American Tin-Plate.

Few things seem more disturbing to
the average free trader than the ra-
pid progress already made toward
the establishment of an American
tin-plate industry. If these people
were merely Americans first and free
traders afterward it might be sup
posed that they would take certain
satisfaction in the opening up of a
new industry, even though it made
havoc with their theories, but with
them the free-trade theory seems
paramount over all other considera-
tions. The Boston Post, at this late
day, thinks it worth while to scott at
the United States Iron and Tin-plate
Company of Demmler, Pa, because of
what it pretends to be g. recent dis
coyery that the tin which it uses is
imported from England. But there
has been no concealment at any time
of the fact that the tin used for the
coating of this plate, which forms
about per cent. of the weight, is i'm

A Multiplier of Mutton.

More sheep and better sheep is the
stock report of the United States for
1890, though all other domestic ami
mails show decline in average value.
Probably our people are learning
that the way to make sheep profit
able is to herd them, as is done in
Scotland, Saxony and Spain.-Dene-
ocratic Organ.
They are also learning that a Nc
Kinley bill Congress was elected in
1888 and that it has increased the
protection of wool. 1t is working just
as it did when the Morrill, tariff in
creased the number ofsheep from %,
100000 sheep in 1861 to SO, 5000
sheep in 1884, and when, after the
tariff reduction of 1888 had reduced
the number of sheep to 42,60O,O0O
by 1888, tire Mckinley Congress ran
it up to 100000 in 1889. And
the sheep of 1890 are estimated at
46, 353, 900. That is the way pro
lection multiplies mutton.-Nea0 York

ported. For that matter a large por-
ton of the tin used by the English
and Welsh manufacturers is.also i'm
ported. But this tin-plate is vouched
for by the manufacturers as made
from "billets" which have been made
out of American ore by American
workmen, and which have been rolled
into sheets by American workmen
in American made machinery and
picked or cleaned in acid made in
American chemical works and have
afterwards been tinnedain watts which
were cast in American s%.foundries
by workmen of whom the majority
were born in the United States. AS
we suggested to The Herald the other
day this seems to make the product
sufficiently American. as 1t is as dis
tinctly American as most of the Welsh
product is Welsh.-Boston Journal.
