There was but one thing fairly visible, and that was a colossal Chicago cheek high up in the heavens, bearing the legend “ World's fair in Chicago in 1892,” and below it an immense Chicago chin which seemed to be wagging to the tune, “Eight million dollars and ten dol- lars of it spot cash.” Everybody in Chicago, however, was apprehen- sive, some were sick, and a prolonged wail occasionally rose above the gloom—"I never will bluff any more.” AND SO SAYS JAMES MONROE. [™ SHOULD go without saying that a United States party will go through the Central and South American states, That will mean strength for the union of interests soon to be accomplished at Wash- ington, and such action immediately thereafter as will open up the great countries south of us to northern energy, capital and business. We need their goods and they need ours; ‘and these numerous republics are linked together so that the interests of any one ought to be, prac- tically as well as theoretically, the interests of the whole. TIN-AND THE TARIFF. HERE is not a farmer's dinner-horn, pan, can, or dinner-pail used in the United States but is wholly of English manufacture. We send to the other side $60,000 every day in the year to pay for this widely-used material, Five-sixths of all the tin made in the British isles is exported tothe United States. This magnificent market is worthy of all the ef- forts of the great combine, or “tin trust,” to preserve. This metal, as black as unrusted iron, was found till recently in but few places in the world, It is said that the securing of these mines in sav- age “Albion” was the chiefest reason for Albion's by Julius Caesar two thousand years ago. The bronze weap- ons and embossed shields of antiquity were made of an al- loy of this wonderful metal, which is so ductile that it can be beaten thin as gold lustrous that its whiteness out- lasts the lustre of silver. We who, in this day of its compar- ative plentitude, look at it as carrying the hypocritical sem- blance of silver, speak of it with an air akin to contempt, as “nothing but tin.” Not of much value alone, when in partnership with other metals, in combination with copper as brass, or as a cover of thin sheets of iron, it is of wonderful utility. Iron, so given to rust; iron, which the oxygen of the air gnaws in russet flakes to rottenness, shelters itself under the resisting enamel of this protector. Until recently all the known sources of supply of tin were the mines of Malacca, Wales, and the English county of Cornwall, Now the Australian continent has de- veloped a surprising supply, and in the Black hills of the new state of orth Dakota the worthless grains of the sceming bogus iron, cursed by the gold-seekers as a nuisance, are found to be tin, Five hundred square miles of voleanic rock, in ridge and canyon, show the black specules and fibres of this valuable metal, soliditied in the mass that once was a molten caldron. The best product in Cornwall is fifty pounds of tin to the ton of solid rock. ‘The Dakota tin, of average selection, sent to England for assaying, gave nearly sixty-three pounds to the ton, Such was the inter- est awakened by this new source of supply to meet the world’s ever- increasing demand that a gathering of English cap the control of tin, met last year and formed a syndic trolling interest in the deposits in Dakota. Great Britain has controlled all the sources of production, and supplied the world with block or manufactured tin. Previous to 1720 Holland held and supplied all the markets. Then England put prohibitory duties on tin, and developed its own mines to such a wonderful degree that the free-trade Netherlands abandoned i ‘The attempt in 1875 in Pennsyl sheet-iron with imported Spanish or tin roof, tin cup, plate, milk- invasion so sts, interested ir © to purchase a con- For over a century and a half 's manufacture, and lost their market. ania and Ohio to cover American tl English tin signally failed. in The tariff comicbooks.com
