Inc jug handled reciprocity treat,

When this treaty goes into effect tho
United States government will have
made m agreement by which ,Nicarag.

cattle from this country, while it will
tax our W farmers thirty dollars
head on horses and ten dollars IL head OH
cattle. 1t will make Agricultural and
garden seeds free to the favored foreign.
erS and will tax its own people 20 pc,
cent. II will provide free coal for thu

The Nicaraguan will have free wool

United States will pay a tax of from 10
per cent. TO $3.50 ii thousand feet.
The one will have free and the Other
taxed agricultural implements. The one
will be able TO fence his farm with un.
taxed wire, while the other will be
Obliged to pay a tax on his fence wire of

The Nicaraguans will have untaxed

States must continue TO pay a bounty to
the producers of ore and to the makers
of pig and bar iron. on the lumber, on
the rivets and nails, and finally on the
finished product.
These are a few of the incidents of a
treaty by means of which is
to be increased through relief granted to
the people Of foreign countries. The
protectionists have based their system
on "nniity 10 foreign commerce., and
their pretended reciprocity treaties bea,
strong testimony to the fact that they
are AT last moved by stress of hostile
public sentiment to mitigate the results
OF that enmity. Revenue r~cfor,ners
would remove the shacklcs from com.

United States: the reciprocity iugglers

Therefore in this last treaty. Us in those
that have gone before it, the burden
continues To rest on the people Of this

to buy their plates from the sheet iron
and steel manufacturers.
Those which are making their own
plates are nearly all also manufacturers
OF galvanized sheet iron and steel. and
are members of the Galvanized Iron as
ISOLATION. 1t was this association which
was chiefly interested in having the duty
on tin and terne plate advanced. Their
primary aim was twofold-(D to cause
an advance in the price of terne plate
used for roofing. and for this purpose
competing with their own galvanized
product, and (2) to extend the market
for their sheet iron and steel.
In respect to the first they have been
very successful. for the present high
price of terne plate has not only caused
an increased demand for galvanized
sheets. but has enabled them to advance
its price directly in the face of IL large
fall i'll the price of the raw material and
of I'LL other iron and steel products. The
concerns now making sheet iron and
steel which have erected or propose t.
erect thinning plants are among the small.
est of those engaged in sheet iron and
steel production. The large manufac.
tuners Of sheet iron and steel have
shown no inclination to engage in the
manufacture of tin plates. But the,
will M doubt be ready to furnish plates
AT their w prices to those who erect

Tie maple sugar vote" in New Eng
land is greatly dissatisfied with the
workings of the Mckinley law. That
measure removed the duty OH imported
sugar, but offered the home producer II
bounty as compensation. But the new
system does not suit the Vermont own
crs of maple groves at all. They COM
PLAIN that they are being ruined by the
lauper maple sugar of Canada. Con.
SressnIan Powers drew this alarming
picture of the situation in Il speech de-
livercd III the house recently:
''The maple sugar production of Yer.
mont is about 10000 900 pounds. The
production of Canada, just across the
line. is 10000. 900. But the possibilities
of production in Canada are perfectly
astounding; 100, 000. 900 pounds might be
proGnccd there, and since this bounty
was given to the maple sugar producer
there have been ten carloads of maple
sugar imported into this country from
Canada where before there was but one.
1t is imported to the city of Chicago
and there a~dulterated. and is sold, as |
am told. through the west for Vermont
maple sugar"
So desperate is the situation of the
Vernlonters hat Mr.. Powers has intro
duced a bill to restore the old duty and to
repeal the bounty. One of his objections
to the bounty system is that the red tape
necessary in order to get it compels the
producer to lose the early market on
maple sugar and forfeit more than two
cents a pound if he undertakes to secure
The bounty. MIR. Powers declares that
''if the old tariff upon sugar were re-
stored. so as to keep foreign sugar out
and leave the market to our own product.
then our maple sugar producers would
be vastly better off than they are
now" All of which illustrates again
the difficulty of suiting people by any
device to put money in their pockets by
way OF the federal treasury. New York

The facts on which Mr.. Wright based
this statement We're collected by him in
1889 and 1890. Since then an important
change has taken place. Not only have
the prices of materials fallen consider
ably. but wages have been reduced from
10 to over ID per cent. III The mills of all
the members of the combination. These
reductions have had the effect of reduc-
ing materially the cost of producing
rails. In fact. well informed persons
are of the opinion that the total cost Of
production of steel rails is now below
twenty dollars per ton On this basis
the combine is making Il profit of not
less than ten dollars per ton for every ton
Of rails sold at the combination price.
Under ordinary conditions this high
rate of profit would cause new plants 10
be put iii operation, but such 0sitSide
works as nOw have the machinery decided
are either under agreements with the
combine not to engage in producing
rails. or realize that if they should at
tempt il the combine would ut once cut
prices and thus prevent them from COM
peting.
The steel rail combine therefore is a
monopoly Of the worst character. By
keeping up the price of rails it prevents
the railroads from making needed re-
pairs ana extending their lines. This is
clearly shown by the experience Of the
past year. And when. III spite of the
combine, AN era of railroad building be.
gins. the prices of rails is mt once raised
to the importing point. with the result
that the cost of such extension is great
ly increased. The high prices ruling in
1856 and 1887 are Il sufficient proof OF
this. and the competition Of foreign
rails. even at the high prices now ruling
here. Is prevented by the duty of Sl3.4i
per ton. In short. in its absolute con
troll over production and prices. the steel
rail combine has a mortgage ON future
extension. with full W to
it at amy time it sees fit.

try. Unlike other combines il has not
been formed by the merging of all the
interests under il central authority by Il

How a Gold Discovery Was Made.


Mr.. James F. Wardner, of Fairhaven,
tells a singular story of how the gold
quartz in Okanogan county, which is
now being worked as the Little Falls
and Red Jacket mines, was found. son
Sept. Is last" he says, 1.-TWO prospectors,
Redmond and Herrick, were out hunt
ing and prospecting, and they had with
them bird dog named Skookum. They
were working through the Salmon river
basin when they came over a hill and
looked down into little ravine with a
brook running through the bottom. They
saw in a bush overhanging the brook a
pheasant, at which one of the men shot.
The bird fell into the water and the dog
Skookum started after it. AS he scram-
bled back with it in his mouth his paw
pulled down some soft green moss from
the rock at the side Of the stream. The
prospectors noticed that the stone showed
white under the moss. They made an
examination and found it to be gold
bearing quartz. They followed the lead
and located the two claims.
"Well, had been for some time look
ing for that sort of ore, and SO on my
recent trip to Okanogan | bonded the
two claims, and with them included the
black dog Skookum. We are now going
to take possession and arrange for de-
velopment. New York Post.
