gang. j. J. Barrira, a Mexican ranchmsn

THEy SHOULD usg sIlvgR


James Reese is dissatisfied With the
conclusions the EVENING JOURNAL drew
from the statements ne made in an inter.
view concerning the iniquitous tax that
has been placed on tin plate, amounting,
as we asserted, to about 100 per cent.
Mr. Reese is dissatisfied, too because we
did not print his theory that tex
should be put ON tin plate to make tin
cheaper We preferred to give his facts
because his theory is worse than worth
less.
How can Mr.. Reese tell, how can any
body tell, whether after this country
shall have paid tax Of $4,000, 900 per
annum for siA years and every farmer
who puts on tin roof shall have paid
forty bushels Of wheat instead Of twenty
bushels for IL. that we shall have the tin
industryY We paid 1880, 900 last year
and did not have the industry
That we shall have It next year is
hypothesis only. II is not original with
Mr. Reese ana was not invented by him II
is the special and specious plea used by
the tin plate lobby to induce Congress to
put an additional burden OF $780, 600
per annum on the people to build ap an
industry that we have been getting on
pretty well without. We prefer to allow
the people to keep their $4,000. 600
Just at this time and let the tin plate
syndicate wait little.
We treated Mr.. Reese with perfect
fairness in printing the facts he gave us
aud emitting the vulgar plea Of the tin
plate syndicate The reporter read the
interview to him FOUR times ia order to
insure accuracy. TO show that our de.
auctions from his statements were fairly
and correctly drawn, we give the follow
ing figures. Mr. Reese stated 10 his
interview on Saturday, that, with the
market in its normal condition. the price
OF Melyn tin plate is about 50 81 for a
box of 225 pounds. This is the price
with the present duty Of one cent a
pound on the tin If there were no duty
on this tin, under the same condi-
tions the box Of tin would bs worth only
S722. Now, according TO Mr.. Reese:
statement, there are $50 square feet Of til
in the box, which makes the tin ia that
box worth, without any duty, 1901
cents square foot. and a roof contain
ing 1000 square feet would cost, for tbs
tin alone, $40 81
4 In tin roof containing 1000 squRr
0 feet there are 643 pounds Of this same tn
y plate. The .arif proposed is , 2-10 cent
d per pound, which on this l., 900 squar
S feet or SAB pounds is sl4l5. This adde
g to the actual price Of the tin brings d
5 the net cost OF the tin il the roof t
II $50 O6 f. O. b.
