THE TINPLATE ORGAN AGAIN.

The one-hOrse organ of the tlnplate
trust, Tin and Terne," of Pittsburg,
has made the serious mistake of losing
its temper in its alleged argument with
the Register. Abuse is the refuge OF
him who has the worst of an argu-
ment. Calling the editor of the Regis
ter ''liar' and other bad names, which
decent journalists do not use, will
scarcely serve to refute the array OF
hard facts the Register has presented,
which the trust organ, despite its blind
wrath, is mighty careful to keep away
from.
Our trade contemporary would much
better have stuck to its calling and let
politics severely alone Its effort to
talk politics, or tariff, and trade at
the same time, produces peculiar con-
glomeration, which would be amusing
Aif the subject matter were not so i'm
Aportant to the American people, and
if it did not show, as it does conclus-
lively, that the tinplate trust organs
dare not face the honest proposition,
dare not admit the truth before the peo-
pie.
Tin and Terne" resumes its silly
effort to deceive by juggling the
terms tinplate and terneplate as to
the amount of tinplate alleged to have
~, mi IN
passage of the Democratic tariff of 1894.
AS the Register has many times knock
ed the bottom out Of this subterfuge,
which deceives no one at all acquainted
with the industry, we need not repeat
the process here. Suffice it to say that
if our Pittsburg contemporary is not
woefully ignorant of the history of the
industry, he knows that while
what is known as American tin
plate was made experimentally for po-
litical purposes prior to the passage of
the Wilson tariff in dipping estab-
lishments" which dipped foreign black
plates into foreign tin and called the
product american tinplate," it cut
no figure whatever in the market I'M
til the Democratic tariff in "a gave the
industry it's raw material. tin, free-a
policy wisely adhered to in the present
tariff.
As to this feature of the argument
when the American tinplate industry
was established will repeat GER
tain well known statistics. which our
Pittsburg contemporary has carefully
refrained from touching upon. If our
contemporary knows anything it knows
that from little more than nominal
existence under the Mckinley bill the
infant American tinplate industry
grew to remarkable proportions after
the passage of the Democratic Wilson
bill-which the trust politicians SAID
was blow aimed by British free trad
ers at American industry (they think
better of things British these days)-
the output of American tinplate having
reached 193,S00 .000pounds in 1895, S07..
100000 pounds in 1896, and 447 900, O0(
pounds in 1897, the last fiscal year un.

good judgment to place the practical
work of the observation-disclosures he

the army. The President blundered
again lin placing Otis in charge of the
Philippines campaign and he makes
the blunder worse by persiSting in it

unfitness for the work assigned him of
preserving order and keeping the Gu
bans contented by getting into state
of mind over the recent wise proclama-
ton issued by Gen. Wilson, the mill
| tary governor of Mantanzas. In this
proclamation Gen. Wilson addressing
his subordinates, reminds them that
they are not in the island as conquer
ors, but as friends of the population;
that they are expected to protect life
and property; that they must defer to
the civil authorities whenever possible
and that they must be courteous and
polite in dealing with the citizens of
Cuba
This proclamation which will meet
the approval of every intelligent man,
has highly incensed Brooke. 1t does not
represent Brooke's policy at all. That
inflated officer evidently looks upon
himself as a sort of conquering hero
and deputy emperor under the imper-
ial policy. At any rate he looks upon
the Cubans as a subjugated people and
treats them as conQueror of the mid
die ages might.
1t is probably hopeless to appeal to
Mr.. Mckinley to remove Brooke before
he provokes an outbreak of the hot
blooded and always restless Cubans.
Mr.. Mckinley was never known to cor
rect a mistake if he could help it, for
the correction of an error involves the
admission that one has been made,
which is not Mr. McKinley's policy.

Co say of cotton: Extensive Humiliation Of

tlon OF Stop orders, broke the market badly
Today. AT one time the pressure was so
heavy that it was thoroughly dennoralizad
but rallied on the support given by the old
bulls, who bought heavily, causing a sharn
reaction at the close. So far the move
ment. except at Houston does not show
the increase expected, but everything was
lost sight of to-day in the pressure of the
outside interests to Iiquidate their hold
lngs. 1t is evident the influence of the
bureau report in estimating the croql at
100000 bales has been more far-reaching
than the trade expected The question
now Is simply whether the foreign spinners

culates that The bureau, as heretofore will

started Europe selling to-day and was fol-
lowed by orders to sell by private wire
