Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1892-02-24

There are in the United States
thiry-eight cordage and binding
Irvine factories, twenty-nine OF
which are owned and controlled by
the National Cordage Company, of
New York. The 20 in the trust, if
it may be so termed, produces 60 per
cent of the total output. There
were produced and consumed in the
United States in 1890 $4,000 tons
of Irvine, all but 1000 tons of which
were made from foreign-grown
fibers. If the seven-tenths of one
cent per pound is added to the price,
as is probable, this tax cost the far
mers of the United States i'm the
year 1890 about 100000, and this
does not include large additional
sum charged by profits on the in
creased price by the various dealers
through whose hands the product
passed. Not one dollar of this large
tax reached the treasury. Surely
there can be no excuse for allowing
this trust to continue the exaction
of this tribute. The raw material
from which this Irvine is made is
already on the free list.

promises to be interesting.
The subject itself is of the utmost
importance, and just now that
branch of it which is especially in.

grants.
The law on this subject Is loose
and to that extent unjust. There
is often a wide difference between
one who lands in this country with
no money and an abundance of in
dustry and energy, and one who
comes here with a little money and
without any adaptability to the re-
quirements of the country, or with
out the capacity to thrive.
In a year or two the first may be

may be in the poorhouse, prison or

Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1892-02-24

On December 30, last, we pub
lished few extracts from the Pho
neer, where that paper persisted in
stating that the State tax in this
county had been doubled, and stig-
matized the assertion as a falsehood,
with a cheap attempt at making
political capital, but the Pioneer
man could not then find time to
say anything in reply, but since his
return from the sunny south, hav-
ing become warmed up few de-
grees, he seems to be laboring under
the impression that he has found a
mares nest, doubtless forgetting the
fact that his assertion that "the
State tax has been doubled" had
been fully proven to be false. Even
his own figures prove his reckless
assertions to be untrue.
And now, Mr.. Pioneer, while you
seem to take so much interest in
the raising of valuations, will you
kindly tell us who raised the valua-
ton in this city last year, and how
much?

The Lottery Killed.

Hardly a more important piece Of
good news has come to the public
lately, says the New York Times,
than that which the Times publish
ed Thursday of the collapse of the
Louisiana Lottery. One giant insti-
tuition of immortality which was a
fostering cause of crime and misery
throughout the land is overthrown.
In these days, when vice seems to
get the upper hand so often, this in
stance of its defeat is something for
good folks to rejoice over.
John A. Morris who is more of
New York than of Newt Orleans, has
been for long time the principal
owner of the monopoly, and has
been enriched thereby. In a letter
addressed to the people of Louisiana
he declares for himself and his asso-
ciates that he will not accept a new
charter or continue the business
under any conditions. He assigns
two reasons for this decision, one

The Pay Of Postmasters.

The fourth-class Postm asters,
have lately had a convention in
Washington, says the New York
Times, to agitate for an increase of
pay. These Postmasters are of the
lowest classification. They are not
paid salary, but receive a COM
mission on the value of the postage
stamps Cancelled on letters deposited
in their Offices, provided the commits
sion does not exceed 5000. When
an income of an Office reaches ST.
600 it becomes a third-class Office,
and the Postmaster is appointed by
the President. The fourth-class
Postmasters number about 10000,
and they are appointed by the Post
master General nominally; but in
practice they are appointed by the
First Assistant Postmaster General.

son made scandalous havoc during

Adds to the Farmers Load.

The first OF the reports from the
ways and means committee on three
tariff bills ordered reported to the
House, says the Free Press Wash.
ington Dispatch, has been prepared
by Representative Bryan, of Ne
braska, who drew up the bill. 1t is
to accompany the bill making bind
ing Irvine free of duty and will be
presented to the House in a day or
two. The present rate of duty on
binding Irvine, the report says, is
seventeenth cents per pound, this
rate having been fixed as COM
promise in conference after the SEN
ate by vote of 81 to "a had placed
binding twine on the free list. The
report adds;
That great industry, agriculture,
which lies at the foundation of all
others and upon the welfare of
which all the interests of the coun-
try SO largely depend, has been neg
lected. It has been Disseminated
against for the benefit of the pro-
tected industries, and the injury has
been aggravated by the imposition
of useless duties upon a large num-
Der of agricultural products under
the pretense that such tariff would
increase the price of such products,
although the farmer has been as
sured that a similar tariff OH man
ufactured articles would reduce the
price of the goods he buys. A
large part of the surplus products
Of the farm must be disposed of in
foreign market aud the price of
that surplus, fixed by free COMPETE
ton, regulates the price of the por-
ton sold at home. If the articles
necessarily used by the farmer in
the harvesting of his crops are made
dearer for him than for his COMPETE
tors, he must bear the burden alone,
for there is no one to whom he can
transfer it.
The tariff on binding Irvine can
not be justified except upon the
principle that the taxing power
should be used to prevent importa-
tions entirely; and that principle,
besides being unsupported by con-
stitutional authority, would destroy
all income from imports and compel
us to look to some other source for
the necessary revenues.

drain upon them. 1t is delicate
matter to so frame the laws of inn
migration that those only will be
admitted to the country who will
increase its prosperity.
Still, laws may be and ought to
be framed for the exclusion of for
eign paupers and criminals. Con-
sular inspection the commissioners
do not believe in, for the very good
reason that it will result in the re-
tention of the strong for military
duty, and the sending over of the
weak and comparatively helpless.
If the government should compel
steamship companies to carry back
paupers and other ineligibles at their
own expense, the evil now threat
ening the country would be greatly
mitigated. But the whole subject
is one that demands from Congress
the most deliberate and scientific
treatment.-N. Y. World.

There is not an industry in the
United States which cannot produce
as cheaply as the foreign, or in which
normal competition would not bring
the domestic price as low as the for
eign; but admitting that in some in
dustries the domestic competition
cannot get the price as low as the
foreign, and that the duty shuts
out foreign competition at least,
ought not these industries to be pro-
tected by a duty? Answer one
question with another. If they are
80 few in number that the members
can form private trust and fix the
selling price, ought the protection
to exceed the actual difference as
judicially determined by an imparti-
al investigation, and if they are so
many in number that they cannot
combine, would not the actual diff
ference be all they would require?
If the difference is 10 per cent
and no industry in the United States
ever offered proof that there was 5
per CENTS not the so per cent.
granted a Trust simply theft of
40 per cent, and if granted those
who cannot form a Trust 40 per
cent, counterfeit, mere green-goods?
Is not all Protection granted to
Trusts simply theft when the do
nestle competition, if the trusts
were dissolved, would keep out for
eign goods by lower domestic prices?
If the duty is imposed not to keep
out foreign goods, but to make an
American Trust possible, is it not
all, every cent, theft? Is there a
protected industry in the United
States which exports it's products,
selling them in foreign markets,
that is unable by competition and
without duty to keep out foreign
products? Is there one where the
duty is imposed for any other pur-
pose than to enable them to form a
trust and charge the American more
than they charge the foreigner?
Every protected industry in the
United States represented in the
Protective Tariff League exports it's
products and is reaching for foreign
exchange markets. Every one Of
the industries represented by the
$50 trusts has the duty imposed to
preserve the Trust, and for no other
reason. Without the Trust the
duty would be worthless.-Ex.

rs MIR. Porter gives them:

The increase in the private usury
tax is here shown to be over 100 pei
cent. for the ten years-at the end
of which the Mckinley bill
was passed, imposing heavier burdens
on the exchange Of all surplus of
Illinois. OF the annual usury tax
not over 25 per cent. falls OH Chi
cago, and all is withdrawn from
Illinois labor. 1t does not include
interest on railroad bonds or the
bonds of such like public corpora
tions or on public indebtedness of
any kind.
This, too, is very heavy, but what
is now being considered is the annual
usury tax, exclusive of all this. And
after the figures are cut down as
low as possible, the Monopoly Cen
sus Bureau is obliged to confess that
the people Of Illinois paid from their
labor in 1889 $137, 100000 of annu-
al usury tax as tribute to monop-
oly--this altogether aside from their
taxes for interest on county, State
and municipal debt; aside from
their taxes for county, State and
schools; aside from the interest they
pay on railroad bonds of other like
corporations, and aside from what
they pay in tariff and internal rev.
enue taxes to support the Billion
Dollar extravaganza of District of
Columbia tax consumers.
This yearly usury tax of $751;
100000 on the people of Illinois
stands for the labor of 100000
at 81 a day for 1877 days in the 800
of the year. For every able-bodied
worker at the average dollar-a-day
rate of the Republican tariff system
there are five dependents. So that
these /, 100000 workers required to
work over third of each year to
pay this annual usury tax stands
for population of 100000. The
of Illinois is 100000
by the Porter census. So that to
pay this annual interest tax at 81 a
day would require the labor Of more
heads of families than there are in
Illinois for 1877 days in every 365.
These figures mean a great deal.
They are worth remembering.

The Way to Win.

There are more Democrats, says
the New York World, than Repub-
licans in this country.
The States in which the Democrats
outnumber the Republicans have a
majority of the electoral votes.
If all the Democrats vote next
fall for the Democratic candidates
the next President and the next
Congress will be Democratic.
All the Democrats will vote for
the Democratic candidates unless
factional strife shall prevent. The
Republicans cannot win the election
from united Democracy, because
they have not votes enough. But
a divided Democracy may lose an
election by dissension breeding re-
volt or Indifference.
The condition of Democratic
success is harmony. 1t is the duty
of every Democrat to work for that
and to make sacrifices for it il nee
essary.
1t will be the duty of the Nation
al Convention to select candidates
whose nomination will unite the
factions, put an end to strife and
secure the whole Democratic vote.
That will make victory in Novem-
Der foregone conclusion i'll June.
