contracted for at Si.S7 hundred.
But it would not be fair, even II the
price has gone up, to pass Judgment
upon that question now. because our
industry is not sufficiently established.
There is no reason why we should not
make tin: we have the iron; we have
the sheets, and tin is nothing but dip
ping these sheets into melted tin; that
Is all, and there Is no earthly reason
why we should not have made 1t all
these years, only because we had a
tariff for revenue only, and our people
