To the Editor of the Globe.
L wish to correct a statement or two
that have lately appeared in your
paper.
First-The statement that I made
on the petition sent to the chairman
of the judiciary committee that bus
mess men declined signing for fear of
retaliation" ETC., was emphaticallv
true; but as to its being against Judge
Ives is not correct. AS it proves the
assertion so often made that the
sporting fraternity and the tough
element'-and their friends-are very
desirous of impeachment, and they will
stoop to anything, no matter how de-
spicable, to accomplish their ends.
Second-The fact that seventy-four
of the better class of our citizens did
sign petition favorable to Judge Ives
almost Identical to the one L circulated.
and that another man circulated a re-
monstrance, and personal insinuation
against my business record" and that
my record has not been In harmony
with this man and his supporters. but
has been in favor of morality, law and
reform in municipal affairs, proves
eonclusfvely that the circulator and
signers of said petition are opposed to
Judge Ives attempt to purify the
moral atmosphere of our city.
Third rejoiced to have it known
that l am not one Of those business
men, and 1 hope you will give this

have the former. Respectfully,

FREE WOOL

We have noted with amusement
the reception by the organs of pro-
lection of the report Of Consul Meek
er giving an account of the importa-
ton into England of American chew
lots. It was first treated as some
canard unworthy of credence, then.
When forced to admit it as a fact, it
was accounted for as other EXPORTS
OF protected wares were, q surplus
sent out for sale at sacrifice prices
TO relieve the glut. Then, when it
was shown that it was a bona fide
transaction, made after exhibition
OF samples, and that the goods were
sold fourpence a yard under English
prices Tor similar goods, it was
!; finally treated as little thing about
which there was no need of making
so much fuss.
LII is, however, a very significant
matter, more so than the invasion
last year of England with American

nave to wear WoolenS who can get
along without carpets. 1t is cor
roborative of the predictions made
by free traders Of the effect of free
ing wool from import taxes. reliev-
ing our makers of surcharged cost
OF their raw material and enabling
them to compete on even terms. It
Is yet too soon to have the effect
extend to and become apparent in
advancing wool prices, but that is
inevitably bound to follow, as with
the export trade will grow the for
elgn trade in woolens made from
mixed and domestic woods.
Free wool has come to stav. TT
already affects and lowers the home
price OF woolens and ready-made
clothing, and this is an object lesson
people Will not care to unlearn. AS
yet the maker of woolens is too
highly protected with the tax of from
~ TO 80 per cent, and he is demon
strating, as in this shipment of chew
lots, that he needs no protection he

of our currency and contracting it
to that extent. Individually, the loss
was small, but in the aggregate the
amount must have been large to the
holders here of Canadian silver.
This depreciation was not due to any
less metallic value Of the coins, but
because there was no compulsion of
law behind them to oblige their ac-
ceptance at more than their inherent
value.
Another illustration is the value of
the Mexican dollar in this country.
Before the war, when our silver min
ers We're passing by our minis in
scorn on their way to a better mar
ket for their bullion, these dollars
of our sister republic were all we
had in our currency. They are now
merely a commodity, quoted in the
market reports at around so cents
each, and, when taken as money,
received only at their market value.
In Mexico legal tender act compels
their reception at face value, but
fact lost sight of by those who talk
so glibly of the credit of the gov
eminent, puissance of law, the abil-
1ty of this country to legislate for
itself independently of all other ma
lions, and SO on, is that the Mexican
government cannot compel men to
sell their products on a silver basis.
and the dollar there buys only so
cents worth of product.

THE THREE DIVISIONS.

The advocates Of free silver fall
readily into distinct classes. First,
there are the miners of silver, who
very naturally, if alphabetically,
want the price Of their product dou-
bled and want the government to
do the doubling. Next come the
land boomers, with their equities in
dirt, paying interest on mortgages
on boom-priced lots, whose only eS-
cape from financial wreck is in a re-
currence of speculation and imitation,
and who are willing to try any rem
edy, however desperate. Then there
I are the debt-laden business men who
bit off more than they could masti-
cate, and who are willing to take
their chances of getting out of the
resulting collapse if they can have
few years of flush times again.
Then there are the demagogueS
pure and simple, but not simple, who
want some new issue. There are Re-
publicans trying to dodge the tariff,
who think they see the silver lining
of their clouds in the silver question,
loaded Populist, who has run his
course in every other party, and
sees no hope for him unless it is in
some new upheaval, on whose first
wave he, like other scum, can float
into seat at the official pie counter.
Then there is the Democratic dem
agogue - there are some of these
IN no
doesn't care for abroad" or
currency or anything, only so he
can get there, who is impressed with
the noise the few make, and jumps
onto the silver band wagon so as to
retain his hold
And then there is the great nebulous
mass, pinched with the pressure OF
hard times, incomes diminished,
debts accommodating, money hard to
get, confused with the clamor, i'm
pressed with the idea that we, in
these days, can do what all others
have failed in trying to do; not
knowing, perhaps, that other peo-
pies have tried with disastrous re-
suits the same kind of experiments;
who think that there may be some
thing in this talk of the effect of sill
yer characterization after all, and,
we'll, things can't be worse off any
how, and let's try it. So between
them all the clamor rises and the
dust thickens and the silver kings
chuckle, and the demagogues rub
their hands in glee, and it looks as
II we are going gaily, recklessly,
h1lariously down the rapids for a
plunge over the Niagara at the end.

RESULTS WHERE TRIED

THE Y. Nj. CTS APPEAL,

Because we are Democrats we do
not believe in reformation by COM
pulsion. We don't believe that any
young man or woman was ever
kept from going astray because any
legislative body, big or little, had
said BE it enacted" Such laws are
weak reeds bound to bend and
break under the weight of those
who lean on them.
Any man or woman is the product
of two forces, the developing germ
of innate character, influenced by its
environment. Character can't be
made different, but it can be mod
flied by environment A leopard's
spots may fade under the sunlight,
but they stay. So believing and
reasoning, we look with favor and
wish well all the voluntary efforts
making to surround our youth with
those environments which will help
the development of those qualities
which make the good man and
woman, the good citizen; which
stimulate the growth of the moral
fiber. And such efforts we believe
should appeal strongly to all who
love their fellows and would help
them on to better lives.
prominent among these efforts
stands the Young Mems Christian
association. Its purposes are noble,
its objects those which concern
every citizen, the creation of good
citizens out of our youth. 1t shared

prosperity that wrecked so many. 1t

already accomplished gives reason
to believe that her ambitions are
founded upon something stronger
than fancy.
The quality which is most likely
to be found lacking in the whistled
note is sympathy, and Miss Hamil-
ton recognizes this deficiency. She
is inclined to place the sympathetic
force of the Whistled tone some
where between the effects evolved
from the string instruments and that
which comes from wind Instruments.
She says that in so far as whistling
advances in purity of tone, technical
skill, and freedom it approaches the
beauty of the strings, although she
acknowledges its limitations.
The greatest obstacle which is to
be overcome in the study of whist
ling, according to Miss Hamilton, is
that it must be pursued without the
aid of established methods. When
she first entered upon her studies
in the West she received instruction
through the medium of the flute,
but such study could never rise
above direct imitation Realizing
that, with the exception of the vocal
chords, Whistling results from the
exercise of the same organs neces-
sary to singing, she finally adopted
vocal instruction, although she is
not singer. She singles out phras-
ing, breathing and technique, and
apples them in another direction.
Several hours practice each day has
rendered her technical skill equal to
that with which the piccolo can
be played. and the consequent train
ing of the ear has developed to an
unusual degree the purity of tone
There is beauty in Miss Hamilton's
Whistling which is lacking in MANY
professional performers. The tone is
soft and birdlike and peculiarly pure
in quality. The sustained note. which
Is always attained with difficulty. IS
true and contains no trace of the
tremulo or vibrato. Constant practice
mas enabled her to give the tone the
subtle standings which belong to vocal
music and to bring within the range
or her abilities the works of the great
composers.
Yet Miss Hamilton does not feel
that she has mastered the gift which
she is attempting to make artistic: on
the contrary she says that she has
only just begun.

TIN PLATE INDUSTRY.
Death of McKinleyism Didn't
Stop It's Growth.


BALTIMORE, Md, March 81
The Manufacturers Record of this
week publishes a compilation by
John Jarrett, secretary of the Tin
Plate Manufacturers Association Of
the United States, showing the
growth of the tin plate industry in
this country. Mr.. Jarrett's report
states that there are now in this
country, completed and in course of
construction, fifty-four tin plate
works. The capacity of these works
will exceed an annual production
of 260, 900 tons of finished product,
and will furnish employment to H.
900 or $4,000 hands. The capital in
vested is about $S,500,000 and the
wages paid will be about $1,000, 900 a
year. These figures pertain only to
the manipulation of reducing the
billet in some cases, but the bar,
in most cases, to finished products,
and do not include the amount of
labor from the ore to the billet and
bar, which is very extensive. The
mills already fully completed have
a capacity of over 10000 tons of
finished product, and employ 1000
to 5000 hands, with an investment
of SIS ,500,0
Mr.. Jarrett says: when we re-
member that less than four years ago
no tin plates were made in this coun-
try, the marvellous growth of the in
dustry is certainly phenomenal. No
other manufacturing industry, so far
as have been able to discover, has
ever made such progress in the same
period of time

Investment company, composed of r.
II. Rochester, chairman; r. U. Walk
er, secretary, and George Burnham,
treasurer, have submitted plan of re-
organization to the stock, mortgage
and debenture holders of the company.
The plan contains the following state
mentS:
That under proper management
or the property much can be saved for
both creditors and stockholders.
z. That under like management
there need be no such sacrifice of the
general estate as must result from a.
forced sale to outside purchasers, and
that therefore, the general estate
should be bought in by ourselves.
3. That substantial value remains in
the business and that it is capable Of
preservation
we propose to unite all Eastern and
western agents in a company, to
whose preferred capital stock they will
be permitted to subscribe, and to which
they will be asked to transfer, whether
subscribers or not, all the collection
business they may be able to control.
TO such agents will he paid as now
and always, commission on the bust
ness done, payable as collected. g
There are now outstanding about
5000 mortgages of an average face
value of $1,000, bearing $50 annual in
terest each. The agents of the Con-
cord1a company have turned in about
$25,OO0,0O0 out of the $35, 600, 900 mort
cages outstanding at the date of the
receivership.
