The Tinplate Industry
From Business Standpoint, with No
Politics i'm II.

From Business Standpoint, with No
Politics i'm II.
The n. & G.. Taylor company of Phila-
delphia, the oldest firm of tinplate import
ers in this country Established in 1870,
have recently completed in that city a
plant for the manufacture of tin plates of
all kinds, and they are now turning out
American tin plates at a rate of a complete
finished box per minute, and "of a better
quality and finsh," the firm state, than
we have received from Great Britain for
many years" The works are so arranged
that additions can be made from time to
time as the demand requires. In a circu-
lar letter, enclosing a description of the
works, the company say:
"To those newspaper publishers who
have endeavored to prevent the establish
ment of this great industry in this coun-
try, we can only say that their action must
be based upon entire ignorance of the
trade, or a desire to gain political notorie-
ty, for we do not believe the man exists,
who, with a clear knowledge of the indus
try, will honestly contend it is one that
could not or should not be carried on in
America with the same success as thous-
ands of others.
"There is nothing mysterious about the
manufacture of tinplate. 1t is simply
sheet iron or soft sheet steel, properly pre-
pared and coated with pure tin SOr uten-
sis, or a mixture of tin and lead for roof
ing purposes. Its value is regulated by
the quality and thickness of the iron or
steel the quality and quantity of metal
coating used, and the manner in which the
finished plate is made. The value of Amer
lean tin plates, therefore, consists in the
value of American sheet iron or steel, the
cost of the coating and the labor of COM
bining them.
"If America should purchase her tin
plate in Great Britain, then she should
close her industries and get all her sheet
iron and steel from the same source. If
America is to produce an article at the
same cost as the product of the pauper la
Dor of Great Britain, she can only do so
by paying the same wages. This we can
hardly think any one in America would
care to see realized. The superiority of
the American product has been quickly
and fully appreciated by the tinplate work
ers, who now give it the preference, and
thereby have created a demand which has
caused the output of American tnplate to
increase to such an extent that the sworn
returns of the manufacturers for the three
months ending Dec 81, 1892, show an in
crease of 22S per cent over the first
three months after the industry started,
tand an increase of 80 per cent over
the three months ending Sept. 30, 1892,
and each succeeding quarter is likely to ex-
hibit great progress in this important in
dustry."
There is no politics in this. 1t is a plain
business statement that tinplate can be
made in this country just as well as abroad,
giving employment TO millions of capital
and to thousands of workmen. From the
standpoint of ordinary business common
sense it is safe to predict that the new Con-
gress will go very slow in any legislation to
knock the new industry in the head.

Of the courts orders not to impair the eff
cheney of the Lake Shore service.
After disposing of the case against the
engineers the decision proceeds with that
upon the motion of the Ann Arbor com
pany for an injunction against the Lake
Shore and other connecting roads to pre-
vent those roads from refusing to accept
and haul freight offered them from the Ann
Arbor road. The bin for the injunction
was drawn to compel the enforcement of
that section of the interstate commerce
law which makes it unlawful for any COM
mon carrier to give undue preference to
any person, company or section of country,
or to exercise any unreasonable prejudice
against any such person, company or sec
tion, so far as traffic between the states is
concerned The finding is, in brief, that
boycotting of the kind here referred to is
illegal, and that members of the brother
hood who obey the rule of the order pro-
viding for such boycotting "become guilty
of criminal conspiracy against their coun-
try''-language which certainly seems to be
strong enough and sweeping enough.
The courts decision runs over the hap
penings during the strike, stating that
Chief Arthur sent kilograms to eleven
chairmen of the general adjustment COM
mittee, on as many different railways, noti-
fying them that legal strike was on, and
to obey the laws of the brotherhood. A
legal strike in brotherhood parlance means
one consented to by the grand chief. His
consent is necessary under the rules of the
order to enttlc the men thus out of en-
ployment to three months pay allowed to
striking members. Arthur admits that the
boycotting law to which he referred in this
despatch was one adopted by the brother
hood at Denver three years ago but which
is not published in the printed copy of the
constitution and bylaws.
The court sets up no claim that railroad
men may not resign and leave their places
whenever they choose to do so. 1t holds,
simply, that so long as a man continues in
the company's employment he must do the
work properly required of him. and not at
tempt to prevent the company from doing
what, under the interstate commerce law,
it is compelled to do. If employees do so
interfere then they may be dealt with by
injunction and punished as conspirators.
What will be the next step taken by the
engineers and their counsel is not known,
further than that both cases will at once
be carried to the courts of last resort.

Miss Clara Barton, president of the
American national Red Cross society, has
written a letter accepting the gift of Dr.
Joseph Gardner of square mile of lands
and buildings in southern Indiana, to be
used as headquarters for the society. Miss
Barton points out the interesting fact that
by international agreement this tract of
land will be the one piece of neutral
ground on the western hemisphere, as
forty nations have pledged themselves to
regard the Red Cross neutral in the event
of war.
The late Gen. E. Kirby Smith had the
distinction of being the last commander in
the army of the southern confederacy to
surrender, and so to end the armed rebel
lion against the United States. In recent
years his home was at Sewanee, Tenn,
where he was professor of mathematics in
the University of the South since 1875.
He was graduate of West Point and served
with distinction in the Mexican war and
against the Indians in Texas. His most
notable achievement in the civil war was
the defeat of Gen. Banks's Red River eX-
pedition.

RepubIican Gains i'm the West.

Hooker, Republican, was elected to the
supreme bench in Michigan Tuesday by a
plurality of 10000, and the Republican
candidates for regents won a still greater
victory, making strong gains in the Demo
cratic strongholds. In the town elections
in Kansas the Republicans swept every
thing where party lines were drawn. The
women of Kansas voted strongly against
the POpulist ticket. The Republicans
gained the first important victory in ST.
Louis for years, electing mayor and near
ly all of the city officers. The entire Dem.
ocratic ticket was elected in Chicago. Car
ter Harrison had 10000 plurality over AL
lerton, the allied-Republican and citizens
candidate for mayor.

4 TIme-NYorn Lie.

The time-worn ''million stamps lie still
survives and is likely to prove immortal.
People all over the country are trying to
accumulate 100000 Cancelled postage
stamps in the belief that standing offer
is made by the government or by some
body of big prize for such a collection.
Some think that $4,000 is the sum guar
anteed, while others imagine that the re-
ward is the endowment of a permanent bed
in hospital. The popular notion on this
subject being somewhat underlined, letters
asking about it are constantly received at
the post-office department. But no deni-
ais serve to destroy the widespread faith in
this srange chimera.-Philddelphid Press.

The loss which Joseph jefferson, the
actor, sustained by the swift and sudden
destruction of his summer home on Buz-
yards bay by fire last Saturday afternoon,
is one which cannot be estimated in dol
lars and cents. Besides the valuable house
and furniture, and ordinary personal be-
longings, it contained the large painting
which Mr.. jefferson had executed for the
Worlds Fair, several other of his own
paintings, a score of paintings by the old
masters, his wood carvings, his armor, his
library, and many interesting and individ-
ual objects. Mr. jefferson was in New
York in readiness to start for California
on professional tour when news of the
fire was received. He wasted no time in
mourning over the inevitable but, after be-
ing. assured of the safety of his wife and
the other members of the family who were
in the house, started on his western tour
with his son William, while his son Charles
Burke Jefferson returned to Buzzard' S
Bay. The worst grief to the family was
occasioned by the death in the flames of
the faithful woman who had served the
household as a cook for 20 years.

Ma,well,. A. Makes sIugwumps Mourn.

Boston Letter to the Springfield Republican,
1t is with extreme regret that the men
who are urgent for the reform of civil
service read of the wholesale removals of
fourth-class postmasters which are being
made by the ready ak of Headsman Max
well. The feeling is just as strong against
this vicious practice as it was against the
same policy under Clarkson, and prominent
men who supported Cleveland have no
more charity for the evil under a Demo-
cratic than under a Republican admins
tration. In fact, the assurances which
have been given of the purpose to extend
the civil-service rules and to follow the
spirit of the civil-service law makes such
doings as MaXwelrs all the more eXasper-
ating One of the active mugwumps of
the campaign of 1884, who has supported
Cleveland ever since, speaking today of
MaXwell's policy, said that 'he ought to
be snaked out of his Office 1t is already
proposed to enter formal and vigorous
public protest against this policy of remov-
al for political reasons, and unless there is
a change the administration will lose rapid
ly in the good will which it evoked when it
was said that the claims of office-hunters
would not be suffered to interfere with the
public business.

mayor, councilmen and members of the
school board. In nearly all the towns
straight Republican tickets were nominal

course of the Populists in trying to steal

From the Springfield Republican,

Robert T. Lincoln will return from En-
gland with an increased reputation, and it
will be remembered that in all his public
acts he has shown an ability equal to each
occasion. This modest son of a great man
has now fully won recognition for himself,
and it will no longer do to say that honors
came to him for his fathers sake. Mr..
Lincoln has won standing of his own
merits. He may become a lively possibility
in future Republican national conventions,
especially if the demand for new depart
ure in party policy should gain strength
and become widespread. There are no an
tagonism sgrowing out of the political past
to be reckoned with in his future.

''The farmers of jefferson, St. Law
renee, Lewis and Franklin counties, n. Y,

world" So othe Carthage Recorder asserts.
Assuming the statement is correct, the
farmers of the four counties in question
are heartily to be congratulated upon doing
much to make life worth living Every
schoolboy knows that man who makes
two cakes of maple sugar grow where one
grew before is a public benefactor Peace
hath her victories no less renowned than
those of war, and the finest maple sugar is
among the best fruits of peace's triumphs.

statement. The finest maple sugar in the

A Contrary Opinion.

There can be no doubt, we think, that it
will be both illegal and unwise for any dis
trict having surplus on hand to divide it
among the taxpayers of the district at the
present time.-PhGnir, March 81.
The law in force up to April l, 1898,
provided for the distribution of the public
school money among the districts on the
oath of March. This money, together with
the tax raised by the district, goes to de-
fray the expenses of the district for school
purposes for the year ending March 81,
1898. According to the law of 1892 if the
money so raised should be insufficient to
pay the expenses so incurred, the district
must raise tax to meet such deficiency.
Now if any district should be so fortunate
as to have a surplus l see-no reason either
in law or equity to prevent dividing il
among the taxpayers of the district.
Westminster West, April 4, '93.

The capital and labor question, and the
question of the rights of the public as af-
fected by labor disputes, strikes and com
binatons, is getting attention from the
courts in various ways just now. At Pitts
burg, Pa, Monday, officials of the builders
exchange of that city were found guilty of
conspiracy by jury for combining in re-
straint of trade and preventing contractors
not members OF the exchange from getting
material, The judge referred to the labor
difficulties of the past year and said strikes
and combinations of capital were pernicious
and against public policy and becoming too
frequent for the country's good, adding:
" A laboring man has the right to say he
will work for certain sum and not a cent
less, and employers have right to say
they will pay certain sum and not a cent
more; but no man has right to say to his
fellow-workman that he must not work for
a certain man, and employers have no
right to form combinations for the restraint
of trade"

The Washington correspondents have it
that Mr.. Cleveland is carrying his idea of
running his administration himself to such
length that his cabinet ministers, and
especially Secretaries Gresham and Car
Isle, are growing very restive, and are say
ing that they wish themselves back in their
old places. The President insists, it is said,
on having all appointments in the different
departments submitted to him for approval
even to the minor ones. The other day,
the story goes, Mr. Carlisle sent a messen-
ger to the White House to say that he had
selected a certain man for an unimportant
place, and was taken aback when his note
was returned with the laconic endorse
ment, 81 have selected man for this
place myself. G. c." Mrs. Carlisle is
represented as telling friend that her hus-
band is nothing more than one of the

The essential point about which the
main contest will be fought, when the Ann
Arbor cases reach the supreme court, will
be the ruling of Judges Kicks and Taft
which declares that
"All persons combining to carry out rule
II of the brotherhood THE boycott rule
against the complainant company, if any
one of them does an act in furtherance of
the combination, are punishable under the
law. For Arthur to send word to the com
mittee of chairmen to direct the men to re-
fuse to handle interstate freight, and for
the men to refuse to handle the freight, or
threaten to quit or actually quit, in order
to induce the defendant companies to vio-
late the penal section of the interstate COM
merce law, would render them liable to the
penalty of the section"
The issue is clearly made, and the courts
decision ought to set the public mind right
on a subject which is now very hazy.
