WHAT EYI'I.AIXS IT. The McKlnlcv tarlfl against compel! tion In tin-plate offers the American tli plate combine 8 profit cf 80 per cent, over the price of foreign tin delivered In Kew York harbor. The natural expectation would be that to realize thle profit they would hasten to put American tin plate on the market, yet after a long search for American tin-plate In commercial quanti- lies the New York Evening Post thus summarizes the result: The Tribuut went so far as to say on April 24 that the "American market lias been so far filled by American tin-plate as to compel the Velsh trust to shut down." We continue our search for some of this tin with renewed vigor after read ing this statement, and seveial American tin consumers and dealers join us In It. One of these, after spending several days in vain efforts to buy American tin, sent to us, on Uay 14, an older for the "entire supply of American tin-plate for the trade during 1S91," accompanied by a guarantee 'to cut up In our regular trade all that will be made in just one week." We pub lished this offer, which came from one of the largest firms of tin consumers in this country, and solicited orders in response On May 20 we published for the first time the offer of N L Cort & Co. fui 6,000 boxes of American tlr.-plate, and a few days later displayed posters with both offers In our counting-room windows. Yesterday we published' a second offer from N L Cort & Co. to take 1 ,000 boxes a month for tlx months from July to December, and another order from C S Trench & Co. for 6,000 boxes during the same period. Both of these firms are dealers cf the highest commercial standing, and both of them have been trying for months past to find some American tin to buy. They can find "samples" and small quantities of a kind of tin which nobody wants, but no American tin In commercial quantities. They get, as we have, an abundance of personal abuse, but r.o tin. Where the price of foreign tin is to be forced up $2 20 a hundred pounds by a tai Iff tax, it is seemingly unaccountable that the tin-plate combine does not hasten to collect this bonus, but Tie RefuMic has already suggested an explanation which results will probably show to be sufficient. The tin-plate combine Is largely, if not entirely, composed of men already firmly established in the Iron business making some form of sheet or plale Iron, or Iron ware, with which tin-plate, which is only tinned sheet-iron, competes. This estab lished business is largely profitable already. The tax against the competition of tin plate with it will make It more so. The amount of tin-plate they will make will depend on the profits of this, their regular business In its relation to the possible profits of tin-plate making. They may be able to collect the tin-plate bonus without making any considerable amount of tin plate through the effect of the tin-plate tax in lessening competition with their regular products. Or, under the tax, they may find from time to time, in mak ing tin-plate Itself, a profit large enough to meet their views of a profit that is worth their while as fostered favorites of a paternal government. This will depend largely on how small a profit the English manufacturers will work for. They have a way of taking 2 per cent, when they cannot get 20, and it is very disagreeable to fostered favorites Who think competition a crime, Ameri can consumers cannot get around the tax of $2 20 a hundred on tin-plate. They must pay it on every pound tin-plate im ported, but the English manufacturers may lower their American delivery prices from a 20-per-cent to a 2-per-ccnt level of profit,or by cloro management and ingenu ity they may cut down the cost of produc tion. All such matters are seriously consid ered by our fostered favorites. When they sec an opportunity for So-per cent. profit, they will make tin-plate. When the English manufacturers, by cutting down both expenses and profits, set a price in this market that has much less than So per cent, in it for fostered favor ites the fostered favorites will go on attending to their regular business, though they may offer newspaper articles on the benefits of protection to those who try to buy tin-plate of them. It seems that the friends of Cleveland and Hill in New York are determined to make it necessary for the democratic national con vention to look to some o'ner slate for a can didate for president. It is not likely that the convention will nominate ClcvelanJ il he be unsupported by his own state. It is equally unlikely that the convention will nominate Mill even if he be supported by New York, liut there is a long list of other eminent dem ocrats Jo select fiom After the fall -elections will be the better time to name eandiJatet, Two remarkable occurrences were re ported yesterday. One was the arrival of the south bound Roseburg express on schedule time. The other was the revo cation of a saloon keepers license In Tort- land for keeping a disorderly house. Mil Do You Want Sinner Cloli? A dispatch front London says: It is understood that the terms of a commercial alliance have been practically agreed upon between France and Russia, whereby each country will give preference to the products of the other. As Russia, in years of favorable harvest, is a large food exporting country, this arrangement will militate against the United States rither than England, although Itrltith manufacturers receive a severe blow from the new French tariff. Ia return for French con concessions, Russia will, it is said, give a preference to French manufacturers, while not retaining a string ent tariff for imports from other countries. The advantage thus piven to France enhances enormously the 'value of the Russian alliance, irrespective of any mot ive of hostility toward Germany. Thus it is il one country iiicrininates against another by moans ot a liii;li piotrctive taritf that o'.lier by similar tariff leisla:ion or by treaty stlpulation'may fully retaliate as in the aliOv?.
