The Democratic Sentinel.

The Democratic Sentinel claims to quote the words of a local dealer in saying that the reason why tin fruit cans are not higher this year than last year “may be attributed to the throat-cutting process so easily resorted to by some dealers." It is certainly an extraordinaly circumstance if the habits in business of a few Rensselaer merchants has the effect to keep down the price of articles of tin manufacture all over this broad country. Take the neighboring town of Delphi, for instance. There, sevoral weeks ago, the Jonmal published the statements of about a dozen dealers, every one of whom said that tin cans were selling at the same price as last year, and no one has been found to deny the truth of their statements.—Rensselaei Republican. And no donbt the Delphi gentlemen will say with the dealer in Rensselaer, “I pay $2 per box more for tin this year than last, but I sell cans at the same, even though there is nothing in it, because my competitor has chosen to do so.” "The habits in business of a few Rensselaer merchants,” and “about a dozen dealers" in Delphi, doesn’t seem to have a following, however, among the dealers in How ard county, adjoining Carroll, as the following indioates: THE FARMERS AND THE TIN PLATE TAX. [Kokomo Dispatch.] The farmers of Howard county are enjoying an expensive but, it is hoped, instructive experience in the operation of the tin-plate schedule of the McKinley bill. That measure was to stimulate the tin industry of the country. Manufacto. ries were to spring up in every quarter and every artiole of tinware was to be made as plentiful as the blades of growing grass and almost as cheap by the added tax. Well, the farmer who still clings to tin cans for preserving his fruits and vegetables finds that they cost him 65 cents per dozen this fall, instead of 50 cents per dozen, the price he paid last year. He now begins to look about for the infant industries this tax has stimulated, and with very good reason, too. The farmers of Howard county planted hundreds of acres of tomatoes. The crop isexcellent and every grower stood to realize from $35 to SIOO on the acre. There is no ohance of this now. To-day the Kokomo oanning works refused to receive another bnshel of the vegetable for au indefinite time. The reasons given is that oans for packinf the tomatoes cannot be had Thousands of bushels are rotting in the yards at the works. Tons upon tons are decaying in the fields. The loss to Howard county farmers cannot be counted in less than five figures. No wonder they are asking for the whereabouts of the “infant tin industries.” Bald heads aro too many when they may be covered with a luxuriant growth of hair by using the best of all restorers, Hall’s Hair Renewer.

RECIPROCITY WITH GERMANY.

Reports agree In the statement that a reciprocity treatybeen negotiated between the United States ana Germany, but they dc not agree in regard to the terms of the treaty. According to one report the German government agrees to admit American cereals entirely free of duty. According to another, Germany does not agree to admit anything entirely free, but does agree to make considerable reduction in its tariff taxes on not only cereals, hut animals and animal products as well. The latter is probably correct. The German taxes on imported cereals, and meats are high, aifor ing a good margin for a reciprocity dioker. On wneat, for instance, the tax is about 32 cents per bushel. A reduc on of one half, and a like reduotion on other cereals, cattle and pork, would probably be accepted as a sufficient compensation for what we have to offer under the McKinley act, namely, the free admission of German beet sugar into onr markets. It is worth remarking that neither the German oonsumers of wheat and pork nor the American consumers of sugar will necessarily gain anything by the arrangement. Anerican consumers will certainly gain nothing, in the absence of an agreement the worst that oould happen would be the imposition of half the old rates on German sngar. But as we could still get an abundance of sngar from other sources free of tax the price to American oonsumers woult be about the same, agreement or no agreemeit. As for German consumers, if the reduction is made on American products only, the prices they will have to pay for wheat and pork may be governed by the higher rates which will still be exacted on the like produets of other countries. They will he benefited, however, if they can supply the most of their deficiencies by purchasing fiom this country. The only ones sure to be benefited are the sugar producers of Germany and the frain and pork producers of this country. he latter will gain a market and the former will hold one that they would be likely to lose in the*absence of an agreement. This little approach to free trade will, therefore, be productive of some good.

AN IMPORTANT BILL.

The Royal Baking Powder Condemned in the New York Legislature. [New York Press, April 13, 1891.] Last Monday Mr. Kelly introducea the following bill in the assembly. A careful reading of it will show that it is a very important one. An Act to prevent the use of poisonous and injurious ingredients in baking powders. Whereas, Baking Powders manufactured in this state, known ns the “ROYAL" alum and other Baking Powders are advertised for sale as absolutely pure; and, Whebi as, Official examination show them to contain ammonia and other injurious ingredients; therefore The People op the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows: Seotion I.—Every can or package of baking powder containing Ammonia offered for sale in this State shall have a conspicuous label thereon with the words “Contains Ammonia," printed thereon in plain type, not smaller than great primer and any person who shall sell, or have or offer for sale, any snch can or package of baking powder without snch label thereon, shall be guilty of misdemeanor. Section 2. This act shall take effect July 1, 1891. . ■ «»>■■ Itch on human and horses and oil animals cured in 30 minutss by Woolford s Sanitary Lotion. This never fails.

40 you* the standard. A Pure Cream royal, tayxor’s one spoon, Tartar Powder Contains Ammonia. Contains Alum and Ammonia. Dr. Price gives larger and fuller cans than those of any other Baking Powder manufacturer. Above cut represents the comparative size of one pound can each *‘Dr. Price’s,” Royal” and “Taylor’s One Spoon.” These cans were set side by side, then photographed down in exact proportions to admit the plate in this space. Ask your grocer to set a one pound can of any other brand alongside 1 lb. Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder, and observe the difference, as illustrated above. Adulterated powders may usually be detected by their heavier bulk, as shown by the 6mall cans, and these scantily filled, often containing a circular to help fill out the cans. It is a singular fact that many of the ammonia and alum baking powders are advertised as “Absolutely Pure,” All official examinations prove that it would be safe to reject all powders labeled absolutely pure. The economy in using Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder does not consist alone in the fact that much larger and fuller cans are given, but Dr. Price’s is a stronger, purer and more wholesome baking powder than any other known. Does better work, and goes farther, hence more economical in every way. What woman would use an ammonia or alum baking powder if she knew it ? Such powders not only undermine the health, but ammonia gives to the complexion a sallow and blotched appearance. Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder is reported by all authorities as free from ammonia, alum, l me, or any other adulterant. The purity of this ideal powder has never been questioned. Refuse all substitutes. They conceal either ammonia or alum.

A SECOND-HAND FALSEHOOD. Free trade would make the poor poorer. —Chicago Tribune. The monopolists and tariff robbers in England said the same thing fifty years ago, but they were not believed and free trade was established. What is the result? Wages have increased from 20 to 100 per cent, and in no case have they been decreased, while the price of everything that the poor buy has been diminished. Here are the percentages of increase in certain wages in England between 1840 and 1883 as given by -.riffen: Occupation. Increase, per oent. Carpenters, 42 Brioklayers, 50 Masons, 24 Miners, 50 Pattern weavers, 55 Wool scourers, 30 Spinners, 20 Weavers, i SO Warpers, 58 Winders and reelers, 83 Spinners (children) 130 In the face of the well-known and universallyjacknowledged fact|thal free trade has doubled the wages of labor in England, reduced the cost of living, extended commerce and multiplied national we Ith a thousand fold, it requires a good deal of impudenoe for an Amerioan at this date to repeat the exploded falsehoods of the English monopolists of fiftv years ago.— Protection is an economical error fully demonstrated. It clips the poor man’s wages in front and in rear, and it benefits nobody except a few monopolists who are already rich and powerful.—Chicago Herald.

We can get a fair idea of the dependence that Ohio republicans have placed upon “blocks-of-five” and “two-dollar-bills” by the remark of one of Major McKinley’s Cincinnati supporters,Jas reported at Columbus by the correspondent of a high tariff organ in Chicago. This stanch and true tin plater says: “A conservative estimate of McKinley’s majority in Hamilton County is from 5,000 to 8,000, and but for that monstrosity known as the Australian ballot law it would be 20,000 ” What a pity it is that McKinley’s forward march to monopoly, high taxes and high prices should be impeded by a law that prevents his creatures from bulldozing workingmen and stuffing the ballo^ o1 * es!—Exchange

“Not all is gold that glitters* is a true saying; it is equally true that not all is sarsaparilla that is so labelled. If yon woulcl be sure of the genuine article, ask for Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and take no other. Health is too precious to be trifled with.

Call in at Ellis & Murray’s and look at their Underwear stock. At the Gibson House in Cincinnati, the other day, an Indiana republican said: “I have been traveling a good deal through Ohio and am familiar with the political situation. McKinley would win easily if it were not for the new election law- the Australian ballot system—which is to be tried for the first time in Ohio this year. Under the operations of that law. the only way in which money can be effectively used is to hire the democrats to stay away from the polls. That is always a hard thing to do, as the non-voterwill be spotted and his treachery will be apparent,— But it will n«t do for the republicans to buy a man’s vote and then let him go into a booth and prepare a secret ballot. The chances are too great that he wo 1 Id take money from the republicans and then vote the democratic ticket. There is nothin? else to be done except to hire the purchasable democrats and doubtful voters to stay at home on election day. The republican managers in Ohio have adopted that pro ramme as the best and, indeed, the oulv thing to be done under the circumstances. We have now had considerable experience with the Australian method of balloting in Indiana, and we find that the system largely favors the democr ts. Indiana, under that law, has become a reliably democratic state. Next yoar we shall adopt, in that state, the plan of hiring the purchasable e ement to stay awa. fro.n the jrolls, but I doul t if v,q can thus be able to secure republic n success.” Said I: “ Why do you say that the Australian ballot syste n is an advantage to the d mo. rats?” “Because the maioriy of the poor people of this count.y are democrats. If left to follow the r own convictions they will vote the democratic ticket. Now, w'e had I always been able in Indiana under the | old system o puroh se and persuade many j of these people to vote for the republican j candidates In large manufacturing es- I tabiiehments, owned by republicans, the operatives could generally be induced to * vo eas their employers wished, lint the ! new svstem permits the voter to ca t nu a solutelv secret ballot, and the result of recent elections in Indiana conducted under that svstem demonstrates conclus- ; ively that nearly all the doubtful voters I put democratic tiokets into the ballot boxes.*

THE McKINLEY THIMBLE RIG.

The foreigner does not pay the tariff taxes; you pay thorn.” So says MoKinley when he is talking to the people about sugar. *We took the tax off sugar, and now you don’t have to pay it; you get your sugar just so much cheaper. You know you do. See how we have relieved you of taxation by taking the tariff off from raw sugar." “Don’t you believe those wioked demo, crats when they tell you that the tariff is a tax. The foreigner pavs it; you don’t.” So says McKinley when he fears that the people will apply his sugar dootrine to other things, such as olothing, blankets, glass, olrockery, and the thousands of aiticles of iron and steel they have to use. And to prove that tho foreigner pays the tax he assorts that the Canadian farmer pays a tax of 25 cents a bushel on wheat when he markets his crop in Erie, which he doesn’t do, unless for foreign shipment free of tax. He also produoes a list of fifty articles whioh he says are oheaper tha they wore before his tariff went into effect, osrelessly including some things on which the tax has been reduced.— Among these things is binding twine, which is put down in the list as 3] cents a pound cheaper than it was when the new tariff was passed. But the new tariff takes off the tax of sls to $25 per ton on the materials of binding twine and places those mater als on the rreo list. It also educes the tax on binding twine from 2i to 7-10 of a cent a pound. So here we have another case where the foreigner does not pav the tax, but the Amerioan consumer pays it and something more.— That is, he did pay it until the tax was abolished, and since then he has been free of the tax.

“The Amerioan consumer pays the tax; not the foreigner.” So McKinley would suy to the Ohio wool grower if he dared refer to the subjoot at all: “We put up the tariff on wool, and in our Ohio platform we have promised to put it up still higher, so as to enable you to get higher prices from the American consumer because it is he, and not tho foreigner, who pays the ta\.” But somehow the Ohio wool grower do sn’t get the higher prioe. Ho doesn’t get What he expected and what was proui- | isedlam. Ho is greatly disappointed, and so Mc Kinley discreetly say nothing about it. But ho still insi ts as a general prop, osition that tho tariff' is not a tax when xoa buy, but it is a tax when you sell.— *■*"** Tho people appreciate Vt for wi.at it is worth as » doctrine in applied economics.—Chiongo Heruld, i !

The new Dunlap shape in stiff hats, at Ellis & Murray's.'* One of the most tolling points In Governor Campbell’s Ada speeoh was his ex. plauation that law, increasing taxation from 40 to 60 per cent. in time of peace, was pressed on the plet of protection to American labor, and that, nevertheless, it had rednced the wages of many laborers and inoi eased those of not a singlo one. Then followed a choice passage: I hold in my hand a list of thirty great establishmehts in this country, inoluding the gentleman you named a while ago, Mr. Carnegie’s place, working 36,300 men, in which organized labor is banished, in which even the great Association of Amalgamated Iron and Steel Workersthat tbev seduced in trying to got the tariff on tin, to raise their w ges; and in those establishments organization is not permitted, and I ask the Major now, and I ask him to answer here, whethor he upholds the banishing of organized labor from the great factories of the country. [Applause.] Since this speech was made the cigarmakers have concluded their great $25, - 000,000 Trust, with the view to the exclusion of Union labor.

The McKinley Bill is from beginning to end an exclusively party scheme, deliberately, inflexibly and irresistably forced upon the count y by a disciplined and teriorized congressional majority, at the behests of wealthy industrialists who, in consideration of this service rendered, have contributed funds and influence for oai rying the election in the interest of the party now in ascendency, or more correctly, of csrtain party leaders. It will stand upon the statute books as the grossest and most corrupt exorcise of legislative power ever perpstra ed in the history of the country, and us the signal monument of a point of departure at which wealth and corrupt politics joined hands in alliance for defeating public opinion in the government -of Ihe nation.- New York Commercial Bulletin (non-partisan).

Take them down stairs and singe the fur a little, and then mark them down to sl2 from $20.” The next week Mr. Bluejoy said gleefully to his partner, “Nothing like fire, smoke and water to raise the price of goods; there’s not a single one of our last year’s styles left over in any of our goods. We’ll send for our new stock to-morrow.’’— Carl PretzeVa Weekly.
