Our Precious Tariff.

The Canadian newspaper Hardware,
published at Toronto, has an editorial
article, under date July Is. discussing
the reasons why American pig lead is
sold in Montreal at $500 to 1915 per
cwt., while the price of the same ar
ticle in New York is 81 40 to S4.45.
1t relates the experience of a Canadian
in New York, who asked the price
of pig lead of firm of metal dealers
and received the answer, $40. The
Montrealer replied. 81 will sell you
American lead in Montreal at 1915
as an outside figure" and he added,
"You could have knocked them down
with a feather" The reason why
American lead is sold to foreigners
cheaper than to Americans is that we
have a precious tariff for the protec-
ton Of home industry which puts a
duty of two cents per pound on pig
lead. This enables the producers to
charge the American consumer more
for it than they could otherwise get
So of course they can afford to sell to
Canadians for less. 1t is all very
simple. The same thing is done with
hundreds of other articles.-New
York Evening Post.

The Census Bulletin on the gold and
silver production of the country for
the year 1889 shows the interesting
fact that more than twice as much in
value of silver was produced as Of gold.
1t also shows incidentally that the
amount of silver the Government
is now authorized to purchase as basis
for the issue of Treasury notes, namely,
100000 ounces per month, exceeds
for a year the annual product of the
mines of the country, which is put at
81 ,354,851 ounces for the census year.
Of course, large amount of silver is
constantly used in manufacturing and
the arts, and if the amount of silver
bullion offered to the Treasury were to
equal the maximum that it is directed
to purchase in case it is offered, con-
siderable amount Of it would have to
come from foreign sources. While the
silver product of the country is more
than twice that of gold, it is much
larger proportion of the worlds supply
than is our product of gold. We pro-
duce Al per cent. of all the silver AND
only % per cent. of the gold The
statistics show that the gold and silver
mining industry of the country is both
well paid and productive, but this
takes no account of the labor and
capital applied to non.productive
mines.-N. Y. Times.

Big Crops and Little Money.

Enough of good thing is enough,
and too much is sometimes almost as
bad as famine. This is truth that
the South may realize this year in q
way it has not done since the big cot
ton crops for two or three years just
preceding the war made hard times
throughout the cotton belt.
The cotton crop made last year was
by all odds the largest ever produced,
and the price has already gone to or
below the cost of production. More
than 100000 bales of this enormous
crop will 90 over for next years con-
sumption, and the prospect at present
is that the growing crop will equal or
exceed last years yield. Of course,
much depends upon the weather be-
tween now and Christmas; for il
autumn should set in early with cold
and rain the loss of the late picking
would materially reduce the crop.

Don't Crowd.

No matter what space you have
in local papers, don't fill it so that
it looks crowded. A handful of
sand thrown at wall will make no
mark; a single small pebble will
leave some impression. A lot of
small type does not catch the eye
nearly so quick as single word in
bold, black caps. Be careful to
make that word strong and attrac-
tive. Two or three short, sharp,
crisp sentences, each embodying
some qualities or pointers about
your leaders, and you have written
quite enough. Don't say your
goods are dirt cheap, or that you
are selling at loss, and don't decry
the goods of your rivals. Intelli-
gent people won't believe the first
statement, and certainly won't APP
prove of the latter.-Printers' Ink.

1t seems to usthat there is no device
so effectual for this purpose as a sub
stantial tax upon immigration that
would amount to property qualifica-
ton. We still cannot afford to do
without the men who come to this
country for the purpose of making
themselves homes and cultivating the
soil, and there are still vast tracts Of
waste land waiting to be taken up by
such settlers, which, if they are not
now to be had upon such easy terms
as they were to be obtained upon for
merly, are yet to be had upon far east
err terms than any land elsewhere in
countries that offer anything like the
other advantages of this. The "bona
fide settler" could afford to pay some
thing considerable for these advan-
tages, especially as the passage money
to the United States is very much less,
from most parts of Europe, than to
any other country that can be said to
compete with this in attractiveness to
immigrants. The head of family
who is a man of energy and thrift
could very well afford to pay over to
the United States a sum, for every
member of his family, at least equal to
the passage money for the privilege of
coming here. The payment would be
proof of his possession of the qualities
that made him desirable as a settler
and citizen. Since the object OF
levying such a tax would not be ia
raise revenue, but to sift immigration
it might very well be provided that
the tax should be treated as a deposit
and returned to the depositor after a
term of years, say, when he became q
citizen of the United States.-N. Y
Times.

industry Of Iowa is, and must continue
to be, agriculture, upon the successful
prosecution of which all the business
in the State is largely dependent. In
no possible manner can this industry
be benefited by our present tarif'laws.
For many years our people have been
unnecessarily subjected to system OF
legalized extortion that has restricted
our market and diminished the price
of almost everything we sell, and in
creased the cost of very much that we
buy. We have submitted to this
wrong until, in seasons of ordinary
plenty, the products of the soil, al
though bountiful beyond any other
country of the globe, are by reason of
their depressed market value INSULT
cient to compensate the farmer for his
laborin producing them. With united
voice the great West is now laundering
in the ears of those who have preyed
upon her resources so long its demand
for relief in this struggle for the eman-
cipation ola class to which most of ours
people belong.
Iowa Democrats are to-day at the
front secure in their position, because
they are right; they are destined to
act an important part in establishing
reform in our Government that shall
bring il back to an economical ad-
of its affairs, blot from
our statutes every vestige of law that,
of the necessities of the
Government, is made in the interest of
the individual or classes, as distin-
guished from the people at large, and
establish as one of its fundamental
principles as enduring as the Nation
itself, the doctrine without which re-
publics cannot endure, that the right
Of taxation is limited to public needs
alone, and can never be exercised to
promote the welfare of one class at
the expense of another.-Gov. Boies,
Of Iowa.

But If the season should prove nor
NAL and present indications be full
filled it will take some wholly unfore-
seen event to save the cotton-growers
from disaster. They will have lots of
cotton, every bale Of which, at current
prices will have been produced at a
loss or at the narrowest margin above
cost. A year later it may be worth
twice as much; but for nine out of
every ten cotton farmers this possibility
will possess no interest. The only
prices that will concern them will be
those prevailing between October and
February.
The outlook for the wheat-growers
is better. They have made good crops,
for which better European demand
is indicated than for some years past.
But there is no famine in Europe. and
while the big American harvest is COM
ing forward the pressure to sell may
keep prices considerably below what
they should be late in the fall. Just
now wheat on Kansas farms does
not sell for more than 10 cents bush
ell. There isn't enough in that to pay
off mortgages nor to fulfil the glowing
promises that cheerful Republican
editors have been making to the
Changers on the strength of the abund-
ant harvests.
The effect of these big crops of cot
ton and grain, with short crops of mon
ey in the farmers pockets, will be an
interesting thing to observe. Politi-
cally, the situation does not promise,
we'll for the Republican statesman who
claim that the big crops were sent on
account of their influence with Provid-
ence. With little money the margin
of tax the farmers must pay to pro-
tected monopolists on account of Nc
Kinley is apt to be closely scrutinized.
The result may be another landslide
that will bury the party of robber
tariffs and financial monopolists out of
sight forever.-St. Louis Republic.

Must Have a Profit"

The tariff is grossly guilty in both
respects. 1t puts the chief burden of
supporting the Federal Government
and our late Billion-Dollar Congress
shows that it requires, yearly, one
third part of all the money in the
country to support the Government
it puts that burden chiefly on those
who work for their daily bread, and
sparingly on those who own the ac-
cumulated property of the country.
But its greatest wrong is that it costs
those who thus bear its chief burden
two or three times more than the great
sum it carries into the Federal Treas.
ury. Its taxes are not laid for the
purpose of getting revenue, enormous
as the demand for revenue now is, but
primarily for the purpose of protect
ing" small part of the home produc-
ers, by raising the price of what they
make to sell to all the rest of the peo-
pie. 1t accomplishes this result by
putting heavy fine, if possible pro-
hibitory fine, on all articles brought
from abroad that might compete, for
the custom of the American people,
with the articles this small class make.
In other words, while nine out of ten
of the people must take all the chances
and all the risks of home and foreign
markets, the strongest power of the
Government, its taxing power, is put
behind great capitalists that their bus
mess may prosper beyond all contin-
gencies and their dividends may be
piled up, no matter how much others
may lack them.
Manufacturers must'have profit"
said Major Mckinley in speech to
an applauding throng of them at re-
cent banquet of the American Protec-
tive Tariff League in New York I;
"they will not risk their capital with
out reasonable assurance of profit"
The farmer must risk his little cap
ital and labor. So must the great
body of American producers. The
mechanic and the works. gman must
risk his labor; and whether they fail or
succeed, make profit or loss in the
great struggle, Major Mckinley is not
concerned for their fate. But when
the rich and the strong enter the are
ma with their capital, he becomes at
once terribly excited and shouts that
they "must have profit" and forth
with puts the United States Treasury
behind them as a guarantee fund and
the United States Government as an
insurer.
Shall the taxing power of the Unit.
ed States Government be the possess
sion of the people of this continent, its
tremendous machinery put in motion
for their use and benefit only, or shall
that power be handed over as the pri.
vate property of a few hundred, or, at
best, a few thousand great manufact-
urers, its tremendous machinery put
in motion chiefly for their enrichment,
because, whatever befall the rest of
us, they "must have profit Con

the necessary capital for development
could not be obtained.
There will always be good market
for tin in this country, whether to
make tin plate in commercial quanti-
ties or not. As we have said, we i'm
port about 10000 gross tons year.
The quantity imported in each of the
years 1889 and 1890 was about Is, 500
tons. 1t is used in many ways-large-
ly as an alloy in the metallic base of
silver-plated wares. The quantity
already imported every year in pigs
and bars is so per cent. greater than
the quantity that is carried on the iron
or steel sheets which come in as tin
plate.
1t will be seen that if the expecta.
tons of the owners of the Temescal
deposits shall be realized, the tin-min-
ing industry will have ceased to be
an infant in the summer of 1898, when
it is provided in the Mckinley act that
tax shall be imposed for the protec-
ton of it. That paragraph is one of
the most curious features of the Nc
Kinley tariff. 1t seems to have been
put in at the suggestion of persons in
terested in the ore deposits in Dakota,
whose operations thus far haye been
carried on for the most part in certain
While the industry is
an infant it is to have no protective
duty, but if it shall pass safely through
the perils of infancy and shall become
sturdy and independent, then it is to
be coddled and nursed and propped up
by tariff tax. But it has no tariff
now. 1t begins its existence
without cost to the people of the United
States. 1t has not required them to
pay So,OOO,OOO for the experiments in
San Bernardino county, which is the
cost thus far of the experiments of
Niedringhaus and two or three others
in the tin-plate business. We shall
watch the progress of this industry
with much interest, and we hope 10 see
the quantity of American tin steadily
and rapidly increasing in the market.
