The Neidringhaus Tin Plate works at St LOUIS

feet wide. an annealing department $50 by 65
feet, and timing department 2jO by ca feet
The investment has already reached S4O0 200.
The factory is at present engaged upon roofing
plates for the new union depot at st. Louis. The
works are run day and night, there being three
relays of hands working eight hours each. OF
the $50 men employed only IS learned their trade
in Europe a new mill OF double the capacity
is being built.
The above item of industrial news is
from the Engineering and Mining journal,
one of the most substantial and reliable
trade papers in the country. But in face
of facts like these the New York Times,
and the other free-trade papers, continue
to assert that there is no tin-plate indus
try in the United States-that all that is
said about American tin-plate is for politi-
cal uses only.
In connection with the above keep in
mind the fact that the treasury department
statistics show that for the quarter ending
June 80 the total output of American tin
plate was 100000 pounds, as compared
with 3,0O4,0S7 pounds for the preceding
quarter. OF this aggregate, about 5000

From President Andrew JHcksOn's Mes-
sage 10 Congress, Dec. =. 1870.
"Among the numerous causes of con-
graduation, the condition of our impost
revenue deserves special mention, inasmuch
as it promises the means of eXtnguishing
the public debt sooner than was anticipat-
ed, and furnishes a strong illustration of
the practical effects of the present tariff
upon our commercial interests. The object
of the tariff is objected to by some as un-
constitutional: and it is considered by al
most all as defective in many of its parts.
The power to impose duties on imports
originally belonged to the several states.
The right to adjust those duties with a
view to the encouragement Of domestic
branches of industry is so completely Incl
dental to that power, that it is difficult to
suppose the existence of the one without
the other. The states have delegated their
whole authority over imports to the gener-
al government, without limitation or re-
striction, saving the very inconsiderable
reservation relating to their inspection laws.
lhls dulHoIlly having thus ehtlTely paSSeu
| from the states, the right to exercise it for
the purpose of protection does not exist in
them: and, consequently, if it be not pos
sessed by the general government, it must
he extinct. Our political system would
thus present the anomaly of a people strip
ped OF the right to foster their own indus
| try, and to counteract the most selfish and
destructive policy which might be adopted
! by foreign nations. This surely can
not be the case; this indispenSa-
bic power, thus surrendered by
the states, must he within the
scope of the authority on the sub
ject expressly delegated to Com
grcSS."

The Democratic papers are in the habit
of talking as if strikes and labor troubles
were a great deal more frequent in the
United States than in Great Britain, the
inference being, of course, that this is a
point against the American protective sys-
TEN. Here, however, are the facts: At
the last session of the British Parliament,
a home office report was submitted, giving
an analysis of strikes and lock-outs in the
United Kingdom, the United States, France
and Germany for the year 1890. That re-
port says that in the United Kingdom, 1923
strikes occurred, affecting 392, ,9S1 persons,
while in the United States in that year
there were only 927 strikes, affecting 2l9,-
915 persons. The population of the Unit
ed Kingdom in 1890 was 81, ,951, and
the population of the United States was
81, ,622, ,25O, so that there might have been
in the country twice as many strikes as
there were, affecting twice as many people
and still, proportionately to the population
they would not have been significant il
comparison with the British record.

The mnmestcnh TronhIes.

The advisory committee of the Home
stead strikers recently published an ad-
dress to the country in which they sought
to make the following points: 1st, that
capital has become centralized and that
the industries of the country are being
controlled 10y a few persons and corpora
tions I'd, that the workmen have built
the city of Homestead, established schools,
churches. etc, and invested their thous-
ands in their homes in the expectation of
spending their lives there; 3D. that the
employees have an equitable interest in the
mills and a right to be employed in them.
1t is announced that the strikers will resort
to no violence, but that they will resist by
all lawful means what they term the I'M
constitutional and revolutionary conduct of
the company
There is truth in the first proposition in
the address, though the strikers have no
occasion to state it. The statement of the
second point gives away the whole case, as
it admits the great prosperity which the
workmen have enjoyed upon the liberal
0
tion is ridiculous in view of the fact that
their armed possession of the company 5
mills, and their deeds and threats of yio-
lence were the occasion of troops being
sent to Homestead.
If the men had been dismissed without
cause their appeal would have met with a
hearty response in the country. On the
contrary, they quilted their employment
I voluntarily because the wages of few
were reduced for what seemed to be sufii-
/ cient reasons. They are out of employ
ment of their own choice and in their own
wrong. While they are appealing for sym
pathy the company is inviting them to re-
turn to their works at wages which average
nearly as much per day as similar English
| operations receive per week.
The claim that workmen in mills be-
come, by virtue of long service, equitable
owners in the manufacturing property is
unfounded. Such service must necessarily
rest in contracts between employers and
employed. Strikers recognize this and end
their contracts by strikes. The position
that they have a right to be employed al
their own prices is indefensible. To pre-
vent by arms the running of the mills by
other workmen is tyranny which cannot b,
submitted to under Republican govern.
ment, and would not be under any other.
The announcement in the address that
the strikers will refrain from violence will
meet with approval, but the fact that be
fore the militia arrived the strikers had de
clared that they would resist 10y force all at
tempts by the company to start the mills
with non union men induces the belief tha
the presence of the troops has helped t,
form this reasonable resolve.
Capital is often tyrannous, but in thi'
case great is the tyranny of labor.

Fruits of McKinleyism.

From the Boston journal
Here are few of the things that the
outrageous Mckinley tariff has done, ac-
cording to official statistics:
1t has brought about a decline of ;}.4
per cent in the cost of the necessares of
life.
1t has raised wages 10 per cent
1t has swollen our foreign trade to the
largest proportion on record.
1t has promoted an average rise of 3D.
81 per cent in the prices realized for farm
products.
1t has admitted 55.SS of all our i'm
ports absolutely free of duty.
1t has reduced the average rate of duty
to 2O.65 per cent.
1t has increased our exports to Cuba 45
per cent under "sham" reciprocity.
1t has given us favorable balance OF
trade to the amount of nearly $2O3,-
OOO,OOO.
1t has built up tin plate industry which
is already turning out 5000, 900 pounds
quarter.
Wherefore, say the Democrats, 'Dowr
with McKinleyism."

Don't Dare to Tell the Truth.

The Boston Post is supporting Cleveland
and Stevenson by talking to its readers
about the entire ruin of our national com
merce! 1t is highly astonishing that such a
newspaper as "The POST should have the
audacity to make such a representation.
Our national commerce for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1892, amounted to 81 ,S57,
726,9l0, an increase during the year of
$12S, 1929, ,004, and an increase over the last
year of Grover Cleveland's administration
of $3.50, 1913, ,SS3. The value of our exports
of domestic merchandise last year was
81 ,015, 7S9, ,G07, for the first time in our
national history our exports reaching and
exceeding billion of dollars. "The en-
tire ruin of our national commerce." What
idiotic stuff And yet the Democratic
campaign is being fought all over the coun'
try with just that kind of weapons. The
Democratic organs do not dare let the peo
Pile know the real facts as to the working,
of the Mckinley bill. All they can do is
to talk in silly way about the ruin Of
everything as if the country instead of grow
ing richer, freer and happier every day were
really plunging headlOng to destruction.

it to be Il fundamental principle
of the Democratic party that the

The nemoeratIc Chairman

VIM. F. Harrity of Pennsylvania has
been made the chairman of the Democratic
national committee, and the whole party
machinery is placed in his hands. That is
to say, he is authorized to appoint an exec
utiye committee, a campaign committee
and an advisory committee. He now holds
the Office of secretary of state of Pennsyl-
vania, and announces that he will still
hold on to it while managing the campaign.
In his administration of the Philadelphia
post office under the Cleveland administra.
tion he flagrantly disregarded the civil-serv,
ice, but the fact now calls forth no protest
from the mugwump supporters of the
Democratic ticket Hill of New York and
Harrity are at enmity and Hills friend;
look on Harrity's selection as another SLAP
at him and them.

The Peoples Party as 1t Sizes Up.
From the Boston Record

The Peoples party's actual effort looks
quite sizable when it is all summed up.
Full state tickets have been nominated in
Illinois and Indiana and governor in Mis-
souri,. In North Carolina the Democratic
convention nominated an Alliance man for
governor. South Carolina Democrats have
been compelled to endorse the main feat
ures of the Peoples party platform. The
Texas farmers expect the Republicans to
endorse their ticket. In addition TO all
this, the Peoples party has nominated
many candidates for Congress in various
states, and from 80 to 100 more will be
nominated within the next few weeks. We
all know that nominating third party men
does not mean electing them, but it is easy
to see that the voting strength that is to be
put back of these candidates is going TO
spoil a great many nice calculations this
fall

Mr.. Carter, the new chairman of the
Republican national committee, evidently
has unique personality. He is described
as being tall and somewhat angular, with
long face and long chin whiskers. He
could sit for the typical picture which John
Bull has been pleased to draw of Brother
Jonathan better than any one in American
public life. He is a successful business
man, a good lawyer and an active, ener-
getic and astute politician.
