The enormous stock of tin plate
imported just before the high duty
was imposed is almost exhausted,
and with it the additional quantity
that has been imported under the
new duty. We now begin to hear
of very large shipments of tin plate
from Wales. Some days ago a
consignment of l,340,50S pounds
was received in Chicago. On the
25th ult. the Portland, Me-, Argus
reported the payment of 25,543.72
in duties ''by Phelps, Dodge & Co. of
St. Louis, on their consignment of
tin (plate) brought by the Circas-
SIAN and remarked that this was
believed to be the largest sum ever
paid on one consignment at this
port" The sum paid in duties in
dicates that the quantity was l,16l,-
07S pounds. Now it is announced
that the steamer Massachusetts, has
arrived at Swansea, where she will
take on cargo Of 5000 tons, or g.
100000 pounds, of tin plate for the
port of New York. At the same
time it is reported in the high-tariff
journals that in this country the
wages of the men who make such
thin sheets of steel or iron as are
used in the manufacture of tin plate
are soon to be reduced.

The States and the Conspiracy.

The anthracite coal fields, says
the New York World, produce
more than 45,000,OOO tons of coal
every year.
If monopoly adds even % cents
II ton to the price, it will take SILL
100000 every year from the people
without giving anything whatever
in return.
This money will be taken from
the earnings Of men who work hard
for a living. 1t will go to swell
the incomes of men already so rich
they juggle with hundreds of mil
lions as children play with jack
stones.
The rich men who have conspired
to take this money, or twice or
thrice it's amount if possible, out of
the wages of poor men, get their
power to do so from the laws of the
States that have chartered their cor
porations. Those States created
the companies that are thus conspir-
ing. It is the duty of those States
to protect the people against such
an abuse of the powers they have
created.
Juggle as you please with legal
technicalities, talk as you will of
vested rights" and corporate priv
ileges' and ''the obligations of con-
tracts" this thing is robbery and
oppression. 1t is not made one whit
better by showing that it is done
under forms of law. Behind law
there is the human right to live.
The highest law is liberty, and this
is a conspiracy against liberty, a
part of Monopoly's plan to subject
the many to the control of the few.
The States that created these
corporations are bound to restrain
them from expressing and robbing
the people. The subject is already

Possibilities of Fusion.

| Inc fuslOn repOTteu do haNihS
been practically agreed upon be-
tween the committee of the Demo
Gratis and the Peoples party in Kan
sas is a hint of what may happen
in several of the Western States.
The terms agreed upon, according
to despatch in the Tribune, are
these:
The Democrats will support the
Peoples electoral ticket and give
them the entire State ticket with
the exception of the Associate JUS
tice. The Democrats will indorse
the Peoples Congressional nominees
| in the five districts now represent
ed by Alliance Congressman, and
the Peoples party will indorse
Democratic nominees in the First
and Second districts, now represent
ed by Republicans, and give the
Democrats the Congressman-at-
Large.
The Democrats do not appear to
be getting a very large share of the
expected results under these con-
ditions. But they would, if the
fusion should succeed, prevent the
Republicans from getting the cleo
toral vote of Kansas: and that
might prove fatal blow to the Re-
publican ticket.
At the last Presidential election
Mr.. Harrison had plurality of So
$50 in Kansas. But his actual
majority was only $4,000. In 1890,
however, Kansas experienced one
of the most sweeping political rev.
olutions ever known in the Union.
The Republican candidate for Gov
ernor had a plurality of S,05S over
the Farmers Alliance candidate;
but the combined vote of the Benz
ocrats and the Alliance exceeded
that of the Republicans by 63,0OO
The Alliance elected, with Demo-
cratic help, five of the seven men,
bers Of Congress, and the Legisla-
ture has an Alliance majority of
sixteen on joint ballot.
If the anti-Republican elements
unite it is pretty certain that the
Republicans will lose Kansas.
The same state of affairs exists
in Minnesota and Nebraska. In
Minnesota in 1890 the Democrats
and the Farmers Alliance combined
polled 58,247 more votes than the
Republicans. In Nebraska the two
had majority of 72,64O-the DEM
Ocrats alone having plurality of
IA over the Republicans.
These three States now have 81
electoral votes-Kansas 10, Ne
braska s and Minnesota 8. The
Republicans must have them to win
under any reasonable calculation of
results. The Democrats could
afford to give all these votes to the
Alliance or the Peoples party. For
if this should throw the election of
President into the House-no can
didate having a maiority--the Dem
ocrats would elect, under a vote of
the States as units, by "a vote of 30
to IL for the Republican candidate
and 2 for the Farmers Alliance.
Or the fusion might be made on
the basis of dividing the electors
and giving the ''embattled farmers
the State offices.
1t will be seen that there are a
good many interesting possibilities
in view in regard to the election.
But the next President must be q
