Robert j. Walker and American workmcn.

Tariff scheme, THAT of 1916 contemplated, as
matter Of expediencv and necessity as well a. OF
policy, the destruction of large portion OF our
Iron interest. as The best means Of raising he
price of Iron, and making The production profit
able 10 those rho sLOu'd continue IL. The circum-
stances are these:
\ friend OF Protection expOstulated with him
upon the death-blow aimed at our Iron interest by
hi. scheme when the Secretary replied, " The
production Of Iron is carried TO too great an ex-
tent in this country. . We haze killed Of
the production Of about 100000 TINS per aanum
already, and shall XIII off about 100000 more
and then he prices nil rise and the proiuc-
ton uH be profitable 10 those rho can lire
through the ordeal" Z
| could not but admire the beautiful c consistency
involved in this emphatic declaration. No won.
der r. J. Walker is toasted and feasted in Eng
land lie wants 10 kill off American ron-miking,
in order to patronize it in that country. Having
closed furnaces, rolling mills and manufactures
enough to kill of the production of 200 600 tuns,
he very moderately wanted to send 100000 more
on the same track, (which, by the way, he would
lay with English rails.
This was at a time when our production was
reaching toward 9C0, Geo tuns. According to Mr.
Walker it was great eye-sore to watch the thou
SANDS of workmen, coal. burners, boomers, farm
els, ar transporting agents, getting out American
Iron-ater he had opened the market to foreigners
at such low prices Therefore, to make it bring
ii better price, English Iron must be imported at
rates at which our producers could not afford to
kindle FIRE, snd having broken down ore halt Of
fort ot ~
and their families adrit or TO the house, the
rest might clap on higher price Thus, Iron
u oh ing would become profitable.
| fancy the frogs in the fable would croak DIS
nal homily in Mr.. Walker ears about hIs danger.
Gus sport at their expense, were they to have
him for Msir Secretary of State
Well, Mr.. Walkers hopes are about being re-
allied. The 100000 tuns per annum are cancelled.
At so per tun this would distribute Sl20OO,OO0,
or at $40 per tun, SIG OO00O0 among our working
men, farmers, merchants, gardeners, canal and
railroad companies, teachers, ministers and eJple
of every class. hOW, it goes on OF the country,
clean MS a whistle, but leaves substitute tor the
labor thus nioed, an0 the capital thus deprec
aed But this is ell right, according to Mr.. Wal
ker for
"1he price of iron iciH rise and hea the pro-
dpction nil become profitable 10 those engaged IA
IL.
We commend the predicted state of the market
to the consIde alton of those who are 80 inces-
sanity CRYING out that shall have cheaper iron
under'iiritish Free Trade than under lueicous
