TIN PLATE PRICES.
It is a peculiar fact, to which the
American Economist calls atten
tion, that foieign-made tin plate
found its lowest price during
fifteen years after the increase of
American duties upon it. Ryland's
(English) Jron Trade Circular
quotes the highest prices obtained
for charcoal I C tin plates, thus:

More than this, tbe Liverpool
price for foreign tin plate fell after
the very first month of the opera
tion of the McKinley bill. The
prices stood thus at Liverpool
during 1891:
Jaruiary, $4.14; February, $4 32;
iMarch,$4.32; April, $4.32; May, $3.77;
June, $3.71; July, $3.71; August, $3.22.
And at the last named rate it
stood during the remainder of the
year.
The increased duty went into ef
fect July 1, 1891 ; so that in January,
February and March at Liverpool
the average price was $4.22. Three
fourths of this was for United
States consumption, and the duty
on each box was $1.0S, But from
July onward the duty was $2.37,
which is an increase of $1.2.) per
box. Did the Liverpool exporter
add this $1.20, which will have to be
paid before landing in New York, to
the prices. Not at all. He
dropped his price by $1.10 per box
as 4 compensation to the United
States consignor, who would have
to pay the increased duty.
Nevertheless, the free trade
papers still are insisting upon it
that the American importer "pays
the tax, the whole tax imposed by
the tariff."

says Mr. Jas. O. Jones, -publisher of

latter case I used Chamberlain's
Cough remedy, and I think with
considerable success, only being in
bed a little over two days, against
ten days for the first attnek. The
second attack, I am ratslied, would
have been equally as bad as the
first but for the use of this remedy,
