Letter writing i'm America.

Americans are the greatest letter writ
ing people on the globe OF the fifty
odd billion pieces of mail which are
posted in the world every year nearly
1900, 900 go through the postofRces
of the United States. We spend every
year more than $50, 600, 900 for postage,
and during the year 1891 American
tongues licked the backs of $37, ,000, 600
worth of sticky stamps.
The postage stamps sold every year
the world over far surpasses in value
the riches of Jay Gould or the Roths-
childs, and the postage stamp industry
of the world is one of the greatest fac
tors in the machinery which moves the
universe today. And yet postage stamps
are of comparatively recent origin. It
is barely fifty years ago since they were
first used IN England, and in 1847 con-
gress first authorized their use in the
United States. Courier-J Jour-

THEy NEED NO TARIFF.

The following article from the New
York Times states the situation Of the
glass industry in regard TO the tariff:
'sThe manufacturers of flint glass bot
ties have closed their factories for two
we eks, and an officer Of the combi-
nation or association has attempted TO
convince the public that this action was
taken because Of their fear Of an i'm
pending reduction of the tariff duties on
such bottles But now come two proini-
nent Manufacturers Park Of
the North Wheeling West Va.) Bottle
Works and q. w. Yost of the Bellaire
Bottle Works Of Bellaire, Ohio-and
assert that this was not the cause Of the
temporary suspension. The reason,
these manufacturers say, was overpro-
duction Consumption is greater than
ever before, but production has grown
more rapidly
At the same time these gentlemen
agree in making the following very
interesting statement for the enlighten-
ment Of the public concerning the tariff
as affecting their industry:
AS to the tariff on flint bottles, we
would not find fault with its entire re-
moval We are in no wise affected by IL
one way or another. We make bottles
for less than they can be freighted to
this country from abroad, leaving out
the cost of foreign production. If we
had free raw material we could send bot
ties across the water and take the mar
kets of the world.
ut should be borne in mind that these
are the words Of the representatives Of
two large factories. They say that the
entire cost of their bottles is less than
the freight charges upon similar goods
brought to this country from Europe.
That Is TO say. the freight charges alone
afford protection greater than the entire
cost Of production in their factories.
This being admitted, 1t naturally follows
that they need no additional protection
in the tariff.
"Now let us see what the tariff duty is.
Under the old law IL was 40 per cent
under the Mckinley act IL is much
higher, ranging from I cent pound tC
30 cents a gross. The Treasury reports
show that for the fiscal year 1891 tn,
new duty on bottles holding from on,
gill TO one pint was 69l per cent, anC
that the duty on smaller bottles was 10:
per cent. These changes were made a
the request of certain manufacturer
who told the old story 60 the committee
"These duties were not required 70
the protection Of the industry. but to en-.
able the manufacturers 20 make price
high and to enact these high prices b.
means Of a combination agreement. N
part Of them is needed, these two manu-
facturers say, to restrain competition
from abroad when fair competition pre-
walls at home. They 60 further and as
sert that with untaxed raw material
they not only can sell their goods i
foreign markets in competition wit
foreign goods, but can beat the foreig
manufacturer everywhere and take Oh
markets Of the world for their own us,
All this should not be forgotten whe
the new Congress revises the tariff.
