A TIN-PLATED GOLD BRICK.
For upward of ten years tho pa
triotic American public has been con
tent to pay high prices for tlu plate
fo'r the sake of encouraging certain
Infant industries which It wus desired
to establish In America to compete
ftvjth tho tin plato factorial abroad.
These frull Industries aro now en-
gaged in uu unequal struggle with
the "giant labor trust" mid the clos
Jng down of their mills fpr a week or
two Is reported to have caused a great
scarcity of tin plato In tho American
A market, so much of u scarcity, In-
4j TRADES KyayjcOUHCJUp
5Yd, that the prlco luti already been
Advanced to $1.00 n box, with tho
prospect of lta.bclng doubled.
In nil these years, however, that
tho American peoplo were paying high
prices for their tin ware In exchange
for tho rather dubious nssuranco
that tho foreigner was paying tho
tnx, It oppears that the Standard Oil
company wus working Insidiously to
tear down tho grand principle of
protection to American Industries.
In other words, Instead of belug
willing to go Into tho homo market
and pay the samo prices which oth
er people had to pay for tin plate,
and thus contribute Its meagre share
to tho support of tho Infant Indus
tries, tho Standard Oil got n special
dispensation which permitted It to buy
Its tin plate direct from tho Welsh
manufacturers, niid to havo tho same
brought into America under suspen
sion of tho rules requiring tho for
eigner to pay the tax.
Tho whole story of repudiation
and dishonor Is told lu a dispatch
from New' York, of yesteiday's date,
which reads;
"The steamship Exeter City arriv
ed yesterday from England with 127,-
000 boxes of tin plate for tho Stand
ard Oil company. This, however, Is
not an unusual shipment Tho
Standard OH company buys no Amer
ican tin plato, when It can avoid it
All of ItH oil exported to certain
points of Europe Is shipped lu tins.
These tins aro made out of Welsh tin
plate. Under a provision of tho
Dlugley tailft bill tho Standard Oil
company and other exporters nro al
lowed a rebate of 0 per cent, on nil
tin plato re-exported In the shape of
cans."
And then the dispatch adds: "By
tho provision of this bill tho Standard
Oil company Is nblo to buy Its tin
plato much cheaper abroad than in
tho United States."
Alas for the unpatriotic and mer
cenary policy of tho Standard Oil
company, which not- only robs tho
nnncmlc infant Industry of Its scant
support, but takes from tho foreign
er Ills God-glvcn privilege of paying
the tuxl
A few more cxn tuples llko this, and
tho American peoplo will conclude
thnt the protection gold brick lu which
thoy havo Invested wus not oven cont-

enlighten breathless thousands on
"How It sounds when beer gurgles

For her ultlmnte emancipation from
the binding and retarding Influences,

must become moro of the physical

It Is said that something will bo

It Is ktowu thnt Mayor Doylo does not

cerning his plans, but It has leaked out
that bo nnd Solicitor Esgate are book
ed to bold a series of conferences In
which, ways will be devised for start
lug the movement towuid tho change.
So far as tho public has gone In tho
way of conclusion, the anticipated re
sult of tho conferences between the
Mayor and Solicitor will be a sug
gestion to tho City Council that a local
commission be appointed to prepare
plans for a satisfactory form of gov
ernment for Akron. An effort will bo
made to guide the Council away from
any political considerations in tho
appointment of a commission. Only
