England, last year, sold us 742, ,136, $40 pounds of tin-plate, and it cost us $21, ,726,- TOY. In the last twenty five years we have sent over $32O, ,O37, ,362 for tin-plate, every penny of which might, as we'll as not, have been kept here in the employment of our own people.
 We can make our own tin-plate just as well as England, if the price can be kept where it is to-day. The English plate is made in Wales, where cheap female labor. costing from thirty to sixty-five cents a day, is employed. On the basis of their net cost, the English are charging us 300 per cent. profit on this plate. A common tin cup, for instance, that retails all over the United States for five cents, costs the Welsh manufacturer only about one and one-third cents. The dinner pail in which the American laborer carries his roll and his coffee, and for which he pays twenty five cents, costs the greedy Briton less than twelve.
 Despite the disparity between the thirty. cent female labor of Wales and the ex. pensive labor of this country, our people can easily make those same articles and sell them at those prices, and earn good living; but the mischief of it is, that every time they try the Briton lowers his prices, as he can well afford to do, and drives oul people out of the business. Tin-plate works have been established in America again and again, but every time the for eigner has seen the market slipping away from him he has cut prices, and has kept them down until his American rivals were forced to suspend. Thereupon, however, and instantly, he puts up his rates again. The net result of this is, that although AnnorsN0n high prices for tinware, their money all British capital and to pay British taxes.
 It is now proposed to reverse this busi ness. Millions of capital are at this mo ment-the new tariff bill having passed engaging in the development of the Black Hills tin mines and in the construction ot tin-plate factories.
 The duty has been raised from merely revenue duty of one cent pound, which the American consumer has been paying to protective duty of two cents pound which the British producer will have tc pay if he wants to sell his tin-plate here He will no longer: be able to chase oul people out of the tin business and, with out adding scintilla to the price of tin ware, we will hereafter supply our owr work.
 This new industry will mean to Ameri can labor an additional consumption o 1,000, 900 tons of iron ore, 300, ,OOU tons o lime stone, 2, ,0O0, ,0OO tons of coal and coke 400, ,000 tons of pig iron, $500, GOO pound of lead. 13,000, 900 pounds of tallow ant oil, 10000, 600 pounds of sulphuric acid 12,000, 900 feet of lumber. and will giv, direct employment to 35, ,O0O work people to whom will be paid in wages $23, 900, GOO.
