It Dd Not Close Up. When a protected industry threatens | to close up business at the old stand and go to the land where the woodbine twineth if you cut Jown its protective duties, it is generally safe to assume that such an industry is playing a big game of bluff, that somebody is lying. Here is a case: When it was proposed last year to make a slight reduction in the binder twine duty, the twine men signed a pa- per and sent it in hot haste to Washing- ton, saying that if the proposed duty should be adopted they would be com- pelled to shut down their mills. Their alarm was still greater when fifteen northwestern Republican senators united with the Democrats and voted to put twine on the free list. After a great amount of lobbying by the trust and certain Republican poli- ticians, backed up by leading high tariff journals with profuse and picturesque abuse of men who had voted for free twine, a of the duty was saved The old duty on manilla twine was 2} cents a pound, and on sisal twine 3} cents. The trust succeeded in saving | 7-10 of 1 cent from the wicked Demo- crata and northwestern Republican sen. ators. This duty was less than one third of the duty which the trust had sald would close up its works. Now, what is the result? shutting up ite mills?
