INDUSTRY IN DANGER

AS the rise OF the American tnplate
industry was coincident with the de-
cline of the Welsh trade from pros
perity to adversely. 80 will the revival
of production In Wales cause disturb
ance In turn to American tinplate
makers Such. at least is foreign
opinion based on the announcement
that as a result Of the cut In the
American tariff Welsh firms have re-
ceived orders for 10000 tons for de-
livery to American oil and canning
concerns in the near future. This
tariff development takes us back to
the adoption of the Mckinley tarin.
when the author of that historic up
ward step in the policy of protection
of American industries triumphed over
a determined spirit Of opposition born
of doubt and misgiving and inserted

at first that capital was coy about
making a venture. Progress continued
slow until the Dingley tariff promised
gainful results and permanency, while
the expansion OF the oil and canning
Industries created demand for tre
mendously increased mill capacity.
The menace of renewed Welsh COM
petition serves to recall the animated
discussion of the steel schedule in the
house, disclosing a firm conviction In
the minds of the best informed men
on the majority side that the cut in
the duty on steel and ore could not
possibly affect prices except along the
Atlantic shore, which conviction still
persists, although the steel industry
west as well as east of the Alleghenies
has been the chief sufferer.

ly than the orders for 10000 tons or

had refused to stop game OF cards.
The men were taken before a justice

nothing has been heard Of them since

authorities that they have the correct

bonds is that the bonds were very
small. and the men evidently thought
they could afford to lose the money.
