This was too much for Tammany. To
BEE beautiful little souvenirs of this
kind bearing protection sentiments going
into the families of Democratic New
York would not do. So q consultation
was held in the secret chambers of Tam
many, and blue coated policemen were
detailed to stand guard at the schools
and prevent the distribution of the
plates. Of course they carried out their
orders, and when the eager children
next day looked anxiously for the dis
tributers they found them not. They
had been informed that they would be
arrested II they continued their distribu-
ton.
But it will not stop here. Under re-
publican administration Of the United
States government the mails are open
to all who want to use them, whether
Democrat or Republican, black or
white, old or young, of American or
foreign birth. And one of the pretty
little tin plates, which is accurately
represented in the cut, can be sent
with safety by mail. And the children
and grown people, too-of the city
and the whole United States are smart
enough to know that. They can outwit
Tammany Hall and Chairman Harrity
and Mr.. Cleveland and all the Demo
cratic machine by sending two cent
stamp to Wilbur f. Wakeman, Protect

ing for one of those cute little tin plates
to be sent by mail. And they will get

European Brides.

Nothing has proven more conclusively
the great advantage which our reci-
procity treaty gives the United States
over the European countries than the
development of the scheme on the part
of Germany to induce South American
governments to break off their reci-
procity treaties with the United States
The evidence seems to be beyond ques.
tion that an offer was sent from Ger.
many to President Heureux, of San
Domingo, proposing to pay him $50, ,00(
o year if he would break off the reci
procity treaty with the United States
President Heureux, it seems, sent spe
cial envoy to the United States to see il
this country would make higher bid
Secretary Foster replied promptly thai
"The United States is neither to bt
blackmailed or bullied. If your coun
try breaks the treaty it must be prepared
to bear all the consequences, for in my
mind the word reciprocity is associated
with retaliation

THE BLOOMING JAY"
THE PANIC AN AMERICAN TIN PLATE
CREATED IN NEW YORK SCHOOLS.

How an Innocent Campaign Souvenir
was Suppressed" by Tammany-How
Children and Grown People Can Out
wit Tammany, Harrity and Grover.
The Democrats are evidently afraid Of
the tin plate argument. They know that
under the Mckinley law the manufac-
ture of tin plate in this country has not
only become practicable, but many mil
lions of dollars have been invested in it,
forty or fifty establishments for its
manufacture opened, and thousands Of
workmen given employment at good
prices. So they see that the feature
Of the Mckinley law, which they most
strongly denounced, is already proved
a blessing. But they want to conceal
that fact and prevent people talking
or thinking about it, or about the benefit
which protection brings. And they have
decided to use the official machinery Of
Tammany in NewYork city to prevent it.
This was the way it came about: The
Protective Tariff league, through its sec
retary, Mr.. Wilbur F. Wakeman, de-
cided to bring the tariff question, and
particularly the tin plate feature of it.,
to the attention of the families Of New
York by distributing to the school chill
dren as they came from the schools
daily some cute little tin plates, made
of American tin, which bear q suitable
legend and are q matter of interest to
everybody. SO they sent men to the
school buildings to distribute them free
Of cost rs the children trooped out at the
end of the day. The children went wild
over it. Every one wanted one Of the
pretty, shining toys for himself or her
self, and one or two for the sister or
brother at home. The result was that
hundreds of thousands of the bright,
handsome little plates were going into
the families Of the city, and carrying
upon them this legend:

says of the present system of national
currency: "It Is readily conceded that
the currency has been uniform; that the
losses from discounts and exchanges have
been light; that the system was of great
assistance in the struggle for the Union;
that depositors have lost little and that
note holders have lost nothing" This
seems to be n sum cient argum ent against
