THE TIN INDUSTRY.

Tin-American tin-entered into the

more unpalatable to the free trader G"

the tin industry. There is 10 more suik-
ing example OF what can be accom-
pliShed under the operation of the pro-
! tective policy than is to be found in the
rapid growth of tin making in this coun-
try. The Mckinley act placed Il duty on
tin plate sufficient 10 encourage its pro-
duction in the United States. The oppo-
ncnts of protection predicted that the
industry would never be established
here, but it began to develop and had
progressed quite mp to expectation when
two years later democratic president

the growth of the industry. in antici

But Mr.. Vest should have been informed
that the development of that industry

SENATOR ALIENS DEFENSE.

Sioux City Tribune Senator Aliens
defense OF Nebraska was well intended. but
the fact that he made IL demonstrated that
i.S necessity was recognized
Denver News 1t is fortunate that
| Nebraska has so able and eloquent a de-
fender in the senate as Senator Allen. This
speech Will win him the thanks Of the entire
west.
Kansas City Star: Senator Aliens defense
Of Kansas and Nebraoka indicates a loyal
and patriotic spirit, but the best vindlcation
of populism in these states will be abstinence
from harmful ond radical legislation.
St. Paul Pioneer Press: Mr.. Allen OF
Nebraska says that his state is "pOor but
honest" 1t would be unkind to deny this
Yet state that voted for reputation would
as well keep quiet for a while on the sub
ject Of honesty.
Philadelphia Press: The speech of Senator
Allen Of Nebraska in the senate yesterday
seems to indicate that he realizes there
must be rather differen, tone in some of
the populist states of the west, If they are
to have any standing or credit in their bust
ness affairs Kansas and Nebraska could
hardly have done themselves a greater
injury than the return of populist majority
on the national ticket and the election of
pCpulist state oflrials. These states had
rather more substantial interests involved
han the mere silver states, and they had
collar that the silver mining states had.
Chicago Pest There is some reason to
think that Ncbraska's fusion legislature
will eschew radical popuist legislation. but
il is not on the strength of Senator Aliens
resolutions and, protests that this belief is
likely to gain ground, The senator protests
too much and yet not enough, Whatever
weight Is properly pscribable to his earnest
assurance thatseontracts will be respected
is more than nJptralRed by his sweeping
statement that peptllsm WIS born to build
up. secure greater justice and establish
equality of rightS The trouble with popu-
lists is that theFs notions of justice and
equality are very peculiar and when Sen
atcr Allen tells u.s. that the populists will
do nothing unilst he tells us nothing at all.
for plenty OF absurd and mschieyous legis.
lation has been and can be enacted In the
name Of populist Justice.
Kansas City Journal Senator Allen of
Nebraska took occasion in the United States
senate to deny that the populists intended
to do anything to prohibit the enforcement
of legal contracts and declared there would
be no hostile legislation In regard to rail
roads at least in Nebraska. and further
more, that the beet sugar industry OF his
state would not be disturbed or Injured
by any act of the calamtyites. In fact,
MIR. Allen set up a general disclaimer OF the
prevalent notion that the popullsts enter
tain ideas other than the most indulgent
toward corporations or that they ever had
for a moment considered the plan OF making
silver at the ratio Of 1G to / a legal tender
for debts payable by contract In gold

The Transmssissipp and Inter

organized for business The new board
of directors is Il representative body Of

personnel is exceptionally strong and
insures the active participation in the
enterprise of the men who constitute
the backbone of this city. The men
chosen as officers not only possess the
qualifications for the duties of their re

SiSsippi states that the success of the
undertaking is no longer matter Of
speculation. 1t remains only for these
states to avail themselves of the op-
portunity presented for attracting
capital and population by making
known to the world their natural re-
sources and industrial development.
With less than eighteen months for
carrying to completion the preparation
of grounds. the construction of buildings,
the collection of exhibits, ana, above
all things, the procuring of liberal
appropriations from the different state
legislatures, there is no time to be lost
in getting down to business. The task
will not only tax the energies of the
officers and directors. but will also de-
mand the active and hearty co-opcrn-
ton of every Individual stakeholder and
the citizens of Omaha and the whole
state.
Above all it must be constantly kept
in view that This is not an Omaha eN-
position or II state fair. but an eXposi-
ton of all the transmissSSppi states, to
which foreign countries are also to be
invited.

WITH DIE nELIRERATION.

The sennte committee on foreign rela-
tionS shows very proper disposition to
give to the Cuban resolutions referred
10 it that careful deliberatiOn which the
gravity of the situation demands. Al
though 1t is understood that a majority
of the committee are in favor of some
action on the part of the government
for bringing the Cuban struggle to an
end. they appear to be unwilling to pre-
Cpitate policy, rs they might easily
do in the present temper of congress
and the country 1t is highly probable
that if the committee decided TO favor
ably report the most radical of the rcSo-
lutionS before it the senate would
promptly approve its action, while the
concurrence of the house would be
equally certain. Very likely the preSl-
dent would not acQuicSCe. but in any
event the effect of such congressional
action would aggrayate the situation and
make against the maintenance of ami
cable relations between the United
States and Spain.
The present indications are that con
gress will express itself forcibly in re-
gard to Cuban affairs and in way that
will compel the president to take notice
of its action. There may be nothing in
the report that Secretary Olney will
communicate with the senate foreign
relations committee, but it would seem
to be very desirable that he should do
so ii he has any information regarding
affairs in Cuba thnt has not been given
to the public and which would enlighten
the committee. The attitude of this gov
eminent is being closely watched by
other nations and great care should ba
taken to do nothing that cannot be justi-
fled before the world.

It ought to be easy for the republican!
and the decent democrats to smash that plo
in the senate to reject Francis Forman an,
the other gold democrats whom the pres
dent nominated. Nobody pretends they ar,
unfit for the stations for which they are
named The only ground on which they are
opposed IS that they belong to the honest
money wing Of their party. and their only
opponents are the men belonging to the Other
wing, plus the Fopul!sts and some OF the re.
publican boilers. We do not believe that al
the eX-Iepublicans or all the silver demo.
Gratis will lend themselves to this conspr.
aCy. The rejection of these appontees
whose only ofense is that they abandoned
their party when it declared for reputation
would be a lasting disgrace to the country
In view of the aid which the honest money
democrats gave to Mckinley, the republicans
should consider this assault on Cleveland
an attack upon themselves and give their
solid vote to all his appointees.
