Testimony Touching Tin Plate.
II is generally known that the Welsh tin
plate makers have been fattening of the peo-
ple of the United States at the rate OF about
$4,000, 600 per year. The following will show
you into what nightmare the Mckinley
bill has thrown those fat Welshmen:

"But relief may come IL the republican

tia election"
The London Tunes Champions cleveland.
have before me copy of the Statist, a
most careful, conscientious and CONSERVATIVE
London journal devoted to the interests OF
investors, bankers and business men, OF date
July 9, 1892. In IL are two long articles, ono
showing that since 1899 the foreign trade of
the United States has increased py such leaps
and bounds as were never known before; the
other showing that the same foreign trade OF
England has since 1890 been falling off at the
rate of from to 10 per cent per month, or at
the rate of $40, ,0OO,0 900 to Sl5000,00 per
month.
"But relief may come If the republican
government is over.hrown in the presiden-
tial election"
The London Times in various editorials
tries to explain this decline of trade, regard
less OF the Mckinley bill; but on July 20,
1892, 1t exclaims: Undoubtedly our inter-
ests as a trading community must make us
wish success to the democrats, who now for
the first time go to the polls rs the avoweu
champions of free trade"
Happy Over the Homestead Trouble.
The unfortunate HON estead affair and the
troubles In Wallace, Idaho, were hailed in
England with shouts of glee and clappings of
joy. because these events would help the
democrats. or the numberess editorials of
this character l shall give but one.
The National Observer, tory organ pub
lished by CLIQUE Of young aristocrats, of
date Of July 10. 1892, says:
To such as know that in America from the
crown OF the head to the sole of the foot the
state has no soundness, but only putridity

Vincent's View of the Situation.
| After the democratic convention in Chi

United States wolld soon adopt the policy OF

following forcible letter to the Times. Col
onel Vincent is the moving spirit in the Im-
perlal Federated Empire Trade league. which
lis composed of about 5000 of the leading men
OF the British empire, 500 of whom are men,
bers of the various parliaments or legislative

| Its object the return Of the British empire to

Republican Defeat, Engiand's Hope.
| The Bankers Magazine of London for

every bank in the United Kingdom have
been reduced during the past year by stag

attended the Congress of the Chambers of
Commerce IN London, June IS to July l..
This was meeting of the Chambers Of Com
| merce OF about 100 of the largest cities of the
| British empire; In fact a congress of British
merchant princes. There were sixteen sub
| jects put upon The program for discussion.
| Tie first Of these was tho Mckinley bill
under the high-sounding title Of "Recent
Commercial Legislation in the United
| States" For two and half days the mer-
| chant princes OF Great Britain debated the
| Mckinley bill, while the other fifteen su
| jocts were disposed of In a day aud half.
| That Is to say, that In the opinion of the
| merchant princes of Great Britain the Nc
| Kinley bill was thirty times as important as
any imperial subject. And upon the final
vote thirty-four Chambers of Commerce
| were in favor Of Great Britain adopting u
protective policy modelled upon the protec-
two POLICY of the United States, while forty
| seven Chambers of Commerce were opposed
thereto and In favor of continuing her free
trade policy. Just little more education
| from Uncle Sam and Britannia will become
| protective country.
What Democratic Victory Would Entail.
To conclude, it is my conviction that every
editor. business man, fnancler and states
| man in England believes most drmly that tn
| election of MIR. Cleveland in the United
| States would bring about in England gen.
| eral revival of business and an increased
| actlvity In every avenue OF English trade or
| finance. Old factories would reopen, new
factories would be built and thousands OF
places now closed to worKmen would again
be opened. This is why the careful Statist
