sousd Reasons AEatast Frss Coinage.
From senator Morrill's speech Ia the
United States Senate, January d:
In conclusion Mr.. Morrill, raid: ~
have attempted TO demo nstrate:
II. That the depreciation OF silver lie
both &c great and universal that uniim-
tied coinage could be maintained on
the present standard with gold, but
would suddenly wreck the country by 4
silver revolution.
..2. That unlimited coinage would in
terdict oil ternational silver com.
pacts.
30 That there is no scarcity Of money
in circulation, but instead the amount IL
twice as great ~ it was in 1873, and il
increasing on . canter.
~. That o silver standard would be
equivalent to Q horizontal reduction of
tariff Of % per cent, II not more, and
an equal reduction Of all pensions.
10. That the enormous production OF
| silver, to the extent Of four times the
product Of 1854, coincident with ARreat-
ly lessened demand for il, has so depre-
| ciated it's value that unlimited coinage
by the United States must prove y dis.
astrous national blunder.
"6. That there is no magic in any law
of Congress, which ran make the world
accept IN OF silver ~ worth any
more in coin than in bullion.
81. That the parties to FIRST profit by
free coinage would be the corporate
parties to finally suffer the largest losses
by it would be the great mass of our
people, into whose hands the depreci-
ated coin and treasury notes would
finally PASS"
Moaning Of Tin snd Tsrss.
II is not surprising that there should
be widespread ignorance in regard to
| the different kinds of tin-plate, and 10
usual the tariff :inkers have taken ad-
vantage Of it to create IN impression
that terne plate is not tin plate, and
that imported black plates, covered in
America with imported tin, are not
American tin-plates.
1t is in order, therefore, to state facts.
even at the risk of repeating. The n.
Il Il. Taylor Company, of Philadelphia,
who are manufacturers of tin-platss,
make this plain statement:
Tin-plate is simply sheets of iron or steel
coated with pure tin or . mixture OF tin
and lead. That coated with pure TIN y
called in the trade bright tin; that coated
with tin and lead is called roofing tin or
terne. The word terne is French, and
means dull. Previous tn 1880 sheets of
bright tin were put together and passed
through o bath of lead, thereby giving
them q much heavier coating than could
be put on the bright tin. Later on the
Welsh makers began mixing lead in their
tin pot, and gradually increased the pro-
portion Of lead from time to time, until ct
the present time the coating on Tome plates
Is almost all lead. Plates cannot DO coat.
Ell with all lead because it will not adhere to
the iron. except by an electrical process

therefore be used.
They add that the best roofing tin ID
that which is dullest in appearance. A
cheap grade, which il very bright and
attractive, may have but p pounds of
coating ON 400 square feet, while . good
quality has rs pounds and 10 dull. But
q dull appearance is no objection, - any
tin roof should be painted.
In the beginning of the new industry
in this country, ii has been necessary to
import some thin iron and steel plates,
but they are now being produced here.
We also have to import most Of our
block tin, but 10 does England. 1t 10 on
the free list until we can produce 1t, and
If Our mines develop well, it will then
be protected. 1t is now free because
We are obliged to import it.-Tin and
T.rne.
Notes.
The York Pa Dispatch says that a.
ready 81, coo 200 of capital has been in
vested in American tin-plate mills, and
the output will soon he 5000 boxes pei
week OF purely American manufacture
From Sheffield, the center Of English
cutlery manufacture, comes the news
that the trade of 1891, under the Nc.
kinlev law, was not one-half the trade
Of 1890. This means that in about the
same proportion Americans used more
American made cutlery in 1891 than in
the former year. Yet nobody hal
heard of any advance in the price Of
cutlery. The home supply has been
expanded to fill the demand, furnish.
ing more employment for American
workingmen, but not adding to the coat
or Am erican consumers.
