TIN PLATE TRUST INCUBATION.

Fifty thousand men are idle because
the tin plate trust has locked them out
of its mills. A protection organ, upon
whose attention the strike is forced
undertakes to make political capital out
OF the circumstance and asks: "Didn'
the free traders absolutely prove TO
US that tin plate never could be made
in this country?"
Probably Grant or Garfield or Logan
may have said such thing. We do not
now recall it, although some of their
free trade declarations were very radi-
cal. But if reference is made to the
Democrats who believe in a tariff, not
for trust-protection but for revenue,
they never attempted to prove anything
Of the kind. On the contrary, they
have always admitted that, with the
proper outlay and protection, oranges
could be raised on the shores of Lake
Champlain. But it would cost the
country and the consumer so much
that wiser plan would be to raise that
which will grow to a better advant-
age and exchange it for oranges that
are grown where their cultivation is
less expensive.
Place a prohibitory tariff on any arti-
Gle of universal use or general necessity
and it can be produced according to the
ability of the people to pay the tax
levied thereon. But the foreigner
doesn't pay it, as protectionists have
always claimed; even where the duties
permit him to enter the market, he
adds the tax to his original price and
the American consumer has it all to
pay.
Tariff reformers have always held
that a prohibitory duty on tin plate
would create and maintain a tin plate
monopoly, no matter where the raw
material was obtained; and it has
taken less than a dozen wears to build
up in this country an oppressive tin
plate trust from which foreign compe-
tition is shut out and by which home
competition is throttled.
No system that builds up in so short
a time an immense monopoly like this
can be an honest or a beneficent sys-
tenn. The American people are paying
TO this particular combination millions
of dollars every year over and above
a fair profit. 1t has thrived under gov
paternalism and grown spoiled
and arrogant under protective ma
ternalism until it assumes to regulate
wages as we'll as prices. and to con-
troll the personal actions of its en-
ployees as it limits production to hold
consumers at it's mercy.
No free trader, no tariff reformer
ever claimed that trusts could not be
made in this country. if the Republi-
can party were given a little time and
opportunity.

the white metal who would love it dead
better than alive, who hopes to see it
abandoned by all parties since the one
to which he is bound by golden bonds
has scorned the principle.
There is not one silver man who re-
pudiated the Republican national ticket

count of principle, who is willing now
to return to the goldbug organization.
Those who advocated free coinage then
as a matter of business eXpediency be-
cause the popular current was too
strong to stem, have doubtless been

they cannot go to the men who bolted

ton or sympathy.

SOME GOOD SHORT STORIES.
In Love and War.
Chicago News.l


When the volunteers for the Spanish
American war were first licked into shape
in the various state camps il took some
time Tor Tom and Dick, who were only
priVates, TO understand that Harry, the
lieutenant, was entitled TO privileges
which they were obliged to respect
IN certain western state where the en-
campment OF the volunteers was located
near large city, the boys were in the
naDit or getting a few hours leave as
often as possible and running into town

1t happened that Tom. a private and
Harry, the second lieutenant of one well
known company. were enamored of the
same young LADY, who favored Tom the
most. but who was also fond of official
standing.
The siege was pushed by these young
sters with great vigor and strategy. One
night both happened to call on the young
lazy Tom sat il out until the hour for
taps" approached. Then he departed,
leaving his rival smiling. for he was an
officer and was independent of taps"
The next evening Tom approached tho
lieutenant for leave of absence. secretly
intending to see the young lady and set
tie matters AS if divining his inten-
lions. the lieutenant promptly refused
him. Then Tom ran the guard and
saw her.
The lieutenant discovered his absence,
and moved by pangS of jealousy reported
his rival at headquarters. Then the
young lady visited camp the next day and
found out that Tom was in the guard tent.
She marched straight TO the lieutenant
and said: Lieutenant -. You are q
mean Old thing. Tom promised to call
again this evening. and now III never
speak to you again.
That settled il with the lieutenant. Tom
didn't get out that evening, but when the
regiment left for the front he was en-
gagged to the girl, just the same.

Proving a True Story.


Some years ago, in a certain town in
the north, a gentleman possessed of more
money than education was asked to ad-
dress the scholars attending one of the
local schools some Sunday afternoon The
day arrived and our friend was called
upon.

to public speyking, but | remember when
l was a lad l was very fond of hearing a
story. Shall / tell a Story?
The children asserting, he proceeded:
Once upon a time, many years ago,
there was a lad, a very good lad, who went
regularly to Sunday school, and nivver

was gavin to school. two bad boys met
him and persuaded him TO gan birdsnest-

riverside. and by and by they came tiv
a tree, and in the tree, on a branch which

two bad lads sent the good lad TO climb
the tree and fetch the eggs. Up he went
and got out on the branch, further and

After waiting a few moments to allow
his hearers to thoroughly grasp the full

PATS TEARS FOR SILVER.

Lannan, the widely known editor of
the Salt Lake Tribune, begins to en-

contributions to the literature of the

EXPERIENCE.
JOHN BOYLE O'REILLY.

The world was made when a man was
born,
He must taste for himself the forbidden
springs,
He can never take warning from old
fashioned things.
He must fight as boy; he must drink as
youth.
He must kiss. he must love; he must
swear to the truth
OF the friend of his soul. He must laugh
10 scorn
The hint of deceit in a womans eyes
That are clear as the wells Of Paradise.
And so he goes on till the world grows
old;
Till his tongue has grown cautious, his
heart has grown cold;
Till the smile leaves his mouth and the
ring leaves his laugh,
And he shirks the bright headache you
ask him TO quaff.
He grows formal with men, and with
women polite.
And dStrustful with both when they re
out of his sight
Then he eats for his palate and drinks
for his head,
And loves for his pleaSure-and 1t Is time
he were dead.
