OUR TIM PLATE PRODUCT
A New York newspaper of a five
.trade stamp, has been endeavoring
recently to cas aspersions on the
tin plale industries of the country
and Philadelphia in particular,
which have been started everywhere
as a result of the additional duty
lixed y tlie McKinley bill on im
ported roofing tin. The sallies have
been directed mainlv against the N
&. G. Taylor Company of this city
which began to iiiauufacture tin
plate in a mill at I rout and Laurel
Streets some weeks ago.
It is claimed upon an aliened in
vestigatio.i thai the..i: il. Tavior
Co. did not have any tin plate work.-
nor could tin mm lurnisii anv
American ti'i plate. A further
sertion was made th.it the company
was making boasts of turning out
an good tin piate as could be pur
chased across the water, in order t(
bring trade for their imported mate
rial, and also correspondence which
they could not otherwise procure
The Press, yesterday, took oc
Casion to investigate these reports
A visit was made to the works, at
Front and Lau-el Streets- A gang
of workers were seen busily en
g'agrd m the manufacture of tin
plate and the thoughts of probable
illusion were speedily dispelled.
The factory is a long, low brick
building. Along the east side of
the big open room were piles of
black sheet iron. Adjacent to them
were oilier piles of shining tin plate
in boxes and ready for packing. At
the southern end of the building
was a huge brick furnace with six
fires. Above the furnace was a
large iron protector, placed there to
carry off the fumes of the palm oil.
Near hy was the machinery used
for stamping the sheets. Along the
west wall was the "pickling" para
phernalia. Two hours of investiga
tion produced a conviction beyond
all doubt that tin plate, as fine as
any of European make, was cer
tainly being manufactured. This
brand of tin that the company is
making is the Taylor ' Old Style"
brautl, and the impression stamped
on every sheet shows the brand,
thickness, trade-mark and name (R.
& G. Taylor Co., Phila.)
A fellow seized a black iron plate
from a pile nestling against an
iron support. These plates are
made from Siemens-Martin soft
steel. The preparation of these
black, glistenting sheets for tin
plate manufacture is interesting.
They are "pickled" and annealed;
then they are cold rolled, re-annealed
and made perfectly square.
This makes the sheets soft and plia
ble. Next they are packed in boxes
so that the edges may not be in
jured. The burly fellow with one of
these finely prepared iron sheets
dexterously handed it to the man
at the "pickling" vat. The vat is a
large wooden trough filled with
water diluted with a strong solu
tion of sulphuric acid. The sheet
is dipped into the vat several times
and then goes to the man at the
water vat. There it is deposited
several moments. The sheet next
goes to the "scorer" who skillfully
scrubs it with sand and passes it to
an auburn.bearded man who de
posits it into another vat of water
-od recleans it,
"beet iron is ready to
is tossed over
sway with the other 11 1 sheet m
box. The "sorter" upon being
asked whether the plate was good
as any made in Great Hritian or
other tin plate centers replied con
fidently: "It is certainly equal to
it at the least". The busy worker
then explained that a certain fine
imported tin plate was taken as a
pattern. lie held the pattern in one
hand and the newly manufactured
American tinplate in the other,
"Look at them both carefully",
concluded the sorter smiling, "and
I think you will admit that if there
is any difference in the quality of
the two. you will say as I do, that
the American is better. Philadel

The following from the Beatrice
Democrat is copied and fully en
dorsed by the Lincoln Herald:
It has been suggested that the
democrats join in voting the inde
pendent ticket throughout the state,
thereby driving the republicans out
of every court house in Nebraska.
The suggestion is meeting with
favor though tne zealous independ
ent cranks may throw the fat all in
the lire by their boasting bigotry.
W hatever action the democrats take
in this matter will be prompted be
cause of a conscientious desire to
rid the state of the republican part v,
which is the acknowledged enemy
of the country, the representative of
the money power and monopoly and
the foe of honest and economical
(Y-ni-iirtimont
- -"..
"Hie boasting bigotry of inde
pendent cranks" is certainly not a
termthe people's party.willbe proud
of, and in good faith and with the
best of intention we hasten to sug
gest to Hrother Marven and Col
Calhoun that in their attempt to
woo the new party, and lure it into
the democratic fold, they had better
use milder terms, and call them
prettier names or the 'peoples party
will resent the implied insult. We
should hate to be called a "boasting
bigot" ourselves, and we are not
over nice about such trifles either.
The independent is very touchey
on these subjects, a fact that we
fear the democratic brethern have
over looked. Call them the talented
scholarly gentlemen,who burning
with partriotic fervor, have mapped
out new lines of political action
which you heartily approve of.
Mention them as being honest and
courageous, shrewd and far seeing,

A CCOD REPORT.
Fk'om the Inter Ocean we clip the
following', which is certainly very
encouraging to our western farmer,
we ml- hope the prediction so care
fully made may prove absolutely
correct:
"August R. Schillbarger, repre
senting one of the largest grain ex
porting houses in New York, is on
his way lo '.bat city, after having
made a tour of the wheat fields of
the West and Northwest in order to
ascertain what the prospects fo
the coming crop were.
"I believe that the yield of this
year will be phenomenal,.' Mr.
Schillbarger said, "for everything
seems to be working in that direc
tion- In the Dakotas and Minneso
ta, the crops have been excellent so
far, ami unless there is some sud
den and disastrous change in the
weather the harvest will be an ex
ceptionally good one. This is es
pecially true of the region adjacent
to the Red River of the North. I
have frequently visited the wheat
field of that district, and never at
this season of the year have I seen
them looking better than at the
piesent time. Going further south,
the outlook is even better. In South
ern Nebraska, the whole of Kansas,
Northern Texas, and Missouri, the
crops are simply pertect. there
were no late frosts, there has been
plenty of water, and every condi
tion has been favorable for the
growth of wheat.
"There was some fear a short time
ago that heavy rains might damage
the growing crop, but "in my opin
ion, this danger is past. The wheat
is too far advanced to suffer to any
considerable extent, and it may be
counted upon with certainty that
the crops will be the best of any
harvested with the last three years.
"This large yield will not, as is
generally the 'case, depress prices,
for the European drought is the
heaviest for years, and unless
something unexpected conies the
call for American grain will be
unprecedented."
