AS long as the Republican party fosters
and creates trusts ly tariff protection then
anti trust platform declarations are as
sounding brass and tinkling cymbal. Dis
cussing the origin Of trusts the New York
Jpr.nai says:
Ten years ago a few puny industrial
infants were r:tif,l Y b, seeching Congress
for protection To enable them to sell Amer
lean tinp|ates in competition with those of
Wales. They got it. For a time it seem
ed uncertain whether the American tin
plate industry was Il reality or myth.
American timed sheets used to be eNhi-
bited as q curiosity at political meet
ings.
But eventually our consumers and
dealers discovered that this once phantom
industry had become grinding, crush
ing, impoverishing fact. They had paid
taxes to build up monster to destroy
| them. Last year the American Tinplate
Company was organized and now it con-
lis 2S2 mills in 81 works, does 80 per
tvnt. of the timing in the country and
practically rules the rest. There are only
five independent manufacturers and 16
independent clippers left, and these are
independent only in name.
In January of last year American Bes-
semer steel tinplates were selling at So 81!
per hundred pounds. One year later they
were selling at $3.50. They remained at
IS for over three months, when the trust
reduced the price to S4S4.
In March, 1900, when the trust was
charging S. per hundred for American
tinplates, the price in England was $40.
Suppose some American jobber or large
consumer, made desperate by exactions
of the trust, had tried to esc;.pe them by
importation, how would he have come
| out? The foreign price, $40, and the
duty, $1.5'. would have amounted to
$3.50 That would have left 10 cents for
| freight, commissions and incidentals. The
| next month the trust red ced the price
here to $4.s4, which just wiped ut any
possibility of importations, while collec-
ting practically the full amount of the
| duty from the consumer. The trust price
is always either just about or shade be-
low the foreign price plus the duty
Upon this same subject the Philadel phia
| Lrdye, says:
The tinplate industry is today looked
| upon by the jobbing trade generally as an
| excellent example of and infant industry
| that has grown until it has become giant
| that is permitted by the excessive tariff to
| fatten at the expense of millions of con-
| sumeIs. If the duty were removed today
said a gentleman thoroughly familiar with
the tinplate business, there would be no
increase in importation, for we can make
goods in this line cheaper than they can
| be made in any other country on earth
But the removal of the duty would stop
the oppression of the people by the trust
which would be Obliged to reduce the
present eXorbitant prices for fear that
this county would buy of Welch manu-
| facturers. Yet even then, with prices re
duccd sufficiently to keep out forei II
plate, the trust would reap large profits
| | do not think any man III the tihplatt
| business will contradict this assertion -

reaching that point the officials noted
the sudden disappearance Of the Curry
