POwDERLY ON HOMESTEAD.

In the Journal of the Knights of Labor
Mr.. Terrence V. Powderly has long
letter on Carnegie and the Homestead
troubles which will hardly prove pleas
ant reading to the ill-advised Demo-
cratic editors who have exposed them
selves to ridicule by their efforts to
make political capital out of the
riots. Workingmen are not the
fools demagogic sheets like the New
York World take them for. Mr.. Powd-
erly deals stinging blow at Democra-
tic pretentions when he writes: "The
Mills bill and the Mckinley bill differ
very little in the duty on steel rails,
plates, etc. One was Democratic bill.
the other Republican. The Mckinley
bill reduced the duty on the articles
manufactured at Homestead, and Demo
cratic papers in asserting that the
trouble at that point is due TO the Nc
Kinley bill are but condemning the very
thing that they themselves advocate and
on which they base their claim to power
"a reduction of the tariff"
Here's knock down and knock out
blow from the shoulder, and in his dis
cussion of Pinkertonism Mr.. Powderly
is equally plain spoken. "If our Demo-
Gratis" he says, "who now rave about
the Pinkertons and condemn the Re-
publican party for their actions at
Homestead will lend me their ears. |

'jority has knowledge of the existence

In other words, if the Pinkerton is as
charged an enemy of American liberty.

for the continued activity of the agency,
for one Of their own members has been

The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1892-07-21

In the month of June, 1891, our i'm
ports of tin plate from Great Britain
were 63, $50 tons. Last month they were
23,550 tons. Macauley's school boy can
cipher out reduction of more than
half, not far, in fact, from two-thirds.
These are not American figures, but
British, and SO our Anglo-maniac Mug
wump citizens have no reasonable
ground for disputing them.
During the year ending June 80, 1892,
we bought 2O3,941 tons Of British ten
plate; during the year ending June 30,
1891. we bought 442, ,306 tons. Here
again the school boy will be able to tell
the free-trade editor who asks his readers
to believe that the American tin-plate
manufacture is not great enough to have
any appreciable effect upon the volume
of British exports, that during the first
year of protection to tin plate our i'm
ports Of that article fell off more than
half.
If the free trade editor squirms away
from the facts with the assertion that
the reduction proves nothing but extra
purchases in the year before the tariff
went into effect so as to have large un-
taxed stocks on hand, then compare the
figures of the last fiscal year with those
OF the twelve months ending June 80,
1889, before the Mckinley bill was
talked of, when 333,673 tons were
brought into the country. There is
still reduction of over one-third to be
accounted for.
Place the figures for the three years
side by side; 333,673, 442, ,3O6, 2O3, ,941.
II we try it by percentages, the tin i'm
ports of the fiscal year just ended were
~ per cent. of those of the preceding
year, So per cent. of those of the year
ending June 30, 1890, and 81 per cent.
Of those of the year ending June 30,
1889. Protection does protect in the
lin industry.

STEVE.

When President Cleveland assumed
office efficiency and fidelity in the dis
charge of duty were loudly proclaimed
as the tests he was to employ in retain
ing or discharging public servants, and
vacancies were to be filled solely with
reference to the fitness of the appoin-
tees. This was the theory; it was ac-
knov1edged to be beautiful one and it
tickled the Mugwumps till you could
hear them chuckle half a mile away.
Democratic theory has a reputation
for comeliness; was the practice equally
attractive? General Adlai Stevenson
on the day he took Office as first assist
ant postmaster general removed 100
fourth-class postmasters without wink
ing. There was no pretense OF -'cause." I"
Investigation of fitness or unfitness at
that rate would have been a roaring
farce, SO he dispensed with it.
But this first days performance was
as nothing to Adlai's feats when once he
got his hand in. In one county in New
York State "Gen." Stevenson removed
inside of five minutes every Republican
postmaster. SO anxious was this hench-
man of the civil service idol to get pre-
texts for keeping his axe going that the
celebrated letter of the postmaster gen.
eral in regard to offensive partisan.
ship was written. There are thousands
who remember its wording: "Am inn
patient to assist our people in securing
relief to which they are justly entitled
from partisan postmasters. Suggest
method which, If adopted, will give sub
stantial relief. / will require no more
proof of partisanship than affirmation of
a representative or Senator or affidavit
Of some person whom the representative
can affirm to be of unquestioned credi-
biIity."
This circular letter was addressed to
Democratic Senator'S and Representa-
tives asking their aid TO accomplish the
speedier removal of Republicans. The
most disgraceful scramble for office ever
known in the annals of the country
was the natural result. In the first two
years of his axmanship 1875 postmas-
ters had been displaced, but this rate of
guillotining was greatly exceeded after
ward. In "Gen." Stevenson's eager
ness to provide salaries for Dem
ocratic partisans, thousands Of care
less and hundreds Of wretchedly bad
appointments were made, and the
Congressional Record was filed with
lists of postmasters and railway mail
clerks who had criminal records.
Drunkards, keepers Of drinking sa-
looms, and gambling houses, embezzlers.
defaulters and jailbirds were among the
number, and so badly did the postal ser.
vice become demoralized by the enor-
nous influx Of incompetent men that
complaints were made from all parts OF
the country. The late Senator Plumb

Of Kansas had the clerk Of the Senate
one day read great mass of extracts
from Democratic papers protesting
against the inefficiency of the postal
and railway mail service on account of
the appointments OF "Gen." Stevenson.
The Springfield Union recalls the fact
that in October, 1888, Senator Chace Of
RHODE ISLAND in an address on the
postal service pointed out that the de-
partmental reports showed an increase
of 30 per cent. in misssent packages and
post office blunders during the first two
years of Democratic administration.
"The fault" said he, "will be shown to
be due to the condition to which the
postal service has been reduced by the
removal of old-tried and good officials,
and the appointment in their places of
persons without regard to their fitness
for the positions, but for partisan con-
siderations."
Forty-two thousand postmasters dis
placed and the entire service demoral-
lied this is Steve's record made with
out protest from Cleve. Now again the

that they should run on the same
ticket, for Steve exposes Cleve's hypoc-
risy, and is fitly recognized as the Hyde
