NINE MONTHS OF TIN PLATE The manufacture of tin plates and terno platos in Amorioa for the nine months end ng March 51, hes boen investirated. The man who investigated it was & spocial agent of the secretary of the troasury. He was a republican. He was charged by a republican administeation with the duty of wetting ac curate rataras of the quantities of manu factured tin turned out from American es taviishments during the fast nine month His report shows that for the nine months 5,240,530 pounds of tin have been manufact- ured in this country. On an average this country has imported 75,000,000 pounas ,of tin plates a yoar, in other words wo hav consumed on an average 2,263,000 pounds ver day of tin piates. In fact, we are now con suming that quantity of tin plates each day. It thereforo appears that this “infant indus try,” for which we ara paving such an enormous tax, has produced during tho last nine months I6ss than throe days’ consump tion of tin plates for this country! Does it pay ! Does it pay to tax ‘his nation mously by increasing the price of this neces sary article for the benefit of the nineteen firms who are nominally manufacturing tin plates, and yot who have not beon able dur ing the nino months last past to make eaough tin plate altogothor to supply the country throo days! Tho result of greatly increasing the cost of manufactured tin to the Amorican consumer has bean to check the demand for it, and to compel consumers to uss substitutes in placo of it. Galvanized iron has beon onoe of the substitutes rosorted to, and it wai tho gal- vanized fron manufacturers who were largely instramental in securing the highoer tariff on tin plates for tho purpose of stimulating the demaud for their own material at betie prices. The American consumer pays for all this, but after a year tho infant industry hus promoted has only reached a poit where it can produce about 1 por cent of all the tin required by the peoplo of the United States. Does 1t payt— W rld-Herald There are none so blind as those who will not see. Just why demoeratic news- papoers should persistently misrepresent the facts regarding the American tin vlate industry passes comprehension. The McKinley act has not yet been in force twelve wonths so far s tin plate is concerned. The tin plate manufac- of America wire mot at the oat- ith abuse and ridiculo. ans predicted that a 55 pe n duty would necossarily increase the cost of tin plate in Amarica by exactly that per cont less the former duty and that additional burden would fall upon the n workingman. More than a year’s notico was givea to i and foreign mnufacturers of vance in the tin plate duty. The result 1 enormous i im- ports of tin plato before the McKinley bill had taken effect. It the face of the rstocked tin plate market nineteen tin plate had been established on March 31 and they produced in their first nine months i grand total of 5,210,- 8§30 pounds of plate. If the World-Herald and sheets of its illc were frank they would show the progross of the industry, which they think it facetious to describe by the term “infant.” On the Ist day of Oc- tober, 1801, there wore five tin plate manufacturers in the United States with an output of 827,000 pounds. Thred months later the number of factories had arown to eleven and tho product was 1,- 110,000 pounds. On March 31, 1832, when the third report was made, nin teen tin plato factories had boen opened and tho product had reached 3,000,000 pounds, an increrse of more than 100 per cont within threo months. Since that date adaitionl works have besn opaned. On the 230 of Ap-ilthere weve forty-two tin and terne plate companies organiz and tweaty-six of thess were ually engaged in manufacturing tin plate, least $3,000,00) has baen invested in plants and more is s00n tobe so invested. The ostablished and projocted works have a capieity of 5,400,000 pounds per weelk, and under prosent conditions fully 200,000,000 pounds of tin plate will bo manufactured annually at the end of the t five years of the experiment. Moan- while the cost of tin plata has not ma- torially advanced. It stands toduy only afraction more t half a cent per pound above the uverage price of the past eleven years, during which we have used nothing but the imported ar- ticle. When the charter was granted the Union Pacific it was specinlly required that the iron rails used should all be of American manufactur At that timo there were not rolling mills enough in the country to supply the worn out rails of the companies actually in operation. ‘The Union Pacific paid 834 per ton for American mado ivon rails, but the de- mand croated for American rails stimu- lated the constraction first of iron and then steel volling mills until today the best American sixty pound steel rails are sold in open market at #32 por ton. This is a striking oxample of what may be exnected from tie tin plate industry it the American policy of protection is allowed to develop our native tin mines 1 the Black Hills and in southern Culi- fornia and the tin plate manufacturing industry of the country. But what are the facts in regard to tho comparative cost of tin plate to the Nobrusku consumer now and before the McKinley bill went into operation? The Rector-Wilhelmy company of Omaha is a large importer of tin plate. They state that thoere is little difference be- twoen the price of manufactured tinware toduy and two yeurs ngo. If anything the poor man pays less for his dinner pail, wash botler or tin bucket now than he paid three years ago. ‘Chis firm has reduced its orders for foreign tin plate oxactly one-half for the next yoar and will purchaso the other hali of its tin plate from the Amevican factories. The buyer of the firm says he will undertake to show any eandid man t American tin plate is s good if not superior in quality us the Kuglish product. Ho also suys thut galvanized iron has not been substituted for tin in kitchen and other wares as a rosult of tho passage of the McKinley bill. Does it pay to im- port tin plates from abroad when they can bo produced at home by stimulating an industry of such importance? Daes it pay to protect American munufac- turers by a tariff which is not paid by the consumer but 15 contributed by the foreign manufacturer for the purpose of solling goods in this m: %0 onor. Demo cont niva Americ easo in ov ctorie: an FEES SHOULD GO T0 THE TREASUREER. The city treasurer should be the only official authorized to receive public funds frow any source. Whenaver THE OMAH ' under the charter, s are to be paid for the petformance of any work or duty by any city official, or license feo is 1o be paid for any privilege or money should be paid to the city treas: urer directly and his receipt for tho snme shoula be held by the respective officers as a check against the troasury. The fast and method that per mits various city officials to collect or accept money which has to be turned into the troasury is an incentive to dis- honesty and defalcation. At the present timo it may be incon- venient to require parties who pay fees take out ity treasury and procure receipts, but with- in the next ninety days every city official except the potice judge and clerk will be conveniently located in the eity hall building. It wili then be uo hard ship whatever toreauire payment to the treasurer in every instance where monoy is to be paid in pursuance of law, and the council should, it seems to us, take steps at an early day to carry out this reform. THE SITUATION IN NEW YORK. The state of New York is not sary to republican success this yoar, but none the less it is to be desired that the republicans shall carey it. Thero is every reason to believe that they will carry it if the party in the state i united and harmonious. But there is some danger that it will not be. It is reported that the element opposed to the renomination of President Harrison will represent at the Minneapolis con- vention that the president cannot agai carry New York, giving as a venson that the active political forces will take no part in the campaign ii Harrison is the candidate. It is probable that this threat will be made at Minneapolis, and it may have somo effect upon a few delegates. The fact that the opposition to the president has permitted such report to go out attests the bitterness of the hostility, and ropublicans generally should mark this evidence of the readiness of Platt and his followers to defeat the party if necessary in ovider to gratify their batred of President MHarrison. This element cures fur loss for republican policy and principles than it does for the priviiege of controlling patronage. Party cess that does not bring to it control of tha spoils it does not estecm as of any value. A knowledge ot the true spirit of th men ought to be sufficient to in- duce sincers republicans everywhere to refuse any alli ion with them, because their rut must certainly result, sooner or later, in disaster to the party. It is not probible that the intended threat will have the desired effect at Minneapolis. A small numter of dele gates will, perhaps, be influenced by it, but every discriminating member of the convention will see that if Harrison cannot carry New York he will be stronger in other s than any candi- date chosen to gratify the disgruntled element in the Empire state. But we believe Harrison will be as strong in New York as uny other man that could be named, and very much stronger thun andidate who would be satisfactory to the opponents of the president. Not even Mr. Blaine, were it understood that he was in any measure the puppet of the spoils-seekir nent, could command the full r n voty of New York. There is a decp-seated dis- trust of any man who is thought to have intimate political rolations with Mr. Platt, which no one is ently popu- lar to entir likely, moreover, that the dissatisfied republican politicians of N, York overestimate their strength and influ- once. At any rato it has been abund- antly demonstrated that whoever allivs himself with them does not improve his political fortunes. That President Harrison would be as strong in New York as any other candi- date is not to be doubted, for no one represents more fully than he the poli and principles upon which the repub- lican party will make 1ts presidential campnign. He stands us strongly as any republican leader for the protoetion of Am an industries, for the extension of commeree by moans of reciprozity,and for a sound 1d stable currency. His administration has been of a character to command the respect and conlidence of the country, and what has baen done is assurance of what will be if President Harrson is ve-elected. The people of New York nre as deeply intevested in the continuance of these republican pol- icies as those of any other state, and the republican voters of that state will not put them in jeopardy at the command of a few politicians who are dissatistied because they have not been able to run the patronage of the administration in their own interest. loose or permits to go to the noeces- s or ruin polic any over SQUARELY BEFORE THE PEOPL The Nebraska Central proposition is now formally submitted to the voters of the city of Omaba and Douglas coun The conditions under which the subsidy is usked for and the obligations incurred by the company ave fully set forth in the proclum of the mayor and county commissioners, Our citizens und taxpayers will have ample time to familiarize themselves with every pro- vision of the contract, which embodies all the safeguards that foresight could suggest without absolutely repelling in vostors from trusting theie capitil in the undert The mugnitude of the enterprise and its bearing upon the future of Omaha can scarcely Lo overrated.

The same is \pyo also of the projected line to the Toxas panhandle, which would place $6ath Omaha stock yards and packing ‘heuses much nearer the great cattle raising regions of the south and southwest than Kansas City, and would also open a very profitablo terri- tory for Omaha jobbers and manufac- turers, From a purely local standpoint the Nebraska Central project menns an out lay of at least $2,000,000 in Douglas county for iraprovements, outside of the purchase money for depot grounds and right of way, with a prospective estab- lishment of freight houses, shops and headquarters that will give permanent employment to from 500 to 1,000 wage- workers, even if the new roads brought into Omaha do not iavest large sums of money on their own account. It remains for our citizens to decide for themselves whether or not these atvantages will justity the bonus that is asked by the compan; Nebra THE Standard Ofl trust has consed to oxist. Some time ago and shortly after the decision by the supreme court of Ohio adverse to the trust it was deter- mined to close up its affairs as a trust. and this was accomplished yesterday when the trustees met and declared o dividend on the $15,000,000 of outstand- ing certilicates. The dividend disposed of the assets, which consisted wholly of cash, with the oxception of somo bonds amounting to only a fow thousand dol- lars.

[t is not apparent, therefore, that in dropping the form of a trust the 1 haracter of the corporation has been changed, and presumably it will in the future, as in the past, suppréss competition wherever itisable to do sp, and in most other respeets actas it has baen doing for many ye: The compan yopolistic ecrel Senator Huwlew's Harvtford Courant, Senator Gorman of Maryland isn't fishing for instructed delegates, and ho hasn’t gono ashore.

This is o most necessitous case and one of very great merit.
