These other fellows can carry the elections. The distinguished Republican from Ohio . in discussing the increase of tariff on tinplate a few days ago. said: It was not claimed that what we shall pay upon tinplate is essential to any tin industry. for we have neither the tin nor the industry. Bat som of the largest industries in the United States. employing armies of people as producers in the field. garden. and orchard. and the still larger army of consumers. would be placed under needless and exacting I ribute for the benefit of a syndicate which would employ doubtless a few thousand emigrants. Thus ol and established industries are to submit to an extortion to enable a few thrifty gentlemen to make an experiment. Can it be possible that florid rhetoric can conceal from the farmer the utter want of bait on that tin hook?
