the Welshmen are right. Since the duty /
is imposed for protection, not for revenue, /
10 should be high enough 20 create the new /
industry or 10 will be a burden on the people. ]
~ the new duty does not answer its pur- /
pose the next Congress, If 10 be- Republican, |
can put on duty that will protect
Was ever more astounding doctrine /
preached. Before the Mckinley bin /
went into effect the people were paying /
more than two prices for their tin Ito /
encourage its manufacture here. still /
il could not De manufactured here. The /
Mckinley bill more than doubles the old /
duty aud the old price. Aud still it is |
not high enough TO enable anybody TO /
make 10 proftahly in the United States.
Now, th, IHtciligmccr advocates that I
Congress ''put on duty that will pro- /
tect." Or, in other words, il advocates |
that the people be forced by law TO pay. |
If need Doe, a half dozen prices for their
tin % enable these WelShmen or some
body else to start a tin plate factory /
here ON a profitable basis.

that once the industry is established

What has been our experience with
other protected industries? Has any

In the meantime the double Mckinley
tariff on tiu plate has gone into effect,
and the people will have 90 pay the adj

THIS MAY EXPLAIN TIE FALSE
FIGURES.
The New York World makes some
startling charges against the Admins
tration. 10 makes them publicly and
specifically and they will have To be
