"SOUNDv MONEY CAMPAIGN.

EdDatsnds and Trenholm Make Speeches
at Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May 2S.-The
opening gun of the sound money cam
paign in the East was fired tonight at an
enthusiastic public meeting in the Acad-
envy of Music. The affair was under the
management OF group of the best-known
financial and business men of the country.
George B. Roberts, president of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, was
chairman. The principal speakers of the
evening were ex-United States Senator
George F. Edmunds, ex-Comptroller of
Currency William L. Trenholm, Congress-
man Michael D. Harter of Ohio ex-Min-
lister to Russia Charles Emery Smith and
James Wharton.
In the beginning Mr.. Edmunds said the
sound money question must be decided by
political action, not party action, but that
kind of action the Romans used to speak
of when no man was for party, but all for
the state. Quoting Thomas Jefferson's
words, "The whole art of government
consists in the art of being honest, he said !;
That phrase is worthy to be written in letters
of gold and placed in front of every public
edifce in every hamlet on the continent. In a
careful report prepared for the benefit of the
first Congress Jefferson said that the question
of the difference between the value of gold and
silver as money was purely a commercial
question. 1t did not depend on legislation or
the fancy and tastes of man, but on commences
which regulates the price Of commodities.
The speaker then discussed the variation
in value of the two metals, saying:
Ii any faith can be put in human experience
it ought to teach us that we cannot make q CIV
en- amount of silver worth any more when it is
printed at the mint with the stamp of the
United States than it was before. When the
act of 1873 was passed to stop silver coinage
all the principal countries of Europe were
coming to have a single standard, gold. Ii the
last Congress had passed on March 3, the
last day of its session, what is now vo-
cifeIously demanded by the free coinage
people every owner and producer of silver
bullion would take his ounce of silver to
the mint worth 63O4 cents and get ST. 1929,
and having got more than two silver dollars
for his ounce of silver. he would come to the
workingmen to whom he owes for labor and
say: "If l bought it in metal it would have
taken ten pounds, but have taken the bene-
fit of the United States offer and had it
stamped and you must take five pounds off it,"
Ex-Comptroller Trenholm, during his
remarks, declared it would be found that
the issue now confronting US has become
serious only because the two political
parties have at one time or another, and
on one plea and another. courted the sup
port of those whe entertained, or affected
to entertain the idea, that the coinage of
silver dollars is so essential to the welfare
and happiness of the people of the United
States that all other political questions
should be subordinated to it.

TIN PLATE MANUFACTURE.

Fifteen thousand persons are now EN-
ployed in the manufacture of tin plate in
this country, and twenty EIGHT tin plate
works. each rolling its own black plates,
are in operation. Four years ago there
was barely one worthy the name. Ten
more are in process of erection, and some
OF these are so far advanced as to be able
to start up work in month from now.
In spite of predictions to the contrary,
that the reduction OF the duty on tin plate
by the Wilson tariff act would cause the
industry to go all TO pieces 1t has gone
forward with uninterrupted strides. 1t
has developed more rapidly and more
vigorously than almost any other in
dustry within the same length of time and
under peculiarly adverse circumsta tances
Capital invested men employed, and the
output have more than quadrupled in
less than five years.
The growth of tin plate manufacturing
in the United States is a magnificent
tribute to the indomitablc energy, per-
severence and ingenuity of the American.
II lends new force to the oft repeated
assertion that American pluck will in
the end overcome obstacles and difficult
ties of every kind.
The day is not far distant when the
United States will export tin plate even as
it imported the article until a few years
ago.

\ CoMMENDABLE MOVEMENT.

The knights of Labor have done a wise
thing in locating their headquarters in
Washington, and other labor organiza-
tions should follow the example. Labor
has had no authorized representation in
this city, where laws are enacted affect
ing the entire country, and this move to-
ward that end is commendable. Hereto
fore organizations Of employers, great ard
small, have lobbied Congress in their own
interests, but no representative of organized
labor has so persistently looked after the
welfare of wage-earners.
If any great good is to be accomplished in
behalf of labor it must come from laboring
people. The average Congressman may
mean well enough at the time of election,
but under corporate influence he generally
forgets his promises, and proves poor rep
resentative OF the masses. The reason
for this lapse of integrity is generally the
remoteness of his constituency and the ever
present seductive lobbyist, who never fails
10 impress his willing victim with the
Importance of standing by his employers

a supervision many questionable acts might
be avoided, aud much more reliability
could b placed on their pledges, for Con-
gressmcn like to be reelected, and they
would hesitate before doing anything TO
lose votes among their constituents. Let
other labor organizations than the Knights

LET THE BOYS PLAY BALL.

Judge Kimball struck a popular chord
and said sensible thing when he declared
that the District ought to provide grounds
where boys may be permitted 10 play ball.
The restrictions placed upon the youngsters
by existing ordinances and regulations are
irksome, because they are vague. The law
now says that boys must not play ball in
the streets OF the city. What is to become of
or be done with them when the greater
Washington makes the whole District of
Columbia nothing but streets?
There is nothing so good for young men
as a good game of baseball, - says Judge
Kimball, and he is quite right. But they
cannot derive the beneficial effect if the
bars are put up against them in every di-
rection and they are in constant peril of
arrest. OF course, there should be no ball
playing in the streets, for that is dangerous
to persons and property. 1t would be, there
fore, not only fair to the boys, but in the
interest of the public good if certain places
in different partsof the city Were designated
by the Commissioners where the boys can
play ball without let or hindrance.
While considering this matter it might
also be well TO caution policemen to exer-
else some discretion in making arrests for
supposed violation OF the ball playing ordin
ance. If, as was stated in the police court
yesterday, boys Were playing in a ten-acre
lot whenarrested, they Notwithstanding,

SENATOR HILLS srRADDLE.

The huge straddle OF Senator Hill in
ais New York speech on the monetary prob
EN- shows that be viii have TO be very
aimtle to hang on TO both sides OF the ques-
hon and maintain his political equilibrium.
II is easy to argue from either free silver
DIT sound money standpoint, but when an
important public man like Senator Hill
undertakes TO speak for both sides of the
question IL looks very much as if be were
trying to skate i'm two directions.
The question now to be decided is whether
OF not this country viii adopt silver
monometallism. At present we are on
gold basis. Our nedemptions are made
in gold and prices are quoted from a gold
standard value. Should the silver party
succeed in carrying Congress so that free
silver could be made lawful the standard
from which to quote prices would be
changed and the country would go to a
silver basis.
II viii be seen that not even Senator
Ein's great mental activity and faculty
for standing on political slippery places can
enable him to maintain his present attitude.
He must either be gold bug and buzz
with Mr.. Cleveland, or get off the fence and
become ravening silverite.
The Washington times., 1895-05-26
LOOK OUT FOR sw1NDLERs.

The numerous published complaints of
snide schemes for extorting money from
the public should serve as a warning
against patronizing anything but legitimate
enterprises. Washington has a sufficient
number of reputable tradesmen to prevent
the necessity of trying to get cheated by
listening to the glib tales of confidence
men. Let questionable bond schemes,
building and loan associations, picture
concerns aud all other methods of sharp
practice alone and deal with honorable
people and there will be no danger of being
defrauded.
1t is an unfortunate fact that Washington
has too many of these confidence games.
Their principal source of revenue is from
thrifty working people, and way should
be found to drive them from the city. The
Times would be glad to receive information
from all persons who in any way have
been swindled by the sharp practices
OF questionable enterprises. The only
way to get rid of them is TO make their
methods known as a warning to those
who are likely to be fleeced. All informa-
ton on thissubiect viii be kept confidential,
provided that stipulation is made at the
time the report is made
