The Rorax Trust.

All the borax obtained in this country
comes from Utah, Nevada, California,
Oregon and Washington. 1t is for the
most part dug out Of the ground in a
marketable condition. The labor en-
ployed is Chinese. The foreign article
is obtained from the lagoons of Tuscany
and has to be crystallized, transported
to England, refined and then shipped
here, AS there was no earthly excuse
for any protection" the consumers
meat packers, soapmakers, etc. made
an attempt to have the duty removed in
1890. Mckinley reduced the duty on
crude borax from cents to 3 cents per
pound, but raised the duty on boracic
acid, the form in which borax is gener-
ally imported, from A to cents per
pound. AS might be expected, there is
q borax trust, headed by r. M. Smith of
California, which about five years ago
got control Of nine-tenths of the produc-
ing mines, and as might also have been
expected this trust was not slow to util-
ize their protection" Four days after
the bill went into effect it raised the
price, which had been st@8f cents per
pound in August and September. to 81
@94 cents. This price has been main
tanned since then. The way to break
this is the way to break hundreds of
other monopolies abolish the tariff SO

one is the original shee sign which set all

We Can rnderseu the Foreign Article Il
Spite Of High Wages.
Readers Of the Philadelphia Manufac-
turer, which is the weekly organ of the
high tariff association over which Mr..
Thomas Dolan presides, do not common
ly expect to find in the columns Of that
journal such facts and arguments as are
used by the opponents of McKinleyism.
For this reason they must have been sur
prised, and many of them may have
been shocked, when they saw the follow
ing in the number published on the 18th
inst:
"Messrs. Craven Bros. Of the Salem
glass works, Salem, N. j., are about
shipping five carloads Of glass bottles to
England by steamer of the White Star
line. This, it is stated, is the first time
that bottles manufactured in this coun-
try will be brought into competition
with the English made article in its own
market. The first shipment will include
1000 gross of long necked bottles. They
will be packed in boxes made to hold
two gross each. The order was received
by cable from Lea g. Perrin, manufac-
turers of Worcestershire sauce. The
workmen engaged in the manufacture OF
these bottles earn on an average s. pei
day, but by reason Of their superior skill
Messrs. Craven claim that they can com,
pete in the English market with the
cheapest manufacturers abroad and fur.
nish much better bottles than the Eng
ish can make"
We are informed by the manufactur.
ers that the bottles in question were
shipped on the day when Mr.. Cleveland
was inaugurated.
The loyal supporters of Mr.. Dolan's
association and its weekly organ will see
at once that these two paragraphs are
loaded with dangerous heresies. In the
first place, these manufacturers in New
Jersey are able not only to sell bottles in
England at prices lower than those OF
English manufacturers, in spite of the
handicap imposed by ocean freight
charges, but also to undersell in the
English market the manufacturers who
employ ''cheap labor" in Belgium and
Germany.
And yet Mr.. Dolan's association and
all the followers of Mckinley have in
sisted that the manufacturers Of glass
bottles in this country must be protected
against the competition of the German
and Belgian and English manufacturers
here at home by high tariff duties. y If
our manufacturers can undersell the
manufacturers of Europe in the English
market, where they must meet them on
even terms, without the assistance of a
protective duty, why can they not un-
dersell them here at home without the
aid of tariff tax?
The workmen who make these bottles
are paid $5 per day, but this does not
prevent the sale of the bottles in England
in competition with bottles made in Bel
gium or Germany, where the wages are
much lower. The American manufac-
turers assert that they are enabled so to
compete by the superior skill Of their
well paid employees. The workmen re-
ceive higher wages here because their
work is worth more. Here is suggested
another heretical tenet which has often
been attacked and derided by the profess
ors Of McKinleyism. Duties on glass
bottles average about 10 per cent.-New
York Evening Post.

WarTn Canada.

The good effect of the battle of Nov. 8,
1899, will extend to all the countries Of
the world and throughout all time. TAX
ing heart from the victory of patriotism
and enlightened self interest in this coun-
try over plutocracy and blind selfshness,
the good and overtaxed people of Canada
are now waging the same war against
protection" and greed that was waged
here last year. The Manitoba and North
western members of the Canadian parlia-
ment have agreed unanimously to sup
port Mr.. Davin's motion to put barbed
wire, farm implements, binder twine,
coal oil and cotton on the free list. Many
heretofore conservative members and
papers have come out against protection.
But perhaps the most significant thing Of
all is the action of the central farmers
institute at its annual convention, which
has just closed in Toronto. They passed
unanimously the following comprehen-
sive resolution, which explains itself:
That whereas the farmers of Canada during
the last 10 years have largely supported pro-
tective policy for the purpose of establishing
and building up the manufacturing interests
OF this country, and whereas such manufac-
turing industries as are suitable for this coun-
try have received such assistance for period
long enough to enable them now to Withstand
fair and open competition, and whereas the
Canadian Manufacturers association at its
annual meeting held In Toronto. Feb. Z, de-
clares and reaff1rms its determination to sup
port and perpetuate the high tariff policy, be 1t
therefore resolved that this meeting hereby
declares and afflrms that to continue and per-
petuate such high tariff policy will be detri-
mental to the vital interests Of the agricultural
community; that we are OF the opinion that the
time has come for. the adoption of free trade
with Great Britain and the same privilege to
