MIST UK STUDIED,
The Herald t.ivt that the effect of the
tariff mutt be studied tojbe understood and
then proceeds to inform its readers that
tin cans which sold last summer In Baltl
more tor $3 a hundred are sold this year
for $a a hundred, though the duty on tin
plate has been increased. The evident
purpose of the tlcruld Is to leid Its readers
to believe that Increasing the duty on tin
plate would result in the reduction of the
price of tin cans. If our cotemporary and
its readers will carefully study the follow
Inn Indisputable facts and propositions it
will readily see its conclusions are wrong
The Increased duty on tin plate under the
' McKlnley law did not go Into effect until
July 1st 1S91, hence the tin cans sold in
Baltimore referred to above did not pay
the higher duty. The levying of a duty
will in general raise the price of the arti
cle upon which it Is placed,otherwise man
ufacturers and producers of articles would
not spend thousands of dollars to elect a
congress that would (pass laws Increasing
duties upon such articles. AH restrictions
and limitations on trade must necessarily
increase the price of the commodity sub
jected to the restriction. Since the pas
sage of the McKinley bill, and before the
first of July, the time when the McKln
ley tin plate duty went Into effect the
amount of tin imported Into this country
was more than double the amount for
the same period last year. It was done to
avoid paying the high duty. There is
more tin in the country now than at any
tme In the history of -the country, but it
is all foreign tin. If tin is selling cheaper
it is because of this super-abundance of
the supply, or because the manufactur
ers of tin cans have reduced the wages of
their employees. There Is no home made
tin on the market of any consequence. It
is indeed highly important to study the
effects of a tariff if It be understood.
The Minneapolis Journal Is a republican
newspaper, but not so thoroughly repub
lican as to believe n sticking to a false
hood after it has been completely exposed.
"The tinplate clackers," it says, "nave
precipitately tried to prove that great tin
works have been put into operation since
the McKinley bill was passed, and that af
ter July 1st the market will be supplied
from these sources. As a matter of fact
there Is no American tin-plate yet manu
factured. The American tin-plate sent in
sample about the country is simply made
of English Iron sheets dipped in a very
cheap quality of English white metal
There is no use trying to rpake people be
lieve that a thing is when It Isn't." This
candor Is .admirable. If all republican
newspapers were equally fond of the
truth, there would soon be no republiban
party.

American protection, in the niair, is a sue
cess. No complaint comes from Ike protected
clan. Sunday Merckry.
Of cnurse it is a' success so lar at they are
concerned who are protected; so far as they
are concerned who reap the benefits of protec
tion that scheme is eminently a success. The
Mttcury unwitlingl? makes an admission very
damiging to the scheme of protectionism. It
says "no complaint comes from the protected
clan.1' There is no cause for them to com
plain. So long at the great masses are taxed
or the benefit of the classes the classes will
not comnlain. No."lhe protected classes are
not complaining, bat the consumers are com

The new that the president Is to call on
senatoi Sherman to help his administra
tion out of the straits into which the billion-
dollar congress has plunged it is a striking
commentary on' republican politics in
Ohio. Mr Sherman has received many
honors at the hands of his party, but since
it ceased to be a party of principle he has
been the victim of the machinations of the.
worst and most corrupt element In the or
ganization. He has been persistently de
nied the highest honor. In three National
Conventions ills state delegations have de
ceived him, and at last he has bpen forced
to submit to direst humiliation at the
hands of perhaps the worst man who has
ever held '.he office of governor ol Ohio.
but now when real ability and long exper
ience are needed the president is forced to
turn to the discarded Sherman. He is for
use In statecraft; Foster and Foraker are
for politics.
A celebrated physician has remarked
that every house ought to be pulled don
at the end of the sixtieth year, as it has by
that time absorbed all of the diseases of
those that have lived in it. This idea is
based on the theory that wood and plaster
absorb gases foul air and feverish exhal
atlon as readily as milk or water docs. But,
as It Is not practicable to tear down houses
every half-century or so, some eminent
authorities claim that all wood used in the
interior constructions of houses, and all of
the surface of plaster, should be thorough
ly oiled or varnished, so that the power of
absorption would be almost entirely de
stroyed. In the latter event the destruct
ion of houses on sanitary grounds would
no longer be desirable.
The growth of nsils on the left hand re
quires eight to ten days more than those on
