The Light Weight Tin Plato Scheme

The Light Weight Tin Plato Scheme.
Recently the ISTELLIGEScER called at
tention to the statement in the trade
circular OF Messrs. Trench & Co., New
York, to the effect that hereafter 100
lbs. would DO likely to BIO the standard
weight OF box OF tin plate. 1t was re-
marked at that time that this was one
OF the foreign devices for keeping down
the price so as to prevent American
competition in the American market;
and further, that plates OF this weight
are without practical value.
Tho following from a letter of the
10th inst. addressed to tho ISrELLlGES-
GER by the N. & G. Taylor Co.. Phila-
4 delphia, throws additional light on the
general subject and on light weight tin
plate in particular:
al The plates we are making IRE sold ut fair
q percentage OF profit on the cost OF production.
: and we consider that tho property owner will
receive full value for the amount invested. We
have improved tho quality by increasing the
improved quality and no advance In tho prices
Taylor's guaranteed roofing plates will receive
favorable consideration.
Since writing the above, We have received n
clipping snid to have been taken from your
issue OF the 9th inst. under the head OF '"fhey
Let Go Hard" on the manufacture OF tinplate,
in which you speak OF sellers stating nothing
selling for future except In light weight, and It
looks as ii hereafter 100 lbs will be the standard
weight" We have heard considerable about re-
ducing the weight Of plates, and 1t is simply de-
ceiving the buyer, because making box Of liz
sheets of 14x20 to weigh 100 pounds when finish.
cd would be producing plate too light for the
average purpose. lOS and 1l2 pounds Is as light
as they should be. the standard is liz and sheets
should be at least up to that or more.
In the American made plates you will find the
standard to be full weight, and as they will DO
sold At n profit on the cost Of production rs we
have frequently stated before. the buyer will re.
celvc full value for tho amount invested.
Our ain shall be in the future TO improve tho
quality and we nrc satisfied that the business In
such goods will fast increase. :

Mr. W. S. GRANDsrArF, writing to the
1STELLldEScER from Beham, Pa, asks
what tits that makes the Democratic
newspapers so mum about M. S. Quay
since a little transaction some days
since in Pittsburgh. Our impression
is that the mumness ls due to the dis
covery that i! doesn't pay to jump on a
man unless you know pretty we'll where
you arc going to land. Tho Democratic
newspapers in Pennsylvania which per-
mitted the state committee Of their

ing their best to find a way out. Any

flag floating from the college building,
and resist all attempts on the part of
the sophomores to haul it down. Sever
al fierce encounters have occurred, dur
ing one of which the sophomores capt
ured five freshmen and tied them hand
and foot. They then took two of them
out in the country and placed them in
smokehouse, where they remained for
eight hours, and were nearly frozen when
found by farmer. One of the others
was thrust into sewer and two were
put in cellar, where they remained
until morning. These men are now
confined to bed suffering from bruises
and exposure.
Sunday night the least of the college
buildings was destroyed by dynamite.
Last night the police were out in full
force, but were powerlesS to do any,
thing. Both classes are armed with re-

horses and in wagons, and all disguised
so that 1t is impossible to identify them.
The faculty have ordered the classes
placed in jai! in body. and several ar
rests have been made. The faculty have

mob does not surrender every one will
