what Enabled the Tin Plate Men to In

Those who strenuously advocated the
increase in the duty on tin plate from
one cent TO two and two-tenth cents
per pound, ha two objects in view:
First-To make tin and terne plate
so high that the nsume OF these
articles for roofing and other purposes
would be forced into the use Of galvau-
ized and other sheet iron and steel in
steal. and
Second-To compel the large con-
summers OF tin plate to establish terne-
ing plants and become the customers
of the sheet iron and steel manufact-
urers. Every one ~conversant with the
iron interest knows hat this is true.

The Pauner Labor Germ.

II the Republican party-that is, the
protected manufacturers-really want
to legislate to protect American work
men against the pauper labor OF Europe,
it will ask its president to continue in
definitely the twenty days quarantine
now placed on passengers from Europe.
The immigrants have nothing TO sell
when they land here but labor, and the
continual stream Of this commodity
pouring into this country tends TO keep
wages down to the European level, just
as certain as several connected bodies
Of water will tend TO common level.
Break the connection and it is possible
for one body Of water TO become and re-
main higher than the others. Stop i'm
migration and it is possible for wages
piece wages-to become and remain
higher here than in Europe. There is
some doubt, however, if this is the In
tentiOn Of the manufacturers. The last
thing they would think Of doing would
be to put up barriers between theirmills
and the cheap labor Of Europe. IL
European labor is cheaper than Amer
ican they want free access 10 it, and
they have it and use it to displace Amer
ican labor. Don't stop immigration"
says Andrew Carnegie; "there is room
here and work for all immigrants"
And the laborers have been thirty years
in getting their eyes open so that they
could see this big humbugl
