Henry George on Indirect Taxation.

In Henry Georges Protection or Free
Trade" which is just now being extern
sively circulated by members of con-
gress, the author thus clearly shows
how oppressively indirect taxes-and
especially tariff taxes-bear upon the
poor, while the rich almost entirely es-
cape: "a still more important objection
to indirect taxation is that when i'm.
posed on articles of general use (and it
Is only from such articles that large
revenues can be had) it bears with fan
greater weight on the poor than on the
rich. Since such taxation falls on peo-
pie not according to what they have but
according to what they consume, it is the
heaviest ON those whose consumption is
largest in proportion to their means.
"As much sugar is needed to sweeten
cup of tea for working girl as for the
richest lady in the land, but the proper
ton of their means which tax on sugar
compels each to contribute to the govern
ment in the case Of the one is much
greater than in the case of the other.
So 1t Is with all taxes that increase the
cost OF articles of general consumption.
They bear far more heavily on married
men than on bachelors; on those who
have children than on those who have
none; on those barely able to support
their families than on those whose in
comes leave them large surplus.
"1f the millionaire chooses to live
closely he need pay no more of these
indirect taxes than the mechanic.
have known at least two millionaires-
possessed not of one, but of from six to
ten millions each-who paid little more
of such taxes than ordinary day la

Hatmakers Done with Protection.


At mass meeting of the Cloth Hat
and Capmakers' union in New York on
June 10, over 700 men, representing
twenty-six out of the thirty shops in the
city, discussed the grievance of wage re-
ductions. 1t was said that during the
last year several reductions in their
wages at different times have made a
total reduction of 70 per cent, and that
during the past four months of the year
the best men have been unable to earn
more than six dollars week. They will
make an effort to get wages back above
starvation point
Pitiable as is the lot of these men, it is
no worse than that of hatmakers else
where In this country since the McKin-
ley bill came their way. A few years
ago the hat factories of Bloomfield, Wat.
sessing and East Orange, N. j., were
prosperous and gave steady employment
to hundreds of hands, nearly all of whom
voted for protection" The almost pro-
hibitive duty on hatters' raw materials
has caused the business to dwindle, un-
til now no mill in Bloomfield is running
on full time, and many of the employees
have sought work in other businesses.
The hatters, being intelligent men, have
become enthusiastic tariff reformers and
are preparing to form Cleveland club.

A Nut for Mckinley to Crack.

Mr.. Mckinley made his notorious old
tariff speech over again at the Mime
apolis convention. He is still pretending
that the foreigner pays the tariff taxes
and that protection simply taxes "the
products of other nations" instead of the
products of our own. Mr.. Mckinley,
however, has never answered the ques.
tion put to him by The World over and
over again: Why is it if the foreigners
pay the tariff taxes that the Fifty-tirst
congress was content with spending a
billion dollars? Why did it not lavish
more of the foreigners money on the
people of this country? Why did it not
wiring q more splendid sum out of the
manufacturers and merchants of Europe
for the payment of the governments ex-
penses and the Republican party's ex-
travagance? How can Mr.. Mckinley ex-
cuse this self restraint, which still leaves
some of the public burdens to be borne
by Americans viii he not answer the
question now that he has repeated the
proposition? Moreover, he might tell the
country why he even refrained from
raising enough to make up the deficiency
caused by the extravaganza of the con-
gress In which he was the leader on the
floor of the house of representatives.

Now He Wants LabOr's Votes.

When " hitelaw Reid was rebuilding
Ophir Farm, his country home, he in
+erted the following advertisement in
his paper, the New York Tribune:
\NANTED.-Stone who can cut and
w set; first-class mechanics only need ap-
ply; wages 81 per day. Call on masons fore
man, Ophir Farm, near White Plains, N. Y.
At the time this advertisement appear
ed the regular wages of stonemasons
were $3.50 day. Reid is not in the
habit of paying regular wages, however,
when he can get his work done for less
So he followed out the same plan as he
'loes in his newspaper business, and
,ried to employ men at "rat" rates. 1t
is all very well for the vice presidential
candidate to declare his friendship for
the laboring classes at this interesting
stage of the game, but history is against
him and shows that he is an active de-
fender of the principle that the rich
man shall increase his property by re-
lucing as far as possible the wages of
his employees. Such man is not fitted
to be vice president of the United States
and cannot possibly command the votes
of the masses.

Degenerated journalism.

That portion of the Republican press
which claims to represent at all times
the party's position upon national ques-
tions, has certainly taken queer and
humiliating stand in the Homestead
trouble. With but few exceptions.these
organs are arrayed in solid phalanx
against the demands of the laboring
class and organized labor in general
They make no attempt to conceal their
true feelings, and their editorials and
perverted news statements constitute
very good evidence that the power of
Republican monopolists is becoming
greater every day.
Corporations were never so bold and
law-defying as at present, and their au-
thority is indeed menacing when a few
iron kings can pull string and twist in
to line every Republican sheet, from the
New York Tribune and Philadelphia
Press down to the little G. o. P. country
weeklies. Newspapers that few
months ago were in heartfelt sympathy
with the cause of the lower classes are
now the mouth-pieces of Carnegia. The
editors dare not speak as they would
wish, but stand like troop of muzzled
automatons waiting to shrek and shout
as they are ordered by Republican politi-
clans.
1t is not very edifying spectacle to
witness, and when people read their
comments on Homestead their opinions
Of the freedom of the press will be con-
Siderably lessened. In justice, how
4ver, to a few Republican journals it
must be said they have acted honorably,
The Hazleton Sentinel being especially
noteworthy in the exceptions. Its ed
tor, while disclaiming for the party all
responsibility for the trouble, has at.
tackled the monopolists from every point
md deserves commendation for his fear
less course.

Semi-Monthly Pay.

The West End Coal Company has
posted the following notice, says the
Shickshinny Democrat:
A large majority of the employees of
the West End Coal Company having ex-
pressed preference for monthly pay
instead of two weeks pay, as has here
tofore been the custom, the company
will pay monthly.
A fine set of employees these must be,
if the company's notice contains the
truth. Why don't they express a pre-
ference for annual payments at once
Are they incapable of handling the mis-.
cradle pittance they have been receiving
every two weeks, or is this Large ma.
iority" phrase only bluff to COW the
men? Let miners everywhere properly
demand semi-monthly payment and
they will get it.

The EnormIty of Tariff Taxation.

repeat what have said before, that
the people of this country never walked
up to the enormity of the tariff taxation
proposed by the Republican party until
the Mckinley bill was put before them
and explained section by section. Mr..
Mckinley for the first time put in cold
type the meaning of his party from the
beginning, and that was to exclude from
this country all products which came in
competition with anything raised or pro-
duced In the United States, to build q
Chinese wall around this country COM
mercially, to decrease imports (as shall
show before the conclusion of my re-
marks they have done), to increase the
free list upon tropical fruits and luxu-
ries and the little frills of commerce,
but upon the absolute necessaries of life.

clude them from this country in order,

abroad. shall have something to say

ANOTHER COPPER TRUST,
Producers Have Agreed to Restrict Pro
duction After July 1.

Producers Have Agreed to Restrict Pro-
duction After July 1.
The New York Daily Commercial Bull
letin of June 16 says: "After long pc
Rod of negotiation the producers of cop
per in Europe and the United States
have arrived at an agreement to restrict
production after July next. The Ameri-
can producers have agreed to restrict
their exports of copper to Europe, in con-
Sideration for which the Spanish produ-
GERS have pledged themselves to cut
down their production per cent. The
object of this agreement is of course to
bring about higher level Of prices"
Whether or not the producers can sue
cessfully hold together to put prices
back where they were during the exist
ence Of the great copper combine in
1880, it is certain that there has been
left for them q duty Of II cents per
pound, which was about all Mckinley
could do to invite another copper trust to
repeat the outrage perpetrated in 1899
upon the American people. 1t will be
remembered that in 1889 the copper trust
sold American copper so much cheaper
in Europe that it was reimported and
sold at a profit here after paying duty
of four cents per pound, and from April
to August, 1889, the foreign price never
exceeded eight cents and the domestic
price was never less than twelve cents.
But for the duty no such difference could
syndicate upon our industries would have
been as slight as they were upon Europe
an industries.
The effect of high prices for raw ma
terials Of any kind is farreaching and
disastrous. How the consumers of cop
per were affected by the high prices of
1888 is described by James Powell, presi-
dent of the Union Brass company, of
Cincinnati, in The Engineering and
Mining Journal of Jan. 10, 1889:
when the syndicate began brass
workers all over the country were fully
employed at good wages, and while the
demand for goods may not have been
kept up at all times with the same vigor,
yet the price of the raw material was
such as to afford a living profit to the
copper producer only.
1.-THE consumption of brass goods for
steam, water and gas has fallen off from
25 to 40 per cent, with no immediate
prospect of an improvement. The ma
nipulations of the combine have been the
most disastrous calamity for the general
copper consuming industries of this
country that has ever befallen them"
As evidence that the American end of
this agreement" is made in good faith,
it is reported from Marquette, Mich,
that general strike is imminent at the
great Calumet and Hecla copper mine.
The company instead of acknowledging
openly that they intend to restrict pro-
duction by closing the mine, announce
that they will discharge all employees
who are members of the Knights of
Labor or of any other labor organization.
They know that this will not only pre-
cipitate long struggle that will restrict
production, but it will give them an op,
portunity to utilize cheap "scab" labor
when they are ready to resume opera,
tions, and perhaps to starve some of the
strikers into accepting lower wages.

TIN PLATE WORKERS. WAGES.
They Must De Reduced - Astonishi ing
Greed of the Manufacturers.

They Must De Reduced = Astonishing
Greed of the Manufacturers.
The great American manufacturers of
tin plate are showing their hands sooner
than was expected, even by the greatest
skeptics of protection. 1t was an
nounced from Pittsburg, June II, that
cat the conference between the tin
plate manufacturers and the scale COM
mittee of the Amalgamated association
this afternoon, the latter were astounded
at call for a reduction of wages of the
most highly skilled CLASSES of workmen
In the tin plate and sheet iron industries.
"This call for a reduction is in the
face Of the assertion of the manufac-
turers that the tariff put on tin plate by
the Fiftieth congress was necessary in
order that good wages might be paid
American workmen."
Think of it! Wages to be reduced so
soon in this great ''infant" industry.
The foreigners, imported by Niedring-
haus and others to work in an Amer
ican" industry at american" wages,
are asked to accept lower wages. This
ought to be the straw that will break
projections" back, but perhaps the
matter can be patched up by the man.
ufacturers who are never backward in
coming forward with excuses for lower
wages. This same dispatch says that
David B. Oliver, G. Zug, ]. H. Laugh
lin and other leading manufacturers
urged the acceptance Of the manufac-
turers scale on account, they said, Of
| la,o-1-ro1 -
trade" just as if iron was not also heav-
lily protected" and therefore entitled
to be in a blooming" condition.
1t was only ON June that the "Asso-
citation of Iron and Steel Manufactur-
ers," the "Tinned Plate Manufacturers
association" and the National Associa-
ton of Galvanized Sheet Iron Manufac-
turers" held meetings ON the same day,
in the same room, and elected the same
secretary. Those who know anything
about the matter know that the duty on
tin plate has been kept up and raised to
benefit not the tin plate makers, who
have never before existed, but the sheet
iron and steel men, both of whom have
been making enormous profits out of the
duty ON tin plate, which has kept up the
price of steel sheets and of galvanized
iron for roofing purposes. 1t was not
strange, then, that they met together
and formed this three headed trust, or
monster. The iron and steel manufac-
turers agreed to reduce wages in their
lines an average of Is or 90 per cent. 1t
was generally believed that the tin plate
men would not dare to exercise their
united power to reduce wages, at least
until after election, or certainly until
the tin plate bill had been discussed ir
congress; but their greed and their
"gaul" has exceeded the expectations of
the most sanguine.
These "McKinleyized" and trusted"
industries consider it their especial privi
lege to worry wage earners and con-
sumers. What do they care for the feel
ings or sentiments Of the people? They
announced on June 2, 1899, that prices
will not be touched on in any way"
And yet The Iron Age of June 16 says
that the prices of sheet iron have been
advanced and that the prices of galvan-
lied iron are firmer, and in few in
stances higher.
