The recent expectation Of American
tin-plate that sold in foreign markets
is a more eloquent and forceful an
swer to the free traders assertions
than columns of newspaper or ora
torial statements. 1t is only six years
since Democrats were insisting that
no amount of protection would enable
American manufacturers to success
fully produce tin-plate, yet in that
brief time they have practically sup
piled the markets of the United
States and are now reaching out for
those Of the world.

POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS.

With Mexican dollars worth only
40 cents the laboring people Of that
country, whose wages are nominally
one-half the wages i'll the United
States, are in hard lines. The recent
fall in silver and depreciation Of the
Mexican dollar has caused great suf-
fering to the class of people who were
but poorly paid when the dollar was
much more valuable than it is at pres
ent. This depreciation causes a rise
in the price Of all commodities that
the laborer there must buy, but the
laborer's wages themselves are the
last things so affected.

Free silver and free trade having
lost their charm with the people of
the United States, the Democratic
leaders who recognized that they will

some new railing cry are now looking
for other issues. This is indicated by
recent developments which show that
the men who have kept themselves i'll
the public eye and public Office
through the operations of the Demo
cratic party in the last few years are
now quietly discussing the single tax,
the initiative and referendum and fea-
lures of this sort in the hope that
they may be able to present new and
attractive schemes with which to
catch the unthinking voter in the
next national election.

The warehouse certificate scheme,
wherein certificates based upon the
bullion value of silver may be used is
now the only hope OF eX-Govenor
Boies Of Iowa as Il basis for currency.
He said, months ago, as did many Of
those who last year supported the
free-coinage-of-silver idea, that the
day for that proposition had passed.
In his latest proposition made public
a few days ago, he suggests that the
only method Of making silver useful
asfa basis for currency is its deposit
in warehouses and the issuance of
certificates upon its bullion value
This might be a good scheme il silver
did not have an uncomfortable way
of taking drop ever now and then.

A half century Of commerce is a
good deal better index to the capacity
of a country than short period of
two or three years. The free traders
who are trotting out figures to
show that our sales of American man
ufactures increased abroad under
the Wilson law would do well to look
over the history of the past half cen
tury before they go very far into these
statements. If they do so they will
find that in the quarter of century
of low tariff the balance of trade was
almost constantly against the United
States, while in the quarter of cen
tury of protective tariff the balance
of trade was largely in our favor. In
the twenty-five years since 1872 there
have been but five years in which our
exports did not exceed our imports,
while in the twenty-five years pre-
ceeding that there were but two years
in which the imports were not in eX-
cess of the exports. The excess of ex-
ports over imports in the last quar-
ter of a century was about $500, 900,
600, while the excess of imports over
exports in the proceeding quarter of
a century of low tariff was about
81, 400, 100000.

$1,000 Certificates.

The following from the report of
the Beneficial Commission of the Su-
preme Lodge upon this subject is
interesting:
"The $1,000 Beneficiary Certificate
has been in force in the Jurisdiction
of Michigan since July 1, 1895. In
eleven months there have been more
$1,000 than $4,000 certificates issued,
and quite number have taken ad-
vantage of the change to reduce
their certificates from $4,000 to 81, 900.
Only four have increased their $1,000
certificates to. $4,000, The experience
of this one Jurisdiction is sufficient
to prove that the $1,000 certificate is
a success, and it is assumed that it
will be even more successful in Ju.
risdictions where the death rate is
higher than in Michigan. The Order
gains distinct advantage in the is-
suance of $1,000 certificates. The
amount at hazard on a single life is
reduced, and the reliability of the
Order is thereby correspondingly
lessened. The arguments that favor
the issuance of $1,000 certificate
are equally potent against the issu'
ance of a $1,000 certificate"

A Little History.

The first record we have of any
kind of fraterna1 insurance occurs in
the writings of Livy, the time being
during the second Punic war. The
same author also relates that Claud-
ius, the Emperor, agreed to save
harmless any merchant whose pos
sessions should suffer damage in
transport, This was to foster and
encourage commercial relations be-
tween business men of different
countries. Down to the time of Queen
Elizabeth, the insurance noted ap-
plies almost exclusively to marine.
During the Klizabethian era, or to be
more explicit, I493, the Anglo-Saxons
instituted mutual aid societies and
called them guilds, from the Anglo
Saxon word "gildan," meaning "to
pay" These Were originally associa'
tions of the inhabitants of particular
towns for promoting the fraternity
They resembled in many important
features our modern societies. On
condition of certain payment, the
members were entitled to relief IL
case of sickness and to protection
from violence. Later they were o:
two kinds: religious and secular
while both of these retained the relief
in sickness, the former was more o.
a charitable institution, while the
latter had as its main object the al
vancement of the commercial rela-
tions of the fraternity. These secular
guilds Were really the origin of mr-
nicipal corporations. In the present
times people are prone to predict the
short life of all fraternal societies.
The few facts noted above may aid
some Brother in refuting such a
statement.-Go0d FeLLoID.
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1897-12-18

During the last three yeas of hard
ship, business depression and low
wages, many Brothers have, with
out doubt, been tempted to give up
their membership in our benevolent
Order. And there cannot be the
slightest doubt that the payment Of
the smallest assessment has been a
great hardship to-.some OF the -men-
bers who have been out of work, or
drawing reduced wages, or working
half the time, when, in many cases,
large family depended entirely
for its support upon the few, dollars
thus earned. But it is surely better
to suffer some deprivation and pay
the assessments and keep up the in
surance than to leave wife and FAM
lily without protection. Think of it,
how soon you may be called away
to that unknown place from which
no traveller ever returns, for death
arrives very often when most unex-
pected.
How much harder times would
your wife and little ones have should
you die leaving them without any
insurance.
Starvation, and at last the poor
house, or the orphan asylum, would
be the outlook. Can you bear such
a thought? No.. surely not. And
whenever a moment comes over you
that you think you must drop your
insurance in this Order, think of
your wife aud children, and picture
their sore distress after your depar-
ture, and you will go right along
and strain every nerve and continue
in the Order, the best of them ALL

strength of this representation, is
seeking aid and recognition as a
