Points From Great Britain.

The Irish Textile Journal, published
in Belfast, prints q letter from a CORE
spondent showing how the foreign linen
industry is favored by the Wilson bill.
and with its passage it says 1.-THE tomb
stone may he set over the grave Of the
American linen industry" The Man
chester Textile Manufacturer deprecates
too much truth telling for fear it may
hinder the passage of the Wilson bill.
1t says: "a good many opinions and
good many valuable figures have been
kept back because Bradford men fear
that capital will be made Of them by
American Republicans" But it's 10y
over the free wool clause cannot be con-
tanned, and it adds: "There is 100 pei
cent less duty on the manufactured ar
ticle from Bradford, and the American
manufacturer will get only % cents con-
cession on his wool for the two pounds
that produce yard of cloth. How, I'M
der such circumstances, can the free
wool clause hurt the Bradford manufac-
turer? Press.

AMERICAN TIN PLATE.

Here Is One Large Firm That Buys Some
and Says II Is Good Too.
Up to late last fall we have purchased
all Of our tin plates in Wales. Along in
November we bought 900 boxes of tin
plates from the American Tin Plate com
pany, Elwood, Ind. They cost us just
8 cents per box less than we could have
imported them for. The quality was
excellent, and our canmakers We're well
pleased with the plates. In the manu-
facture Of our cans last year it required
over 10000 boxes of tin plate. This sea-
son we propose to use all domestic
plates. 1t will only be a short time be-
fore the competition between American
manufacturers will bring down the
price to a lower figure than they can be
made in Wales and imported without
duty, or nearly.

Boss-HeIlo, hello, John! How do you

Boss-How is that, John? You got your

John-Yes, but they keep everything
they get. They give nothing to people
like me.
Boss-I thought you were going to get
an Office. You worked hard for the party.
John-They promised me job, but
the boss had too many friends. When
his city relations We're supplied, he sent
to the old country for more. They are
coming yet.
Boss-But they'll take care of you by

John Rigdon was always a clean,

When he came up and received a loaf of

''John,' I said, you here! How is

teen hundred of us are out Of work at
Amsterdam. The tariff is to be lowered.
they say, and knit goods will come in
from Chemnitz, Germany, cheaper than
we can make them here. They work for
So week in Chemnitz, and we used to
get $12 in Amsterdam
''Do you think our old so per cent
tariff increased your wages?" I asked.
''Why, yes. Wegot 400 per cent more
wages in Amsterdam than they do in
Germany. How else could we have got
it?"
'But they say, Rigdon, that wages de-
pend upon demand and supply" said.
Eyes, but what demand would there
be for knit shirts made at 50 day when
you could import them from Germany
made by 80 cent labor? The tariff keeps
that cheap labor out
'Then what will be the effect in Am
sterdam if the Wilson bill lowers the
tariff 20 per cent on knit goods?"
"Our wages will have to go down 100
per cent" said John. 1--WE boys will
have to stand the cut, or the factory will
stop. If 80 per cent tariff gives four
times the wages paid in Germany, why,
