THE TIN HORN oRGANisrs AGAIN.

1t relieves the burden of life these
sizzling days to peruse the desperate
efforts of the tinplate trust organists
to demolish the stone wall of facts and
official statistics presented by the Reg
lister with regard to the history of the
American tinplate industry by bruising
their poor brain-pans against it. Our
fuddled contemporary of Fourteenth
street, who, by the way, gave the ar
gument up as bad job years ago, and
dare not now let go the leading
strings Of the shrewder but not more
scrupulous organ of the trust, Tin
and Terne" of Pittsburg, opens up bril-
liantly as follows:
Judging from the Registers editorial
comment on Tin and Terne's exposure of
its ignorance of the tin plate industry, its
history and progress, which appeared in
Yesterdays Intelligencer but which the
Register did not publish or quote from,
for the benefit of its readers, it seems that
our contemporary does not desire that its
readers shall see but one side of the ques-
ton.
BY an error in its grammar here our
neighbor for the first time during the
controversy tells the actual truth
For it is fact that the Register docs
not desire that it's readers shall see but
one side of the question" The Regis
ter in this argument has fairly present
ed the contention of its opponents
We regret we cannot say as much for
Old Honesty, who has yet to quote the
Registers answers to Tin and Terne."
Our esteemed but more or less con-
fused neighbor goes on in this amusing
strain which it calls presenting the
Registers side of the argument "hon-
estly:"
Our neighbor simply reiterates its stere-
otyped CLAIMS that the Wilson tariff estab-
lished the tin plate industry. ignores the
Wilson. declared we could not make tin
plate, and deplores that we are not getting
the $1,000000 revenue from customs that
we used to get. while ignoring that many
millions of dollars that used to go abroad
to foreign manufacturers and workmen
now go into the pockets of our own pro-
ducers-in fact is retained in this country;
also strangely arguing thar Il was better
when formerly the United States treas
ury got $7000.000 year from duty on tin
plate" thus inconsistent with the Demo-
cratic contention that the consumer pays
the income tax.
If Old Honesty could have crowded
more falsehood and Misrepresentation
into the above paragraph, doubtless
he would have done it. To begin WITH
the Register did not simply reiter-
ate'' its claim that the American tin

sively proved it by official statistics

not until four months after signing the
protocol terminating active hostilities
that the treaty was signed in Paris.
Who was responsible for that delay?
Not the Senate surely. Ii took less
than two months for the Senate to di
gest this most important treaty and
that body was fully entitled to at least
quite as much time as the President and
his advisers and agents for the consider
alton of its terms-though it took less
than half as much. The Senate is not
the servant Of the President, but an
independent body acting in such mat
tiers co-ordinately with the executive
and is as much entitled to deliberate
and Judge as the executive. By the
terms of this treaty the President
sought to commit the American people
to a radically un-American policy, on
which it was the duty of the Senate
to deliberate thoroughly. Had the Gu
bans and the Filipinos been placed up
on the same footing and the latter rec
ognized as having as many rights I'M
der the treaty as the former, there
would have been no delay and the
treaty would have been ratified in
few days. 1t was because such simple
justice and fair dealing was refused the
Filipinos and because the administra-
o-ia I icytcs CT
to their plea and not at all because of
any delay, that the Filipinos rebelIed
against the so-called sovereignty of the
United States purchased from Spain at
a cost of $20.OO0,OOO of the peoples
money when Spain bad no sovereignty
in the islands to SELL 1t would have
been strange and miserable race of
people indeed, who would not have re-
belled against this monstrous injustice.
The administration also presumes to
censure Congress for not rushing
through without deliberation the Hull
bill, which increased our standing army
four-fold and at one leap proposed to
saddle the curse of Europe, Militarism,
on the American people. And the adj
ministration pleads that Congress left
it without the means of carrying on the
war! That this is wholly and abso-
lutely false is proven by the fact that
the administration is now raising ten
volunteer regiments for service in the
Philippines under the act of Congress.
Even Mr.. Mckinley will hardly blame
Congress for his own failure to take
prompt advantage of that law and ship
these troops promptly to the Philip
pines. There is nc reason to suppose
that the administration would have
acted more promptly had the Hull bill
been passed. Surely no one is to
blame for this dilly-dallying and indie
cision but the President, himself
If Mr.. Mckinley wants to see the
party really responsible for the costly
and bloody fiasco in the Philippines he
has but to look in his mirror.

and facts within the recollection Of
most schoolboys facts and figures
which Old Honesty has never yet pub
lished for the benefit of those mis-
guided people who read the Intelligen-
Ger exclusively. Secondly, the organs
statement that Mr.. Wilson declared we
could not make tinplate is false
hood on its face, for Mr.. Wilson put
raw tin, the raw material of the in
dustry on the free list for the special
purpose of fostering the tinplate in
dustry in the United States. Thirdly,
the Register neither "deplores' nor
ignores that millions that used to go
abroad for tinplate are now spent in
this country. In fact the Register has
repeatedly exulted over the fact that
this very condition is specially due to
the wisdom of the Democratic tariff
policy which by removing the shackles
Of McKinleyism gave the tinplate in
dustry its STARE and development in
the United States. Fourthly, the Reg
lister is not inconsistent with the
Democratic contention that the con-
sumner pays the income tax'-of course
our fuddled neighbor means the tariff
tax. No, indeed. But while the con-
sumner used to pay $7,000,000 tariff tax
into the United States treasury he now
pays not cent into the peoples treas
ury, but many times that sum into the
Golfers of the gigantic Tinplate Trust.
So much for Old Honesty. Now we
come to the source of his inspiration.
the Pittsburg organ, which he exult-
ingly quotes in capital letters as fol-
lows:
The tariff does not give the American
tin plate industry "a cent. AMERICAN
CONSUMERS ARE NOW BUYING TIN
PLATE A GREAT DEAL CHEAPER
BEEN NO PROTECTIVE TARIFF PUT
ON THE ARTICLE. and in no way but
by malicious falsehoods can show OF
controverting these facts be made.
1.-THE tariff does not give the Amer
lean tinplate industry cent" BY
industry here is meant the trust,
which has gobbled the tinplate indus
try. If the organ speaks the truth,
we suppose the tinplate lobby at
Washington during the formation Of
the tariff bill was only exercising for
its health. 1t is folly to pursue this
sort of argument Both these organs
as we'll as every intelligent man know
they are not telling the truth. The eff
fort in the paragraph quoted above to
convey the impression to casual read
ers that American consumers are now
getting tinplate cheaper than ever and
that the trust has not raised the price
is another deception so barefaced that
it is ridiculous and scarcely worth an
swering. The market quotations of
these organs themselves, show that
the Tinplate Trust has raised the price
of tinplate to the American consumer
from $3.50 to s460 per box, while it is
the market rumor that this most
grasping and greedy of all monopolies
is about to still further increase the
price.
The Register is glad to argue this
question from every point of view;
there is nothing like argument for get
ting at bottom facts and the truth,
but the Register would like it a great
deal better if it were possible to respect
its opponents for honesty and veracity.

GERMAN BEET SUGAR,
An Outside Market Must BE Found
for Two-Thirds of the Product.

a report of interest to beet sugar growers
has been received by the State Department
from Consul Henry Diederich at Magde-
burg. Ii is a collection of the most reliable
statistics obtainable since 1877. 1t is al
most entirely composed of tables showing
the development of the industry in Ger
many. but of particular interest only to
those engaged in the business. In closing,
Consul Diederich says:
AS the future Of the German export
trade in sugar has of late been engaging
many minds, l would call special attention
10 the above figures bearing on this export
up to the present date. These very clearly
show that Germany must find an outside
market for two-thirds Of her production
and that most of this surplus for the past
fVe years has been sold to England and the
United States. 1t Will also be seen that In
1897 more than double the usual quantity
was rushed 70 our country in anticipation
of the enactment of the Dingley law, but
that the following year showed again fair
average of export. The first three months
OF the present calendar year seem to fur
nlsh no reason for complaint to the German
exporter of sugar. From January l TO
March 81, 1899, the values of sugar declared
at the n!ted States consulates at Maggie
burg. Hamburg, DanZig and Stettin for ex-
port TO the United States amounted to
80 ,139 1884, an increase of So 455 6g5 over
those reported during the first quarter of
last Year.

4 Model Kingdom.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Mr.. George Clunies-Ross, King of Cocos
and Christmas Islands, has recently been
on Il visit to this country. 1t was his grand
father, naval captain in the early years
OF the century, who discovered the Keeling
Cocos Islands and took possession of them
in company with a small band of thirteen
blacks. Here he lived and ruled his small
kingdom until 1851, when the Crown de-
scended TO his son. and later to the king of
today. who is a cultured Scotsman of about
fifty.
Mr.. Clunies-Ross has now 700 subjects IN
his delightful little kingdom. in which there
are no poor. no public houses, no police or
saois. and. happ!est condition of ALL no
money. Food can be had for the picking
up, the sea is crowded with fish and the
birds are so tame that they wait to be
knocked over. To-day flows from the
trees, and wife can be had in exchange
Tor a tOrtoise-shell comb.
There are only eight square miles of cuIti-
Fable soil in the islands, but these bear a
million cocoanut trees. Every subject
when he marries, claim three acres of
ground. a house and a garden; and alto
gether this island monarch rules one of the
most ideally happy kingdoms on earth.
