President, Cleveland did veto some
private pension bills, that is true, bur,
inasmuch as he approved more pen
sion bills than any other president be-
fore or since, there is a powerful
presumption in, favor of the correct
ness of his vetoes. He approved near
ly two hundred more pension bills dur
ing his term of Office than President
Harrison during his term. Bay CITY
Press. The reasof, of this is plain
enough. At the last session OF. Con
gress, the democrats set apart Friday
evening of each week for the passage
of pension bills; but there never wal
a quorum although the democrats had
over $50 majority. and the last genera
pension bill passed by republican,
caused a less number of private pen
sion bills to be presented.

A word TO our outside cotempora-
ries, as it regards the American tin
plate works at Elwood: Two hundred
or more employees are here at work and
more viii soon be added. SO that by
early autump $50 or 400 hands will be
engaged. The output Of the works is
more than !, 300 boxes Of first class tin
plate a week. The works are planned
on large scale and soon will be run
up to their full capacity. and will then
give employment to from 500 to 1000
men. Large shipments of tin plate
are made every week; the goods are
eagerly sought after by dealers. Tin
plate is made in Elwood, and their fac
tory will soon have the capacity of the
largest In the country. Here in this
heart of the natural gas region is the
place to make tin. The American tir
plate works are here to stay. -EItoooc

Only last Saturday The Press pub
lished the remarkable comment of the
London Financial Nes0S on the report
of the Senate Finance subcommittee
on Mckinley wages and Mckinley
prices, showing that wages were 0.75
per cent. higher and prices 0.64 per
cent. lower than before the McKin.
ley law was passed. That comment
was that "if the conclusions of the
sub ub-committee are really borne out by
the improved conditions of the people"
and they are so borne out according
to Free Traders David A. Wells and
Edward Atkinson--''tbe Americans
will undoubtedly be atle henceforth
to put forward a substantial justifica-
ton for their protective policy. We
might, perhaps, go further, and say
that free traders, all the world over,
will be strongly inclined to reconsider
their position.
