THE TARIFF BONUS. w> WHAT WILL YOU FARMERS DO ABOUT IT? The Cordage Trost Again Advances Prices —Carroll D. Wright on the Cost of Making Steel Rails—Who Pays the Tariff?— I Tariff Shot. McKinley Prices for Crockery. A little over a year ago, when the MoKin ey biU was pending in Congress, the high-tariff organs vied with each other in thp attemnt to show how nood a thing the McKinley bill was for the farmer. To carry out this idea McKinley declared that his bill was a farmers' bill, that the cause of the depression in farming was the increased importation of farm products. Accordingly he raised the duties on wheat, corn, oats, butter and meats. Under cover of this big jdb all the important jobs were carried through. Such were the Increases in the duties on earthenware and glassware, cutlery, and other manufactures of tin plate, Woolen, cotton and linen goods. The object of this was to give the combinations engaged in the productions of these aitides a complete monopoly of the home market. Having secured all that they asked for, the leaders of the trusts gave the cue to their editorial friends to talk of something besides the tariff. Accordingly the latter are devoting their attention to our big farm crops. Nearly every issue contains an article giving some one’s estimate of the amount of wheat and corn which we will bo able to spare for export this year. They have forgotten all about the famous “home market” for farm products about which they wrote when the tariff bill was peuding. At the same time the financial editors of these high tariff organs are devoting their attention to estimates of the prob-I able amount of gold which Europe will have to ship to us in exchange for our exports of wheat and cotton and corn. But why must they ship gold? Why not crockery, glassware, and woolen goods? Have our farmers who have wheat and cotton to sell a superabundance of these things? This is hardly probable. The fact is the crockery and g'assware trusts and the manufacturers of woolen goods had the duties on these ' products so increased in the McKinley bill that their importation was practical-: ly prohibited. Aow let us see how this compulsory sale of our farm products affects the farmer. We can illustrate it by supposing that the farmer’s wife needs a set of crockery for her table. The farmer can sell his wheat abroad and buy his crockery there and when importing it pay the duties fixed by the McKinley tariff, or else he can take gold for his wheat and buy his crockery in i Trenton or East Liverpool. How much j he will have to pay for erockery in Eng- I land and the United States is shown in ' the following table, which gives the net I who osale prices for first quality white- I granite ware, and also the duties im- I posed upon each article by the McKinley tariff.

This explains fully the reason why the crockery combination was so anxious to have the McKinley tariff passed. It gave them a two-fold advantage. First, by levying high duties on foreign crock- j ery they need not feSr competition, for thereby the farmers who export wheat will be unable to bring back crockery; and. second, the high duties enable the combine to keep up the prices to the importing point, and thus compel the farmers either to buy of them at their priees, or if they im ported their crockery to pay to the United States Trea ury a sum equal to the difference between the combine’s price here and the foreign price. How much this difference is expressed in farm produce can be easily shown. The following table shows the amount of various farm products required to buy the set of disnos for which prices are given above. In En- In United Products. gland. States. Wheat, at $1.19 per bu 4.52 bn. 7.89 bu. Corn, at 75c per bu 6.64 bu. 11,44 bu. Oats, at 40c per bull 20 bu. 21.45 bu. Butter, at 25c per 1b19.92 lbs. 34.32 lbs. Cheese, at 10c per 1b49.80 lbs. 85 80 lbs. Three and one-third bushels of wheat, nearly five bushels of corn, over ten bushels of oats,'fourteen pounds of butter, and thirty-six pounds of cheese represent the tariff bonus which the crockery combine is able by the aid of the McKinley tariff to compel the producers of these products to pay it whenever they buy cro kery-ware. Last year a larger amount of these products was needed to make up the tariff bonus, since their price was lower. The time is coming when the fartaers will see this in its true light, and will demand the full value of their labor. More Wage Reductions. A dispatch to the New York l Post from ' Pittsburg says: “It is reported to-day that the iron and steel manufacturers of the United States will make a general assault on the Amalgamated Association in the spring. Tne skilled workmen in all the union mills belong to this association, and the annual wage scale for the United States is made in this city Preliminary skirmishes have already occured, and in every instance the workmen -were beaten. ” Under the protection of the McKinley tariff the manufacturers have formed trusts and combinations to control prices and appropriate all the tarlfl bonus to themselves. At the same time they use their organization to stop the workmen from uniting and to keep down their wages. The reductions in wages referred to in th'e above dispatch were those made by the Carnegies, the Pennsylvania Steel Company, the Bethlehem Iron Company, all members of the steel rail trust; by the firm of Jones & Laughlin, a member of the steel beam trust; and by the Oliver & Roberts Wire Company, which cut wages 20 per cent; and the Baker Wire Company, both members of the Columbia Patents Company, popularly known as the wire trust What could show more clearly that the tariff is not for the workmen? “Hands off immigration, ” said Carnegie recently. High duties on the product of trusts and free trade in labor is the keynote of high protectionism. Much stress is laid upon the fact that the McKinley tariff has almost completely prohibited the Importation of woolen rags and shoddy from Europe to the United States. But no mention is made of the other fact that not a pound of woolen rags or shoddy is exported from this country. While England, Germany, Italy and poorer countries of Europe largely export those cheap materials, the y •< az.

Manufacturers of the United States have need of ail the rags and shoddy they can get as a substitute for pure wool to make into clothing for the richest people of the world. How often the domestic rags are worked over in the shoddy mills is a question to which the statistics of manufactures afford no adequate answeae—Philadelphia Record. WHO PAYS THE TARIFF? How the Plate Glass Combination Manipulates the Heavy Duties on Plate Ghus and Collects the Bonus from Consumers. Next to the duties upon window glass those on plate g ass are the highest in the whole McKinley tariff. Our imports of polished unslivered plate glass in 1890 were as follows: Square V it ad vol Sizes- feet. Value, cts Vo Not above 10x15 Inches square 93,819 $ 21,981 3 13 10x1 jto 16x24 inches 19b,099 53,278 5 18 16x24 to 24x30 “ 0>6,182 294,568 8 26 24x30 to 4x60 " 1,132,699 385,565 25 78 Above 24x60 ~ • 447,063 162,024 50 138 T0ta1«.9,82),'65 8917,369 ~ ~66 In the rolling of plate-glass manufacturers do not intend to turn out glass of sizes less than 24x30 inches. The smaller sizes are made only from defective or broken pieces of large plates. They are therefore in the nature of bye products only, and made only to a limited extent. The demand for. such small plates for small mirrors, d splay shelves and counters has been so great that large imports are ne essary. The plate-glass manufacturers confine themselves to the larger plates only. The duties on these sizes are therefore their protection. Their annual pro-' duction of polished plate is about 10,000,000 square feet, against an importation of less than 3,000,000 square feet; but so well do they manipulate the market and so strong is their control i over production and prices that they get i out of the tariff nearly all there is in it, as the following shows: Price in Price In Price in U. 8. France U. 8. higher. Dutiea, eq. ft., sq. ft., Bq. ft., Sq. ft., Sizes— cents, cents, cents. cen s. 24x31 to 3 x4B in.. 27.12 46 18.88 25 80x49 inches and , over3X44 73 42.56 50 The effect of this use of the tariff, to get out of it as much as possible to increase profits, may be shown by the history of the Pittsburg Plate Glass Company. Nine yean this company built its first works at Creighton, Pa; five years later another plant was erected at Tarentum. In 188!) J. B. Ford, one of the principal stockholders of the company, ere ted another plant at Ford City and so d it to the Pittsburg Plate Glass <. ompany for $1,500,0ub, one-half of which was to be paid in boads and the other half in stock of the company at par. Trouble arose at once, for the j other stockholders objected to the payment of S7;>o,ooo at Its par value only, ! for the stock had advanced 100 per cent. :in the open market The original stock j of the company was SBOO,OOO, which was i later increased to 52,000,000 and, when ! the Ford City works were purchased, to $2,750,000. In spite of the constant increase in capital the stock is now worth S2OO per share, the par value b ing SIOO. Last year the company declared a dividend of 31 per cent. Meanwhile the company pays its workmen lower wages than are paid in any other industry requiring skilled labor. The contiol of the industry by a combination of the manufacturers is complete. Just so long as tariff continues as high as it is, just so ong will the combination to fix priees so as to get as big a tariff bonus as possible and to keep down the wages of labor continue. If the men wib not work in their factories at the wages they tix, “they can go like I done, ” as one of the workmen expressed it But “the tariff is not a tax, ” says McKinley, “for the foreigner pays it ” Is he right? TARIFF SHOT. The Results of High Protection. From 1847 to 1861 we had revenue tariffs, or what the high protectionists of to-day choose to call “free trade” tariffs. Under the operations of these tariffs our farmers were prosperous, and the cause of it is not far to seek, for a l tariff duties were low and manufacturers could not combine and form trusts to raise the prices of their products on the one hand, and on the other to cut down the wages of their workmen. The farmers therefore got in exchange for their corn and wheat the fu 1 value of these products in manufactured goads. From 1847 to 1861 the average price of corn in New York was 69 4-10 cents per bushel, or During the ten years ending with 1890 the average price of corn in New York was 54% cents i or bushel, or If the high protectionists are right their system has reduced the price of corn over 21 per cent. Window glass has been highly protected since 1816, except during the period from 1847 to 1861, when the duties were low, chiefly for revenue. In 1861 the duties were raised again, and many times since, till now under the McKinley tariff they average over 100 per cent. The result is shown in the following table: Prices per box Sizes. ot SOfeat. inches. Quality. 1860. 1890. 8x193d $1.95 $1.90 Bxloth. 1.80 1.80)6 10x14.2d. 2.490 2 04 10x143d, a 10 . 1.90 12x18.,15t, 8.00 2.75 12x183d. 2.49 2.23 18x242d. 8 69 8.11 22x28.2d. 8.60 8.82 Total, 8 boxess2l.Bs sl9. Under the protection of a high tariff the window-g ass manufacturers have been able to combine to keep up prices, and as a result window glass is nearly as high as in 1860. It took only 30 bushels of corn to buy the abdve eight boxes of window g ass in 1860, at the average price of corn from 1847 to 1861, or ■■■Ml Bnt in 1890 it took a litt’e bver 35 bushels of corn, at the average pricj of corn for the past ten years, to buy the same amount of window glass, or The farmer's tribute to the bonus of high protectionism is therefore 5 bushels of corn Wherein Iles the beneficence bestowed upon the farmer by a high tariff, on the beauties of which McKin ey and his associates delight to speak? The Cordage Trust Advances Prices. A further advance has been made by the National Cordage company, who on Saturday advanced the price of Manila rope three-fourths of a cent per pound, and sisal and New Zealand one cent per pound. This action is taken in view ot the fact that they are securing control of the market and outside competition ceases to be an important factor. The tone of the ma. tis decidedly strong and it is thought probable that further advances will follow.—lron Age. The McKinley tariff" increased the duty on pickles 30 per cent. With this inducement to robbery on the statute book a combine of twenty-five companies in the West has been organized to get out of consumers all that the traffic will bear. Apparently there will soon be as many trusts in the country as there are protected industries.—Phil** delptya Record.

HoW Kid Gloves Are Hade.' The kid gloves are a simple but very important article of drees. Os the millions of persons who wear gloves, how few over give the subject of their manufacture a passing thought. The best skins generally qpme from Middle and Southern France. Fine seasons improve the quality of the skins greatly, as the animals are k%pt in the open air. In wet weather it is necessary -to keep the kids housed. The confinement, if lengthy, causes heating and produces fever-spots on the skins. The animals on the Tyrol mountains furnish good leather for men’s wear. South American kids being more or less wild, their coats become scratched and torn by contact with bushes, briers, etc., and are not desirable. The pelt as taken from the animal is dried; then, through a series of baths, the hair and grease are removed and the skin cleaned thoroughly. A most difficult stage of the business is tanning and dyeing the leathers, so much skill being requisite to obtain the desired shades and colors. This is accomplished with the best success in France, as the French posesss that art of leather-dyeing to a degree not yet attained by other nations. In order afterward to make the skin soft, full, and flexible, it is fed with—actually absorbing quite a quantify of—a preparation of wheat flour and eggyelks. Subsequently the parts around the neck and shoulders where the skin is thickest, are shaved with a sharp knive to render it uniform in thickness throughout. The leather fully prepared is carefully examined for imperfections; perfect skins are retained, imperfect ones laid aside. The cutting of material for kid gloves can only be done by hand, each piece being caxefully measured in order to allow the proper stretching space. The stamping, which comprises cutting out the form of the glove, is done by machinery rapidly, as three pair are usually “stamped” at one time. Frtpn the cutter they pass to the embroiderer, thence to the sewer, then to the button-hole maker, afterward to the finisher, who binds the wrist, and finally to the person whose business it is to pair and press them. The long, mousquetaire gloves generally consume the entire skin of a kid. These are ordinary gloves, ten different sizes for ladies—sJ to 8; thirteen different sizes for men—6} to 9; for misses the sizes are from to6|, and for boys the cadet sizes range from 6| to 7|. The'great manufacturing center for gloves is Grenoble, in the south of France, where several thousand persons are engaged in the factories. This firm having to supply so many markets —the United States, through its office in New York; Canada, through its representatives in Montreal; France," through its headquarters at Grenoble; England, through its branch house in London; Australia, through its con-' neotions in Melbourne—recently made a single purchase of ll,0(X) dozen skins, to be dyed and prepared as wanted. Pig and dog-skins exist only in imagination. What is called dog-skin is really lamb-skin, and the advertised dog-skin gloves are made of skin that no respectable dog would ever recognize as having be’onged to any inhabitant i of the. dog world. New designs in embroidery for gloves, recently invented, will shortly be introduced; they surpass in appearance, design, colors and finish anything yet shown, and must become, as they deserve to be, immensely popular with all classes of glove-wearers. A Tree with a Hmtory. One hundred years ago a Mr. Marr, of Cape Elizabeth, Me., set out a willow slip, which grew to be a good-sized tree. Mr. Marr was an obliging sort of person, and he kept his grindstone—one of the few in that vicinity—under the willow by the roadside for the convenience of- bls neighbors. Some of the neighbors were ungrateful yokels, for often, when they had done grinding their axes, they would try the blades upon the sheltering tree, so that Its beauty was spoiled and its life endangered. Then Farmer Marr drove a lot of spikes into the trunk, covering the heads artfully with bark, and when the neighboring vandals had spoiled a few axes they quit trying edges on the willow. Marr and his neighbors are all dead and forgotten these fifty years, but the willow still flourishes, and the ax marks are obliterated, while the protecting spikes are grown deep in the heart of the great trunk. The Age of Muscle. This is it undoubtedly. Never before tn ths history of the race did tbs cultivation of musclo receive such universal attention and encouragement. Even the gentler ssx practices every branch of calisthenics affected by the trous’ered gender. This of course is well, tor exercise is an essential of health. But to the feeble, the nervous, and the dyspeptic, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters affords a guaranty of primal vigor upon which a superstructure of muscularity may advantageously be built. Moat genial and speedy of tonics, it is also the most thorough of regulators, entirely rectifying errors of digestion and bilious secretion, and promoting • healthy habit ot body. It conquers and prevents Intermittent and bilious remittent fever, rheumatism, kidney and bladder trouble. The aged, infirm, and convalescing derive immeasurable benefit fro its use; it imparts a hearty relish for food aud overcomes insomnia. ♦ A Four-Footed Dtfe-Saver. A very remarkable Instance of cariine sagacity was exhibited the other day by a pointer dog belonging to Mr. Charles Wallace of the Worth Lumber Company at Worth. Ga. The railroad track runs near the mills, and a Newfoundland puppy belonging to one of the employes had seated himself on the railread track, and was complacently waiting the approach of a train, which in another moment would have Interrupted his meditations. The pointer, which was standing near by, seeing the ycung dog’s danger, rushed across the track, grabbing the puppy in his mouth as he went by, and placed him safely on the other side just as the train went /thundering by.—Atlanta Constitution.

LOVELL SAFETY. .A Mew Blcyela Which tba Pn«U« UkM. While thousands within the last decade Aavs enjoyed the sport of cycling, the fact » uevertheles obvious that many thousands more have been deterred from enjoying it in consequence of the high prices demanded for a really good wheel. It remained for the John P. Lovell Arms Company ot Boston to change this state of affairs. It was last year that the public first became aware that there was a new low-priced safety bicycle on the market, a wheel strictly high grade and equal in every particular to any manufactured in America or Europe. As previous to this all manufacturers had charged a very large price for a first-class wheel, the John P. Lovell Arms Company is therefore the first house that has ever offered the public such a wheel at a price that does not place it beyond the reach of the average person’s purse. The 'company that manufactures this wheel (the Lovell Diamond Safety) is eno of the oldest of ail the manufacturing and mercantile houses in New England, having been established in 1846. Besides being now one of the leading bicycle firms in the United States, the John P. Lovell Arms Company is and has been 'for years a well-known manufacturer and dealer in firearms and sporting goods ot every description. On June 13 of last year, the firm celebrated its half-century anniversary. The founder of this enterprising house. Mr. John P. Lovell, although over 70 years of age. is still an Important and active member of this world-famed house, Artificial Age.
