THE CLAIMS OF THE M'KINLEY BILL
ERS RUDELY PUNCTURED.
American Tin t Nothing More Than
Dipped Iron The Tanning Inilunlry
Serlomly Injured The Industry "Ko-
tered" fur the IlrncHt of MonopolUt.
We have a rather impressive plate of
sheet tin lcforo us as wo write. It is of
oblong shape, of easily lmndled size, and
handsomely coated. We are asked to
believe that this is American tin. The
iron thut forms its base is probably
American. Whore the tin which mokes
its coating came from it is perhaps not
so easy to say, but wo are disposed
strongly to hold that it was not mined
in this country. That there is any
proof in it that the tin manufacture on
any scale of importance has been estab
lished in this country; that we owe to
the McKinley bill aid in the manufacture
of tin to any considerable extent hero,
or that, if we are to have it, it will bo at
a less sacrifice than pAying a good deal
more money for our tin than if legisla
tion had let this matter alone, we do not
believe.
As near as wo can get to the true in
wardness of this tin plate matter, the
case seems to be about this: A remuner
ative and healthy business was being
carried on in the manufacture of tin
plate for the American markets. The
great bulk of it was consumed in the
making of tin cans for the preservation
of fruit nnd the packing of other ma
terial that can bo conveniently handled
and kept in this way. Nobody suffered
from it; many were benefited. There
was little inducement to change the
conditions on which it was conducted
little desire to do so. It is a victim to
the cupidity of certain men who did de
sire to call in the government to help
them in their business in another
production. Certain Pennsylvauiaus
thought thero was a way to establish u
sheet iron manufacture, Thev would
have been willing to lot this tin produc
tion alone, so far ns it applies to canning,
but it was in the way of their sheet irou
business. They used tinned sheet iron
plates for roofing purposes, and wanted
to get a monopoly of that business.
e are told that we ore mannfactur-
ing tin plate. So we are, such tin pint
as that we have made the occasion of
this article. It is composed of iron
dipped in tin. It can bo manufactured
almost anywhere. The chief thine nec
essary is to procure a sheet of iron and
dip it in a solution of tin, and the tin
plate is made. But those who make it.
ond those who vaunt themselves upon
having introduced a new article into
American production, are very careful
not to state that it is not a new article
of American production: it has been
produced here for a period of about
fourteen years.
This is roof tin. Probably considera
ble mischief would have been done by
tho effort to set up one or two million
aires in Pennsylvania through the aid of
government legislation in this business
of making plate for roof tin, but not a
tithe as much as if those desiring to en
gage in it could have been induced to let
canning tin alone. To afford an excuse
for this monopoly there was a great
parade about introducing the tin manu
facture generally in America. The great
bnlk of the tin manufacture here is the
tin canning branch of it. This tin, such
as we have been considering in this arti
cle, does not apply thero at all. The
plates that form its basis are steel, not
iron. They are rolled to a thinness very
much less than this show tin which is
used for political purposes. They have
not been made to any extent in this
country. Of the nineteen firms in this
tin dipping business, which the McKin
ley bill claims to be its trophy, but
which existed independent of it before it
was passed, but four make these plates
at all; the bulk are made of iron, while
but few make the steel plates that are
necessary to the tin canning manufac
ture. It is possible to force the country into
its production with sufficiently high du
ties; almost anything might be achieved
in this way; but the effort toward it now
is a grievous wrong to the tin canning
industry and an inexcusable burden to
the greatfbnlk of the American people.
