EFFECT OF FREE TRADE IN INCREASING;
PRICES!

MIR. MoRnIs, of Pennsylvania, in his speecb
made during the late session OF Congress in
defence of the Wing Tariff of 1912, gives a
striking illustration of the effect of Free
Trade in increasing prces-From 1888 to
IS42, it will be remembered that Rail Road
iron was admitted into the country free of
duty. The price just before the duty was "a
ken oil, namely in 1882, was S34 81 per ton.
but instead of falling, as might have been ex-
pected, 1t continued to advance until. in 1910. if
had got,o $50 81 per ton. After 40, the de-
mand ceaslng in this country the price fell And
now, in 1914, with $25 duty per ton, the
price is $23: IL. Here we sec what it is TO
be at the mercy of Foreign manufacturers ,
IN this interval of free trade, having the en-
''re command of our market, they kept up
prices at such rates as they chose. When
over-productlon was apprehended, or the spirit
OIL competition among themselves threatened
TO over'stock the market, resolutions were
passed by the lron-masters TO blow out their
furnaces, and thus reduce the QUANTITY. In
the English Mining Journal of January 81
1883, is the following explicit declaration ON
that point :-"The present state of the Iron
trace Is very encouraging wise mea-
sures which the Iron-masters adopted last
year, when the demand gradually fell Off in
consequence of the state of affairs in .4mey;co

have the control of our markets; and as in

our own manufactures and give them the
market, and there is nothing to hinder them
from exactlng their own prices.

ment Of debts due him. James *. Polk voted a.
galnst the petition. For the proof, see Cong.
