Four bullet WOunds

Providence, Feb. 14.-Medical Ex-
aminers Longfellow, Perkins and Terry
held an autopsy yesterday on the body
Of Mrs. Amos d. Palmer, who was shot
by her husband at their home in Edge
wood, suburb of this city, Sunday
night. Four bullet holes were found in
the left breast, and one in the left
arm, entering at the wrist and leaving
at the elbow The upper wound, about
three inches above the nipple, caused
death, the bullet having passed through
the heart. The wounds were close to-
gether, a short distance below, and the
fourth was within a radius of four
inches. The course of the bullets con-
verged to the stomach, through which
they passed, lodging in and near the
spine. Medical Examiner Longfellow
has reported the case to Coroner Haw-
kins. who will hold an inquest.

NOT ALL TAGALS

Most of the members of the CO.
horts have lined up at this writing
with Aguinaldo and against theil
own government, but it is fair tc
say that they haven't all lined up.
Only yesterday prominent Pop
ulist; man who has been mention.
ed in connection with the nomina.
ton for governor on the Pop ticket
next year. said to us: "The talk Of
these anti-expansionists makes me
weary. There is only one course
for the government to pursue and
that is to whip Aguinaldo and his
outfit and restore peace in the is
lands. The party that opposes that
will get run over. In fact, l think
the question will be settled before
the next campaign begins. A good
many of our people seem to be TAX
ing the wrong side of this question
but when they come to make an issue
out of it next year they will find
that they have no issue. 1t will be
already settled against them.
Some reader may guess that this
Populist was John Madden, but the
guess would be wrong. 1t was an
other Populist who has common
sense enough to see that the Tagal
hasan't much show in this country
yet.
The man we speak of is a gentle
men and patriot, and yet withal
he has a streak of foolishness in his
makeup. He is foolish for staying
with the Pop party which is not only
Unidentified with every sort of fool
ism that has struck the state within
the last ten years, but is already
committed to the anti-expansion,
anti-government, let-go- and-run pol
icy. He is foolish for seeking a
nomination at the hands of that par
ty. because he will be judged by his
company and he will be run over,
tramped upon and his mangled re-
mains left on the field when the fight
is over. We speak of this with re-
greet, because we hate to see a really
good man left in that condition.
We withhold this Populist's name
for the present at his request. We
think this request on his part
is mistake but we respect it.

ADVANCED PRICES.

1t sometimes makes a farmer
vince little when he steps into a
hardware store to buy some article
of need and is asked a dollar and a
quarter for it when two years ago
he bought the same article for dol
lar. For the time he forgets that
he is getting about IS per cen; ad-
vance on everything he has to sell
on the farm but horses, over the
average price for the last twenty
years,
The farmer necessarily sells more
than he buys hence the per cent OF
profit is in his favor.

value of policy which promotes
production at home by first insuring

leaves to American skill and ineenu-

rivals. The particular point of the

A REPUBLICAN HOME MARKET

A REPUBLICAN, HOME MARKET
In the exports and imports of stee
and iron for July there is fully de
veloped moral for people who ge
muddled on the relation of our home
market to our foreign markets
only they will take it. We all like
to have the country do large bust
ness abroad, but it is characteristic
of the free-trader and the rainbow
chasing Democrat that the home
market, involving billions on billions
concerns them not whit, while
they pin sublime faith to foreign
trade. They will ignore the shrink
age of billion dollars in the home
market, but will go wild with exul-
tation over gain of one thousand
in foreign trade.
The Republican contention that
prosperity arising from busy and
prosperous home market is good not
only for us but others is exemplified
in the July iron and steel imports.
Our people are so busy and are ear
ming so much money because we have
rational home conditions that they
are able to buy what our home mar
ket offers and more, too. With our
iron industries working overtime at
payments of advanced wages, we are
using so enormous product that
there is a fresh demand for foreign
supply. The imports Of iron ore
rose from $50 tons in July, 1898, to
43,762 tons in July just ended. Bar
iron imports increased from 4, 49,
566 pounds to 5,256,447 pounds; tin
plate from S,253.964 pounds to 49,
300, 442 pounds, and ingots, wire,
wire rods and other steel products
show a corresponding increase of
imports for July, 1899. over July,
1898.
The explanation is that with home
conditions all right we are the buy
ers of the world. We are consum-
ing more iron and steel than we can
make, running mines, foundries,
mills and factories at their fullest
capacity. Two years ago those
manufacturers who could not touch
the lowest cost of production in the
industry "closed down" Others
who had products on their hands
which they could not dispose of here
at any cost because there was no
demand sent them abroad to be sold
at cost or even at loss. But with
the American people working, earn
ing. eating and living at their full
standard our exports of iron and
steel fell off in July. Why? Max
ing more than ever before, we &C
tually haven't any to spare. Exports
of steel. for instance, fell off from
43,s65 tons in July, 1898, to 1896
tons in last July, and bullets, inSots
and blooms from 4, I4o tons to 1876
tons.
The home market! Everything
depends on that, and the Repubh-
can party is the only party that looks
first of all, and to the exclusion of
everything else, to the home mar
ket, whence come the bread and
butter of all of us.-New York
Press.
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1899-09-08

iff of 1890, this industry began te
assert its right to existence in Amer
lea, prices of tin plate began to de
cline, and are atpresent much lowe
than they were when tin plate wa
admitted duty free.
As the "Sun" narrates the history
prior to 1891 there was one little til
plate factory in the United States
the fruit of the unassistei expert
ments of an American manufacturer
So small was the output of this little
mill that it was almost universally
believed that no roofing plate at al
was made in this country. The plan
employed about forty men Today,
not quite nine years after the Nc
Kinley tariff bill went into effect,
there are ffty-two manufacturing
plants, and 10000 men and boys
are drawing wages from the tin
plate industry. A few years ago
not sheet of tin plate was produced
in the United States; today 5,Ie7,-
500 pounds or 51,975 boxes of tin
plate can be produced annually, and
for at least three-hundred days in
the year S12o, 900 in wages is earned
daily.
American tin plate manufacturers
were not simply satisfied with the
advantage secured to them by the
Mckinley tariff bill over their Welsh
competitors. 1t would have been pos
sible and it was almost natural for
them to depend upon the tariff alone
but from the very beginning they set
themselves to outdo the Welsh manu-
facturers in their own field, so that
at present European producers of
tin look to America for new ideas
and latest Improvements in methods
of work. The American mills had
scarcely started up before they be-
gan to double the amount heretofore
produced by single shot mill, the
word mill being used here for the
and rolls in charge of one
crew as distinguished from the word
mill used to designate the entire
manufacturing plant. Not satisfied
with doubling the output of the mill,
they turned their attention to better
ing the methods in the tin house
proper, and the ancient system of
"hand dipping" the black plates
gave way to machinery. Today this
machinery is sold in constantly in
creasing quantities to the Welsh
who had never even
dreamed of the idea.
The industry could never have
been established in this country
the aid of Welsh workmen,
and many hundred were imported
while the business was getting on
its feet. Today, however, Welsh
workmen have practically ceased
coming, unless to take their chances
at securing work, and Americans
are filling the places created by the
establishment of new mills.
The development of this new in
dustry is even more rapid than that
OF steel. 1t was hard to induce the
trade to purchase American steel
then and manufacturers were fain
to initiate the Sheffield brands, 60
ing so far as to sprinkle salt water
on their product, to produce the
scale caused in those days by the sea
from England to the United
States. 1t was different in tin plate.
the industry was establish
ed through the Mckinley tariff law
of 1891. The Worlds Fair exhibi-
ton at Chicago demonstrated only
two years later that American tin
plate was fully equal in all qualities
to the best Welsh plate.
