WHO PANS THE TARIFF TAX,

How the Plate Glass Combination Fixes
Prices.
Next to the duties on window glass,
those on polished plate glass are the
highest in the Mckinley tariff
In his speech at the Home Market club
dinner. a short time ago, Major McKin-
ley repeated the sentence which he has
used in all his public utterances, namely,
that the tariff cannot possibly be bur
den 10 the people of this country, for,
said he, "the foreigner pays the tariff
tax, YOU don't" Let us see whether the
facts bear out this assertion.
In 1890 our imports of polished plate
glass, unsilvered, were as follows:

We produce each year in the United
States about 10,000,000 square feet of
polished plate glass. Our imports
amount to less than 5000, 900 square
feet.
The production of sizes smaller than
"a by 80 inches is only incidental. Man
ufacturers roll only the larger sizes,
the smaller plates being by-product
made from defective or broken large
plates. The demand for these small
sizes mas been greater than the supply,
hence considerable quantities are i'm
portet to be used in making small mir
rors, office counters, etc. The manu-
facturers care only for the sizes of glass
above "a by so inches, and the duties on
these sizes measure the protection which
they get from the tariff.
The following shows the net whole
sale prices of the larger sizes in France
from which our imports come and in
the United States:

This shows clearly that the plate glass
combination in the United States get
out OF the tariff all the bonus it allows.
The reason why they do not collect the
full amount of the duty above the for
eign price is because their own glass is
inferior to the foreign
This explains the enormous profits
which the combination of plate glass
manufacturers make. Nothing will illus
trate this better than the history of on
of the largest concerns, the PittSburg
Plate Glass company. Eight years ago
this company built its first plant at
Creighton, Pa; FIVE years later if erected
second plant at Tarentum. In 1888 j.
b. Ford, large stakeholder in the COM
pany, built a plant at Ford City, and sold
it to the Pittsburg Plate Glass company
for 81, 500, 900, one-half of the payment
to be made in bonds and the rest in
stock at par. Trouble arose at once. for
the other stockholders objected to the
payment of $3.50, 900 in stock at its par
value only, since the company's stock
was 100 per cent. above par in the open
market.
The original capital of the company
was 500, 200, which was later increased
to $2,000, 900, and when the Ford CITY
works were purchased TO 81, 750, 900. In
spite o. this constant increase i'll CAPT
talizat on the stock is now worth 5000
per share on a par value of 800. Last
year dividend of 81 per cent was de-
clared.
In no industry requiring skilled labor
are lower wages paid than in that of
plate ass. Just so long as the tariff
continues as high as it is, just so long
Will the combination to fix prices and
keep down the wages of labor continue.
They will not share the tariff bonus
with their workmen, over whom they
have complete control. If men will not
