"Why," he is reported to have said,
"three and four years ago could get all
the help wanted at almost any price
offered, and could put pay days off two

would stay with me. Now I am paying

NEARLY ALL TIN PLATE
PRODUCED AT HOME.
Striking lntance Of the Value Of Protcc-
tive Tariff.

The Democrats have fashion Of claim
ing that the tin plate duty is an impo-
sition on American consumers. Without
the duty which was originally imposed
by the Mckinley law of 1890, tin plate
manufacture would never have been be-
gun in the United States.
To-day nearly all the tin plate used in
the country is Of domestic manufacture.
The factories give employment directly
to thousands Of men and indirectly to
other thousands who produce the iron
which goes into the plate. tz
The United States imports and produc-
ton from 1892 to 1898, inclusive, have
been as follows, in long tons: "

there has been a marked change in senti-

The years work ended on that day, the
date being fixed by statute. He says re.
garding the general conditions:
"Everywhere the inspector found the

ders. The hum of the machinery was as

CANADA'S TOO Large BITE.
The KIondike Mines to be Deserted
For Nome.
MERCHANTS CLOSING OUT.

Tacoma, Wash, Feb. 14.-Late Daw-
son advices say little will be left of the
Klondike metropolis after the Nome
rush in May and June. Merchants are
closing out their places of business and
instead of every building being crowd
ed, ito let" signs are frequently seen.
Business is dying and most of these
dealers are going to Nome. Men are
working on creeks for SIS per day
rather than take higher wages payable
after the cleanup on the bedrock be-
cause they want their money in hand
when the ice goes out.
Many of these will go down the
Yukon in scows or canoes. One of the
greatest enterprises connected with
the immigration is the movement of
Palace Grand theater, Dawson's largest
dancehall and playhouse. Charles
Meadows, the proprietor, has let the
contract for moving the building 1000
miles to Nome, the contractor putting
up heavy bonds guaranteeing its safe
delivery. The building will be fioated
down the Yukon on four barges, and
thence lowed to Nome Other build
ings will follow. Many workmen are
leaving Dawson, because of the new
law preventing the relocation of claims
and providing that lapsed claims shall
revert to the crown. Another fatal
regulation provides that representa-
ton work may be avoided by paying
5000 yearly in lieu of three months
work.
Even the Canadians are cursing the
laws governing Yukon territory and
preparing to go to Nome. The Ameri-
can consul is being besieged by Cana
dians, who believe he can grant
naturalization papers.
