The challenge from the Johnson Bros

much like a wall, inasmuch as the john

Faultless Five-plus couple of ring

CARDIFF, WALES, Oct. 1.-THE
tin plate industry is greatly interested
as to whether it can secure some of
the domestic tin plate business under
the new tariff which was prohibited
under the old.
American manufacturers declare
the duty Of per cent absolutely nee
essary to maintain the American tin
plate industry, as the cost of produc-
ton Of %, 900 tons in America is ST.
100000, compared with $583.333 in
Wales. The cost of labor per ton is
S22.95 in America, compared to S12.73
in Wales.
The cost Of freight is also a factor
of considerable Importance to the
Welsh trade, as it is presumed the
freightage may favor Welsh manu-
facturers, whose works are on sea-
board with ample shipping advan-
tages, whereas the American tin plate
works are inland with heavy railroad
rates to reach the consuming centers.
Then the opening of the Panama Ca
nal will considerably help the Welsh
producer
Apart from the tin plates, the Welsh
steel productions, including galvaniz-
ed sheets, now have advantages that
were hiteherto nom existent to enter
the American market. The new tariff
is expected to prove an incentive to
welsh manufacturers, who produce
such goods that price and quality
insure them a place in the American
domestic market.

Il should not be surprised II the
first concerted effort to take advan-

to be that the bill on its face offers
