The American Protective Tariff
league is dong a splendid work in the
compilation of 1.-The Mckinley census"
which shows in detail the number Of
new manufacturing plants established
and the old ones expanded under the
tariff of 1890, giving in each a the
location, name of firm, company or In
dlvidual proprietor, with amount of
capital invested, number of hands en-
ployed, hours Of labor, wages paid,
mount of output, and character of pro-
duct. The first installment of this q
is now ready and it makes a formida-
bic showing. Democrats who want to
know what new industries have been
established under the Mckinley tariff
can now be furnished with a bill of
particulars. as full and complete As
could possibly be desired. If they take
no delight in the details of the McKin-
ley tariff census they will surely be in
terested in the .'demnitioc total" The
document is one of great value to Re
publicans and of peculiar interest to
Democrats. 1t can be had of the Pro-
tective Tariff league. or through the
Washington Office of the National Re-
publican committee.

Clicked on an Oyster Shell.

The Rev. W. ID. Shea made a narrow
escape at Macon, Ga. recently. He
went to q restaurant for some oysters
and swallowed a piece of shell. which
very near cost him his life. The shell
lodged liz his throat, lacerating the
membrane and causing hemorrhage
and strangulation. The several present
were attracted to the minister, who
had gone into commissions. A physi-
clan was Immediately dispatched for,
but in the meantime the shell became
dislodged and was thrown up during
the commissions The shell was about
the size of a quarter of dollar. with
sharp edges. After being relieved OF
the difficulty the Rev. Mr.. Shea soon
revived. His throat was considerably

AMERICAN TIN PLATE.
HOW THE M'kINLEY BILL AT
FECTS WORKINGMEN.
Ailll0ns Of Dollars Worth Of Tin Plate
Formerly Made in England Now
Being Made in America BY Americans
-MugwumPs Don't Like II.

Thene 10 a great deal to crafty the
friends of American industry in the re-
port OF Mr.. Aver, special agent of the
Treasury Department, on the subject
of tin plate manufacture. The hui
initiating argument that Americans
cannot manufacture tin plate has never
made any impression, except among
mugwumps and free traders who want
Great Britain to do the work for Amer
lea. The American people believe,
with good reason, hat Americans are
at least equal to any other nation in
skill and industry, and that, with a
tariff to protect it from unfair compe-
tition with the products of pauper Ia
Dor abroad, American labor will
hold its own against the world.
Mr.. Ayers report to Secretary Fos-
ter shows that under the stimulus of
the Mckinley law tin and terne plates
are being made by American m~anufact-
urers in commercial quantities, and
that they have been offered and pur-
chased in such quantities by American
consumers; that these plates have been
GA ClolvCly OCsCCo anu Jul S4uoA -
NO superior 10 foreign plates; that the
development of the new industry has
largely stimulated the manufacture of
black plates, and that firms have
turned their attention to the manu-
fscture Of machinery for tin and terne
plates. Forty-twO concerns are re-
ported Is now engaged in making tin
plate and sixteen of these are making
their own black plates,
Up 70 the passage of the Mckinley
law this country was dependent upon
Great Britain for tin plate. Many mil
lions of dollars which ought to ave
been expended in the employment OF
American la Dor went to Great Britain
to enrich British manufacturers and TO
pay British workingmen for doing
American work The Mckinley law
has given Americans a chance to do
their own work by giving them protec-
ton against English rates of wages.
The free traders have sneered and
scoffed and lave endeavored to belittle
the ability of Americans to enter upon
the tin plate industry. Abuse and sar-
casm have been lavished on all who
undertook the manufacture of Ameri-
a tin, and no language has been too
vicious or mendacious to apply to
those engaged in advancing the in
terests of all the people by maxi
ing America industriallyl independ-
emit.
The evidence presented of the prog
ress of the tin plate industry in Amer
lea ought to cover Russell, Mills and
their fellow opponents of American in
dustry with shame and confusion. But
it is not likely that they Will take any
thing back, nor does it matter whether
they do or not. The facts and figures
speak with a force that no free trade
bonbast can overcome. American tin
plate manufacture is fairly on the way
to take its place among those great in
dustries which are monuments to the
wisdom of the protective tariff.

THE OLD CHURCH As 1T Is TO-DAY.
The date of its erection was cut into
the hard, old bricks at two different
points 1t was the second church built
in Virginia. The first one, that at
Jamestown, has long since gone to
ruin. This building is without doubt
the oldest church building in America
erected by English speaking people.
The size is 3Ox5O feet and the tower
so feet tall. The walls are thick, in
good condition; the brick and mortar
are SO firmly joined together Is to defy
separation without breaking the brick.
The oldest well-defined grave in the
churchyard is that of Gen. Joseph
Bridger, who died in 1856, and whose
father built the church, which has
withstood the ravages of three wars.

struggle of 1860.
Three times it has been rerOofed.
and it is now undergoing repairs of =
very substantial and attractive nature
and bids fair to be useful as a church
for the next three centuries. Memorial
windows have been constructed for it
in England. and when again in shape
to use it will present a very attractive
appearance.
In this connection the fact is inter-
esting that the present county clerk Of
