TIN PLATE DEMAGoGY.

mand of the tin plate workers for a

low tariff rates of the Wilson law WHICH
promised so much for the poor WI WI n. Nj : :;
men Their wages were hoJ IsQuceu ~ ~
the Mckinley act was repeaIeu oy lem
ocratc Congress.
This is a little wilder than the usual
run of reckless partisan misrepresen-
tation INDUCED in by our contemporary.
Bless you. neighbor, there were no
tin plate wages to speak Of under the
Mckinley tariff. for the very excellent
reason that there were no tin plate
plants TO speak of in this country.
These did not come till the Wilson bill
removed the insane Mckinley taxes
from the raw material Of that industry
and gave it a chance to exist. Prior
10 that we had nothing in that line
but some fake dipping shops where
foreign black plates were dipped IN
foreign tin and called American tin
plate. This stuff was not put on the
market in commercial quantities and
was used solely for campaign purposes
such as the manufacture of Mckinley
tin buttons.
The heaviest cut the iron and steel
workers ever receivd was while the
Mckinley tariff was in full blast-we
speak of the iron and steel workers
because at that time, as we have said,
there we're no tinplate workers to speak
of in the United States. Wages in al
most every workshop and mill and
factory in the land took tumble I'M
der the Mckinley tariff such as they
never had experienced before nor have
experienced since. Surely our neighbor
hasn't forgotten this very recent history
and the consequent whoop and hurrah
with which the Democratic party went
into power in 1892.
Then came the Wilson bill. which
the Senate had left by no means an
ideal measure, but, still, something
better than the Mckinley iniquity.
For a while the business and industry
of the country picked up amazingly
after the Harrison Mckinley panic Of
1898. left by the Republicans as a leg
acv. but they had scarcely gotten on
their feet till the gold sharks of Wall
Street knocked them down again by
their raids on the Treasury gold.
The Mckinley tariff had bankrupt
the country and the gold sharks had
about completed the work of ruin by
the time the Wilson bill became the
law
We have gotten rid Of McKinleyism,
but the single gold standard is still
in force. contracting the peoples money
and forcing down values and wages.
And thus the situation stands.
To-day we are threatened not only
with a continuation Of the gold stand
ard while this administration remains
in power, but with the enaction of a
tariff about as bad as the Mckinley
insanity. if not actually worse.
Meanwhile wages continue to drop
and business and industry to stagnate
Is il any wonder?

The political battle in Ohio this year
will be national in its scope and in
terest The outcome Of the legislative
election Will be Of Importance to the
general government as well as 10 Ohio.
All the issues that pertain TO pres
idenual election are at stake, because
the assembly is to elect a United States
Senator who must serve for six years.
The two great issues are the money
question and the tariff question. The
Republicans are very badly split up
over the river. the silver Republicans
having already formed an organiza-
ton Of their own. The regular party
will parade the gold standard or the
main issue will probably be covered up
by a sort Of bimetallic subterfuge in
the shape Of international agreement
or some other impracticable and i'm
possible condition. The Democrats
should present the plain, straight ques-
zion of independent free coinage. which
means nothing less than honest bimet-
allism and a return to the money Of
the constitution. which always did give
equal rights, free coinage and full legal
tender TO both gold and silver. On
this money question the Democracy
should have no uncertain sound. It
should have the ring Of honest gold and
silver money and just as much of it as
can be made from all the gold and
ylver that can be coined or brought
nto our minis.
The times are ripe for victory for
Democracy if they make no mistake on
me two great questions. The agent of
prosperity has not come in such shape
as TO make the people doing business
believe in Republican promises. When
men say that it is only necessary to
build a higher wall around farm in
order to raise crops. there are too many
good farmers in the State of Ohio, too
many men that know that filling and
feruliziug the soil are a surer way of
making a crop than by simply putting
another rail on top Of the fence.
The second question, and the one
that is second in importance. is the
tariff question. That is nothing but the
question Of taxation. every man who
knows the A. b. C.s Of political econ
omy knows that a tariff is a tax If he is
an intelligent American he knows that
tariff law is always passed at least
under the name Of a revenue bill. What
is a revenue bill but a tax assessment
law? When the tariff is passed with
an honest purpose Of producing revenue
IL Will be an honest tax collecting bill;
when il is deS gned 10 collect subsidy.
for a few people, or a few classes OF
men. then it is not a revenue bill; it is a
subsidy bill. a bill TO compel the many
TO pay a part Of their earnings into the
hands Of the few, not into the treas
ury of the United States for carrying
on the government When the money
IS collected in the shape of subsidy
then it is no longer for the benefit Of
he government. but levy made in
he name Of revenue for the express
benefit Of privileged classes.
Now II the Democratic party will
stand by the principles Of historic
Democracy and not so wandering off
after strange gods. either on the money
question or on the tariff QUESTION, it can
carry the State of Ohio this year and
elect United States Senator and have

It would be interesting to have the
Administration and its friends and
supporters in Congress explain its pol
icy of delay in regard to the Cuban
question. Have they forgotten how
necessarily and savagely they criticised
Cleveland for a precisely similar pol
icy? Now that it devolves upon these
same Republicans to act instead Of
criticise, they prove that they have
neither courage nor consistency.

it alive II possible. and taking advan-
tage of the noise made by the cattle

stole cautiously up and seized the fawn
by its hind legs. In the struggle that
ensued he lost that grip. but managed
to obtain one on its tail. This he held
during an exciting chase of quarter
of a mile. The underbrush that the
fawn then ran into compelled him to
relinquish his hold. and he had the
satisfaction of seeing the animal rejoin
