TYPEwRITERs, PROTECTED As PER CENT.
A typewriter which costs in this conn
try, 500. or, il the buyer has already
purchased three, $50 for each additional
one he may buy, can be bought for ex-
port for $50.
But space is worth something, and it
Is idle to print more. For every item
here quoted, or that remains to be
quoted, the ,price-lists are on file, and
these prices to American and foreign
consumers are the prices certified as cor
rect ouer the signatures Of the protected
firms charging them.
There is no guess work in the fore
going figures. They cannot be i'm
peached by any Republican editor or
advocate of the continuance OF Protec-
ton who has any character to lose.
To the blind, the deaf and the idiotic,
who cannot or will not look or listen,
these figures will have no meaning, but
TO the men of sense, who have not sur
rendered themselves into party slavery,
they will have much. They can no
longer believe the liars who are hired by
the mill-owners to tell them that
they need this protection" and must
have it or they must close their mills.
The mill-owners, banded together to
rob their countrymen, have bought from
Congress legal protection TO rob their
countrymen" and have hired the Repub-
| lican leaders and the Republican news
papers to throw dust in the eyes OF the
farmers who compete with them. The
mill owners pour out money like water
to buy Republican elections. and when
they fail to respond with enough the
''fat is fried out of them" To get still
more of that money for the election OF
1890 and 1892 the farmers OF this coun-
try are to be absolutely despoiled oil
their foreign exchange market. Their
crops are to be limited to what we
can consume in this country. The
farm surplus must rot or be
burned-for no farmer shall be
permitted to exchange what he can
not use and what his country cannot
use for something they both need, the
Republican party leaders and newspa
perS unite in declaring. II the farmers
over produce, they add, then they
are criminals and they deserve
the misfortune that comes from
it. Only mill-owner may law
fully over-produce and sell abroad
and to help him we will make the farm,
er pay enough taxes into the Federal
Treasury to enable the mili-owner to
have free transportation TO foreign coun-
tries for the goods he now sells cheaper
to foreigners than to his own country
men. But the farmer shall not export.

prices. The above prices to the home
trade are for spot cash for axes delivered
on ears at the factory; for export the
axes are delivered in New York.
Last month the axe manufacturers OF
the United States formed a Trust"
under the name of the american Axe
and Tool Company" The Trust was
formed by the consolidation OF fourteen
of the largest manufacturing concerns
in the country. Concerning it the Iron
Age of March 81, 1890, says: 1.-THE gen.
eral feeling among the trade is that the
axe makers have formed very strong
association and have complete control
of the market, or so nearly so that the
outside makers will have scarcely any
appreciable affect on prices. 1t
is found that scarcely any
orders can be placed with outside manu-
facturers who are not under the control
of the American Axe and Tool Com
pany.' The trade will do well to note
the changed condition in this line of
goods as regards the higher prices now
ruling, and the strong probability OF
their maintenance for some time to come.
On first quality goods an advance is how
made of S1.75 to S2.25." a further adj
vance is contemplated in the home mar
ket. There is no advance possible in
in the foreign market.

One of the very closest combinations
engaged in any branch of the iron trade
controls the production and price OF
wood screws. The manufacturers keep
IN prices here at their will, protected
as they are by the high duties. Screws
which cost the home dealer SO
net can be obtained for export for 5000,
or third less, provided bill of lad
ing is shown the manufacturer to as
sure him that the goods have been
actually exported that consumers here
have not profted by his generosity to
foreign consumers.
The manufacturer of rivets is also
controlled by a combination here. and
while it makes the home dealer and
consumer pay high prices, the exporter
and foreign consumer are very favoraoly
treated. Rivets listed at SO, for in
stance. are sold to the largest home
dealers for $3.50. but TO the exporter,
regardless of quantity, for only $3.50.
On all such goods as screw clamps, saw
vises, pulley hooks, jack screws, barn
door hangers and other hardware specl-
alties of similar description, which cost
the large home dealers net price OF $40,
for instance, the exporter gets a dis
count of at least 10 per cent, and conse-
quently pays only 80.

ON FARMERS
Backs Is Laid the Burden of
High Protection.

The issue of the New York World of
May IA last contained the following in
tereSting article, an article OF the
utmost Importance 10 farmers and TO
consumers generally, because it shows
what the American monopolieS are
doing under cover of the tariff which
gives them a monopoly Of the home
market Not a fact contained herein
has been disputed by any protected
manufacturer for every figure is taken
from the price lists published by them
selves or the export agencies, and
these, of course, they could not dispute.
Here is the Worlds article in full and
every American citizen should be ac-
quainted with the positive facts it con-
tainS:
THE ARTICLE.
The protected manufacturers of the
United States have two selling prices-a
wholesale price for home trade and a
retail price for foreign trade. The sit
uatiOn is summed up by one of them who
writes:
"Our prices TO the domestic trade
average about 10 per cent. more than to
the export trade. We box and deliver
in New York all our export goods.
Domestic goods are quoted on cars here. y
Another says very frankly:
Our discounts TO the home trade are
for wholesale purchases. Our discounts
10 foreign trade are for retail purchases.
We sell single machines at retail TO the
foreign purchaser at 10 per cent. less
than our wholesale rates TO the domeS-
tic buyer
Nearly all our protected manufac-
turerS advertise in foreign newspapers,
and from their advertisements it can be
seen that the foregoing statements are
very conservative. They sell abroad re-
tail at p to 40 per cent. discount on the
wholesale prices charged in this coun-
try.
Two papers are published in New
York City for circulation in foreign
countries only. IL is very difficult TO
ret comics. but not impossible, and who
ever will take the trouble to write to
either one for copy will be told frank
ly that the reason they are not sold in
this country is because ne retGu prices
quoted for export are considerably tOlcer
than large dealers must pay for the same
articles here Ot wholesale" These are
the exact words which the editor of one
of them used.
The australian and South american
published the advertisements of our pro-
tected manufacturers and the prices
current" for Australia.
The american Mail and Express jour
nal publishes the foreign price list in
separate supplement, which can only
be obtained from a foreign country, so
carefully is il guarded.
The Engineering and Mining Journal
npblishes am American edition and an
Export Supplement" which is not sold
in this country, but which can be OBJ
rained bv any person writing for it.
The head of this reads, in large type:
EXPORT SUPPLEMENT-
Nsir YORK Prices Current.

BurTANIA AND PLATED wARE-PRo-
TECTED 35 PER CENT.

For what is called hollow-ware, such
as tea sets, cake dishes, &C., listed at
$1,000. the home dealer pays $40, but
the buyer for the foreign market pays
only S4.61 for the same articles.
On knives. forks, spoons and other
fat-ware listed at $1,000, the price to
the dealer in the "home market is
S4.36; but buyer for export, regard
less of the quantity he may take, pays
only 3.73 for the same articles.
The largest manufacturers of these
goods have consolidated their interests
and in this way control prices as though
a Trust had been formed. That the
public generally may not become aware
of this the goods are sold with the
stamps of the old companies, as though
no change had taken place.

Boston, Mass, Sept. 2S.-An at
tempt has been made in Boston within a
few days to "fry'' some "fat' out of
the manufacturers. II is known that q
movement is on foot in this city to collect
be benefited by McKinley's bill in aid
of Mckinley g reelection TO congress. A
man is about soliciting mouey for this
purpose and it is understood that every
effort will be made to induce the manu-
facturers to contribute enough money TO
secure his reelection. The agent has
said that Mr.. Mckinley must be re-
turned to the house, no mat
ter what it costs. 1t is not
clear under whose direction this
agent is acting or whether he comes
from Ohio or Washington or New York,
or is a Boston man. The work may be
going on without the knowledge of Maj.
Mckinley, but 1t is going on, just the
same. Some of those who have been ap-
preached are wondering if the same
thing is being tried on all the man
ufacturers of New England. One
Boston victim of the political assessment
scheme told a friend that he was in a
peculiar situation, but he supposed he
would have to contribute something.
The fat-frying circulars of the presi-
dental campaign of 1888 are still remem-
bered by ali vino take au interest in poll
tics, and this method of personal solicit
tation seems to have been decided upon
as the better means of accomplishing the
desired result.

The Germania on the other hand protests
against charging the aristocracy with general
corruption, holding that only those are corrupt
