A Dead Loss,

The standing bids for American tin plate are still unanswered, as the entire output" seems to be required to supply the Republican campaign committees with badges which all sensible people are ashamed to wear In the meantime the canning business is being very seri- ous cramped. Before the tax on tin plate was increased, small canning fac tories were beginning to spring up through the West, relying on neighbor- hood supply of fruits and vegetables, and making living profit both for them. selves and the farmers. The business, of course, depends wholly on having tin cans plentiful and cheap. Otherwise these small factories cannot preserve the food at profit. and it Is left to rot in the fields The farmers of Howard county, Indiana, had such canning factory at kokomo, as a nome market" for their surplus vegetables, but the Mckinley bill forced an advance of over % per cent in the price of cans The result is the denoralzation of this new industry, which was one of the few the East could not take from the West "lhe farmers of Howard county planted hundred of acres of tomatoes, |" says the kokomo Dispatch. "The crop is excellent and every grower stood to realize from S35 to SlO0 per acre There is no chance of this now To-day the kokomo Canning Works re- fused to receive another bushel of the vegetable for an indefinite time The reason given is that cans for packing the tomatoes cannot be had. Thousands of bushels are rotting in the yards at the works Tons upon tons are decay ing in the fields. The loss to Howard County farmers cannot be counted in less than five figures. No wonder they are asking for the whereabouts of the infant tin industries '"
 The loss here is dead loss The tin plate combine does not gain it. They get their profit under the tax in other diree- tions Here this food, which under fair trade would have been marketed to feed the poor of the cities, is lost to them, and the labor required for it's production is likewise lost Where plenty is created as natural result of labor and trade. artificial scarcity is produced by the tax on trade. The result is dead loss, in this case as in every case of taxation levied to produce artificial scarcity.- St Louis Republic

The Tarin Is g Tnx.

In a recent speech which he delivered ia Ohio Major Mckinley said: "Dun't you be ieve those wicked Democrats when they tell you that the tariff is a tax. The foreigner pays it; you don't ? And then without proving his assert on, he asked. "How, then, can the tariff be burden to the people of this country?"
 When Major Mckin ey was in Congress he was the special representative Of the pottery and glass trust, which had many factories located in his district During the tariff debates he always had lot of chinaware upon his desk. to show his fellow Congressmen and the visitors In the galleries that his desk was the stand and he the champion of the pottery combines
 It is to be presumed, therefore, that when Mckinley says the foreign manu- fa1 turers. and not the consumers in the United States, pay the tariff tax, he has in mind that upon crockery ware, with which he claims to be thoroughly conyer- sant Such being the case, he cannot dodge the following facts, since they deal with his own particular hobby. The time is past when mere assertions of general principles regarding the tariff, no matter by whom made, will be taken as gospel truth They must be backed up by facts
 For over thirty years we have had very light duties upon crockery and earthenware. During this period com pines have been formed among the man. ufacturers on the one hand to kesp up prices and on the other to cut down the wages Of the workmcn employed in their factories.
 These pottery combines charge for their goods all that the tariff will allow, as is shown in the following table, which gives for first quality white granite ware the net who esale prices as charged by the East Liverpool and Trenton manu- facturers in this country and by the pot tery manufacturers in England, from which the greater part of our imports come. The pr.ces given are absolutely correct, being taken in each instance from the pr.ce lists and discount sheets.
 In the table the first column show the foreign price per dozen, the second the American price, the third the amount which the American price exceeds the foreign price, and the fourth the amount of duties charged on the foreign ware when imported into the United states.

Oysters, as is probably we'll known, are denizens of salt water. says the Detroit Free Press and when first caught are not possessed of that tooth some flavor that makes them so at tractive to the majority of mankind. To render them fit for the consumers they are first picked over sorted out and freed from the mud and slimy de- posits that cling to them after being removed from their beds Then they are placed for d few hours in water considerably ffesher than that from which they were taken-or. as the fishermen put it. they are given q drink. The apparatus upon which they are freshened is, in the majority of instances, merely a wooden plat form or float" set in the bank of the creek or other stream selected for the purpose, in such a manner that the water will wash over it from sluice- ways, which are opened at low tide.
 In some localities quite elaborate platforms are constructed upon piling. at proper level below high water mark. 4 light shed, of varying di- mensions. is built over this and a canal large enough to admit of the passage of small boat, is dug on one side of the shed. On the other side of the structure are floors or stages above the reach of the water, where the biyalves are piled after freshening ana then packed for shipment When ihe tide goes down the oysters are left upon the platform inside the shed with a shallow covering of water. which is kept from escaping by a board about ten inches in depth, l placed Ut the end of the shed nearest the water. By means of cleverly arranged sluices, the fresh water is admitted. the oysters open. and all the mud and other impurities escape. Generally speaking, they are suffi- cientlY freshened in the course of three or four sometimes a shorter time suffices.
 This change of water improves their color. making it purer white. and their forms assume that appetizing plumpness so dear to the heart Of an epicure. The ordinary individual imagines that this bloated appearance is an indication of an increase in the substance and weight of an oyster. bat in reality it is merely putting up that naturally follows the change from their usual beverage of salt water. that element having tendency to shrivel them up, as it does ones hands er ] feet

One Result of Protection.

@I have the authority of the American Economist the organ of the Protective Tariff Leaguel that in 1889 the number of people in the United States who owned their own homes had in twenty five years fallen from fiye-eighths to three cighths. How long will it take them to fall to one eighth or one-thou- sandth? History is not without lessons in this regard. and I quote from the Progress. published in Boston:
 ".When Egypt went down per cent. of her people owned 97 per cent of her wealth The people were starved to death When Babylon went down per cent of her people owned all of her wealth The people were starved to death When Persia went down l Ter cent of her population owned all the land When Rome went down SOC men owned all the known world
