of public works which were to give
them labor, and by these means
brought into the world by slow de-
grees the great emancipation per-
iod. They were true originators of
the now prevailing family arrange
ment of the Aryan Christians. They
were all defendants of the slave
races, but those organized were
freedmen. They prepared the
world for this brighter age of theo-
retical freedom. They were our
true forefathers. Before them ev-
eryone who labored was q slave.
The good they accomplished is in
calcuahle. The ruling patrician
power became their deadly enc
mics.
1t is very easy, then, to under
stand that they would, by the nat
ural principle Of development, oc-
casionally produce great leaders
and grow into a political power.
That they did this is proved by
Livy, who states as early as B. G..
$50 they had become the ruling
power. They defeated the election
of Rome's aristocratic consuls,
elected their own tribunals to full
power, defeated the proud senate or
recognized etate, and for five years
ruled supreme" This was too
much for the selfish aristocratic
classes, who then, as now, refused
to recognize the brotherhood of
man and do their share Of the work,
and began struggle to dispossess
the working unions of political cit
izenship; contest that was sue
cessful, but not completely so ev-
erywhere until the days Of Nero,
when, almost exterminated by the
terrible military power that wealth,
and unsparing intellectual ability,
more terrible than war in it's un-
human selfishness, could command,
labor bowed its head, and passed
under the yoke Of Q power, down
to now, that in its materialism is
not worthy to unlatch the shoes
upon labor's feet.

Quill Pens in England.

Although the English steel pens
are as good as any in the world, the
use Of the quill pen is still extensive
throughout the British islands. Ev-
erywhere in the hotels you will see
quill pens lying ON the tables in the
public rooms, and plentiful supply
Of quilts from which others may be
be made whenever there is demand
for them. A quill pen is SO trouble
some to make, and generally so un-
satisfactory when it is made, that it
is impossible to understand why the
English should prefer them to the
admirable steel pens which are sent
from Great Britain all over the
world But the devotion to the quill
pen is SO general that there is ira
dition in the law courts that no docu-
ment would be legal if written with
anything but quill. = St. Louis

AS TO TIN PLATE.

Mr.. Jacob Scherffius, we'll known
business man of Winona, has sent to
the Republican an article describing
recent invention, by Philadelphia
mechanic, of a machine for manufac-
turing tin plate, says the Winona
Republican, which he says, ''shows one
of the good results of the Mckinley
bill and the skill of our American in
ventors." The machine is the inven-
tion of Samuel Y. Buchanan, who be-
gan to build it about year ago. He
met the usual delays which stand in
the way of inventors, one of the chief
OF which was the faulty construction
OF the metal pot, which caused much
trouble by leaking All difficulties
have at last been overcome and the
machine has been turning out terne
plate, low grade of tin plate, for
several weeks. A feature of this ma
chine is that it turns out the plate in
long roll, each piece soldered to-
gether, saving this much labor for the
timer and roofer. The machine is 80
feet long and feet wide. Black
steel sheets feet long and and 20
inches wide are taken from a pickle
which removes all rust, and fed into
one end of the machine, passing
through the different processes Of
cleaning, dipping and soldering to-
gether, coming out finally at the
other end continuous roll of plate.
The sheets are obtained from Pitts
burg, being made specially for this
machine. American sheets have to
be used, on account Of the unusual
length necessary. After being fed
into the machine, the sheets are car
ried along by rolls passing first under
two brushes, which by the use of sand
scour the top of the sheet. Further
on, two more brushes scour the under
side of the sheet. They then pass be-
tween sprays of water which give f.
nal cleaning. Three steam rolls sur
rounded by steam Jackets next come
| in contact with the plates, bringing
them to any degree of moisture de-
sired, and preparing them for coating.
The arrangements for handling the
plate after it leaves the pot or ma
chine proper are not completed.
This work is intened to be done au-
tomatically, the sheets running over
a drum, through the final rolls to the
shear, which will be made to clip
every 60 or so feet, or any desired
length, after which the lengths of
plate will be rolled up for shipment.
No boxes will be used, the intention
being to sell the tin in rolls of suit
able length. 1t is claimed that this
machine can turn out the highest
grade of plate as we'll as the lowest,
and by changing the temperature in
the metal pot and regulating the
rolls through which the plate pass af-
ter leaving the pot, any thickness Of
metal desired can be put on. The
joints are far better than can be made
by hand, and the strips are as straight
as it is possible to make them. Mr..
Schertfius, who, as practical iron
and tin worker, takes an intelligent
interest in the subject, says the
time is close at hand when, by the
use of the machine here described,
and others being brought into use,
every pound of tin required for use in
this country will be manufactured
here.

SPEAKING of the Democratic plat

SPEAKING of the Democratic plat
form Chauncey M. Depew says: "Dem-

picture has different opinion, and
each mans opinion is inserted in the
platform in some kind of a plank.
The result is composite platform,
and, like the composite photograph,
nobody can recognize anything in the
picture. The result has been the fu-
neral of great many Democratic
hopes. The corpse may march in pro-
cession, but the coroner's services

THE Democrats in their platform
denounce our protective policy as a
fraud and a robbery. The great
trouble with the Democrats is, they
cannot bring forward any proof to
substantiate this assertion. When
they bring forward any particular ar
ticle to make good their claims, STA
tistics are Immediately produced,
showing their claim to be false. The
very fact that the purchasing power
of the dollar is greater to-day than
ever before, is a sufficient proof that
the above statement in the Democrat
ic platform is simply wind.

to another term. But for a time it
appeared that he would have clear
field. Then his friends made him a
candidate. The federal Office holder
has not been in the fight. Those who
have been for Harrison, or at any rate,
a vast majority of them have been for
him because they admire his ability
and because he has made grand
president.
