Congressman Scott, OF Illinois, made
IA speech in the house Of representatives
on the free wool bill on March IL, in
which we find the following statement:
During the year ending June -, 1891, there
was imported over i,0lO0Oj pounds ~ tin plate,
This would have cost the consumers under tho
old law il1OODO0O. Under the Mckinley law Il
cost i21Oll,UOO being direct tax upon the con.
sumCrs of tin Of ti2,OOO, 900 over aud above what
they would have paid under the former law.
We print this as an example of the
many reckless assertions which are
made daily by the won d-bc 'rcformcrs"
Of the present congress. In 1891 we inn
ported l,O5J, sol pounds Of tin plate,
the value or import price Of which was
S3G,3jj, 1910: ON this duties were paid
10 the amount of SlO,5,1.ll5.Ol, making
the price of tin plate, duty paid, about
s41,OOO.00O. So MIR. Scott is just about
l,O)6, 600, 900 pounds out Of the way rs to
the quantity of tin plate imported and
S37,O00,O00 as to the price paid for 1t.
But the browning absurdity ofall is the
statement that because of the Mckinley
law we paid sic, 0OO, 900 more for this tin
plate than we would have paid under the
old law. Mr.. Scott. IL will have been OBJ
served, speaks of the year ending June
30, 1891; now, the tin plate clause of the
Mckinley bill only went into effect on
July I, 1891
Can it he that this is u tin plate lie?
