one exception, agree in saying that to remove
the duty on iron, would be to PROSTATE their
ship yards, and they ought TO know their
business.
Mr.. Brooks-What a confession that is of
the inferiority Of American workmen and
American genius.
Mr.. K.lley-Not at all.
Mr.. Brooks-What is it but an admission
that American tradesmen have not brains or
ability enough to compete with Englshmen
and Scotchmen?
Mr.. Kelley-American rolling mills must
make plates and deliver them at the shin
yards, and if shipbuilders were to depend on
the Scotch and English rolling mills, the or.
der and the pattern must cross the Atlantic,
and the plates be cast there and sent here.
In the one case the work goes on instantane-
ously, in the other thirty days must intervene
between the receiving and job, and procuring
plates that might be remedied in one way
that is, by your shipbuilders being provided
with such an enormous capital as would en-.
able them to keep piled up plates for ships
of every form. But inasmuch as it il an in
dustry just coming into existence no one en-
gagged in it has such capital. Therefore
those engaged in that industry pray US to
protect the rolling mills, so that they may be
located at Chester, Wilmington, Gloucester,
and at the upper and lower extremities of
Philadelphia, and so that iron shipbuilding
may cope to be among our prominent indus
tries.
Leonard Myers of Pennsylvania-Does the
gentleman (Brooks) advocate the doctrine
that American mechanics and shipbuilders
shall be paid no better than such mechanics
are paid on the Clyde?
Mr.. Brooks declined to 60 into that branch
of the subject, but remarked that up to the
passage of the high tariff of 1860, American
ships were built in Maine, Massachusetts.
