While farm products advanced, the prices
of those articles the farmer has to purchase
declined as per the following table, the

resented by 100:

I believe that in no period of equal length
in the history of the country has there been
such a marked i rovement in the condi-
tion of any class 0 people as can be shown
by irrefutable testimony to have taken
place in the condition of the farmers of this
country since the passage of the act of 1890.
There has been a great advance in the
sum received by them for their crops and
a substantial declinein prices of articles,
especially. manufactured products, which
they are obliged to purchase. The farmer
today, with an equal number of bushels of
grain or pounds of meat, can buy more and
better clothing, machinery or supp ies than
ever before. Within this period undreds
of millions of dollars of their indebtedness
have been paid 03, and as a class their
financial condition vastly improved. By.
the operations of the act of 1890 the farmers
were given larger and more profitable mar-
kets both at home and abroad; as an in-
stance of this our exports to Cuba-largely.
of agricultural products—were increased
during the ten months ending June 30,
1892, as compared with the corresponding
ten months of the previous fiscal year, 85,-
700,000, or an increase of 54.86 per cent.
The following shows the rapid growth of
our foreign commerce:

1892 .................... 1,030,335,626 15 7]
No other country can show such arecord
of expansion and development. It will be
seen that the excess of exports over im-
ports, or balance of trade in our favor, was
$202,944,342 in 1892, an excess of exports
over imports that has been exceeded in
amount but three times in the history of
the country.
The follow.n‘g table shows the percentage
of free and dutiable importations under
each of our tariff laws enacted since 1847:

1884 to 1890 ..... 66.5 33.5
1892- .......................... 44.6 55.4
It will be observed that the ad valorem
rate on all importations for the fiscal year
1892 was 20.65 per cent., the lowest rate
since 1861, and a lower rate than the ave:-
age imposed by the act of 1846.
An analysis of details of both imports
and exports will develop the fact that de-
sirable changes «have taken place in the
character of each. The exports of manu-
. factured and other articles, exclusive of all
farm and agricultural products and pe-
troleum, amounted in value in 1892 to
$237,665,370. This value of exportation of
manufactured articles, etc, it will be ob-
served is 832,000,000 greater than the total
average annual value of all exports for the
period 1847 to 1861.
I also present a table, which I will have
printed, showing the value of the exports
of the leading products for each year from
1888 to 1892, inclusive. The amount of
duty per capita collected during the fiscal
year 1892 was $2.62; that is, less than half
the relative amount collected in 1872, the
amount for the latter year having been
85.28 per capita.
These statements and comparisons must
be extremely gratifying to every patriotic
American. They show beyond any possi-
bility of doubt that the expansion of our
foreign commerce was accelerated rather
than narrowed and limited by the act of
1890, as stated by the senator from Mis-
souri.
[The senator then quoted the oft pub-
lished statement that wool .growers- re—
ceive no benefit from protection, referred
to a recent statement by Mr. S. N. D.
North, secretary of the Wool Manufac-
turers’ association, pointed out that his
reference was to wools of very different
kinds and continued]:
It is true, however, that the statement
furnished by Mr. North does apply to
specific grades of wool and to grades that
for many years have sold in London and
the United States at substantially the
same prices. They are, however, sold in
their respective markets in very different
conditions, and the net cost of cleaned
wool to purchasers is widely difierent.
The senator from Missouri was not aware,
[dmsumthetsmlliorthhadnretested
in a published letter against the use which
had been made ofhis figures. Mr. North’s
calculations of the relative shrinkage of
the two grades of wool establishes the fact
that the difference in their actual value
was about equal to the wool duties levied
by our tarifi. The Australian wools are
sold skirted, while the Ohio wools are not.
For the purpose of showing the actual
cost to an American manufacturer of a
pound of scoured domesq’c wool purchased
in the United States as compared with the
cost to his English coupetitor of a pound
of secured wool of similar quality in Lon-
don, I submit the following table, which
shows the average annual price for each
of the twelve years, 1881 to 1892, inclusive,

Justice, Bateman &' Co. make the fol-
lowing statement in regard to the wools
included in this latter table:
“Both of the above grades are three.
eighths or one-half blood merino. They
each shrink about 40 per cent. in the scour-
ing. There are perhaps no other wools in
the world so nearly alike and so suitable
for a fair comparison of the European and
American prices as Ohio medium and the .
grade of Australasian medium known as
New Zealand crossbred, as they are both
spun to the same number of counts.”
[The senator here presented the oflicial
labor statistics showing that in Massa-
chusetts the annual profits on capital in—
vested in woolen mills are less than 6 per
cent. and in worsteds in 1890 but 2.21 per
cent, while in Connecticut it was 7.57 per
cent. in 1890, 4.27 per cent. in 1889 and but
4.73 per cent. in 1888, while in 1887 there
was an actual loss of 1 per cent. He then
declared that the object of the McKinley
bill was to multiply and diversify indus-
tries; that it had done so, despite the ad-
verse effect of the elections of 1890, and
continued]:
The men who were active in presenting
the case in behalf of the tin plate industry
to the committees of congress and who
have been the pioneers in its establishment
have been subjected to undeserved villifica-
tion and abuse. It would appear that in
the eyes of a tariff refoigner to suggest the
inauguration of a new industry in the
United 'States is a misdemeanor, and to
achieve even partial success in such an en-
terprise is a crime for which no punish-
ment is too severe”.
Notwithstanding all the clamor and
plain downright lying that have been in-
dulged, in by..the men who are putting
every obstacle in the way of success in the
establishment of this great industry of the
United States, the work of building it up
has gone steadily-forward. The number
of pounds of tin and terne plate manufac-
tured in each of the quarters of the fiscal
year which closed on the 30th of June,
1892, was as follows:
Quarter 'ending—
September 30, 1891 .............. . ........ 826,922
December 31, 1891 ....................... 1,409,821
March 31, 1892 .............. . ............ 3,004,087
J has 30, 1892 ............................. 8,225,691
Of the 8,225,691 pounds produced in the
last quarter over 5,000,000 pounds were
made from black plates produced in the
United States. The competent special
agent of the treasury department who has
the collection of statistics in regard to tin
plates in charge estimates in a letter
which I submit and will have printed in
The Record that the production for the
current fiscal year will be at least 100,000,-
000 pounds, and that by the close of the
year the production will be at the annual
rate of 200,000,000 pounds.
The special agent has also prepared for
me a list of the twenty-six firms and cor-
porations who have produced tin or terne
plates in the last quarter, with the amount
produced by each. Seven of these names
appear in the list of producers for the first
time, and Mr. Ayer reports that some
eight or ten additional firms expect to be-
gin the manufacture within the present
quarter. Many of the names included in
the list represent the strongest firms in the
country, several of whom were among the
most ardent opponents of the imposition
of the additional duties;
I have requested a gentleman who is
thoroughly familiar with conditions on
both sidesof the Atlantic to furnish Inc a
statement of the relative cost of producing
tin plates at the present time. This state-
ment, which I submit and will have
printed in The Record, shows the details
of cost in the two countries. These figures
show that the cost of making 10 coke plate
today in the United States is $5.35 per box,
and in Wales $3.20 per box.
A close analysis of this table will show
that the difference in cost is really a differ-
ence in the wages paid in tl‘two countries.
To substantiate this more fully, I submit
and will have printed in The Record a table
showing the wages actually paid per box
in tin and black plate .mills in “'ales and
in the United States.
In order to show how completely the
Welsh manufacturers control the price of'
tin plates and how they have . been accus-
tomed to manipulate-the market for their
own benefit,_usually at the expense of con-
sumers in the United States, I submithere-
with a statement which. shows the relative

Bessemer tin plate bars
per ton ........... . ...... $9.76 24.94 23.04
Tin per ton ......... . ..... 457.45 444.67 489.85
By this table it appears that while the
price of IC coke tin advancgl between
September, 1890, and May, 1891, 65 cents a
box, the price of Bessemer bars declined
$1.82 per ton and the price of pig tinde-
clined 812.78 per ton. .
With the decline which took place in
bars alone between September and May,
other things being equal, the. price of tin
plate should have declined 11 cents per
box. Instead of this there was an ad-
vance or 65 cents per box, made possible
by the condition of aflairs in America,
the American tin plate duties going into
efiect July 1, 1891, and the profits of the
Welsh manufacturers were increased 76

, IS acknowledged lby dealers and cOn-'
sumer-s to be thestandard family soap.
True merit alone can attain such praise.
“The price of coal also declined in this
period 36 cents per ton. Wages and other
costs undoubtedly remained substantially
unchanged, as the wages paid (union prices)
in tin plate works in \Valcs have not
changed for fifteen years.
An equally striking exhibition is made .
in the comparison between May, 1891, and
July, 1892. In this period the price of bars
further declined 81.90 per ton, and the re-
duction in a box of tin plates based upon
this decline should have been 12 cents a
box, other things remaining equal. In-
stead of this, the actual decline was $1.03
per box, or a reduction in this case of the
profits of the erlsh manufacturer of 91
cents per box. ,
It is evident from these statements that
the Welsh prices are put up and down in
response to existing exigencies in the
United States. “Then the prophecies of
their allies on this side of the water in re-
gard to high prices were to be verified
prices were put up 90 cents per box in the
face of asharp decline in materials; but
when American manufacturers are to be
discouraged and, if possible, driven out of
the market on the eve of an election, the
price is put down 81.03 per box.
The tin plate industry of the United
States is now an accomplished fact. But
one thing is necessary for its triumphant
success, and that is the maintenance of
the protective duties. '
The exports from Great Britain to the
United States for the last fo years have
Ewen, as follows, amounts stated in gross
ons:
1889 ............. 331,073 1891 .............. 442,306
1890..... ........ 206,218 1892"... ......... 203,941
The exports of the last twelve months
being 238,365 tons less than for the previ-
ous year. 92,277 tons less than in 1890 and
127,732 tons less than in 1889.
Of the amount imported about 67,000
tons are made into cans which are again
exported, and a drawback is paid on them
equal to the duties paid. The larger part
of the amount used at home will be pro-
duced in the United States within two'
years if the protection is maintained. If
we assume the home consumption last
year to be net 450,000,000 funds, 7 per
cent. of it was of American production.
The following list of prices of galvanized
sheet iron, No. 24 gauge, for each of the

Cotton ties are now made at home and
supplied at a lower cost to the consumer.
Similarly the tariff has transferred the
manufacture of lace window curtains, silk
and mohair plushes, pearl buttons and
many other industries to the United States.
Many industries dull and lifeless for a con-
siderable period before the act of 1890 are
new active. The Boston Herald of J uly,
15, 1892, says:
“Where is the idle woolen mill today?
Indeed there is none, or the number is so
few that they are not worth counting. Not
only is the great majority of the woolen
mills employed, but many of the manu-
facturers are contemplating enlargements
and improvements, or such enlargements
and improvements are already begun.
What does this all mean? It means simply
the greatest consumption of wool that the
country has known for years.”
The importations of dutiable articles in
1889 amounted in value to $389,000,000 and
in 1892 to $863,500,000, or a decline in three
years of 825,350,000. If the value of the
imported articles of this class had increased
at the same ratio with the increase in the
value of all impc’ations in 1892 it would
have been $50,000,000 greater than in 1889
instead’ of 825,500,000 less. It would appear
from this comparison that articles of the
foreign value of at least 875,000,000 were
produced in the United States in the fiscal
year 1892, which, if it had not been for the
adoption Of the act of 1890, would have
been imported. If we add a portion of
average rate of duty to this sum we should
have a value of domestic production re-
deemed from foreign competitors of at
least $100,000,000. This production would
furnish employ;,-cnt to 200,000 people and
support nearly a million. All of this i8 of
course an addition to the natural‘ growth
of our industries.
In regard to trusts it is the climax of ab-
surdity to say that the businesg" of woolen
manufacturing in the United States is or
ever has been controlled to any extent by
a trust. N 0 such trust or even a. combina-
tion of any kind has ever existed. It would
be quite impossible to make any combina-
tion that would or could control prices or
production of woolen goods, as the number
of establishments is so great and the styles
manufactured of such infinite riety.
For the purpose of ascertaini g the truth
in regard to these alleged trusts, whose
- imaginary history covers more than twenty
pages of The Congressional Record, I ad-
dressed a letter to at least one well known
manufacturer connected with each of the
principal industries that were included in
the list. Isubmit and will have printed
in The Record a copy of my letter of in-
quiry, and of the replies received.
‘The representatives of seventy-nine in-
dustries replied to my letter of inquiry.
Of these the representatives of seventy-two
deny in the most emphatic manner thé
existence of any trust in the industries
with which they are connected, most of
them, as will be seen by an examination of
the letters, denying in detail all the state-
ments published by the senator from Mis-
souri. Seven of the parties denied the ex-
istence of a trust, but admitted in a quali-
fied way the existence of combinations
which were intended to be more or less
eflective in controlling prices.

Wasnmo'rox, Sept. 9.—A number of
the bands that will c'ome with Grand
Army posts have been heard from and
they all say that they will b) willing to
take part in the grand patriotic concert,
which is proposed to be given during en-
campment week.
There are now 150 bands coming to this
city, and while Mr. W. H. Daniel, who
. has worked the matter up, has not as
yet heard from all of them, still he is
quite certain that tne united band will
represent an aggregate of 1500 pieces.
No doubt it will be still larger, but at
the present time that number seems as-
sured. Mr. Sousa, the former leader of
the Marine band, will endeavor as con-
ductor to evolve from this array of in-
struments the strains that are franilar as
national airs. It is proposed to have this
concert at 5.30 o’clock on the afternoon
of the 2lst inst. The exact location has
not been selected. It will, of course, be
an open air concert, and two plans have
been suggested, one on the eastern plaza
of the Capitol, and the other at the West
front, the band occupying the ellipse
and the audience filling the stair-ways
and the terraces.

NEW YORK, Sept. 9,—Gertie Brodie,
wife of “Steve” Brodie, the bridge jumper
was swindled out of $37 yesterday.
“Steve” was in New Orleans to see the
big fight. A messenger boy entered
Brodie’s saloon at No. 114 Bowery in the
afternoon and handed Mrs. Brodie a
message reading as follows:—-- - l

Fifteen minutes later a tall, slim man
appeared with a small bundle and stated
that there were $37 charges to collect.
Mrs. Brodie paid the money and, got a
receipt bearing the heading of Hamann

The package contained a brass neck
chain.
A MONETARY CONFERENCE.
It ll Not Likely to be Held Until After the
November Election,
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.4The interna-
tional monetary conference will probably
not take place until after the presiden-
tial election.
President Harrison and the secretary
of the treasury have several times post.
poned intended conference on the sub-
iect while waiting further correspon-
dence from Europe, and while abserbed
by the fight to keep out the cholera.
The danger that the cholera may break
out at the place selected for the confer-
ence has led to hesitation in fixing a
place of meeting, and it does not seem
probable that instructions could be pre-
pared for the delegates, and full consul-
tation held with them much before the
first of November.
It is hoped that the cholera will have
been confined to a few places by that
time, and that approach of winter will
afford a guarantee that it will not spread.
Several of the delegates from this country
would like to remain here until after
election in order to vote and take an
active part in the campaign, and the time
is now so near that their wish will prob-
ably be gratified.
Correspondence regarding the place of
meeting is still going on, and, if cholera
is thoroughly suppressed ther Paris may
be the place finally chosen. 8
