 TIN PLATE.-If We made no tin plate in this country We would have to import it from Wales, as we did before the Mckinley tariff
 British trade papers quote Welsh fin plate, f. O. b. dock at Swansea. at 14 shillings pence to 14 shilIings 6 pence Tor the usual grade, 1OS-pound Besse- mer coke tin plate. The same grade of American plate, but of better aua,itv. sells at $4.15 f. O. b. mill. The Rritfsb prlce IS subject to discounts of and Ter cent Tor cash, per cent must be ""ueu TOT brokerage and inspection. ana an allowance of at least F cents a DoA must be made for ocean freight ana insurance. Taking the lower price quoted, IA shillings 3 pence. counting mn these items, and adding. not the rrae ehl protective duty. but the old revenue cuty Of l cent a pound which was in force for years before the Mckinley tarIif, would make the foreign tin plate cost eXactly $4.62 on dock in New York The American plate costs $415 less 1 per cent for cash, or S4.1l st mill. Here Is a saving of 51 cents a box. and as ve make about 10000 900 boxes a year tba total saving is S5.OOO,OOO a year.
 This is figured out on the old ire trade tariff. But if that tariff had been continued we would have no American industry, and the Welsh tin plate mak- CTS. having market for O,OO0, 900 boxes Of tin plate more a year and everything in their own hands. would be asking much higher prices. Many of the Welsh tin plate mills are idle, their owners saying there is a loss in running at present prices. Then again the above comparison is made with foreign tin plate at New York and American tin plate at the mill. The consuming points are in general nearer to the mills than they are to New York
