CORRUPTION UNEARTHED.

What the New York Custom House In
vestigation Is Revealing.
The commission to investigate the
custom house, though il has only be-
gun its work. has already uncovered
great heaps of rottenness. Under val
nations. favoritism. bribery. perjury
these are the sins that have their head
quarters in the custom house and that
flourish in every department. II is i'm
possible to tell from the conflicting tes-
timony thus far taken in the appraisers
department who the perjurers re and
who are most guilty. 1t is oni Scertain
that the department that appraises
threc-fourths of the s400. 900, 900 worth
of dutiable goods that enter our ports
annually, is a len Of corruption. 1t is
also quite certain that the imports of
New York City are terrorized by the
custom house officers who can, BY fav-
oritism. make or brake an importing
merchant. As past Investigations of
this kind have been a farce, in that
they did not lead to the discharge of
officials who We're proven guilty OF fav-
oritism in the valuation of goods or who
maliciously detained goods at the GUS
tom house until they had lost much Of
their value, the merchants now believe
that the present investigation will lead
to nothing except TO call down upon
their heads the wrath of the officials
against whom the merchants testify.
Hence the importers, who have goods
passing through the custom house
nearly every week. hesitate to incur the
displeasure Of the appraisers by sub
hitting testimony against them.
Asan evidcnc of the kind of discrimina-
tons made by the appraisers we quote
some of the appraisements of silk hand
kerchicfs, alleged to have been. of iden'
teal quality, imported by rival firms:

Our Tin Plate Industry ~ sized Tn nv
Foreigners.

Our Tin Plate Industry rs Sized Tn nv
Foreigners.
A detailed report from the BIRTHS h
embassy at Washington to its home
government, ON the effect of the Me-
kinley tariff ON the tin plate industry
OF the United States. has recently been
issued by the British foreign Office.
The conclusions which Mr.. Herbert.
the writer. draws from the facts and
premises and statistics he produces are
curious reading, when placed along
side the reports Of Special Agent Aver,
on the same subject. They summarize
a. follows ~ That the promises Of
the promoters of the tin plate schedule
Of the Mckinley act have not been full
filed; ca that little American tin plate
of any kind has hitherto been offered
on the market commercially: CD that
IL Col. Ayers figures are correct, and
$4,000, 900 pounds odd of tin plate have
been manufactured in the United
States. the American consumer has had
20 pay, roughly speaking. about 81 in
duties for every one pound manufact-
ured; "a that the Mckinley act
has advanced the price Of tin plate
about 81 per box; o. that il has dam
aged the canning industries Of the
United States; o. that it has stimulat-
ed the importation of black plates
for thinning: ca that imports of tin
plates from the United Kingdom have
not in reality fallen off. as has been
stated, but really show signs Of increas-
ing. Nevertheless, "a new industry in
the manufacture of tin plates NAV be
said to have been started in the United
States. IL may be looked upon as an
experiment; ii is yet in its infancy. and
it is at present almost entirely con
fined to dipping imported sheets
still, coarser kinds Of tin plate Of bona
fide American manufacture are being
turned out, and there appears TO be no
reason why the present difficulties as
10 price and quality in the
construction of fine black plates
ready for timing should not be
overcome in course of time. provided
the present dr.... he maintained. All
the raw materials necessary for the
production Of tin plate can be obtained.
The rolling mills in the United States
are now producing nearly 100000 tons
per year of the heavier kinds of sheet
iron and steel, and it surely will not be
ing before American ingenuity, aided
by a bounty of ? 2-10 cents per pound,
will discover the mechanical rsS,cess
necessary for rolling at prohtab BILE
price sheets Of n thinner trat,va nd a
letter quality, such as are required for
the manufacture of fine tin plates But
whether the industry prove To be sue
cess or merely an experiment. it will be
long before more tin plate is produced
than will be absorbed by the constant.
ly increasing consumption in the coun.
try. and il will probably be years be-
fore the English product will be Sc
riously affected by the Mckinley act
or by the new industry under the best
of circumstances. N. y. Daily Com

fails to interest and hold-but his dar-
ing campaign during an off year Is at
tracing considerable attention and
comment from both democratic and re-

Is evident that they are trembling in
their boots while the Reform club is do
ing the same kind of work there that
made Wisconsin. Illinois and Connecti-
cut democratic and nearly upset the
republican party in Ohio, Rhode Island
and Massachusetts
The Reform club has issued q chal.
lenge, open tn all corners, to debate the
question of protection or Tariff for
Revenue Only" in a non-partisan way,
with Mr.. Estell. Mr.. Estell will give
up half of his time at any Of his meet
ings, or special meetings will be ar
ranged for. This will give the patriotic
manufacturers, who favor protection
for the sake of their employees only, an
opportunity To demonstrate theoretic-
ally what they have failed to demon
strate in practice, especially since Nc
Kinleyism became supreme, how pro-
lection to the manufacturer operates to
raise the general level of wages
Hon. +. Ellery Anderson. chairman
of the Reform club committee on tariff
reform, in explaining the object of the
meetings in New Hampshire. said:
Last year the question that we put
to the people at our meetings WAS
whether protection was desirable. The
questions that we now present to them
are what kind of tariff should be i'm
posed by our laws? How much reduc-
ton should be made in the schedules
of the Mckinley tariff? Should ad
valorem duties bc substituted for spe-
cifc duties, and if not, what exceptions
should be made TO this rule in read.
justment of the tariff schedule? What
effect will alterations proposed in the
tariff bill OF the Reform club, or any
other bill. have upon established plants
and industries"
special inquiry will be directed to
ascertain what effect the bill proposed
by the Reform club will have on wages.
The proposition that we are prepared
to maintain is that it will bring about
an increase of wages rather than de-
crease by increasing the number OF
productive employments."

FREE WOOL.

A Remark Dropped by Secretary Carlisle
Has Given Protectionists the JIM
jams.
The remark which Secretary Carlisle
is said to- have dropped recently. that
free wool would be seen within six
months after the meeting Of congress-
has moved some of the protectionist
papers to a premature fit of Mysteries
All such displays they should reserve,
to give them greater effect. until the
bill to make wool free is actually under
discussion. Meanwhile, it may be well
to remark that there are some Aneri-
cans, in addition to the wicked class OF
consumers, who are only afraid that
free wool will not be Forthcoming.
They are referred to in the last report
OF Consul Baker, who has been sta
TONED at Buenos Ayres for twenty
years Speaking Of the remarkable
collapse" Of trade between the United
States and Argentina, and answering
the question how that trade could be
increased. he writes:
Il can only reiterate what | have
heretofore SO often said. and do 50 AT
the request of American merchants
dealing with the River Plate, in the
hope-which they express-that some
thing may be done to ease up the situa-
ton and give them the chance of q
market for Argentine woods in the
United States. There is no doubt that
il would have marked effect upon our
commerce with this country--not mere
ly in respect to the amount OF ship
ments from here, but, what is more inn
portant to us, in the increase Of the
imports hither of our manufactured
