TIE DINNER AND THE DINNER


The Democratic party is striking at
the workingman's dinner with one hand
and at his dinner pail with the other. 1t
has been trying for the last four months
to take the tariff off of wool, and nobody
hcs yet discovered any other way of
raising wool than by raising sheep with
wool on their skins. Now It has not es-
caped the notice of the intelligent Ameri.
can workingman that the number of
sheep in the United States, and there
fore the supply of mutton, has increased
or diminished as the wool tariff has in
creased or diminished.
A protective duty was placed on wool
in 1867, and under its operations the
number of sheep rose from 2S,477, ,343 in
1870 to 50,626,626 in 1884. By 1885 the
effects of the reduction of the wool duty
by the tariff of 1888 was felt and the
sheep industry began to decline. The
number had fallen to 42,599,079 by 1889,
but in that year the effects of the cleo
ton of Harrison and Republican Con-
gress began to be felt, and the enactment
of the Mckinley bill was foreshadowed.
The number of sheep rose to 44,336, ,072
in 1890, and is now estimated at 44,93S,-
365.
So much for the tariff and the work.
ingman's dinner The Democratic party
however, is not only blundering along in
policy which makes the workers din
nsr dearer by lessening the growth of the
American mutton supply, but it is trying
tg remove the protection from the work
iIgman's dinner pail. Dinner pals are
made of tin plate, and the Mckinley bill
| Increased the duty on tin plate so that
that article and the wares of which it is
the material might be made here. This
would give employment to 10000 men
and make us so thoroughly independent
Of the foreign supply of tin plate that
the price of the dinner pail would not go
Up, as it did when the tin plate tariff OF
1864 was destroyed by Treasury ruling,
leaving the home market in the control
d the English manufacturers.
Under the operations of the Mckinley
duty on tin plate, which did not go into
efect till July 1st, 1891, the price of i'm.
ported tin plate has already fallen from
an average of $3.50 cents a pound, the in
voice value of the imports of June, 1891,
ID 2. 90 cents pound, the invoice value
Of the imports of February, 1892. With
ia eight months the large home produc.
ton of tin plate caused by the Mckinley
law has brought the price down 0.6z
cents pound, or more than half of the
Increase of 1.2 cents in the duty pei
pound. ANY workingman can see that {
few months more of such protection viii
make tin plate cheaper, for the plain
common sense reason that the supply il
getting larger all the time, so long az
the protective duty is left undisturbed
Yet the Democratic party is especially
anxious to disturb this particular protec
tive duty.
The Democracy Is working hard Il

well as the dinner in it, cost more.-N

from Pittsfield, in which, with shocking
disregard of the EDITORS tariff teachings,
the correspondent declares that "more
woolen goods are now being made in
that city than before, during or since the
late war;" and names three long-closed
factories whose doors are soon to be re-
opened. Then, with narrowing in
difference to the feelings of his col
laborators, who concoct free trade editor
ials, the correspondent adds that "Wil-
son & Horton, besides running the Bel
Air Mill to its fullest capacity, have
doubled the amount of machinery in
their Taconic Mill. Then the famous
Pontoosac Works have doubled their
productive power in the last two years,
the two Peck Mills are turning out
largely increased amount of tiannels,
while the Tillotson Mill capacity has
been growing right along in its increase
of fine products. This is good news for
Pittsfield and very cheering, taken In
connection with the new and prosperous
industries coming to the front here with
in the last dozen years." Tut, tut, this
will never do! Hasn't the Republican
published reams of arguments to show
that the iniquitous Mckinley bill was
running all New England, and partlcu-
larly Western Massachusetts,? And 1t
isn't the first time that its news columns
have fatty refuted its editorial depart
ment, either. Facts are ugly customers.
If they could only be abolished, how
easily the country might be carried for
free trade and reform!

"Reminiscences of Gov. HOIbrOOk.

Some interesting correspondence has
been carried on of late between Gov.
Fredrick Holbrook and the Adjutant
Generals office, the result of which
many incidents relative to the war have
been told by the Governor. Among
Others is the following, in regard to the
9th regiment. Gov. Holbrook says: Il
well remember. in thinking the matter
all over, how much chagrin and disap-
pointment felt at the former result of
the Virginia engagements and battles
prior to the spring of 1862, and which
led me to write so urgently to President
Lincoln that the government needed
more men in the field, and that in my
opinion 100000 volunteers should at
once be called for. This letter was the
moving cause of the call about July lst,
for 800, 600 three years. men, and the fact
that so very soon after another call was
made for 100000 nine months men
seemed to substantiate my claim that
the previous call should have been for
500, 600 men. Then the 9th regiment
was soon sent forward, July 18th, in re-
Spouse to the call Of about July 1st, for

An Easter despatch from Rutland
says: "John O'Neil, wholesale liquor
dealer in Whitehall, N. Y, was recently
convicted of 457 offenses, the fines
amounting to 50, 14O and costs. This
number Of offenses was subsequently re-
duced to 107, making the fines SO, 140
and costs. Under the prohibitory law
Of Vermont, O'Neil was adjudged to re-
main in prison three days for each dol
lar of fines and costs, which would
amount to 1894 days. This punish
ment was unusual and excessive. The
sentence of Imprisonment amounted to
"a years. Six times the extreme penalty
possible under the State laws for man
slaughter, forgery, purjury or embez-
element. Mr. O'Neil says: Il will ap-
pear before the Rutland Couty Supreme
Court in January, surrender myself and
pay the fines and costs. have fought a
game fight, and, being beaten, l will
stand up and take my sentence. have
no intention of spending "a years and
2O4 days, the alternative of the fine, in
the Rutland House of Correction. Rut-
land is my native town, and it is said to
have a model prison."

3OO,O three years volunteers, that it
hastened recruitment everywhere else at
the North, and as Secretary Stanton
wrote, the promptness with which the
9th Vermont fastened to the front, in
response to that call, was worth 10000
men to the . cause. True, the regiment
was soon captured, but that was no fault
of Verrant or the raGime~t Liit ,,nt ratner
as was said at the time, of the utter in
efficiency of the officer in chief COM
mand-one of that sort of West Pointers
who could not Danish latent sympathy
for the South and its rebel army and
stand up and fight in a manly way for
the Union. How the fire used to kindle
in Gen. Stannards eyes, and with what
emphasis his tongue used to speak when
that surrender was mentioned; and had
he been in chief command good deal
of blood would at least have been first
spilled before surrender"

Congressman McKinney's recent fool
ish and radical free trade speech, says
the Boston Journal, is exciting the un-
mixed wrath of his protectionist consti-
tuents in New Hampshire. A corre-
spondent of the Manchester Mirror
furnishes a striking refutation of his
fallacies. Mr.. Mckinney, in the course
of his speech, cited the decrease in the
number of sheep in the State of Vermont.
and attributed to the protective tariff.
But the Mirrors writer shows that this
decrease occurred largely in the revenue
tariff period in our history. In 1S4O
Vermont had 1 1,6S1, ,S19 sheep, but in lS6O
she had less than half as many, or 752,-
pol The shrinkage was much less pro-
portionately In 20 years of the subse-
Grent protectionist era, Taking all the
New England States together, TIC cor
respondent shows that while in 1850 their
total number of sheep was 2,247 ,5S3, it
had fallen to Ito, 767 in 1860, loss in
ten years of free trade tariffs of 46S,S17.
In 1870 there were ,450, 155 sheep in New
England, a decrease of 329,6l2. The
sheep industry as whole was gradual
ly being transferred to the cheaper lands
west of the Mississippi river, but the
shrinkage was less in the protection
than in the free trade period. Another
important consideration is that the
sheep which remain in New England are
mostly of superior quality, as they are
the only kind which it pays to raise here.
The smaller flocks of the present day
are more profitable to the farmer than
the larger focks used to be. These
figures and facts tell their own story.
They simply annihilate MI. Mckinney
deceptive argument.

1t is interesting to an American work
man to see who is doing the work in the
new palace of the Vanderbilts. All of
the decorative work is being executed
by Frenchmen-the real imported arti-
Gle at that. When the men leave the
work at night every man, artist, mechan-
ic or laborer is searched to see that he
carries away no written description of
the place with him, and anyone who has
the temerity to make pencil and paper
notes about anything is at once ap-
preached by watchman and his work
is carefully strutinized. No stranger is
allowed to pass the gates, and so stric
is this rule that early in February Mr..
and Mrs. Conelius Vanderbilt tried to
gain admittance, but signally failed and
were obliged to go away, although the
gate keeper knew them perfectly well.

State Auditor Powell says that he is
not a cadidate for denomination. He
says, in substance, that he should like
another election if it would come with
out struggle, but that as there are
three other candidates he will abandon
the field. The three candidates, says the
Free Press, are Norman Paul of Wood
stock, George w. Wing of Montpelier
and F. D. Hale of Lunenburgh, Each
has friends working in their behalf, but
nobody seems to know much about the
headway made. Mr.. Powell has been an
efficient officer, but the mere length of
time he has held the place-12 years
made it easy to attack him.
