The virginia Debt.

Inc virginia debt matter Is one
used campaign after campaign by the
Democrats to ride into power, but Il
steed that never lands that part,
near the threshold of victory. The
record of the Republican party In
West Virginia is full of pages of re.
sistance to the payment of the deb,
or any part OF Ii, the position being
taken at all times that this state
owes none of 1t. Democrats inten-
tionally overlook this record and re-
sort to, Islander and, destinations,
without the slightest foundation. The
Democratic nominee for congress in
the second district even went SO far
as to intimate that United States
Senator Stephen B. Elkfns was be-
hind the present litigation and that
he had some of the certificates. SEN
ator Elkins mot only denies having
any OF them but he also calls atten-
ton to the fact that he has ever, been
and is now opposed to- paying any
part Of the debt.

drag the Virginia debt into politics.
1t Is all the fault of Republicans that
Virginia has sued US; for. the Mother
State never would have done. so had
West Virginia remained Democratic!
Candidate Bennett thinks the debt
should be "amicably settled out of
court" and taken out OF the hands of
the United States Supreme Court by
some sort of hook or crook. Nearly
all cranks and grafters have this Pc
culiar view. But in the, mean time
West Virginia will be slow to believe
that Mr.. Bennett can make success
full politics out of the matter, though
like most slanderers he insinuates
that some Silent Influences are at
work which only sprang into life
when Democracy with heavy defic-
iency and strained credit gave up.
West Virginia to the party OF pros
perity and the party which admins
tiers public trusts with fidelity and
courage. and whose honesty cannot be
successfully impeached.

Our Tin Plate Mil.

One billion, thirty-six million, four
hundred and eighty-nine pounds of
tin plate were imported into this
country from foreign countries dur
ing the year 1891 which was along
about the beginning Of the tin plate
industry In the United Estates. That
year only $50 long tons of tin plate
were manufactured in this country.
Last year the imports OF this manu-
featured product had fallento Sits.
long tons while the amount manufac-
tured In this country had grown to
the enormous amount OF about half
million long tons, or. one billion,
one hundred and twenty million
pounds. A Republican protective
tariff system did this. From mere
beginning less than two decades ago,
the tin plate industry in the United
States has expended into a very I'm
portant manufacturing institution
while during the same time the i'm
ports have dwindled to compare
lively small amount. Not only has
the American workman, but the
American consumer also has been
benefited.
In 1890 the average price of tin
plate in New York was s5.15 for a
box of 10S pounds. Last year the
average price of the same box was
$4.2O. by making careful ssti-
mate of what tin plate would have
cost the consumer from the Begin
ming of 1892 to the middle of 1900,
had there been no American industry
and no protective tariff, and closely
calculating what it actually cost in
these years, with the protective tariff
and the American industry, 1t has
been found that the country saved to
that date fully $35,O00,O00 through
the Mckinley tin plate schedule.
Most of this saving was due to the
American product selling at so much
below the imported, but part was due
to the lower prices, at which the for
eign was sold, on account of the COM
petition, before the country made all
the tin plate 1t needed.
The average weekly earnings OF the
skilled labor in the American tin
mills are from two and a half to
three times as much as in Wales,
while the earnings of the common
laborer are fully twice as much. The
skilled men are on a tonnage besIs,
the rates per ton in the United States
eing more than double what they are
in Wales. In addition to this, the
American manufacturers invest a
great deal more money, probably
4 three times as much, in their plants,
making the mills heavier and employ
ling more convenient arrangement.
whereby the men are enabled to
make much larger tonnage output
per shift. When the American tin
plate industry was first established
the average output per hot mill per
turn was about SO boxes! against SO
4 in Wales. Improved practice and
! still heavier machinery was adopted
8 in the American plants, whereby the
