Mary Ann Grier disappeared from her father’s home, two miles south of Wanatah, in this county, nearly forty years ago. A few days ago her body was recovered in an abandoned bog iron pit, without one vestige of change from the appearance it had known in life. The last shred of clothing was long ago de stroyed by the action of the water in which she had met her death, but tho same chemicals which removed the garments preserved the flesh. Not only is the contour of the farm perfect as in life, but even the color has remained unchanged. The arms and shoulders are as white as marble, the hands are brown, and one of them still bears the stains of the berries with which she was working the afternoon of) her disappearance. The cheeks are slightly brown, but suffused with a ruddy flush, which old settlers remember as one of the girl’s chief charms, and were it not for tne unsightly cavities that once contained the eyes thatjpetrified frame which has lain almost half a century in the soil would appear the peacefully sleeping figure of a healthy, handsome young woman. —Michigan City Dispatch.

The New York Evening Post says:

F om the best information that we can obtain we find that the American public has paid $4,500,000 in order that 1,000 hexes of tin plate may be made in this country, or about $4,500 per box. Is not this a pretty big price for American tin plates? Furthermore, after July 1 the additional tax imposed by Mr. McKinley and other high tariff republicans will amount to $26.88 in place of sls per ton, and unless the American tin plate mak ers (if there shall be at y) will produce vastly greater quantities than the samples they have yet done there will be an additional burden of $ll.BB per ton on all that is imported, as against a few samples that may in the course of a year be manufactured in the United States. It sho’d be said that the saies made at $5,75 for import under McKinley duty are for'packing American canned goods to be exported to England, on which a drawback of 99 per cent, of the duty is ref nded, so the English consumer gets our canned goods cheaper than our American consumers to the extent of $2,34 per box on the tin plates. The McKinley tin plate job is certainly proving a very costiy one to the American people.

HOW WE ARE TAXED.

No people ever addedto their wealth by taxing themselves. Individuals may be made wealthy when taxes are diverted to their benefit, but to the people as a whole, taxation is a drain. Inequalities of taxation creates inequalities of condition.— The smaller the tax, the better off are the people. In this country we are getting to think little about taxation. Few comprehend what vast sums we pay for our government. The Washington Post makes some comparisons that may aid in realizing the extent of our enormous burden:

All the gold, silver, copper, iron coal, petroleum and lead produced in this country last year could not pay the expenses of the government for the length of time. All the cotton, all the wool or all the rye, barley, wine, potatoes and tobacco produced in this country in a year co’d not do it. The national banks of this country have a combined capitalization of $599,000,000. One year’s expenses of the government would all but swallow up this sum. These are figures on government taxation alone. Add to this city, county and State taxation and something of the enormity of the burden may be comprehended. The United States has no great standing army, no government railroads, no immense navy, no profligate court of kings and princes. Yet its annual expenditures are greater than those of Austria or the German empire, greater than Great Britain and than British India and China, as great as those of the Russian empire. The revenue for this enormous expenditure is acquired but in one way, by taxation, by levy in one form or another, mainly in an indirect form, on the substances of the people. And yet the above does not embrace it all. It simply states what the government requires and receives with which to meet the expenditures demanded by the billion-doliar-Congress. It makes no reference tolthe far greater amount of tax—no less a tax because not collected by our custom house officials—paid into th. coffers of the monopolists. Our neighbor of the Republican hot long since unintentionally, but correctly described the Republican policy and system of taxation thusly: That which insures revenue to the government he designates a revenue duty; thatjwhich the monopolies collectjby virtue of republican legislation he designates a protective duty. And so it is, and the amount derived from the protective duty is three times greaterlthan is derived from the revenue duty. The National debt increased $922,915 during the month of May. Republican policy. The G. Hammond Co’s-plant is now assessed at $400,000, and yet this is about $265,000 more than former valuation.--This is how the new tax law grinds farmers and favors corporations. —Hammond News.

COST OF PROTECTION.

AN OBJECT LESSON FROM PLATE GLASS. What We Pay to Protect the Plate Glass Men—Home and Foreign Prices—What Labor Gets—Enormous Profits for the Manufacturer. It is announced in the trade papers that “the Pittsburgh Plate Glass company, of Creighton, Pa., have increased their capital stock from $2,000,000 to $3,500,000, this being found advisable by the enormous increase in the business. They have works at Creighton, with a monthly production of 100,000 square feet of polished plate glass; works at Tarentum, with a monthly production of 150.Q00 square feet, and at Ford City, with a monthly production of 250,000 square feet of polished plate glass.” A little calculation will show how much it costs the country to protect the Pittsburgh Plate Glass company. Protectionists boast how protection has bro’t down the price of domestic plate glass from $2,50 per foot to an average price of eightyfive cents per foot. Accepting their figures, the total price of the 500,000 squ re feet made by the Pittsburgh company per month would be $425,000. Our glass companies do not work all the year round; but allowing ten months of work for the Pittsburgh company, it would have a gross income of $4,250,000 per annum. Now the reports of the treasury department show that the plate glass imported last year was invoiced at slightly less than than thirty.three cents per square foot At this rate the ten months’ output of th? Pittsburgh company could be imported at a total cost of $1,650,000, a saving of $2,(500,000. In other words, the consumers of plate glass in this country are compelled by law to pay a tribute of $2,600,000 per annum to this single company over and above the cost of the same quantity of glass imported and laid down in New York. Or if this concern should work twelve months in the year, the price of its total product would be $5,100,000, of which, $3,020,000 would represent the extra tariff price. The high protection onplate glass, equal to 141 per cent, on the largest sizes, shows itself in the yearly dividends o’ this Pittsburgh concern. In 1889 its dividends were 34f per cent., as testified in court by one of the company, and its shares, with a par value of SIOO, are now worth S2OO.

Notwithstanding the high profits which this company is making by virtue of high protective|duties, it does notfor that reason pay its labor any higher than non-pro-tected labor. In no industry are the hours of labor longer than in this, and in none is the work harder. And yet while these manuiaoturers charge for their glass all that the tariff will allow, the wages of the workmen are lower tnan those paid .to laborers anywhere else in the United States for work equally difficult and exhaustive and requiring equal skill. The manufacture of plate glass is divided into four separate and distinct processes and departments: The casting hall in which the glass is cast and the rough plate rolled. The grinding of the rough plate with sand. The polishing of the plate by the use of emery, rouge and felt. The cutting and preparing of the finished plateh for shipment. The most difficult and severe labor is performed in the casting hall, but in grinding and polishing the greatest skill is required. In the following table the wages of the most important workmen only are given. A day’s work is from ten to twelve hours, more usually the latter, especially in the casting hall:

CASTING HALL. Daily wages. Master teaser, $3 00 Pourers and skimmers, 2 75 Kiln teasers, 2 50 Kiln mouthlmen, 2 00 Rough cutter, 3 00 grinding room. Boss layer, 3 00 First layer, 2 25 Seeo» d layer, 2 00 Third laver, . 1 75 First tableman, 2 50 Second tableman, 1 75 Cannelman, 1 50 Matcher, 2 25 POLISHING ROOM. First layer, 2 75 Second layer, 2 00 Third layer, 2 15 Fourth layer, 1 90 Mixers, 1 80 Matcher, 2 00 CUTTING ROOM. First cutter, 2 50 Second cutter, 2 25 Third and fourth cutters, 2 00 Fifth cutter, 1 75 Packer, 2 25 Helpers, 1 J 25 f 1 65 The above are- the wages paid by the Pittsburgh Plate Glass company at their works at Tarentum and Creighton, Pa. At th< ir plant in Ford City the workmen earn much less, in some cases 40 per cent, less than the above.

There are eight companies in this country engaged in making plate glass, having a combined capacity of about 10,000,000 feet per annum. At the prices already quoted this amount would cost the consumer $<,500,000 if bought in the home market; but it imported it could be had for $3,300,000. That is to say, we pay about $5,200,000 a year to protect our eight glass concerns. It is said that they all average above 25 per cent, in profits every year. In order to make the thing look less palpably absurd we pretend that we give this protection for the benefit of labor. But there are only about 3,000 laborers, including women and children, employed in the plate glass industry. In order to protect these we tax ourselves about sl,700 for aach one of them. The above tables show that only a small part of these laborers get as high as three dollars a day. Working ten months in the year, therefore, the highest priced labor in this industry can earn only S7BO. The consumer votes taxes to protect the laborer, but the manufacturer pockets these taxes in his 34 per ce t. dividends. Does it pay the people of this country to protect plate glass? -♦♦ . , Tfae finest Cream in town, as, . King’s Restaurant.

GIVE HIM A TIN PAIL. [Cincinnati Enquirer.] Inasmuch as Major McKinley was the author of the tin-tariff iniquity; and inasmuch as the Republican managing syndicate of Ohio will present Major McKinley with its nomination for Governor, it has occurred to this paper that an interTJ ew i,. h . eld by V 1 ® Bnffal ° Courier with Mr. Ehle, one of the largest manufacturers of tin dinner-pails in this country, is worthy of publication. The Courier summarizes the interview as follows: L The Buffalo manufacturers have been compelled to start a factory in Canada to supply their export trade. 2* At the Canada works they ctin turn out the finished product for what the tin costs here. 9. Wages have not been alvanced, but the cost of living has. 4. That American tin plate is not in the . mannf acturers can not get it. mVx ’“Ported tin plate, which costs box m Canada, costs $6 here. • j the increased cost of tin has ruined the manufacturer’s export trade, and thus made it impossible for him to pay higher wages. 7. That tin-pails can be mad# in Canada and imported into this country, bayihg 50 ner cent, duty as manufactured product, for 15 percent, less tnan they can be made here. 8. That the rebate of, duty omexoorted goods is of no value to any but a few of the largest manufacturers, because it costs more to collect it than it comes to. 9. That other American manufacturers are intending to remove to Canada It occurs to us that Major McKinley’s nomination should be presented to him in a tin dinner-pail, borne by a delegation of workingmen, who have to buy them.

One published in the Republican a few weeks since boasting that the McKinley tax reduced the price of wire nails from eight to two cents was a lie out of the whole cloth, and brother Marshall knew it. It is surprising how he can consent to refleet upon the intelligence of his readers. They know that wire nails connot be purchased at two cents per pound.! They know that if the tax taken off sugar reduced the price of that article, the tax increased on nails would not reduce the price—if reduced at all it may be attributed to simplified, cheaper and increased facilities for production. Alliance. 1

No Third Party. SUB-ALLIANCES IN KANSAS REPUDIATE THE WORK OF THE CIN« CINNATI CONVENTION. Topeka, Kan., June 15.—The returns received by the alliance executive committee from the sub-alliances, which were asked to pass judgment on the work done by the Cincinnati convention, are far from encouraging to the people’s party politicians. It is known that twenty-five suballiances have repudiated the third party movement. Fifteen of these have reported to the state alliance and ten to the repul lican state central committee. The resolutions of Cloud county repudiating the work of the Cincinnati convention are said to have a double significance because Cloud county is the home of Senator Wheeler the only alliance member of the senate, and has always been considered a people’s party stronghold. ’ Mr. J. C. Williams, photographer, has secured the services of Miss Hattie Wolfe, of Orangeville, 111., an expert retoucher, to assist in his gallery. “Double Dick and Joe, the Poor-House Waif -,” an intensely interesting serial, is commenced in this number of the Sentinel.
