TARIFF N TRUSTS.
Still AnOthe Example of the Fos.
tering Tendency of
Protection.

That the tariff results, on occasion,
at least, in producing trusts and ad-
vancing prices is illustrated by what
has happened in the tin plate indus
try. The total annual production of
tin plate in The United States to-day
is about 10. 900. 900 boxes. The price is
81 a box, making the value of the
product $4,000. 900. The price in Eng
land is $3.50 a box. The price in this
| country is thus greater than the price
| in England by $50 a box-the exact
| amount of the tariff. The total diff
| ference in price to the American con-
| su1ners is SIS, O00, 200. There are not
| to exceed $4,000 men employed alto
gether in this industry. The Ameri-
can people to-day, therefore, are pay
ing for tin plate sufficient excess over
| the amount they would pay at English
prices to pay every man employed in
this business 5000 annually, which is
more than the average wages of the
man.
At the time of the formation of the
American Tin Plate company tin
plate was being sold by the individual
factory at about $2.25 a box, and the
factories made a profit of about 10
per cent. al this price. Indeed, the
Tin Plate company ~professed to rave
made $40, 000, 900 last year, just 100
per cent on the value of their prod
uct. It is estimated that the entire
value of the American Tin Plate COM
pany, property, plants, raw and man
ufactured material, is not to exceed
500, OO0, 900. The company is capital

common stock. There is outstanding
SOS, 200, 900 of commo and S1S,325,0O0
preferred stock.
One share of common and one share
of preferred stock were given to the
original members of the tin plate
plants in exchange for their plants on
a basis of 500 for the two shares, be-
ing $50 for the preferred and $50 for
the common, the promoters-the
Moore Brothers, William b. Leads and
d.. g. Reed-receiving a bonus of $10,-
600 900 in common stool. The entire
common stock was practically water.
Common stock has just been quoted at

ference in value of watered stock of
S23, oO0, 900 in two years. The com
stock has paid s per nj divi-

Another interesting feature on
strenuous taxation of corpora
by the republican legislature of
1901 has been discovered which re-

more vigorously resist the pass
age of the bill imposing a tax upon
them. They said nothing about it I'm
