THE CITIZEN MISCELLANEOUS TEE "BLOOMING JAY." THE PANIC AN AMERICAN TIN PLATE CREATED IN NEW YORK SCHOOLS. How an Innocent Campaign Souvenir Was "Boppre»»ed" by Tammany— How Children and Grown People Can Out wit Tammany, llarrlty and OroTer. The Democrats are evidently afraid of Ihe tin plate argument. They know that nnder the McKinley law the manufac ture of tin plate in this country has not only become practicable, but many mil lions of dollars have been invested in it, forty or fifty establishments for its manufacture opened, and thousands of workmen given employment at good prices. So they see that the feature of the McKinley law, which they most strongly denounced, is already proved a blessing. But they want to conceal that fact and prevent people talking or thinking about it, or about the benefit which protection brings. And the}- have decided to use the official machinery of Tammany in New York city to prevent it. This was the way it came about: The Protective Tariff league, through its sec retary, Mr. Wilbur F. Wakeman, de cided to bring the tariff question, and particularly the tin plate featare of it, to the attention of the families of New York by distributing to the school chil dren as they came from the schools daily some cute little tin plates, made of American tin, which bear a suitable legend and are a matter of interest to everybody. So they sent men to the school buildings to distribute them free of cost as the children trooped out at the end of the day. The children went wild over it. Every one wanted one of the pretty, shining toys for himself or her self, and one or two for the sister or brother at home. The result was that hundreds of thousands of the bright, handsome little plates were going into the families of the city, and carrying upon them this legend: FROM EflGlAnSs>Jl AND pauper PAr TSj\lA I AhD WHEN I PLAY \=£UJC/REA7 BRITAIN'S hAftO/**®* This was too much for Tammany. To see beautiful little souvenirs of this kind l>earing protection sentiments going into the families of Democratic New York would not do. So a consultation was held iu the secret chambers of Tam many, and blue coated policemen were detailed to stand guard at the schools and prevent the distribution of the plates. Of course they carried out their orders, and when the eager children next day looked anxiously for the dis tributers they found them not. They had been informed that they would be arrested if they continued their distribu tion. But it will not stop here. Under re publican administration of the United States government the mails are open to all who want to use them, whether Democrat or Republican, black or white, old or young, of American or foreign birth. And one of the pretty little tin plates, which is accurately represented in the cut, can be sent with safety by mail. And the children —and grown people, too—of the city and the whole United States are smart enough to know that. They can outwit Tammany Hall and Chairman Harrity and Mr. Cleveland and all the Demo cratic machine by sending a two cent stamp to Wilbur F. Wakeman, Protect ive Tariff league, New York, and ask ing for one of those cute little tin plates to be sent by mail. And they will get them. European Rrlbes. Nothing has proven more conclusively the great advantage which our reci procity treaty gives the United States over the European countries than the development of the scheme on the part of Germany to induce South American governments to break off their reci procity treaties with the United States. The evidence seems to be beyond ques tion that an offer was sent from Ger many to President Heureux, of San Domingo, proposing to pay him $50,000 a year if he would break off the reci procity treaty with the United States. President Heureux, it seems, sent a spe cial envoy to the United States to see if this country would make a higher bid. Secretary Foster replitd promptly that "The United States is neither to be blackmailed or bullied. If your coun try breaks the treaty it must be prepared to bear all the consequences, for in my mind the word 'reciprocity' is associated with 'retaliation.'" Pension BUI Vetoes. The following is an accurate record of the number of pension bills to which the presidents since 1860 have refused their signatures. It is verified by statements of the Democratic campaign text book, and its accuracy therefore will not be questioned: Lincoln None JobnEon None Grant '» Hayes None Garfield None Arthur Noue Cleveland 524 Harrison None The Democratic campaign text book •ajn of the present system of national •urrency: "It is readily conceded that the currency has been uniform; that the losses from discounts unci exchanges have been light; that the system was of great assistance in the struggle for the Uniou; that depositors have lost little and that note holders have lost nothing." This seems to be a sufficient argumeut against exchanging it for the wildcat currency under which the losses in the decade prior to the n at amounted to 975,000,000. Pre-eminent for cough and cold. Mr. Win. J. Beeclier, 142 Whitesboro St., Utica, N. Y., writes: "Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup has cured my two children of a very bad cough and cold, which they have had for some time. It cannot be equaled for coughs or colds. I bave always used it." —The ultra-masculine maiden pants for trousers. Lane's Family Medicine Moves the bowels each day.
