the GROWTH OF ONE IMPORTANT INDUSTRY.

During the tendency and after the
passage of the Mckinley tariff law it was
INCREASINGLY attacked by the organs of
British free trade, the chief assault being
directed against the duty placed on tin.
| has asserted times without number the
lmpossibiiity of establishing tin plate
plants in the United States and bewailed
the folly of so doing even il it we're pos
slble. The free trade organs ridiculed the
attempts to compete with Wales in the
manufacture of tin plate and challenged
the friends of the law to show single tin
plate plant in operation in the United
States. Finally the attacks of the free
bFade.s'.@3;a grew less frequent ana be-
came gradually milder in tone. At last
they oeased. Why? The following plain
tale of the growth of tin plate production
in the United States will explain without
the need of a diagram:
Prior to the passage of the Mckinley
law not per cent of the tin plate used in
the United States was of home manufac-
ture. Now so per cent of the total amount
of Tin plate used in the United States is
Of home manufacture. For instance, in
the fiscal year of 1892, soon after the
Mckinley law had gone into effect, the tin
plate production of this country was
about 100000 pounds. In 1898 it rose
to 100,000,000 pounds. In 1894 it rose to
l39,000,000 pounds. In 1895 it rose to
l94,0Oo,000. In 1896, out Of 100000
pounds of tin plate consumed by the
people of the United States 307,0OO,O00
pounds came from American producers.
While the production of tin plate has
increased by such immense strides, due
to the protection Of the American manu-
facturer, the price to consumers has been
reduced to fraction of the price formerly
exacted of the American people by the
Welsh trust. Facts beat theories, and
these are the facts about the manufacture
of tin plate in the United States. Other
Industries can be and ought to be built
up in the United States iu the same way,
by extending to them the support Of
proper AMI adequate protection.
