n'KlNLEYS PROMISES.

His Tin Plate Predictions Not ,Fulfllled-a
Census OF the ln.ants-Suu Mare Prom
ises.
In his speech before the republican
stltc convention of Ohio candidate Nc
Kinley had something to say about the
tin plate infant, which was in quite
different vein from his confident prom
ises and predictions last year. In his
convention speech he said; when
you take them TO the factory and show
them that we are making tin plate they
assert with intense pleasure that we
are only making "a little That is true'
but how much more should we be max
ing? That we are making any is the
surprise, for the protective duty on tin
has not yet gone into effect and will
not until the first of july"
This is not the way Mckinley talked
last year. When he was engaged In
constructing his tariff bill large dele
CATION of fruit and vegetable Gamers
appeared before the ways and means
committee to protest against the tin
plate duty Mckinley and his follow
ers were then full of promises OF what
was soon 10 be done. Those promises
were thus stated by Hon, T. L. Bunt-
ing in a recent address before the ma.
tional Gamers association! "The chair
man of the committee ventufed the as
sertion that before the law went into
effect. July t, 1891, American plate
could be bought cheaper than the for
eign plate was then selling, and that in
the interim the consumers of plate
could buy the foreign article as cheaply
as ever Mr.. Bayne, of Pennsylvania,
a member of the committee, pro-
fessed himself entirely willing TO
take orders for future delivery
on that basis Mr. Payne, of New
Jersey, lost his temper in an
effort to show that within thirty days
after the passage of the bill forty fac
tories on a basis of millions each in
Capitalization would be undermining
the Welshman at his favorite pursuit of
making tin plate. The prediction OF
Senator Allison that thirty reputable
firms engaged IN the iron industry
would; within thirty days. put UP tin!
ming stacks and manufacture tin plate
was flung at us for our composure.
And how have those promises been
fulfilled?
The New York Metal Worker, a pro-
lection journal friendly to the tin plate
tariff, has recently undertaken a census
of the tin ''infants" born and unborn,
and the count showed only four con-
Germs now making plates and four more
which will begin soon.
The Baltimore Gamers Journal
(trade) has to make this confession, af'
ter saying that we have four mills max
ing plates;
1T will be noted that of the Ameri'
can mills mentioned three of them are
very extensive users of tin plate, and it
may be some time before they will be
able to produce surplus above their
own needs, hence will have none to
throw on the market"
Thus, instead of tin, we have prom
ise, promises! The latest promiser is
Secretary Britton, of the tin plate as
sociation 'Give us time" he says,
"and we will make good these prom
ises. In year from July we will be
producing all the tin plate the United
States can use."

RAILWAY REFLECTIONS.

AMERICAN railroads employ 5000. 900
persons
There are in the United States soo,'
p49, 70 miles Of railroad track Of all de-
scriptions.
THERE are ten main lines Of railway
centering in London. Of these 2,91O
suburban trains run in and out daily,
while the main line trains are only
about 40. In 1880 the ten lines carried
100000, 900 suburban passengers.
THE Trans-African railroad has been
completed from L,oanda to Ambaca, 100
miias in the interior. 1t is the only
RAILROAD in operation in equatorial
Africa. 1t has been built by native
workmen and daily trains are run over
the line.
BELGIAN railway officials, after three
years of investigation report that under
ordinary circumstances the average
railway train in passing over one mile Of
track wears from it two and onc-ffth
pounds. This natural destruction Of
track amounts for the whole world to
about 1880, 900 pounds daily.
