The consumption of tin, or' more properly tinned iron, costs thia country every year nearly $20,000,000, of which at least $l'i,MJO,000 is for labor which ought to be paitl to American workmen. Some pro gress has been made in thia industry in New York city. The Monitor Tin Plate Company, of New York, occupies a building in Horatio street, where the tinning is done. The iron ia rolled in Pittsburg, Pa. The sheets are rolled in the ordinary way, then cut or sheared to lilt and immersed in a pickling bath. They are then cold -rolled again, annealed and pickled, ami put into baths of Kuaaian tallow or palm oil. Then they pass through several baths of 't tin melted at a high temperature and again through sawdust and bran to cleanse the sur face. Finally they are polished with lamb's- Inch the ouni! frv hate.

This is the old method of tinning by hand that haa been in vogue in Europ for the last hundred years. We believe that the same results can be accomplished by the uss of machinery, in which case the tinning will be greatly accelerated, and the cost of tin much decreased. The business has assumed such importance that the late convention of iron and steel manufacturers held at Pittsburg sent a petition to Congress suggesting a change in the law imposing duties on tin, stating that the tin plate busineaa represents an annual consump tion of over 130,000 tons of pig iron, about 1,000,000 tons of co.il, and about 50 rolling mills having two trains eaeh, all required to supply the demand for that article, and that protective duties should be imposed to develop tins industry which would give employment to at least 40, MW persons.
