Ion ms Exactlons HurL Labor.

The New York Tribune apologies
for the demand by a number of manu-.
facturers of tin plates that their work
men should accept a reduction Of
wages on the ground that the prices
of steel billets, the raw material of the
mills which roll the plates for timing,
has recently been increased. This,
says the Tribune, was the result OF the
great billet trust formed on April
of last year.
While the Tribune's statement ex.
plains the action of the tin plate
makers, it does not Justify them in
seeking to reduce wages. Their real
romedy against the exactions of the
billet producers is to smash the trust,
which EFFORTS higher prices than trade
conditions warrant. This can only be
done by abolishing the duty on foreign
billets, which would at once break up
the trust by allowing tin plate makers
to get their raw material in the cheap
est markets. The tariff protection of
So per ton is what supports the
billet trust.
The thousands OF workers in tin
plate factories, who are threatened
with lower wages, will find no hope Of
relief in the election OF Mckinley. If
the Republicans restore the tariff OF
1890 the duties ON steel will be made
still higher. This will strengthen the
billet trust and enable it to charge
more for its products. 1.-THE thu plate
manufacturers are forced to pay higher
prices they will try to get even by
making more wage reductions. So
that the result ofincreased tariff du.
ties will be higher prices for steel, big
ger profits for the trusts, and lower
wages for labor. Not very strong
argument in favor of Mckinley.

ANNEXATION AND MsgIvLEYIsn
Republican Ineousisiency IN Regard

that "Wo look forward 10 the ulti.
mate union OF en- English-speaking
parts Of the continent hy tha free con.
sent OF It's inhabitants " This was in.
tended as a squirt IN tho direction Of
the annexation Of Canada.
The party which pretcnds TO favor
low prices yet makes goods dear by
high taxes, and which claims 30 want
tariff high enough to shut ont Oh
foreign products, and yet talks OF coll
lecung revenues from imports, is con.
sistently inconsistent in advocating
annexation. Ia order 70 create preiu-
dice against the Wilson law the no.
hinleyite shouters and writer's are
everywhere denouncing tho tariff re-.

lured our farmers by allowing
Canadian farm products 10 come into
this country. All good Republicans
are united In declaring that we cannot
compete with the cheap meat, grains.
bay, eggs, ETC., Of Canada, aud in de-
manding still higher tariffs to shut
those articles out OF our markets.
II Canadian competition is such a
bad thing why do the Republicans
want to increase IL? Why do thew
want to abolish all tariffs between
Canada and the United States? If q
tariff with duties averaging over forty
one per cent. viii not keep out the
products OF the people to our North,
what would be the result OF absolute
free trade? Americans are told that
they will oil be ruined by pauper

neighbors, who want to trade with us.
And yet the party OF Mckinley adj
vocates polioYwhich would leave us
with no tariff wall at oil for three
thousand miles along our northern
boundary.
Surely this is treason to the grand
principle Of National hatred, sectional
jealousy and the home market OK
clusively for ourselves. II we cannot
compete with Canadian producers an
nexation would certainly ruin US.
Either the "union OF the English
speaking peoples" plank ia wrong OF
else the high tariff declaration is a
humbug. It is for the Republicans

BRYAN WILL BE FAIR.
Nebraskan Cannot Say About Accept
Ing the Popullst Nomination.

Ing the PODutist Nomination.
A special from Lincoln, Neb., says:
Mr.. William J. Bryan told the Southern
Associated Press reporter that his ac-
ton with regard to the popuhst ma
tional ticket would depend entirely
upon the conditions attached to his
nomination. In answer to a question
concerning the matter he said;
When the populists decided to nom
mate the vice president first, Senator
Jones, chairman of the national demo-
cratic committee, wired me as follows:
"Populists nominate vice president
first. II not Sewall what shall we do?
Answer quick. I favor your declina-
tion in that case"
l wired Immediately the following:
II entirely agree with you. Withdraw
my name if Sewall is not nominated. "
These dispatches we're published in
this mornings papers and the conven-
ton understood my position. In spite
of this they have seen fit to nominate
me. Whether l shall accept the nom

for the aid or consent of any other
nation. The republican platform de-
clares that the bimetallic system should
be restored, but asserts that we as a peo-
pie are helpless to secure bimetallism

with their operatives paid good wages
IN honest dollars"
II Is pity that Mr.. Hobart did not
explain how the alleged business par.
alysis can bo cured by another dose OF
the same mixture whioh produced il.
lie is On intelligent business man, aud
as such knows that the panic which
paralyzed industry began early in
1898 while the protection policy was
IN full operation. He knows that in
its last fiscal year the Mckinley tariff
did not yield enough revenue for the
support OF the Government. He
knows that in l893-1S9l, under pro.
lection, workshops were closed down,
American workmen thrown out OF en-.
ployment, wages reduced from ten to
twenty per cent. all over the country,
and thousands of business men forced
into bankruptcy. He knows that in
spite Of the highest tariff the country
has ever seen, more than a million
workers were idle. And knowing
these things his devotion to party and
his hope of public Office forced him
into asserting that heavier taxes will
help the people, and that trade re.
striction will benefit industry.
What Mr.. Hobart did say is not OF
much importance, as it was merely
the usual clap.trap of high tariff ora
tors. What he neglected to say was
how a policy which brought hard
times and low wages in 1898 can have
a different result next year. The
American people have III times past
believed some pretty tough stories.
They can hardly be expected to swal'
low Mr.. Hobart's protection pill OF
his bare promise that it will cure this
time though it killed prosperity three
years ago.

Sales For Export.

A Few Facts About Iron and Steel
Production.


The McKinleyites IRE clamoring that
heavier tariff taxes are necessary in
order to make our iron and steel in
dustry prosperous, and are trying to
delude the people into believing that
the Wilson law has closed our fur
naces, rolling mills and FORCES. As
the average voter is not in q position
to keep informed in regard to details
Of industries outside OF that in which
he is engaged, these repeated asser-
lions OF business depression for iron
and steel makers have in some quar-
ters been believed. The simple pub
LEGATION of the official statistics will
show that instead of being injured by
the Wilson tariff the IRON and steel in
dustries are more prosperous than ever
before.
The production Of iron for 1895 was
9,446,3 0S tons, the largest in the his.
tory of this or any other country.
This tremendous output was 2,788,9 900
tons more than were produced in the
United States in 1891, and 1921, sos
tons more than in 1898. Since tho
Mckinley law was IN force during all
of 1893 and eight months of 1894,
these figures give cold comfort to the
politicians who claim that heavy taxes
help iron makers.
In steel the increase in production
has been equally great, In 1895 the
total production of Bessemer and open
hearth steel was 6,04G, 80 tons, an
increase Of 800, 061 tons over 1891,
and 2,092, 1874 more than in 1898. This
is the greatest annual product of steel
on record in the world, and shows that
under the Wilson law the steel indus
try fourished as never before.
So long as the Republican parrots
conhne themselves to repeating their
one cry Protection and prosperity"
they will amuse the people and per-
haps influence a few needless voters.
But whenever they appeal tc facts the
official figures will 6atten them ont by
showing that the country's grentest
manufacturing industries have beer
more prosperous under the Wilson
tariff than under the Mckinley law.

WHY SILVER HAS FALLEN.

In 1873 the worlds output of silver was
in round numbers, 5000 900 ounces. IN
1883 II was 5000. 900 ounces. while the out
put Of gold was unchanged. BY 1893 the
production Of silver had increased to 1Gf,
C0O,C ounces. Taking the output OF the
two metals, we find that in 1873 the ratio
of production of silver compared with gold
was 1881 to |, and ten years later was
1892 to I. while in 1893 1t was 2l.S3 to /.
During these twenty years, the worlds
coinage systems having previously been
saturated with silver and its commerce
having outgrown the use of the white
metal for large transactions, the demand
had greatly decreased. With an Increase
in the supply that more than doubled in
twenty years and a coincident decrease in
demand. it is not difficult to account for
the fall in the price.-New York Herald.
