Tin-PIate Prices.

The Boston Post, Democratic, reports
that it is informed by tin plate i'm
porter that, while he is now paying sew
enteen shillings six pence per box for
ordinary coke tin, he has offers as low
as thirteen shillings and three pen 20 for
July delivery-that is, after the new
duty goes into effect There is one
strong inference to be drawn from these
figures, which is that the Welsh combine
has deliberately put MP prices to make
an extra profit before it is driven entire
ly out of the market, American con-
sumers will find that by holding off pur-
chases the great quantity now being inn
ported into this country in anticipation
of the new duty will be put on the mar
ket, when the. limits of importers credits
is up and they are required to pay for
their plates at prices far below what
they have heretofore been selling.
That is the experience in nearly
every large line OF imports which
were marked UP to create the
AdcKinley pricesp scare. Still another
reasonable deduction is that the foreign
importers viii pay the increased duty
and put down prices in a desperate effort
to retain this market, in which they sold
over /, O0a, 900 boxes last year.

"Don't Like for Us to Say That"

In it's local news and under the head
ing of ETCHED and Sketched," the At.
lanta GA. Constitution permitted one
of its reporters to say:
Il met Colonel Jack King, OF Rome,
at the KimbalI last evening. Mr.. King
will be remembered as Mr.. williamson
second in the famous Calhoun William
son duel. But he has quit that business
now and goneinto more profitable one.
He is making cotton ties up in Rome,
and incidentally making fortune out of
them.
al am down before The rate commits
sion,' he said, to get better rate on
cotton ties. We have a factory in Rome,
and are turning out $40 bundles of
thirty ties each daily. We already have
orders for nearly every tie we can make,
and could sell twice as many had we the
capacity. We can make them cheaper
than they can i'm either Ohio or Penn,
sylvania The Mckinley bill has helped
us out in this considerably, but our peo-
pie down here don't like for us to say
that. Anyhow, we are making enough
ties to bale half of the cotton crop OF
Georgia and Alabama.
"Mr. Kings company is making money
and there's no reason why other facto-
RES of the same kind should not be
started in Georgia and Alabama. Both
the bagging and the ties for the cotton
crop should be made entirely in the cot
ton section. There is money in it for a
factory right here in Atlanta.
On the same day and on the same
page the same newspaper remarked edi-
torially of the Republicans of the United
States:
"They defend and approve the Nc
Kinley tariff law, which tilches from the
poor in order that the rich may be made
richer.
The fact is that the Mckinley bill has
! helped all people in every State, but as
Col. Jack King, of Rome, Ca, very
truthfully observed, the people of the
Southern States and the Democrats
everywhere "don't like for us to say

"While we are talking of faithful
ness" Colonel, Il may mention Ned
Banks, an express messenger on the
Kansas Pacific good many years ago.
/ had often met Ned and found him a
jolly good fellow and one who was capa-
bic of making friends. I fiattered my
self that was one of his friends.
Il was on his train once when we had
a wreck. It was clearly the work of
train wreckers. The first two cars
were practically knocked to kindling
wood. Banks had lot of money in his
cara big lot of it. knew it and ran
forward to help him in case any efforts
were made in the excitement to steal
his treasure. i found him sitting in his
wrecked car, white of face, but holding
six-shooter in one hand while a rifle
rested across his knees.
All right Nedp / cried to him. I'll
be with you in a minute
Hold up, said Ned. You mustn't
come in here
Well, I'm coming anyway, old man,
answered climbing over some shat
tered timbers.
"'Hold up, Colonel said Ned, level
ing his six-shooter at me. If you come
a step nearer I'll kill YOU
For heavens sake be reasonable,
Ned / cried impatiently: you're hurt,
you're bleeding. Let me get You out

"'No, sir, said Ned, Look out he
added threateningly, Tll shoot. as sure
as am Ned Banks.
But you don't think, do you, that I
am trying to rob you
I don't know anything about that,
Colonel. only know that my boxes
are in danger, and am going to take
care of them. You can go out; send
the conductor and brakeman here, but
you can't come in
"That settled it, saw that he meant
what he said, and went off to find the
trainmen.
"Now would you believe it, when they
got him out he tainted dead away. He
had his leg crushed and three ribs
broken, but he stuck to his boxes.
II believe his company did the hand
some thing for him. He was trans
ferred to another railroad and ran on it
for about three years. One night his
train leaped like thunderbolt into
another, running in the opposite di-
rection. When they got into the wreck

From 1910 there has been rapid de-
cline in prices from 10 cents to 2.s5 in
1890. Meanwhile the amount of produc-
ton increased from 1000 to 100000
kegs. In 1890 the Republican party
fCV3 ID this great industry, fostered by
the protective tariffs of 1875 and 1883,
strong enough to bear reduction of the
duty, and it was accordingly reduced
from cents per pound to cents on
sizes in most common use. No other
industry shows so clearly the workings
of a protective tariff. The same history

How the Cotton-Tie Duty Works.

In a special dispatch from Washing
ton the EUening Post gives the details
from report of Consul Burgess at Tun-
stall, England, of the suspension of a
large concern there which was engaged
in manufacturing cotton ties for this
market, the works being closed because
of the increased duty on that article in
the Mckinley bill. The dispatch con-
cludes with this paragraph:
"This will be grateful news to those
anti 'live-andlet-live' people who regard
our tariff system as chiefly valuable for
the injury it inflicts on everybody out
side of our own country; but how will it
strike the cotton producers of the South,
who, in order to ship their goods to mar
ket, are now compelled to pay nearly
three times the duty they have had to
pay heretofore on their ties?"
If the Post had perused Tuesdays
Press, wherein it was stated that since
the Mckinley bill was passed cotton ties
have been selling at $1.10 per bundle,
whereas the price before that event was
81. 90, it would probably be able to an
swer its own question about how it
strikes the cotton producers of the
South. The broader market and larger
trade assured to American manufact-
urers by the new duty enabled them to
put down the price, take a smaller mar
gin of profit and still make money.
Not only this, but they are now selling
steel ties of better quality than the old
iron ties for the lower price. AS for the
Southern producers paying nearly three
times as much duty, they do not pay any
duty, but buy American made goods, on
which there is no duty. That's where
the shoe pinches our English contem-
porary-NelD York Press.

The public is not very well Informed in
regard to the manufacture of sugar from
beets and the probable demand for the
product frC m these factories The idea
prevails that in all Iowa there is room
for only one beet sugar factory, and now
that Marshalltown claims to have se-
cured this one, it is regarded as useless
Tor other towns to make any further
efforts. This is a mistake. 1t Is sim
cerelY hoped that tho Marshalltown
factory is an assured success, but that
will not interfere with Des Moines,
Cedar Rapids, Ottumwa, Oska!oosa,
Grinnell, Newton, or any other town
building factory as large or three
times as large as the one that Is to be
built at Marshalltown. If the manufac-
ture OF sugar from beets can be made
successful at Marshalltown, then there
Is room for factory in every one of the
ninety-nine counties of the State, and
even with this capacity the demand for
sugar will exceed the supply. The fac
tory at Grand Island, Neb., has ca
Dacity ofs300 tons of beets, and will turn
out about thirty tons of sugar per. day.
Sixty thousand pounds of sugar per day
is a large amount, but it is estimated
that before 1880 it will require roo such
factories to supply the home consump-
tion of sugar
The people of the United States are a
sugar-eating people, They do not spend
$1,00o,oC0 but $1oOOoo,00o annually for
sugar. Nor has this consumption
reached it's probable limits, for it is a
fact that the per capita consumption in
Great Britain far exceeds that in the
United States The demand for sugar is
bound to increase with the recent lower
ing in prices. If the factory at Mar
shalltown should represent an invest
ment of 100000, which is claimed for
the Nebraska factory, there is at least
1874, 500, 600 more for profitable invest
ment in the same line Of manufacture.
There is hope for every town in Iowa.
There is no reason why every community
should not in the near future have a
factory erected in its midst There is a
chance for each factory to distribute
100000 annually in the community
where it is located. Let no other town
despair because Marshalltown has Sc
cured the first prize. AS far as Des
Moines is concerned, some day there will
be a factory with a capital of several
millions of dollars located near the forks
OF the Raccoon v-Des Motfoes Register.

without single case of trichinosis ever

plain truth in regard to the matter. The
discrimination against American pork is
made to protect French meat producers,
not only by high duties but by terrifying
the people through false charges against
