The Democratic administration gives
forth decision that p arl buttons shaped
and polished abroad, and all omllpted
except the drilling of thread holes or
the attaching of shanks. are produced
in this country. and thus they ESCAPE
duty. But for the sake of keeping down
the amount of tin plates produced in this
country. has its assistant secretary rule
thai tin plates are not produced here if
the black plates which enter into their
composition are imported. Thus are
these rulings contradictory and iucon-
>is,ent. In one thing the rulings of the
Officials of ClcVcland's administration
may be counted upon with entire conf
dence, viz: They will be against the
best Interests of American industries,
if it is within the range of human posi-
bility to make them so.
