STATIONS any time with our neighbor
and a sample of its new art of cal
culating is found in an editorial which
appeared yesterday:
THE whole amount of tin-plate used in
the United States since the law was
created has not exceeded one-fifth of a
billion OF dollars, and a very large pro-
portion of that has been paid to American
workmen.'
Now the duty on tin-plate was made
specific and fixed at IL cents per
pound by the special tariff act of Feb
S, 1875; the Mckinley bill raised it TO
20 cents and under the Dingley bill
it was fixed at Is cents per pound
The Tribune says: I'VE formerly
paid s9i,ooe,oeo or $22OOO,0 900 annually
for tin-plate."
If we formerly paid that much We
have probably paid it ever since the
law was created which made the tax
specific. This would indicate that we
have used at least S55O.0O0.OOO worth
of tin-plate since the tariff law of
Feb. s, 1875 was enacted-a healthy
looking quarter of a million indeed.
But our Republican contemporary
says that very large proportion of
the money thus extorted from the peo-
pie by the tin-plate trust has been
paid to American workmen" If this
be true why does our neighbor say:
THE first duty of congress upon its
meeting should be to strike the tariff
from tin-plate?"
