Show DODGING THE POINT the provo dispatch a democratic party organ which TUB THE STANDARD had occasion to call down a few days ago f toi 0 r its tergiversation in to the ti tin 11 plate industry la ir apparently i not mot satisfied with being proven a falsifier and ir in its ito issue of the instant it devotes a i column of its valuable space to an alleged refutation of THE STANDARDS truthful stat statements emente now whether we are a republican and an ignoramus or 01 w whether bother the writer for the Dispatch Dif patch Is iss a D democrat erno crat and a wise man will ill not stop sto the building of tinplate tin plate works in the united states the question Is can the tinplate tin plate industry ba be built up tip inthis in abie country to 0 o that it will finally be able tc to compete with the foreigners without the protection afforded by the duty which the mckinley bill levies upon the imported article we claim that it could not be BO so built up and made mode even fairly profitable without such protection and for proof of this we refer to the attempts previously made to establish the tinplate industry in this country when the doty duty was as only I 1 cent per pound irmay it may baand be and probably is true as the dispatch Din bays says that the american tinned plate association in 1889 authorized the statement that tin plates could be made sold with profit at present selling prices the prie prices es at which buch roods were selling in 1889 the reason why capital capitalists lets could not corill continue nue the he manufacture of tinned plates was because the present prices could not be maintained that was the real reason why they had bad to close their works tois this the dispatch admits and it is true the few establishments that were started were knocked out before they bad had got fairly oa on their feet the country was floden with foreign tinplate and the price went down so low as to wipe out ont the narrow margin of pr profit 0 fit which the selling at present prices ea afforded the whole trend of democratic effort antho in the tinplate tin plate matter has been in la the direction of preventing the planting and rooting of that immense industry in this coun country try tha the democratic party has hall never voted for any measure whose ultimate effect would be to enable our own people to place them iel delves vas in a position to compete with foreign manufacturers of tinplate tin plate when confronted with the plain fact that there was only one way by which the industry could ba be planted firmly on its feet democrats democrat said by their votes that they prefer to let th the 8 profits of the business continue to flow into the coffers of the foreign manufacturers this is the only logical explanation of their violent opposition to the mckinley bill there were more DACO cratic tinplate tin plate liars in those drys tion afcan there are now and that was what we eaid said and which caused the ire of the dispatch to rise we see no reason reasin for mo lifting our statement that a heavier duty was laid upon tinplate tin plate for the purpose of building up the industry in this country on atry and we have never yet seen in any damo cratic newspaper a suggestion of how it aoud con d be established here without being prot protected acted in its infancy republicans have no fault to find with the welshmen Welsh men for protecting their own interests they took the course that waa was open to them to prevent successful competition in their business they could reduce their profits and decrease their prices or even run ran for a long time at a loss loea if it neco ne ceBAry omy to save for th themselves a M and to their country an industry which bad enabled them to ams amass gas such a ch immense wealth the advantages were all on their side they used them jost as the Ds dispatch patCh says they reduced their prices temporarily but long enough to to prove to the manufacturers in this country that they could not run ran their works without ruin rain to theme themselves elves and like sensible men they went out of busl busl do beso the dispatch quotes from the iron age that at the present rate of progress it is beyond the power of man to calculate when this country will bo be able to supply its own tinned plate requirements well what it if that bo be true 7 the time is approach approaching inz when we will be able to supply the home demand much has been and is being done to bring about that desirable result millions have already been embarked in the tinplate tin fin plate business and many times the amount will bo be invested in tinplate tin plate works after the next presidential election renders it certain that the democrats will not have the power to break down the industry for four years longer by which tam urns a it will be eo so firmly established that not even the welsh manufacturers can reduce their prices low enough lo 10 combee with our homo home producers cers without ruin to themselves that was the object of the mckinley tariff it is the republican publican Ile doctrine of protection pure and simple thearon the aron age according to the dispatch diopa says that the progress thus far mado made in the domestic manufacture of tinned plate has been disappointing let ua us see about this the new tariff has been in effect affect for but little over a year at the recent meeting of the western packers canned goods association the first years operation of the mckinley McKin lcy tariff on tin plate was thus summarized there are now la in
