Tin Plate and the Now Tari1.
shorn In a da

The initial effects of the new tin
plate tariff are shown in the closing
down Of all the smaller tin plate dip
ping" works in this vicinity a proceed
ing which will, daibtless, generally be
followed by these establishments in
other quarters. The ground seems to
have been completely cut from under
the feet Of these and similarly placed
establishments, unless, indeed, the
price Of domestic black sheets is very
materially reduced; as, under the re-
vised tariff, they cannot afford to buy
the imported article and dip 1t, SO as to
sell their product in competition with
the foreign tin plates imported under
the new duty Of ID cents per pound.
The only other way Of escape for the
American dipper making the cheaper
grades of plates would be il the Welsh
manufacturers plucked up courage to
raise their prices for the finished plates
sufficiently high to approximate the
possible prices at which American
black plates a be protitably coated
and sold here. 1t seems hardly likely,
however, that our Welsh competitors
would pursue so shortsighted a curse
in respect to their interests after
all they have suffered from the recent
restriction Of American orders. The
Iron Age.

The German tariff bill is the law of
the land. Let it be enforced. 1t will
be remembered that Immediately prior
to its passage in the senate, Senator
Morgan introduced a series of resolu-
tions determining the ilIegality of every
combination, conspiracy, trust, agree
ment or contract between two or more
persons that would restrain lawful
trade or free competition, or increase
the price of any mark etable commodity.
The penalty is fixed at a fine ranging
from 500 to $4,000, and Imprisonment
for a term varying from three to twelve
months. The attorney general is di-
rected to institute proceedings through
the several district attorneys of the

A Loss TO Lumbermen.

The threat Of free trade in lumber
has completely demoralizcd the lumber
trade in every section CT the country.
There has been stagnation in the build
ing trade, which, together with the
uncertainty as to future values caused
by delay in the tariff settlement, has
naturally curtailed the output of the
mills. AS a consequence there have
been many idle lumbermen ana their
wages have falle... Two years ago the
lumbermen in Georgia were earning
from 81 to SIP per day, butlately they
have been only receiving from 20 to IS
cents for a full days work. They find
that the loss of two or three dollars in
q weeks wages does not compensate
them for any cheapness there may be
in the price of goods. They begin to
appreciate that protection for lumber
is also protection for lumbermen. and
they wonder if the mere fear of free
trade has already caused a loss of two
or three dollars a week in their earn
ings what free trade itself will do.
This ''object lesson" is bringing the
southern lumbermen over to the side
Of protection.

thai the German bill was but the first
step in the onward march to tariff re-
form, and, what it involves, the glori-
tication of trusts.
As Don as congress meets again in

so the war will be waged con inuously

not predict whether any such perfec-

brought to the support Of the demo
cratic party we fear that their COM
bined arrogance and wealth may cause
a speedier contamination of demo-

eventuate.

The Same Old Democratic Policy thss

ton.
1 would be pleased 20 have you inform me the
relative eject the Wilson bill will have upon
the prices OF naval stores, lumber and cotton.
j. w. STEVENS.
The tendency Of the Wilson bill is to
cheapness. 1t aims to cheaper every
thing, including labor. If naval stores
can be bought cheaper, then the man
who sells them must sell cheaper. and
he will have to sell more in order to
make the same profits that he formerly
made. If his profits are less he must
reduce his expenses. He cannot afford
10 pay as much rent as heretofore, nor
as high wage to his help. This has
already been experienced in Georgia
where laborers who two years ago were
receiving from S?2 to SIS every four
weeks are now only getting from SO
to $50 for doing the same amount OF
work.
In the case Of lumber the American
market will be disastrously affected by
free trade. Canadian lumber will pour
into all the northern and eastern seq
tions of the country, because wages ara
cheaper in Canada. Our lumber mills
in the north and east must either close
down or reduce their wages. n seek
markets further south. The owners,
having all their money invested in THEN
mills, are likely to adopt the latter
course. This will force their supply OF
lumber into southern markets, where
the trade is now held by southern mills.
These in turn must reduce their wages
and profits in order to hold any part OF
their business. The general cheaper
ing Of wages and the number Of idle
people through the large importation
of foreign goods under free trade will
decrease the prosperity Of the people.
There will be less building, and conse-
quen.ly less demand for lumber.
In the case Of raw cotton the price is
mainly regulated by the supply. A
short crop means high prices and a
large crop e low prices. But with
the tariff on cotton goods reduced we
will buy more cotton goods of foreign
manufacture. This will check the out
put of tn American cotton mills
There will be idle hands and the r
plus OF labor will cause "A decline in its
value. The mill hands who are earn
ing nothing, or lower wages, must buy
less from the stores, and thus general
trade will be affected. ~Cheapness in
one thing means cheapness in others,
and 'cheapand nasty" invariably travel
hand in hand.
