Hunting for Wage Advances.

Republican politicians are unanimous
in declaring that protection has had
nothing to do with the Homestead wage
reductions and the strike in which thou
sands there are concerned, yet they are
embracinp every opportunity-and they
are very few-to announce an advance
in wages, which of course is due TO the
Mckinley act. Over 800 wage reduc-
tions in protected industries have been
reported and it will be strange if few
cases could not be found where wages
had been advanced; but The American
Economist, which has been searching
high and low, has been about as un-
fortunate as Ex-Governor Campbell, OF
Ohio, who has not found single in
stance where wages have been advanced
because of the Mckinley tariff act.
The American Economist alleges that
that it has found such cases, but un-
fortunately they are not such as ostand
criticism. On July %, for the third or
fourth time, The Economist announced
that there had been general increase
of per cent. in the wages Of the en-
ployees Of the Kings County Knitting
company in Brooklyn. A man was sent
to investigate this case. After much
trouble and search he at last heard that
the company was located in the suburbs
of Brooklyn; reaching there he found
that the firm had removed TO another
remote corner Of the same city. AT last
he found the great concern in the top
floor Of building. 1t consisted Of three
men and ten to fifteen girls. The pro-
prietor, who happened to be on hand,
could remember of no advance in wages
until reminded of The American Econ
omist's announcement. Three Of the
girls were also seen; each declared that
there had been no advance in wages to
her knowledge, but that they were earn
ing less than in previous years.
The search will be continued and it is
hoped that more favorable reports may
be made, though the outlook is not
promising.

A MISSOURI EXAMPLE.

Q. Well, suppose the farmers in ST.
Charles County, Mo-, should pool their
wheat crop, 100000 bushels, send it TO
Liverpool in charge of one of their number,
with instruction TO sell it and lay out the
proceeds in certain necessaries. He sells
the grain for Sl,OOO,OOO and invests the
money in goods, as drected-woud the
goods in this case be required to pay i'm
port duty?
A. They would.
@ But the duty on them would be $780,
600, and this would increase the cost to
sl,5OO,OOO?
A. Yes
@. And besides, it looks like a tax of
100000 on the st. Charles County wheat
crop.
A. 1t is g tax of half million dollars on
the ST. Charles County wheat crop.
@. But what does all thi. mean?
A. 1t means protection-it means that
the farmers of St. Charles County shall not
take the money they get for their wheat or
other produce, and spend it for necessaries
of life, without paying 50 per cent. of it in
the shape of protection to the favored man
ufacturing interest.
Q. What was the wheat crop of Missouri
last year?
A. Something over 30, 600 900 bushels
Q. What was it worth ?
A. At 70 cents bushel-Sll00 900
Q. Then, if this wheat cannot purchase
as much American goods by so per cent
as it can of English goods, here is taS Of
s., 900 900 on Missouri farmers on their
last years wheat crop?
A. That is what it comes to.

TARIFF PRIMER.
The Subject Made Plain; by ID. VI. Girls
SOM.
THREE TO ONE.


QUEsTIoN-A there any duties that are
both revenue and protective at the same
time?
ANswER-Yes. Nearly all duties under
our present tariff are both revenue and pro-
tective, because they do not prohibit the
importation of foreign goods entirely and,
therefore, yield both revenue to the gov
ment and protection to home manufactur.
ers-but as a rule, three times as much to
the home manufacturers as to the govern
ment
Q. How is this I?
A. The government gets the duty only
on the foreign goods imported, while the
home manufacturers get it on all the pro-
tected goods they make, which IS five or six
times as much.
PROTECTION IS 4 TAN OK WHEAT.
Q. What foreign country buys most of
our produce?
A. Great Britain.
@. Does it levy import duties on it?
A. 1t does not 1t admits our breadstuff,
and meats and provisions free Of duty, and
buys very largely of them.
O. You say our protective tariff forces us
to pay 81 80 for what we can buy abroad
for $1O0?
A. Yes.
@. Then, n man might buy abroad for
$500 articles that would mt home cost him
$3.50.
A. Yes.
@. Now, suppose farmer takes his crop
of wheat, 500 bushels, to Liverpool, sells it
for $500, and lays ont the money in articles
of necessity which are cheaper there, and
brings them to this country-would he be
allowed to bring them in free of duty?
A. No.
Q. What? Not if he brought them on
the same vessel with himself?
A. No He would have to paysyhe duty
@ But they are his own goods,
bought with bis own wheat, raised by the
sweat of his own brow Indeed, they are
his own wheat value, in different form.
A. That makes no difference-our tariff
law will compel him to pay the 80 per
cent duty on them.
Q. But so per cent. duty on them
would be $3.50, and that would make his
$500 worth of English goods, bought with
his wheat, cost him $3.50 in the end?
A. 1t would indeed.

CHIEF OF FRAUDS.
THE AMERICAN WORKMAN GETS NO
BENEFIT FROM TIN PLATE.

American" Tin Plate Made Of Imported
Black Sheets, Coated with Imported
Tin by Imported Labor by the Use OF
Imported Machinery.
There are several other bigger frauds,
when amounts are considered, that are
being worked on the American people
than the tin plate fraud; but this one is
pre-eminent when the percentage OF
frauds TO the dollar is taken into ac-
count. II matters but little from what
point of view the subject is approached.
The consumer is losing from Sl5,OOO,OOO
TO 500. .O0O, 900 a year, with no compensa-
ton at present and no hopes of any in
the future; the American workingman
is getting no benefit from the small tin
plate, or rather tin coating, establish
ments that are temporarily located here,
because the only labor that receives
more than ordinary day wages is inn
ported the capitalist who invests In
this business is likely to lose money be-
cause the high price of steel or "black'
sheets due to the duty prevents the
prosperity of the industry here until we
can import plates free Of duty or can
roll them here as cheaply as they arc
rolled in Europe. Even the politicians
will find that this industry has done
them more harm than good. Ii is said
that some of them are already sorry
that they staked so much on it and made
such glowing promises.
The Hon. Thomas l.. Bunting said in
congress June 10: 1.-The tin plate indus
try as now developed and put on record
is a finishing shop for Welsh consign-
ments of cold rolled, picked and an
nealed steel plates. 1t is adding to this
Welsh material twenty-five cents of
Welsh labor through the use of Welsh
machinery for each box Of tin plate. 1t
is simply putting on coat OF paint on
the finished product, with Australian
paint and n Welsh brush and by n
Welsh painter. Up to date, with but
few exceptions, the tin plate industry Of
this country has but one ingredient in
its composition which is truly Ameri-
can, viz, domestic atmosphere. And
this is the reason why in the burning of
the factory over at Philadelphia belong
ing to the N. & G.. Taylor company there
was not an entire destruction and loss
because the atmosphere was rescuedv'
If any one thinks that American tin
plate. so called, is made from American
black sheets, let him read the evidence
presented by the Hon. Benjamin +.
Shively in the house on June 10. Mr..
Shively had prepared for him by the
chief Of the bureau of statistics state
ments showing the imports of iron and
steel sheets, such as are commonly used
for making tin and terne plate. 1t should
be remembered that these plates consti-
tute about nine-tenths of the weight and
also nine-tenths of the value of tin and
terne plates. The statistics OF imports
were as follows:

The workingmen of this country, re-
marked Senator Hale a few days ago,
were never so contented and well paid
as now. The total number Of locked
out and striking employees throughout
the country, says Bradstreet's, increased
last week from about 10000 to 100000.
Everybody knows the comparative value
of the two authorities in these two cases.
The American workingmen are as a rule
very comfortably circumstanced in these
times, but the Mckinley tariff can hardly
be said to have raised them all into a

Commenting upon this table Mr..
Shively said: Every pound of black
plates noted in this table is of the proper
gauge and general character for tin and
terne plates. The plates noted are ready
10 receive the coat of tin or tin and lead.
The normal importation and consump-
ton of these plates prior to the passage
of the act of 1890 is shown by the statis-
tics for the fiscal years 1889 and 1890 re-
spectively." For comparison the prod
uct Of american" tin plate as reported
by the special agent Of the treasury de-
partment has been given in the last col
umn. Previous to the quarter ending
Sept. 80, 1891, tin and terne plates were
not made here in commercial quantities,
though it is evident from the imports OF
black sheets just previous to this time
that preparations were being made TO es-
tablish this now famous American"
industry.
Mr.. Shively says: "These statistics, all
Of which are official, show that the
American production Of tin and terne
plates for the three-quarters ending
March 81 was 5,240, $50 pounds, while
the importations of black plates for
the same period was 5,4ls,552 pounds.
Moreover, it must be remembered that
the ,3s9, $50 pounds Of black sheets inn
ported during the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1891, remain unaccounted for.
AS is shown by the importations for
1889 and 1890, the consumption OF i'm
ported black plates in this country prior
TO the passage Of the act Of 1890 did not
average over 5000 pounds per annum.
Small amounts of these plates have been
for years used in the manufacture Of
signs and a few other articles IL is
perfectly apparent that the bulk Of the
1880, ,582 pounds was imported for other
purposes. The real fact is that from the
time the act Of 1890 went on the statute
book to March 81, 1892, there was i'm
ported into the United States 6,7jS,1 IA
pounds Of black plates, and there was
made 5,240, $50 pounds Of what the treas
ury department construes to be tin and
terne plates produced in the United
States, SO that after making ample al
lowance for all the imported black
plates consumed in this country for
other purposes we have left over l,0O0,-
600 pounds to coat with tin and return
to the treasury department at the end Of
the present quarter as tin plate pro-
duced in the United States"
This, then, is the kind Of an industry
that protection is trying TO domesticate
and put on exhibition here. The ami
mails in Barnum's circus are as much
American as is this industry and far
more useful for exhibition purposes.

Recouactions of Oxford.

My not being at a public school has, I
have no doubt, strengthened my love of
my university and my college. In my
time the ''head masters" had not had
everything their own way. TWAS pos
sible TO enter Oxford at the age Of nine
teen-it was nothing wonderful TO get a
scholarship before eighteen or even
earlier still. And to be scholar and fell
low OF Trinity from 1S41 to 1S47 was
something to be. 1t was indeed circle
to look back to of which fifty years ago l
was chosen a member, circle of which a
man is much to lC blamed if he is not
wiser and nobler for having been one.
But love of the foundation, the feeling
of membership, of brotherhood, in an
ancient and honorable body, the feeling
of full possession in ones college as "a
home, the feeling of personal nearness
to a benefactor of past times, all that
gathers round the scholarship that was
something worthier than a mere prize,
the fellowship that was something
worthier than a EXAMINERS wages-all
this, l hope, has not even yet utterly
vanished, but under the hands of one re-
forming commission after another. such
feelings have undoubtedly greatly weak
ened in the Oxford to which have come
back.
In the unreformed university, the I'M
reformed college in which l had the
happiness to spend my youth, we had
time to learn something, because we
were not always being taught. We
were not kept through our whole time,
vexed by examination after examination,
examined in this subject one term, in
that subject the next term, all ingenious
~ combined for the better forgetting OF
one thing before the next was taken in.
We had one examination, and search
ing one, the successful passing Of which
could not seem to any but fool to be-
the goal of study, but which, by the
reading it required, gave a man tho best
possible start for study in several
branches of knowledge.-Edward A.
Freeman in Forum.

The gavel presented to the chairman
of the Republican national convention is
an illustration of the benefit of the forest
homestead act under which the man
who took up one homestead could get
another by planting and rearing GER
tam number of trees. Owing to the en-
enlargement to tree planting furnished
by this act, there are now thousands of
acres of good timber on what We're once
the treeless plains of Nebraska and Kan
sas, and the timber is just where it is
wanted. There is a beautiful object les
son in this in proof of the wisdom of the
Republican party in thus conserving
the welfare of the people and the best
interests of the country.
