DEMOCRATICNoNstN sE.

A Tin Trade Journal Shove wherein
the Wheeling Register Doesn't
Know History.
The following editorial in the current
issue Of Tin ana Terne. of Pittsburgh.
win be appreciated in view OF some re-.
cent remarks by the Register Of this
city on the subject Of the tin plate
industry:
ut has been necessary from time to
time to call attention in these columns
to the nonsense which is fed to the pub
Tic by the Democratic press In reference
to the tin plate industry. There can be
no objection to the Democratic press
proving in a logical way whatever II
has q mind 10, and then lnvelBhing IN
as strong terms as Il can and against
the protective principle and the capital
and brains which have developed the
industries of the country and are Civ
ing employment, at good wages to the
woTklngmen. But a wholesale diBre-
gard Of facts which are as wen eBtab-
llshed as the signing OF the Declara-
ton of Independence or the existence
OF the Washington monument should
not be passed unnoticed.
In paper published in Wheeling, W..
Va. and called the Register. there Is
under date Of July 10, an editorial In
which an effort Is made to prove that
the Wilson law, and not the Mckinley
law, Is responsible for the existence OF
the tin plate industry In the United
States It denies the existence OF the
tin plate industry prior to the reduc-
ton in duty made by the Wilson bill,
when the government statistics show
that up to the date When the Wilson
law became effective. there were pro-
duced In this country 50l. 035,021 pounds
Of tin and terne plate, and this Is a
fact about which there can be no ques-
ton or doubt whatever.
The statement Is made IN this wholly
misleading editorial that the Wilson
bill reduced the tariff on tin plate to IL
cents a pound, when the fact is the
Wilson duty was 1.2 cents pound. a
statement due to either unblnshing eff
frontcry or inexcusable carelessness,
and 1t Is claimed that the tin plate
industry was established here by this
reduction In duty and the taking on Of
the duty on pig tin.
As to the Wilson tin plate duty, II
was partly protective. The industry
had made such advances under the Nc
Kinley law that methods had been Inn
proved, skill acquired. and costly ex-
periments made, so that a reduction in
the original rate was not incompatible
with the survival OF the industry. AS
II was, wages were reduced materially.

A Case ofGarblIng.

BY garbllng and misconstrulng an
editorial in Thursdays Intelligencer,
commenting upon an alleged interview
with Secretary Alger which the Regis
ter published, that paper seeks to show
that this paper is Kicking Alger when
he is down." and attacks him. The
truth OF the matter is that the Intelll-
gencers article discredlted the Regis
ter's dispatch" 1t referred to 1t in
the opening of its article as Sensations
al and, in about every instance
through the comment as an alleged
interview"
AS an evidence that the Intelligencer
regarded the story as a partisan fake, -
1t spoke Of 1t as having appeared In a
yellow journal, and that Secretary AL
ger was made to say things that placed
him in a bad light, in view of the fact
that he had not yet formally retired
from the Presidents cabinet.
1t held that, IL the secretary had au-
IthorIzed such statement, rejecting
upon the President, under the cIrcum-
stances, and before his retirement to
private life, he had done an unworthy
thing.
The Registers garbled extract did
not place the Intelligencer in proper
position. The Register did not desire
to do that, although our nelghbor
doesn't believe in "Pecksnlllian jour
nallsm," and would blush to mIsrepre-
sent anybody. II 1t had forgotten for
the moment that 1t wasn't n Pecksnlft,
1t would have shown its readers that
the Intelligencer's comments dlscredit-
ed the report, but pointed out that q
man in General Ayers position would
hardly permit an assault, in his name,
upon the President who had paid him a
graceful tribute in accepting his resig-
nation. 1t would have quoted. with the
garbled extracts, the following closing
paragraph of the IntellIgencer's article,
which, taken with the Registers CONF
ments, demonstrates the "Pecksnlff" in
the case:
1t is hard to believe that Secretary Alger
would bellttlc himself by such selt-eSalta-
tion and We believe he has been misguided
Certainly no beneAt can come TO the Demo-
cratic cause, as against President Mckln-
ley, by exploiting this alleged boast. The
public Is able to judge between the man
who Is mot great but boasts that he is, and
the man who is great but does not openly
boast OF IL Surely Secretary Alger knew
this.
The Register further declares that.
VIXEN the IntellIgencer said Secretary
Alger is represented as opening up with
the statement that The American peo-
pie shall see who Is the greater and
more benevolent man-william McKin-
ley or l.. grossly misrepresented AL
GER" Granting that these were not the
words used by Alger. the fact, as the
Register says. that they were the ''sar-
castle comments of the reporter" goes
to show the interview was SO construed
in It's meaning. which served the parti-
san intent OF the entire article, the
statements in which have already been
shown to be inaccurate by others well
posted.

The Pittsburgh Dispatch, in a
lengthy article on industrial conditions
in and about that city. shows that there
is work for all idle men; that there is
no need for the laborers to seek en-
ployment; that employers are seeking
the men, and that there is no industry
that does not need skilled and unskill-
ed workers. Metal workers are being Of
fered bonuses. The supply of labor does
not meet the demand. This is true in
the mine districts. as well as in the
factories. 1t would be good time for
Mr.. Bryan to take a tour Of our manu-
featuring centres. He would be given

The New York Journals sensational
story to the effect that General Otis
may be court-martialed on charges
made by Generals Lawton and Mac
Arthur of ineficIency. is probably not
well founded. Time will develop
whether 1t is true or not, but 1t savors
very much of sensational journalism.
The New York Journal is scarcely the
source that would be selected for the
original circulation OF such serious
story. 1t does not correspond with pre-
vious statements from official sources
concerning the intentions regarding
General Otis. Notwithstanding he has
been the subject of criticisms among
army officers.
