How Samuel J. TiIden Met Thomas 8.
Reed at Session of Committee
That Was Investigating the
Presidential Election.

The first congress which was or
Eanized after the Inauguration Of
President Hayes adopted a resolution
providing for an investigation Of the
manner in which the presidential cleo
ton of the year previous was con-
Quoted in the states of Louisiana and
South Carolina. The purpose of this
investigation. although not the ac-
knowledged purpose, was to discover
whether returning boards in either or
both of those states had been bribed
to make returns in favor of the Re-
publican electors of those states.
Clarkson M. Potter was the chairman
of this committee. He was the elder
brother of Rev. Dr. Henry C. Potter,
who afterwards became bishop of the
Protestant Episcopal diocese OF New
York. He was a lawyer of some dis
dnction and man of unusual charm
of personal character.
This committee held several SEES
sions at the Fifth Avenue hotel in
New York in the winter of 1873. Sam
uel ]. Tilden, the defeated Democratic
candidate for president, for whom new
ertheless a plurality of the people had
voted, was subpoenaed as a witness to
appear before this committee. Some
of the Republican members of the
committee were anxious to test Gov
ernor Tilden's knowledge as to wheth-
er or not cipher dispatches, so called,
containing improper propositions. had
been sent by some of those who were
managing the Democratic campaign to
the returning boards of South Caro-
lima and Louisiana
Mr.. Tilden appeared before the com.
mittee in response to the subpoena
one afternoon. He stood beside the
chair Of Mr.. Potter, one hand resting
upon the back Of the chair. The ex-
preston on Governor Tilden's face
ives extremely stern OF course he
commanded the intensest interest on
the part Of every member of the com
mittee, some OF whom had never be-
fore seen him. Slowly, with penetrat-
ing although almost furtiye look, he
glanced from one member of the COM

to measure them. At last his eyes
fell upon the junior member of the
committee; and the defeated presi-
Dental candidate seemed to be fasei-
mated, or at least intensely occupied,
with the conduct of that young man.
This youngest member of the COM
mittee sat at the lower end Of the
table, his chin resting in the palm of
one hand. He fixed upon Governor
Tilden strange. curious glance, with
something of luizzical suggestion, and
there seemed TO play about his lips
the faint flicker of smile. And so
these two men watched each other,
each apparently being oblivious to the
presence of any other person.
/ was sitting a little to the rear of
my friend, the late Congressman Will
liam M. Springer of Illinois, who was
member of the committee. He turned
to me and said:

uring each other up"

table was Thomas B. Reed, at that

"If have any special information
which qualities me to speak with some
authority upon the resources of the
United States and their development
and their chances of development. 1t
is due wholly to the fact that l have
made a careful study of the tariff my
chief work. especially since have
been a member of the ways and
means committee. l will illustrate
what ] am saying TO you by asking
you a question. 1t is this: What. do
you think, is the most valuable min
eral-valuable in the sense of the
greatest possible deyel9pment-to the
United States?"
DO you mean to include the prec,
ious metals. like gold or silver?"
asked.
No, because gold and silver are Of
especial and exclusive importance be-
cause they are the basis of our
money"
Well. then, of course, should say
that iron is the most valuable"
Il have my doubts about that" Mr..
Mckinley replied. "Of course, iron is
of the utmost Importance for the de-
velopment of our industries, and for
our railroads; We have. however,
plenty OF iron. On the other hand the
metal which. in my opinion. is almost
as valuable and important as iron to
this country. is one of the few min
erals which the United States does
not produce in any commercial guam
tity. Can you guess now what it is? p"
| shook my head.
1T is TIM" said the man who was
to be the Trainer of a tariff bill. who
was to write the tariff plank in two
national Republican platforms. and
who was to be elected president upon
a protection tariff plank. "The world
now largely depends upon the use of
tin for no small part of its food. With
out tin food could not be put into
packages so that armies can be fed
wherever they are; without it pros
pectors who are exploiting our re-
sources and explorers could not be
assured of their daily supply Of food.
Without food. what is an army, what
the ability of the men who are build
ing railroads across deserts, or
through the great forests and mountain
stretches of the west? Tin cans, tin
cases. humble tin receptacles OF all
sorts-what an important part they
play in every day life, in the average
kitchen of the Republic? Yes, my ex-
perience in the school of tariff making
has led me to the belief that this hum

Seven years later, as chairman Of

tariff bill that bears bis name in his
tory Probably the most striking sin
gle schedule in it-snd unquestiopa-
bly, the schedule that caused the
greatest popular discussion-w that
which placed duty upon tin plate;
and before he died Mckinley had the
satisfaction of knowing that because
of this duty the United States had be-
come Independent of the world as a
manufacturer OF tin products. and an
exporter OF them as well.

Cement Talk Nc. 7

Newspapers print near
ly every day the story of
some fire disaster involv-
ing the complete destruction
of great property values and
sometimes the loss of human
lives. The annual FIRE losses of the
United States are measured by the
millions; in fact, it is stated that over
two hundred and fifty million dollars
worth of property was wiped out by fire in
the United States last year. While il is true
that the precautions TO prevent fire and FIRE
fighting systems are often inadequate, the
main trouble lies in fling, non frsbroof
building contraction. Experience has proved
that freproof construction is both practicable
and economical. In some industries freproof
building is compelled by law. Reinforced
concrete has come TO the front as the most
important agent in building against fire. The
use of cement in building is becoming more
snd more common, due TO its hreproofncsS,
durability and economy. When building any
