THE GROWTH OF THE DOLLAR.

The favorite theme of the free trad
er is that since the passage of the Nc
Kinley law the prices of the neces-
saries of life have increased and that
it works against the interest of labor.
Two years ago the election occurred
within month of the time the new
tariff law took effect and the free
trade price liar filled the land with
the most dire forebodings as to the
effect it would have upon trade, and
especially upon the price Of those ar
ticles which are a necessity to the
great mass of the common people.
All this had it's effect, and a general
alarm spread over the country. Many
not understanding the provisions of
the new law were afraid that mis-
take had been made, and feared the
results, while thousands were doubt
less led to vote with the opposition
because of the Misrepresentation
spread broadcast through the coun-
try. The general trade of the coun-
try long ago accommodated itself to
the new law and it's effect upon prices
can now be noted with accuracy.
To find out the true state of the
situation throughout the country the
american Economist has gathered from
thousands of retail stores all over the
nation their selling prices upon the
chief manufactured necessaries. Be-
low we give the average purchase
price actually paid by consumers for
the articles named and these are COM
pared with the price of the same arti-
Gle in October 1889, and also with the
price of the ante-bellum low tariff
period, 1857. The result shows radi-
Cal reduction upon all important
manufactured necessaries:

The reelection Of John Morley by a
good-sized majority, only emphasizes
the fact that home rule will be the
great question before the present par
lament. The Conservatives have in
sisted that the people of England did
not pronounce in favor of home rule
at the late election, and that the ma
jority of the opposition did not repre-
sent their sentiments in that respect.
They proposed to prove the correct
ness of their assertions in defeating
John Morley upon his asking for re-
election upon accepting the office OF
Chief Secretary for Ireland. This was
accepted by Mr.. Morley and his
friends, and the short campaign was
fought upon the one question of home
rule, and Morley won as easy victory.
The result of this election is not only
personal triumph for the new Irish
Secretary, but for his party as well,
for it was won without single sur
render of principle, or change in
his opinion on the labor question,
which he mapped out previous to the
July election. 1t will do more than
anything else to solidify Mr.. Glad
stones majority of forty in the House
of Commons, and make it possible to
pass his home rule measure at an ear
ly date. In challenging Mr.. Morley's
reelection, the Conservatives made a
grievous mistake

THE TIN PLATE INDUSTRY.

Lie Tree UIducI 10 pOolulNO pudU Uiu
plate cannot be manufactured in this
country, and though it is manufac-
tured, and that in increasing guam
Titles, he still continues to retail this
dry rot to the contrary. Special
Agent Aver, of the Treasury Depart
ment, who was instructed to examine
into the question of tin plate manu-
facture, has made this report for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1892. He
finds that the total production of tin
and terne plates proper for the year,
by quarters, was as follows: Septem-
Der 80, 1891, S26,99 December 81,
1891, 1,4O9, S21; March 81, 1892, $780,
225; June 80, 1892, $500, 751; total 49,
GAG, 719.
At the commencement of the
year but five firms were engaged
in the manufacture of tin plate. At
the close of the year there were twen-
ty-six firms so engaged.
This is indeed a wonderful showing
for a new industry, and indicates that
in very short time it will take its
place among the great industries of
the country. An increase from less
than 1000, 600 pounds of tin and terne
plates the first quarter to more
than 100000 pounds during the
last quarter of the year,
is a showing that ought to
cause the tin plate liar to hang his
head with shame. The progress that
has been made fully iustifies the
claims made by the author and
friends of the Mckinley law. 1t is
only another Illustration of the fact
that all the American workmen
wants is chance, and the story OF
building up all our great industries will
again be repeated, and the vast sum
Of money that for years past has an
nually flowed into European channels
for tin plate, will be kept at home,
employment furnished to thousands
of workmen, and market established
for an increased amount of the pro-
duce of American farms.
To repeal the law which has made
it possible to establish this industry
in this country, would be nothing
more nor less than crime against la
Dor; yet that is what the Democratic
party is pledged to do, and it goes be-
fore the public and asks for the votes
of labor, that it may obtain power to
strike this blow at labor-a blow
aimed not only at the labor that would
be employed in the tin plate industry,
but at that employed in every other
field of industry that would
benefit from having this new
field occupied in this country,
and no laborer would benefit
more therefrom than the farmer.
The attempt of the Democratic
press to ridicule the establishment of
tin plate manufacture in this country
because in the first few months after
the law took effect, there was not
manufactured here all that the coun-
try needed for its consumption, is too
absurd to be noticed. 1t carries with
it it's own answer.
The rapid growth of the tin plate
manufacture indicates that the time
is hear at hand, when we shall be able
to supply our own wants in that direc-
tion and not be at the mercy of for
eign manufacturer. The wisdom Of
it's promoters is already demonstrate
ed, and as the time passes, the only
wonder will be, that the establish
ment of the industry in the United
States has been so long delayed.
