The Kali Association.
The Western nail association has
determined that the works of lta mem
bers shall ccase manufacturing for six
weeks, the prices of nails te remain un
changed. The object Is te maintain
prices by reducing production, which
exceeds the demand. There nre mero
nail works than nre needed, and the
business used te be n very unprofltnble
one, before the association of the manu
facturers was formed. Fer seme years
under the association It has been profita
ble and no doubt will contlnue te be se
If the association can be main
tained. But there are times when
the bends of such associations nre
soverely tried. Jt Is net n pleasant thing
te step business and meet the cost of
maintaining the works whlle thore nre
nonreQts coming In. "When such sus
pensions beceme frequent, members of
the association who can manufacture
mero cheaply than ethers get tired
of the association's restraints; and
ether members who are net scru
puleus of their obligations seek
secretly te evade them. The final re
sult, in long periods of trade depression,
Is that the association falls te pieces and
the Individual members ceme under the
general law of the survival of the fit
test. The probability is that seme of
these days the nail association will suffer
this experlence.and we will have nails for
awhile nt u prlce below cost, as we used
te have. The nail men have been for a
geed while objects of envy te ether Iren
manufacturers, and the disposition has
been great, in all the branches of the
1 manufacture, te associate as they have
dene.
It is a question whether such associa
tions nre of ultimate public or private
advantage; and it is a mero p-nctlcal
question than that of free trade or pro
tective tariff. These associations work
much as a protective tariff te their
members. Their rules keep up the price
of their products te the consumer. If
the associations are net tee avaricious
and put the price of their goods at but a
moderate advance upon thelrcestlt may
be said that they de the community no
Injustice or harm ; for it Is net a
public benefit te have goods sell be
low thelr cost. Somebody has te
piy the difference ; and it Is the
creditors of the manufacturers, who pay
the piper for the dance, if it is net the
customers. The danger of the arrange
ment is that the manufacturers will put
their prices tee high, either because of
their greed or mere probably te protect
the members of the association who
produce their goods nt tee great cost. It
is net te the public interest that home
manufacturers, disadvantageous situa
ted for their work, shall be protected by
an undue tax upon the consumer. The
nail manufacturers' association does net
have a healthy leek. It ought net te be
necessary te step manufacture for se
long n period ns six weeks. Especially
at this season of the year, when the
work is most advantageously done, and
when the workmen can se 111 afford te be
idle. Nails are tee high according te
the price of iron; and it would have been
better te work off the surplus product by
dropping the profits instead of stepping
the works, though some of the concerns
did die In the effort.

The Xtw Em evade3 the tesue raised
by its commendation of Select Council
man Evans criticism upon the mayor's
veto message. The mayor pointed out
that 1,600 could net ba taken from a
fund which did net have that amount
remaining in it; and that nethintr
should be taken from a fund which had
te meet expenses of double the balance
yet left te it. Mr. Evans declared that
these expenses were net due out of this
year's appropriations; the Intelu Intelu
eenceu says they are. The Nc Em
should gainsay this or admit it It will
net de for it te point with pride te Mr.
Evans' repeated re-elections te councils.
The iNTKr.MQENCEn lias been Just as
ready te praise him when he Is right and
te commend his merits as a councilman
as any ether Journal In the city. It is
when he condescends te " clap-trap "
nnd approves a policy in public affairs
that he would net for n moment counten
ance In private business that we point
out ids inconsistency. Ami when he
talks about "clap trap "he only In
dulges In it himself. lie talks very
carelessly te. Fer example, iu councils
the ether evenlng he said . " The gaso
line lamps are frequently net burning In
many parts of the city, but. the police
never report them, for the reason that If
they did se it would hurt seme persons."
"When the truth Is that the non-burning
gasoline lamps have been regularly ro re ro
perttd every day for years by the police ;
their reperts have been en file at the
station house for all whom they might
concern, and are new in the hands of
the lamp committee.

of these committees Indicate that their

Certainly such subjects n3 civil service

the attention of enlightened statesmen.
As the move for these committees ceme3

presumed that the prevision for them

like as net, they will relieve him from
some of the terrific pressure te 'iich lie

Oru esteemed contemporary, the Ami
Em, with eminent propriety, criticises
the action of councils In accepting the
Maxim electric light without inquiring
into the very important question as te
whether the lights furnished are actually
of two thousand candle power, as the
company agreed te furnish. Our con
temporary says very forcibly " This
easy geiug way of doing business is no
doubt very convenient, but it is net ex
nctly what the taxpayers have a right te
expect or what they looked for." The
Xeic Em is hardly consistent, however,
in maintaining that is always safe te
assume that Select Councilman Rebert
A. Evans' position upon questions which
arise in councils is "exactly what the
taxpayers have a right te expect.'
Fer in this instance Mr. Evans was one
of the most strenuous advocates of the
acceptance of the electric light in the
slip shed manner which the Ytie .'i"
se severely, but Justly, condemns.

such a place should be maintained by
