essentially romantic. William F. Cody was
reared in an atmosphere of peril and
early felt the need of self-reliance. His

in the formative years of his life, which de-

The Register stu ignores the fact
that the tin plate Industry has assumed
great proportions dlsproves the asser-
lions that 1t was impossible under any
circumstances to produce the article in
this country. 1t harps on the one point
that the Wilson bill made the industry.
It knows that It was Wilson who orlgi-
mated the argument that tin plate could
not be made here. tariff or no tarift.
The reiteration by the Register Of this
Wilson bill business will not relieve It
from ignoring the facts in the case.
Our nelghbor misconstrues the Intel
iIgencer's statements, 1t isn't willing
to obtain facts from our own local
manufacturers concerning its point
that tno genuine tin plate was made
here prior to 1894" It isn't willing to
publish the statistics Of the productions
in this country for 1899, 1898 and 1894;
nor to admit that the Wilson bill was
not passed until the 2sth of August,
1894.
The Register makes assertions, and
then argues in a way that disproves
them. A point was that our nelghbor
declared that there was high protec-
tive Ut used the word 'protectlve")
tariff on tin plate for years before the
Mckinley measure was passed. The
Intelligencer said 1t was not protec-
tive duty, else tin plate would have
been made, as were other products that
were fostered by protective duties.
Now, the organ that sneered at the
idea Of tin plate being possible Amer
lean product, declares that the high
protective tariff which EXISTED before
the Mckinley duty of 90 cents per
pound" was cent per pound. II /
cent per pound was protective why did
Mr.. Wilson, when he fixed the duty
make IT IL cent? Wasn't Increased
protection a crlme7
For two years we had been making
millions Of pounds The Mckinley
duty went into effect July /. 1891, and
for the fiscal year ending on that date
the Imports OF tin plate had been n
billion and thirty-slx million pounds.
For the following year. ending July l.,
1892, the decrease was to less than half
n billion pounds Q22.OOO.OOO in round
numbers). and the imports have de-
creased ever since until now we are
supplying the home demand. The Reg
lister declares that no commercial plate
was made In this country until tin was
put on the free list. which Is not true.
The Register holds Republican pro-
lection Of tin plate as responsible for
the trust. The Dingiey bill did not re-
store tho Mckinley duty. but raised 1T

The action of the council railroad
committee, in favorably reporting the
ordinance granting franchise to the
Peoples Railway Company for the son-
struction of competing street car
line, from the north end Of the city to
Forty-elghth street. has given rise to
much discussion on the part OF the
public, in which various views are
taken as to the wisdom of providing for
two lines, covering practically the same
portions Of the city. Whether 1t would
be successful in the way Of revenues
sufieient to maintain both roads at a
proht IS one view. The route which
would necessitate double track along
the busiest portion of Market street, is
another point. The latter phase Of the
subject seems to provoke the most dis
favor among the property holders and
business men in the district referred to.
The state of mind Of the public on
these points, and particularly the last
named one, seems to suggest the pro-
priety of pointing out to members Of
council the fact that, in granting fran
chises, careful consideration Of the
points involved should be given.
whether or not 1t is the desire Of the
property-owners and the business ten
ants in the district on Market street,
between Tenth and Twentieth streets,
parallel to the present railway track,
including switches, an objection now
urged against the present railway on
North Main street. should be ascertain
ed to certainty. 1t is not wise to take
action in opposition to this very i'm
portnnt part of the public sentiment.
Without discussing further the mer-
its of the question as to whether there
IS strong demand for a competing
line. 1t is well to note that, in franchise
granting, 1t would be well for council
to thoroughly investigate what the
probable result might be as affecting
the welfare of both roads by divided
patronage.

Women love children because they
