OUR NEIGHBOR AND TIN PLATE.

The Intelligencer gives another ex-
hibition of ignorance in its criticism
of the Registers statement that Amer
lean tinplate (not roofing tin, or terne
plate) was not known in the market
until after the Wilson bill had become
fully operative. The Register stated
that under the Mckinley bill, which
placed heavy tax on block tin, it was
found impossible to manufacture tin
plate at profit, and not until this fault
was removed by the Wilson bill, which
admitted block tin Free the most i'm
portant raw material of this industry,
was it found possible to manufacture
tinplate in the United States that could
be sold in competition with foreign
tinplate in the market.
Now the intelligent Intelligencer
comes along with big book of dow
eminent statistics under its arm to
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1897-09-21

SNOW Us now llItle IL KNOWS OIL Iu0 LII
plate industry. It first shows us how
many millions OF pounds Of tin and
terne plate" was made in the United
States in 1892 under the Mckinley bill.
We would like to inquire just at this
point why the Intelligencer stopped at
1882 in its researches for statistics bear
ing on the American manufacture OF
''tin and terne plate" Was it because
it would not serve it's purpose to go
further back or long before either Nc
Kinley or the Mckinley bill was
thought of Everyone who knows
anything at all about this subject
knows that heavy plate, used chiefly
for roofing, which comes under the head
of "tin and terne plate" have been
made in this country for many years
before the Mckinley bill was ever
thought of. This material is simply
another quality Of galvanized sheet
iron and is as fdissimilar from what
the public and the tariff makers and
the politicians mean by tinplate. the
finely rolled material used in canning
and in making tin kitchen utensils, as
a coarse wooden blanket is from fine
silk.
Prior to the passage Of the Wilson
bill, all of this fine bright tinplate used
in the United States was imported from
Wales, for no rolling mill in this coun-
try had the special machinery to roll
the fine black plates to say nothing OF
the other departments necessary to
turn out finished bright tinplate.
While the Mckinley bill was in opera
ton Republican politicians to back up
their talk about the establishment Of
the American tinplate industry by Re-
publican protection, had certain inter-
ested protected manufacturers erect
sheds, import the fine black plates
from Wales and then give them a bath
in tin, also imported, and the product
Of this fake process was called Amer
lean tinplate. The proof Of the fake,
however, was the fact that not a pound
of it was ever quoted in the market.
Other manufacturers, who were not
governed by the politicians, but were
deceived by them, honestly attempted
to make tinplate by putting in the ma
chinery to roll the black plates. Then
they found that the Mckinley tariff
made the cost Of imported block tin
so high that it was impossible to make
it at a profit, and so American tinplate
never made its appearance in the mar
ket, as we have said, until the Wilson
bill removed this fatal objection. I'm
mediately upon the passage of the lat
ter measure began the construction of
tinplate mills all over the United States,
and the industry has since flourished
and grown to enormous proportions.
This is recent history Of which the
Intelligencer is either ignorant, or fall
SITES to suit it's Interior political pur-
pose. 1t was only the other day that
our reckless neighbor stated that the
tin mills over the river began making
tinplate under the Mckinley bill The
mills over the river never made a pound
of tinplate until after the passage of
the Wilson bill. II the Intelligencer
did not know this it ought to go out
of business as newspaper; if it was
aware Of the truth it stated a deliber-
ate falsehood.

WHERE'S TIE CURRENCY COMMITS.
SION?

President Mckinley would relieve
the anxiety of the public if he would
tell where his famous currency commits
sion is and what it is about. When
last heard from it was wandering over
England, presumably in the effort to
find out whether the English will ever
consent for the United States govern
ment to run its finances to suit itself.
The members of the commission have
many friends in this country who
would like to know where they are at
present and when to expect them
home.
1t appears that the President, him.
self, has abandoned hopes of securing
any practical good from the trip of
his commission other than that which
will accrue to his party in the way of
an alleged attempt to carry out that
provision of its st. Louis platform
which committed the organization "to
promote bimetallism."
But he is now pinning his faith to
the Hugh Hanna commission, an out
growth of the Indianapolis monetary
conference, which was commenced by
the President in his currency message
to Congress just on the eve of adjour-
ment. Hugh Hanna will, of course,
not be COMPOUNDED with the only and
the mighty Mark, on whom the Pres
ident has had his faith pinned for a
number of years. The body of which
Hugh Hanna is the head seems man
ifestly designed for the most part to
represent the business elements of the
country in it's investigation of the cur
rency system with the view of suggest
ing to Congress through the President
whatever changes it may conceive to
be demanded.
Doubtless the members were chosen
with care and are we'll adapted to the
work intrusted to them. The majority,

prisoner, who downed the sausage
maker so hard that he hasn't got over

Four Young Men to Tramp to the YOsem-
lite Valley.
Four of the best known young men
Of Oakland, Cal, started recently to
tramp to the Yosemite valley. The
boys perfected their plans and went
prepared to meet emergencies empty
handed and on foot. Beach Carter Soule,
Raymond Z. Baker. Royal p Macdon-
aid and Clifford Boardman compose the
party.
For the period of six weeks they will
abandon the ease and comfort of every
day city life to try the lot of the outcasts
who wander over country roads, trust
ing to good fortune for their meals and
to an unfailing ability to locate lofty
haystacks for place to sleep. Soule,
Baker, Macdonald and Boardman are
leaders Ill the younger set of Oakland,
and their novel scheme for a holiday
outing has amused the community great
ly.
They will neither beg nor borrow,
but will perform odd jobs wherever
they are to be had, dine with whoever
is kind enough to ask them in for re-
past and shift for themselves when they
are not within reach of farmhouse or
settlement by hunting game and fish
ing. Each will carry some kind of a
gun. San Francisco Chronicle.

BEYOND THE LIMIT.

The absolute failure of the Light
and Water company To illuminate
either the streets or The many stores
and residences on Thursday night,
calls for prompt inquiry on the part
of the city authorities.
Again last night, the incande cents
were out.
The failure of lig hit following closely
upon the failure of sufficient water
power at last Saturday nights fire
naturally leads thoughtful citizens to
ask: "Why should the city be com
PEELED to pay for such service?"
In answer TO such questions The
company and the company's represen-
tatIves cannot shield themselves be-
hind the United States court. The
city cannot be bound by contract so
frequently and tlagrantIy violated.
One of two things should be done.
The city should buy the present
plant, being careful to pay no more
than its present actual value.
Or the city should break the present
Iniquitous contract and put in a new
plant of its own.
OF these two plans that one should
be chosen which, after thorough IN
vestigation, proves the cheapest, best
and most productive of benefit to the
whole people.
The present style of treatment, or
mlstreatment,c cannot be tolerated.

A Great Sea Tunnel Project.

A scheme is being discussed in news
papers and at meetings for the construc-
ton of a submarine tunnel between Ire
land and Scotland. Its length would be
about 20 miles. 1t would need to be
carried about ], 900 feet below sea level
in midchannel, and it's cost would be
anything from $40,OO0,OO upward
The traffic would probably not do more
than cover working expenses, says The
Railroad Gazette, for the mouth of the
tunnel on the Scotch side would be in a
remote, thinly peopled part of the coun-
try, 80 miles from the nearest center of
population. A rate per mile low enough
to draw the traffic away from the exist
ing steamboat services would be so low
that it would hardly pay interest on
the vast construction capital, even if
the tunnel were as full of trains as the
London Underground. "

Further details have been received

Daily News who is inquiring into the
Tiraspol (Russia) tragedy, in which Is
persons, at least. belonging to the Ras-
kolniki, a religious sect, were of their
own volition buried alive or walled up
i'll the cellar of the house of Feodor
Kovaleff, who is now under arrest.
The cellar lSa cave at the base of Ko-
valcti's cottage. In this place, which
is 50 small that it is marvellous how so
many persons were buried there, nine
bodies were found, lying alternately
head to feet. IN one instance a hollow
had been scooped in the clay wall to
make room for the head of the victim.
The governor of the prison in which
Kovale1f is confined has elected from
the prisoner the information that the
interments were made at night in the
presence of a number of his coreligion-
lists, The victims in every instance DON
ned their best garments, over which
they placed shrouds.

lently and resignedly in their graves,
lying i'll close array and always. ON the

OF move hand Or limb while they per-
mitted Kovaletf to shovel the earth up
on them.
Not even the children relented in
their resolution or yielded to the phys
ical instinct which causes dying per
son to Wrestle in his death agony, al
though they might have stepped out
while the clods were falling upon them.
Photographs of the bodies prove that
they died motionless

type, bears an excellent character. He
is sober and thrifty, gentle, affection
ate, and well to do, like all the Begu-
