They ¥ that the conditions which have pro- vailed must, it continued, dostroy the republican party in the state, and that the time is ripe for reform. The oppo- |nents of Quay vigorously declare that [he has no such motive and that his chief if not sole purpose in seeking to dominate the vepublican party of Penn- Ivania is to further the presidential pmbition of his e 1l colleague, Don Cameron. As the situation now stands there ap- pears to be hardly a possibility of com- promige. Quay bas declared the fight is to the death and the leaders of the opposing faction faccepted the challenge, In an inter- view several weeks ago Mr. Quay said: “So far as the municipal ¥ings of Thil- adelphia and Pittsburg, which have re contly seized the state government, are concerned, there will not and cannot be any adjustment. The warfare they have wantonly and maliciously in- augurated will go forward until T am eliminated from Pennsylvania polit or they have bocome a nightmare of the past.” Everything since this was said has shown that the Quay faction in- tends to give no quarter and the ofhe side seems equally determined. A very hot fight in the convention that meets today is therefore assured and which- ever faction wins it would seem inevi- itable that the party must suffer, for the indictment that has been presented to the people by its own membe annot fail to drive a great many voters away from the party.

One of the greatest benefits secured to this country by the policy of protec tion was the establishment and devel- opment of the tin plate indust which during the last five years has grown to an extent which gives promise of a production within a few years that will fully supply the home demand. When the tarillf Jaw of 1850 went into effect there was no tin plate made in the United States and our peop'e paid aunually tens of millions of dollars for this article to the Welsh manufactur- ers. The question whether tin plate could be successfully made in this country in competition with the long established foreign industry had been much and many practical men had no doubt of the result if the xperiment could have the encourage- ment of adequate protection. The Fifty-first congress, republican in both branches, gave the matter careful con- side ion and in the tariff Iaw which it passed placed a duty of 2.2 cents per pound on tin plate. This action was sy the promised results. prise enlisted in the making of tin plate and there was steady, if not very rapid, progress i developiug the in dustry down to the election of 1802, when the suce of the democratic party put a check upon this as upon every other industry. That party had’ protested with 1 vigor against the tin 7 <inley tariff and pe erted that it could not possibly have the results promised for it. The leaders and organs of the party ridiculed or denounced as hoods the statements regardihg th velopment of the industry. Probably no one thing was more condueive to demo- eratic suecess in 1892 than the attack on this duty, because it w effect with a vast number of vofers among the working ¢ It was naturally expected, therefore, that in revising the tariff the democratic congress would strike out the duty on tin pl and this brought the industry to a halt. Projected plants were abandoned, some of those already in existence stopped operations and it was genor- ally apprehended that the infant in- dustry was doomed, Unquestionably it was the tion of the democratic formers to abolish this dut compelled to acknow'edge its good effects, they compromised by cutting jone cent off the duty. This still left some protection and the industry be- gun to revive. With improved pro- cosses and wore efficient labor than that abroad it was still possible 1 succossfully and profitably make tin plate in the United States, and today the plants in operation are supplying a considernble part of the home de mand. Within the past twelve months twenty-six estal’ishments for making tin plate have gone into operation, most of these being on an extensive scale, while during the same time nearly all of the plauts previously established have been enlarged aud thelr capacit materially Increased. In the mea: tiiwe the depression of the Welsh tin plate industry has been growing and the manufacturers are said to take a most gloomy view of the future.

WANTED-ONE MILLION SUCKERS. Paul Vandervoort is a man of Infinite resources, That much must be con- ceded. When e made himself general of the Industrinl Legion that knows no Industry he opened up a rieh veln with limitless possibilities. Paul organ- ized the legion for revenue only and le is working it for everything there is in sight. The latest manifesto from the ge eral's headquarters has just appeared in some of the populist papers that still labor under the delusion that Paul is a genuine apostle of anti-monopoly. Here it is verbatim: ORGANIZE THE LEGION. “Organize the lagion in every voting pre- cinet in the land.” The national committee have urged this for two years. Live recruiting officers wanted; 1,000 legion scouts needed at once. You can organize by sending to Paul Vandervoort, Omaha, Neb., for papers. Do it at once. KEternal vigilance is the price of liberty. v HANG IT IN THE PARLOR. Every true patriot should have the certifi- cate of membership sold by National Legion for campaign fund. Only $1, and premium glven worth the money and more, Legion button, Vandervoort's book, Peffer's book, and Kansas City address, with pictures. AIl who stand on Omaha platform should have it Good enough to frame in any parlor. Don't delay. We must have money to organize, and for 1896. Any one sending five nam for above will get one free. Liberal commission allowed. Send money in express orders, money orders or money; no checks or stamps. Early orders only get Peffer's book. PAUL VANDERVOORT, Station B, Omaha, Neb, The fools are not all dead yet. There are as many suckers ready to snap at flies as ever were canght. This is the principle upon which the “general” of the Industrial Legion proceeds. Wanted ~A thousand live recruiting officers to scoot around and sconr the country for sullibles who will fork over a dollar for a penny sheet of illuminated paper bear- ing Paul's patriotic autograph, with a five-cont button or a dime pamphlet thrown in as a premium. Any recruit ing officer who ean rope in five su will get the penny chiromo and the nickel button free of charge. Don't delay with your do the generous offer may Dbe before you know it and the chance of getting Van- dervoort’s autograph and a five-cent button for a dollar may be forever lost. Another precaution—be sure to send your remittance by express. The post- office may cateh on to this green goods scheme and intereept your order. Re- meniber the general of legion is an ex- pert in postal regulations. He was in the postal service himself until Post- master General Gresham politely in- formed him that his services were super- fluous. Tternal vigilance is the price of liberty and no sucker shonld trust the price of his certificate to the unscru- pulous postal inspectors who are just mean enough to destroy the only in- dustry in which the general of the In- (ustrial Legion has ever been enrolled. Mum’s the word! A SUNFLOWER SUGGESTION. An Omalha man who took in the sun- flower carnival at Colorado Springs last week offers the suggestion that a sunflower day would not be an inap- propriate feature of the coming Ne- braska state fair. The Colorado Springs enrnival 1 been made an annually recurrving festivity and this year was more of a success than ever Dbefore. Ten thousand spectators, drawn from all parts of the state, are id to have witnessed and part pated in the gala occasion and the unique devices in which the sunflowoer was used were ahoost innwmerable. Everybody wore the sunflow nd every house and vehicle showed devo- tion to the queen fidwer of the day. The chief event was, of course, the parade of gay equipnges, in which residents and visitors vied with one another to make the most attractive showing, and the competition for the prizes was energetic and veal. The suggestion of a sunflower day may possibly be a trifle late for doption during the state fair this year, but even if so, it certainly merits consideration in connection with next year's exposition. We are sure the people in Omala with fine earriages, traps, carts, spiders, carryalls and other vehicles would delight in an op- portunity to show what kind of a turn- out they can make and they ought to be given the opportunity. s NEW ) FOR REED. It is perfeetly natural and perfeetly proper that the republicans of New England should prefer ex-Speaker Reed {for the presidency. They have every reason to be proud of that distin- guished republican leader, as republi 1gs in every section of the country are. Mr. Reed is.an able, courageous, broad-minded statesman. He is not only one of the greatest of contempo- rary Americans, but he werits a promi- it place among the great republican e since the par s organized. No man has been more earnestly de- voted than he to the principles of the party or has more vigorously and fear lessly proclaimed id defended them whenever oceasion demanded. His splendid qualities as a leader in the house of representatives have been the admiration of men of all partios. His great ability as a parliamentarian is universally recognized. His high stand- ling as a statesman is unquestioned. republicans of New England would dit their own judgment and pro- claim themselves unworthy of such a leader if they did not hold Thomas B, Reed firsi in thelr regard for the Iigh- est office in the gift of the American people. The Philadelphia Inquire to New England's preference for Mr. Reed, says: “The west is disposed to belittle Mr. Reed, but there is now no better candidate before the people; nor is there one who will have a better fol lowing in the convention—wh ver the issues then may be.” The Inqui errs gard to western sentiment toward Reed. We know of ne republican er in the west that has ever given |utierance to anything depreciatory of referring I'I'hn)‘ appreciaté Lis ability as fully as the Maine statéymfin and certainly he is held in the,highest esteem by the ank and file of western republicans, do the republicnns of New England, As 1o the following Mr. Reed will have in the next republigan convention, it Is a matter no one can foresee. It may be equal to or hetter than that of any other of the distinguished men whose names will be pregented there and it may not. But in any event the conven- tion will select as the candidate for the presidency the man who shall ap- pear to the wmajority of that body to lave the greatest popular availability dnd whoever that man shall be— whether he hails from Maine or New York or Ohio or lIowa—he will get the votes of all western republicans, One of the marked results of im- wed conditions is the return of the | commercial travelers of eastern houses. © eighteen months these people have given Nebraska a very wide berth, In fact, they would not sell to Nebraska merchants who could not pay eash They said to them: “You can get the Nebraska fobber to carry you over the breakers and when you have landed high and dry we will return and sell you goods chieap for cash.” The fact of the matter is the Nebraska jobbers have exhibited abiding faith in the future of the state and have extended credits to their patrons throughout the state who otherwise could not have weathered the storm. If there ever v a time in the history of Omaha and N braska when our people should proceed under the home patronage theory it is now. Let the comntry merchant say to the representatives of those “conser tive houses™ in the east that he will stand by friends who fayored him in the season of adversity.

Sam says that he is de- voting all his time to preparation for the Vandervoort snivel service examination. Rev. Alexander F.

Jacob Hauck says he has been groping in the political darkness for twenty years, and that only now has he regained his senses.
