THE WIRE MAIL QUESTION.

Under Protection the Price Has Been Low
cred Year After Year and the Production
Increased-Instesd of Consumers Being
Robbed BY the Tariff, the Free Traders
Assert, They Have Been Saved Millions of
Dollars. sgr.E-
Much has been written of late about
wire nails--the duty. price, increased
production, etc. A free trade paper says
truthfully that prior to 1888 wire nails
were not on the dutiable list; that dur
ing that year Congress put on duty of
four cents per pound and then their
manufacture in the United States began.
The article further truthfully admits
that while the price was So per keg in
1885 it had fallen in 1889 to about 50 per
keg. and, while we manufactured only
80, 900 kegs in 1888, our production had
increased to $500, 900 kegs in 1889. So
far our free trade contemporary is cor
rect, but he makes an absurd statement
which needs refutation. The writer as
sumes that because the nails now sell
for 81 per keg they should have done so
in 1888 and every year since. With this
assumption he produces the following
table. asserting that the difference be-
tween the present price and the average
prices each year has been a bonus taken
from the consumer. His table is as fol-
lows:

could no longer bear to live In England
after the loss that had fa1leH on him,

at the time, indeed. Il believe that a
large portion ofvour income went from

of the journey, with the rough ways of
our fellow emigrants, still remains upon
my mind. At last it came to an end,
and we reached Africa, which was not
to leave again for many, many years.
In those days civilization had not made
any great progress in Southern Africa.
