There was not even suggestion of a
nomination for county officers. ANY
thought of it was so far removed, that
not even probable date of adjournment

as nominating county officers should be

issued.

The Tin-Plate Tax.

The reluctance of the foreign
producer to pay the tax on tin-plate,
says the Louisville Courier-J ournal,
as the McKinleyites promised he
would, is noted with painful feelings
by American consumers. Before
the Mckinley bill passed the House
was worth $40 a box;
now it is worth $685.. The Ameri-
can purchaser at wholesale there
fore pays ninety-five cents box
in consequence of the
bill; more than that, in
fact, as the price abroad is lower
now than is was two years ago. Of
course it will be claimed that the
decline was due to the reduced
demand, but the truth is
that the price abroad declined from
FIVE cents a pound in 1880 to three
cents in 1889 without any change
whatever in the tariff. On the
other hand, in spite of the continu-
ed fall of prices abroad, the advance
in price here is nearly equal to the
advance in the tariff rate.

Good Prospects for Alpena's Public
Building.

The committee of citizens, consisting
Of A. w. Comstock, w. L. Churchill, G..
L. Maltz and James MCNAMARA, appoint
ed to 60 to Washington to aid In getting
the appropriation, had a hearing before
the Congressional committee on the 3D.,
and the following, from the Detroit Free
Press, will show that they have done
their work In manner that entities them
to the warm appreciation OF Alpena peo-
pie:
Representative Weadock and the AL.
pena delegation had an entirely satlsfac-
tory hearing before tho House committee
on rivers and harbors this morning.
Prosecuting Attorney Mcnamara made
the principal talk for the public building
and his associates on tho delegation unit
cd In making an effective presentation OF
the claims OF Alpena. II was urged that
Alpena had a population OF nearly 1000
and had Increased nearly 5000 since tho
State census OF 1890. 1t Is the largest
city In Michigan north Of Bay City. There
was no competing town within 100 miles
In any direction, and this vast territory
was rapidly filling up with an industrious

ed waterways, backed up with an unllnit-
cd amount OF pine and various hard woods,
warranted the prediction that Alpena will
continue to be, as she now is, the metrop.
oils Of Northern Michigan. Its postofice
statistics were presented to the committee
as ample evidence Of the need Of public
building. The receipts OF the Alpena OF.
hce were 90, $50 In 1891 as against $5, 871
In 1891, and the receipts Of the same OF.
fee since 1881 aggregate considerably
moro than 1t Is proposed for the new
building. The delegation undoubtedly
made good representation of the claims
OF the city. They also had an opportun.
ity to do some good informal work for
Alpena at a luncheon given by Mr.. A. w.
Comstock to the committee on the public
buildings and grounds that afternoon.
The members Of the Alpena delegation
have also done some Industrious work for
their bill among members Of the House,
who are not on the committee. Repre-.
sentative Weadock is confident that the
Alpena bill will be favorably reported and
will get place well up on the calendar
and will pass In the session.

ed States will transfer to Mexican
sovereignty valuable and pictur-
esque tract of Arizona territory
suggests the possibility of unusual,
not to say unprecedented, interna-
tional complications.
On one hand Mexico is fully en-
titled to the limits set down by
treaty. We certainly absorbed
enough of her soil to warrant her
in claiming everything that the
treaty left her, and if the survey
says that the land belongs to Mex
leo any protest from our side would
come with bad grace.
On the other hand, the flourish
ing cities, mines and railroads in the
disputed area are the property of
American citizens, who have invest
ed their means and given their labor
in developing the country under
the law of the United States, and
who are entitled to protection from
loss arising through mistake of our
Government.
Fortunately Mexico is good
natured neighbor and is not likely
to insist on unfair terms in settle
ment. Fortunately, also, the Unit
ed States are rich enough to pay
any just compensation for an invol-
untary enroachment, and thus the
little difficulty may turn out to be a
source not of trouble but of closer
friendship between the two Repub-
lies

Out of Their Own Mouths.

lhe CENSUS bulletins ground out
by Supt. Porter supply little aid or
comfort for those contending that
the Republican tariff benefits the
workingmen. For instance, In
spector Conkling makes a report
which gives some idea of how
American labor, for which the mo-
nopolistic promoters Of high tariff
are so solicitous, is protected in the
mines of Pennsylvania. He says:
Where originally the miners consis-
ed of intelligent, English-speaking
people, citizens of the United States,
they are now foreigners, neither in
telligent, citizens nor taxpayers.
They hoard their gains as they ac-
cumulate, with the idea of return
ing to their mother country. They
refuse to learn the English language
and are vicious and hard to control,
giving the civil authorities much
trouble. A depression in the wages
of the miners is one of the results"
These facts are not new to the
reading public, but they officially
confirm what the Republican organs
have seen fit to deny in season and
out Of season. The mine owners
of Pennsylvania first secures through
their influence, which dominates
one of the most corrupt political
combinations ever formed, a pro-
lection for the products of their
mines, thus enabling them to sell
greatly in advance of prices other
wise obtainable. In aid of this
scheme it is heralded from the
stump and through the press that
American labor is to be benefited
and raised above the degraded level
of pauper labor in Europe. As to
the redemption Of this promise they
are condemned out of their own
mouths and through an authorized
agent of the government. Cheap
labor is imported, undesirable resi-
dents are foisted upon the people
of the state, the American work.
men, who were to have been pro-
tected, are thrown out of employ
ment, and to still further advance
their own selfish interests, the mine
owners shut down at any and all
times when a reduction of supply |
will materially advance the market |
value of the OUTPUT.
But there is no necessity Of going
so far from home to see the |
iniquities of this professed protec-
ton of American labor. 1t is noto-
rious that the tariff was placed and
maintained upon lumber on these
same specious representations. Yet
men for the woods and mills come
i'll droves from Canada, many of
them bringing their teams with
them, free Of duty because they
were to be returned. They drove
labor out of the field, lowered wages
and showed the utter hypocrisy Of
those plausible representations made
on behalf of American workingmen.
concerning the manufacture
of steel and iron in New England,
MIR. Porter's bulletin gives the
whole number of men employed as
$500. A greater part of these re-
ceive less than $3.50 per day, near
ly three-quarters Of them get less
than ~ per day, and only 1852 Of
them in all New England received
an average of over 81 per day.
Thus skilled labor, it will be seen,
employed in great industry and in
a foremost manufacturing section
OF the union, receives just above
what most cities pay their common,
unskilled day labor. Let protection
be Judged by its fruits.-Pree Press.
