ANOTHER COPPER TRUST.

Producers Have Agreed to Restrict Pro-
duction After July 1.
The New York Daily Commercial Bull
letin of June 16 says: "After long pc
riod of negotiation the producers Of cop
per in Europe and the United States
have arrived at an agreement to restrict
production after July next. The Ameri-
can producers have agreed to restrict
their exports of copper to Europe, in con-
sideration for which the Spanish produ-
GERS have pledged themselves to cut
down their production per cent. The
object of this agreement is of course to
bring about higher level of prices"
Whether or not the producers can sue
cessfully hold together to put prices
back where they were during the exist
ence of the great copper combine in
1889, it is certain that there has been
left for them duty Of II cents per
pound, which was about all Mckinley
could do to invite another copper trust to
repeat the outrage perpetrated in 1889
upon the American people. 1t will be
remembered that in 1889 the copper trust

Henry George on Indirect Taxation

Henry George on Indirect Taxation.
In Henry Georges" Protection or Free
Trade" which is just now being extern
sively circulated by members Of con-
gross, the author thus clearly shows
how oppressively Indirect taxes-and
especially tariff taxes-hear upon the
poor, while the rich almost entirely es-
cape: IA still more important objection
to indirect taxation is that when i'm.
posed on articles Of general use (and it
is only from such articles that large
revenues can be had) it bears with far
greater weight on the poor than on the
rich. Since such taxation falls on peo-
pie not according to what they have but
according to what they consume, it is the
heaviest ON those whose consumption is
largest in proportion to their means.
Gas much sugar is needed to sweeten q
cup Of tea for working girl as for the
richest lady in the land, but the proper
ton of their means which tax on sugar
compels each to contribute to the govern
ment in the case Of the one is much
greater than in the case of the other.
So it is with all taxes that increase the
cost Of articles of general CONSUMPTION.

REIGN OF THE PLUTocRATs.

sold American copper so much cheaper
in Europe that it was reimported and
sold at profit here after paying duty
of four cents per pound, and from April
to August, 1889, the foreign price never
exceeded eight cents and the domestic
price was never less than twelve cents.
But for the duty no such difference could
have existed and the effects Of the French
syndicate upon our industries would have
been as slight as they were upon Europe
an industries.
The effect of high prices for raw ma
terials of any kind Is farreaching and
disastrous. How the consumers of cop
per were affected by the high prices Of
1883 is described by James Powell, presi-
dent of the Union Brass company, of
Cincinnati, in The Engineering and
Mining Journal of Jan. 10, 1889:
"When the syndicate began brass
workers all over the country were fully
employed at good wages, and while the
demand for goods may not have been
kept up at all times with the same vigor,
yet the price of the raw material was
such as to afford living profit to the
copper producer only.
1.-THE consumption of brass goods for
steam, water and gas has fallen off from
25 to 40 per cent, with no immediate
prospect of an Improvement The ma
nipulations of the combine have been the
most disastrous calamity for the general
copper consuming industries of this
country that has ever befallen them"
AS evidence that the American end of
this agreement" is made in good faith,
it is reported from Marquette, Mich,
that general strike is imminent at the
great Calumet and Hecla copper mine.
The company instead of acknowledging
openly that they intend to restrict pro-
duction by closing the mine, announce
that they will discharge all employees
who are members of the Knights Of
Labor or of any other labor organization.
They know that this will not only pre-
cipitate long struggle that will restrict
production, but it will give them an OPP
portunity to utilize cheap "scab" labor
when they are ready to resume opera
lions, and perhaps to starve some of the
strikers into accepting lower wages.

Now that the fashionable world is, so to
speak, out of town, hunting, tennis and
other outdoor sports are in order. Ac-
cording to Manners, the etiquette, when
taking part in hunting, shooting, fishing,
ETC., is quickly learned by those interested
in them. For instance, any man chosen to
be master of the hounds would be one who
had such experience in the hunting field
that the duties attending his new position
would be easily understood by him.
1t is customary in sections Of the country
where hounds meet for any of the residents
interested in the sport to give hunt" or
inject" breakfast during the season to the
master of the hounds and to all corners.
This breakfast ought to be an informal af-
fair, the food being much the same as
would be offered at any ordinary morning
entertainment.
Tennis clubs and athletic associations,
each and ALL usually have clearly defined
rules, which ought to be carefully read
andfollowed by everybody DESTROYS of con-
ncction with them.

should be equally divided. The refresh

DIFFERENCE IN wAeesp FARCE.

Our Farmers Now Compete with the
Lowest Paid Labor on Earth.
Here is food for reflection for the
farmer who still thinks he is voting
money In his pocket when he votes for
1protection." If he will ponder this fact
sufRciently he viii solve the whole tariff
problem. It is quoted from Recent
economic Changes" by David A. Wells:
"Indian corn can be successfully and
has been extensively raised In Italy.
But Indian corn grown In the valley of
tho Mississippi, thousand miles from
The seaboard, has been transported in re-
emit years to Italy and sold in her mar
kes ct q lower cost than the corn Of
Lombardy and Venetia, where the wages
Of the sgriculturist are not one-third Of
tho wages paid in the United States for
corresponding labor. And one not sur
prismg sequel of this is that N 900 Ital-
IAN laborers emigrated to the United
States in 1885," !
In other grains and food products and
IN cotton it is the same. The 81 and 90
and g day labor Of the United States
completes with the cheap labor of Eu-
rope and Asia and often undersells it in
II own markets. Thus wheat can be
produced in Dakota, where wages are
y sdsy, at 40 cents per bushel, though
itcsnnot be produced in Rhenish Prus-
Ia for less than 80 cents; but wages
there are only So per month. As to
England, her wheat growers have been
driven out Of existence by our dear
labor and India and Russia's cheap
labor.
Such facts as these must settle the
question forever with rational minds as
to whether or not wages determine cost
ofproduction. They did not do so fifty
years ago, when high wage Europe was
supplying low wage Asia with many
manufactured articles. Still less do
they do so now, when, with modern
machinery and methods, one man or q
boy will produce as much as ten men
fifty years ago. What folly, then, to
ny that ION all imports coming in COM
petition with the products of American
labor there should be levied duties equal
to the difference between wages at home
and abroad" And yet this is the serious
declaration Of the Republican party in
ib Minneapolis platform, and it poses
e the party Of Nineteenth century civil
hzation.
These Republicans persist in shutting
their eyes to facts. If Mckinley had
consulted tables of labor cost in differ
ent articles in different countries and
had made tariff rates only high enough
TO put American and foreign goods on a
par In our markets as to labor cost, his
rates would not have been one-tenth as
high as now. But instead of consulting
figures he asked the manufacturers how
much duty they wished, and, as Con-
gresham Wilson has shown, practically
left blanks for manufacturers to fill out;
and they often made duties higher than
the total cost of production in any coun-
try-all for the benefit Of the poor wage
Garner, Of course.
Some day the voting consumers will
have intelligence and spunk enough to
suggest to the manufacturer that 1t is
uzne for him to remove his hand from
their pockets.

Nuts for Protectionists to Crack.

Il, as protectionists tell us, wages de-
pend upon tariffs, then, as we have the
same tariff in all parts of the United
ntates, it would be natural to conclude
mat wages should be uniform from
Maine to California. The Foundry
mems association, of Philadelphia, after
q considerable amount of correspond
ence, has compiled a tabulated state
ment of wages paid in foundries Of the
United States printed in The Iron Age
OF May 90, 1892. Some of the figures
are from country foundries, others from
car wheel, stove and malleable iron and
! pipe shops, etc. According to this table
me average wages of molders vary from
200 per day in San Francisco and Oak
land, CAL, to $1.6O in Hagerstown, Md.
a few Of the other averages are: In
Pittsburg, $3; Conshohocken, Pa,
yasSH; Philadelphia, $3.50; Chester,
"a. $40; York, Pa, $40; Reading,
"; Allentown, Pa, $1.90; Bloomsbury,
"a, $1.75; Denver, 1925; New York and
Brooklyn, s.; Chicago, $2.75; Charleston,
yS.60; Portsmouth, N. H., 1925; Elmira,
NJ Y, 81; Wilmington, Del, $1.85. The
average wages of coremakers vary from
$3.50 In Leadville, Colo, and $3.25 in
San Francisco, to $1.25 in Elmira and
Brockport, N. Y, and Selma, Ala; Of
cupola tenders, from $3.50 in Oakland,
CAL, to 81 in several southern cities; of
clippers, from $3.50 in Leadville, Colo.
to rs cents in Athens, Ga.
Will some kind and logical protection
ist please explain these discrepancies?
Will he also inform us how 1t is that the
highly paid labor in eastern cities COM
petes with the poorly paid labor in
neighboring cities and in the south, and
turns out his product cheaper than the
poorly paid labor can turn out their
product? He might also give his reasons
for thinking that New York laborers
need protection from the pauper labor
of Canada and none from the pauper la
Dor of Maryland, and why tariff wall
should not be constructed on the ALLIE
ghany mountains to protect the three
dollar-a-day laborer Of Pittsburg from
the two-dollar-a-day laborer of Reading
and Harrisburg. Such apparent incon-
nstencies as these are daily occurring to
many untutored minds, and it behooves
me protectionist to be on the alert with
ample, straightforward arguments to
dispel them.

Do Birds Like Bright Colorsa

In order to test both the intelligence and
color sense of birds Dr. G. c. Abbott once
placed several wooden threads-red, yellow,
green, purple and gray-near tree in
which a pair of Baltimore orioles were
building their nest. Except in point of
color the pieces of yarn were exactly alike,
and their number was the same, but the
red and yellow were Intentionally placed on
the top to attract attention. 1t was found
that the birds used all the gray and little
of the purple, the bright colors being
Stunned as likely to make their home too
conspicuous. That they were especially
anxious to prevent their nest from being
easily noticeable DR.. Abbott proved in an
other way. By heating the branches he
shriveled up the leaves and exposed the
nests to view. Although in some cases eggs
had been laid the birds left their homes.
In few nests that already contained young
ones the orioles showed the strength of the
parental instinct by continuing to feed the
babies until they were able to take care OF
themselves, in spite of the fact that the
nests were visible.
