We invite the attention Of readers to the letter Of
our New York commercial correspondent in another coll
umn and especially would commend IL to those who
have listened to the unounded clsmor which has been
raised against the revenue bill Of 1916, with view to
sustain the present administration in recommending the
re-esiablishment Of prohibitions and restrictions Our
correspondent reviews the action Of the late meeting Of
ron-masters At Psburg. and exposes the unreasonable
demands set forth by that assembly with cearness
which must carry conviction to all whose eyes are not
blinded by personal political interest II is shown by
an official table compiled at the New York custom house.
thatlo5,9i4 tons Of iron imported from England for
six months ending with August last and that its average
cost in the English ports $22 o5 ton II further
shown that the freights, Duties exchange and other
charges, amounted $l2 ton These charges give to
the American iron.massrs protection Of more than fifty
per cent in the New York market. When the imported
iron is sent to Ptsbuw il will cost $50 tom $2s more
than the English maker sells il for. Yet the Pittsbug
convention endeavoed to induce the belief that they
oppressed by the operation Of the bill Of 1885,
and insisted that specific duty Of $40 should be
levied pg-ron, and Of $40 ton on common bar iron
Such an increase Of duty would swell the profits Of the
few ron-masters all Of whom have grown rich by their
business. while il would crush the thousands who are
engaged in manufacturing iron and applying il to useful
purposes seems to to be impossible consider the
views presented by correspondent and resist the con-
vicon that the struggle to establish protection is nothing
less than effort made by the holders Of money capital
to reduce the wages Of labor and fat the oppres
sion of labor But win not repeat what have often
said this point We content ourselves with reminding
readers that we have commended that free trade
tended markets and enhanced the value Of our agr
cultural productions and thereby increased the wages Of
labor in every branch of business. Our views this
point are fully sustained by the fact stated by
spondent, that the New England manufacturers find it
difficult to obtain operatives There is demand for Ia
bor because labor finds employment But the restric
tioniss would destroy our commerce, make exports
worthless, and by that means cheaper labor that cap
ital may employ it at low wages We glad to see
that this matter is becoming to be understood in
Pennsylvania When it understood, we shall hear no
more Of class Legislation in our country
