FIFTEEN millions Of dollars are being
taken from the pockets of the Ameri can
people annually, says the Philadelphia
Herald, and offered as a bonus to those
who may venture into the experiment OF
making tin plate in this country. 1t Is
a tempting bait and will unquestionably
have the effect of inducing many 70 try
to get share of it. To be sure, the en-
terprisc is handicapped by there being
no natural advantages for tin manui2c-
turc in the United States. The most
essential article is wanting in the
fact that we have no Tin; but when the
American people are being made to pay
so literally for the encouragement OF the
industry, the home manufacturers can
afford to import the tin they use, and
even the black plates, and make hand
some profit.
The big bonus offered is enticing
Welsh tin operators 10 leave the original
location Of their industry and become
beneficiaries of the American system OF
protection. Two of them, who have con-
cIuded to sell out in Wales and transfer
their operations to this country, have
given their views on the American TN
question in an interview in a Republican
paper. in which they scout the idea that
tin plate can't be made in the United
States. OF course it can be made here.
Put on a,tariff high enough to keep all
other tin out-increase its price 50 that
with every natural disadvantage there Is
money to the manufacturer in the max
ing of it, and there is no question that
American tin can be made. But at
what a great and unnecessary expense to
the consumers. Would ii not be wiser
to let tin be manufactured where nature
has furnished the materials, and eX-
change for it the products of this coun,
try which require a foreign market
This would be better policy, we think,
than to take fifteen million dollars out
of the pockets of the people every yeal
to foster an unnatural industry.

Lands Rendered Barren.

SUNBURy, Pa, May 2I.-To-day the
arbitrators in the case of the farmers
living along Shamokin creek, Northum-
county, against the Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron Company, the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company and
others handed down awards IN 10 cases
that, if sustained, may mean loss of
millions of dollars to the companies.

has been washed by each recurring
freshet on the lands of the farmers along
the creek. In 1889 the land was rend-
cred barren. Ten cases were prosecuted,
and now, after taking testimony for
three years, damages are awarded to the
Plaintiffs. Other suits will follow. The
defendants will appeal to the courts.

BENEFITS OF EATING ICE
CREAM

The value of ice cream as a remedy
for certain intestinal troubles Is being
considerably advanced. Some ply
sicians permit it through typhoid
fever, always insisting that it shall be
of the purest make. To the story
recently going the rounds in print of
the entire cure of a case of ulcer of
the stomach by the sole and persist
ent use OF ice cream may be added
that of woman known to the writer.
She suffered from a serious affection
of the eyes, directly traceable to di-
gestive disturbance, and her physi-
clan finally put her upon ice cream as
a sole diet For eleven months she
literally lived upon ice cream, with
the result of effecting a complete and
apparently permanent cure. The
theory is that the cream furnishes
ample nourishment, while the dis
eased intestines, chilled from the low
temperature of the food, are pre-
vented from getting up inflammation
during the process of digestion carried
on by the healthy parts.
