A Washington dispatch to the Phila-
delphia Times says:
Congressman T. L. Bunting. of Ham
burg, N Y, was here today on his way
to New York. where be attended meets

in the United States. which was held in
that city yesterday with a view of run

cate some OF the numerous tin plate con-
Germs which the republican papers of
the country are exploiting.
The meeting was entirely nonrpoliti-
cal. Its object was to secure reliable
data concerning the state of the tin plste
industry. Bunting says that year ago
both Major Mckinley and Senator Alli-
son assured q committee of consumers of
tin plate that within a year from Oct G.
1890, when the tariff bill went into eff
feet, 40 American tin plate factories
would be running and turning out all the
tin plate required for consun ption in
this country.

ing, land defy any man 10 find one

duce a little terne plate in Ohio and else
where for political effect, but it is of 8
very poor qnsiity, contains a great deal
of lead ard very little tin. Though it
can be used for roofing. it is not only
absolutely useless, but proven poisonous

Crop Statistics.


The average for potatoes in the gov
eminent report is 94.S; for tobacco, s7.4.
1t has been officially reported that the
wheat crop of North Dakota is about
$4,000, 900 bushels.
State averages for the corn crop are
generally high, especially for the south
ern states. The lowest state averages
are those of Michigan and Wisconsin.
In Statistician Dodge's report small
advance is noted in all the cereal crops
except buckwheat. The general average
is as follows: Corn, Gil; wheat, 96.S;
rye, 95.1; oats, GOT; barley, 94.3; buck
wheat, $3.50.
Plow the oat ground and, unless too
steep, let Jack Frost do the only harrow
ing, sled off the rocks and stumps and
when returning for load carry manure.
Next spring harrow without blowing,
sow the oats and grass and harrow
smooth. A good crop of grain and sure
catch of grass may be depended on, says
The Farm Journal.
According to the department of agri-
culture at Washington. the condition Of
wheat is unusually high. The figures
for the principal wheat growing states
are as follows: Ohio, 50; Michigan, o.;
Indiana, 100; Illinois. 100; Wisconsin,
90; Minnesota. 100; Iowa. 90; Missouri,

The Piano Manufacturers.

Mr.. Alfre1 Dodge took occasion in a
recent issue of the New York World to
say that the Mckinley tariff had in
creased the cost of making piano only
twenty-five cents. Mr.. Dodge is dealer
in piano Supplies and the only manufac-
turer of piano hammer felt in this coun-
try, and probably knows the facts; but
it is little puzzling to ordinary bust
ness minds to know just how he makes
his estimates.
Some Of the piano manufacturers are
not a little surprised that any one should
make such statements. They say:''Near-
ly everything that goes into piano
costs more. Tuning pins have gone up 80
cents per 1000, or 90 cents piano;
piano wire, 20 cents a pound, and it
takes one pound to each treble; keys
cost 81 more Ter set; imported felts, 80
cents more per pound, or % cents for
each piano. These are but few of the
items which cost the manufacturer more
because the duty was greatly increased
on them, consequently the piano business
has not been as dull in fifteen yearssas it
has been this spring and summer. Near
ly all factories are on half time, when
they ought to he filling fall orders. Firms
that usually make forty pianos a week
are only making eight or ten now"

Comparison of Periods.

Since 1916 we have had four periods of
high and prohibitive tariffs, one period
of a moderate tariff with incidental pro-
lection and three periods of low or rev.
enue tariffs. During our whole history
high tariffs have lowered the prices of
farm products and low tariffs have in
creased them, as the following average
prices of corn during the several tariff
periods show:
1 PERIOD.-Modcrat tariff with
incidental protection according to
Clay, a revenue tariff; 1915 to 1924,
corn 56 $40 cents per bushel.

The cutting knife is a strong scythe,
three feet long, set slanting and bolted
securely to the sled. The sled is drawn
by shafts which prevent the horse from
turning around upon the knife. A man
can handle the corn if not too heavy.
He grabs the corn with both hands and
lets it lie across his knee until he has a
lap full and then casts it off, says The
Farm Journal, from which our cut is

WHO PAYS THE TARIFF,
" hat tho Decrease In the Duty on Bind.
ing Irvine Teaches.

What the Decrease In the Duty on Bind.
ing Irvine Teaches.
Every effort is now put forth by the
followers of Mckinley to show that his
bill really reduced duties and taxes.
Thus they point to the low prices now
being paid for sugar. At the same time
they are making extra endeavors to show
that the tariff is not tax, and that
every increase in the tariff makes the
protected article cheaper and cheaper.
Thus The American Economist, the
organ of the Protective Tariff league, is
now boasting that the Mckinley tariff
has lowered the price of binding Irvine.
1t asserts that the price of binding Irvine
has fallen from 14f cents per pound
year ago to II cents now.
Taking up this cue, Kansas organ of
McKinleyism asks: "Will some free
trader himself tell us why the best bind
ing Irvine costs only 10 cents per pound
now when one year ago it was sold for
from Is to II cents a pound? Does an
increase in the tariff always result in re-
ducing the price of a commodity to the
consumer"
True, binding Irvine is lower now than
year ago. But why? The Economist
and its Kansas follower say the fall in
the price is due to the increase in the
tariff. By such Ease statements as this
they may be able to delude the farmers
little while, but the farmer will soon
want to know what the duties We're a
year ago and what they are now. The
price of birding Irvine is lower now for
the same reason that sugar is cheaper.
The duties on the raw materials have
been removed and the duty on the Irvine
itself reduced. This is the true explana-
ton. The rates under the old and new
tariff are as follows:
Old tariff. New tariff.
Manill ............. SIS per ton. Free.
Sisal.. ............... SIS per ton. Free.
Sum-. SIS per ton Free.
Jute.. .............. ~ per cent. Free.
Binding twine...... 21sc. per ID. 7-10c. per ID.
Mckinley fought these changes, es-
pecially that reducing the duty on bind
ing twine, with all his power, just as he
fought against the putting of sugar on
the free list, but he was beaten. The
putting of the above materials from
which binding Irvine is made upon the
free list enabled the Irvine trust to re-
duce the cost of making Irvine, and the
reduction of the duty on the Irvine itself
compel led the trust to give the consumers
the benefit of these reductions. This is
why tv7ine is cheaper now than a year
ago. The difference between the old
Irvine and the price now prevailing is
Just the measure of the tariff tax. To
those who forced Mckinley to put a
clause in his bill reducing these duties,
thanks are due for the good they did and
for their conclusive proof that the tariff
is tax The Economist and its Kan
sas proteges are at liberty to preach as
many sermons as they please about how
high duty makes lower prices. Let
them remember, however, that though
they may be able to fool the farmers
once they cannot fool them all the time.
