THAT TIN MILL.

On the 14th Of August 1890,
when the thermometer was registering a
pretty high temperature in Washington.
Senator Higgins, speaking in favor Of
the tax on the tin industry said; 81
know Of no better place than my own
city Of Wilmington. know Of no more
favorable spot on this continent than
there, where water transportation and
steam come into the closest proximity
to the mines of coal and OF iron, as they do
in that neighborhood.
That sentence seems to need, or to be
filed with, something psychological
meaning mental or imaginary render
it clear to a plain man. But we inter.
pref IL to mean that this is a
good place for tin mill. We ap.
prehend that the only Senator
who listened to that speech, perhaps, by
previous arrangement, Senator Edmunds,
interpreted it. to mean that Wilmington
was good place for tin mill 1t does
not seem to mean anything else
But that speech was made three
years ago, and the only tin mill which
has been erected here is that
ETHEREAL establishment, attached as an
air castle TO the Mccullough Iron Works,
by the enthusiastic but too previous Daily
Republican. II this is such a good
place why have we no tin mills2
Senator Higgins doubtless had accu-
rate Information or he would not have
said what he said on that hot day IN
August three years ago But the fact
remains that no tin mill has been
started here, except the airy structure
which lasted long enough for an EVEN
ING JOURNAL reporter to call on Mr.
Mccullough, who said that the air castle
mill had been added, II at all. without
his knowledge or consent.
OF course we appreciate the fun Of this
situation. but that speech and Senator
Higgins's vote helped to increase the tax
on tin plate by 81, 500 600 per year, and
put tax Of cents pound on the raw
material or block tin. For what What
are the results There is no fun in 1t
And no mill.
Why did Senator Higgins make that
speech and cast that vote ? Did he have
what Mr.. Sperry calls knowledge, or
was be deceived about the tin industry.
and those tin mines Of Tumescal and the
Black Hills
Did he vote 10 increase that tax to
$4,000. 600 on wild and unsupported
theory for fad; or simply as a parti-
san II not, why have we not the tin

one Of the handsomest buildings IN the
city. II is now completed and has been
dubbed "The Gables"
The structure is of vitriied brick
and graystone. The design is every
thing that the lover of architectural
art could desire.
Il is five stories high and bow bay

the roof Mr.. Carpenter put about
$1S 600 in the venture.i
The house contains twenty-five bed
rooms and is fitted up with steam heat,
electric call bells, gas and chande-
liers in every room, bath
rooms and lavatories on each floor and a
library and smoking room on the second
floor with verandas connecting.
The property has been leased by Mrs.
John E. Orchard who has spent
$4,000 in furnishing it. the carpets
alone costing $1,000. The handsome
psflor is so large that 100 yards Of car.
pet are required. The bed rooms are
white-coated throughout, while the fur

Mrs Orchard has managed select
boarding houses in Albany, Brooklyn,
New York, and Amsterdam, N. Y, an

ALL history, all literature, all philos.
ophy, all law, all great statesmen have
given the lie to the fad Of protectionism
as exemplifed in the Mckinley bill.
Daniel Webster said:
The freest government cannot long
endure where the tendency Of the law is
to create rapid accumulation of prop.
erty in the hands of the few, and to
render the masses Of the people poor and
dependent.
The statesmen who have recently
influenced the affairs and enacted the
laws Of this country have attempted to
contrCvert that proposition and replace
it with the proposition, that, 1t is the
business Of free government TO bestow
favOrs upon the rich and powerful in
order that they may take care Of the poor
and make them more dependent.
That is the meaning Of protection, or at
least it is so interpreted in practice that
the rich get its benefits, escape its
burdens, and the poor get what may be
left, or get left" themselves. Protec-
tion promotes the rapid accumulation
in the hands Of a few, renders the masses
poor and dependent, and, as We bster
says, destroys free government. The
few rich use their increasing influence
TO enable them to compel the poor and
dependent to assist them to obtain
greater protection. What was the

the protectionists but a subversion OF

EARTHQUAKE IN ZANTE.
A Famous Island OF Greece is Severe
ly Shaken

The Island of Zanto was shaken early a
few mornings ago by an earthquake. In ths
town Of Zante many business houses were
wrecked, and the occupants ran in their night
clothes into the street. the roof of the prison
fell In and many prisoners were wound
ed. The guard was doubled to prevent
the prisoners escaping anu to suppress dis
order consequent upon the panic among
them. The walls OF the prison, which had
been sprung and cracked, were bracsd. The
hospital was shaken partly from its founda-
tions. All the floors settled and the roof
sank several feet
Two hours later the town was shaken by
repeated SHOCKS, houses fell in all quarters,
and the prison became SO unsafe that many
prisoners were removed. The people, IN
panic, fed from the houses and cro11ed the
streets and market place. scores OF fanI-
lies left the town to camp in the fields on
the outskirts
Many dead bodies were found in the
ruins, and hundred or more were reported
to have been injured severely. The Gov
eminent sent out troops with tents and
provisions for the relief Of the homeless.
