The Register makes the following re1
markable assertion: Twelve hundred
New York school children applied for
permission to work during their vaca-
lion. This shows state of affairs
among the masses in New York that
doesn't look very much like prosperity"
II shows no such state Of affairs. The
public school enrolment in New York
city is considerably more than half
million OF children, to say nothing of the
immense number attending private
schools and the parochlal schools. That
but twelve hundred public school chill
dren out of total Of more than $4,000
or 500 times 1900. should ask to work
during their vacation Of three months
shows very meagre percentage, and is
no sign whatever of lack of prosper
ity among the masses" 1t would be
strange IL in half million there were
not 1000 anxious to earn money to edu-
cate themselves.
The Register should remember that
the population OF New York City at
present-the Greater New York-was
given January /. last, at S,5sO,OOO. Many
thousands Of children in that great city
are not enrolled in the public schools;
they are mainly children OF the slums.
The poverty Of these poor people and
their Ignorance is not due to the lack of
prosperity. 1t is an inevitable oppor-
tionment to all cities. There are many
ignorant parents among classes that do
not even speak our language, and who
are keeping their children in Ignorance;
there are others whose poverty is due
to idleness, drunkenness, the children Of
women who are the victims Of lazy, me-
glectful or dissIpated husbands or
criminals. This is one of the features
OF great city with so enormous pop
ulatIon.
New York is not the only city in
which this condition exists. 1t has al
ways been true. and always will be-, so
long as the social evils that dominate
ere In existence. General prosperity
cannot wipe out this condition. It re-
auires more heroic treatment than DEM
asogic politics. 1t is a social and re-
iiglous question, which calls for the
gravest and most humane treatment in
All cities. Perhaps Wheeling, as small
as 1t Is, is not altogether free from L.
We ell know that it is not. Good people
are engaged in solving the problem, or
at least to amellorate the condition of
the innocents, in times of prosperity as
wen as in depressed times.

The city council should not delay be-
yond this week the matter of taking up
the pending application of the National
Telephone Company for a franchise to
do business in this city. While the pub
lie is anxious that the matter be not
delayed unnecessarily, however, 1t is not
desired that hasty action be taken, nor
that due consideration of every point In
volved be ignored. About all the argu-
ment on the question which can be adj
duced has appeared in the press and
the taxpayers and the property holders
are waiting to hear what councilmen
have to say on the proposition to give
the applicant for the franchise the priv
ileges asked for. They favor requiring

able and Just basis, in justice to the

Some Ignorance Exposed.


Concerning some historic facts about
tho birth and growth Of the tin plate
industry in this country, the Intelligent
Ger made the Register has Little Tin
Plate History" which Isn't history at
ain. II is unnecessary to remind the
Register that one of the Intelligeneer's
points was that the history Of the past
nine years has disproven the Demo-
cratic assertions that 1t was impossi-
BILE to manufacture tin plate in the
United States" The argument against
the contention that It could be was that
1t was a physical impossibllty, tariff or
no tarlff.
To be brief, the inaccuracies In the
Registers assertions of Saturday, were
so glaring as to cause considerable rIdi-
Guile among the manufacturers and not
few tln-plate workers Of its own city.
one Of them was: "It is a fact, not dis
puted, that the tin plate industry had
NO EXISTENCE WHATEVER, In this
country, prior to the passage Of the
tariff OF 1894, commonly known as the
Wilson bin" And further on It says:
"Although tremendous protective
tariff had been levied on imported tin
plate almost from TIME INiMEMoR-
IAL prior to 1S0i. there had never been
an ounce OF commercial American tin
plate made in all that time"
This last statement Is absolutely false.
II II were true, why did the Democratic
side OF Congress oppose the imposition
OF protective duty? 1t was due to the
fact that there was no protective duty
on tin plate that Mckinley advocated
one and his party sustained him. 1t
was argued in opposition that a duty OF
any sort could not help an industry that
could not be established in America and
would only tax the people to death. The
nbsurdIty of the statement that FOR
elgn tin plate was cheaper to our
American consumers" in the same
breath with the statement that there
had been q protective tariff on tin
plate from time immemoriai." knocks
the whole prop from beneath the argu-
ment that "a protective tnriht is n tax"
As to the first assertion, that the In
dustry had no existence whatever in
this country prior to the pnssnge Of the
Wilson tsrlrt of 1894, everybody engaged

A Citizen Propounds Some Inquiries
for Consideration Of Councilman.
70 TIT EaiisT q ihe Iatslligenser.
sIR:-The council Of this city, in oil
probability. will meet on Tuesday even-
ing OF this week. One very important
matter for consideration win be the
ordinance granting a franchise to the
National Telephone Company OF West
Virginia. L e., the $500 subscribed capi-
tai. $40 a share company.
The first question to Be solved by
council Is. whether It ls for the benefit
Of the public to have two telephone eH-
changes In Wheeling, with the conse-
quent increased burden upon the busi-
ness people Of being compelled to pat
roniEe both companies, at large addi-
tional cost, without advantage, but
with great inconvenience from not be-
ing able to determine which telephone
has made q call.
The second question IS, whether the
reasonable and proper regulations rec
commended by the city solicitor are to
be ignored by the council and that otti-
cial practically insulted, as he was by
the committee on ordinances.
Can any councilman say to himself
that there is such vital necessity for the
existence OF this new company's ex-
change IN the city Of Wheeling, that
peculiar privileges are to be extended to
It, so as to make its franchise valuable
enough to assure certain sale Of its
stock?
The people win never Justify the per-
mission asked for, with impudent bold
ness, to place telephone poles and wires
In front OF our highest buildingsin busi-
ness centers, TO the manifest danger to
life and property and the great incon-
venlence Of business men. In no event
will the public justify any grant which
does not compel an underground sys-
tenn. where the old company has It's
wires at present. CITIZEN.

in the business knows It Is untrue. Gov
eminent statistics Of exports and Inn
ports since 1891, when the Mckinley tin
plate aeheduie became a law, on July /.
the year being half over, gives the lie
to the statement.
In the year 1891, our imports Of tin
plate amounted to 1.O56,4s9,o7l pounds,
valued at $S5.7lS.92O; that was almost
unprecedented. as importers previous to
July /. imported great quantities to es-
cape the duty which would be in force
on that date. The following year, 1854
two years previous to the time the Reg
ister says the industry had no existence
here, the imports were but 422,l7s,2o2
pounds, valued at S12,s15.5s2. a decrease
Of about sixty per cent in each instance.
and the Mckinley duty had been in
force but one year. The United States
was making enough tin plate. with the
industry an infant, but year old, to
supply more than one-half the home de-
mand, Notwithstanding the large adj
vance importations to escape the duties.
It Is now practically supplying the
whole country, and gives employment to
$1,000 workmen, with the Dingley bill, a
Republican measure, In force, In fact
the industry is thoroughly established.
Another statement by the Register is
untrue-that the price Of tin plate has
been doubled, and that ut would be bet
ter to buy 1t abroad as we did prior to
1894" We have shown that We have
been buying It very little abroad since
1891. How does the Register expect to
have its standing maintained among the
tin plate workers Of the manufacturing
communities in which 1t circulates In
advocating the abolition Of the indus
try, sending the millions of money to
foreign country and throwing them out
Of employment? By this logic, we may
as well close up every American indus
Try and buy abroad as we did before
they were instituted in the United
States"
In conclusion, the Register is referred
to the following expression from q
paper read by Sir John j. Jenkins, NJ.
p, before the British Iron Trade Assoc
citation:
"rhe Importation Of tin plates Into tho
United States from Great Britain has nat
uFally been affected In measure cores
ponding to the growth Of the American
Industry. A recent diplomatic report has
pointed out that during the four years
preceding the passage Of the Mckinley act
The Importation OF British plates averaged
some 6SO,000,OO0 pounds In 1891, In pre-
vision Of the raised duty UNDER THE
MCKINLEY TARIFF, It was much In ex-
cess OF that average, and the following
year showed a correspondingly large fall
Ing of. During the four years ending
June. 1893 to 1896, the importation rapidly
declined"
The Register will observe that this
British authority notes that the produc-
ton In this country injured the exporta-
lions from England for over two years
previous to the passage Of the Wilson
bill. The Wilson duty was In force less
than three years Of the nine since the
industry first saw the light in this coun-
try. 1t has increased wonderfully in
the past two years.
