Making Tin Plate.

The Philadelphia Enquirer in a re-
cent issue devoted several columns,
with illustrations, to the manufacture
OF tin plate in that city, specimens OF
which are on exhibition in the En-
quirer Office. All the ingredients that
enter into the manufacture are pro-
duced in America, and the tin is made
by American citizens. G.. w. B. Tay-
lor, a member OF the company, in al
interview, among other things said:
"The beneficial results OF American
tin mining and American tin-plate
manufacturing will soon be felt by the
great mass of tho people. AS the new
industry increases in strength there
will be a large falling off in the price of
roofing tin, domestic utensils, in fact,
everything made of tin and every arti-
Gle in which tin figures as a factor in
the making. There will be no immed-
late decline in the prices OF pig tin. be-
cause its price is o dictated in Lon
don and Amsterdam, by the English
and Dutch, from whose mines, until
our W aredeveloped, any great guam
tity for use in this country must come.
H pIoIleo oh pig III a ChoILIiOuS,
and the owners OF foreign mines have
amassed princely fortunes from their
output. On the other hand, while the
public have as yet reaped no great ben
eft from a decline in the price OF raw
tin, they have not been compelled to
pay a higher price for the manufact-
ured article, at least, so far as our own
house ~isconcerned. We advertise that
one of our best known brands, the
''Old Style" is made in Philadelphia,
and that IN prices remain the same.
ga great deal has been said by Dem
ocratic papers about it being neces-
sary to import labor for the purpose
OF manufacturing American tin-plate.
That is all bosh. We have not inn
ported a single laborer. 1t is not nee
essary- The process is very simple.
1t is easily learned, and l promise you
that when we get fully under way with
our plant our labor will be purely
American. On our experimental stack
we employ seven men. One OF our
| principal hands is a Philadelphia,
| one is an Irishman, who has been in
| our employ for nineteen years, and
the only man on the stack not a citi-
| izen will become n in a month, he
having arrived in this country in 1887.
| When we build our big plant the pref
erence will be given to AmericanIlabor,
| the preference will be given to Ameri-
| can tin, and the steel and iron that
we use will be American"
