A TARIFF law that increases
wages and reduces the cost of living
- a good thing for a country, and
hat is the kind of law that makes
Democratic success impossible in
the present contest.

THE Grand Army CT the Repub-

This is probably one of the reasons
why the Democrats call it polit-

The Republican party has no

And now the song of 'More
Anon" has changed from a sheep
to a tin Billy goat. Wonderful
man he must be.
One thing is certain, that if Nc
kinley owns tin Billy goat it is
made of American and not of for
eign tin-plate. Two years ago the
Democratic orators and papers
throughout the United States said
we could not make tin-plate, and
now "More Anon" with the true
Democratic principle of opposition,
tries to be-little the tin-plate indus
try. One would suppose from his
article that the tin-plate industry
was only paper concern, vet Col.
Aver, in his official report, exhibit
6, gives the production OF tin and
terne plates for the year ending
June 30th, 1892, as follows:

Besides this, during same period,
the production OF American, sheet
iron or steel timed or terne coated
amounted to 4,828, 22S pounds.
At this same ratio of increase it
would not take so very long to sup
ply the American market with
American tin-plate- l refer "More
Anon" also to the Mountain Demo-
crat of July 20, 1892. Ira Aver, il
his official report of this industry,
SAYS: 81 see no reason for changing
the view expressed IN my report Of
April &c, 1892, that the production
Of the present fiscal year will be in
excess of 100, 900, 900 pounds" In
addition, careful estimate shows
the quantity of black plates made
which entered into the manufacture
of tin and terne plates during the
year was by quarters as follows:
sept 80 1851 lbs,
Dec. 81, ,2o0,66l
Mar. 81, .0S2
June 80, 1885
While during the four quarters of
the year the production of bright
tin plates compared with that OF the
first quarter was in the ratio of 90
to /. Does this seem like a paper
concern?

w. c. Il. L., Anniversary Celebration

Tho celebration of the 18th anniversary of
the Belfast Woman's Christian Temperance
Union on the afternoon and evening of
March 0th was Very happy occasion. The
six O'Clock supper WAS thoroughly enjoyed
by tifty-siX friends and members, who SEEM
ed to realize the statement that w. {. L. I.
women understand the art of nice cooking
to perfection. The evenings entertainment
was opened by very tinely rendered piano
solo by Miss Villa Dorcum, after which,
reading and singing by members and friends
made the time pass rapidly. A beautiful
poem, written for the occasion by Mrs. G. n.
Neazie, and read in most charming manner
by Rev, Myra kingsbury, was delight to
all. A vocal solo by Mrs. Emma Pitcher,
with Miss Dorcum as pianist, was very much
admired. A poem, '"The woman of the fu-
ture,' read by Mr.. H. Prentiss in his own
unapproachable style, was highly apprecia-
ted. A vocal solo by Mr.. f. S. Pitcher was
so enjoyed that he kindly favored us with an
other selection. A humorous article entitled
"Stop my paper" (The Union Signal,)
brought audible smiles to the faces Of the
members. The remarks of Rev. j. A. Savage
will long be remembered for their genuine
worth and friendly illusions to the work of
the w. G. T. U. in Belfast. Several of the
gentlemen present became honorary MEM
bers. The celebration was decided to be u
complete success by those present.
