INDUSTRY IN DANGER
Tin Plate Mills Menaced by New
Tariff Measure.
Slash in Rates Already Has Caused a
Falling OF in Orders to Amer'-
can Factories-Wales Profits
at Our Expense.

As the rise Of the American unpiate
industry was eoincident with the de-
cline OF the Welsh trade from pros
perity TO adversely. so viii the revival
of production in Wales cause disturb
ance in turn to American tinpiate
makers. Such, at least, is foreign
opinion based on the announcements
that as a result of the cut IN the
American tariff Welsh firms have re-
ceiyed orders for 10000 tons for de-
livery to American oil and canning
concerns in the near future. ms
tariff development takes us back 10
.he adoption of the Mckinley tarih'
when the author of that historic up
ward step in the policy of protection
Of American industries triumphed over
a determined spirit of opposition Dorm
of doubt and misgiying and inserted a
paragraph that gave the foreign
monopoly the option of facing rum
Gus competition or removing their ma
chinery to the United States.
The starting of the first tin mill I'M
DEF the Mckinley tariff was made
quite a national event, with Mr.. NC
Kinley in attendance to press the but
ton, but so much uncertainty was feit
at first that capital was coy about
making venture. Progress continued
slow until the Dingley tariff promised
gainful results and permanency, while
the expansion of the oil and canning
Industries created a demand for ire
mendously increased mill capacity.
The menace of renewed Welsh conf
petition serves to recall the animated
discussion of the steel schedule in the
house, disclosing 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.
The sheer falling off of so per cent.
In the volume of orders, the long-con-
tinued decline in prices in strenuous
effort to get down to the foreign level.
and the inability to lower the cost of
production to that point and leave a
profit, testify to the effect of the
slashed schedules no less conspicuous
Iy than the orders for 10000 tons Of
Welsh tinplate. \
