TIN PLATE PRICES.

Everyone knows that tin plate has adj
vanced considerably in price within the
present year. The Democratic theorists
claim that the advance in the United
States is due incidentally to the tin plate
trust and primarily to the tariff, it being
their theory that protective tariff is a
promoter Of trusts.
Now.let us look at the prices which the
Welsh tin plate manufacturers receive
They now obtain SI.45 box more than
they did in January last. This is a great
er advance than has been made in the
United States.
We respectfully ask our Democratic
friends TO explain this. If the protective
tariff and the trust caused the advance in
the prices of tin plate in the United
States, what caused greater advance in
prices in Wales, where there isno tariff al

WORSE THAN WAR.

Despite the horrors of war, there are
sometimes things that are worse. Even
the piping times of peace have their dark
and deadly side. We do not refer to the
pestience that RACES at MONDAY, nor the
evil deeds that men commit after night.
We refer to the famine that stalked in the
wake of the Wilson tariff bill, the indus
trial paralysis and wide spread agony that
were coincident with the lact Democratic
national administration. Who that ever
beheld it wants to look upon its like
again (? Who that ever felt the pinch of
hunger, the sorrow of idleness. and the
loss of time, opportunity and fortune that
followed, will aid to bring return TO
those evil days?
In this connection, the Weston hide
pendent reminds its Democratic and other
obstructionist newspapers and people, that
there are things worse than war in the
following terse. but pointed language;
Yes, "war is hell" but aside from the
loss of life and blood, both the Spanish
and the Philippine wars have cost this
country far less than did the last Demo-
cratic administration. The loss OF labor
and wages, the destruction of property,
the violence of hungry rioters and the
heart-pangs of care-worn women and
crying children in tatters and rags evil
dence the fact that Democracy, is he'll.
Yes, there are things worse than war;
and the people of the United States,
thanks to the whirligig of time that per-
mitted the Democrats the opportunity
they so greatly improved TO give US an
object lesson on it, will never forget the
lesson of that most bitter experience.

A FIGHT FoR PRESERVATION.


The contest for Governor in Kentucky
is one Of the fiercest waged in that State
since the war. Goebcl, the Democratic
nominee, is shrewd man, but political
shyster who would stoop to anything to
win. Several years ago he shot banker
named Sanford, an old Confederate SOL
der, and a prominent Democrat. He
was acquitted at the trial. on the ground
Of seif-defenee, though thousands believe
ne should have been hanged. Sanford's
wife, brooding over the untimely death Of
her husband, became insane, and is now
in the asylum. Senator Joseph Blackburn,
Of Kentucky, was Sanford's bosom friend.
Standing before an assemblage Of
mourners at Sanford's bier on Easter Sun
day, 1895, Senator Blackburn said:
John Sanford was to me like brother.
! loved him. hope God may spare me,
and shall make it my life's mission to
avenge him by burying his slayer in the
depths Of merited public execration.
Last Monday, addressing an audience
Of Democrats at WickIiff, Senator Black
burn said
"Goebel stands before the Democracy
of the State worthy leader Of the cause.
All over the State these two utterances
are being printed side by side, while the
spectacle of Blackburn as the travelling
companion Of the slayer OF his friend is
only one of the many unique features Of
the campaign.
Blackburn has his coat off and is
whooping it for Goebel. His speeches
are fierce and bitter He is a candidate
for the U. S. Senate, and hopes to win by
supporting the nominee, even against his
vow beside the open grave of Sanford
He is scared. He sees the doom Of De-
mocracy, and his own fall, and it would
be blessing to Kentucky il he was de-
feated forever. He knows that the Goebel
election law is stain on the state, and
that the author should be in the peniten-
tiary, yet he supports him, and travels
with him as companion. That he sees
the handwriting on the wall. is plainly
visible. In an interview last Sunday he
said
1--WE have had great campaigns in this
state before, but | honestly believe that
never in our history have such tremen-|
dous results been dependent upon an
election here as is the case just now. |
believe that if Kentucky goes Republican
this year, none of us will live long enough
to see it return to the Democratic column.
1t is the realization of this fact that has
wrought our people to such an unusual
degree ofexcitement. The contest means
everything to us. If we lose this, we
lose all. 1t will be political death from
which there will be no resurrection.
No wonder he is working. But he will
not win. Thousands of Democrats will
vote for Young, the independent Demo-
cratic nominee for Governor The min
listers are preaching in every pulpit against
Goebel, and the Republicans present an
unbroken front.
1t is contest of decency and morality
against fraud, brutality and Goebel De-
mocracy, and even in old Kentucky the
people will array themselves on the side
of right. Goebel and Blackburn are
doomed to defeat.

When Bryan was in Congress he re-
fused to vote for Chas. +. Crisp, Demo
Graf from Georgia, for Speaker, on the
ground that Crisp had served in the Con-
federate army. This statement is now
being circulated all through the South.
Take away the Confederate vote and the
Democratic party couldn't elect a con-
stable in some of the Southern states.
Bryan may have plenty of wind and gall,
but he stands on dangerous ground when
he thus reflects upon the boys in gray.
