JUDGE PARKER OF NEW YORK

JUDGE PARKER OF NEW YORK.
Well, the agony is over and it is Judge
Parker who will have the honor of lead
ing the democratic party-to defeat. 1t
really didn't make much difference so
far as this part of the program is con.
cerned. But as matter of party policy
for the future it was much the best posi-
bic nomination. To be delivered from
Organism was necessity, even at the
danger of Caesarian operation. The
reaction from Bryan's vagaries has been
evident for some years, but the difficulty
has been how to get back to the old road
again. The convention. with the help Of
their candidate, took the short cut, and
just reversed itself. The convention it.
self had produced a platform without d
money plank at all. but Jndge Parker
telegraphed that his platform was gold
basis-and thus the democratic party
again, as it has hundred times since the
birth of the republican party, has given
its belated endorsement to the doctriues
OF the republican party. Judge Parker
seems to be, an honest man at least, but
the rest of it is told in the fact that his
leaders in the fight for his nomination,
could not say what his views we're on
the money question. That was only
known for certain after Parker sent his
telegram. For two campaigns the money
question was made the paramount issue
by the democrats-now they have nomi-
mated man for president whose views
on that question were not known until
after his nomination. Certainly Parker
cannot be very we'll known by his own
party, which. argues little for hiss ability
and nothing for his leadership.

by a trust. This is not matter of tariff
except that the tariff provided something
to be swallowed.
The industry is all right, nobody has
felt the cost, if any, for establishment,
that has been money well expended; and
if the trust becomes obnoxious, then ac-
cording to democratic reasoning, if the
tariff makes the trust, we have a ready
weapon with which to smash the trust.

THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF THE
PINK PAPER.

To our republican friends who made
such claim for protective tariff on tir
eight or twelve years ago, on account O
the necessity for developing our tir
mines we call attention to the following
government report on the source of pro
.duction of that article for the year 1908.
The worlds production of tin in 1903
amounted to 81, 536 long tons, of
which the Straits furnished "a, 1917
tons, Banca 15,O70 tons, Billion
1868, Bolivia g, 500 tons, and other
countries $50 tons. Only 30 tons
of this total amount were mined in
the United States and not more
than 200 tons of metallic tin have sey-
er been produced from ore mined in
this country. "a sf5s
1t will be noted also that the total
production of tin in the United States for
al time is placed. at mot more than 200
tons"
VI The duty is imposed for the benefit OF
the manufacturers who are few and the
added cost is taxed to every family, for
all must use tinWare.
. Think Of it whenever you go to pur-
chase an article OF tinWare. That article
8is costing you from 20 to 80 per cent

The P. T. says that the duty on tin
makes the utensil cost 30 per cent more
than it otherwise would. That is equiv
aleht to saying5the duty onipig tin must
be at least 100 per cent, which it isn't

the schedule.

Of the manufacturers" says the p. P.

isn't manufactured by anybody and the
Pink Paper has just finished in a
sentence previous saying that no tin has
been mined IN this country. But if no.
body here either manufacturers" or
mines tin the tariff on tin can't be bene-
fitting anybody to any extent.
The facts in general, in reference to
the manufacture of tinplate in this coun-
try, without going into minute particulars
are as follows:
we quote from the same census report
referred to by the P. P.
up to the year 1890 the manufacture OF
tin and terne [roo6ng] plates was carried
on in the United States under great dit
ficulties." One of the difficulties specified
by the report is the low rate Of wages in
England and Wales. In spite of the diff:
terence in wages a few feeble factories
managed to do some business !, in this
country. Then the census report again
says; ITO meet this competition the for
eign manufacturers reduced the selling
price to such low figures, that the mar.
ket became improbable and was wholly
Prior to 1890 we bought nearly all our
tinplate from England. In the twenty
years previous to 1891 we purchased ov-
er three hundred-thirty-three million dol.
lars of tinplate from England. In the
year 1891 we bought over twenty-five
million dollars worth. In the year 1901
we bought only four and halt million
dollars worth.
Prior to 1890 we manufactured almost
no tinplate; the production has increased
from that to s49, ,Ooo, 600 pounds In 1900.
There are 6e factories employing nearly
IL, 600 wage earners, who receive SIC, ,00O,
600 yearly in wages.
The Pink Paper says the ''robber tar
lift" is to blame for this. 1t is undoubt-
edly true. We are inclined to think
from what we remember of political his
tory, that about 1890 man named Nc
Kinley came quite prominently into pub
lie view through his tariff ideas. Perhaps
he was also somewhat to blame for this
terrible state of affairs.
BY the way we note that that same
census report to which the P. P. refers
us, states that the price Of pig tin in the
foreign markets increased from IA
cents pound in 1893 to % cents pound
in 1900. The census report says this was
caused mostly by the, increased manu-
facture of tinplate inSthesU u. S. But ac-
eordiRg to the p. p. reasoning, what
with hundred per cent duty together
with a hundred per cent increase in the
value Of pig tin, only millionaires could
now afford to use tin plates on their
tables.
It is fact Of common knowledge that
tinware is sold just as .cheaply, if not
cheaper, at retail than it ever was. OF
course il is subject to fluctuations Tor the

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

No one who is acquainted with its
good qualities can be surprised at the
great popularity Of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. It not only cures colds
and grip effectually and permanently,
but prevents these diseases from re-
sulting in pneumonia. It is also a
certain cure for Group. Whooping
cough is not dangerous when this
remedy is given. It contains no opium
or other harmful substance and may
be given as confidently to a baby as to
an adult. 1t is also pleasant to take.
When all of these facts are taken into
consideration it is not surprising that
people in foreign lands, as we'll as at
home, esteem this remedy very highly
and very few are willing to take any
other after having once used 1t. For
sale by all druggists.
