Sugar and Tin,

The tariff was taken off sugar be-
cause we did not make enough of it,
and the tariff was doubled on tin so
that we could make some of it. There's
logic! We do produce large amount
of purely American sugar, but there Is
not pound of American tin plate on
the market and never has been, al
though it has. been taxed ever since
1sl6-seventy-five years. If the tariff
on sugar, of which we make large
quantities, was an unjustifable tax on
the American people because we did
not make quite enough, how are we to
cha-a.terize the tariff ON tin plate, of
vaich we make none at all? Does it
not follow that it must be still greater
and more distinct and unjustifiable
tax on the American peorlef
Yet, the American consumer must
fork over sl6. 600, COO per year tin sax
and about s1o 900. 900 for sugar bounty,
or SO. 900, 900 in all, for the fun CT see.

WHAT FREE HIDES HAVE DONE.
Free Hides Have Put the Leather Indus
try on q Solid Foundation.

Free Hides Have Put the Leather Indus
try Solid Foundation.
A wholesome economic lesson is
taught by the history of the effects OF
admitting hides into this country free
of duty. It would naturally be sup
posed that with our variety of soil anc
climate we could provide all the kinds
of leather needed from domestic hides,
and that while we might profit from free
raw materials in many industries, in this
particular one the benefits would be
small. In 1872 hides Except those with
wool on) were put on the free list. Of
course there was then much growing
by one-sided theorists, who saw only
the imaginary injury that would be
done to some domestic industries. The
experiment of giving the leather indus
tries free raw materials was eminently
successful. 1t pat new life into the
leather glove business, which in 1871
was dragging along a precarious ex
istence 1t decreased our glove inn
ports from S4, $50, 167 in 1872. to $3, $50,
625 in 1873, and to So, 3,3i4,65 in 1874
In 1872 there were in Fulton county,
n. Y. the center of the glove industry
less than half a dozen small leather
dressing establishments. In 1890 there
were 200 of these establishments en-
ploying 5000 men. Mr.. d. B. Judson,
who has manufactured more gloves
than any other man in America, said
"free hides are air, light, food drink
to Fulton county and the glove and
leather-dressing industries. This last
industry. right here in Fulton county,
has revolutionized the shoe business of
the world" It is fact that we make
shoes cheaper than they are made any
where else, and in greater variety.
The injury to domestic industries has
never been manifest Our exports of
leather have increased greatly since1s72
Mckinley in 1890 proposed to put duty
on hides again. 1t is not quite certain
why he did this. Some say it was to
give little more bogus protection to
the farmers and stock growers; others
that it was to aid the reciprocity scheme
and was to be used to bluff some of our
southern neighbors. 1t is more likely
that it was to help Armour and the
other mem bers of the big four who
constitute the dressed beef com bine
and who would profit by scarcity of
hides Such howl went up from New
England and the east that Mckinley
was compelled to put hides back into
the free list.
If the benefits of free raw materials
are SO extensive and sc manifest in this
case, they would be far more SO in
cases where we cannot produce, in this
country, the raw materials needed

The WAGES THEY PAY.

What Wages the Massachusetts Cotton
Mills Are Paying Under Protection.
Badly informed advocates OF high
tariff taxation having challenged the
correctness of figures of wages paid in
the cotton mills of Massachusetts and
recently given in the Repu bile, we are
requested to repeat them with the
authority. Here they are, classified for
157 Massachusetts cotton factories in
1890:
At weekly wages under s5.-.............19.42 S.. AL
AT weekly wages %, but under $G--..-. l65
At weekly wages s.. but under S...... ..1s,lss
Total number of employees at less than
Ia week. .43. 7l9
This is ont OF a total of II, 965 OF all
employed in the 157 mills This table
gives additional data OF wages in the
same establishments:
AT weekly wages 81, but under IS. S.........9. las
AT weekly wages IS. but under s9.........5,92S
At weekly wages 50 but under s10........ 5,s20
at weekly wages over 10, but un Ter 2o,.T.36)
At weekly wages $40 and over. 493
Total employees at 81 a week and over. Is. 2t6
So in this protected industry, en-
ploying 1866 persons in Massachu-
sets, 43, 7l9, or over n per cent. of the
whole, receive less than 81 a week.
These figures may be found on page
147 of ''The Annual Statistics of Manu-
factures" for Massachusetts,, issued
officially by the state from the office of
its state printer, Is Post Office squa re,
Boston, 1891.
On page 161 of the same volume is
given a table of wages paid in all man
ufacturing esta ablishments of the state
hn fnll
ing is condensed:
At weeHly wages less than .134.2s7
At weekly wages of s.. but under S.. 80. 793
At weekly wages of IS and over. $40
Total employed in all indus ries. ;. 2s7 $50
So that while 134 2S7 of these PRO
tected'' workers receive less than 81 a
week, only 1872, $40 of them receive So
and over.
According to the table given on page
92S of the tentn census compendium,
the average weekly wages paid in the
manufacturing industries of Massachu-
setts in the census year was 81 (S7.005)
The figures of the state census of
1890, as well as the federal census,
were furnished by the protected cor
porations themselves, and it is not
likely that they have underestima
the wages paid by them. Nor is it to
be forgotten that all salaries are added
into the pay account to make up the
average. The salary of S400 a week
paid the president and general manager
of the corporation adds on to the salary
of the employe at IS week and under
to make the s'average wages for all
employed"-an average that would be
reached for these two by this process:
Weekly wage of president and gen.
eral manager. ........................S 400 90
Weekly wages of s5 5employe............ s 90

all with a look of keen satisfaction on their

The mammoth show windows were
prettily illuminated, and filled with mu-

and other emblems OF art and nature lastly

metropolitan looking store in town.

OTHER DEATHS YESTERDAY.

Another regretable death yesterday was
that of Mr. Charles G. Flaccus, junior
member of the firm of Flaccus Bros, who
died at his residence on Eleventh street

illness of about three weeks. Typhoid
fever was the cause. Mr.. Flaccus was
only married about fifteen months ago, his
wife being Kate, daughter of the late f. G.
Wingerter, and this makes his demise
peculiarly sad. Mr.. Flaccus was widely
known and esteemed, was business man
of decided ability, and was possessed OF
many admirable traits.
