IRON AND THE IRON TRADE
The Pittsburg American has the following
article on the depressed condition ofthis
great national interest:
There is an unwontcd dulness in the
trade of Iron that discouragcs US. We
have witnessed its three collapscs in so
years--bui in the present we find a des-
pondency and hopclessness of change for
the better, that neither of the former two
were attended with. The first was in Is
20 when the peace with England left the
trade unprotected, which was followed by
slight additional duties on Iron until the
tariff oll62S.wliich brought food OF pros
perity tina: almost intoxicated US. This
was followed by the hapless compromise
and the general prostra;ion Of Iron and
agricultural intcrerts in 1910. al. But
from the gloom of,hat day came the hope
Of the Iron mantle farmer, the laborer.
and the merchant of new and more Jas,
regard for their interests cnthe part of their
government, and aconfdence that this hope
would be realised and the confidence was
justified by the tarltfof AZ. Under the
influence Of this protective measure the
country enjoyed bright. but short lived
prosperity. which it was doomed to see
ohghted blythe treachery of,hoseithadt rus
ted and the tariff law of 1916 has renewed
the pressure on this trade, and the domi.
nance OF the party which enacted it, for
bids to usihe hope Of relief which we eniov-
ed under the two former revulsions.
