Tin in the Black Bills.

The Chicago Inter Ocean, which is about the only prominent advocate of McKinleyism left among the Republican journals of the West, says: “The tin ore of the Black Hills is richer by fourteen times in pure metal than that of Europe. ” It is to be hoped that this is true. If it is true this high tariff organ ought to go on and explain why it is necessary to impose a protective tax of four cents a pound on pig tin. Does the organ claim that with fourteen times the advantage of the Europeans wo cannot compete with their pauper tin? If love is to be really the crown of life, it must be a crown of thorns as well as a crown of roses. It must nerve ns for bearing sorrow; it should make us pure by pain and by forgetting self. —Anon.
