THE TIN TARIFF.

Replying to the question, "Will the
tariff on tin, which the people of the
Black Hills are relying upon for the
developing and establishment of the
tin industry in the this country, be like
ly to be changed by the next congress ?"
Senator Pettigrew says:
No. 1t would never pass the senate.
If it should the English companies
would put down the prices so low that
there could be no competing in this coun-
try and after they had succeeded in ef-
fectually killing off any enterprises of
the kind in this country, they could con-
troll the markets and make the prices
what they choose England has a COM
plete monopoly of tin and as there is
vast capital at stake, there is no ques-
ton as to what would be her attitude
toward us, as there is none as to
her ability TO control this market. There
is safe working majority in the senate
and as all signs are that the worst is oyer,
ii is not probable that the friends OF this
measure will lose control in the near
future. At any rate, companies with
large capital are already setting to work
TO develope it and / am entirely satisfi.
ed that the Black Hills will see the larg-
est tin mining camps In the world be-
fore many years pass. The work will
be pushed as fast as possible and a
numer of million dollars have already
been invested as starter.-Pierre Capt.
