PRICES OF TIN PLATE. HOW MR. CRONEMEYER JUGGLES FIGURES. Be Tries to Show that Tin Plato Prio*a Bare Not Greatly Advanced—Tariff* and ExporU-Ceffee Is Tax.d-Kffoot oi Ute Wool Duty. Cronemeyer’* Compilation. Borno days ago we noticed the simultaneous publication in several hightariff journals of some remarks about the price of tin plate said to have been made by William C. Cronemeyer, who waa for some yeare Secretary of the American Tinned Plate Association, and is now tho President of the United States Iron and Tin Plate ManufaoturIng Company. Mr. Cronemeyer has for years been familiar with statistics relating to tin plate, and the assertions ascribed to him were so far from the truth that we were unwilling to believe that he made them. It now appears, howefer, that these statemeute concerning prices were made by Mr. Cronemeyer In a letter written by him on Feb. 8 and read at the recent convention of tho Western Packers’ Canned Goode Association. They were as follows: “Two years ago the duty was only 1 cent per pound, or SI.OB per box, and a box of coke tin plate cost In New York $5,20; to-day the duty is 2 2-10 cents per pound, or $2.37 per box, and the pries of coke [tin plate] In New York is $5.35 per box; increase in duty $1.30’ per box, increase in price only 15 cents per box.” This has been going the rounds of the high-tariff press. The Chicago Inter Ocean published it with the customary comments, forgetting that It had published only six weeks earlier in its own trade reports a table of prices which showed that the price of tin plate in February, 1890, “two years ago,” had been only $4.50, instead of $5.20. The Tariff League’s Bulletin, or American Economist, brought itxout for the benefit of the 2,000 journals to which It supplies McKtaleyism In stereotyped plates. In many places It served as a text for learned discourses, in journals that do not look to the Bulletin for all their high-tariff essays. The Portland Oregonian appears to have relied upon a treacherous memory, for It surpassed Cronemeyer in the following assertion: “Two years ago the duty was only 1 cent a pound. Now the duty Is 2 2-10 cents; yet the price is no higher." The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle quoted the assertions of Cronemeyer’s letter, and remarked that “this trifling increase is not perceptible to the consumer or the retail grocer, and is but an insignificant item to the canning trade.” We might point to dozens of papers which have asked their readers to believe this story about the price of tin plate “two years ago.” The truth is that the price for the month of February, 1890, was $4.50, and that the price declined in the following three months. In May, 1890, It fell to $4.35, and from that point, immediately after the passage of the McKinley bill in the House, it began to rise. The price when Cronemeyer wrote his letter, $5.35, was $1 per box higher than the price paid just before the passage of the bill in the House, and 85 cents higher than the price in February, 1890. No one is more familiar with the history of prices in the tin-plate trade than Mr. Cronemeyer- has been for some years. It is announced that this same William C. Cronemeyer has been appointed by the Tin Plate Manufacturers' Association a member of a committee of two persons which is to “have full charge of the matter of an exhibit at the Republican convention at Minneapolis.” Mr. Cronemeyer, as Secretary of the American Tinned Plate Association, had “full charge* of an exhibition of tin plate in Pittsburg, in September, 1889. While conducting that exhibition he published and distributed a' ciwttlar in which he and his association said: “To counteract and offset the selfish greed of these importers is the aim of the American Tinned Plate Association, and forthat purpose it has erected this plant to awaken the interest of the public and to demonstrate that tin plates can be made here as well as anywhere in the world. And it is a fact, and we can prove It by figures, that they can be made here and sold with profit at present selling prices." What ffiere those prices? The Iron Age shows that tin plate was selling here then at $4.30 per box, and that the price had not been higher In any of the preceding months of that year. This -price was within five or ten cents of the lowest on record. It was lower than the price of tin plate when the higher duty was demanded by Cronemeyer and his associates from the McKinley Ways and Means Committee. But even at those figures it was possible, Cronemeyer and his association said, to make tin plate here and sell it at a profit under the old duty of 1 cent a pound. At the Minneapolis convention Cronemeyar should resurrect and explain the circular of 1889, but before the date of that convention he should withdraw the deliberate misstatements In his letter of Feb. 8, 1892. Cronemeyer professes to despise a “tin-plate liar.”—New York Times. Effect of the Wool Duty on Shteep Growing. “WhoJias been benefited by the tariff reduction on wool in the last thirty years?" The above question is being asked in “protective” journals, and we suppose is asked in good faith. The high tariff was first put on wool in 1857. It remained until 1883, when there was a very slight reduction, which was more than made up by the McKinley bill in 1890. It is not at all improbable that the organs of high taxes are ignorant on this point, therefore we take pleasure in correcting them. In connection with their statement of an alleged reduction of thirty years’ standing the organs present the following figures as to flocks: • 1875. 1891. Decrease, New England... 1,440,000 1,105,000 335,000 Middle btate*.. 3,959,200 2,389,900 1,578,800 Western States. 15,3 JI,BOO 14,120,632 1.180,078 i The Tribune has frequently pointed out —even as early as ten years ago-v---that the number of sheep in Indiana fell off several hundred thousand from 1870 to 1880, during' our highest tariff on wool. But the eSitor who calls the last thirty ■ years of our wool tariff a “reduction” shows Ignorance of the subject.—Rockville (Ind.) Tribune. Cort'eo Taxed. The proclamation of the President imposing the duties fixed by the “reciprocity” section of the McKinley tariff, which was foreshadowed by tho notice given on Jan. 8 last, has been issued, to take effect Immediately, It applies to the products of Colombia, Hayti, and Venezuela only. It Is the belief of the merchants Interested that it will seriously affect our trade with these countries. The only products really affected are coffee and hides, on which duties of 3 and 3J cents per pound respectively are imposed. Our imports of these articles from the above countries amounted to $15,295,628 of coffee and $1,690,264 of hides in 1891, or 15.9 and 6 per cent respectively of the total imports. Venezuela coffee Is unlike that of any other country and generally oommantis a higher price Lu. the United. States than in England. Tho only effects of this will be to compel the American constimers of coffee to pay the duty. No good results are possible from this use of the “reciprocity club." Its oniy affect will be to engender hatred against

us. Tn fact, It Is probable that the President would never have exercised hfs authority to Impose these duties had not the exigencies of politic* made it necessary. But, why select these Insignificant countries? Could not the reason advanced for not Including the Argentine and Uruguay In the list, to tho effect that their present poverty and financial distress precluded any arrangement with them, bo stretched to apply to Venezuela, Hayti and Colombia also? The very fact that these countries have not been included will have the effect of still further Increasing the prejudice against us. It will be hard to find any justification whatever for this new restriction of trade. Parish and Export*. The advocates of a high tariff have been doing their best to show that our export trade has not decreased since the enactment of the McKinley tariff law. Their object Is, of course, to prove that a high tai iff on Imported goods received in payment for exported goods does not cut down export trade. The returns of our export trade for the seven months ending with Jan. 31 last, as compared with the same months last year, Is a complete proof that high tariffs do decrease exports. Our exports have been as follows: > 1891, 189?, Product* of— Seven month*. Seven month*.

In fact, the total exports of all other goods other than products of agriculture have decreased over four and a half millions. At the same time all agricultural products other than breadstuffs have fallen off over twenty millions. It will be «seen, therefore, that the only Increase has been in breadstuffs, and since European crops were largely a failure In 1891 not even a total prohibition of imports could have prevented the starving people of Europe from buying our breadstuffs. As a matter of fact, therefore, these figures are a complete refutation of the claim that a high tariff does not injuriously offset our export trade. Pets on Men-of-War. On board a man-of-war there are usually several pets. Their presence is not frowned upon by the authorities, for the life of a sailor is monotonus, and a harmless diversion is welcome to both officers and men. Some one of these pets is usually a favorite, and is recognized by all, from the captain to the apprentice boy, as the ship’s mascot, says the New York News. The cruiser Baltimore has for her mascot a goat. When she was put in commission he was duly entered on the ship’s papers as “William Goat.” He is an old salt, having been brought up in Uncle Sam’s navy from a kid. The first cutter is the only boat in which he w4ll allow himself to be taken ashore. He listens to the service every Sunday morning in an exemplary manner. The Richmond had at one time a hog for a mascot. He used to take a bath every morning, and always presented an attractive exterior. His favorite amusement was to pace the deck half the night with the precision of an officer of the watch. When he got almost too fat to move he was allowed to die a natural death. His shipmates would have regarded it as cannibalism to send him to the cook’s coppers. As for eating a rasher Os what they took pride In, They’d as soon think of eatnig The pan it was f ried in. Monkeys are common on board ships serving in tropical and semi-tropical waters. The Yorktown, the Yantic and some other ships carry mastiffs. Many carry cats, and Cape pigeons are pets with the vessels on the Pacific station. The Chicago, the flagship of the White Squadron, now in South Amer; lean waters, has a pet parrot. It has but one grave fault for a sea-going bird. It has learned several words of command, and can imitate the voice of nearly every officer ou board. Its delight is to yell out when the men are at dinner, “All the first cutters” —accompanying the words with an excellent imitation of the boatswain’s pipe—and send the crew tumbling up from below. When the Thetis was in the Arctic she had a seal for a pet, but soon tired of it All it would do was to eat seven meals a day, bathe in a tub and lie on its side on the deck to be scratched and petted. All attempts to make a learned seal of it were utter failures. Price* for Human Flo*h. The story of the Austrian aries who recently escaped from Khartoum, as published in the London Graphic, is one of extraordinary interest. They confirm the report that Khartoum has been practically laid waste by the Mahdists and that Omdurman, adopted as the seat of government, has now a population of 120,000. Only a few years ago it was a mere straggling village; now it extends for over six miles along the west coast of the Nile. Among its more ambitious public buildings are the palace of the Knalifa, the mosque, the Mahdi's mausoleum, the barracks of the Jehadieh, and the slave market. Omdurman is not the only slave market in the Soudan. According to Father Ohrwalder, one of the escaped captives, there are important markets also at El Fasher and Beni Shangul. These, however, are not so much markets as collecting and sorting stations, and the trade transacted is strictly wholesale. Thence the pick of these human chattels are sent to Omdurman, where no time is lost in offering them for sale. The market is a large stone building, situated in the busiest portion of the town. It has a raised veranda, and an inclosed open space in front. Tho dealers assemble in groups on the veranda, where, reclining on straw mats, they smoke their nargilehs and drink their coffee. The prices of slaves vary according to the purposes fox which they are required. Able-bodied men bring from S2O to $25, young boys from $5 tp $7.50, women suitable for domestic service from sls to $20..

Te Core ffoeptawn™. Druggists tell ns that there is S growing demand for various medicines and preparations containing opiates in One shape or another. People wreck their nervous systems by injudicious habits of life, and the result is unsound sleep, dyspepsia and counties* other evils. A little advice to such persons may not be out of place. They should, of course, be careful to abandon that method of life which brings them into physical disorder. Their complaint may be fed by tobacco; narcotics should be avoided. One cause of their trouble may be that they take insufficient exercise. Perhaps they drink too much tea or coffee, or eat too much flesh meat. There are a thousand practices allowed by convention which are in themselves harmful and prejudicial to health. The quantity of sleep may be improved by diminishing the length of time spent in bed. A hot shower-bath at bed-time cleanses the skin and predisposes to sleep. Many a toiling business or literary man goes to bed tired and worn out, only to toss from one side to another. His brain is hot and full of blood, while his feet are cold. He thinks over again the thoughts that have been engaging his attention during the day, or does over again the business that has called forth his energies for twelve or sixteen hours past.' His night is a round of tossing to and fro. Is there any wonder that, failing to And out what is the true and natural remedy for his pains, he resorts to opiates, which he knows will give him temporary relief? There is one sure and safe way to remedy his pains. If, after leaving work, he would take a brisk walk of a mile or two before going to bed, and then, after the walk, hold his head under a stream of cold water, he would find relief—that is, supposing he does this when he is first troubled with sleepless nights. But, no; if he lives a half a mile or more from his work he takes a car home, and, throwing off his clothes, goes to bed as quickly as possible. The want of balance between mental and physical labor is a fruitful cause of sleeplessness. Many a business man, whose duties keep him in an office all day, would improve his health a great deal if he were to fit up his attic as a carpenter shop and spend an hour therein after supper. This, of course, would be beneficial only if he happened to have a liking for mechanics; then he would find his occupation afforded him amusement, mental occupation and muscular effort in just the proper proportions.—Herald of Health. A Hungarian Village. Stuhlweissenburg is a village of perhaps 25,000 people. In America it would be a city, but in Hungary it is a village, and properly one. It is a village in every respect. The streets are narrow, crooked and wretchedly paved, there are no sidewalks to speak of. The houses are nine-tenths of them but one story, and date back hundreds of years, the hotels are two stories in height and there are one or two buildings of recent date, owned by Jews, of three stories. The business part of the village is all on two streets, and consists of perhaps fifty of the most wretched and insignificant shops (there are two or three respectable dry goods concerns conducted by Jews), the average value of the goods in each not amounting to SIOO. The population is purely agricultural. Away from the two principal streets are long rows and straggling rows of dwellings, all alike, inhabited by ifarmers who reside in the village, where beer-halls and spirit-shops are convenient, and go out to work their lands miles away. It is in Hungary as in Germany—the farmers congregate in villages rather than live on their land. —Nasby in Exile. CoM Bath* Tor Typhoid. The system of cold baths in the treatment of typhoid fever as employed in Germany has been put to the test by Dr. Jostas, and he reported to the Societe des Hopitaux that during the years of 1888 and 1889 he treated thirty-six cases of typhoid fever by cold baths; that is to say, with water at 18 degrees C., repeating these every three hours. Os thirtysix cases the experimenter obtained thirty-three recoveries. Drs. Benov and Richards, who, on their side, had followed this method, obtained 103 recoveries out of 108 cases.

A colored porter at a Washington hotel had charge of tho hats of the guests who wont in to dine.
