In the Thrift bill which is now before
Congress it is proposed to put the enormous
duty Of two cents per pound, or si4.so per
ton, On steel rails. The cost Of steel rails
IN England Is $3.50 per ton. The tariff
is, therefore, equal to nearly 100 per cent.
The cost OF iron rnils in tic United States ia
about S57 Per ton. The Grand Trunk Rail
wayof Canada is nowpntting down steel rails
at nbout the cost of iron rails in this coun-
try. This road is competitor Of all the
East aud West lines Of RAILWAY IN the United
States, aud when it shall have supplied il
ssaf with steel Truck IN placo of theperish-
ab1e iron rails nsed BY American
roads, it will become very
important conpoeitor. Il is worth
while for our railway managers to consider
whether they can afford to sec duty iu-
posed upon steel railway bara, tho effect Of
which viii be 10 give this Canadian nral an
advantage over them equal 70 100 par cent
