ABOUT TIN PLATE.
you are making tin plate at this
great plant. AZ the Laughlln, where we
Just addressed n large gathering, they
are also making tin plate and are now
doubling their capacity. You remem-
Der, my friends. that not more than I'VE
or six years ago the Democratic pollti-
clans told us something like this: You
can't make tin plate in this country
YOU haven't the material or the skill
that is required As though the Amerl-
can worklngman hasn't the skill to
make anything the workmen OF any
other country on this earth can put to-
getherl
''This one single industry that was
brought to life In these United States
by the passage OF the tariff law that
bears the name OF President Mckinley
gives employment to thousands OF men
(applause). Not only that but we are
saving annually the S25, 100000 to 1000, :
900 that was formerly spent abroad IN
payment for the tin plate consumed
here. Thus IL illustrated one of the
great propositions made by the Repub'
proceeding, Captain Danford spoke OF
the birth OF the steel rail industry IN
America, directly attributable TO the
enactment OF protective legislation by
the Republican party.

men who arc employed In the great In
dustries along this river front In Bel
mon. county are In line with the form
ers back In the hills-ln line for Repub-
lean success, which means your sue
