THE TUT TAG PARTY.
The Republican party in Ohio
might be called the tin tag party,
for ail the idiots who belong to the
clubs are running around tagged
with little pieces oftin made in the
shape of buttons with "American
tin" stamped on them. This is a
trick of the tin-tariffites to fool
somebody into the belief that the
tin-plate industry is already an es- I
tablished one in this country, and J
they point to it as one of the grand
results of the McKinley tariff. Great
is the little tin tag, great is cheek
and great is humbug, and great
idiots are the people who permit
themselves to- be fooled by such a
cheap and gauzy fraud. '
Some person of an enquiring turn
of mind who became interested in
these little tin tags with which Mc
Kinley marked his dupes, took the
trouble to post himself about these
tags which were performing in the
role of first products of our tin-plate
manufactories, and found that they
are made of tin-plate imported from
- Wales, and that the only thing
American about them is the word
"American" stamped on them and
the American simpletons who wear
them in the belief that they are
really American tin. All of the
numerous tin-plate factories wnich
have been erected -by Republi
can editors have not yet man
ufactured genuine American tin
plate enough to make these
little buttons with which the McKin
ley manipulators tag their unsophis-
- ticated dupes. If one of the softs
who wear these tags were to go into
a tin shop and ask the proprietor for
a dinner pail, a basin, a cup or any
thing else made out of American tin
plate ithe proprietor, if he were
honest, would reply that he didn't
have it in the shop and never saw
one.
Some .tin-plate has been made in
this country, in small quantities,
about enough to send to Republican
conventions to show as samples of
the great strides the tin-plate in-
dustry was making under the robust
impetus given it by the McKinley
utrm, uut neany every Dit of this
American tin-plate was made of iron
plates imported from Wales, dipped
in tin imported from Wales. There
was nothing American about it but
the boxes in which it was packed for
carriage and the nails which held the
boxes together.
But it answers the purpose of hum
bug, the game which the Republi
can party engineers are playing, as
they have ' played it in every cam
paign. They are exalting tin and de
crying silver, in which the people
have far more interest than they
nave in all the tin tags the button.
shops can turn out or in all the tin
horns this side of Jericho.
uut they are not fooling anybody
much by their tag devices unless,
perhaps, it may be some of the
simpletons who wear the tags, for
all ordinarily intelligent people in
this country who read the papers
and keep up with the current events
of the day know that there is as yet
nothing in this country : that can be I
correctly called a tin-plate manufac
tory.. The alert newspaper reports
have run down the alleged proprie
tors of all the new tin-plate factories
that have been announced and have
as yet failed to find one where a
genuine article of tin-plate was
made, or attempted to be made.
If it were left to the Republican
editors we would soon have more
tin-plate factories and more tin-mines
than we could shake a stick at. Un
fortunately for the business neither
the factories nor the mines material
ize and we are substantially in the
same tin-shopeless and tin-mineless
condition in which we were before
McKinley whacked on his $8,000,000
a year in addition to the $7,00Q,000
the American people had been pay
ing to put the tin-plate industry on
its feet, and keep it there until it got
strong enough to stand "and toddle
alone.
- Of all the monstrous frauds this
tin-plate tax is the worst, and of all
the arrant humbugs this little tin
tag trick is one of the cheapest and
most transparent. It is about the
size of the frauds who are resorting
to it.
MINOR MENTION.
In a letter to Gen. W. F.Enochs,
member of Congress for the 12tb
Ohio district, who wrote for infor
mation in reference to the delay in
the settlement of pension claims,
Commissioner Raum gives some
facts which show what an immense
machine the Pension Bureau has be
come. On the 1st of July, he says,
there were 523,737 claimants who
have never been pensioned prosecut
ing claims before the bureau, and
there were pending in the shape of
-claims for increase of pensions and
duplicate claims under different laws
395,689 cases, making a total of
929,426 claims pending. During last
year the Department received 154,
817 communications from members
of Congress making inquiry in re
gard to the status of certain claims,
at the rate of over 500 a day. In
addition to these there were received
from claimants, their friends and at
torneys, 1,170,660 communications,
making inquiry as to the status of
claims, at the rate of 3,800 per day
The receipt of all these was acknow
ledged. Claims are now being acted
upon at the rate of about 3,000 a
month and Gen. Raum hopes to be
able to turn out 350,000 certificates
during the present fiscal year, which
will be an increase of 100,000 over
last year. But this will not dispose
of more than one third of the cases
pending and still they continue to
come in. Gen. Raum gives the
soothing information, however, that
he thinks money enough has been
appropriated to meet the demands
for this year, without creating a
deficiency
The Republicans are hedging on
the silver question by declaring
openly or' substantially for the free
coinage of American silver. The
Pennsylvania Republican convention
declared for the coinage of American
l silver, while the New York conven
tion declares that the Act of July 14,
1890, provides for the purchase of
the silver product of the American
mines. By American mines they
mean the mines of this country,
although the word would cover as
well the mines of other portions of
this continent. As a matter of fact
the law of July 14, 1890, calls for the
purchase of more silver bull
ion than can be secured for
coinage purposes from the
mines of this country. According
to the Director of the Mint the pro
duct of our mines last year was
54,500,000 onnces, 8,791,598 of which
were used in the arts, leaving 45,-
708,403 for coinage purposes. The
act of July requires the U. S. Treas-
urer to purchase ' 4,500,000 ounces a
month, which would be within 500,-
000 ounces of the total product of the
mines of this country. Deducting
from this the amount used in the
arts it would leave a shortage of
over 8,000,000 ounces a year to be
purchased from foreign countries, so
that the declaration of these Repub
lican conventions in favor of the
coinage of American silver practical
ly does not amount to much, but if
construed closely would reduce
rather than increase the coinage.
There seems to have been some
methodical lying done about the re
ported seizure of the Island of Mity
lerit by the British, which turns out
to be a fake. It was not, however,
simply a delusion or a scare, for the
I several dispatches coming from dit-
ferent sources show too much method
for that. . It may possibly have been
started, as some think, to influence
the stock" and other markets, and
again it may have been started as a
feeler of European sentiment, or per
haps as a hint to Turkey and Russia
of what might be done in an emer-
gency. a ake or no take, tne inci
dent is not without significance. The
fact that a division of the British
fleet is manoeuvring in that particu
lar locality at this particular time,
and the further faqt that a landing
had been made, even by a party of
pic-nicing officers, without going
through the formality of saying any
thing about it, are. not without sig
nificance either. What was alleged
to have been done, it is shown could
be done on short notice.
STATE TOPICS.
The Lenoir Topic in speaking of
some of the crop yields in that
vicinity, says one farmer raised a
thousand bushels of oats, some of
the land yielding as much as seventy-five
bushels to the acre. After
harvesting this crop he cut a crop of
crab grass from the same land,
which he considers as valuable as
the oat crop. A gardener in Lenoir
raised an immense crop of Irish
potatoes, the average size of which
was very large, some of them weigh
ing as much as two pounds and a
half. In view of the fact that the
soil of our State produces grain and
vegetables so well and so abundant
ly it may seem strange that we im
port so much grain, flour, &c., from
other States, and that we depend al--most
exclusively on other States for
the Irish potatoes consume'd m our
cities and towns. In the fall and
winter it is almost impossible to find
a home-grown Irish potato for sale
in the town stores, and the people
who use them buy those that are
shipped from the North and pay for
them about two dollars a bushel,
when just as good, if not better, can
be raised in any part of North Caro
lina. "Roswell P. was the favorite Flower
with the New York Democratic con
vention. Roswell is a daisy, and he
is reported to have abar'l, which may
be interesting information for Mr.
Fasset.

CURRENT COMMENT.
With two Interstate Commis-
sionershlps, a Judge Advocate Gen
eralship, one or two Cabinetships
and a raft of Circuit Judgeships to
fill, the President may be truly said
to have a busy Fall ahead of him.
He will have use for all the ozone
and energy he can store up from the
salt air of the sea beach, or by jaunts
in the September glories of the hunt
ing fields. Phil. Record, Dem.
It appears that the Tennes
nessee tin mine, from which Mr.
Niedringhaus ordered 30,000 pounds
of tin, has about shut down and
turned its workmen out. Some of
the tin-tax papers are of the opinion
that this is the result of a conspiracy
among the English directors of the
mining company to discredit the
new tariff laws; and, of course, they
demand a higher tax, to compel, as
they say, the development of this
property. The tariff mania is a fear-
ful thing, and when it takes hold of
the mind the ravings of the victim
are piteous. Louisville Courier Jour
nal, JJem. .
If Professor Dyrenfurth had
succeeded in producing the reported
rains in Texas, the showers could by
no means have been so profuse as
the liberal amount of lying about
them has been. Telegrams through
out the country were intended' to
convey the idea that Dyrenfurth
had done something toward ac
counting for the $9,000 of the peo
ple's money which Congress foolish
ly expended on this freak. But while
the Professor was proclaiming the
success of his experiments the
Texas newspapers were saying that
there was not a drop of rain within
miles of the meteorological mounte
bank. We must, therefore, assume
that the Professor is a dynamic and
prismatic prevaricator.iv". Y. Ad

THE PALMIC0 DISTURBANCE,
Crov. Hoi Orders the Protection of the
State Officials Even If the Militia Has to
be Called Out.
Gov. Holt has written the follow
ing letter.
Raleigh, N. C, Sept. 12.
To the Sheriff of Pamlico County.
' Dear Sirt " I am informed from
the most reliable authority that offi
cers of the State and their assistants
while engaged in the execution of
their duties In the. , county of Pam
lico, were a few days ago violently
raided and assaulted by a band of
armed and lawless men, and that it
will be dangerous, if not Impossible,
for those officers to perform the du
ties imposed upon them by law,
without the aid and protection of
the civil officers of Pamlico county.
1 refer to the resistance and assault
made upon Gen. W. G. Lewis, State
Engineer of Shell Fisheries, and his
assistants at Vandemere last Satur
day. j
It is your duty to employ all the
powers of your office to protect these
officers while they are in the perfor
mance of their duties, and I now
write to urge that you be diligent , in
that respect. You can accompany
them while they are engagedin their
work and may also appoint and de
tail for their assistance such number
ot deputies as may be necessary for
their protection, and in case of any
further resistance or violence you
may call out the power of the coun
ty to quell it and arrest the offenders.
The energetic exercise of these
powers will, it is believed, make it
unnecessary for the Executive to re
sort to employment of the military
force of the State.
Yours very truly,
Thos. M. Holt, Gov.
Plenty of Money in New Yorlj.
Savannah News.
The New York banks have plenty
of money. There is no doubt about
that. At the close of business hours
on Saturday they had $8,722,775 in
excess of legal requirements. On
the same day of the month last year
the amount they held was $3,306,925
less than the legal requirements.
They are therefore more than $12,
000,000 better off than they were a
year ago.
And money can be obtained on
call in New York at a very low rate
of interest, but time loans are diffi
cult to get. This condition of
affairs explains why there is such
stringency in the - money market.
The loss of confidence caused by
the Baring Bros.' disaster has not
been fully restored. Bankers don't
like to let their money go where
they cannot get it immediately if
they should need it.
They have no particular reason
for thinking they will need it, but
there is an unexplainable something
in the financial situation which makes
them extremely conservative. And
they could not afford to be caught
without sufficient money to meet the
demands to which they must respond
as soon as made.
A great deal more money could be
used with advantage by the banks
of this city, but they cannot get it
from the New York banks. They
are willing to pay the interest de
manded on time loans, but they
could not safely bind themselves to
return the money whenever it might
be called for. Their inability to
comply with this condition is what
prevents them from getting all the
money they need.
The financial situatton is, how
ever, gradually improving. Confi
dence is returning, though slowly.
Unless some unforeseen disaster oc
curs in the financial world it will not
be long, probably, before money will
be as plentiful as it was before the
present stringency began.
TORTURE TO WIN A BRIDE.
The Cannibal Butooudoa Lover Must L.et
the Ants Eat His Arm.
Philadelphia Press.
On the lower Amazon dwell the
cannibal Butocudos, who distort their
features with the biggest ornaments
of a certain kind known. In baby
hood both men and women have
their lower lips and the lobes of their
ears pierced with holes, in which are
thrust pieces of wood.' As they
grow older these wooden adornments
are made bigger and bigger until an
adult ordinarily has ear lobes that
hang down to the shoulders and a
lip that projects six inches or more
beyond the nose. One must suffer
to be beautiful, as the French
say, and such is the inexorable
fashion among those anthropophagi.
I In that countryja young man who de
sires to take a wife must first submit
himself to a frightful ordeal. He
draws over each arm up to the
shoulder a loose armlet woven of
palm leaves.
Then, under supervision by his
elders, he plunges both arms as far
as he can into a nest of fierce de
vouring ants. The insects at once
attack the intruder, of course, and,
according to the terms of the trial
he must stand without moving for an
hour, submitting with absolute stoi
cism to the bites of the enraged crea
tures. If he endures the test he is
entitled to a bride, otherwise he must
wait for a year and then undergo it
again. There are still tribes descend
ed from the ancient Incas which
bandage the heads of their children
so that they assume a conical form.
Funnily enough, the brain does not
seem to suffer -any injury from this
treatment.
