Oppo sing Its Country's Interests

There is not an article of the produc-
ton and manufacture of foreign coun.
tries on which the Mckinley tariff
would permit Secretary Blaine. to re-
move or reduce the duty in exchange for
like favors in treaties of reciprocity.
All that he could do would be 10 make
the idle menace of restoring the duties
on coffee, tea, sugar and hides bsgalpst
such countries as will not grant favDrs
in trade with the United States -Phla-
delphia Record, August 20.
This is Tip" to foreigners that Se.-
rotary Blaine is playing bluff game
in trying to get from them special favois
for American merchants. ''Do not lie
alarmed by the Mckinley law" tie
Record says to foreign nations. "Mc.
Blaine is only trying to brighten you
into giving us advantages over others in
your markets in return for those you
enjoy in ours. But do not mind him.
We will continue to buy all the goods
you bring us, and will charge you no
duty on them either, no matter how
high your tariff on our products may be.
The retaliatory provision of the McKin-
ley law is a dead letter. So do not let
this shrewd Yankee cajole you into
making any concessions to our mer-
chants"
This is the spirit of the mugmump's
opposition to reciprocity. No one
doubts or attempts to deny that our
people would be immensely benefited il
only our products received special ia
vors in foreign markets. But the grant
ing of such favors is what the tariff
'.reformer" is determined to forestall il
he can. The success of reciprocity
means the triumph OF protection in the
next election. So the ''reformer' does
not hesitate to espouse the cause of the
foreigner against what he knows and
confesses to be the interests of his owr
country.
The most diluted patriotism ought to
suggest at least silence on the part o.
the American citizen while the recipro
city negotiations are in progress, ever
if he believed all the Record says to b,
true. To enter the lists against tn,
representatives of his own country ant
to furnish comfort and counsel to tn,
foreign diplomats, with view to de
priving his fellow citizens of any favor
other nations may be disposed to gran
to them, is little short of reasonable
We know that this course is taken wit
a desire to help the party of free trad
by rendering nugatory perhaps tn
most important features of the McKin
ley law. But to thus place party abov
country and to fight the battle of alien
is little calculated to win favor wit
patriotic citizens.

THE TIN PLATE SITUATION.


The Facts as They Exist-A Load ON Opinion
of What We Are Going to Do--Improyed
Machinery-Better and Cheapse Tin.
ware.
The American Manufactures in an
editorial, says: at is folly for any one
to assert that we are not now making
tin plate, or that in all probability we
will not make in the very near future
much more than the minimum amount
mentioned in the tin plate clause Of the
Mckinley act" 1t then gives the
capacity of mills now at work as $3.50
tons, while works actually in progress
will bring the yearly make up to $4,000
tons. So far most of the mills have de-
cided to build on the modern Welsh
plans and improve them afterward, as
our rolling mills are as good If not bet
ter than the Welsh. These parties will
strive to make improvements in the tin
houses. Others are trying to start
de novo, and by the application Of new
principles substitute machinery for
hand labor.
Our London contemporary, Iron, after
mentioning the feeling in usually we'll
informed circles that if the Mckinley
tariff is allowed to remain in force, the
loss of the American market for British
made tin plates is only a question of
time, and counting up the capacity of
the works now in operation adds:
''But the Yankees are not only going
to make their own tin plates, they are
going to show us how tin plates should
be made. Messrs Norton Bros, of Chi
cago, abiding to their preparations,
write as follows: you would see,' at
their establishment, a small plant Of
the apparatus used for timing by the
English method. We took pains to get
the best machinery used there. Fair
work can be done by it; but we are not
very proud of it, except as an example
to shun. When you see it in operation
you will not think it strange that we
are very confident of our ability to
devise machinery that will do the work
better, and we are already construct
ing machines to work in more Ameri-
can fashion" In these respects our
American cousins may be riding the
high horse somewhat, but is there no
direction il which our tin plate makers
could improve? We think this question
may be worth their consideration.
Abstaining entirely from any predic-
tions as to the future of tin plate,
either in this country or in others, we
wish to ask such of our readers as are
prejudiced against the tin plate clause
in the Mckinley bill If they do not
think, with the manufacturers of two
countries trying to devise improved ma
chinery and processes, we are not like
ly to obtain better and cheaper tin plate
than if the manufacturers of only one
country continued to hold the entire
trade?

Why I Am o Protectionist.

BY HON. J. F. HANSON, OF GEORGIA.
l believe, first-That domestic en-
ployment and production are essential
to national wealth and Independence
Second-That the earning power of
labor measures the purchasing and con-
Stunning power of people, and deter
mines the volume of business, upon
which all classes depend for prosperity.
Third-That the highest wages for
labor consistent with fair returns upon
capital and fair prices for products pro-
notes the greatest national prosperity,
because man earning three dollars q
day has three times the wealth creating
power of a man earning one dollar.
Fourth-That unrestricted foreign
competition would destroy our indus

labor, shrink the volume of internal
trade, deplete our national wealth, en-
rich Europe and ruin us-heuce am /
