The Mckinley tariff added from so to
100 per cent to the prices which consum-
ers had to pay for tin for the purpose OF
enabling manufacturers to make 100 per
cent profit out Of the industry! 1t was
fine thing, no doubt, for thu tin plate
producers, but it was great hardship
on the masses of the people. who were
thus taxed to enrich the men engaged In
this favored line of business.
The import duty on tin was assessed for
the ostensible purpose OF enabling this
country to manufacture its own tin. The
industry has grown to such proportions
now that the manufacturers are arranging
to export the surplus of their product
above what is needed for home needs.
Why. then, should not the tariff on tin be
removed? Why should the manufacturers,
with the aid OF the government. be per-
riitted to continue making exorbitant
profits?
To those who believe that the welfare OF
the community at large is of greater i'm
portance than the prosperity o. single
industry there is no justification at all
for protective tariff But ever the most
extreme protectionst ought to be able
to see the injustice of a high tariff on
tin. after the industry has become thor
ourhlv established, and has been placed
under the control of single corporation
with an immense overcapitalizution.

Trust. Sheltered by the Tariff.


In stump speech at Cedar Rapids
Iowa, Senator Allison declared, with ap-
parent boldness, that the republican
party has not hesitated to deal with the
question of the trusts. and who can truth
fully say that We shrink from dealing
with 1t now" AS IL to answer himself
the senator Immediately began to evade
the issue with the plea that, after all,
1t is a question under our dual form of
government how far congress can go or
TO what extent the States must exercise
the power to deal with the trusts.
No one knows better than he how many
monopolies in trade are sheltered behind
the Dingey tariff. No one more thorough
ly understands the reasons why many
rates of duty were raised high above any
need for protection through the persistent
lobbying of interested parties. Yet, with
all his knowledge of the operation of the
Dingley tariff in fostering industrial trusts
there is little cause to anticipate any aid
from him in the only way in which con-
gress could effectually deal with these
monopolies--that is. by reducing or re-
pealing the excessive protective duties
which favor them at public expense. This
is evident from the senator's Cedar Rap
ids speech. in which he extols the Dingley
tariff this own share in 1t included) as
"a potential factor in the restoration of
prosperity"

1t trusts the day is not far distant when

SHOW YOUR GOODS.


An incident was reported In a Dallas
paper few years ago relating to couple
of exhibits at the Dallas fair of that year
that is especially worthy of repetition Just
at this time for the benefit Of the people
OF this community, and particularly OF
those manufacturers OF small means who
are yet struggling to secure foothold
in the shape OF good local patronage.
The exhibits In question were Of articles
OF common, everyday domestic use. They
attracted considerable attention as the
process OF manufacture was illustrated
daily. The main point OF surprise. how
ever, was that the Dallas public, as a
public. learned for the first time that the
factories which these exhibits represented
were home enterprises aud had for a year
or more been In existence and struggling
for home recognition. Their proprietors
explained that they had not the surplus
means to properly advertise aud had ac-
complished what they had been able TO
do only by their personal visits and APP
peals 70 certain mercantile houses that
Ind assisted. in a way, in getting the arti-
Giles into the market.

question whether any kind Of financial
sacrihce for advertising would not have
