bers of our own citizens are dependent
upon it for support, the business is
threatened with annihilation by the
pressure of English and Prussian max
ers. We, as users of steel rails and
transporters of the food and material
American manufactures, and their nu>
merous employees and skilled laborers,
do not desire to be dependent exclu-
sively upon the foreign supply, and
therefore joined in asking that instead
of the present advalorem duty spe-
cifc duty of two cents per pound be
placed upon this article, being the rate
fixed by bill which passed the Senate
January 81. 1867, aud of a bill which
was>reported to the House by the Com
mittee of Ways and Means during the
same year, provided that all steel rails
contracted for by railroad companies
before January l, 1870, be permitted
to enter the country at the present
rgtes of duty for six months after the
passage of an act fixing the duty as
herein petitioned for,
