Parker at Birmingham has furnished
the department of state with copy of
a report made to the British ambassa-
dor, Sir Julian Pauncefote, by Hugh ].
O'Berne. his second secretary, contain
ing n review Of the growth Of the tin
plate industry in the United States. II
shows that the tin plate sales from
England have fallen OF one-half since
the Mckinley tariff act was passed, and
that the American production is steadily
increasing. 1t Is claimed by Mr..
oBeirne that the slight increase Of
rates in the present tariff law over those
in the Wilson law win give the United
States manufacturers the California
markets. which were heretofore sup
piled from England. Enclosed with Mr..
Parker's report is an editorial from the
Daily Birmingham Post commenting
on the report and reviewing the tin
plate trade since the Mckinley law OF
1890. 1t Is claimed that the only mar
ket England can now obtain In the
United States Is by the drawbacks

Something to Depend On.

Mr.. James Jones, OF the drug
firm of Jones u Son, Cowden, ILL.,,
in speaking of DR.. Kings New
Discovery, says that last winter
his wife was attacked with La
Grippe, and her case grew so Sc
ri0us that physicians at Cowden
and Pana could do nothing for her.
1t seemed to develop into Hasty
Consumption. Having Dr.. Kings
New Discovery in store, aud sell.
ing lots of it, he took bottle
home, and to the surprise of all
she began to get better from first
dose, and half dozen dollar bot.
ties cured her sound and well.
Dr.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds
is guaranteed to do this good
work. Try it. Free trial bottles

1t seems that the etiquette
that doth hedge a king has invad-
ed the White House, but President
Mckinley either disregards it or
has not found it out. On Sunday
the President and Mrs. Mckinley
went for a drive in their open
carriage, accompanied by the lat
ter,s aunt, Mrs. Saxon. The elect
of fashionable society were duly
Mortified to observe that the Presi-
dent, contrary to precedent, sat
with his back to the horses. Ac
cording topresidential etiquette, AS
inaugurated by the late President
Arthur, and always strictly adher.
ed to by President Cleveland, this
should not have been. 1t is un-
written law that the President
must get in first and never, no
matter even if his mother in law
is in the same carriage, must he
sit with his back to the horses

The Most Valuable Spot on Earth.

Probably the most valuable spot
on the face of the earth las the bur
ial sites in Westminster Abbey can
not be bought with gold) are the
four corners where Wall street
touches Broal, and the two where
it meets Broadway. | cannot
guess how large price any one OF
these might bring in the market
now, but a million dollars and a
half million dollars more were
recently paid for five lots OH Broad
way, opposite Bowling Green.
This was the value of the land
alone. as the old buildings it bore
were atonce torn down; yet, says
Phillip Hone, a lot in just this
place sold in 1929 for only SIS, 800.
AS late as 1910 lots on Cortlandt
street could be had for 81 1000 or
even for $500. But a year or two
ago the corner of Liberty street
and Nassau, measuring 70 feet
along the one, 112 along the other,
and 100 feet in depth, brought
81, 100000, and this, again, for the
sake of the land Alone Century.

In commenting on the loss

In commenting on the loss of
revenue under the present tariff,
Republicans have studiously sup
pressed any reference to the de.
preston of business. The great
est deficit that has yet occurred in
any fiscal year was in that which
ended on June 80, 1891, before the
Mckinley bill was repealed. Re
publieans are willing to admit
that business depression caused
this loss OF revenue. In doing
this they also admit that customs
receipts are, other things being
equal, a measure of the prosperity
