The Cost.

Who have not read the walls IN the
opposition press over the increased cost
of tin cans caused by the Mckinley tar
iti? But has the cost increased? Here
is what Norton Bros, large manufac-
turers OF tin cans, say in letter written
and published last week.
We have shipped within the past ten DAYS
more than one hundred carloads Of No and No.
cans. sucf a are used ia canning factories
The No. ; for corn and the No. 8 for peaches and
tomatoes. III prices have in no case exceeded
s. Is per hundred for the No , and 81 90 per
hundred for the No. B. In September 1890 we
were selling the same cans. exactly-or rather.
same kind, size. and Quality-af S3l5 to S. =
per hundred for No. ,. and 81 TO 425 for No. 3,
and these were the regular market prices both
here and in the East, year age.
The free trade shriekers will pay no
attention 70 such facts BY the logic of
free trade, tin cans should have in
creased in price. and therefore, they
aver that they have SO increased. Such
a trifling circumstance as the fact that
tin cans are actually cheaper in the
market must not be allowed to weigh
against the logic Of the free trade

American Tin Plate.
Mil1C0ukee Telegraph.

American tin plate? Certainly, and
within the next two or three years it
will be amply abundant to meet all of
the requirements without the purchase
of pound made in foreign countries by
poorly paid laborers. Already there is
a Milwaukee firm which handles the
Appolo brand of American roofing
plates-W. II. Starkweather & Co. In
circular letter TO patrons and others they
state that these plates are made of the
Apollo decarbonized shee steel and they
pronounce il equal 10 any in the world;
superior to those made abroad in all re-
spects and what must be cheering 10 the
American public is the statement made
by this well known firm that these plates
are sold Tor less money than are those
made in foreign countries. The great
industry of making tin plates is destined
at an early day to give employment to
many thousands of people at good
wages: and all of this has been rendered
possible by the legislation given the
country by the republican party. The
Mckinley law has been doing good all
along the line Long before the Skin
mish for the mighty political battle of
1892 begins the law will have demon
strated to the thinking, honest people of
this country that it was most righteous
piece of legislation. 1t should be added
that these plates, for which the Milwau-
kee firm is the sole agent for Wisconsin,
are American made and everything in
their manufacture is American except
the pig tin used in the coating, which is
the same as imported by the English
makers and from the same places In
spite of these well established facts. and
that there are several other firms max
ing tin plates our democratic friends
will continue to insist that tin plates are
not manufactured in this country and
that it was an outrage TO increase the
duty on foreign made tin plates. But
these falsehoods cannot always blind all
of the people. They may succeed in
fooling some who read only hide-bound
| dishonest deceiying democratic organs.

The opening article OF The CENTURY
for October is the closing one Of Mr..

way of Tobolsk and Tiumen 10 St. Pet

The paper in the Gold Hunting Series
is entitled 'Tarrying in Nicaragua, y
and is record of the California trip in
1o49. as told in letter of the late Roger
s. Baldwin, Jr., one OF a party of Yale
graduates who went to the Pacific by
this route In addition to the flavor of
gold-seeking, it is an attractive account
OF the country itself; the text illustrated,
largely by drawings by Gilbert Gaul,
made in Nicaragua. An allied paper
by Lieutenant Henry X. Lemly of the
army answers the question of its title,
who was FL DoradoP' and corrects a
popular misrepresentation as 10 the
meaning of the word. 1t is very fully
illustrated with drawings and with en-
cravings of much delicacy after objects,
chiefly of gold, from the Ruiz Randall
collections of Chibchan antiquities.
In fiction, there are three short stores

I demanding that the peoples money be
I degraded TO the level of silver for the
/ benefit of few mine owners aud the
supposed benefit Of a rather larger num-
Der OF people who want a cheap dollar
With which to pay their debts.
Judge James q Mcguire. of San Fran
cisco, is a citizen of that kind. Aftervis
It'll incinnati he expresses the opinion
that , Ovenor Campbell and the rest Of
the democrats in Ohio would have done
better if they had openly repudiated the
silver plank in their state platform He
says that this silver plank Is diyerting at
teption from the real issue Of the cam
paign-the tariff-and the diversion is
not doing the democrats any good.
People are beginning TO see" says
Judge Mcguire. 'that free silver coinage
would enrich few meD.and would work
incalculable injury to those who are now
clamOring for il. 1t would mean an in
crease OF 20 per cent in the value of all
uDcoiped silver and a depreciation of 20
per cent in all silver coin. so that the
workingman who thought he had dol
lar in his pocket would find, on trying TO
exchange it for gold. that he had but so
cents" This is fair description of the
successive effects of free silver coinage.
First the metal would 90 up and the
mine owners would be- enriched. Then it
would 90 down, and the workingmen
would find themselves with cheap dol
lars in their pockets.
As to the justice of this Kind of thing,
Judge Mcguire says: 1T is jus IS leg
itimate to give every man who owns one
hundredth of cents worth of green pa
per the right to have it stamped 'one
dollar by the government as to give that
privilege to so cents worth of silver. y
These are remarkably sound views on
the silver question to be expressed by a
Pacific sloper, and especially by a sloper
who is something of politician. Judge
Mcguire IS evidently not politician who
is disposed 20 adapt his conscience and
his convictions to the WISHES of people
with axes to grind and strong political
pull on the crank of the grindstone.

The absurdity Of this statement should
have made every one Of his hearers
laugh aloud. No increase Of duty on
tin plate could possibly occur before
the new tariff went into effect. ard that
was not enforced until July !, !as'. so
that The excess duty must have been
paid between July 1st and Sept. 1st, a
simple matter Of three and half million
a month, nearly double the entire value
of tin plate used in the United States in
that time. One would like to know
how the people could be robbed so with
out knowing it. and where the money
went to.
What are the facts about the price Of
tin plate before and since the new duty
went into effect? On June 3 one month
before the. new tariff took effect the
market quotations az Liverpool were
16s for best l. G. grade. while on Sept.
Sd, tire months after The increase, the
quotations on same market were AS.

while the New York market for same
grade dropped from 1886 to $500.

The following taken from the Ameri-
can Manufacturer of Sept. IS. shows
pretty well how the English view our

the tariff:

that an English syndicate has taken and paid

Why Misrepresented?

Gen. John c. Black, of Illinois, made
a speech at Ottumwa, la, on the first.
1t was Democrat day at The Coal Palace
and ali the faithful in the state were
there. General Black was supposed to
answer Maior McKinley's address, and
did 50 in manner 10 confuse most any
body who would accept nero assertion
for facts He says the foreign manu-
facturer does not pay the tax because
American agents buy the goods abroad.
Well. some times they do. but in a
majority of cases they do not rs the
foreign manufacturer has agents in this
country. but in both instances the for
eign price is sufficiently low to allow
the tariff beng paid, whether directly
by the American importer or not, and
profit being made when sold at
American prices. Take tin plate, which
is the principal point made by the Cen
eral. and compare what the Welsh
manufacturers have to say with the idea
Of their not paving the tax. An inter-
view recently published in the Philadel-
phia Press, with Mr. d. X. Jenkins, of
Lansamet, Wales, sums up the situa-
ton thus:
A box or tin plate should weigh liz pounds.
But as a matter Of fact, in order to make them
appear cheaper, the manufacturers have been
putting only los pounds in box. The former
rate Of duty was cent pound. The new rate
is 90 cents. That means that the Enghsh
manufacturer must sell the plates al a reduction
