By Byron w. Holt.

The tin plate industry affords an ex-
cellent object lesson for the study of
the tariff-Trust question. 1t is the one
particular industry to which the pro-
teetionists always point with pride"
because, as they tell us, it would not
have existed in this country had there
been no Mckinley tariff bill. In the
sense that the tariff is the mother of
the industry they admit that the tariff
is the mother of the trust that UNI
doubtedly exists in the industry.
Free traders, on their part, welcome
the discussion, and are able to present
indisputable evidence that the industry
has cost the American people, because
Of the tariff, an enormous amount
more than it is worth and that the bal
ance on the wrong side, in spite of
sanguine predictions, continues to in
crease while the duty is retained.
Moreover, they hold that, whether or
not the tariff is directly responsible for
the tin plate trust, it is clearly respon-
sible for the high prices which the
trust is extorting from American con-
sumers
In the first place it is instructive to
inquire how much American consumers
have paid in the last nine years in
order that this industry should be
established.
The duty on imported tin plates was
one cent per pound previous to July /,
1891; then % cents until October /.
1894; then IL cents until July a. 1897;
since then is cents per pound.

NEED FOR TROOPS IN CUBA

Special to the Register.
NEW YORK, October 15.-Those
who are continually urging that we
should withdraw our troops from Cuba
are referred to the following extract
from letter just received by a New
York merchant engaged in the Cuban
tade. The letter is dated September
21st and is from a sugar planter in
Santiago province. The writer says:
1--WE are much harassed by cattle
thieves and are wholly without govern
ment protection. We are compelled to
keep a force of twelve armed men by
day and four by night to protect the
place and property from fire and
thieves.
This is worse condition than exist
ed even during the war, for then the
planters were at any rate sure of pro-
lection of the Spanish troops. 1t is
little to be wondered at that ia

Imports in 1899, 10S, Asa, $40 pounds:
domestic production in 1899. estimated
at 75O,OOO,O0O pounds.
The price Of imported plates in bond
in New York is obtained by adding
Ito cent per pound to the foreign. or
invoice price as given in the Statistical
Abstract. This amount covers trans
portation charges. The New York
price is the actual price at which &c

column shows exactly how much more
the wholesale buyer paid for tin plates
m New York than he would have paid
had there been no duty.
Rebates on re-exported tin plates IN
manufactured forms (the exact figures
are not attainable) reduce this total
to between $4,000, 600 and sS4.000,00
as the direct cost In the last nine years
of creating" the industry. This is
the extra amount paid by wholesalers
and metal workers, but by the time
they were repaid by the American peo-
pie who ultimately bought the goods
and footed the bills. the addition Of
legitimate profits swelled the amount
to over s100.000.00O.
Our people paid this for a COM
petitive industry which promised to
put prices down: they got for their
money monopoly which arbitrarily
marks them up.
In 1898 the industry was well on ito
feet and capable of existing without
tariff support In November OF that
year the price at the mills in Pitts
burg had fallen to $2.s5 per box. which
was within cents OF the price OF
