OUR TIM PLATE PRODUCT A New York newspaper of a five .trade stamp, has been endeavoring recently to cas aspersions on the tin plale industries of the country and Philadelphia in particular, which have been started everywhere as a result of the additional duty lixed y tlie McKinley bill on im ported roofing tin. The sallies have been directed mainlv against the N &. G. Taylor Company of this city which began to iiiauufacture tin plate in a mill at I rout and Laurel Streets some weeks ago. It is claimed upon an aliened in vestigatio.i thai the..i: il. Tavior Co. did not have any tin plate work.- nor could tin mm lurnisii anv American ti'i plate. A further sertion was made th.it the company was making boasts of turning out an good tin piate as could be pur chased across the water, in order t( bring trade for their imported mate rial, and also correspondence which they could not otherwise procure The Press, yesterday, took oc Casion to investigate these reports A visit was made to the works, at Front and Lau-el Streets- A gang of workers were seen busily en g'agrd m the manufacture of tin plate and the thoughts of probable illusion were speedily dispelled. The factory is a long, low brick building. Along the east side of the big open room were piles of black sheet iron. Adjacent to them were oilier piles of shining tin plate in boxes and ready for packing. At the southern end of the building was a huge brick furnace with six fires. Above the furnace was a large iron protector, placed there to carry off the fumes of the palm oil. Near hy was the machinery used for stamping the sheets. Along the west wall was the "pickling" para phernalia. Two hours of investiga tion produced a conviction beyond all doubt that tin plate, as fine as any of European make, was cer tainly being manufactured. This brand of tin that the company is making is the Taylor ' Old Style" brautl, and the impression stamped on every sheet shows the brand, thickness, trade-mark and name (R. & G. Taylor Co., Phila.) A fellow seized a black iron plate from a pile nestling against an iron support. These plates are made from Siemens-Martin soft steel. The preparation of these black, glistenting sheets for tin plate manufacture is interesting. They are "pickled" and annealed; then they are cold rolled, re-annealed and made perfectly square. This makes the sheets soft and plia ble. Next they are packed in boxes so that the edges may not be in jured. The burly fellow with one of these finely prepared iron sheets dexterously handed it to the man at the "pickling" vat. The vat is a large wooden trough filled with water diluted with a strong solu tion of sulphuric acid. The sheet is dipped into the vat several times and then goes to the man at the water vat. There it is deposited several moments. The sheet next goes to the "scorer" who skillfully scrubs it with sand and passes it to an auburn.bearded man who de posits it into another vat of water -od recleans it, "beet iron is ready to is tossed over sway with the other 11 1 sheet m box. The "sorter" upon being asked whether the plate was good as any made in Great Hritian or other tin plate centers replied con fidently: "It is certainly equal to it at the least". The busy worker then explained that a certain fine imported tin plate was taken as a pattern. lie held the pattern in one hand and the newly manufactured American tinplate in the other, "Look at them both carefully", concluded the sorter smiling, "and I think you will admit that if there is any difference in the quality of the two. you will say as I do, that the American is better.

Graham came down i,i and visited the people oi this congrevat ion the latter part of last week. our The following from the Beatrice Democrat is copied and fully en dorsed by the Lincoln Herald: It has been suggested that the democrats join in voting the inde pendent ticket throughout the state, thereby driving the republicans out of every court house in Nebraska. The suggestion is meeting with favor though tne zealous independ ent cranks may throw the fat all in the lire by their boasting bigotry. W hatever action the democrats take in this matter will be prompted be cause of a conscientious desire to rid the state of the republican part v, which is the acknowledged enemy of the country, the representative of the money power and monopoly and the foe of honest and economical (Y-ni-iirtimont - -".. "Hie boasting bigotry of inde pendent cranks" is certainly not a termthe people's party.willbe proud of, and in good faith and with the best of intention we hasten to sug gest to Hrother Marven and Col Calhoun that in their attempt to woo the new party, and lure it into the democratic fold, they had better use milder terms, and call them prettier names or the 'peoples party will resent the implied insult. We should hate to be called a "boasting bigot" ourselves, and we are not over nice about such trifles either. The independent is very touchey on these subjects, a fact that we fear the democratic brethern have over looked. Call them the talented scholarly gentlemen,who burning with partriotic fervor, have mapped out new lines of political action which you heartily approve of.

The t ime-servirg- policy, and dodging of important issues, is a part of the history of democracy, and the "Leopard will not change its spots." History but repeats itself, so that the present attitude of the old party of slavery and states' rights will cause no sur prise among people familiar with the political annals of our country. A CCOD REPORT. Fk'om the Inter Ocean we clip the following', which is certainly very encouraging to our western farmer, we ml- hope the prediction so care fully made may prove absolutely correct: "August R. Schillbarger, repre senting one of the largest grain ex porting houses in New York, is on his way lo '.bat city, after having made a tour of the wheat fields of the West and Northwest in order to ascertain what the prospects fo the coming crop were. "I believe that the yield of this year will be phenomenal,.' Mr. Schillbarger said, "for everything seems to be working in that direc tion- In the Dakotas and Minneso ta, the crops have been excellent so far, ami unless there is some sud den and disastrous change in the weather the harvest will be an ex ceptionally good one. This is es pecially true of the region adjacent to the Red River of the North. I have frequently visited the wheat field of that district, and never at this season of the year have I seen them looking better than at the piesent time. Going further south, the outlook is even better. In South ern Nebraska, the whole of Kansas, Northern Texas, and Missouri, the crops are simply pertect. there were no late frosts, there has been plenty of water, and every condi tion has been favorable for the growth of wheat. "There was some fear a short time ago that heavy rains might damage the growing crop, but "in my opin ion, this danger is past. The wheat is too far advanced to suffer to any considerable extent, and it may be counted upon with certainty that the crops will be the best of any harvested with the last three years. "This large yield will not, as is generally the 'case, depress prices, for the European drought is the heaviest for years, and unless something unexpected conies the call for American grain will be unprecedented."
