A detailed examination of the tin plate and galvanized iron industries shows a competitive battle over tariffs. The American Tin Plate association and the galvanized iron group align to influence duties, arguing that higher protection will steer builders toward more expensive galvanized product, while Mexico? No. The piece notes industry inertia and limited domestic production, with tensions between unions, manufacturers, and lawmakers.

Origin of the Piano by Cristofori in 1709
The pianoforte was invented by Bartolommeo Cristofori of Padua who showed four instruments in 1709. Other claims cite Marins of France, Schroeter of Dresden, or Father Wood, but Scipione Maffei's 1711 document confirms Cristofori’s 1709 exhibit and his hammer action. Cristofori later died poor in 1731.
