How the Tin Industry is Growing.

1t would not be worth while to say
much about the tin industry of this
country, except for the fact that Demo-
cratic papers are constantly making the
statement that tin can't be made in the
United States for general use. The
Democratic leaders were opposed to the
duty on tin plate, and ever since the
Mckinley bill passed they have con-
tinued their attack on the tin industry
annually sent to England $24 GOO, 900 for
tin plate, and if this vast amount can be
saved why not save it? Let us see how
this TIN plate industry is getting along
under the influence Of the new tariff
law. Here are some items:
Somers Bros, Of Brooklyn, are getting
ahead with their new tin plate factory.
The plant Will have six mills and three cold
rolls, supplied by the A. Garrison Foun-
dry Company, and five timing stacks.
Capacity, 5000 boxes per week. Capital
TIE \. d G.. TAYLOR Company, of Phlla-
delphia, which has been operating as tin
plate factory, has completed arrangements
for the erection of a factory In that city,
which, when completed, will be the larg-
est establishment of its kind in the United
States. The factory will have capacity
of tWenty-fOur stacks, with complete
picking department attached. AS each
stack Will turn out about fifty boxes Of tin
day, it will thus be seen that there will
be a daily capacity of 1,200 boxes. The
company will be able to begin operations
with twelve stacks, capable of an output
of 600 boxes a day, by the beginning OF
April. When completed the new industry
Will give employment to $50 men.
1t is reliably stated that the MeSsrs.
Niedringhaus, of st. LOUIS, have purchased
1900 acres of land IN Illinois nearly OppO-
site ST. Louis, upon which it is proposed
to establish new industrial town, the
chief industry of which will be the manu-
facture Of tin plate and the utilization of
the plates manufactured for allied branches
of manufacture. At an early day it Is pro-
posed to erect furnaces, rolling mills, etc,
sufficient to supply tin plate plant
equipped with twenty mills.
The BrittOn Iron and steel Company, OF
Cleveland, has decided to manufacture tin
plate. The plant will consist of four mills,
with capacity OF 2,0C0 boxes weekly.
These works will be in connection with,
and In measure subsidiary to, new
steel plant, the plans for which are now
being prepared III the Office of a PittSburg
engineer. This plant will have two 25-ton
open hearth furnaces and 140-inch mill
for rolling armOr plate, besides the usual
full equipment of q steel plant. The COM
pany has purchased seventy acres of land
seven mics from Cleveland, and will eX-
mend S150 600 on the works.

The Republican Vote Since 1880.

In the effort to show that in the last
three presidential campaigns it is the
party more than the leader that wins,
the Inter Ocean produces the following
figures: If we take the popular vote in
the last three campaign we find some
curious variations in figures. In 1880
California gave a small plurality against
the Republicans, and Connecticut an
equally small plurality in their favor.
In 1884 this was reversed, California be-
coming Republican by more than Il, 900
plurality, and Connecticut Democratic
by less than l 800 plurality. In 1883
California was still reliably Republican
by more than 1000 and Connecticut
Democratic by less than 500. In 1880
New York and Indiana were both Re-
publican, the former by Fl 900 plurality,
and the latter by $500 plurality in 1884
both states were Democratic, New York
by less than 200, but Indiana by about
the same plurality that it gave the Re-
publicans in 1880; but in 1888 both states
swung back into the Republican col
umn, New York by more than 1900
and Indiana by $500.
Massachusetts and Iowa, two of the
old time banner Republican states,
show almost as much variation in their
vote without, however, any change in
the complexion of the states. In 1890
Massachusetts gave 53,245 Republican
plurality and Iowa $4,000; in 1884 the
Republican plurality in Massachusetts
fell off to 2i,372 and Iowa to 10, 796; but
in 1888 Massachusetts increased her Re-
publican plurality to more than 80 900
and Iowa to 81 ,72l.
Michigan and Nebraska also varied.
In 1880 Michigan gave the Republicans
81, $50 and Nebraska "A, 456 plurality; in
1884 Michigan's plurality fell off to
3,305, and Nebraska dropped to 2,5l2;
but in 1888 both recovered much that
had been lost, Michigan giving Re-
publican plurality Of 22,9ll and Nebras-
ka u Republican plurality OF 27,S73.
Maine steadily increased her Repub-
lican plurality through the three cam
paigns and Ohio lost through all. In
1880 Maine gave Garfield plurality OF
$3.50; in 1884 Blaine 20,060, and in 1888
Harrison 81 53. In 1880 Ohio gave Gar.
field "a, 227 plurality in 1884 Blaine 81,
sol, and in 1888 Harrison 10, 500.
Pennsylvania showed some variation

Harrison and Blaine.

One of the fairest estimates of Presi-
dent Harrison and Secretary Blaine,
which has been made by any public
journal, comes from the Chicago Tri-
bune, and will be endorsed by the great
body of thinking Republicans:
If Mr.. Blaine will accept nomination
there will be no opposition to it. 1t will
come TO him unanimously. il he decides
not TO accepta nomination il VIII not at
feet the high position he now holds in the
estimation of the American people. The
presidency will add no honor to him.
lie is to-day the leader of the American
people. No man in this country can COM
mand such following. lie is the fore
most American and he will stand in his
tory as the greatest American OF his time
long after his defamerJ have been for
gotten. TO such a man the presidency
cannot add any honor.
If Mr.. Blaine should not be candidate,
and if Mr.. Harrison should receive and &C.
cept the presidential nomination he would
be cordially supported by the Republican
party. lie has steadily grown in the pub
lie estimation. Even his partisan enemies
confess that he has made no mistakes.
Ills addresses and his state papers have
received general commentator as able
and busnesslike. lie has had the courage
TO offend politicians, which is not an
offense in the eyes of the people.
lie has been patient, SteadfaSt, reticent
and industrious in conducting the public
work If he should be nominated he
would be a stronger candidate iii 1892 than
he was four years ago.
This is the situation as it stands to-day,
and it will not be affected by the silly
rumOrs and canardS constantly set afloat
by small and housing politicians.

A Fine Point I'm Ethics.

Two boys, who were rivals in city
school, had close tussle each month
to see who would lead the class and
occupy a certain seat of honor for the
next month. The teacher had not
yet evoluted from the mischievous per
cent. system Of settling the leader
ship, and SO fraction of a per cent.
held the fate Of these two boys at
each monthly examination. At the
close of one of these feverish seasons
the examination papers were handed
back TO the boys, and the one who
stood highest passed to the coveted
seat. Next day he looked unhappy
and disturbed and finally asked to
zee the teacher alone. He at once
produced the paper" and showed the
teacher her mistake in marking an
answer which, had il not been made,
would have given the victory to the
other boy. The teacher commended
his honor and generosity, but the boy
began TO sob convulsively. Don't
feel so bad" said the teacher, you
were at the head last month";" "Oh,
no, 1t is not that" with an emphatic
gesture); sit Is not that at all, ex-
planned the Inundated boy, "but l
am thinking how near / came not
telling you az ALL"
There is not in all the e Tim of
ethics finer distinction to be made
than this-not the real commission of
a wrong, but the temptation to COM
AIT it, seemed a sin in the eyes of this
sensitive boy Great Divide.

He Wrote the Play, but He Couldn't Get
Into the Theater.

The late BARLEY Campbell, the play
wright, one day found himself in a
small but "hustling" mining town
in the far West, says the New York
Telegram. He saw that play of his
that had been pirated, was to be present
ed at the theater that night. He went
to the play house and told the ticket
taker that he would like to see the
"show."
"Who are you?" asked the manager.
My name is BARLEY Campbell" was
the reply.
II don't know you," returned the
manager.
ooh, yes, you do" said Campbell. II
am BARLEY Campbell, the author of this
play, and | want to see how you are do
ing it."
"How do / know you are BARLEY
Carpbell?" surlily demanded the pirate
manager.
"Why," answered Campbell, point
ing to a horrible picture of the author
on a poster, There my portrait.
"Come off," said manager. You
can't play that with me. That portrait
amt bit like yer, and if it was we
don't let no deadheads into this show"

in favor of 1884 when Mr.. Blaine was
the leader. In 1880 Pennsylvania gave
Garfield only 81 ,276 plurality; increased
this to 81 .0l9 for Blaine In 1884, and
dropped to rs, 45S for Harrison in 1883.
Illinois and Minnesota showed a
steady decline through the three cam
paigns. Illinois gave Garfield 40,7l6
plurality, Blaine 20, I'D, and Harrison
%, 1915. Minnesota gave Garfield 40,55S
plurality; Blaine 3S,73S, and Harrison
S,106. Kansas on the other hand gave
Garfield 81, 73l plurality; Blaine 64,274,
and Harrison so, l59.
If we take the whole popular vote we
find as much variation. In the Demo-
Grated states of Alabama, Florida,
Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South
Carolina, and Texas Mr.. Blaine had a
larger popular vote than had President
Harrison, but in the Republican states
of California, Colorado, Illinois, Iowa,
Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michl-
gan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada,
New Hampshire, Ohio, Oregon, Penn
sylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and
Wisconsin President Harrison had
much larger popular vote than had
either Blaine or Garfield. This is also
true of the close states of New York,
Indiana, Connecticut, and in the Demo
cratic states of Arkansas, New Jersey,
Tennessee, Delaware, Kentucky, Mary
land, Missouri, Virginia, and West Vir-
ginia.
The figures showing the popular vote
of the Republican party in these last
three presidential campaigns are wor-
thy Of study by those who are DESTROYS
of settling the policy of the Repub-
lican party as to candidates and plat
forms for 1892. The following table

A Card TO silver Men.

What the country has to say to these
men is simply the direction spoken of
old to Judas, That thou doest, do
quickly" Let not long debate and I'M
certainty PROSTATE business throughout
the land. The prospects of trade and
industry are now exceptionally bright.
A long contest about the silver question
would almost inevitably shake conf
dence and arrest business. Play the po-
litical game quickly if it must be played.
Make the harm to business as brief and
little as possible. Send the bill to the
Senate in single day; what is the use
of congressional debate about it? The
Senate ought to he able to act on a
question exhaustively discussed last
year and then decided, without delay or
talk. If the bill goes to the President at
all he will not take weeks or even days
to take up his mind what to do,
Congress may be sure. The Republic
can party is exceedingly willing to meet
this issue before the people. All it has
to ask is that the industries and trade of
the country shall be harmed as little as
possible while the question is pending
In Congress. After that the Democrats
will SEQ how wise they have been.-Ne,O

A man who yearns for second term so
nightly as TO be willing, as Mr.. Cleveland
was, to accept denomination at the ex-
pense of disqualification may be said to
be ''clean gone" on the presidency; presi-
dental bees Us numerous as the sands up
on the shore are buzzing in and about his
bonnet. Nor is there any reason for be-
lieving that the presidcncy's attitude to-
ward Mr.. Cleveland or Mr.. Cleveland's at
titude toward the presidency has changed
since 1883. It didn't want him then; it
doesn't want HIM now. lie did want il
then, and Barkis is still good deal more
than ''willin'." ''He after one election and
two nominations covets not it," asserts
the Eagle. But 1t is evident, even to the
most casual observer, that the one election
and two nominations have simply served
to sharpen and deepen his appetite for the
presidency. 1t is with ofiice-seekers as
with ofiice-holders few die, none resign
and no one ''coyets not it,, and Mr.. Cleye-
land is no execution To the rule

imposed to Have Been Pecked from a
River Bed I'm Nebraska.

A few days ago G. Jacobson, at Hast
ings, Neb., received word from firm in
Butte City that one of its customers, a
Mrs. White, had found three rough
diamonds in the craw Of chicken sold
by them few DAYS before Christmas.
Mr.. Jacobson is large poultry shipper,
and supplies his hennery with gravel
miles south of this city. The curiosity
of several miners in Butte City was
aroused by the discovery, and Jacob
son has received many letters inquiring
as to where he secured the sand. Mrs.
w hte submitted the three rough stones
to n ieweler in Butte for inspection, and
he pronounced them diamonds and
offered her good price for them, but
she refused and has sent them East to
be cut.
