traders a chicago organ of McKinley ism asks two years or so ago were you not howling that the tin plate duty was an infamous imposture that c not result in the establishment of tin plate industries in the united states no free traders were not howling bowling that two years ago or at any other time so tar far from denying they have always affirmed that it was possible to establish an industry by the tariff method or by the bounty method they have always affirmed that if persons wishing to engage in industry were assisted by bounties high enough or by arming them with power to tax the their fellow citizens heavily enough they could succeed this Is the very thing to which free traders strenuously object they insist not only that it is wretched economy but that it Is grossly iniquitous either to tax the people and hand the money over to individuals to swell their gains or to give those individuals power to collect taxes from their neighbors themselves they agree with wilh the supreme court of the united states in the opinion that this sort of thing is not taxation but robbery under tile lorms of law and that government cannot justly do any such thing with respect to the tin plate industry so far from saying that it could not ae e made profitable by the tariff method they have strongly objected to being axed by that method to make it profet krofl ible ble they have strongly objected to twine taxed to make that industry ex es profitable as they were under he mckinley law the proof that hey were so taxed in seen in the fact hat the tin plate men have gone right n establishing more plants and jr ja creasing their output MF me n new ew luty which Is 1 wore than half as ai as the mckinley duty the organ asks whether it is not rue that nearly tin plate plants vere

of 1894 1994 there was an american I 1 rin fin plate association before the ml ainley law existed and it ha been ir in xi stence ever since it may mav be that his association did not anteal attempt P to restrict production or to maintain price after the repeal of the mckinle ariar that was hardly necessary j they could not produce tin to supply more than half of the american knie rican demand and there was no difficulty about holding prices up to the I 1 agures gures made by the tanh without form ng a trust the industry had not arrived at rust stage that stage is re reached achl I 1 when hen an industry has become became bo developed lev Jev eloped that it is able to overstock I 1 the he home market then com petit cu I 1 I 1 ets in and it Is no longer possible to I 1 nold prices up to the tariff level otherwise than by combination then th the e rust comes in and enables the protected I 1 captains of industry to exact their full pound of flesh it is thus that the tariff breeds trusts by supplying the motive for their organization aniza tion the protectionists projectionists have been tilling telling the people that their system reduces prices in the long run through competition among tte t e pro tec tees they have been telling a falsehood feb the trust steps in and phrot mea flea competition while the tariff enables it to p practice extortion this is not less leas true of the tin plate industry than of any other for it is still in enjoyment of plenty of protection it is not true as the mckinley organ woul bouli i have its readers believe that the new law has deprived that industry of protection tec tion if the stage of real competition has been reached which probably Is not the case the tariff motive to I 1 organize a trust for the practice of extortion has come into play just as i it t has in a score or more of industries which are still much too considerately protected chicago chronicle I 1 the united states of T 11 reed rd an esteemed republican contemporary r
