Northwestern road was unjustifable. The decision
Of the Council was against them. They are arrogant
They first kicked on the discharge of Lindsay then
ingalls, now McInemey. We cannot be dominated by
them any longer"
Grand Master Sweeney, Of the switchmen, said :;
action Of the Council the most Infamous that
took place in labor circles. 1t was conspiracy
between the Northwestern Railroad Company and sar-
gent and Wilkinson to do up the switchmen 1t was
an outrage VIII we fight Did you ever know time
a switchman would not fghtl Wait until you hear
from our Grand Lodge?" II is feared now that the

THE CONsUAfER PAYS TT

A prOtectlOnist organ finds an evil
denee that the shipper or manufacturer
pays the duty on tin in the fact that the
increase in cost OF box of tin plate over
that of two years ago is but % cents,
while the added duty amounts to 81. 26
per box. The argument looks plausi-
bic, but an examination of the facts
shows its Shallowness. Two years ago
there were enormous importations of
tin plate in anticipation of the MCKIN-
LEY duties. The importers all wanted
to take advantage Of the rise in prices to
be caused by the tariff. Stocks were
laid in greatly in excess of immediate
consumption. When the higher duties
became operative the American de-
mand fell off, and prices in Wales
decreased. The stagnation in trade sent
prices much below the ordinary level.
They continue lower than they were
before the tariff legislation. 1t is con-
ceded that for 4 time injury is had to
the foreign manufacture. But it re-
mains true that the American consumer
pays for his tinware the prices in Great
Britain with the full duty added. If
there is any tin plate manufactured in
