mas be TO say that be shall be a dictator

His pretext that Fitzsimmons is out Of
his class is nonsense II be is, so much
the better for Corbett, for he eau win
the money just as easily as be did from
Mitchell. The proposition made by
Fitzsimmons 10 Corhett is fair and
should be accepted in good faith. My
opinion is that Fitz,immons can give
Corbett the best fight be ever had. My
opinion Of C0rbett is that he is afraid 10

Fitzsimmons be will lose the esteem OF
the American people as their champion

PHILADELPHIA, September 29.-Wm.
NJ. Singerly, Democratic candidate Tor
Governor, and the other candidates on
the State ticket we're formally notified
Of their nomination to-day. Candidate
Singerly's letter of acceptance, which
speaks for the entire ticket, is short aud
TO the point. In IL ne says;
1--WE accept the nominations and en-
dorse the platform approved by the
convention. Tariff reform, honest
money, frugal federal, State and mu-
niciDal government are aims worth
fighting for. When we shall 0e able TO
divorce politics from business so as 70
let the people do their own banking,
trading, carrying aud manufacturing,
precisely as we allow them TO do their
own farming, without meddleSOme dis
elimination, for or against any special
interest, and only restricted by such
few general laws as are necessary for
the public safety and welfare, there
will be q return of settled prosperity.
The people can take care Of themselves.
Legislation which promotes capitallstic
aggregatiOus, SypdiCates, trusts and
political combinations for the purpose
OF plunder, promotes counter organiza-
tions Of the p.undered and disorgauizeS
society. A resumption OF similar JefTeT-
sonian methods In which nothing shall
Ue undertaken by the Government
which may be accomplished by indi-
vidual exertion should be the basis Of
Democratic effort To this end let US
unitedly strive. When the Fathers de-
clared the people were capable of self
government, they meant it in the
strictest sense of the phrase"

A SCHEME TO CUT WAGES
Tin Plate Mills All Over the Country Close
Down Indsinitsiy.

Down IndsiiassiJ.
PITTsBURG, September 29.-To-night
all the tin plato plants in the country
will close down apd there is no indlca-
ton as to when they will again be put
in operation. There is q wide difference
between the manufacturers and workers
on the subject of wages and the latter
insist that, Notwithstanding the reduc-
ton of the duty, the wages agreed upon
in June can be paid the remainder OF
the scale year.
Two important reasons are given Tor
the action taken by the Manufsctprers
Association. One is that the closing
of the factories Is 10 discourage pros
pective builders of tin plate plants.
There are at least ten In course OF erec-
ton, while manufacturers Of tin plate
machinery are enlsrging their works. III
was decided to put up some OF these
factories after II was known that the
cut 10 the duty would be one cent per
pound.
Another reason given by the manu-
facturers is that under Secretary Car
isles ruling, 46.O00,0 coo pounds OF TIN
plate now in bond can be put on the
market on Monday bY paying the new
tariff OF l 2-lO cents per pound. THIS
Will supply all demands for some time
10 come. On the other hand the work
ers assert that the smut down is merely
a scheme of the manufacturers TO com
pei their employees 10 work for lower
wages.
SWANSEA. September %. 1t is ru-
mored here that there is q movement
on foot to strike a blow at the tin plate
trade OF the United States. IL being
contended that the Americans cannot
produce certain plates without welsh
labor, the representatives OF labor In
Wales are inviting the return TO that
country Of all makers OF tin plate In
America, who have been discharged
from their positions, or whose wages
have been reduced as consequence OF
the adoption OF the new tariff.

PIrrsBURG, PA, Septeflber 29.-The
Carnegie Steel Company pbsIed notices IN
the Homestead works th3 a. on January l
the scale for the coming y BAR will De read
iusted.
Prior to the strike Of 1899 the scale ex-
pired in June and this was one OF tho
points on which the strike was bitterly
fought. The company contended that II
suited better 10 have the expiration near
the end of the year, when tne contracts
for the next year were being planned.
After the strike that date was adopted
by the company and the men had TO agree
TO II. One proviso of the scale signing was
that either side was bound TO give the
other three months notice Of any desired
change in the scale. This the company has
complied with by posting the notices be-
fore October lst.
When the.scale was signed last year,
there was q big reduction ia the wages OF
the tonnage men as well as other emyloyes
of the company IL ranged from 10 10 %
per cent and created great deal Of dis
satisfaction among the men The turns
were also changed Men who had been
working on eight hour turns were
placed on twelve hour turns for the
same and in some instances less money.
The notice posted to-day merely announced
that the scale will be readiusted, but
makes no reference 10 whether a reduction
will take place or not. The tonnage men,
however. look for a reduction but have no
idea how great II will be.
The worRmen claim that the company Is
not compelled 10 make reduction since IL
mas all the work on hand that eau be
handled.
