best work that lithography can do in the way OF
reproducing coors without exaggerating or losing
any OF the most delicate tones and values of the
original The contents OF the number will be in
harmony with the exquisite finish OF the covers.
There will be nothing ireaky gaudy or sensational
but all will be bright entertaining and fitted for the
holiday season in the homes OF cultured families

maker 81 Washington, Pa, Who has
undertaken the establishment Of an
independent plant and who testified
before the industrial commission,

sun:
The managers OF some Of the

growing restless under these re-
strictions placed on them, a. they
were not running nearly 80 steadily

effected. OF the 2.2 mills In the

tie also understood that the en-
ployes in the trust mills were be-
coming apprehensive. which he
thought was illustrated by the fact
that or the so rollers employed by
the combination no fewer than LOO
dad made application 10 him tor

An ITEM from Pittsburg, Nov. p /,
in The Am. rican Metal Market,
SAYS:
The Lisbon. o., tin pate mill
closed Saturday, and it il stated
that los mills out Of the original
mills taken into the tin plate trust,
are at present closed. F."
Thus. even in period OF great
industrial and commercial activity,
this trust exposes the hollowness OF
the pretense 20 often advanced in
support Of protective duties that they
increase the opportunities for the
employment of labor

Al statement about th- tin plate
rust. with no intention OF hostility
20 the gentlemen composing the
American tin plate company. They
are men OF good business reputation,
but the point that the league would
maze l. that il Is not safe 10 give 10
them, or to any other body OF men,
the power which i afforded by pro-
tecti1n duties. such a. the tax on
tin plates. Every well wisher Of
his country ought to join in the de-
mand that this duty, and every 9th

should be removed.
