TARIFF BENEFICIARIES.

the pockets which the profits OF protection penetrate. [New York Times.] For some weeks there has been a strike in the great iron mines of the Marquette Range in Michigan. This was not a protest against a reduction of wages, but a demand for such an arrangement of hours of labor as would permit the miners to attend churoh services on Snnday. The strike was begun in the mines of the Pittsburg and Lake Angeline Company, a corporation whose net earnings are so large that its stock is selling at seven or eight times its par value. The shares are $25 each; the current quotations show that $175 is bid and S2OO is asked. The company is said to have oleared a profit last year equal to its entire capital stock. There may be consider d in connection with the statements just made certain recently published announcements concerning several corporations in the iron and steel industry. It was reported on the 4th of November, 1890, that the stockholders of the Pennsylvania Steel Company had taken all of the new issue of $2,000,000 of stock at $l5O Der share. There was a standing bid in the Philadelphia market for this stock at S2OO, bat the new shares were sold to the holders of the old stock. The Manufacturers’ Recor i of the Ist instant said: “ The stockholders of the Pennsylvania Steel Company held a soebial meeting and voted to increase the capital stock from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000. It was reported to the stockholders that the business of the last six months had been the most profitable of the company’s history. The divid.uds last year were 18 percent, in cash and stock, but the actual profits were over 30. The stockholders expressed themselves unanimously in favor of the old flag and a protective tariff. ” The Pittsburg Commercial Gazette recently published this news about one of the Wheeling companies: “The iEtna Iron Company has increased its capital stook to $500,000. A a meeting held yesterday a resolution was adopted declaring a dividend of $198,000, to be paid out of the surplus. The increase of stock is about 60 per cent,, and there will remain in the surplus fund about $100,000.” The Manufacturers’ Record of the Ist instant also publishes the following: “A special meeting of the Bethlehem Iron Company will be held on November 26 to vote on a proposed increase of the capital stock from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000. It is a close corporation, and is understood to make 25 per cent, a year. ” “The Thomas Iron Company has just declared a stock dividend of 25 percent., thus increasinfi its capital from $2,000,000 to $2,500,000. The company earned $483,000 in the year ending June 30, but only distributed 10 per cent.* in divid, nds.“ The Cleveland Leader, which represents Mr. MoKiniey, explains in an editorial article that the manufacturers of woollen goods cannot be expected to raise the wages of their employes, becanse the ohanges in the tariff affecting their industry were designed “to raise the farmers’ wages." And the Manufacturer, organ of the ultra-protectionists of the Philadelphia Manufacturers’ Club, pub. lishes this for the encouragement of the farmer: “The prices of wool have always declined when the duties have been advanced, and no doubt exists in the mind of any well-informed man that they will again decline, now that the new tariff law has put the duties up. ” The Leader and the Manufacturer sho’d get together and find ground for an agreement before the farmer becomes bewildered.

In introducing Mr. Springer, of Illinois, at the Thurman banquet, Toastmaster Outhwaite presented him as “one of the distinguished leaders of the suppressed minority in the present House of Bepresentatives, but as a man who had never been suppressed himself. [Cheers.]”— Congressman Springer was warmly welcomed and spoke as follows: “Mr. Toastmaster and Gentlemen of the Thurman Club: “I did not expect to be called upon to respond to any sentiment on this occasion, and, therefore, will be very brief in response to that which has been suggested. To the press of the country we owe much for the result of the recent election. [Applause.] The press has at last taught the American people that a protective tariff is a tax. [Applause.] Mr. McKinley, in his reeent interview, stated that the recent elections had gone against the Bepublican party for the reason that the people did not understand his bill. [Laughter.] The reason that the recent elections went against the Bepublioan party is that the people did understand his bill.— [Laughter and cheers.] And for this understanding of the nation we are indebted to the press of the country. [Applause.] To the press we are indebted for the fact that on Tuesday last 150 majority of representatives were returned to the Fiftysecond Congress opposed to the McKinley bill. We will also do indebted to the press for guiding that majority in the future to wise and patriotic legislation. [Applause. J It will restore to the House of BepresentAtives its deliberative character. [Applause.] It willlre-establish constitutional and cpnservatii e methods of legislation which have prevailed for 100 years .and make the House of Bepresentatives what it ought to be, a deliberative body. It will also point the way to future success, and in the great contest of 1892 we need not go beyond this banquet hall for A leader," It will continue to be the duty of the Demooratic press tp present the great eeonomic and other questions to the people whose intelligence are quick to reach the proper solution, aDd who, in their honest conviction of right, will apply the yemedy to the evils foisted upon the #Q»£t jy through F«nnblican legislation. The Omaha Bee, Republican, says that “those who are not tariff fsad see that such necessities of life as lumber, coal %nd salt—the raw products of the earth—ought to be admitted free,” and that “there is no season why duties should be r.deed on cotton and wopllen goods, Which are alreadv manufactured J»prp extensively and very

profitably.” It holds that “each mistakes as these should be remedied by the present Congress, for their unreasonableness is so palpable that they prejudice the people against the whole protective system,” and it concludes: “The Republican duty of the hour is to face the situation, rectify the party’s recent blunders and firmly uphold the cardinal principles that have inspired its founders and placed it in con- j trol of national aftVirs for more than a ‘ quarter of a century.”

HE IS BEATEN BUT THEY ARE STILL WITH US. • Never Mind the Pinching—Clarkson Says You Can Get Used To It. IS WANAMAKER A DEMOCRATIC CONSPIRATOR f Charles E. Allen writes to the Philadelphia Press, that during the late polttioal campaign he “read all the leading papers in these parts, Republican and Democratic, and also came in contact with gentlemen who travel the oountry over, as travelling salesmen. Cn of the things which in Mr. Allen’s opinion “went a long, long ways in defeating us in the eleotion” was this: John Wanamaker’s advertisements, ,’day after day, about “Buy your tinware now, before the McKinley bill goes into effect.” McAdoo, of New Jersey, travelled all through the New England States addressing t e farmers. He invariably road Wanamaker’s advertisement cut from the Philadelphia Press, to “buy your tinware now, before it goes up in price.” “No wonder,” concludes the letter, “the countryman.was frightened into either staying home or voting the Democratic ticket. PLAIN TABLE CROCKERY. U Providence, R. 1.,N0v. 12, 1890.—Although the election is past the new tariff bili continues to get in its work in a way that cannot be misunderstood by Providence merchants. A Westminster street crockery importer, who does a big business, received a lot of English white ware. The invoice price was $265. On crates and packing alone the duties amounted to about sl9, while the total duties were about $118,75, not quite half of the cost of the ware in England. The duty on the crates will be made up, however, by higher prices on the dishes. ” We have not the time nor the space to give the notices before us in full this week, and will therefore be content to present them to our readers in condensed form: MORE ABOUT GLOVES. L. V. Holzmaister, 37 and *>39 Greene Street, New York, notifies his customers that he is “reluctantly compelled to advance prices on various lines of kid gloves,” on account of the McKinley bill. The Wholesale R. J. Roberts Agency, 95 West Broadway, N. Y., gives notice “that on account of the advanoe in duty” on cutlery, “we are compelled to withdraw all former prices and xuotations.” John & James Dobson, a Philadelphia firm of Republican manufacturers of carpets, friends’ of Wanamaker, and contributors to the Republican campaign funds, advertise "prices will soon be dvanced. Examine our list.” This in view of the operation of the McKinley bill. At a meeting of moulding and picture frame manufacturers, held in Chicago, it was resolved that “Owing to the increased duty,” * * * “an advance of 15 per cent, be made on all mouldings and picture frames.” Arms, Ammunition and the Ammu nition Trust. —We are sorry, but we we must remind our customers that we cannot sell imported guns at last year’s prices. ******* For details in full we refer you to the new tariff law.” “We may also remind you that the reason metallic cartridges are so very dear is simply the high duty of 45 per cent, and a combination or trust entered into by all the United States producers, six in number, fixing the price. At the same time, if it comforts you to know it, these same manufacturers have an export price, and export more of this ammunition to all the countries in the world than any other nation. To send the goods even no farther than Canada they not only have to compete with “foreign pauper labor, ” bnt the duty from this country there is 30 per cent. Put 45 per cent, iinport duty and 30 per cent, export duty together, with freight and charges, and you wiil see readily that we pay nearly 100 per cent, for “protection,” and yet the “pauper labor” of Canada gets as good wages as the “pauper labor” of the United States. Peter Sudebaker, of the South Bend, Ind., carriage and wagon firm, recently declared that “the McKinley bill will have the most disastrous effect on their business. ” To a su>, gestionthat the price of carriages and wagons be advanced,” Mr. Studebaker replied that “it would be impossible, * * * * an( j that the only way to meet the inconveniences arising fiqm McKinley’s measure was to reduce the wages of the employes.” All goods in my line can be had, for cash, from this date until the Ist of January, 1891, regardless of cost. We are bound to sell though at a great sacrifice.
