TIN Plate MANUFACTURE.

If we could build up in this country new
city, with population of 100000 or more,
supported by 10000 fairly-paid laborers,
besides all the shopkeepers and artisans which
such a city would require, is there any
body of any political faith who would think 1t
an undesirable thing to do Z Yet this is just
what might have been done by more
intelligent ruling of the Treasury Department
some years ago, and just what may yet be
done by a change of three words in the
tariff on tin plates and terne TIN. 1t was
natural and yet great mistake which fixed
the duty on these articles as il they had been
mainly of tin, and therefore not to be produced
successfully in this country. But the fact is
that tin plates are composed at least of 90
per cent OF sheet iron or steel. the remaining
per cent or less consisting OF thin coating of
tin, and terne plates are composed of about 90
TO 9S per per cent of sheet iron steel. the
remaining to 8 per cent being a coating of
tin and lead
In 1864, the tariff provided that tin plates
and iron coated with other metals should pay
a duty OF pig cents per pound, being really
nuactures of iron, and properly subject to
duty rs sheet iron. But Secretary Fessenden,
apparently supposing tiIat these articles were
composed mainly of tin, which is not produced
i'll this country, decided that the so-caled tin
plates should be cassed as tin rolled into sheets,
and should bear duty of only 10 per cent.
In consequence Great Britain has been
enabled to build up an enormously profitable
manufacture and trade. We took from Great
Britain last yem over 100000 tons of tin and
terne plates, for which over $20,000,000 in
gold was paid, and this country takes over

wo-thirds OF the entire British product III
this particular product Of iron were subject to
the same duties as other similar products,
the manufacture would be developed here, as
that of iron has BEEN and we should be paying
$40, 100000 or more to American producers
for the supplies which we now get from
British works.
1t is estimated that the production here OF
the tin and terne plates now imported would
require $4,000 tons of iron ore, 5000 tons
of limestone, 100000 tons of coal, 100000
tons of pig iron, 100000 pounds of lead,
25,O00,O00 pounds of tin, 100000 pounds
of talow, and labor costing at least
$12,000,000 yearly, beside the necessares OF
life for the multitude of people who would be
supported by this industry. Yet there is
needed, to this end, only change of few
words in the tariff, making the duty on tin
and terne plates substantially the same as that
on other similar forms of manufactured iron
or steel. At the outset, no doubt, there would
be some increase in the cost of tin plates for
household utensils and canning, and Of terne
plates for roofing purposes. But as soon as
American makers could get well established,
the cost would be reduced by home COM
DeCltlOn just AZ the cOSJ OF sLeel rails uaS Dccn
reduced, and in a short time we should be able
to purchase at lower cost than we now pay
amuch better article. In the end, the duty would
benefit American consumers The incidental
benefits to American industry, in the larger
demand for ore coal, pig iron and other ma
terias, and for all necessary supplies for
great army of workers, would be almost meal
culable
This is one of the cases in which the present
tariff needs amendment, in order to make it
equal and just to all interests. 1t is not ques-
ton of principle. If we are to have protective
duties at all, those duties should be fairly adj
justed so that iron plates coated with tin
should not be admitted at much lower rate
of duty than the same iron plates not so
coated. The development of a great and
profitable industry here is surely well worth
securing at the cost of small temporary adj
dition to the price of the products used,
especially as there is every reason to expect
that the cost may soon be permanently reduced
by home competition.
