the latter part it was above the
average. The rain was in local showers,
and in some localities attended by de-
structive hail. The absence of general
rains, the abundance of sunshine and
the warm weather have combined to
produce the most favorable harvest
weather for South Dakota. Corn has
made marked improvement, but in some
counties now needs rain, as also late
potatoes and millet. The harvesting of
small grain is nearly completed except
in the northern counties, and consider
able thrashfng of barley and oats has
been done in the southern counties.
Grass crops would be benefited by rain,
and in few localities stand in need of
it. Destructive hailstormS are reported
from portions of Miner and McCook
counties. The excessive heat of the
past few days seems to have worked no
harm to small grain and has helped
corn"

Under the heading, sour Farmer
Fathers the Tribune, Minneapolis,

and laborers politically in arms against
alleged oppression and hard times, we
naturally turn to- view the conditions OF.
the good old times when everybody
was prosperous and contented.
aThe farmer of the day makes two
special complaints high prices for what
he buys and low prices for what he sells.
How was 1t with our farmer fathers?
aTake the staple dry goods article
calico In 1890 Ii cost 5S cents b yard;
In 1880, 20 cents; In 1860, IL cents; In
1901, s cents.
sTake the staple grocery article
sugar. In 1890 1t cost 1s59 cents for
cheap, brown grades; 1880, is cents; in
1860, 10 cents; In 1891, ~ cents for

staple dairy product, butter. The prices
In Massachusetts are as follows: In $780,
Ill cents; In 1880, LIZ cents; in 1860, 26l

attired in cotton jeans and shirtings'
that cost so cents yard, slept on ticks

How knights of Labor Consider IL.

THE District Assembly No. SO, knights
of Labor, Denver, which took in all the
employees Of the Union Pacific railway
system, has taken action regarding the
Nebraska eight hour law, which is at
present causing trouble in Omaha and
other cities. The following telegram
has been sent to Omaha, Grand Island
and>North Platte: "Section Is OF the
agreement is a contract for working
time still In force made prior to the
eight hour law, which under the consti-
tuition it cannot abrogate. The law is
thus in operation on the Union Pacific
shop employees because OF contract. In
honor we are bound to recognize the
contract, unfortunate, as it appears,
until it be modified to the parties to it.
Good faith as an organization should be
considered In this matter.

Around the State.
SOME of the larger employing firms in
Nebraska question the constitutionality
of the eight hour law, and a movement
is now on foot to have it tested at the
earliest possible date. A fund will be
subscribed and case will be taken to
the supreme court. Their doubts are
caused by this fact: On the old statute
books there is a law which provides that
ten hours shall constitute a days labor,
but the new law is without repeating
clause. 1t is claimed that the two laws
being in the shape they are leaves the
state without any labor law: Another
point raised Is that the new law is class
legislation and that it is invalid. 1t pro-
vides for town and city workmen, me-
chanics and artisans, but farm employees
and domestics are compelled to work
for as many hours as their employers

Joe Fisher, John Ryan and Sam At
kiuson with Sheriff Kelley's two sons,
who are out fishing in the Platte have
been heard from. Yesterday they ex-
pressed to Cheyenne a large box con-
tanning about 100 pounds OF spoon bill
sturgeon which were presented to their
friends. A number of peculiarly ad-
dressed postal cards we're received by their
friends telling each one to call at Tom
Heaney's and get a fish, with the compli,
ments Of the crowd. The spoon bill
sturgeon isn't exactly a thing of beauty
and his appearance has created a wide,

ing from a trip west, which included Salt
Lake. He says the excitement over La
Plata mining district near Ogden is some.
thing extraordinary. On the day he
spent in the latter town 2lS teams we're
loaded up for the mines. He was very
greatly Impressed by the Rock Springs
mines, which he visited for the first time,
and speaks with a good deal of enthusiasm
of the fine machinery and the clever me-
chanleal methods in vogue for rapidly
handling coal. There will be an enor-
nous output from the mines this year and
Rock Springs is consequently booming.
