 "'Not much,' said. Then, sir, in less than two minutes afterward, raised a glass of water to my lips, blew across the top of it, said Here's luck,' and tossed it off with that grace and abandon which you know so we'll. That's what spoiled my vacation"

American consuls abroad are supposed to represent the United States and not to misrepresent them. As rule they do what they can to promote American inter ests by studying foreign markets and fur nishing practical advice to exporters. But David 0. Davies, who represents the United States at Swansea, Wales, has proven to be an exception. In reply to inquiries about tin plate works in Ohio, Indiana and Missouri, MT. Davies said:
 "All fake, sir; all fake! There is one, I believe, in Indiana, which-has been since closed, The one in Missouri was supposed to be huge affair, but in consequence of a bet the great industry was subjected to an inquiry which showed that all the people employed were a boy and a girl, who were engaged in dipping black plate imported from Wales. The cause of the failure to make tin plates in America is not in the cost of labor. They can turn out the plates as cheaply, but they can't make them as good. After forty eight hours use or so the tin begins to get rusty"
 This man should have known that there are three manufactories of tin plate in h. diana and fffty-six firms engaged in the business in the United States, and that it | is growing and thrifty industry The Iron Age recently said editorially: ssThe quality of American tin plates generally is so good that consumers prefer them, ask for them, and take imported plates with reluctance if they cannot get domes- tic."
 The official figures of the treasury de. partment show that in the two and one. half years, from July 1, 1891, to Decem. Der 31, 1899, there were made in this country 437, ,263, 426 pounds of tin and terne plates and that more than 46 pei cent. of the product was from American
 black plate.

Under the head of REFORM the
Tallahasseean gets off the following
lot of very sickly, iron-bound, moss
Recovered rubbish:
We hear the cry of reform on
all sides reform in politics, in reli-
gion, in teaching, in Office holding, in
business methods, ETC., etc., but it is
not every one who raises that cry that
is honestly imbued with its spirit, for
selfish hypocrites have sought in this
way to accomplish their nefarious pur-
poses ever since the livery of heaven
was first stolen to serve the devil in.
Real reform does not make great
noise over matters of little importance
to divert attention from more serious
measures and questions. But it ac-
complishes its purposes by strict adj
herence to the principles of truth and
justice. 1t works in broad, open day
light, and does not require secrecy to
promote its success.
We read of reform democrats, but
such are usually disappointed office
seekers, or political adventures with
all to gain and nothing to lose, con-
trolled by selfish promptings, and re-
gardless of right and justice.

Fre zeal idol who could do
no wr~ng, Cleveland is rapidly de-
scending to political Jonah, aud IS
lArgeIy held responsible for the great
democratic slump
For instance the Memphis CONNER
ciaI-Appcal says that no democrat
should ever get too dignified to help
the democratic party when it is in
peril, and such action has never here
tofore been regarded as unbecoming
the Chief Executive, who is also the
head of his party. The democratic
party is more important to the coun-
try than anybody's dignity"
The st. Paul Morning Call says Of
course Mr.. Cleveland must be the
Judge of his own conduct. but the ma
jority of the Americans people will re-
gard his course as dictated by degree
Of petty spite unbecoming in a man
who makes the pretentions he does to
unseltishness and patriotism.
And the Philadelphia Times re-
marks that the singlar spectacle was
presented of a democratic President
Withholding his approval of the dem
ocratic organization and candidates in
his own city and state, thus proclaim
ing to the country that either the
President has no party or the party
has no President. A party thus de-
moralized from center to circumfer-
ence entered the battle without hope,
and logically emerged from it not only
to be defeated, but routed.

Hon. G. b. Collins, Of Tallahassee,
etate treasurer of Florida, iii an inter.
view with the Jacksonville correspon-
dent Of the Atlanta Constitution, said
that in his opinion the present cleo
ton law III Florida should be repealed
in order to give the white republicans
of the state fair show--if for no
other purpose. These white repubii-
cans he said, should be permitted
to give an expression of their political
opinions at the polls, and ! believe
that This eight-ballot-box law will be
repeated by the Legislature in 1895. In
fact, the democratic state platform
calls for its repeal. / hear that the
Hon. Tom Reed, of Maine. has already
given notice that if republican con-
tests are made in the next house from
districts where the eight-ballot-b box
law or other similar statutes are in
force the democratic representatives
will be unseated with little, il any,
ceremony. ] have personal knowledge
where three votes were counted to one
that was cast. A law that permits
frauds of such a kind ought to be
wiped off the statute books without
delayn
In this connection, the correspon-
dent goes on further to say,
that the friends Of Florida, who
are most anxious to promote inn
migration thither, encounter a formid-
able obstacle when prospective inves-
tors or home seekers make inquiry
about this same election law. It's ill
fame has gone abroad and no expIana-
tons will satisfy northern and western
people when the existence of this law
has to be admitted by immigration
agents. This statute is to-day the
most serious bar to the progress and
development of Florida.
Speaking further on the election law
Treasurer Collins said: ~ think that
the next legislature will pass an cleo
ton law embodying the most inn
proved features Of the Australian ball
lot system. Such bill was before the
last legislature and had many jealous
supporters, but failed of a passage.
OF course we may expect the legisla-
tors from the back counties to oppose
the new law and stand almost solidly
for the retention Of the present mi
quitous one, for as yet they have not
grown away from the bugbear at ne
gro domination. In my opinion, too,
the poll tax prerequisite law will have to
come off the books at the same time

g Protsction', ii Another PORN

We quote the following from the
Jacksonville Metropolis Of last salur-
day.
Charles Al wheeier. the manager Of the sell
ing 81 Railroad wrecked Clothing. in the No
hawk block has had hard time Of il since he
opened this week
First he was ordered 10 take ont city license
for $3.50 which he did. Then the city treasurer
yesterday demanded peddlers license at cost
Of $780, which was also paid, and the sale of
mems clothing proceeded.
J. r. Johnson state and county collector Of
taxes, was asked if wheeier's business did not
come under the state law of peddler's license
He wrote 70 Tallahassee for information yester-
day, ana At II a. m today received the following
dispatch In reply
TALLAHAssEE, Nov. 74-Iso4
j. r johnson. TAX Collector. Duval county
Your letter to the governor was referred 10 this
lection given by law. Your letter shows that
Wheeler IS doing business Of a peddler and should
have peddier's license.
Mr.. johnson went immediately to wheeIer,s
store and informed Wheeler that he must pay for
a peddler's license, s45o.z5. or cease selling.
This is the same theory of ''protec-
tom against which the democratic
party has pretended to make such a
serious lifelong and stubborn fight.
Who Is benefited by this sale? Why
the whole army Of consumers. Who
is protected by it? Why, as many
merchants, perhaps, as you can count
on your fingers.
If q man is too poor to buy or rent
a building and puts pack on his
back and tramps through the country
to sell his .meagre wares-he at once
is treated as common enemy and is
taxed to death on the theory that the
''rich merchant like the srich man
ufacturer" must be protected and
the poor ground to the very earth.
When will the day ever come that
the laws will be enacted for the bene-
fit Of the poor instead of the rich?
AS long as this peddler's tax-which
is tax against the poor mana tax
to protect the rich merchandise
Florida democrat who uphoIds it
should hide his face in very shame
when he says one word against the
policy Of protection" preached by
the republican party.
Both taxes have the same end in
view: To benefit the rich and to
grind the poor.
