loan of 81 100000 now overdue, and has
notified the receivers that if ii is not

UNDER THE heading of Mckinley
INDICATED" the Philadelphia Press an
nounc that an owner of tinplate mills
in Wales is about to set up factory
near Norristown for coating imported
black plates with tin. In other words,
q Welsh manufacturer proposes to take
advantage of the opportunity to fleece
the people of the United States by i'm
ishing his tinplatesin the United States.
The difference between the tax on his
imported black plates and the tax on
finished tinplates is clear gain which
American consumers are forced to pay
to him. The Philadelphia Record says:
4Ifthis be a vindication of Mckinley
the less said about it the better. Why
should the people of the United States
be forced to pay SIS ,oo0, 600 to $4,000
600 yearly tax in order to enable a
smart Welshman to dip his black plates
in tin at Norristown or elsewhere 2"

The Great Wigwanl.

The wigwam in Chicago on theshorcs
of Lake Michigan, in which the demo
cratic national convention of 1892 met
to-day, is a remarkable building. 1t
breaks the record in at least three re-
spects-in size, in ugliness, and in the
misfortunes which have accompanied
its construction. The interior con-

properties, and the immensely of its

placed on the building was torn into
shreds by a storm some days ago. Since
then the unprotected interior has been
several times thoroughly drenched by
rain storms, which spoiled the decora-
tons as far as they had advanced, the
last time on Saturday night. But the
patient decorator in charge has re-
placed his o-rnamentation as fast as it
was washed away, and the building
contractor, by doubling his force and
working day and night, has now COM
pleted the roof so as to etfectually shut
out any future storms. The last buck
cts of tar making it waterproof were
spread over it yesterday evening.
From the centre of the roof, inside,
broad strips of bunting radiate to the
sides, where they are enclosed by a
still broader tier of the same material.

Harrison said:
1.-The workof the ffty-first Congress-,
in which you, sir, bore so conspicuous
and so useful a part, will strongly and
most bencfcially influence the national
prosperity for generations to come.
The general results of three years of re-
publican control have. | believe. been
highly beneficial to all classes of our
people. The home market for farm
products has been retained and en-
iarged by the establishment of great
manufacturing industries, while new
markets abroad of large and increasing
value, long obstinately closed to us,
have been opened on favored terms to
our meats and breadstufls by the re-
moval of unjust. discriminating r~estric-
tions and by numerous reciprocal trade
agreements under section 3 of the Nc
Kinley bill. These acts of administra-
ton and legislation can now fortunate
ly be judged by their fruits
Some of which results have been the
growing poorer of the farmers, the shut
ting down of many manufactures, the
reduction of wages of many of the IN
ployees of others, and a general de-
preston of business and trade, which
is felt by a large majority of the pco-
pie of this country.

Railroad to Washington says
.Tbc officials of the Richmond and
Danyille roads have employed an eH-
fra force of men TO assist IN packing
tbcir papers and moving their Office
furniture from the Kiser building to the
denot. The extra force employed and
the hurry of the clerks in the hiser
building indicate the anxiety ofthe DILL
Gals of that line TO leave Atlanta and
the South. Every clerk and every ON
cial connected with the company, win
few exceptions, hated the southern
country. and to q certain degree dis
liked the southern people. Those VINO
came to Atlanta from Washington were
always talking derogatory of the AT
lanta people. and always hoping n a
some one would get control who would
order the Offices removed TO ashlns-
ton or some other point on the hne fur-
Their north. Notwithstanding thelr
actions and the insulting talk OF many

thing was done to make the stay IN At

Them. however. and the clerks employ

allied and incapable of doing proper
work by rumors of a possible removal

~tentionally circulated and they were
effective. Until s%outherners gained
control of the Richmond and Danvllle

of that company TO aid the South in any

Now as to this american home"
question. Just how does high tariff
protect American homes? Is it by en-
couraging the importation of contract
labor to lower the wages of American
labor? This might build up some for
eign homes here, but they would occupy
the ruins Of American ones. Is it by
increasing the cost of running home
by making dearer nearly every article
from the wedding outfit to the funeral
shroud? Not bit of it. MANY couples
would establish homes earlier in life if
competition were less severe in the labor
market and more severe in the goods
market. Not only this, but there would
be more life, health and happiness and
less sorrow in American homes if the
curse Of protection were removed from
the land,
In every sense Republican protection
injuries everything that is American and
discriminates in favor of foreigners. 1t
is also largely foreign institution, and
prevails in most of the miserable, low
wage foreign nations from which we
get our present supply Of immigrants.
And yet we are told that protection" is
the American system" Was there
ever greater travesty on facts got up
with greater ingenuity to befog the
senses and tickle the vanity of the VIC
tins Of great conspiracy?

white Costume. in the Country.

Toilets Of immaculate whiteness, from
the top of the chiffon parasol to the kid
tips of the linen shoes, are in great favor
"in the country" this summer. They are
worn at all hours by sojourners from the
city at breakfast, at luncheon parties, in
church at the morning service, when driv-
ing in the afternoon and at garden parties
later in the day. Nainsook and batiste
gowns of simple design are chosen for the
warmest days, with lace for garniture, or
else the open embroidery that Stimulates
guipure. A fair young woman thus ar
rayed is charming, as she picks her way
daintily from the carriage to the door Of
the village church, that she may not soil
her spotless white shoes. Her belted cor
sage has yoke and high collar of emf
broidery, with pulled sleeves and en-
broidered cuffs.
A deep f1ounce of the trimming is gath
cred full and straight on the skirt, which
escapes the ground. Pale green MORE rib
bon stands in high loops on the shoulders,
and is passed around the waist to be tied
in full bow at the back, with ends hang
ing low on the skirt. White silk stockings
are worn, with Oxford ties of white ooze
leather, and the silken petticoat is of white
surah. The low chip hat has low bows Of
white ribbon in front, and loops at the
back hold clusters of white lilac blossoms,
their leaves of green matching that Of the
ribbons on the gown. A large coaching
parasol of white crepe de chine, with en-
ameled stick and Dresden china knob,
complete this girlish toilet. Harper's Ba-
