gabhle, which he must know Is not
true about tin-plate not being manu-
featured in this country while right at
our doors almost, only twenty-elght
miles away in Philadelphia, the firm
OF N. 4 G. Taylor are turning out pure,
bright American tin made from Ameri- |
can tin-plate from American ore,
American pig-tin, American mills, |
American machinery and by American
workmen? There is nothing about it
that is not distinctly American, thus
giving the lie direct to the Democratic
campaign stumpers that An could not
be made In this country and that the
specimens shown In the Ohio cam
paign were only manufactured for
political purposes. The Democratic
party might as well come down from
Its high horse on this question as
gracefully as possible.
We know it must be little hard for
II to do 80 after having lied and de-
eeived the people the way 1t did, but it
has to be done, and it might as well
scramble down before the fall cleo
lions and beg pardon from those it has
deceived, as to come sneaking down
after the election and denv that it was
over on the perch amongst the "tin
plate liars"
That sterling Republican paper, the
Philadelphia Inquirer, has knocked the
breath out Of the Democratic 'tin plate
liars" by publishing tour column ar
ticle in last Mondays issue, OF the re-
suits OF visit to the tin plate manu-
factory of n. & G. Taylor, of that city.
showing the exact formula OF manu-
featuring tin. 1t is a pity that a copy
of Mondays Philadelphia Inquirer
cannot be placed in the hands of every
Democrat in the country, that they
could read and know for themselves
how their party has been deliberately
lying upon this subject.
1t would he little amusing even Mt
this early date to turn back to the files
and read the interview of our neigh
Dor, the Every Evening with Isaac S.
Bullock, the Shipley street tin roofer,
after tie REPUBLICAN announced that
he had received a consignment OF
American made tin, from the Delmar
Company, Pa, for roofing purposes.
This was only some two months ago,
but even then MIR. Bullock had to he

friend Bullock, not having theDelmar
Company's bill OF shipment at hand. did
not know, and SO the representative
0. the Every Evening enjoyed his little
laugh.
Our nelghbor has come down consld

that tin plate cannot be manufacturer

tin in this country. but it still holds t,
