WASHINGTON, March Ut is under
stood that the Ways and Means com
mittee will report bill soon repeating
the tin plate feature of the Mckinley
law and storing the old duty rate Of
one cent per pound on tin plate. They
insist that the Mckinley act has not
caused production Of tin plate in the
United States or reduced the price OF
tin
Republicans, however, win show
that neatly a score u tin plate manu-
factories have been established since
the passage Of the act, with millions Of
dollars invested, and now beginning 10
turn out American plate in large guam
titles, and that, even though the indus
try has only begun, prices are lower
now under the high tariff than they
were under the old rate. 1t is not be-
lioyed that the bill can pass the Sen

For Political Enect.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Success OF
reciprocity with nations having articles
we want and which purchase largely
OF the class Of goods manufactured here,
IS not accepted as an argument in favor
of Canadian reciprocity by leaders Of
either party here. Congressman
Chapman of Detroit, commenting
On the situation, says
Ny people want a complete reel
procity or none. Reciprocity which ex-
cludes manufactured goods is unpopu-
lar on lumber and coal it would be
acceptable; but aside from this pro-
posed treaty, il would be Of little
value We believe the Canadian Minis
ter il using reciprocity negotiations
merely for political purposes and our
sentiment generally sustains Blaine's
course N the matter"

He is just as bad man as Peck says be is
Yet there is nothing in his methods that

Peck makes this charming confession:
IF he Hill were to turn his influence

still and wait for four years he would have
strong claims Of being the candidate then.
This il rich. The obi ction is not to
Hill as a bold. bad burglar-with all his
burplsrious methods he would be all night
as the democratic candidate in 1896 but
to the usa Of his jimmy to get into the

BLAND BILL LIKELY TO PASS.
An Apparent Majority In the Senate for
tho Free Coinage OF silver.

An Apparent Majority In the Senate for
tho Free Coinage OF silver
WAsHMGToN, March 15.--lt begins
to look very much as if the President
would have to decide before long
whether he will veto free silver bill or
not. If the Senate Committee on Finance
could speak the final word, there is no
doubt that the Bland bill, after it's
receipt from the house, would sleep the
sleep that knows no waking on the
committee files. There seems to be no
possibility Of this, however, much to
the regret Of several presidential
aspirauts who would be glad II they
could avoid the necessity Of meeting
the question face to face The Presi-
dent is said to be most DESTROYS that
the bill shall reach him before the
Minneapolis convention meets.
