1t is understood that the Seattle Tele-
graph has passed under the control of a
syndicate of wealthy Tacoma gentlemen
headed by Colonel Chauncey w. Griggs.
Colonel Griggs. it is understood, will be q
candidate for the United States Senate in
case the Democrats secure control of the
legislature, and the securing of the in
fuence of the Telegraph is doubtless q
move in his senatorial compaign. The
Telegraph has always been q good
newspaper, and, if it continues
under the able editorial manage
ment Of Mr.. A. V. Ryan, it will
doubtless be such in the future. 1t
will, Of course, support the en-
tire Democratic ticket and platform, anti
canal plank and all. Indeed, it is to be
presumed that it will in such matters re-
fleet the views of the Tacoma gentle
men who are backing it. It is understood
that the visit of Mr.. Snively to Tacoma,
supplemented by his stay of two hours in
this city, had some connection with the
change in the control of the telegraph.

The government report shows the pro-
duction of tin and terne plates in the
United States, for the quarter ending
June 30. 1892, to have been $500. 75l
pounds, against 5000, 225 pounds for the
quarter ending March 81. For the quar-
ter ending December 81 the production
was 1, 400, s21 pounds. The next quarter
the production was 8, 2o9, 225 pounds; and
the next quarter s,200.75i pounds. At
this ratio of increase it will not take long
to domesticate the industry and keep at
home the So, 100000 which we have been
paying to Great Britain for tin plates.
The ratio of increased production in tin
plates is much greater than it was in
steel rails when we began that industry
under similar circumstances, and now we
make more steel rails than England and
have ceased to import any.

Mr.. McGraw's Speech 1T Tacoma.
Tacoma Ledger

Candidate John II. McGraw was next intro
duced, and received an ovation. Speaking in q
clear and pleasant tone of voice, without effort
at rhetorical display. he said: "Unlike the
speakers who have preceded me, / am not an
orator. l am only plain business man, and
my time has not been devoted to the study of
oratory. l went to Olympia not asking or de-
string any thing at the hands OF the convention

accepted the nomination, and it is my duty to
avow freely and fearlessly the position occupy

this campaign. This had not expected to do
and do not intend to do tonight. / came here

campaign 1t is my purpose to come here and
talk to you on the local as well as other issues
involved in this campaign. There are other
more important matters than the canal or the
ditch, which seems to be greatly agitating the
minds OF your people, and can see no reason
why other important matters should thus be

point an enthusiastic admirer of Mr. McGraw
proposed three cheers for him, and they were

pressing his pleasure at seeing so many good
Republicans and adding the wish that they
would turn ont when he came to Tacoma again.

THE LAND OF COUNTERPART.

When was sick and lay a-bed,
had two pillows at my head,
Aud all my toys beside me lay
To keep me happy all the day.
And sometimes for an hour or 30
I watched my leaden soldiers 20,
With different uniforms and drills,
Among the bedciothes, through the hills;
And sometimes sent my ships in fleets
All up and down among the sheets;
Or brought my trees and houses out,
And planted cities all about

That sits upon the pillow-hill,
And sees before him, dale and plain,
The pleasant land OF counterpane

THE FARMER AND THE CANAL.
Will tho Wheat Raiser Vote Against .
Project to Benefit Himaelf?

The platform promulgated at Olympia il a
Democratic document, for one thing in that it
opposes everything that the Republicans pro-
pose. It Is perhaps chiefly Democratic in its at
utude upon public Improvements, all OF which
1t opposes In denouncing the Lake Washington
canal When the convention met, the city OF
Tacoma, which is Pierce county, announced q
discrimination to kill the "Seattle ditch" as 1t
10 called, and succeeding have succeeded in
alternating at least 10000 Democratic voters in
the state of Washington. The opposition to this
great public improvement among the Demo-
cratic delegates was not SO great would seem
from the vote condemning the canal and the
course OF the states congressional representa-
tivss, and was obtained only because
an opportunity was presented of striking
blow at the Republican party through its rep
resentatives in congress from this state. 1t did
not matter that the work of Senators Allen aud
Squire and Representative Wilson was for the
people of the whole state, and that the canal
being an improvement Of national and state
Importance would be as much to the benefit of
the Democratic portion of the population as it
would of the Republican portion, they must
oppose it This foolish policy will reap its
legitimate reward at the polls in November
In sadly diminished Democratic vote
A lifelong Democrat, taking Of the anti-canal
plank on Saturday, said: "a few years since
tho grain growers of the United States regarded
cereals. Today even the European buyer ad-
mits that Chicago quotations rule the world
over. And the American farmer is immensely
benefited thereby. This change in conditions
has been brought about by the building OF a
city on the shore of Lake Michigan. The up
building of that city has added value to every
pound of produce, to every head OF live stock, to
every acre of land, to every patch OF timber, to
every town lot In the states Immediately sur
rounding Illinois. The state OF Washington has
the opportunity of building greater city with

Puget sound. The connecting of Lakes Wash

building of such q city. Its construction
would furnish prosperity to thousands of
workingmen, and other thousands with
whom they would trade Its completion would
increase the value of all property in Seattle,
Tacoma and other Sound cities, and would add
also to the value of the grain fields and their
product In Eastern and Central Washington.
