The policy which the Anti-liQnor
League has announced. if carried out,
will go n long way to nullify the
prominence Of the saloon In Indiana
politics. Heretofore those people who
have fought the evil by organizing a
third party have proved the most effect
i've allies of the saloon-a fact which
the leaders of the saloon in politics
realize. The Anti-liquor League pro-
poses to work inside existing parties by
selecting. from the candidates pre-
scented. those who will oppose the en-
croachments of the saloon in politics.
In this city, not only is large majority
of the people opposed to the open
saloon on Sunday, but many of the
saloon keepers are in favor of the clos
ing law. Now a large part of them are
open on Sunday, because they control
the Board of Public Safety. which they
could not do If the people opposed to
Sunday saloons and gambling houses
would elect Mayor pledged to law and
order.

THE House of Representatives did it's
duty yesterday in a number of i'm
portant matters. and the Journal ten
ders congratulations as sincere as they
are hearty. The pernicious gas bill.
against which this paper has devoted so
much space and energy, was buried in
the House, and all that remains to be
done on that subject is to lay it's twin
monstrosity, the Smith Senate bill, in
the grave beside it. 1t was close
vote. but. though the majority was
not so wide as a barn-door. it was
enough. Representatives know how
they have heard from the gas corpora
tons on this subject, night and day, for
a week; they would have heard from the
people for year had the measure passed.
The House also passed the Soldiers
Hcme bill. the street-car paving bill.

THE GROWTH OF A GREAT INDUSTRY.

The Journal yesterday printed the
substance of an official report by spe-
cial agent of the Treasury Department
in regard to the present status of the
tln-plate industry in this country. We
venture the assertion that the history
of the world does not present parallel
to the rapid growth of new industry
as shown by the facts stated.
The Mckinley tariff law gave the tin
plate industry seven years in which to
establish itself in this country. 1t
placed duty of 2 10 cents per pound
on foreign tin plate for period of seven
years, and provided that ar the end of
that period foreign tin plate should be
admitted free, unless it should be made
to appear to the satisfaction of the
President that the aggregate quantity
OF tin plate produced in the United
from 1891 to 1897 eQualed one third of
the amount of such plates imported and
entered for consumption during any
fiscal year in that period. In other
words, in order to secure continuance
OF the duty it must be made to appear
that during one year of the above period
we have produced one-third as much
tin plate as we have imported during
one year. Under this encouragement
and pledge the manufacture of
American tin plate began. The in
creased duty on tin plates took effect
July 1, 1891, and has therefore been in
force less than two years. Eighteen
months ago there was not tin plate
factory in the United States, yet the re-
port of Special Agent Ayres shows that
during the last quarter of 1892 there
were thirty-two factories in operation
and the product was 1876, 491 pounds.
During the previous quarter the total
product was 1O.952.725 pounds. showing
an increase of S,SO3.766 pounds in three
months. The report further shows that
during the first six months of the pres
ent fiscal year, that is. from July to
Dec. 81, 1892, our total product of tin
plates was 3O.709,2l6 pounds. against
2,236,7 pounds during the first six
months of the last fiscal year. The en-
tire production during the last fiscal
year was 1885, 19 pounds, or consider
ably less than one-half the amount pro-
duced during the first six months OF the
present fiscal year. Special Agent
Ayres thinks, and the figures seem to
justify the belief, that at the present
rate of increase we will produce this
year one third as much as we import.
According to the terms of the law that
will insure the continuance of the duty
and the permanency of tho industry.
Although the Democratic carty is
pledged to free trade. and especially tn
repeal of the duty on tin, we do not
believe it will dare to repeal duty
under which SO important an industry
has sprung up in so short time. The
law requires that whenever it shall be
made to appear to the satisfaction of the
President that our production of tin
plates in q year amounts to one-third of
our imports of the article he shall, by
proclamation, make known the fact. 1t
looks very much as il before another
year has passed that duty will devolve
on President Cleveland. 1t will be gall
and wOrmwOod to Democratic Presi-
dent to have to issue such proclama-
ton. y

GOVERNMENT statistics recently is
sued show that during the year 1892. the
second year of the operation of the Nc
Kinley law, our exports amounted to
secs, 237. O32. as against Ss45, 900, 603 in
1890. Our imports of dutiable goods de-
creased in the same period from 1884,
$50, 1896 to 1898. 94S. $50, while our imports
free of duty increased from S2SS. 528. 1913
to 1882, 23s. 500. In 1890 our imports free
of duty constituted 80 per cent. of the
whole, while in 1892 they were 55 per
cent. of the whole. The large increase
of domestic exports and the decrease of
dutiable imports are indicative Of
American prosperity, while the large
increase in imports free of duty shows
that in this as in other respects the Me-
Kinley tariff has been grossly misrepre-
scented and shamefully lied about.
