The fact that state Senator Richardson
has said that the Mckinley bill will only
add z cents per dozen cans to the price OF
canned goods is no reason why even that
amount should be unfairly taken from the
consumer. Senator Richardson said to us
two months since that he did not care any
thing about what the tax on tin-plate might
be so that II should not be charged SO often;
that his firm merely changed the increased
cost to the consumer and thus secured their
usual profit. The fact that they have made
a reputation for goods of such high quality
is something the tirm may Will be
proud of, and that reputation is the
only cause OF their being able to add to the
selling price OF their goods the tariff tax.
This Is by no means fair exampls because
the conditions surrounding the ordinary
Gamer are entirely different. AL the can
rera on the Peninsu.a or nearly all of them,
have commenced Business since the firm OF
Richardson Il RJuh!ns had made q reputa.
tion and several fortunes besides. They
struck msrket constently sinking and
many of thsln have fai,si, while others are
hanging by thsr eye lids. Taese are the
msn who are etfected by tho tariff In the
case OF the Watkins Packing Company, as
solid a fl m as Delaware can boast OF, the
tariff charges On the tin used amounts
to about $4,000 each year. This company
Is compelled, by force of circumstances, to
sell Its products In the domestic market In
competition with other goods Of the same
grade, and consequently cannot add to the
prices realized sufficiently to cover the ex-
ira cost OF tin caused by the tariff. In this
case about 80 farmers supply all the raw
material used, and as the firm has not mad
time to make such reputation as that OF
Richardson u Robbins, they are compelled
to take the ruling market price; thus the
$1,000 must be taken off the cost OF raw
material furnished by The 30 farmers, max
ing the yearly tax an average OF 300 to
each man furnishing raw material TO this
factory. The case ts the SANG In all other
factories ON the Peninsula, with one or two
exceptions.

LONDON. May 29.-The Geographical Society
Of Australasia at Melbourne has sent small
expedition to the northeast corner of the Con-
tinent for the purpose of investigating the re-
ports that traces have been found there OF the
famous explorer DR.. Leichhardt. This en-
plorer made himself famous about half
century ago by his remarkable journey from
the place where Brisbane. the capital of
Queensland. has since arisen. northwest
across the Continent. 1t was by far tho most
extensive journey made in Australia up to
that time and threw much light upon the
nature of the interior OF the country.
In lS4S DIR. l.eichhardt started again with a
small party to cross Australia from east to
west. Ho was MOI very far from the coast
when the last news was heard from him. and
from that day TO this his fate has been in
volved in mystery. no trustworthy informa-
tion having ever been obtained by later eX-
plorers.
News was recently brought to Melbourne
by Mr.. McPhee. a reliable white man. that q
tribe in tho Kimberley district possess. various
relics of the expeditioD, and that there are
aged men In tho tribe who saw the party. and
are aware that they perished tor lack OF water.
The reports about these relics are so circum-
stantia that it has been deemed advisable to
investigate them. There is reason to believe
that some conclusive information will soon be
obtained about the fate OF the traveller who is
recognized as the greatest OF the early eX-
plorers Of Australia, and whose books are Still
read with Interest.
