We willpay this year probably ten millions. certainly five millions. as a mere gratuity. 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. But some of the largest industries in theUnited 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 tribute for the benefit of a syndicate which would employ doubtless a few thousand immigrants. Thus old 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 rlietorc can conceal from the farmer the utter want of bait on that tin hook ?
