TIN AND TIX I'JiATE.

Where is tin mined mined, is it mined adopt a new wage scale. The workin this country, and 1 jw much is being mined?—.1

rijun-Xvti'g.

Tin is mined at Cornwall, England: Uohetnia and Saxony have some tin, and so have Spain and Portugal. The best mines in the world are in the Straits of Malacca in the Malayan Peninsula. The mines in this country are the Tamescal mines in California, and the Harney Peak mines in South Dakota. The former are limited in their production, while the latter are said to be as rich as are the Malacca mines. The Tamescal mines do not begin to supply the demands of this country, while the lattar are owned by an English syndicate and in which it has 82,000.000 in mills and railroads to bring the ore to the mills. These mines, however, are now tied up in litigation. Whether they are tied up purposely or not is not known, but being owned by Englishmen the tie-up has a suspicious look. When the MoKinley law was enacted these mines had just begun to be developed, and to encourage the industry in the United States and to further develop this product it was provided in this law that on and after .July 1. IS'.'.'l, a duty be imposed upon bar, block and pig tin. This duty was only to remain in force until July 1, 1895. unless it shall be made to appear that the product of the mines of the United States shall have exceeded 5,000 tons in any one year, and in case the product falls below this amount it shall be admitted free of dnty. It will thus be seen that if there was less than 5,000 tons of bar, block or pig tin produced the tariff was only to remain in force two years and would have expired next July. Hut this has not been the fight. The main buttle waged by the Democracy has been against the manufacture of tin and terne plate. Until the McKinley was passed there had not been a pound of tin plate manufactured in the United States. The Democratic newspapers and speakers denied that tin plate could be made in the United States and resorted to all sorts of ridicule to back up their statements. They even went so far as to give an illustration of a little 8x10 building at Anderson as a specimen American tin plate factory. IJut notwithstanding the ridicule of the Democratic press the tin plate factories begun to grow and flourish, and one of the largest in the country is established at Elwood. another at Gas City, another at Alexandria, another at Anderson, and altogether there are nearly one hundred in the United States. The product for the ijuarter ending September 30. 18(.il, was but 830.93:2 pounds. The aggregate manufacture of tin and terne plates in the United States during the first year ending June 30. ]8'.i2, was iu.3ii7.risr pounds, and for the fiscal year ending

June 30, ISM, was 108,(121,Ss3 pounds. The official report for the year ending June 30, 1*94, is not at hand, but it is estimated that the production will eijual that of ison, notwithstanding the threats of a Democratic adminis tratiun to withdraw all protection from this voung industry.

The Democratic party is indeed the happy family.

denies that there is

a wage reduction war now on. A dispatch from Pittsburg and printed in the

Argiia-Newx

of August 2D, stated

that the tin-plate manufacturers will meet in Pittsburg next Tuesday to adopt a new wage scale. The workmen will be asked to accept a cut of about 15 per cent. The window glass manufacturers, who want a reduction of 3(J per cent, to meet the new tariff schedule, have gone to Cleveland. The mixers and teasers employed in glass houses will meet Thursday to take action on a preposition of the manufacturers for a reduction. Twenty-five thousaud cotton weavers of New Bedford and Fall River, Mass., are out on a strike to resist a reduction in wages. The reports from all over the country are to the effect that wages must be cut to meet the competition from abroad which is expcctcd to increase caused by the Gorman tariff law.

BY B0BEBT BABB ("LPKE RHAKP.") The village was astir wnen ne reached it. He was surprised to see Stoliker on horseback in front of one of the taverns. Two assistants were with him, also seated on horses. The constable seemed disturbed by the sight of Henmarlc, but he was there to do his duty. "Hollo!" he cried, "you're up early. I have a warrant for the arrest of your friend. I suppose you won't tell me where he is?'' "You can't expect me to give any information that will get a friend into trouble, can you?—especially as he lias done nothing." "That's as may turn out before a jury," said one of the assistants, gravely. "Yes," assented Stoliker, winking quietly at the professor. "That is for judge and jury to determine -not you." "Well." said Remnurk, "I will not inform on anybody, unless I am oompelled to, but I may suve you some trouble by telling where I have been and what 1 have seen. I am on my way back from the lake. If you go down there von will still see the mark

of a boat's keel on the sand, and probably footprints. A boat came over from the other shore In the night and a man got on board. I don't say who the man was, and I had nothing to do with the matter In any way except as a speotator. That is nil the information I have to give."

Stoliker turned to his assistants and nodded. "What did I tell yon?" he asked. "We were right on his track." "You said the railroad," grumbled the man who had spoken before. "Well, we were within two miles of liim. Let us go down to the lake and see the traces. Then we can return the wurrant."

Rcnmark found Yates still asleep in the tent. Re prepared breakfast without disturbing him. When the meal was ready he roused the reporter and told him of his meeting with Stoliker. advising him to get back to New York without delay.

Yates yawned sleepily. "Yes." lie said. "I've been dreaming It all out. I'll get father-in-law to tote me out to Fort Srie to-night." "Do you think it will be safe to put It off so long?" "Safer than trying to get away during the day. After breakfast I'm g' tng down to the Uartlett homestead. Must have a talk with the old folks, you know. I'll spend the rest of the day making up lor that interview by talking with Kitty. Stoliker will never search for me there, and now that he thinks I'm gone he will likely make a visit to the tent. Stoliker is a good fellow, but his strong point is duty,

know, and if he's certain I'm

gone he'll give his country the worth of its money by searching. I won't be back for dinner, so you can put in your time reading my dime novels. I make no reflections on your cooking, Renny, now that the vacation is over, but I have my preferences, and they incline toward a final meal with the Hartletts. If I were you I'd have a nap. You look tired out." "1 am," said the professor.

Renmark intended to lie down for a few moments until Yates was clear of the camp, after which he determined to pay a visit but nature, when she got him locked up in sleep, took lier revenge. He did not hear Stoliker and his satellites search the premises, just as Yates hud predicted Uiey would, and when he finally awoke he found, to his astonishment, that it was nearly dark. Hut he was all the better for his sleep,

Old Hiram Bartlett accepted the situation with the patient and grim stolidity of a man who takes a blow dealt him by a Providence which he knows Is inscrutable. What he had done to deserve it was beyond his comprehension. He silently hitched u]p his horses, and for the first time in his life drove in to Fort Erie without any reasonable excuse for going there. Ho tied Ills team at the usual corner, after which he sat at one of the taverns and drank strong waters that had uo apparent effect on him. He even went so far as to smoke two native cigars and a man who can do that can

do

anything. To bring up

a daughter wiio would deliberately accept a man froftt "the states," and to have a wife who would aid and abot such an action, giving comfort and support to the enemy, seemed to him traitorous to all the traditions of 1812 or any other date in the history of the two countries. At times, wild ideas of fretting blind full and going home to

break evcr.v ............... v.... n.r house rose in his mind, but prudence whispered that he had to live all the rest of hi life with his wife, and he realized that his scheme of vengeance had its drawbacks. Finally he untied his patient team, after paying his bill, and drove silently home, not having returned, even by a nod. any of the salutations tendered to him that day. lie was somewhat relieved to find no tuestions were asked, and that his wife recognized the fact that he was passing through a crisis. Nevertheless there was a steely glitter in the eye he uneasily quailed under which told him a line had been reached which it would not be well for him to cross. She forgave, but it mustnJt go any further.

When Yates kissed Kitty good night at the gate ho asked her, with some trepidation, whether she had told anyone of their engagement. •OJo one but Margaret," said Kitty. "And whatdid she say?"asked Yates, as if, after all, her opinion was of no importance. 'She said she was suro I should be happy, and she knew you would be a good husband." "She'srather a nice girl, is Margaret," remarked Yates, with the air of a man willing to concede good qualities to a girl other than his own, but indicating after all. that there was but one on earth for him. "She's a lovely girl," said Kitty, enthusiastically. "J wonder, Dick, when you knew her, why you ever fell in love with me." "The idea! I haven't a word to say against Margaret but, compared with my girl—"

And he finished his sentence with a practical illustration of his frame of mind.

As he walked alone down the road he reflected that Margaret had acted very handsomely, and he resolved to drop in and wish her good-by. But as he approached the house his courage began to fall him, and he thought it better to sit on the fence near the place where he hod sat the night before and think over it. It took a good deal of thinking. But as he sat there it was destined that Yates should receive some Information which would simplify matters. Two persons came slowly out of the gate in the gathering darknesB. They strolled together up the road past him, absorbed in themselves. When directly opposite, Renmark put his arm around Margaret's waist, and Yates nearly fell off the fence. He held his breath until they were safely out of hearing, then slid down and crawled along in the shadow until he came to the side road, up which he walked, thoughtfully pausing every few moments to remark: "Well, I'll be—" but speech seemed to have failed him he could get no further.

He stopped at the fence and leaned against it, gazing for the last time at the tent, glimmering white, like a misshapen ghost, among the somber trees. He had no energy left to climb over. "Well, I'm a chimpanzee," he muttered to himself at last. "The highest bidder can have me, with no upset price. Dick Yates, I wouldn't have believed it of you. You a newspaper man? You a reporter from'way back? You up to snuff? Yates, I'm ashamed to be seen in your company. Go back to New York and let the youngest reporter in from a country newspaper scoop the daylight out of you. To think that this thing has been going on right under your well-developed nose and you never saw it—worse, never had the faintest suspicion of it— thrust at you twenty times a day— nearly got your stupid head smashed pn account of it—and yet bleated away like the innocent little lamb that you are, and never even suspected! Dick, you're a three-sheet poster fool in colored ink. And to think that 'b'otk of them know all about the first proposal—both of them! Well, thank heaven, Toronto is a long way from

New York."

Woman's Color is au Unfailing Tlier* moineter. CSL'ECLAL. TO OBB LADY BEA.UKB8.]

A woman's thermometer is her color. She is red with embarrassment or some deep emotion she is white with fright she is supposed to 1 I be green with envy but when she is blue it means that she is sick.

It is not the fault of the woman if she has tlio blues

No woman can be happy and lighthearted when painful female complaints crush out her life.

If she is melancholy, excitable, nervous, dizzy, or troubled with sleeplessness or fainting spells, they are symptoms of serious female weakness.

A leaf out of the experience of Mrs. Anna Miller, who lives at Dulirlng, Pa., shows that

A few more weeks and the Spring and Summer business ot 'G4 will be history—its most important event—our Great Clearing Sale. We won't speak of the weather, but of the highest grade Dry Goods, in many instances less than cost.

Successful Storekeeping

Does not mean gigantic profit—it means doing business—continually—constantly—selling

seasonable goods—even at a loss—before holding them over for many months. We

are successful storekeepers and will sell thousands of dollars worth of sea­

sonable stuff at even less than cost, while you most want them.

This is the argument for the great

Only two ways to run a business—a right and a wrong way—y«ars of success, of progress, convinces us that this is the right way. Every department manager has his orders, every salesman and saleslady will be alert, every price is a trade winner.

"Make Ha While the Snn Shines." Is a maxim to be applied with peculiar force to the dry goods business. Hut "hay making" time is passed— now is Clearing Out time—and for the balance of the season 15 per cent, 20 per cent, 25 per cent and even 50 per cent will drop from the prices of every article in all our departments. Our patrons will buy cheaply. Our stock will be reduced. The object desired— turning merchandise into cash—will be accomplished.
