"Well, at the request of the secre

Mime of my young friend up in
.Lowell, to see if bunting could be
made here.
"We found out how to make it; .
sent a man over to Kngland to,
learn; and we started it with twelve
looms, and there was a 40 per cent
tariff put on the bunting.
"What was the effect of that? I
would not, if 1 could have had my
own way, had more than 1 per cent
put tn it. Everybody said: 'Oh, !
General J hitler, put a great deal of
tariff on the hunting.' 1 knew too
much for that.
What was the effect of that? The
tariff was so high that within.twelve
years there were 1M.0O0 looms weav

and the hunting now has come

WHO WILL PaY THE INCREASE IN
TH E TI N-PLATE TARIFF?
The London Ironmonger, in an
article on the tin-plate situation,
say:
Plates for delivery beyond June
have for some time past been pur
chasable at :5s. to."s, per box less than
prompt lots.
There are 10S pounds in a box.
The increase, when the new duty
takes effect on Julyl, will be 1.2
cent a pound or S1.S0 a box. The
Ironmonger's statement means,
then, if it means anything, that
when a Welsh tin-plate manufac
turer sells a box of tin plates to be
delivered after the Tariff will have
been increased, for five shillings
(fl.li'J) less than the price he charges
when the plates are delivered under
the old and lower duty, he is simply
agreeing to pay the increase, or at
least twelve-thirteenths of it, him
self. There is no dogging this con
cl usion.

The Mugwump cannot avoid this
conclusion by islead inglthat nresent
price are abnormally high, and at
tributing this condition to the
McKinley bill. In the lirst place
the duty on tin plates has notasyet
been touched. If the Welsh titi
llate makers have bled us, they did
it under an unchanged Tariff rate.
uid their action only illustrates
how completely in their power we
have been with no tin-plates mills
ofour own to curb their capacisy.
And in the second place, the ad
vance of the last few months in
prices of tin plates was not at all
an unusal occurrem e. It was an
old game of Welshmen. They had
the power to put prices up when
and how the' wished, and they
used it for all there was in it. Time
and time again have price of plates
soared up on shorter notice and
much higher than was the case last
winter. In June, lS70,tfor instance,
coke tin plates were quoted a $5.50 a
box. On Feburary 1, 1SS0, the;price
of the srme grade of plates was $9 a
box. Here was a rise of..50 a box
in a few months at a time when no
Tariff change was thought of. with
no justification for the advance ex
cept the foreign manufacturer's
ni?i ioi gum, ami ins power to ex
tort what price he willed from
American customers. Tin-tlate
j.
prices before October were abnor
mally low, owing to peculiar trade
conditions with which the Tariff
had very little to do. Imports of
plates during the first months of
18'JOwere very light, accompanied.
of course, by unusually low prices
in Wales. There is no justification
in the Mugwinnp assumption that
these low prices are the norm to
which present prices must be re
ferred, and that any advance above
this norm is due to the McKinley
bill. There norm is itself abnor
mal. We are going to keep an e3 e
on the Mugwump. And this is
what we expect to see: When
American tin-plate mills jeiii"r to
supply the home market, and the
competition thus engendered, not

but also between home and foreign
tin-plate makers, begets new inven
tions, improved methods. better
plates and lower prices thah have
ever yet been seen, theMugwump
