AN EXPELLED INDUSTRY THE AMERICAN SCREW COM-. PANY GOES TO ENGLAND. An Important Industry Driven Out by McKinley — The Company Must Have Free Raw Materials—McKinley’s Drawback No Goad—Just as Gladstone Said. Republican organs have published with deligljt all the news they could get about European manufacturers who have been compelled by our high tariff to move their establishments to this country. They have crowed over these reports and claimed them as the highest possible evidence that the McKjnley law is a good and wise measure for this country. They do not appear to see that the expense of moving these industries to America must be eventually borne by American consumers in higher prices paid for the goods made in these establishments. But the transportation of industries across the ocean is not all in one direction. A case has just been reported where an industry has been forced to cross the ocean from America to Europe, and Republican journals have found no space to refer to the matter at all. The American Screw Company, of Providence, R. 1., has just decided to move some of its idle machinery from Providence to Leeds, England, whero it will erect a large factory covering an acre and a half of ground. It will also establish a factory in. Germany. The reason given by the President of the company, Mr. Angell,. is as follows: “All the goods we make in Canada and shall make in England and Germany could just as well bo made in Rhode Island, were it not for the fiscal policy of this Government. Employment could be given to thousands of workmen here in the manufacture of goods for the foreign market, if we were not ’ hampered by a high tariff. We make better goods, and could make them cheaper here than anywhere else in the world, in spite of the higher wages we have to pay, because our system of work is so much ahead of the European system. The American workman gets higher wages than his English brother, but he does . more work in proportion. ” Mr. Angell j states that his company will introduce the American system of work into the Leeds factory, with Americans as heads of departments, but with English factory hands. The McKinleyites boast that the drawback of 99 per cent, in the new tariff law gives the manufacturers practical free trade for the foreign market: and, in speaking the praises of this drawback, McKinley invites the manufacturers to “go out and capture the markets of the \ world. ” But that this McKinley drawback is of no practical value to some of our manufacturers is evident from the following utterances of Mr. Angell: “One of the principal reasons that induced us to establish the English plant is the worthlessness of the drawback clause in the McKinley bill, which makes it next to impossible for a manufacturer ! to take advantage of it. In order to get j a drawback on exports made ot imported j raw material, on which a duty has been ■ paid, a manufacturer is put to more trouble and bother than the drawback is worth. He must make a sworn declaration stating the name of the steamer in which the material was imported, together with date of importation. Then he has to have the signature of the captain or mate of the vessel in which the goods are exported and of the foreign consignee who receives them, besides divers and sundry other documents from the Customs officials. .These he must take to Washington, and if they arc all right, by and by he will get his drawback. “In our case,” remarked-Mr. Angell, “all this is practically impossible, b(D cause we use imported raw material from different countries, and to keep track of all the different kinds, with the dates and places, would involve endless work and trouble. “Wc shall send part of the machinery in our Eddy street mill to Leeds, and a part to the German manufactory to be established soon. In this way we shall give employment to labor abroad that we should be only too glad to employ at home were it not for the embarrassments which the McKinley tariff imposes upon us.” Y r et it was this bill of which McKinley, himself boasted in his great tariff speech in the House of Repiesentatives a year ago: “It is an American bill; it is not a European bill.” The fact the American Screw Company must go to England where it can get free raw materials, in order that it may compete in the markets of the world, is a striking confirmation of the truth of Gladstone’s recent remark: a rule you will find that the system of protection adopted by the United States disables that country in competing with us in the markets of the worid. ” 9 Cheapness of American Labir. Ex-Consul Sohoenhof. who represented our Government at Tunstall, England, during President Cleveland's administration, has pointed out why American labor is in the long run the cheapest labor in the world, despite its larger earnings by the day or week. “Our labor being machine labor, ” he says, “is generally cheaper than European labor, which is-to a large extent hand labor, or inferior machine labor, or unproductive, under-fed labor, as compared with higher productive American labor. What our labor suffers from, is the high cost of taxed materials. Free raw materials and a higher technical and artistic development would result in lasting benefits to our manufacturing industries, which periodic additions to already extreme tariff rates can nev&r do. They increase the cost of production in spite of our cheap labor, and continue the congested condition so fryue'ntlv complained of by our manufacturers. ” The makers of the McKinley law, Mr. Schoenhof, did their work Without giving recognition to this fact. “The legislators responsible for the act, ” he goes on, “did what they were expected to do. They simply delivered the goods for value received in 1888, with a tentative hint to future campaign contributions. Still, tlioy might have shown an appreciation of the consumers' interests. They could have learned that they are entirely compatible with the true interests of the manufacturers. An inquiry into the productive methods of European countries would have shown them that these are based on vitally different principles. They would then have seen that our importations ars due to only a limited extent to cheaper labor cost in Europe. They, as well as the recipients of legislative favors, should know that technical and artistic skill are elements of very great importance In manufacture. If wo are deficient in the one or the other, It is only natural that our people import what they can not find equally satisfactory at home. “They certainly ought to know that the industries of this country arc based on an entirely different foundation from that of any other country. If so, they certainly ought to have asked for something quite different than that which they claimed with so much insistence. But If they* lost sight of this in the scramble for higher tariff rates it need not be surprising that the legislators who are responsible for the measure did not care to exaraino deeply into the rates demanded or inquire into the relative industrial positions of the United States and the countries of Europe, against whldh the late tariff act is chiefly intend-

If anything could make us ashamed of our policy of taxing so necessary a raw material as wool it ought to be to see the company in which it puts us. All the other civilized and progressive countries recognize wool as one ot tho prime necessities, not only of a most important branch of manufacturing, but of the great masses of their people, in order that they may have the cheapest and best possible clothing. The following is the list of the countries which admit wool free of duty, and the United States “is not in it:” Austria, Belgium, New Smith Wales, Norway, Chjle, Denmark, The Netherlands, Sweden, British India, Canada, {'ranee, * Gieat Britain, - Portugal, Germany, Greece, Italy, Victoria, New Zealand. And here are the countries which tax wool; also the duty per pound each levies on ordinary clothing wool: Brazil .50. 02 and C 5 per cent. United States. 11 San Salvador .06 Ecuador 059 Porto Rico 059 Mexico: 046 Peru Ml Argentine Republic 25 per cent. Hay®:: .4 Honduras 032 * United States of Columbia. .023 Russia 016 Korea 8 per cent. Roumania 01 Turkey 0072 China. 0036 Spain 0031 Switzerland.., 0006 Siam 3 per cent. The McKinley duty on common cloths ing wool not washed or scoured is 11 cents per pound, if the value is not above 30 cents a pound, 'and 12 cents if the value is more than 30 cents. The ad valorem equivalents of these duties ruii from 20 to 54 per cent. On the best scoured wool the duty is 36 cents per pound, equal to 120 per cent, ad valorem —a duty so extortionate that almost no wool of this kind is imported. Even on carpet wools, of which we produce less than 5 per cent, of what we use, it has recently been ruled by the Treasury Department that duties of 64 and 100 per cent, must be collected, if the wool has be ui in any way sorted or any part of the original fleece removed before packing. This wool tariff puts us into strange company. We plume ourselves upon being the leading nation in the world, and in many respects we are such: yet in taxing wool we put ourselves along with Russia, Hayti, China. Siam, Korea —and we lead them in high duties! A l ostly Industry. The Pittsburg Plate Glass Company has completed its immense new factory at Charleroi, Pa. Half of it is now in operation, and the other half will commence work in a short time. The factory has orders for six months ahead. This is said to be the largest and bestequipped plate glass establishment in the country, having a capacity of over 10,000 feet of glass per day. This immense factory is of course pointed to by high-tariff journals as an evidence of what protection is doing for the country, assuming that the building of this factory is necessarily a good thing for the country at large. But a little addition and subtraction will show that the great establishment at Charleroi will be a bad thing for the .consumers of plate glass, however good a thing it may be for the rich stockholders of the Pittsburg Plate Glass Company. The average price of plate glass in this country, according to the boast of the protectionists, is now “only 85 cents a foot.” The Treasury reports show that the price of tho small quantity imported last year was a little less than 33 cents per foot. Here there is a little- arithmetic applied to the Charleroi works: Daily product 10,000 sq. ft Yearly product (300 days)... 3,000,000 sq. ft Domestic price ot same, at 85 cents per toot .$2, £50,000 Eoreign price, at 33 cents 990,000 Difference between domestic and foreign price......., 1.560,000 In other words, the consumers of plate-glass will be compelled to pay to the “home" market” producers 81,560,000 more for 3,000,000 feet of glass than for the same quantity of foreign glass laid down in New York duty free. Is the Charleroi establishment, then, a good thing for the country? What is the use of having a domestic industry which turns out such an expensive product as compared w r ith the foreign article? The high tariff insures to our plate-glass manufacturers every year profits of from 25 to 35 per cent: and under this unnatural stimulus the business is being rapidly enlarged. It is even boasted by protection journals that in plate glass we are rapidly passing from an importing to an exporting nation, and that we shall soon wrest some of the profitable markets of the world from the old plate-glass producing countries. Before this is done there will have to be an immense fall in prices here. Our plate-glass men, however, may adopt the policy of so many of our other manufacturers and sell their goods in foreign markets at prices far below their home-market prices. This they will be easily able to do under protection duties, equivalent to 141 per cent, in the largest sizes of glass. Ix 1890 our exports of agricultural products amounted to $628,772,000, while our exports of manufactured goods were only $156,983,000. Exports of forest and mineral products brought the tptal up to $845,987,000. Agricultural exports were 74 per cent, of the total and manufactured exports only 18 per cent. In other words, for every dollar’s wo*th of good that owr manufacturers export, our farmers export $4 worth. Wherever, therefore, our wild McKinleyism arouses a spirit of retaliation against us in foreign countries, or forces those countries to seek trade elsewhere, our farmers have four times more to lose than our manufacturers.

The terracotta meij, who have a protective duty of 25 per cent., have recently met in Chicago and taken steps looking toward the formation of a trust. The majority of the stockholders of the International Terra Cotta Compauy were in fa-vofirof a plan to form a trust, taking in ail tne manufacturers in the United States./ There is no limit to the formation outhese tariff trusts. How long are the people going to tolerate the high protection which makes trusts possible and feed them with tariff spoils? The dimensions of the farmer’s foreign market for tallow and lard may be seen from our export figures for April. Tho exports of tallow during April reached a total of 8,869,906 pounds. In April last year the exports amounted to 7,613,092 pounds. On the other hand the exports of lard during April amounted to 32,898,846 pounds against 37,616,769 pounds during April last year, showing a decrease of 4,717,923 pounds. Protection is always promising steady employment at good wages; yet reductions of wages in highly protected industries are still the order of the day. A late case is that of the Rohrerstown rolling mill, in Lancaster, Pa., which shut down on the 16th of May, the puddlers refusing to accept a reduction from $4 to $3.60 per ton. " The high tariffs in the United States and in Canada produce some curious results along the border between the two

countries. It is said that smugglers on the Canadian border are making money just now. By smuggling $1 worth of eggs into the United Stages and exchanging it for sugar, thejUnake by the transaction about $1.13, we having a tariff on eggs and Canada a tariff on sugar. . It looks as if the tariff must be a tax. THE WOOL TARIFF. IT HAS NOT HELPED THE WOOLGROWER. Facts and Figures Showing tho Decline of the Wool Industry — Where the Tariff Has Hurt and Not Helped—Why Foreign Wools Help Domestic Wools— Let the Wool-Grower Consider. The table given below should prove very instructive to those wool-growers who imagine that the wool tariff is of any advantage to them. This table gives the number of sheep in Michigan and Pennsylvania every year from 1866, the year before the high wool duties were adopted, to 18895 the tariff on wool, the price of wool, and the value per head of sheep each year: iilililSilliSlsssasliil ® «®-405JR Ss c 2 OC9 OD C 5 Ct UtGW* © O & jj grSS 55 © to ca oo c: ccpcc. ct 3caoc S 5 G 2 tO tO tO tC 03 03 09 09 tO tO tO tC tA CO tC tO tO tC 82*to£8pl2^££*3*oo:h$2iS3^iS8 Siss3£5c > §is l§ll ¥1 illill l § lll § l § y f 03 03 tO tO 03 03 03 03 03 03 tO 03 03 05 03 03 03 03 03 tO tO 03 p* aBBBS.SS£§SSSBSSBSbSfcSSBSB 5* p !•» £ £ ifc* kU it. tin, rfb. its. rfk. tfit 4s. ct Ol Ol Or Cn tO *2 cooooconciwo-LOicutvioiwocoOo® © Q O O CO CO O CO o 5 S.BBSSSS2SggSIg.2's!:S!BSSSSSSS §3 03 C3iCO3 03 CO A. ic o: Ol Ct ©©m ©» Ito. <2. g J? A similar decline in wool-growing has been experienced in all the States east of the not excepting Ohio,' whose small clique of “political woolgrowers” have dominated the whole country in the matter of the wool tariff for many years. Os course it is true that the number of sheep in the far West and Southwest has greatly increased sjnee 1866, but this is to be considered. not as the effect of the tariff on wool, but as the natural result of the settlement of these parts of the country. How the tariff could increase the number of sheep at the same time that the price of wool was steadily declining is one of those contradictions which only the protection mind can believe. The decline in the price of wool here brought out has been maintained since the passage of the McKinley tariff law, in spite of the higher duties on wool imposed by that measure. The price of Michigan and Qhio clothing wools is now from one to two cents per pound lower than last year. Why the higher tariff on wool does not make the price of domestic wool higher may seem very puzzling, in view of the fact that the tariff is a tax. and is always given in order to help domestic interests to realize larger profits. The reason for this decline in price is thus stated by the New York Dry Gnodi Economist,a highly competent authority. “High wool duties injure the purchaser of wool in common with the grower of wool, the manufacturer of wool, the importer of wool and tho wearer of woolens, all at the same time and for the same reason. For the production of the most popular wool fabrics, foreign and domestic’wools are like the two halves of a pair of shears—if you can’t get the one liaif yoif don’t want the other. When prices of raw materiaf decline on account of a supply beyond the volume of normal demand, it is a good tiling all round except, perhaps, for the producer: and is even good for him, inasmuch as it enables him to market his surplus. When, on tho .other hand, prices of raw material decline because harmful legislation partially paralyzes the manufacturing industry using such raw material, it is a bad thing all round and without exception. This is precisely the result of high duties on foreign wool. The consequence of such duties is, as we have shown, the use of an undue amount of wool substitutes, the obvious injury of the home woo-lgrower, the degradation of the manufacturer and an outrageous fraud upon the public. ” The figures and facts here given are a sufficient justification for the woolgrowers of Ontario and Livingston Counties, in New York State, who some time ago denounced the wool tariff as a “delusion and a snare” and demanded that wool be placed on the free list Taught l>y an Insect. It has been said that the operations of the spider suggested the arts of spinning and weaving to man. That may be doubtful, but *it is quite certain that to a hint from an insect was due the invention of a machine instrumental in accomplishing one of the moat stupendous works of modern times—the excavation of the Thames tunnel. Mark Isambard Brunei, the great engineer, was standing one day about three-quarters of a century ago in a ship yard watching the movements of an animal known as the terredo navales —in English, the naval wood worm—when a brilliant thought suddenly occurred to him, says the New York Weekly. He saw that this creature bored its way into the piece of wood upon which it was operating by means of a very extraordinary mechanical apparatus. Looking at the animal attentively through a microscope he found that it was covered in front with a pair of valvular shells; that, with its foot as a purchase, it communicated a rotary motion asd a forward impulse to the valves, which, acting upon the wood like a gimlet, penetrated its substance, and that, as the particles of wood were loosened, they passed through a fissure in the foot and thence through the body of the borer to its mouth, where they w6re expelled. “Here,” said Brunei, to himself, “is the sort of thing I want. Can I reproduce it in an artificial form ?” He forthwith set to work, and the final result of his after many failures, was the famous boring shield, with which the Thames tunnel was excavated. This story was told by Brunei himself, and there is no reason to doubt its truth.
