The Tin Plate CONSUMERS associa-

some time ago, has been more than or

some chance for success in their nelari-
ous occupation in the fact that n bill
has been introduced in the House of
Representatives providing for the re-
peal of the Mckinley duty on tin plates,
its members have taken advantage of
every opportunity TO spread misleading
reports about the status of the tin-plnte
industry in the United States. With
this object in view u circular was re-

Cholera Was Due to Drinking.

Cholera Was Due to Drinking.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. l0.-A dis
patch from Astrabad, city of Persia,
whose pestilential atmosphere has
gained for it the ominous name of
"City of the Plague" says that the
mollahs or priests, whose influence
with the populace is very pow
erful, have preached that the
outbreak of cholera is due to the
sale of alcoholic liquors. Their Ian
guage excited the populacc to frenzy.
Mobs gathered in the vicinity of the
mosques, and determined to take sum
mary steps to abolish the liquor traffic.
Raids were forthwith made upon the
dram shops, which were plundercd.
The mob destroyed the goods of a
number of Armenian traders who are
Russian subjects.
The Russian Consul, fearing that the
trouble would grow, and that he might
be attacked, telegraphed to st Peters
burg for assistance. The government
at once gave orders for the dispatch of
twenty-five mounted Cossacks, who
have arrived at Astrabad, where they
are guarding the consulate. The city
is situated on a small stream that
flows into Astrabad bay, which
opens into the Caspian sea, and a
Russian gunboat has assembled this
stream and is now anchored off Astra
bad. The Russian legation at Teheran,
the capital of Persia, was informed of
the work of the mob, and NJ de But
COW, the Russian Minister, has de-
manded compensation for the riotous
acts of the populace. The Shah of
Persia, who is making a tour of the
provinces, has been informed of the
outbreak of cholera in Teheran, and

Trouble In an English Colony.

The fact that the colonists of British
Guiana have sent adspatch to Minister
Lincoln at London asking him to in
tcrcst himself in behalf of relieving
them from oppressive colonial rcgula-
tions, shows tnat even in that out of
the way section of South America the
United States is recognized as the
guardian Of American rights. OF course
Minister Lincoln cannot officially in
terfere between Great Britain and her
subjects, but the appeal thus made VIII

attention and sympathy toward our
fellow Americans broiling under the
hot sun of Guiana, and burdened by
oppressive exactions similar in char
acter, il not in form, to those which
provoked our own Revolution.

Watson's Charges Only Partially

Chairman Boatner, OF the house com
mittee investigating the charges of
drunkenness in the house by Watson,
has finished his report and the same
was presented to the house 1t was
approved by three Democrats and par
italy by Grout, Republican, of Yer
mont. The report says that three or
four members have appeared on the
floor more or less under the influence
of liquor, but none in the condition
charged. The committee reported a
resolution declaring Watson's charges
untrue and an unwarranted assault ON
the honor and dignity of the house,
and it has unqualified disapproval.
Grout presented "a minority report al
lowing Watsoc an opportunity TO re-
tract his statements.

they feared no domestic competition.
Here, then, we find disclosed the real
animus of tiHs associations at
tack on American industry. But
we do not even believe
that there has been so great burden
on these men who use tin plate in their
business; for statistics show that prices
in country have not advanced in any
proportion to the increase of duty,
Welsh manufacturers having lowered
their selling prices to enter our market.
Whatever increase there has been, how
ever, has resulted in lowering the
profits of the importers, and the work

ANOTHER M'KlNLEy VICTORY,
Cotton Ties Now Made Here Cheaper
Than Ever BEFORE.

Cotton Ties Now Made Here Cheaper
Than Ever Before.
One more victory for protection and
the Mckinley bill! When heavier
duty was put on cotton ties made OF
iron cry went up that this meant
ruin to the planters in the South. The
tariff previous To the passage of the
Mckinley act was 80 per cent, which
was the equivalent to from Sil to Sl@
per ton.
At the time the lowest price these
Tics were ever sold ut was . cents per
pound. The duty under the new law
was made S2@.0O per ton, and yesterday
Messrs, A. Il, Whitney q Co. announced
they are selling cotton ties, made of
steel, far superior to any iron tic ever
imported, ut . cents per pound
TO Press reporter Mr. Whitney
said; "Whcn the duty was almost
trcblcd they said we couldn't make
cotton ties in this country, and that we
would simply drive the planters to
ruin. As soon rs the Mckinley bill was
passed many plants have started, and
now YOU see the result There are
now 20, ono tons made here which were
formerly imported, and the price is
lower than IL ever has been before.
when cotton ties were entirely I'M
protected the price was rs high rs six
,ents per pound, Under the 30 per cent
luty Il was two aud one. half cents, and
now, under what was called an excess
i've duty, the price is only two cents
per pound and better article Is pro
duced than over before, so, instead
of running the Southern planters, this
part of the Mckinley law has reduced
the cost to them of II necessity, ostab-
lishcd an American industry and given

A YOUTHFUL FINANCiER.
He Organized Ball Club and Then Froze
n Out.


There is twelvc-year-old boy in
Harlem, known to his friends as Char
lie, who, If he keeps on, will be rail
road tinancier when he grows up. Like
all small boys Charlie is base ball
fiend. About two weeks ago he or
ganized club, had himself elected
treasurer, while a boon companion was
made captain. Then all of the thir-
teen members went out to hustle funds
so they could purchase pretty uni
forms. The plan was a success and
fully SOS was realized.
At this point the fnanciering COM
menced. A meeting of the club was
called and five of the boys deluded by
Charles statements that there would
be more money To divide If they voted
as he directed, gave their voice in fa-
vor of expelling the other six mem
bers. This brought the club down to
seven.
Then new combination was formed
consisting of the captain, treasurer
and two others, who were assured that
they were on the inside, II was four
to three, and the three had to go.
OF the four remaining, Charlie gave
one of the two a quarter TO vote for
the expulsion of the other and then
the treasurer and captain promptly
"fired" the traitor.
The club had now got down TO two.
Charlie called little meeting and said
10 his companion: You can't get a
cent, for every motion You make III
vote against, and ii will be lost. But
il you win resign I'll give you dol

After mature consideration. the cap
tain accepted, and Charlie. sole heir OF

Reciprocity Has Done This.

A year ago the people of Cuba were
buying most OF their flour from Spain,
The receipts of Spanish -four at Havana
for the three months ending March 81,
1891, were s5,374 bags.
The reciprocity clause of the McKin-
ley tariff took effect as regards
Cuba on January /, 1892. For the
quarter ending March 81, 1892, the
imports of Spanish flour into Havana
were $50 bags,
while the amount of American flour
in Havana increased from 0,57l bags
in January, February and and March
1891, to lOl, $3.50 bags
in the same month of 1892.
