Democrats and Tin.

With a great show of wisdom and
considerable bombast. the mouth
piece of the Iocal Democratic ring
continues an iIl-disguised attempt to
deceive the voters and the laboring
man in regard to the tariff on tin
plate. The mouthpiece attempts 10
cover up the well known design of
the Democrats to ruin the tin plate in
dustry, as well as other Industries,
with the application of their vision
airy free trade tariff theories.
Launching forth with the pedantic
assumption that 1t knows everything
there is to know about the tariff
problem and that the Telegram
knows absolutely nothing about It,
the mouthpiece tries to make it APP
pear that the application of the pro-
tective tariff system has no effect
whatever upon the tin plate industry
because the tariff on the product OF
the tin plate mills un(ler the present
tariR law is the same as was provided
for by the wilson-Gorman Democratic
tariff law. In other words, it argues
that free trade as a system is COM
pletely vindicated because one arti-
Gle OF more than four thousand DIFF
ferent articles embraced by the tar
iff law carried the same duty under
a Democratic tariff that it now does
under a protective tariff.
Unwittingly the Exponent favors
the application of protective duty
on tin plate for the simple reason
that the wilson German duty was
higher than the old duty on tin
plate and therefore not in strict con-
formity to the free trade theory
For years prior to the adoption OF
the Mckinley protective duty of %
cents pound, tariff of only one
cent a pound was maintained on tin
plate. Under the old tariff rate no
