M'KINLEY PRICES RULE.
How the Republican Stone Wall Tariff Makes Things
Pleasant for Poor Consumers.

pet prices J. VI. Dimmick. a carpet man
ufacturer Of New York city, says that
the increase ia duty on carpet woods has
brought about corresponding rise in
all kinds Of carpets, and that the new
price lists now being made out would
show an increase averaging 10 per cent.
on the cheapest ingram carpets.
He said further: Carpets have come
to be q necessity, and when sper cent. is
added to the cost Of ingrain.ys, which are
sold at a low price. it simply means that
the poor people, who nse thise< grade of
carpet, are the sufferers. The higher
and better kinds of carpet are increased
about the same in price, but when it
comes to royal Wilton and Administer
the difference will not be felt SO much.
1t is In the cheaper carpets which are
used by poor people, and the Brussels
carpets which are purchased by people
IN moderate circumstances, that the in
creased cost will be most felt. This
state of things viii exist for time, but
the Democratic party win be in power
soon, and then the unnecessary and bad
tariff viii be wiped out. In passing the
Mckinley bill the Republican party

graduating saw teeth. A boy feeds the
sheets into the machine, which cuts the
teeth at the rate Of I 800 per minute.
The success of this machine is SO great
that DIR Dickinson says he observed in
the factory packages of saws addressed
to England.
And we are SO foolish rs to impose a
Mckinley tax on ourselves of 40 per
cent. on hand SAWS in order to protect
these successful manufacturer, who can
sell their saws in England Worse still,
this duty is used to fortify domestic
combination on trust in the safe pos
session Of the horne market
An ordinary carving knife, which sold
before the Mckinley law went into eff
feet for seventy-fve cents, is now sold
for Einety-fve cents. A better knife,
which bore a pre-McKinley price Of
$3.50. Is now sold at the Mckinley price
OF $1.79. A fifty cent pocket knife has
now become a sixty-6ye cent knife, but
the finer knives have advanced less, by
reason Of q relatively lower duty on these.
A 81 knife with shell handle has ad-
vanced IN price only twenty-five cents.
About 10 per cent. has been added to the
price of scissors.
A sample case under McKinley's cut
lery duties viii explain why knives have
gone up. A dozen common knives cost
ing sixty cents must pay an ad Yaiorem
duty of 80 per cent, which equals
thirty cents, and specific duty of fifty
cents, total eighty cents, or an equiva-
lent Of 1873 per cent ad valorem.
McKinley's linen duties are doing their
work. Towels which were 81 dozen
are now Sips; napkins which were 70
cents dozen are now 81 cents Towel
ing has gone up 4 cents yard: table
damask which was 25 cents yard is
now 30 cents, and tablecloths which
were 81 are now $115. Mckinley should
be happy, since linen goods are no longer
to be cheap and nasty"

M0NOPOLY'S PROFITS.
The Cotton Mills Count Up Their
Gains.

The cotton mills Of Fall River, Mass,
have been counting up their gains for
the year, and the showing, though not
so good as last year, affords abundant
evidence that the mill owners are reap
ing rich harvest of tariff spells. Six
capital of Sl0,310, 900, earned during the
year ending Sept. 30, 1890, the sum of
s., 261, S18 net, or 12} per cent. on their
capital. The total earnings of these
mills last year were 20 per cent, the
smaller earnings this year being due
solely to the price of cotton, which was
temporarily much higher in the spring
and summer than Is usual.
The prosperity of these mills may be
seen from the facts which have been
printed in the trade Journals about sew
eral of them, in connection with the re-
ports of the recent annual meetings.: At
the annual meeting of the Tecumseh
mills the net earnings for the previous
twelve months were given as $50. 900, OF
10 per cent. on their capital Of $500, 900,
of which $50, 800 was paid in dividends,
or at the rate of 81 per cent. per.annum.
The Stafford mills net earnings for the
year ending Sept. 80 amounted to $780,
000 ON capital of $500, 900, or net earn
ings of more than is per cent. The net
debt of the mills on Sept. 80 was $75, 1898
and the value of the plant 81, 160, $50.
The net earnings Of the Narragansett
mills were $61 900 on a capital Of $780,
600, and dividend of 81 per cent. was
paid. These mills have made great inn
provements during the year, and not
withstanding the insides of the mills
have been taken ont, transposed and new
machinery added, they were able to
make net profits Of 10 per cent. ON their
capital
The Hargraves mill, one of the new
est, canned 1853, 900 net during the year
ON capital of $500, 900, or nearly is per
ceut.
The King Philip showing is one Of the
most remarkable of the year. Its net
earnings were $4,000. on capital of
81 900, 900 with l04, 900 spindles, or net
earnings Of II per cent exclusive Of
SIP, 900 paid in reduction of the debt,
making total of over Is per cent. The
plant is free of debt, but there is an in
debtedness of $5S, 900 on tenements.
This year again the Granite mills show
the greatest percentage of earnings.
They earned more than 20 per cent; but
last year their earnings We're 37s per
cent.
The high rate of earnings made by
these mills Is subject Of special interest
to the public when it is remembered
that these earnings are rendered possible
by trust methods. These laills are en-.
gagged in weaving the plain cotton cloth
from which calico prints are made, and
which is therefore called printing cloth

AT any rae, We Lay expecI lilaC the
heavier duties OF the proposed French
tariff. whether the maximum or ultra
maximum, are intended mainly for our
products, since it is precisely our two
Mckinley laws--the customs adminis-
trative law and the tariff law proper
which have had most to do with arous-
ing the demand for higher tariff duties
in France. It is against us that the pres
ent high tariff agitation in France has
been directed.
This fact makes it Of special interest
to MS to inquire what some of the pro-
posed French duties are. They concern
mainly our agricultural products. In
1880 we sold France 20, 600, 600 pounds Of
lard, and this year 1900, 900 pounds.
Lard is at present admitted free into
France, but It is to go on the dutiable
list ct the minimum duty Of one cent
per pound. What higher duties are to
be imposed on our lard have not yet been
published. We exported 2, AIS, 900 pounds
of tallow to France in 1880 and sos, 900
pounds this year. Tallow is now on the
free list, but the proposed law viii lake
it dutiable, the rate as yet being uncer-
tain. Our exports of corned beef to
France in 1880 were 5000, 900 pounds,
the duty being 20 cents per 100 pounds.
The new minimum duty is to be 81 .45
per 100 pounds, with perhaps still
higher duty for u.s. One Of our largest
exports to France is crude mineral oil.
the figures being $4,000, 900 gallons for
1880 and e8, 00o,0 C0 for 1890. The ex-
listing duty is $1.55 per 100 pounds; the
new minimum duty viii be $1.8f.
Wheat and corn, of which we export
ed 10000, 900 bushels to France in 1880,
are not mentioned in the new tariff bill,
as the duties ON them were adjusted ear
ly in the summer. Corn, which had
been on the free list, was made dutiable
at about 10 cents a br1shel. American
wheat was made dutiable at SO cents
bushel, other wheat at IS cents. These
determinations were the first fruits of
the retaliatory agitation called forth in
France By our McKinleyism.
What further duties of retaliatory
nature the French are preparing for us
will appear later on when their bill is
completed and goes before the chamber
of deputies next February.
Enough, however, is already known
to show the aim OF the French in
their present legislation to be that of re-
taliation against us. If we build Nc
Kinley wall against France we must not
complain if she builds one against us.
Our trade with France is Of no small
advantage to us. We sold the French
$45, 000,0 900 worth of goods in 1899, and
we bought from France goods to the
value of SOS, 000, 900. If VIC adopt the
foolish Mckinley notion that buying in
France is harmful to us and seek to
prevent it by Mckinley duties. we must
not wonder that France is equally foolish
and tries to prevent her people from
buying from us.
1t must be noticed that in order to pro-
tect our manufacturers Mel inley arouses
a spirit of retaliation in France which
will be directed against our farmers.
This is but another case to show how,
while the manufacturer dances to the
music of protection, the farmer must pay
the miner at the end Of the frolic.

M'KINLEY'S NUOLEN TAX.
The Chicago Tribune Has Been Do
ing Some Figuring.

Some of the most unjust and most op-
pressive duties in the Mckinley tariff
are the duties under the wooden sched-
ules. Warm wooden clothing is neces-
sity with our people if anything is such.
and to lay the oppressive hand of taxa
ton upon it after the Mckinley fashion
is to burden the people of this country
to an extent almost criminal.
The Chicago Tribune, the greatest
Mckinley Republican paper of the
west, has been doing some figuring on
these wool and wooden duties. The re-
suit is given in the following table:
The Sunday morning news. [volume] (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1886-1891, 1890-12-21

The Tribune goes further with its
figuring and makes a careful calculation
of the entire cost of these Mckinley
duties to the country. It estimates this
total cost at from 500, 900. 600 to
$1a0, 900, 600 a year. This is, as it shows,
nearly s. per head for tho entire popula-
ton of the United States, or for each
family nearly $40 year. As, however.
the bulk of wooden goods is consumed
in the north, by reason Of the colder
climate, The Tribune justly concludes
that the extra Mckinley cost to each
family in the north viii average not less
than &l5.

produce cotton cloth SO much more
cheaply than it can be produced in
Europe, the humbug claim is still made
that we need duty on it to protect
American labor from the undergrad
pauper labor of Europe" The duty has
long been practically prohibitory, and
the slight reductions made by Mckinley
on some kinds of cotton cloth do moi
bring the duty down to point where
European competition can begin. The
home market being guaranteed to the
manufacturers they combine, and for
three years keep up the price of their
goods at a point where, as in one case

are made possible.
The protected cotton mill owners have
the advantage of cheaper cotton and
cheaper labor than European manufact-
urers have, and they have monopoly
Of the home market, yet some of these
tariff benefciaries who plead for pro-
lection to labor are actually reducing
the wages of their operatives. A recent
number. of The Dry Goods Economist
reports that the cotton weavers in Ions
dale, Valley Falls and Ashton, r. L,
have had their wages reduced by about
one-third. At meeting of the Fall
River combination, held Nov. &c, re-
duction of the wages of operatives was
the first measure proposed.
The cotton weaving industry is one of
the most promising infants" for the
weaving process that is to come soon.
Let the duties on cotton cloth be re-
moved or reduced TO point where COM
petition from abroad can begin, and the
Fall River combination will be COM
PEELED to surrender part of their IN
reasonable profits. The people would be

When the third combination went into

which means, Of course, that the mills
arc now making much Landowner gains
than those just noticed.
These mills have recently complained
much about overproduction. Toward
the end of the summer the stocks OF
printing cloths on hand had grown to
be SO large that an agreement was en-
tered into to shut down for week to
prevent the breaking Of prices. The
price of cotton having fallen very low.
the mills have been working at white
heat to turn out as much cloth as posi-.
BILE at the combination price. The result
is that the stock Of cotton cloth that has
accumulated in the mills Is enormous.
The stock on hand is nearly four times
greater than at the same time last year,
and more than ten times greater than IN
1888. Tt is probable that another shut
down may be ordered to get rid OF this
enormous stock, and in that case the mill
operatives may sit on the fence and re-
feet upon the beauty of protection to
American labor.

mills are paid considerably less by the
