DutY Oh Tin plates.

The canned goods Association of New
Jersey has sent a protest to the Senators
and members of Congress from this State
against the proposition of the Ways and
Means Committee to increase the duty on
tin plate The association at recent
meeting appointed committee to draw upa
protest and endeayoF to dissuade the COM
mittee from its purpose. The committee
in deciding to increase the duty on tin
plate is obiging an iron firm in Pittsburg
which has small blast which has been
idle for several years, and which it desires
to again start up. The protest by the New
Jersey Association is as follows.
At present the canned goods industry of
New Jersey.as well as that ofonr sister states,
is in a demoralized condition. Some of our
largest and oldest factories are idle. and bid
fair to remain so, unless they dispose of last
years stock at the present prevailing low
prices The duty as it now exists, one and
one-tenth per cent. per pound on tin plates,
must he taxed TO the consumer or taken from
the farmer. The hitter class is already over
bnrdened. Failures in crops and prices have
discouraged the tenant farmer, and at this
time number of farms are unoccnpied that
should be titled to profit. 1t is estimated one
third of the importation of tin plates is mann
lictured into cans for preserving food pro-
ducts Of the United states. There are at pres
ent no tin plate manufactures in this country
and higher tariff would tend To benefit those
who wish to experiment in the manufacture
of tin plates, which experiment has been tried
and proven a failure. higher tariff would

fine showing as trotter, and Will certainly
rank well up with other members of his fam

of speed show remarkable purity of gait, to-

the great Red Wilkes, 1549. cannot be passed
by without some attention. TO look at him IL
would not be difficult to place him where he

TO Red Wilkes is primo Jacie evidence that he
will trot and trot fast enough to let him into
