Fergus County argus., 1890-10-30

TN plate was, at the time we were ii
urlne on the bill, actually produced
the United States. In an ordinary Ii
cup there Is not any tin to speak OF;
Is sheet iron galvanized with TIN.
Is not TIN at all, except i'm this galvar
iI'ng or washing, the great body of tn
TIN cup being ordinary iron. Now, tn
iron we have here is just as cheap a
they have iron any place. Why no
make the tin plate IN this country an,
keep the twenty millions of dollar
here? We will just permit the blocl
tin itself to come in from any place i
viii, free of duty, but will say to tn
men engaged in selling tin plates, if yo,
want to sell tin plate to our peOpl
any longer, bring your tin over here Sc
we can tax 1t, make your tin plate OF
tins side, or else pay toll for the priv
leee of coming into the market. LOUD
applause.
AS "a result of this little legislation
several millions of dollars of capita
are already pledged and engaged TO &C
into the work OF manufacturing tin
plate, and before the bill goes into
effect as to this particular article, on
the first day OF next July, mark YOU
my words, the fear of American com.
petition will cause the Welsh manu-
facturers to actually lower the price OF
TN plate to our people for the purpose
oi Keeping down American cOmIeti-
ton. This they can readily do. An
ordinary tin vessel that costs Is cents
IN the open market-for which yOu
pay IL cents-cOsts less than \ cents
IN material and labor. Where does
the balance of the IS cents go? Mark
you, the labor that goes into the tin
bucket is paid for in the cents. The
fellow receives = cents for the bucket
Don't you think he makes about 10
cents profit ON that? and don't YOU
think lac would he quite as well off il
he only makes nine? and we get he
bucket at the same price? and lac pays
the treasury Of the United States
something to keep up the running en-
penses of the Government? II is
again alleged that this tarlfi hill will
cause everything in the market to
appreciate IN value. And as "a sample
of tins you are told now that canned
peaches have actually increased in
value. There is nothing said about
canned peaches in the bill, and there is
no tarlif IN tin at all now, and won't
he until July; but there was an unu,su-
ally short peach crop tins year, YOU
see, for winch the Mckinley bill was
iirectiy responsible. Applause.
Every tault that has occurred in
any neishborhood in the country has
been charged to this bill. The free
raiders are going over the country
ookin. Tor calamities OF all kinds |
hey are advertising for men that are
n distress so they can state the fact |
pf their mlsiortunes as particularly |
to n bill that has not |

The Cobden Club in London, and the |

ana anu the Democratic party now
ondemn the Mckinley bill. Don't
'ou think that Napoleon was about
light when he said, Find out what
he other fellow wants and then don't |
10 it.
We were leglslating for The people of
his country and not to suit the press
Il England, and the very fact that the
lbor when completed does not suit
he fellows on the other side is the best
violence of the fact that it will ulti-
lately suit us iirst-rate when we
Understand it. Applause. 1t re-
iices the revenue or the income of this
government some S65.OOO, 900; il
educes the income to u larger extent
han the Mills bill did. but it does if
n different lines.
Now, the Mckinley side OF the qlies-
ION Is this: \ well ordered people,
Wing IN II community called the North,
ueht to buy only those things they
annot raise. That is true OF the
lrmers. II hr can raise potatoes

i wheat and his oats and other
lin:s from his neighbors. IL does

the business. What we do buy is

y, we finally concluded that the ;
rllsgle was useless, and We simply
lrned the bars down and allowed In.
'gar To come in from where it was
ade. On some things the tariff has
ZEN slightly raised, and on some few
llnes, rs tin plate, it has been levied
n he first time, but upon the whole
le theory OF the bill is that those
llngs that are considered luxuries,
lose articles that are bought by the
ealthy and those that can afford to
ny expensive articies, the tariff has
zen raised because we believe that
hen people get so they can indulge
luxurles 1T don't hurt them to pay
II them; but on those things that .
me INTO the every day Use of the
eat body OF the people, you will find
lat the duties have only been prop !

Let me tel you OF a proposition {
