About five years ago company with
a capital of S75, 600 was organized In an
American city to manufacture lamp
chimneys, lampware and candy jars.
This company operates its factories only
eleven months in the year, yet it has
declared dividends of 20 per cent. every
year. besides laying up in five years

The duty on lamp globes, shades and
chimneys of glass in the old tariff was
40 to 45 per cent. Mckinley raises these
duties to 60 per cent. These articles
are n part of the manufactures OF the
great flint glass industry, Of which
there are some thirty or forty factories
in the country.
There-is another chapter to this story.
A recent dispatch from Pittsburgh. Pa,
reports that the flint glass manufacture
ers of that city as saying that over 30
per cent. of all the producing capacity
of the country has been bought up by a
flint glass syndicate.
1t is the same old tariff story over
again. A highly prosperous industry
goes TO Washington and talks ABOUT
foreign competition, cheap pauper labor
and similar rot; it asks for higher du.
ties and gets the n; then comes the final
act to the comedy-a trust is formed to
robble up the spoils of McKinleyism.

The Mississippi river at Memphis,
Tenn, Sunday night measured 33 feet
inches, or nine inches below the dan.
ger line, and is rising at the rate Of four
or five inches daily. The total rise at
that point in the last three weeks has
been sixteen feet. The river is higher
at Memphis, com paratvely speaking,
than at points above and below, owing
to the railroad embankments in ArkanA
sas, opposite the city which
hold up the water. For that reason
last year the gauge at Memphis
showed the highest water on record
which was not the case elsewhere. The
river is beginning to overflow the low
banks on the western side below Cairo
and low places in the st. Francis river
basin are filling up, but the gauge at

The arnble lands in that region have
still about five feet to spare, and tho
people are not apprehcnsive as yet.
Most of them have built mounds to
place their live stock upon in case of an

The Ouinine Trade.

A war tariff on quinine enabled a
Philadelphia firm to pocket $4,000, 900
in profits 1t retailed at S4 per ounce
and it required two bushels of wheat,
at war prices to purchase one ounce of
quinine. Very little quinine was i'm
ported and the Philadelphia manufact-
urers had monopoly, and right royal
ly availcd themselves of their protected
privileges The pressure became SO
great that the tariff was removed and
the retail price of quinine dropped to u
cents per ounce retail, and even at this
price the Philadelphia firm did moi
abandon the manufacture but found II
profitable. When it reached this poin,
one bushel of wheat would purchase an
ounce of quinine, Now, it is said New
York parties propose to produce quinin'
that can be retailcd for % to 80 cent
per ounce, aud still compete with thu
pauper labor Of Europe. At this prize

low market, win purchase three ounce

Getting Ready for Cheap Sugar.



Francisco to the following effect
Fully 2O,OOO tons of bonded Java sugar
lie in the warehouses on Mission Rock on
the San Francisco Bay. 1t is the property OF
Claus spreckles and will be held there till
April /, when, under the provisions of the
Mckinley bill 1t will be admitted Into tho
country duty free, and when the consump-
tion of sugar in this country Will so greatly
increase as to make Mr.. Spreckels' anticipa-
tory "corner" immensely profitable.
In other words, the sugar tariff is a
tax, the removal of which will result
in cheeper surar to the people and in a
year. Spreckels KNOWS Jne uarIn Is
tax, and he finds it to his advantage to
have a vast quantity of sugar in the
Government warehouses ready for his
refneries on the first day that the tax
is removed.
sugar has already begun to decline
in price: and when all the people OF
the country buy their sugar at least two
cents below the price under the new
tariff, will there remain one man in all
this broad land so stupid as to ask still
whether the tariff is tax?
A Philad elphia paper states that
whereas granulated sugar is now sell
ING at Ga cents pound, contracts have
already been made in that city for

People Who Believe That the Tariff Raises
Wages May Find Out Their Mistake.

People Who Believe That the Tariff Efsises
Wages May Find Out Their Mistake.
People who still believe that the tariff
raises wages ought to keep their eyes
open now; for these are very interesting
days in which to learn lessons in tariffs
and wages. The papers are full of re.
ports of cases where wages have been
reduced in protected industries which
got fresh dose of protection from DIR,
Mckinley.
An interesting case is that of the re-
duction of wages and the consequent.
strike in the potteries of Trenton, N. J.
Additional interest is given to this case
from the fact that the increased protec-
ton given to this industry in 1888 was
followed in two years by reduction OF
wages The recent laying on of higher
duty and reduction of wages following
soon after reads like twice told tale.
The first telling of this story took
place before the Mckinley committee
last winter. Mr.. Moses, one of those
pottery manufacturers of Trenton, N.
j., was the man who told the story.
The following extracts from his testi-
mony will show how Mr.. Carlisle drew
the truth from the reluctant Moses:
Mr.. Cariisle--Ii answer to question by
Governor Gear, you said that If the Mills bill
had passed, in your opinion you would have
been compelled either to close up your es
tablishment or to reduce wages. Is it not q
fact that shortly after the passage OF the act
of 1853, which Increased the duties, you re-
duced wages at Trentons
Mr. Moses-No, sir.
Mr. Carlsle-They have never been re-
duced since 1883?
submitted to by the men themselves, owing
to the reduction made in the price of goods.
From 1873 to 1855 there was no reduction OF
any kind, although the price of goods had
| been gradually going down. In 1885, about
| the first of January, we called our men to-
gether and held a consultation, and We
| showed that there was a necessity for a re-
| ductlOn of wages.
| Mr. Carlisle--That was less than two years
after the act OF 1888 took effect. In about
two years after that you found you were not
able to pay the same wages as you did be.
| fore that act was passed.
| Mr.. Moses-Ycs, sir, that is true, because
the foreign goods of all classes were thrown
| into our market. Prices of goods fell in tho
| foreign market.
And now for the second telling of the
story. This shall also be from a pro-
tectionist authority. Here is the story
as made up of two paragraphs from the
same column of that highest of high
tariff organs, the Boston Commercial
| Bulletin:
| The pottery manufacturers of Trenton, N.
j., have submitted q schedule of wages to
the sanitary ware pressers which means
reduction Of 1918 per cent
Nearly 400 potters are on strike in Trenton,
| n. j., because of the decision to reject the
reduction of wages proposed by the manu-.
factuTers. The men were willing to continue
work Mt the old scale pending further inves-
| tigatlon, but the bosses insisted that the new
list was to 90 into effect, and the men quit
