pect such brazen humbuggery, uni

to be swallowed by voters.
II tiu-plate "is now being produced

pound Of it on the market? An east

5000 boxes Of it, which yet remains to

There are terne plates-iron coated

The fact Is, as the REGISTER has fire.
quently stated, that there are no facto-
ries now making tin plate in the United
States for commercial purposes.
Then, as 10 the increase in cost
caused by the tariff tax on the material.
1t is q fact of which the market experts
take cognizance that the cost Of tin
plate has advanced about 25 per cent.
since the new tariff went into effect.
The result has been the substitution OF
other materials in many cases and an
increase Of the cost in others.
At the recent meeting Of the Tin Plate
Consumers Association, the increase in
the cost of two and three pound cans
was stated 10 be six cents a dozen. IF
packers do not advance prices, declared
one Of the members engaged ia this
business at Conneaut, o., "they will be
compelled to make up the difference in
the prices paid TO farmers for growing
the vegetables"
Whether tin plate can ever be made at
a commercial profit in this country is,
OF course, a question. But to maintain
that II is now so made, and that the peo-
pie are not taxed for an experiment
which is yet futile, is foolish indeed.

Senators from Massachusetts IN Congress

or entirely remove the duties upon raw

The hearing developed considerable po-
litical spice, and in fact turned upon the at
titude the two great parties take on the
tariff question, particularly as regards free

sentative Bennett, (Republicanl OF
Everett, in advocating free wool and
making the threat that he would
20 over to the Democratic party If certain
matters of tho tariff were not adjusted, was
a matter Of comment in the committee.
He fairly staggered his Republican asso-
ciates as he exclaimed: II have voted the
Republican ticketall my life.
Sat the present time l see large exodus
of nv friends into the Democratic party,
and believe il Is due TO the stand the Re
publican party takes on the tariff. am

tween these people and the Democratic
party other than this tariff question, ann it

POLITICS AND POLITICIANS.


state Finances, Personal and Political
Matters FROM all Parts OF the State.
Within the past month quite a num-
Der OF Democratic papers in the State
have been advocating the candidacy of
Hon. w. L. Wilson for the guber-
Material nomination. Rumor even went
so far as TO assert that a delegation of
prominent West Virginia Democrats
took the pains of making a pilgrimage
to Washington TO solicit Mr.. Wilson's
consent OF the use OF his name. But
Notwithstanding their alleged earnest
solicitations, with the possibilities Of
political prelerment which success
iul candidacy would insure, the honor
able gentleman refused TO permit any
such liberty with his cognOmen.
OF course it goes without saying that
Mr.. Wilson would make a strong candi-
date, and would, without doubt, be
elected if nominated; yet there were
many who doubted if Mr.. Wilson could
be induced to enter the race. The rea-
sons were obvious; but In order TO set
tie further cayiI upon the subject the
REGISTER wrote to Mr.. Wilson, asking
for an authoritative statement as to his
position upon the matter.
His answer is succtuct and character
istic Of the man, and dispels all rumors,
stories and doubts concerning the ques-
ton. Here is his answer:

ALGER AND TIE MATCH TRUST.


The prominence which Gen. ALGER
has come TO assume as the opposition
candidate 70 Mr.. HARRISON for the Re-
publican nomination lends new inter-
est TO the decision of the Michigan Su
preme Court in a suit against the match
monopoly, something over two years ago.
General ALGEE, as the head of this
monopoly, was one of the parties to the
suit; and the Court, in its decision, held
him up as one by whose efforts 1.-The
manufacture of matches was stiied, OPP
position to the business crushed, and
the business Of the country in that line
engrossed by the Diamond Match Com
pany."
Such a combination " declared the
court, sis a menace to the public"
The election Of Mr.. HARRISON or Of
any Republican candidate would I'M
doubtedly be a menace to the public.
But General ALGEE enjoys the peculiar
distinction Of being named by judicial
authority as such, even before nOmina.
