Democrats Do Not Like to Talk of
the Tin-Plate Industry.
Kansas City Journal.

If you want to make a good, faithful
Democratic paper malone of those organs

sistencies of it's party. with only now and
then a spasmodfc rebellion against some Of
its pernicious and unpatriotic policies-just
dry subject and yet the latest news regard
ing the present status Of that industry
makes rather interesting reading. when you
peruse it i'm the light of the derision with
which the matter has always been treated
by. the Democratic press When the Re
publican party took the first steps which
led to the establishment of the industry
heard from Maine to California went up
months. through Republican legislation.
there were five firms in business and they
turned out S26. 1922 pounds of tin and terne
plates. But in the fall Of 1892 there were
thirty-two firms. and during the year just
passed they had turned out a product Of
$50. 724 pounds.
These figures were reluctantly printed in
the Democratic papers and were showed
away off down in the conner, while the edi-
torial pages still bristle with alleged jokes
and the style of the pirafores worn by this
infant industry, which, according to the
Democratic press, had to be raised In an
incubator and warmed into life by all sorts
of artificial appliances.
But now the latest figures regarding this
vigorous youngster show that there are
fifty-four tin plate factories In operation
and during the past year they turned out
260. 900 tons of tin plate: 1900 men are en-
ployed at good wages and 100000 was paid
out during the year to the ~tin-plate work
men. Not very bad for a iye-year-old.
raised on a bottle.
But there is no probability that the DEM
ccratic press will give any prominence to
the growth of this important industry. The
Jokes will still be made. Facts cut little
figure with the Democratic press when a
theory is at stake. There isn't any such
thing as a tin-plate industry In this coun-
try and those Welshmen who complain that
they cannot get enough work by reason
of the American competition don't know
what they are talking about.

other vital issues OF 1892. President Har-
rison's policy was made clear in his mes
sages and speeches, not simply because
they are his. but because the party and its
leaders accepted them as authoritative.
These utterances run from 1889 TO 1885,.
They cover the entire period in which he
was President and extend over the repeal
act. They form one consistent whole. They
show readiness to aid the safe
and legitimate use of silver,
but a rooted determination not to
permit this use to alter the parity of all
parts of our currency, and at the close
they accept international action as the only
safe path to bimetallism. This is the rec
ord of Benjamin Harrison: but il is much
more than this. 1t is the record of the Re-
publican party. 1t voices the consistent
and continuous action and utterance of its
leaders. 1t is the only safe national policy.
and as such il is supported to-day by the
great majority of the American people ana
