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.

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?. As usual our farmers will suffer.
Protection is a humbug. AH tariff should he
for revenue caly.
