Cleveland ami Stevenson,
two great national parties have
their preliminary work of the
—that of nominating candi
president and vice president,
a contrast may be seen in the
and the result of their work?
JPin the one hand we find those who
met at Minneapolis acting, not according
to the wishes of the voters of the party,
but for the Bole advancement of one
man to whom they owe their lease of
political life. Their nominee for vice
president was not selected because
Whitelaw Ifeid is a good Republican,
but for the purpose of strengthening
their ticket in a certain state and hoping,
through him, they might have free ac
cess again to the money bags of the
monopolists.
At Chicago the Democrats nominated
Grover Cleveland in answer to the
demand of the Democrats of the United
•States, lie was not the most available
candidate. The delegation from bis own
state fought him until the ballot was
taken, and they then, like loyal Demo
crats, assisted with their cheers in mak
ing the nomination unanimous. Cleve
land is handicapped by the fact that
lie was once beaten, but Cleveland iB
still the greatest exponent of modern
Democracy and therefore be was placed
on the ticket by his party.
Adali E. Stevenson is not the strongest
man that could be chosen for vice presi
dent, if the question of states and elec
toral votes were allowed consideration.
He cannot command monopolists to
disgorge hundreds of thousands of
dollars like bis opponent. He is from
a strong Kepublican state, but these
questions have no weight in Demo
cratic gatherings.
Cleveland and Stevenson are Demo
crats. They have Democratic principles,
Democratic views, Democratic ideas, and,
like Democrats who deserve to hear the
honorable title of Democrat, they are
never afraid to lead the rank and file
upon any question to which the party
is or should he committed.
Furthermore, they stand upon the
most complete and straight-forward
platform ever adopted by any party.
It says what it means, and it means
every word the document contains.
There is no straddle, no evasion, but
straight Democratic principles which
may he understood by every citizen
who reads it.
Democrats deserve to win next
November, and they will win.
Three Clianees Now.
This year, in considering probabilities,
the Democratic party lias three chances
to win where it had one chance four
years ago.
In the first place its chances of carry
ing New York are greater than they
were in 1888. If it succeeds in this and
in carrying the states that were Demo
cratic in 1888, and if Indiana also goes
Democratic, as it is quite sure to go, the
Democratic candidate will receive 226
electoral votes, or 3 more than a
majority.
In the second place, if New York goes
Kepublican its lost 36 votes may he
made up from Illinois, Kansas. Neb
raska, Wisconsin and lowa. These
states cast 67 electoral votes, and they
went Democratic or at least anti-Re
publican in 1800. They have in Con
gress 20 Democratic, 14 Republican
and 7 Farmers' Alliance Representa
tives. Moreover, from 4 to 6 votes are
expected from Michigan, (dearly New
York is not this year, as it was in 1888,
the only fighting ground for 36 electoral
votes.
In the third place, these five states
and Minnesota, with its 9 electoral
votes, may be carried by the Farmers'
Alliance. Giving New York to the Re
publicans the electoral vote would then
stand as follows: Democrats, 190; Re
publicans, 179; Farmers' Alliance, 75.
As the necessary majority of the elec
toral college is 223, such a division of
the vote would throw the election into
present house of representatives, and
the Democratic candidate would be
chosen by a largo majority of the states
voting as units,—lF. Y. World.
WOMEN should have a vote in the
presidential election to decide whether
' Ruth Cleveland or Baby McKco will
jtdorn the White Ilooae.
JTN PLATE HISTORY, I
J
THE DIVERSIFIED USES TO WHICH
IT IS APPLIED.
Ifa V M MI Fooil Wrapper—How tho
MeKlnley Tariff Is Injuring the Tariff
Industry—What Tin l'late Is and Huw
It Is Manufactured.
Tin plates slnoe the tariff discussion
concerning them have become an item
of publio Interest. There seems to bo a
surprising ignorance on the part of the
people concerning their manufacture,
the diversified uses to which they are
applied, as well as to the qualities which
make them important in the economy of
living.
Briefly stated, tin plates are iron or
steel sheets cut to a convenient size
plated with tin; in other words, Iron or
steel plates painted on both sides with a
tin coating.
Ninety per cent, of all the tin plates
consnmed in the world are made in
Wales. For 170 years that little coun
try has defied all competition in their
manufacture. Added to a thorough
knowledge of the practical features of
the trude, the Welsh manufacturers have
proved great inventors in bringing into
use labor saving und material saving
machinery.
As Iron and tin constitute the entire
bulk of and 90 per cent, of the cntiro
oost of tin plates, their price and fluctu
ation are the history of the tin produc
tion of the world and the sheet Bteel in
dustry. Owing to the scarcity of tin,
prices advanced from 1864, when it was
£B7 per ton, to £159 in 1892. There was
nearly as marked an advanco in iron
during the same jieriod. This sent the
price of tin plates up to 265. per box. In
1878 tin reached the exceedingly low
price of £52 10s. per ton. Iron reached
a correspondingly low price, Philadel
phia pig being quoted in 1876 at #10.60,
as against SSB in 1872. The cheapness
of those ingredients lowered the price of
tin plates to 12s. lj£d. Since that date
tho decline in plates has been in strict
keeping with the price of iron and tin
down to Juno, 1800, when speculation
incident to the McKinley tariff on tin
plates set in.
The cheapness of tin plates, together
with their durability for certain uses,
and their adaptability as wrappers for
hermetically sealed canned food has
greatly stimulated their importation. In
1850 the importation was only 500.000
boxes; now it has reached over 0,000,000
boxes. Our natural increase in con
sumption of plates sinco 1887 amounts
to 500,000 boxes each year. This increase
is directly traceable to the development
of the canning industry, which now con
sumes more than 3,500,000 boxes yearly.
These cans or wrapiiers for canned
produce are made up with a large per
centage of tin for soldering, as the sol
der needs to he strong and noncorrosivo.
From 15,000 to 18,000 tons of pig tin are
required for tills purpose annually.
Tho canning industry would never
have develiqied to its present status hail
it not had tho advantage of cheap tin
plates. Glass was found to be too ex
pensive and the matter of its breakage
too extensive to prove economical as
a wrapper for a food product. Tin cans
wero found to he as wholesome as gloss,
proof against breakage anil less than
one-third the cost of the glass jars.
Under tho stimulus of these cheaji 1
wrappers mado from tin plates the can
ning industry has made wonderful de
velopment, and being a direct evolution
of agriculture has stimulated a class of
intensive farming in tho older settled |
portions of the country which has not
only rescued fanners from an actual
retrogression, but has mado their farms
romuuorotive. One million acres of land
are now under exclusive cultivation for
these canneries. As a farmer on au
average devotes from eight to ten acres
of his farm to this class of culture, it is
shown that 100,000 farmers, or 500,000
people, are Interested in the cultivation,
growing and picking of these fruits anil
vegetables which these can wrappers
convoy to the consumers of the country.
It was under these encouraging con
ditions of the canning industry, and the
advantages thus created by a home
market for tho farmers' produce, that the
supposed prohibitive duty of 1890 on tin
plates was inflicted.
Put forth us a protection pure and
simple to a few sheet roofing men in
order to drive out a conqietiiig article,
tho law utterly ignored the canning
industry, which, unable to substitute
galvanized iron or sheet steel for tin
plates in its manufacture of hermetically
sealod food products, hence had no alter
native hut to pay the enhanced price or
go put of the business.
Reports from all sections of tho coun
try indicate clearly the effects of this ar
bitrary interference on tho part of the
government with an established indus
try. Letters received from over 100
concerns, both caunors and manufactur
ers of tinware, and of all political
shades, and scattered from Maine to
California, sot forth in most emphatic
terms the injury of the increased duty
on tin plates to thotr business.
The policy of spoliation, however, has
been perfectly vindicated. The sheet
iron mills have been able to advance the
pricceof their products according to pro
gramme, and American consumers of
tin plats* have Imen taxed $21,000,000 to
create au industry which up to date has
supplied us with less than twenty-two
hours' consumpilon of American plates
made of 90 per cent, imported material
and by imported mechanics.

George, ft is one of the best works on
the subject, and as it has been quoted

A WESTERN FARMER KICKS.
Too Much Tariff the Cause of H is Dls
•atlsfaotion.
X have been farming for about thirty
three yeara and have livedjn three statea.
It has been truly a hard road to travel.
This is no fancy question. The fanner
has in large measure been compelled to
eat dirt and go naked. Wealth hoe in
creased forty times as much in Vermont
as in lowa during the past ten years.
Kansas farm mortgages are by the cen
sus $283,000,000.
This is not simply a question for farm
ers, but for all business men. On ques
tions of tariff and finance the interests
of all of the people in the west and
south and nine-tenths of the people of
the east are identical.
But unfortunately for the country un
der radical rule about one-tenth of the
people of one small section (the north
east) have controlled our national legis
lation for the past thirty years.
The manufacturer and the capitalist
have readily been enabled to amass mil
lions, and millionaires are becoming
quite common in the northeast, while
the bulk of the people there, and all the
people in the west and south, save the
office holder and pensioner, have become
"hewers of wood and drawers of water"
for the New England nabobs.
And year by year they continue (un
wisely, I think) to put the screws to us
a little tighter, until they have nearly
broken the camel's back; have nearly
killed the goose that lays the golden egg,
not seeming to be conscious that by
crushing agriculture and impoverishing
whole sections of the country they de
stroy our ability to pay and thereby re
duce their own revenues, and eventually
will produce such a revolt from their
dominion as will bring themselves down
in financial ruin, if not (which God for
bid) in open rebellion and bloodshed.
When the pendulum is forced too far
in one direction it will swing too far in
the other.
For all this and much more we have
not enumerated we hold accountable the
party of professedly high moral ideas,
which would legislate other men into
morality; "for they say and do not; for
they bind heavy burdens and grievous
to 1)6 borne, and lay them on men's
shoulders, but they themselves will not
move them with one of their fingers"—
the party which has lived these many
years on sectionalism, by fomenting bit
ter feelings, race prejudice and wars;
the party which rejoices in the manu
facture or parading of tales of horror to
keep up prejudice and bitterness, whose
chief stock in trade is hate or the en
couragement of hate; the party which
was instrumental in lilerating the negro
slaves, which we confess was one good
thing they did for the white race, but
which managed by the bitterness and
prejudice engendered by the war virtual
ly to enslave nine-tenths of the white
men of the country; the party which
by a long course of oppressive legisla
tion robs and plunders the i>eople under
the guise of law; the party which
! would, by returning boards and force
| bills, endeavor to i>erpetuate this pillage
' and tyranny on a peace loving and law
abiding people.
I Ido not mean that there are not indi
vidual good men and many of them in
the Republican party, but I do think
that the rank und file, those who are not
getting the boodle, allow themselves to
be wonderfully hoodwinked.
Let us look at one prominent item of
this robbery.
The tariff has yielded a revenue for
the last ten years of from $122,000,000 to
$139,000,000 per a mum. Of course this
comes off the people, but the consump
tion of home manufactures is about five
times as much as of imported goods,
which yields a bonus of near $700,000,000
annually to the manufacturers, off the
people too. But this does not go into
the treasury, but into protected i>ockets.
This enormous burden of $800,000,000
annually which the people liavo to pay
for this radical blessing is not half of
| the damage. Protection destroys our
ability to pay; it in large measure pro
hibits exchange of our products with
foreign countries, cuts off the demand
for our surplus corn, wheat, cotton,
meat, etc., and breaks tho price of our
, whole product. For instance if wo raise
one-tenth more grain than we need to
consume, that surplus on our market
will break down the price of the whole
crop, whereas if Euroie could exchange
freely with us tho whole crop would
bear a good price. No wonder fanning
and every other industry in our farming
districts is prostrated. The wonder is
the whole agricultural portion (most all
of our country) is not broke.—St. Louis
Republic.
Our Tilt Plate Infunt.
While congress was being urged to
enact the increased duty on tinned plate
every sponsor in and out of that body
for the industry thus promised to he
created set July 1, 1891—the date when
the new rate was to take effect—as that
before which United States manufac
turers would be supplying our entire
' home consumption. So far was this
from the truth that, in fact, at the date
named not a single sheet of tinned plate
| had been made here by any concern even
pretending to be on a commercial basis
—that is, ready to supply to any sub
stantial extent orders from tlio trade.
As this date approached tlie treasury
department, Boeing BO near at hand the
total collapse of the McKinley prophe
cies—in Bpito of the liberality of the law,
which permitted American untlnned (or
block) plates ready for stamping to lie
counted aa tinned plates—took the dea
i perate step of ruling that "import
| ed" black plates, if dipjied here, though
in "imported" tin, might be counted as
I "American" tinned plate. This gave a
boom to the anomalous American indus
try of coating Imported plate with im
, ported tin by imported labor.
Such is the BO called tin plate indus
try which, under the MclCinley bill, con
ceived in the tinned plate lies of Crono
meyer, has been born under treasury
midwifery, and is now the infant to
which, as an American industry, have
i.lready beon issued fraudulent natural
isation papers.
