FIFTY CENT POCKET-KNIVES COST Ex-Governor Am— on the McKinley Tarin* BlU—Profit® of the Steel Ball TradeWool, Hero and In Kiialund-Whai Garfield Thought. Helping the Foreigner. A pocketknife is an Innocent little thing. They cost usually from 10 cents to $2 each. The editor of this paper is the possessor of one; and thereby hangs a tale. A friend of ours brought this knife from Scotland and presented It to us. It is a very handsome knife, and on examination wo found it had been manufactured by a noted American manufacturer. Wo know it had been purchased at Glasgow, Scotland, for the merchant's card of that place was still on ft. For curiosity we inquired of the gentleman whd bought it what it cost. Two shillings was his answer. Two shillings make 50 cents in our money. Struck by the cheapness of the knife, we looked around in our hardware stores in this city till we found a mate for it. At last we found It and asked the price; $1.25 wo were told. We thought our merchant was a little steep, and said so. “No," he replied, “these knives cost us at wholesale sl2 per dozen, or $1 each." We rather doubted this statement, though ho Is a reliable merchant. Ho noticed our dubious look and Immediately produced the bill from the wholesaler to prove that the knives did cost $1 each. ~ The more we think of this matter the more we wonder how these high tariff protectionists can explain this state of affairs. It doesn’t seem to reconcile Itself with the Idea that protection doesn't cost the consumer anything. It hardly seems possible that this American manufacturer, through love for the people across the water, would send his knives over there to be sold below cost of production. There seems little doubt but that this knife which retails in Glasgow for fifty cents was sold by the manufacturer at a fair profit. If this were true, and no sane man would dispute It, how does It become necessary for the same manufacturer to sell the same knife so It must be sold in his own country for $1.25? Is any one simple enough to suppose that this manufacturer pays his men this seventy-five oentsjextra on each knife? No; he doesn’t pay his workmen one mill extra, but we’ll wager ten to one that bis donation to the Republican national committee next summer will be away up in the thousands. Well, It can afford to bo, so long as he hopes to keep the Harrisons, the Blaines, or the McKinleys in power, so that he can rob the consumer of seventy-five cents on each knife. The people are beginning to see who pays this. It seems wonderful that it should have taken so many years to get their eyes open.—Des Moines leader. Kx-Governor Ames Talks. At a recent meeting in Boston, exGovernor Ames gave a caustic criticism of "the McKinley tariff. His speech excited great alarm in the ranks of the American Protective Tariff League, and Its secretary wrote a letter to the exGovernor asking for’ an explicit statement of his views. He has replied in a very long letter, of which this is the -pith: In the Presidential campaign of 1888 the Republican party met the tariff issue by the assertion that it intended, if successful, to reduce the surplus in the United States Treasury, and reduce the revenue of the Government by reducing the tariff on Imports all along the line, but in such away as to preserve and encourage the manufactures of the country. It claimed that this reduction should be made by the friends of protection, and not by its enemies; otherwise the interests to be affected would suffer. On the issue thus presented we elected a Republican President and a Republican House of Representatives. But our pledge was not kept in its entirety, as it should have been. Instead of reducing the tariff duties all along the line, we raised them on many manufactured goods that had adequate protection. I am a Republican and a protectionist, and I believe that our revenue law should be so adjusted as to give ample protection to manufactures, so as to insure good wages to the workman and fair profit to the employer. But I do not believe in making the rate of duties so high as to exclude foreign goods and give a manufacturer phenomenal profits, and thereby so overstimulate domestic production as to end in ruinous competition or to cause that reaction which tends to the abolition of all protective laws, which already has so many advocates. I am convinced that the tariff of 1883 was in many instances too high, and that the tariff of 1890 in some of Its •provisions is still more burdensome than was that which it succeeded. This Is the error in legislation which I wish to point out, to which I more than once called attention while the measure was under consideration in Congress, and which I believe did more to defeat the Republican party in 1890 through consequent reaction than any other act of Congress during a quarter of a century. Steel-Kail Trust Profits. Early in 1891 the steel-rail trust clinched its grip upon the market for steel rails by the consolidation of the two mills at Scranton, Pa. Previous to this time, though both mills were members of the trust, one of them was in the habit of cutting prices on favorable occasions. Their consolidation under one management removed this disturbing influence. No better illustration of the control which the trust has over production and prices can be given than the average monthly prices of steel rails in 1891. As computed by the American Iron and Steel Association, the average prices of Bessemer pig iron and st el rails at the mills in Pennsylvania have been as follows: Bessemer Steel pig iron rails per ton. per ton. January.sls.9s $29 February 18.26 80 March. 16.50 30 April 16 10 30 May 16-50 30 June 16 25 • 30 July 16.25 30 August 16.00 30 September 15.60 30 OctoberAsU 30 November 15.15 30 December, 15.35 30 Thoiigh pig iron shows a steady fall in price, steel rails have remained constant at S3O per ton. In the report on the cost of producing iron and steel products in the United States, for which investigations were made in 1889, the Commissioner of Labor says: “The department has been positively informed relative to the cost of making steel rails in several of the very largest establishments in the United States, and there Is no shadow of a doubt in the mind of the writer that in these establishments the actual cost of standard steel rails is, and has been for some time, within a few cents of $22 per ton.” The recent heavy reductions made in wages by the steel rail trust and the fall in price of Bessemer pig Iron from an average of $18,85 per ton in 1889, when the commissioner gathered his statistics, to an average of $15.95 per ton in 1891, have greatly reduced the cost of producing steel rolls. The present cost to theTrUßt is not Owi- s£trp®Fton. For every ton of steel rails sold by the members of the trust they Rave made a profit of $lO. In 1891 the trust 1 produced 1,366,259 tons of steel rails.

Wool Hora and Thara. r It is a fact, which the tariff-mongers ’ will doubtless be able to explain to their ' own satisfaction, that while the duties on wool are higher than ever before, the number of sheep grown in the United States has declined 3 to 4 per cent. 1 within the last year. On the other hand, in free-trade England, whore wool Is on ' the free list, the number of sheep has ' increased. What is more, the demand 1 for domestic wool Is more lively, and the ' markets are Armor than those in. the United States. According to the reports of the Agricultural Department, the number of sheep In the United States in 1891 was 44,938,000; while, according to the official British reports, the number of sheep in England was 33,500,000. The gradual decline of wool production in the United States, under a system of high “protection,"is seen by the fact that in 1884 the sheep in this country were officially estimated at 50,626,626 head. Yet In the United States there Is a ' territorial afea of 3,000,000 square miles, upon which a population of a little more than 60,000,000 is thinly spread, while Great Britain has an area of only 120,000 square miles and a population of 35,000,000. In Great Britain nearly every foot of sheep pasture is Inclosed and under private ownership. In the United states there are vast mountain ranges belonging to the public domain, and not costing the ranchmen of New Mexico and . Colorado a cent an acre for sheep pasture. Yet, notwithstanding this great apparent difference in physical advantages for sheep culture, Great Britain, where wool is free of tax, raises nearly 280 head of sheep to the square mile, while in this land of “protection” to the , wool industry not quite 15 sheep are raised to the square mile. There are several causes for this great ' disparity, not all of which are traceable to the differences in economic policies. But there can be no encouragement nor substantial prosperity for sheep-raising, except for mutton and manure, in a country whose policy makes rags and shoddy cheaper and more profitable materials than fine wool for manufacturing clothing.—Philadelphia Record. What Garfield Thought. It is very refreshing sometimes to pause awhile in the fight against tariff extortion, and, while taking breath, to bait the protective bull with some red rag like this from one of Garfield’s speeches: “We have seen that one extreme ' school of economists would place the t price of all manufactured articles in the hands of foreign producers by rendering it Impossible for our manufacturers to compete with them, while the other extreme school, by making it impossible for the foreigner to sell his competing wares in our market, would give the people no immediate check upon the prices which our manufacturers might fix . for their products. I disagree with both , these extremes. I hold that a properly adjusted competition between home and foreign products is the best gauge by which to regulate international trade. Duties should ba so ' high that our manufacturers can fairly compete with the foreign product, but i not so high as to enable them to drive , out the foreign article, enjoy the monop- . oly of the trade and regulate the prices , as they please. This is my doctrine of , protection. If Congress pursues this line of policy steadily, we shall, year by year, approach more nearly to the basis . of free trade, because we shall be more nearly able to compete with other nai tions on equal terms. I am for a protection which leads to ultimate free . trade. lam for that free trade, which can only be achieved through a reasoni able protection." Mr. Garfield would have been a great man—and a living man, too, in all prob- . ability—if he had possessed conscience and courage to equal his clear percep- , tion of the right. , Waited American Tin Plate. As tending to show the facility with which? tin plate of American manufacture can be procured by those having need for it in their business, we quote the following letter from a well-known Albany firm, in reply to an inquiry made 1 by us: . “Albany, Feb. 2. “Dear Sib— ln reply to your request in regard to American tin plate, would say that our experience was very unsat- ; isfactory. “We ordered five boxes of American bright 14 by 20 plate, as a sample order of an agent of Ely <fc Williams. He said it would be ready for delivery about thirty days thence. This was, we think, the latter part of March or the fore part of April, but after several inquiries of their agent (when he came to Albany), he said ho was surprised that wo did not receive the tin; but after giving up all hope of ever getting the tin, it came to hand on Nov. 14,1891. This, we presume, was a special delivery, so we have not tak. n the chance of being placed in sioh a position again.by waiting six months for goods. “ Hoping you will not have any such delay as we have had In getting any plate of American product, we are yours, "Kieley A Stahl.” —National Provisioner. The Coffin Trust Reorganized. The following dispatch has been received from Cleveland: It is stated on the authority of a prominent manufacturer of burial caskets that an advance of about 20 per cent, in the price of coffins will be made within thirty days. The coffin trust,, which was first organized here about three years ago, and which was recently broken by several large companies refusing to be bound by its regulations, has been- reorganized and now practically controls'the business in this country. The higher prices are the result. Called Him a FooL The Marquis of Lome, in his preface to his “Viscount Palmerston, K. G.," just published by Sampson Low, recalls a characteristic stofy of the Duke of Wellington:, A worshiper, seeing the old Duke about to cross alone the crowded street from the Green Park to Apsley House, begged to be allowed to escort him. After the worshiper had walked with the Duke across to the pavement near the Duke's house the gentleman who had thus volunteered his company took off his hat to the Field Marshal and, with a low bow, expressed his deep sense of the high honor that had been permitted to him, etc., on which the old Duke, standing t n the pavement, turned his eagle nose and blue eye on him, and said ofily: “Don’t be such a , damned fool, sir."

the matter of the dents in the crown Is used to convey » meaning. Four dents must be arranged in every sombrero. One on each side, one in front and one behind. The significance of thia arrangement ia that, when there was a difference of opinion in thLs country in regard to the rights of the church, and the two parties were formed, one in favor of the church and one ag iinst it, the church party adopted Giis device as a distinguishing mark, ami these four dents are intended to give the crown a rude form of the cross. There has been no burning queati-m dividing the nation recently, so the four dents have remained, as is the case with many other customs, long after their original significance has been f< rg itten. The sombrero is exactly ans.ogous to a lady’s bonnet. The only way in which the individual taste is hampered ia in» regard to the general shape. The amount, style and coat ot trimming is left wholly to the owner’s will. The Mexicans nave evolved an article whose variations in trimming are positively bewildering. The band comes next as we descend the crown. The mostpopular form now is a double coil of silver rope varying from one-fourth to three-fourths of an inch in d’ameter. Before the band took its present form it was a heavy braid of silver cord, and the indications are that the cumbrous shape now in vogue will soon be succeeded by several turns of a lighter cord, occupying from two to four inches at the base of the crown. The chance for display which the brim affords is not slighted. There may be only a narrow ribbon of silver running around the outer edge, or, as is frequently the case, it is wholly hid 'en by the amount of trimming on both the upper and the under side of the brim. This silver ribbon is woven into various fanciful and intricate designs, and forms an important element in the decoration of the hat. There is the utmost diversity of color among the sombreros, varying from pure white to simple black. Drab is the most-used color, doubtless, on account of the dust wliich at times fe overwhelming. The material generally used for the manufacture of sombreros is felt with a smooth or furry finish as the owner may wish. Many fine sombreros of straw with trimming of leather are seen. Silver is almost universally used as trimming, although gold is occasionally met. Indeed, the sombrero, both literally and figuratively, forms the crowning triumph of the Mexican's dress, afid the amount of money wliich may be spent on it is only limited by the wishes of the owner.— Cor.
