No city in the world contains no
many homeeteads as Philadelphia In
no city Ia the world are there as many
workingmen who live rent free, be
cause they own their own homes. In
no city in the world is there larger
aggregate Of workinmen's savings in
vestedaor in savings banks. Perhaps
no c:sT in the world has a larger pro-
portion OF wage earners in its popula-
tion. Philadelphia is pre- eninently a
city Of homes, as it is pre-eminently a
city Of diversified manufactures. Since
1852 there have been erected in Phila-
delphia enough houses to make five or
six cities like Newark. This great
growth and prosperity date from the
passage of the Morrill, tariff bill, and
have been fostered by tariff protection.
Samuel ]. Randall. Phil ,delphian.
has seen the wonderful development
Of his native city under the stimulus
Of tariff protection. He knows that if
this tariff protection should be re
moved, Philadelphia and every other
manufacturing centre would feel the
blighting eff,cts. A Democrat in all
things else, he would be false TO him
self and false to those who elected him
as their tu ted representative if he
followed the free trade banner set up
by Mil and his fellow free traders
MIR. Randall has eyes to see. he
gets his economic lessons from the
school of practical experience. To
him Philadelphia is a great object

theories of the free traders are empty

The TIN Pirs-Cup and Tin Cans.

The TIN Pirt-Cup and Tin Cans.
TAir LEAGUE Bali, tin.
A great deal has been said during the
tariff debate just closed relative to the
hardships of the farmer and the work
ingman growing out Of the duty Of
one cent a pound on tin plate. We
fully agree with those who regard the
present duty as an inequitable one, and
no sufficient reason for its continuance
at the present rate can be advanced il
there is any respect paid to principle
in the making up Of the tariff schedule
The only logical course to pursue is to
advance the duty on tin plate to a
poiRt at least equal to the duty on sheet
iron. out OF which it is made; 90 to 9s
per cent. OF the plate being sheet
iron, OF sheet steel, aud the balance
tin.
But some one objects to the duty on
tin because Of the enormous tax il
levies on the tin pint-cup Of the work
ing man. We have before us a letter
hAoAh u kthttChhdu Az AiiAhtio ASAotANt w

and makes pint-c cups. He pays 1
per cent. for the tin for a cup and
cents for making ir, and sells the cup
for . cents; thus paying his journey
men wages equal to 200 per cent. on
the cost of the tin, and making himself
66s per cent profit on the cost Of the
labor and cap tall 1t will appear from
this that It is not alone the unholy,
iniquitous tariff that is responsible
forsthe price of tin-cups.
And now a word regarding the i'm
mense tax there is claimed to be on
the tin 90 extensively used in canning.
Actually it amounts to SO cents per
gross, OF one-quarter OF a cent on each
pound can. This is indeed a burden,
but one not to be compared with the
burdensome misstatements Of certain
free trade advocates.
