CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. 16.-The final pro-
gran1me Tor the dedication of the
Worlds Fair buildings was settled to-
day, and it is now definite fact that
W. c. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, will

some hostility to Mr.. Breckenridge, on
account of his attitude on the Worlds
Fair appropriation, but this has been
smoothed over. The next most impor-
tant act of the committee was the sub
stitution of Cardinal Gibbons for Arch
bishop Ireland to deliver the closing
prayer. The Archbishop is to appear
on another programme the same day.

NnRIrFFING. PLEASE.

10 is a blow straight from a well-de-
veloped shoulder which the Natio ma
Prorjsioltcr deals the phantom tin-plate
industry Of the United States, in its
latest issue. The Investigations Of the
PlOrtsiJRCr on this subject have been
exhaustive enough 10 command the at
tention Of the press and the public of
the entire country. OF the blathering
Of the political tiu-plate manufacturers
it says:
The capacity Of their mills is heralded all
over this country, but the actual output is
not mentioned. None Of these journals
who announce so loudly that millions OF
capital are invested I'm the tin-plate in
dusry in the United States to-day will
dare 70 say, as a matter OF conviction, that
there is one establishment which can, in
Justice 20 itself, turn out enough bright tin
plates 10 supply enc Cahnerv OF moderate
size. Let us Se true ana honest. No
"bUiilug,n please. We know pretty well
the present state Of the experiment II the
United States.
The concern which is most advanced, in
our opinion, is the United States Iron and
T.uplate Company of Demmler, Pennsyl-
vania They have been making tinplates
of the heavier gauge for more than fifteen
or twenty years. A concern in Cleveland,
more addicted 20 making noise and SANDER
than 20 truth, writes that they can make
loo boxes a day. The NGtionul PrOUiSiDHer
viii nay 81 600 20 the poor Of the city Of
Cleveland. Ohio, If said concern does turn
oUt only half that quantity per day at
present for commercial purposes, rolling
its own sheets, rolling its own black plates
and can prove its so doing bona hde.
The Proriyi0per adds, and this will be
of particular interest to those who i'm
agiue that the sheet iron mills of the
country receive any benefit from the
tin-plate tariff:
No sensible man can deny that black
plates are being made in this country, nor
Will any one who IS in the business and
who has had any experience dare 10 doubt
that they have been made in this country
for the last 50 or 40 years, in possibly 40 or
so different mills in different States Of the
Union What are black plates Black
plate is only sheet iron, and we DO not
question that sheet iron is being maze IN
the United States. What we do question
is that any iron Of No. - gauge, cold rolled,
picked and snnealed, is being turned out
and, oy being timed, made into tin-plates
in the United States. This is the gauge
which IS used by the canning fac
toriesl Our reason for questioning
this is not that il cannot be done That is
not the point. There are any number of
mills in this country which could make
this gauge Of iron plates in very short
time Dy merely adding TO their plants a
number Of rolls and timing pots, The
reason why they are not making 10 IS mere
IL this, that black plates az this uSe ere
worth 2 e. 20 SIC, par "a IN the Omitted

ded of l. 4Oc or 1.60c. per ID. according to the
kind Of iron) the English plates can De
brought into this country and timed
cheaper than the American black iron can
be made and timed. Consequently we
know it TO be positivefuc that nearly all
the present manufacturers and would-oe
manufacturers or tin-plates, small as their
number is, in the United States are max
ing their tin-plates from imported black
plates, which are being timed IN imported
pots, by imported WEIGH laborers.
The ProUtsioner promises in the near
future to give some positive statistics
Of the amount in black iron that has
been purchased in this country, OF the
people in the United States who are
buying it, the names of those whom the
imported timing machines have been
bought from, where the latter are being
erected. and by whom the whole bust
ness is being done" 1t adds:
Truth crushed to the earth will rise
again. and as certain as the present
would-be manufacturers Of tin-plates are
deceiving their representatives in Congress
about their manufacture of tin-plates, and
wrong by concealing the fact that they are
importing black sheets and thinning
them and making believe that
these are American sheets Eve
speak OF the lighter gauge, which are over
four-fifths of all the tin.plates used in this
country, as certain, we say, will the peo-
pie of this country wake up 10 the truth and
find out that they have been deceived, and
that they are paying from SI,0OO,OOO 10
Sl0. 600, 900 annually in excess Of what they
ought to pay fairly for commodity which,
though the growth of our canning and
packing industries and otherwise, has be-
come one of the most prominent articles in
every household in the land. When the
Judgment Of the people is being clouded by
such nonsensical statements IS this, that
the English plates are first dipped IN muri-
attic acid and then timed, and that hence
many cases of poisoning from eating canned
goods are being recorded; aud when we
hear that tAe American plates are treated
with the palm oil process only. while as
matter Of tGct, the contrary Is true, then, In
deed, the American tin-plate manufacturers
do not fight with honest weapons.
