mo careful observer can have failed
10 notice one distinguishing feature in
all the elections held this spring in
various parts of the country, both East
and West. That is that the Republi-
cans appear to have made decided gains
in all the large cities. This was seen
in Chicago, in Providence. in Milwau-
llce, in the Michigan town elections,
and in those nearer home in New York,
particularly in Rochester. Syracuse,
Lockport, Utica, Albany and Oswego.
Again it has just been seen in Jersey
City.
Yet it is upon the cities of the coun-
try that the Democracy absolutely de-
ponds for success in all the doubtful
States of the North this year. Unless
the cities do their full duty. the triumph
of the Democratic candidate nom
mated in Chicago otherwise assured,
will be imperiiled.
why should the Republicans in the
spring elections of 1892 gain generally
in the industrial cities of the country,
unless it is that in the discussion of the
national questions incident to thu
years baltle the revolutionary plans { +

from the party's support great body
of voters whose Democracy is I'M

Is This a Tin Plate Lie.

Congressman Scott of Illinois made
a speech in the House of Representa-
tives on the free wool bill on March
Is, in which we find the following
statement:
During the year ending June 30,
1891, there was imported over 900, 900
pounds of tin plate. This would have
cost the consumers under the old law
$4,000, 900. Under the Mckinley law
it cost 100000 being direct tax
upon the consumers of tin of S12, OOO,-
900 over and above what they would
have paid under the former law"
We print this as an example of the
many reckless assertions which are
made daily by the would-be reform
ers" of the present Congress. In 1891
we imported l,0517ll sol pounds of tin
plate, the value of import price of which
was $50, 3j5, 579.50; ON this duties were
paid TO the amount of $40, 577,li
making the price of the tin plate, duty
paid, about s47 1000, 900. So Mr. Scott
