American Nails Are Hold 81 l'er Kef Leu In Foreign Than In Home Market. Cheaper to Iluy In Germany and Pay Freight Twice Acroaa the Ocean. Ill unnikiiig of tho exports yesterday Tho Times remarked tlutt American tnudo naihi wero Belling uliroad at $1 n keg cheaper than at homo. It in general ly known that tlio Iron and Bteel trust ban succeeded in raiNinu; the price of nails, or rather continuing tlio ruine. For since hiHt May tlio nail monopoly bus been steadily at work. Tho Iron trust lias raised tho price of besseiuor pig iron from $11 in May, 18'Jo, to $13 in May, 180(1. Tho Nail trust, however, has carried tho prico of cut nails up from 70 cents to $3. 30 a keg and of wiro nails from 85 cents to $2. 55 that is, while raw material has been advanced 18 per cent in price, Wiro nails havo been advanced 200 per cent and cut nails 228 per centl Tho exports of nails from this country have been large. Even under the Mo Kiuloy act in 1803 we exported 17,904, 848 pouuda In the years under the Wil son act we have increased our exports enormously. In 1894 they wcro 19,970, 419 pounds, In 1895, 21,202,605 pounds, and if wo judgo 1890 by the exports of 2,073,280 in February, we shall this year soil tho foreigners 35,079,300 pounds of nails. Ill view of tho rise in price tins largo export trade is remarkable Tho expla nation, however, is furnished by the proieciiouisiH tin iiiwivi n. rur, bub iuu Fitt.sburg Commercial-Ouzetto: "Tlio long iind short of it is, accord ing to the present prices of tlionail pool, that a man using American nails in Germany can buy tliem almost $1 cheap er than ho can buy tlio sumo nails with which to build iv houso in Pittsburg, where the nails aro made, "As a natural result, American whole salers began to find it cheaper to buy American nails in Germany, pay the freight buck homo and resell them here. "The scheme was qxralrd as follows: Tlio New York firm would ship the nails to a Hamburg hardware company or to some other foreign put. Instead i of being unloaded the cargo remained ' intact and wits sent back to Baltimore, j Philadelphia or Boston, consigned to a jobbing importer. Ho would then (lis poso of tho nails to American wlu;lo sulers at a rnce below that asia-ti 101 Worl(1 As l)resi,iontial candidate he utiils for d( niestic use. As the nails ,)ns bmi forced to 1TStraiw his predileo wcromado by Amencan faett ras, and tj t jko and to let fly all sorts of bulk had not been broken on the other side, no tiU'i'T was collected when they wcro brought back. "Wiro nails uro quoted in tho Ger man markets nt ipl..r)4 to $1.00 nt the mills, and tho freight to tho sreport would liniko them liii.lier there. "American nails wcro s;:ld to (lie ex porter for $1.45 (price now t'i pet plo ( f the United Mtutcn, $a.6u), and it costs 20 cents to send them across the Athtu tio and 20 cents t:i return them. They were landed back in America for $1.85 pi'i Kt'4. 111U 11114 II I nirviuiiOHiiiiip, they probably cost about $1.00 net. Had ! tho nails been bought for domestic ufo 1 tliey would havo cost $2,45 (tho prico is HOW $2.55 lit Pittsburg tllld $2.70 lit: New- York), whiih gave tlio exporter a margin of Do cents. " This is not tho first time such a thiu: has happened in this country. In ISC'.i congress raised the duly 011 copper ore The mines 011 Lake Superior were the richest in tho world and could eiwily havo supplied t lie United States lucre cheaply and abundantly than any otln r country. As u result of the "protection, " how ever, the companies which controlled tho copper mines formed a combination and put up prices outrageously. At the sumo time they shipped copper ubrotid ut prices far below what they charged at home. Indeed, the combine occasion ally found competition in their own product returning from abroad Their profits wcro enormous, and tlio peoplo had nmplo justification for regretting that tho mines were not in Kuropc in stead of in America. Tho case of tho Nail trust is similar. It fixes home prices at $1 a keg ubovo its prices to foreigners. It finds its own products returning from Europe and undernelling it. Its profits are enor mous, one concern making profits of 27' per cent on a capital of $4,000, 000 in 1805 and 30 per cent this year.- But these profits aro not enough for tho greedy trust. It wunts more "pro tection," It must havo more protection or it will fuil to mako 50 per cent on its money. It sent abroad 2,973,280 pounds of nails in February, but it must bo protected so it can continue to churge$la keg more to homo dealers than to foreigners. The protection it wants, however, is protection against itself ami the people. Kansas City Times. Opposed to a Straddler. Major McKinley's flat refusal to con fess whero ho stunds on tho money issue elicits pointed commentaries from' the ; 41.,...,.i.,.a Vl- 1!. ,uf., i'l.lol. I go and other groat business centers. The consensus of opinion is visibly adverse to tho nomination of a straddler nt a time when plain sinking is of vital im portance, Pittsburg Leader. Great Fiprctations.

Children Cryfor IN A MISFIT NIMBUS. What Dlalllualan When the People Bee McKluley Without HI llalol It is said that Benjamin Harrison has given expression to tlio opinion that if SleKinley should bo elected to the presi dency bo would not bo stiweeded in of fico by a Republican. This opinion is undoubtedly shared by a large number of other prominent Republicans. Tlio imaginary and entirely mythical McKiuley who is now being so enthusi astically boomed throughout tho coun try is not the real McKiuley nt alL Tho real McKiuley is an amiablo man, a statesman of ono idea, and reputed to bo a man of very poor executivo quali ties. The imaginary McKiuley cannot bo elected president becauso ho docs uot exist If tlio real McKiuley, however, should chance to be elected (an improbable event) he would present such a contrast to the imaginary individual that one of tho greatest reactions that have over oc curred in American politics would sure ly result If tho American peoplo once catch a glimpse of McKiuley without his halo on, there will come a national disillu sion such ns tho country has not often seen before. Tho McKiuley boom ers have concealed tho reul features of their candidute by arraying him in a misfit nimbus. They havo enveloped him in an aureole thut is too large for him. But the people are likely to see through this iridescent envelope the real form and features of the man dur ing tho campaign. Democracy will do its best to clear away tho glamour through which tho Ohioau is seen by certain Republicans. It is more than likelv to succeed If elected, McKiuley would probabl prove u weak and powerless president, both on account of his lack of natural endowment for the oflieo and on account of his untc-electiou pledges, which, it seems, his managers are making indis criminately. Tliero would consequently bo sure to follow a tremendous political reaction. General Harrison was not talking through grandfather's hat when he said that McKiuley could not bo succeeded by n Republican president. Boston Globe. DESIGN FOR A M'KINLEY BUTTON.

" A McKinley campaign button, made on the lino of Reed's idea, might re semble somewhat tho above picture. The bracketed ( U. S. ) means that this bug is peculiar to tho United States. A Double Jointed Affair. California is for freo silver and Mc Kinley. Perhaps tho Reeds and Plutts and Quays can now seo that our ex-governor was wise iu not allowing himself to bo forced into tho eastern gold trap. McKinley on a gold platform in the east and on a silver declaration iu the west doesn't look precisely consistent, but there is the tariff to bind him to both places. No other Republican has a dou blo jointed machine like McKinley's. Cincinnati Euquirer. Doesn't Say a Word.
