Tin plate in doubt and education bill fate
The free trade press doubted tin plate could be made here but later admitted it might be possible though unprofitable. The New York Times says Laufman can make tin plate and others do so in limited supply. The state education bill passed the legislature but was killed in the senate, seen as a vote-driven, harmful measure. Bricklayers in England and Mohne face wage and protection issues, highlighting trade contrasts.

Beet Sugar Boost for Nebraska Farmers under McKinley Bill
A Nebraska editor argues the beets and beet sugar industry will benefit farming more than other parts of the McKinley tariff. Two Nebraska factories, at Grand Island and Norfolk, will spur beet cultivation, with six thousand acres planted already. If successful, a dozen more plants may emerge across Nebraska and Iowa, keeping money at home rather than paying Germany and other nations. The piece notes the bounty ends in 1405 and stresses the long-term potential of domestic sugar production.
