The Wool Reporter and Mckinley Differ as
10 the Tarin For Revenue Prom 1870 to
1891.
The great meeting Of the Home Mar
ket club of Boston. on Thursday even
ing. Novembe 10. brought together a
notable gathering Of statesmen and
manufacturers. About six hundred
members Of the club participated in the
reception TO Maj Mckinley. Hon.
Thomas Il Reed. Senator Aldrich. OF
Rhode Island, and Senator Hoar. OF
Massachusetts,. and. others, at the hotel
Vendome, and also in . banquet at
that place from four TO seven o'clock.
They then all adjourned to fremont
temple. where q vast audience of up
wards of four thousand people listened
TO speeches BY Maj Mckinley. Speaker
Reed. Senator Aldrich and Senator
Hoar.
Maj. Mckinley was, of course. the
hero Of the hour. and made an eloquent
and interesting address, but while no
was deploring the condition of the
country in the fourteen years Of tariff
for revenue only from ls46 TO 1861. the
democratic treasurer OF the great
Amoskeag mills, who sat upon the
platform and approved the proceed

man that the period from ls45 to 1864
was not characterized by such unal-
loyed poverty and distress as some
would have us believe In 1916 the
Amoskeag declared dividends OF IS per
cent in stock and 10 per cent in cash.
in ISL. it declared IS per cent in stock
and 5 per cent in cash. and ia 1si9 il
1t declared 20 per cent in stock and 8
per cent in cash. and there were but
few half years from that time to 1860
in which IL did not pay semi-annual
dividends A panic occurred in 1857 and
the Bay State mills at Lawrence failed.
but 50 did panic occur in 1879 and in
1889 some very important mills failed.
The following great textile corpora

1861: Atlantic mills in 1919; Lyman

No plates are rolled in sizes smaller
than 24x60 square inches The smaller
sizes are made from defective or broken
pieces Of large platea They are, there
fore. in the nature OF by-products
only. and their production is limited
The demand for these small sizes for
making small mirrors. display shelves
and counters has been so great that
large imports are necessary.
The plate glass manufacturers con-
fine production to the larger sizes only.
The duties on these sizes are, therefore,
the measure of their protection. So
we'll do they manipulate the market
and so strong Is their control over pro-
duction and prices that they get out OF
the tariff nearly AL there is in IL Since
the duties are specific they are the same

This explains the reason why the
com bine keeps its price little lower
than the foreign cost with the duty
added.
The enormous profits made by the
plate glass combination by keeping up
prices and exacting its tariff bonus is
