THAT COPPER MINE swINoLe.
The Electrical companie. Want Free


The Electrical Companies Want Free
Copper.
The electric companies in the United
States want copper ingots, bars, plates,
rods and wires placed on the free list.
at the last public hearing of the COM
mittee of ways and means ON tariff ques-
tions Mr.. George NJ. Phelps, of New
York, representing the New York Ma
tional Electrical Lighting association,
urged that the copper mines of the
United States are the largest and finest
in the world; that copper can be pro-
duced more cheaply here than anywhere
else, and that prices are artificially main
tanned within the boundaries of the coun-
try by combination OF the mine own
ers, which nobody can deny.
The duty on copper in any of the
forms above mentioned is four cents a
pound. Ii is curious thing that while
we export copper in large quantities to
Europe, the price is always higher in
this country. The Calume and Hecla
mine in Michigan has paid i s sharehold-
ers over $50, 000, 600 dividends on a CAPT
tai of S2,500,000 since 1879. Therefore,
these cannot require any protection.
The existence of trust is almost self
evident. Copper can be raised and re-
fined at the Lake Superiol- mines at a
cost not exceeding four cents.
It can be landed in New Y ork city free
at cents. Yet the quotation for it in
the New York Metal Exchange on Jan.
10, 1890, was 144 cents a pound. On
the same day the price OF copper in
London was $50 per ton, or approx.
mately IL cents pound. So that,
after paying costs of freight and insu-
rance to London, the mine owners OF
this country were still able to sell il
there 81 cents pound cheaoer than in
New York. 1t only needs &c be pointed
out that this 4 cents differential or there.
abouts has prevailed against his country
since 1879, and that cents a pound is
the amount of the duty, to see that the
American consumer has to ply the mine
owner this amount more than the for
eigner. No wonder the foreigner can
undersell us in outside markets!
