Oh, That Tin Plate Liar.
In spite of the tin plate liar. "the
manufacture OF tin plate hut recently
commenced is steady going on and
Ia us steadily increasing. II the In
dustry increases In the same ratio. In
a year more tin will be manufactured
in this country, cheaper than we have
been paying for English and WEIGH
made tin. In spite of all the ''tln-plate
liar" asserts, we are manufacturing
American tin from American materials
by tho application OF American labor
employed by American capital. All
the iron. all the steel. all the tin, all
the lead used in the process are deriv-
cd from American mines. The Ameri-
can article is more fully and complete.
ly American than the British article is
British. because the latter contains
some elements from foreign sources
OF supply. The Daily Call, OF Piqua,
Ohio takes considerable space In de-
scribIng the operations OF the Gin
cinnati Corrugating company, whose
mills are at Piqua, In their operations
in making tin-plate, That journal
says that the company In order TO sat
isfy themselves of the adaptability OF
the steel sheets supplied to them by
their allied company, have recently
made quantity of fourteen by TWEEN
ty terne roofing plates with great sue
cess This experience demonstrates
fully TINT the quality OF the steel
plates used for coating meets the
highest requirements.
They farther say that that the terne
coating composed of tin and lead, re-
suited beautifully. equalling in this
opinion OF experts, In appearance and
many other respects, the 'old style"
handmade ternes hitherto ilnported
from Wales.
The success of the company in the
manufacture of tin plate has added SO
much to the enthusiasm of the Repub-
lican campaign to elect Major Mckin-
ley Governor of Ohio, that the Repub-
lican Executive Committee ordered
5000 souvenirs made Of Piqua ternt
plate mounted on ribbon badges fol
distribution. The souvenirs are circu
lar in form and have thereon the
words, "ohio Sheet Steel, California
Tin, Missouri Lead, Piqua Is9l-Mc
kinley and Protection"
In the composition Of these badges
not an ounce Of foreign material ell
ters-California furnished the pig lead
and the Bessemcr steel used was made
at Middleport, Ohio, and rolled by the
Piqua Rolling Company.
These are the same badges that the
"tin plate liar' has been declaring
came already manufactured from
Wales. The lie was such large one
that it killed itself so dead that the
Republicans never thought worth
; while spending breath in denying it
But we have important testimony
nearer home OF the success of manu-
featuring tin plate, Upon the REpuB
