German Anarchists Secret Club in
London.
Emperor Williams Approaching Visit
Stirs Them Up, But They Are
Warned Not to Provoke
Public Attention.

The German anarchists are said to
have secret club in East London, in
which the most dangerous doctrines are
discussed, and action against other
governments urged, if not determined
upon. No overt act has, however, yet
been proved against these people The
Russian nihilists also have headquar.
ters in London, where conspiracies are
hatched, and the means provided to car
ry them out. There is strong under.
current of sympathy with the nihilists,
which does not exist for the German
anarchists, and the latter would do
well, if they value their ease, not to
provoke public attention during the i'm.
'perial -isit. The kaiser, on leaving for
London, leaves Prince Henry in charge
of the empire during his absence.
Prince Henry has been well trained to
occupy the post of regent, either
in war or peace. He is credited with
having all the kaiser's energy without
his eccentricity. 1t is stated that the
Grand Duke Frederick, of Baden,
has addressed a memorial to the
kaiser energetically opposing the read.
mission of the Jesuits to Germany.
The grand duke is a strong enemy OF
Jesuits, having banished them from his
duchy in 1855. His wife being an aunt
to the kaiser, the grand duke possesses
much influence with the kaiser, which
he has always used in behalf of the
maintenance of strictly conservative
policy, both toward church and state.
On the subject OF the Jesuits the
kaiser is believed to be in perfect har-
mony with the grand duke.
The police of Dresden have received
special orders to attend all meetings in
which they have reason to suspect that
any attacks upon the government will
be uttered, and to arrest any person
guilty of disorderly language or Of lese
majestas. While no effort will be made
to prevent representation of German

Why We Have High Wages.

Laborers get higher wages in the
United States than in great Britain,
but they deserve to, for they work
harder. The Birmingham (Ala) La
Dor Advocate SAYS:
THE officers of the British iron and
steel institute, who were in this city
and others parts of the south and west
a few months ago, affirm that the
mechanics work great deal harder in
this country than in England; that toll
here is more intense and excessive, es.
pecially in mill life, than it is in En-
gland, and that in the United States
one man often does the work of two OF
three in England
Such high authority as the New
York Engineering and Mining Journal
bears the same testimony. 1t says:
at is certain that we can mine and
manufacture at less cost here than is
done in England, even xith our wages
nearly or quite twice as high This
well known fact is due to the greater
output here per man per day, partly be
cause our men work harder than is the
custom abroad, and partly because of
our greater use of labor-saving devices.

That Wire Nail Carard.

1t is to be hoped that Robert p. Por-
ter knows more about compiling census
reports than he knows about the tariff,
He has recently returned once more to
that stale wire nail story in an an inter-
vew. He says: "In 1882, when was on
the tariff commission, voted to double
the duty on wire nails which were then
selling at 10 cents per pound, with a
duty of cents. This country at that
time was manufacturing $4,000 kegs of
these nails yearly. Congress doubled
the duty What was the result? The
price of wire nails has gone down to
2H cents pound and we are now pro-
ducing 3, 900, 900 kegs annually. Thus
in less than two years we have estab-
lished an industry and reduced the
price, and the Mckinley bill put the
tariff back to . cents per pound"
Mr.. Porter's figures may be true
enough, but his conclusion is all wrong.
Every body knows that the great expan-
sion of the wire nail industry was due
to the invention six or seven years ago
of machine which works almost auto
matically, turning out an enormous
quantity of nails with very little labor.

These figures alone do not bring out
fully the difficulty of making cheap tin

These figures alone do not bring out
fully the difficulty of making cheap tin
plates in this country. The thickness
of sheets in the first three columns is
No. 81 wire gauge; but sheets for MAX
ing by far the greater part of the tin
plates used are much thinner, being
what are known in the trade as No. 80
wire gauge. Only roofing tin is made
of thickness so great as No. rs.
Now thinner sheet means additional
labor and expense in rolling, and sheets
thin enough for tin plates are ever at
higher prices than the above. More
over, all the best grades of plates, ex-
cept roofing tin, are now made from
steel sheets, and it is therefore the
second of the above columns which
principally concerns the American
manufacturer. These Sheets too, must
undergo an operation called picking
before they are to be dipped in tin.
The third column, that for galvanized
iron, is given in the above table, since
this is product somewhat similar
to tin plate, only being covered with
zinc in place of tin But zinc costs less
than one-third the price of tin, and this
difference must further be taken into
consideration in the comparison here
made. Even with this difference in ia
vor of the galvanized iron men it is
seen above that they have been charg-
ing 2.SS cents pound more for thin
galvanized iron than the tin plate max
ers get for their product.
In the light of these facts tin plate
cannot be msde here, even under the
Mckinley duty, unless the sheet steel
makers offer their sheets at very much
lower prices. Vice-President Wiegand,
of the Neidringhaus company in st.
Louis, whose concern has been making
a little tin plate for exhibition pur-
poses at republican banquets and con-
ventions, has recently confessed in
public interview that the Mckinley
duty is too slow. He claimed that
duty of AZ cents a pound would be
necessary to establish the tin plate sin
FAINT" as it costs two cents pound to
coat steel sheets with tin.
He seems to be right, but what will
the consumers say when they foot the
bill of Sl5,0OO,0O0 year for our tin
plate experiments?

GROWTH OF THE ARGENTINE.

A statistical summary of the growth

TARIFF MAKING IN FRANCE.

How That Country is Copying Mckinley
ism-Higher Duties on American Farm
Products-Our Own McKinleyism Re
sponsible Large Trade With France.
The tariff bill which has been agi-
tating France for some months has
finally reached the stage in the cham
ber of deputies where amendments are
offered and voted upon; and some of
the amendments recently adoped are of
no little interest to our farmers.
The French have a somewhat pecu-
liar method of procedure in tariff max
ing First the government fixed up
provisional bill with the duties which
it would recommend to the legislative
power for approval This preliminary
measure was submitted last fall to a
large joint commission of the senate
and chamber of deputies. All winter
long this committee was pothering and
tinkering away at the governments bill,
raising the duties recommended by it
in nearly all cases But now that the
bill has gotten to the amendment stage
in the chamber that body is showing it.
self to be infested with the disease of
McKinleyism to an even greater extent
than the joint committee itself.
American farmers will be interested
TO know how French McKinleyism is
hitting some of their products. Last
year we exported to France 1915, 900
pounds of canned beef. In its prelimi-
nary bill the French government pro-
posed to make the duty on this 70 cents
per 100 pounds, but the tariff commits
sion raised the duty to sl.75, and this
latter figure was adopted by the cham
Der.
On salted beef and pork, of which we
exported $50, 900 pounds to France last
year, the old duty was rs cents per 100
pounds The new duty proposed by
the government was S1.97 on beef, but
the commission raised it to $3.50, and
It was so voted by the chamber. The
government wanted duty of sl.05 on
salted pork, but maximum duty OF
81. 10 wss voted by the deputies.
Duties on lard and tallow will be an
nounced In due time, the chamber hav-
ing apparently notyet acted upon these.
Both are on the free list now; but the
commission recommended duty of
si.0o on lard, as well as duty on tai
low. Our exports Of these two articles
TO France increased greatly last year
over those Of 1889, tallow reaching A.
100000 pounds and lard $4,000, 0oo
pounds

COUNTING THE COST.

Figures For Our New Tin Plate Industry
Our Sheet Iron Costs More Than Welsh
Tin Plate-A Higher Tin Plate Duty
Needed-A Gloomy Outlook For the In
dustry.
We are told on high authority that
wise man, before building tower. will
sit down first and count the cost.
If our political tin plate makers, that
are to be, had done like they would
not have been filing the air for year
or more with their extravagant prom
ises that we can make tin plates and
sell them in America at lower prices
than in Wales.
Unless our makers of sheet iron and
steel have aeen squeezing the most
exorbitant prices out of the consumers
during the past ten years, it may be
confidently stated that tin plates can
not be made in America and sold at
profit in competition with Welsh plates,
even with the addition of the Mckinley
duty Of az cents apound to the price.
Tin plates are made of very thin
sheets of iron or steel dipped in molten
tin, the latter forming only about five
per cent of the weight of the finished
sheets. Now the fatal fact which
hangs gloomily over our newborn tin
plate industry is that our sheet iron
and steel have themselves ranged con-
siderably higher in price during the
past ten years than the finished tin
plates made in Wales.
The following table shows how prices
compared during the years from 1881 to
1890 inclusive. The first column gives
Philadelphia prices for common sheet
iron, the second Chicago prices for re-
fined sheet steel, the third the price of
galvanized sheet iron covered with
zinc), and the fourth the price of i'm
ported tin plate at New York, not in
cluding the duty. The prices are given
in cents per pound:
