He thought at one time that no could sub

ings OF Englishmen IN England to protest
ugainst American legislation for Americans.
Hs used, also, to denonnoe and abuse the
candidates OF Protection and laud the repre-
seniatives Of Free-Trade in the public prints.
But no found that so doing rather helped than
injured Protection.
So word has been sent across the Atlantic by
Cleveland lieutenants that open advocacy Of
his election BY Englishmen must cease II they
wish to see him President again.
And the Britlsher, ever ready to make any
sacrifice for his friends on this side, suppresses
his bubbIing enthusiasm and now manfully

behalf OF the American candidate OF the Cob

warning:

great conflict which is proceeding in the
United States Of America naturally begins to
attract a little more attention. The
discussion OF the question at issue, from the

Reciprocity Scores for America Against
the World.

The British Trade Journal OF July l, uttsrs q
most plaintiye and distressing wall over the
evil effects of our reciprocity policy on British
commerce. 1t says:
British merchants and manufacturers are
asking themselves whether something could
not have been done to prevent the conclusion
OF the Spanish West Indian treaty between
Spain and the United States in Its present diff.
fertential form. 1t is one result OF the failure
of British negotiations at Madrid for renewal
OF the treaty with Spain. which expired ysster.
day. To-day, therefore, July l, the new and
enormously increased duties come into force
in the peninsula, and the United States steE
into the Cuban and Porto Rico market, while
British goods are shut out"
This is the same reciprocity policy, let II
not be forgotten, of which the Free Trade
party, always in the van when It comes to
sneering at American progress or belittllng
American policies, dlsmisses all consideration
in its platform, after contemporary refer.

Confusion 10 the Tariff Reform" Liars.
The new Tariff is oyertaking and demo lsh-
ing one by one the talsehoods set sfioat about
1t byfore it wns a month old. Some OF them
had COED start and were swift travellers, but
thoy are no match at all for the fleetfooted
facts born OF the actual operation OF the Nc
Kinley law. Here for instance is the new tim
plato industry.
Six months ago the Free Trade papers and
orators were abusing everyone who yentured
TO assert that it was making a start in this
country. They called US tin plate liars, and
called the new tin plate mills myths. But
fortunately. Congress provided Tor the pun.
ishment OF the abusive Free Traders. 1t ap-
pointed a special agent, und the jurisdiction
o; the Treasury Department, to investigate
the progress OF tin plate making in the United
States, TO keep strict account OF every plant
It's capacity and the amount OF it's actual pro,
Iduction-and to report to Congress from time
to time the facts ascor;ained. The second re-
port of this Treasury official is now bsfore US
1t simply Ouries the Free Trade tin-plnte liar
under an avalanche OF about II, 900 900 pounds
Of American tin plate. Here are the facts he
!cleaned from the sworn statements OF manu-
lecturers, as reported to the Secretary OF the
Treasury:
THE YEARS PRODUCTION.
The production of tin and terne plates, by
quarters, for the fiscal year ended June 80
1892, is shown in the abstracts appended hcro,
to. marked Exhibits 1, q 8 and 4. These ab.
Istracts furnish the names and location OF man.

open to further revision, for the reason, as
before stated, that they now include the sworn
statements of manufacturers for each quarter

iot production are also appended. Exhibits
Is and G.
From Exhibit it is seen that the total pro-
duction Of tin and terne plates proper for the
year. by quarters, was as follows:

What The Revenue Tariff Did Not Dc

The value OF our exports Of breadstufTs anc
provisions. which it was supposed the incsn
tive OF a low Tariff and large Importation
from abroad would have greatly augmented
has fallen from SOS, 900, 900 in 1917 to so, 900
GOO in 1851, with almost certainty OF q stll
further reduction In 1852. The policy which
dictated low rate Of duties on foreign mer
chandlse. 1t was thought by those who estab
lshed it, would tend to benefit the farmin,
population Of this country by increasing thu
demand and raising the price OF our agricultu
raj products in foreign markets. The forego
ing facts, however. seem to show, incontestI
bly,, that no such result has followed tn,
adoption of this policy.-PresidenI Fillmore
Annual Message, 1851.
Audubon County Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Audubon Co., Iowa) 1885-1894, 1892-09-08


Besides the foregoing it should be stated,
further, that the production of Amerlcan sheet
lion or steel. made into articles and wares,
timed or terne-coated during the year, as
shown by the sworn statements OF manu-
tacturers received to date, was 4,S2S, 22S
pounds.
As these manufactures constitute tin and
terns plates within the meaning Of the law,
it now seems probable that when full returns
of the same are received the total production
for the year, Inclusive OF such manufactures,
will not fall much short of 20, 600, 900 pounds.
OF the production OF tin and terne plates
during the past fiscal year, a little more than
$50 per cent was of the lighter class OF plates
named in the law, which alone are subject TO
comparison with the same class OF plates i'm
ported. II practically the same ratio OF weight
between the Lighter and the heavier class OF
plates should be maintained during the present
fiscal year, as presumably 1t will be, there
would result upon the foregoing estimate a
production Of 9OOOO.0OO pounds, weighing
lighter than 63 pounds per 100 square feet, or
an excess Of 6,00O. 900 pounds over the required
amount. These figures have reference TO tin
and terne plates only. 1 may here state that
the rapid growth OF the industry since the
date of my former report fully iustiflss the
prediction therein contained, that by the
close Of the present fiscal year the production
will be at the annual rate OF 100000, 600
pounds.
PRODUCTION OF AMERICAN BLACK PLATES.
careful estimate shows that the quantity
Of black plates produced in the United States,
and which entered into the manufacture Of tin
and terns plates during the year was, by quart
ers, as follows:

In other words, Of the production Of tin and
terne plates proper for the year over 6s per
cent, and OF the total production over 70 per
cent, were made from American black plates.
Further inspection shows that the quarterly
increase in the production OF black plates has
been In about the Same ratio as that Of tin and
terne plates. The preparations that are going
forward for the production Of black plates, by
American manufacturers, lusilles the belief
that this rate OF increase will be maintained.

DIED BY HIS OWN HAND.
A One. Prominent Hollaire Man Commit
Suicide.


Suicide.
Charles Fry, ST., an Old-time resident
Of BelIaire, well-known to all the older
residents and at one time fairly we'll
to-do citizen, ended his life by his own
act Yesterday afternoon. He had been
to Wheeling and returning proceeded to
his room at his home in the Fourth
ward. His wife followed shortly after
wards and found him writhing in agony.
She sent for DR.. McClelland, and that
gentleman responded promptly, but the
deadly strychnine had done its work.
His muscles were set and he was in
commissions when the physician ar
rived. No one knows just when he
took the dose, but he must have done
go about the time he got home from
Wheeling.
He was sixty.two years OF sge and
latterly had seen much OF the worst
side OF life. He was at Tifiin for long
time, and there attended bar in a sa-
loon, but about two weeks ago he re-
turned to Bellaire, and shortly alter
wards word was sent the officers there
to arrest him on a charge of larceny,
the amount he was charged with steal
ing being Sl4O, but he was never al
rested and ended his life as stated. He
has family OF grown children, most OF
them married, well to do, and living in
various parts of the country.
