THOSE who have observed the Prince |
of Wales say that one of tlie peculiari
ties that stick to him is that of reddening
about the cheeks and forehead when
suddenly vexed. With him it iseasyto
raise a royal flush.
THE Newsdealer continues to hold up
for David B. Ilill with a tenacity that
might easily be used to better advantage.
Hill is so far out-distanced in the race
that the memory of his boom is all that
remains. The Newsdealer would do well
to drop him and place the State ticket
where Hill and Gray now stand.
TnE recent announcement that this
government lias paid $21,000 out of the
contingent fund to Italy as indemnity
for the lynching of the New Orleans
Italians is arousing much discussion.
By what authority Harrison has used
money for such a purpose is not stated,
and the Democratic House will probably
inquire into the matter. When Benny
goes so far as to imagine he is the United
States Government it is time to present
him with a back seat.
A NEW YORK JUDGE has decided that
where a local assembly of the Knights
of Labor disbands the funds revert to
the district assembly to which it was
subordinated. The local assembly in
this case was compased of silk workers,
whodropped off until only seven (enough
to hold the charter) were left. There
being considerably over SSOO in the treas
ury, the seven remaining members voted
to disband and divide the proceeds.
This the court held they could not do.
JUST how General Lilly intends ex
plaining to workingmen, when he asks
for their votes, why he refused to com
ply with the semi-monthly pay law until
he was placed under bail, is one of the
enigmas of the coming campaign. Still,
Lilly will not need to do much explain
ing. The average Republican working
man would vote for him if he were the
greatest criminal on earth. Anybody
who is stamped with Quay's brand seems
good enough for the votes of that party.
SENATOR GORMAN, of Maryland, is
receiving mucli attention just now from
a certain clique in the Democratic party,
He is named as a man who would be
acceptable to all portions of the country
as a Presidential candidate, and, it is
claimed, would unite the party. That is
all that can lie said for him, politically.
His views on the tariff are those of high
protectionist, and they are sufficient to
keep his name out of tlie Chicago con
vention. We want no protectionists of
any kind.
THE committee appointed to investi
gate the working of the pension office,
as conducted by Commissioner Raum,
have brought to light such abuse of
power that calls for tlie immediate dis
missal of that official and a number of
his subordinates- When Tanner was
fired from charge of this department it
was thought tlie country had heard the
last of pension scandals, but recent reve
lations show that bureau is a veritable
hotbed of corruption, embracing every
form—political, moral and miscellaneous.
The most influential Republican papers
are calling upon Harrison and Noble to
demand Raum's resignation, and for the
sake of tlie country's name it is hoped
their request will be heeded.
Cleveland and Victory.
The wisdom of nominating Cleveland
is patent to every man who takes any
interest in politics. As lias been frequent
ly said he is himself a platform. He
lias clear convictions and speaks them
frankly. One need not he a Democrat
to admire liis high conception of public
office as a public trust. His courage and
fearlessness in expressing his ideas upon
tariff reform cost liini a re-election, but
brought the overwhelming majority of
Democrats into agreement witli him,
and inspired Blaine to insist upon the
embodiment of the famous reciprocity
feature in the McKinley act.
Politicians have again and again ju
bilantly proclaimed the downfall of his
popularity, but with no advertising bu
reau, no wire-pulling machinery, he
emerges from all their attacks the clear,
first-class choice of his party. Ilillißm
has weakened popular trust in tlie sin
cerity of the Democratic party, and tlie
free silver craze has provoked question
as to its sanity, but tlie nomination of
Cleveland on a sound money platform
would go far to restore confidence, and
the party could enter upon the struggle
of 1892 with victory assured.
llumoro of Railroad Trouble.
Humors, emanating mainly from New
York, have been in circulation for
several days to the elfect that employes
of the Philadelphia & Beading Railroad
were dissatisfied and likely to engage in
a general strike. Inquiries fail to obtain
any foundation whatever for the rumors,
and, what is more, inasmuch as no union
! men are employed on the Reading Road,
or at least on the old system, the likeli
hood of a general strike is extremely
improbable.
As a matter of history the troubles
between the Reading Company and its
employes are well known. When the
company overcame those troubles the
[ union men had to go or sever their
connection with their unions. This
applied as well to members of the rail
road brotherhoods as to the Knights of
Labor, and the order has been in force
since.
The conditions on the Lehigh Valley
and New Jersey Central roads not being
the same, it is natural that the employes
of those roads who belong to unions
should have some doubt as to the posi
tion their new employer, the Reading,
would assume with regard to them. It
is probable some of them have talked
ever the matter, but, so far as is known,
President McLeod anticipates no trouble.
It is not even known whether the ques
tion of unionism has been raised.
It has been flatly denied in official
sources, however, that the men in the
Reading's employ are in any way dis
satisfied.
Coal Operatorn anil tlie Combine.
Pathetic is the word to describe the
business position of some of the coal
operators of the anthracite coal region.
Apparently they are the owners of
valuable properties, and arc in that
position of independence and power as I
employers of large numbers of men
which ambitious men strive for a life
time to attain.
But as a matter of fact they are verita
ble slaves of a soulless combine, which
uses them as so many pawns in its mam
moth financial game. They can mine
coal, it is true, but they cannot sell it.
The independent proprietor of an insig
nificant broom factory is a king among
men in comparison with the individual
operator under the combine, for he can
go into the open market and sell his pro
duct to the best advantages.
The individual operator fills so many
cars of coal as the combination furnishes
him. He knows not to-day what to-mor
row may bring forth.— Tri-Weeh/y Record.
"Protection or Free Trade" in Congre.H.
The Republicans kicked up quite a
row in the House last week when they
discovered that the Democrats were
printing Henry George's "Protection or
Free Trade" in the Congressional Record.
It seems that when a member does not
get a chance to speak, he is given per
mission to print his remarks.
Mr. Fittman, of Illinois, Mr. Wash
ington of Tennessee, and Mr. Stone, of
Kentucky, took advantage of this per
mission and each had several chapters
from "Protection or Free Trade" insert
ed as part of their remarks. In this
way the Democrats hoped to get the best
book on free trade printed free by the
government, so that they could use it as
a campain document.
The House promptly supported the
free trade members, but the practice is
hardly to be commended, notwithstand
ing the fact that the Republicans have
been equaly guilty.
Progress of tlie Single Tax.
The Standard contains an interesting
review of the great progress recently
made by the single tax movement in this
country and other countries. The single
tax petition to Congress has been referred
to the ways and means committee of the
House, with good prospects for a favor
able report.
Contrary to the predictions of Wash
ington newspapers, the commissioners
for the District of Columbia have practi
cally made a favorable report on Con
gressman Johnson's bill, providing for
the adoption of the single tax in the
District.
The executive committee of the Nat
tional Single Tax League proposes an
international single tax congress at Chi
cago during the Columbian Exposition,
to be followed by a convention of single
tax organizations of the United States.
Hyattsville, Md., has obtained a new
charter, under which personal property
and improvements may pe exempted
from taxation.
15. 0. Flower, editor and proprietor of
the Arena , declares for the single tax in
the leading editorial in the April num
ber of that influential magazine. The
j Detroit Neics and New York Times con
j tinue to advocate the single tax intelli
! gently and fearlessly.
' The late city election in Pittsburg re
sulted in a victory for the candidates for
council who advocated increased taxa
j tion of land values. The above items
j form only a part of the record for a

Impolicy of Prohibitive Protection.
Prohibitive protective duties always j
lead to dishonesty. There is but slight J
difference between the crime of the !
smuggler who brings goods into the [
country without paying duty and the j
fraud of the manufacturer who substi
tutes slioddy and cowhair for wool
because of the prohibitive tax on his
raw material. The smuggler cheats the
government and the shoddy manufac- j
turer cheats his customers.
All laws destructive of the natural j
right which men have of exchanging !
with one another the products of their
industry are unfair and onerous. In J
Buckle's "History of Civilization" he
sets forth this principle very clearly in
reviewing the attempts of governm'ents j
to regulate the business of borrowers j
and lenders. "Nearly every country,"
he says, "has taken steps to prevent
usury and keep down the interest of j
money. For, since no prohibition, how
ever stringent, can destroy the natural
relation between demand and supply,
it has followed that when some men
want to borrow, and other men want to I
lend, both parties are sure to find the j
means of evading a law which interferes
with their natural rights. If the two
parties were left to adjust their own bar
gain undisturbed, the ÜBury would de
pend on the circumstances of the loan;
such as the amount of security, and the
chance of repayment. By enactments
against usury, governments have always
increased what they wished to destroy.
Governments pass laws which the im
perative necessities of men compel them
to violate. The penalty for such viola
tion invariably falls on the borrower
instead of the lender." — Record.
Defiance to tlie People.
The Republican platforms of this year
continue the impudent command of that
party to the people to "change your
minds 1"
In Massachusetts, in Pennsylvania,
and in all other States where conven
tions have been held this spring, every
abuse and every wrong which the voters
rebuked in 1890 iB defended and extoled.
The worse-than-war tariff, the extrav
agance of the billion dollar congress,
the Reed autocracy, the silver swindle,
the pension recklessness, and even the
odious Force bill, by fair implication, are
all reaffirmed as Republican doctrine
and policy.
The people, upon a square issue and
after a fair hearing, rebuked and repu
diated the Republican record in the con
gressional elections by the great majority
of 1,300,000. In the important and typi
cal States of New York, Massachuetts
and lowa they repeated this condemna
tion last year with increased emphasis.
And yet the Republican conventions
go right on defying the people as though
popular government were a sham and
the voters a pack of idiots. In Penn
sylvania they even had the bravado of
their Bourbonism to the extent of eulogiz
ing the "earnest public and party servi
ces of Matthew Stanley Quay," the
notorious embezzler and corruptionist.
The response of the people to this bra
zen defiance will be both interesting and
instructive if the Democrats are equal
to their opportunity.— N. Y. World.
Character of th German Kmperor.
The new emperor, on mounting the
throne, was of course expected to sus
tain the policy of a minister whom his
grandfather had honored with every
mark that a loyal subject or even a
money loving one could ask. The reign of
Frederick 111, less than a hundred days,
had been too short and too full of phys
ical suffering to let the world know the
strength and breadth of the ruler whom
Bismarck next appeared to represent.
In his successor the Germans have an
emperor who, has not only abundant
physical energy and endurance, but has
with it a contempt for humbug, social
ism and the crooked police methods that
always suggest a feeblo or rotten execu
tive. Ho is a practical manager and
does not pretend to be a savior of so
ciety. He has no quack nostrum for
poverty, crime, prostitution or the dis
content that sets class against class.
His business is to see that the govern
ment machine runs Bmoothly, that com
petent men aro employed, that the peo
ple's taxes are spent for the public good,
that the law is administered without
favor and that reforms are inquired
into. He has the mind of a Yankee, he
loves experiment, his methods are di
rect. He is the sort of man that forges
to the front in a new country. We can
imagine him learning his trade in Borne
machine Bhop, then rapidly rising to a
position where inventive talent, thor
oughness, patience and, above all, hon
esty tell—say, at the head of some great
manufacturing or shipbuilding enter
prise.
On his succession to power, 1888, he
did what most intelligent young mon do
when suddenly placed in charge of an
estate. He inquired how the previous
manager had done his work; he exam
ined personally into cases of alleged
wrong; he noted carefully the testimony
of qualified observers; his eyes were
opened to the need of reform in many
directions; he suggested these reforms
to his manager; the manager did not
agree with the master; the manager re
signed and now spends his time in em
barrassing as far as he can the move
ments of the manager who has super
seded him. The immediate cause of
Bismarck's resignation will be known
when the emperor chooses to make the
matter public. Today we can regard
only the official acts of the minister, and
from these infer what reason there was
for his being retired.—Poultney Bigelow

SWANK'S BOOMERANG
LUDICROUS SHOWING OF THE PRO
TECTIONIST "TIN PLATE LIARS."
The Manufacturers' AHaociatlon Reports
Three Times as I.urge a Product as
Manager Swank Can Find—The Con
sumers' Association Finds Still Less.
So much has been said and written on
the rise of the tin plate industry in the
United States as completely to bewilder
the people. On one side claims are ad
vanced that the growth of the industry
since the McKinley tariff went into ef
fect is phenomenal; on the other, all
these claims are denied and the counter
claim is set up that only a little tin plate
has yet been made, chiefly by coating
imported sheets of iron or steel, and that
the total product is less than 1 per cent,
of the consumption.
The Tin Plate Manufacturers' associa
tion has done much to create a favora
ble impression. On Jan. 9it gave out
for publication a list of the works in op
eration, with their capacity, and those
now building and projected. Twenty
four of these, it claimed, were already
turning out tin plate, with an estimated
weekly capacity of 38,550 boxes, while
four others would soon be in operation.
This statement was published in full by
The Bulletin of the American Iron and
Steel Association and other high tariff
papers.
In January last the Tin Plate Con
sumers' association issued a statement
to the offect that the production of tin
plate in this country was equal to less
than 1 per cent, of the consumption, and
consisted largely of terne plates made
from imported sheets of iron or steel.
And in order to get at the facts the as
sociation sent out to its members a cir
cular letter requesting them to send in
reports of the amount of American tin
plate used by them since the duty went
into effect. So far 115 reports have been
received, exactly 100 of which declare
that their writers have not bought any
American plate whatever, while fifteen
report that they have bought some—the
total being 665 boxes.
Each of the above statements is vouch
ed for as being perfectly correct. Which
I is to be believed?
The manager of the American Iron
and Steel association issues annually a
directory of the iron and steel indus
tries, a publication which is regarded as
a standard authority in the iron trade.
If the statements of the Manufacturers'
association are correct, they ought to be
vouched for by this directory, the edi
tion of which for 1892 has just appeared.
The statements have been corrected
down to the middle of last February.
To any one who is curious enough to
consult this directory it will at once be
come evident that Manager Swank has
not used by any means as much latitude
of statement as is in his weekly Bulletin.
In the directory Mr. Swank describes
the status of twenty works which are
"in operation or are prepared to make
tin or terne plates," and ten others now
building. Of these he says fifteen are in
operation. In giving their weekly ca
pacity he is careful to use the word
"estimated," which he explains in a note
as meaning "reported by the respective
manufacturers." The following compar
ison between the statements made by
the Manufacturers' association and the
facts as ascertained by Mr. Swank is in
teresting:

In addition to the above, Mr. Swank
gives four plants which are now pro
jected. Of the list of twenty-four works
which the Manufacturers' association
says are in operation, with a capacity of
88,550 boxes per week, Mr. Swank gives
only twelve as at present producing tin
plates, to which he adds six not men
tioned by the Manufacturers' associa
tion. Of tho twelve remaining Swank
says nine are. building, one is projected,
one does not exist either as in operation,
building or projected. For the one re
maining, the St. Louis Stamping com
pany, he gives no estimate whatever.
Not counting the number of boxes
produced experimentally by Norton
Bros., the Somerton company and the
St. Louis Stamping company, Swank
gives the M ustimated" weekly produc
tion as 10,500 boxes only, or less than
one-third of the amount given by the
Manufacturers' association. But Mr.
Swank is not willing to vouch for this
much, but states that the production is
as estimated by the "respective manu
facturers." In the case of works now
building he gives "estimates" of pro
posed production, but even these esti
mates fall far short of the production as
claimed by the Manufacturers' associa
tion in their January statement.
The statements made by Mr. Swank
in bis directory furnish data from which
can be shown the course taken by the
industry here. Of the thirty works now
in operation and building only thirteen
intend to make their own black plates,
while seventeen have erected or art
erecting tinning plants only and intend
to buy their plates from the sheet iron
and steel manufacturers.
Those which are making their own
plates are nearly all also manufacturers
of galvanized sheet iron and steel, and
are members of the Galvanized Iron as
sociation. It was this association which
was chiefly interested in having the duty
on tin and terne plate advanced. Their
primary aim was twofold—(1) to cause
an advance in the price of terne plate
used for roofing, and for this purpose
competing with their own galvanized
product, and (2) to extend the market
for their sheet iron and steel.
In respect to the first they have been
very successful, for the present high j
price of terne plate has not only caused ,
an increased demand for galvanized
sheets, but has enabled them to advance i
its price directly in the face of a large .
fall in the price of the raw material and '
of all other iron and steel products. The j
concerns now making sheet iron and
steel which have erected or propose to |
erect tinning plants are among the small
est of those engaged in sheet iron and j
steel production. The large manufac- j
turers of sheet iron and steel have [
shown no inclination to engage in the ;
manufacture of tin plates. But they I
will no doubt be ready to furnish plates
at their own prices to those who erect
tinning plants.
Should the tin plate industry continue
in this course, it can never be estab
lished on an economic basis in this coun
try. Not until the large producers of I
sheet iron and steel erect cold rolling i
and tinning plants, so as to be in a posi- i
tion to carry the product through all the |
stages of production from the pig iron, i
or at least from the steel billets, is there j
any prospect that tin plates can be made ;
here and sold in competition with the |
product of Wales, even under the pres- j
ent high duty.—New York Commercial
Bulletin.
Relief for the Foreigner.
The jug handled reciprocity treaty
with Nicaragua affords an example ot
how these modern conventions untax
foreigners, while our own people go on
paying tribute.
When this treaty goes into effect the
United States government will have
made an agreement by which Nicarag
nans may import untaxed horses and
cattle from this country, while it will
tax our own fanners thirty dollars a
head on horses and ten dollars a head on
cattle. It will make agricultural and
garden seeds free to the favored foreign
i era and will tax its own people 20 pet
j cent. It will provide free coal for the
foreigner, while it will exact seventy
five cents a ton from the citizen.
The Nicaraguan will have free wool
and fumber, while the citizen of the
j United States will pay a tax of from 10
j per cent, to $3.50 a thousand feet.
The one will have free and the othei
j taxed agricultural implements. The one
j will be able to fence his farm with un
j taxed wire, while the other will be
j obliged to pay a tax on his fence wire oi
from 45 to more than 100 per cent.
The Nicaraguans will have untaxed
machinery. The people of the United
States must continue to pay a bounty te
the producers of ore and to the makers
of pig and bar iron, on the lumber, on
tho rivets and nails, and finally on the
finished product.
These are a few of the incidents of a
treaty by means of which commerce is
to be increased through relief granted tc
the people of foreign countries. The
protectionists have based their system
on enmity to foreign commerce, and
their pretended reciprocity treaties beai
strong testimony to the fact that they
are at last moved by stress of hostile
public sentiment to mitigate the result*
of that enmity. Revenue reformers
would remove the shackles from com
merce by relieving the people of the
United States; the reciprocity juggler*
shamefacedly confess their defeat Dyuu
taxing foreigners.
Therefore in this last treaty, as in those
that have gone before it, the burden
continues to rest on the people of this
country, while it is removed from the
people of Nicaragua.—New York World
Failure of the Sugar Bounty.
The "maple sugar vote" in New Eng
land is greatly dissatisfied with the
workings of the McKinley law. - Thai
measure removed the duty on imported
sugar, but offered the home producer a
bounty as compensation. But the new
system does not suit the Vermont own
ers of maple groves at all. They com
plain that they are being ruined by the
pauper maple sugar of Canada. Con
gressman Powers drew this alarming
picture of the situation in a speech de
livered in the house recently:
"The maple sugar production of Ver
mont is about 15,000,000 pounds. The
production of Canada, just across the
lino, is 20,000,000. But the possibilities
of production in Canada are perfectly
astounding; 100,000,000 pounds might be
produced there, and since this bounty
was given to the maple sugar producei
there have been ten carloads of maple
sugar imported into this country from
Canada whore before there was but one.
It is imported to the city of Chicago
and there adulterated, and is sold, as 1
am told, through the west for Vermont
maplo sugar."
So desperate is the situation of the
Vermonters that Mr. Powers has intro
duced a bill to restore the old duty and to
repeal the bounty. One of his objections
to the bounty system is that the red tape
necessary in order to get it compels the
producer to lose the early market on
maple sugar and forfeit more than two
cents a pound if ho undertakes to secure
the bounty. Mr. Powers declares that
"if the old tariff upon sugar were re
stored, so as to keep foreign sugar out
and leave the market to our own product,
then our maple sugar producers would
be vastly better off than they are
now." All of which illustrates again
the difficulty of suiting people by any
device to put money in their pockets by
way of the federal treasury.—New York
Evening Post.
