COPPER AND THE TARIFF.

The farce of imposing a tax upon cop
per ore, says an exchange, is fully ex-
posed when the fact is made known that
copper is cheaper abroad than it is here
simply because the copper companies
have combined to keep up the price Of
American copper. Furthermore, North
American copper is far superior to that
of Chill which furnishes after the United
States the market of Europe, and the
copper companies have been giving their
productions to foreign consumers at
prices far lower than they make for the
native consumption. Their desire for
high duty is that they may demand and
receive high prices when they have
formed combination to control home
supply. The question of protection to
the infant industry should not be
considered a second. The cost Of getting
out the copper and making it ready
for the purchaser is, according to the re-
port of the Tamarack company, 81 cents
a pound. 1t is sold Tor 1888 cents a
pound. The Calumet and Hscla at an
outlay Of 7 cents makes profit of cents
on every pound. With a capital of ST.
600, 900 it has been paid out $33, 900, 900
in dividends in 10 years. Does it need
protection? Do any Of the companies
need high tariff to enable them to gain
a fair livelihood? Their idea OF tariff
revision is that it should be performed
in such way as to give them the great
est latitude in fixing the prices of their
production. And it must be admitted
that Mr. McKinley's bill has heen franz
ed in admirable accordance with thi,
conception. AS for regulating the cost
Of copper, or, indeed, ANY basis of manu-
features, with regard to the interest
of the buyers, it is evidently the furthest
object that the tariff committee has
sighted.

IT is now discovered that the recent
supreme court decision which asserts
that it is lawful to carry liquor into pro-

other lines of business than the liquor
trade. According to the New Haven

for believing that their product can be
carried into states which prohibit its
manufacture and sale, provided it is sold
in the original package.
