country was so low that English producers could not
manufacture the quality at the same rates Iron
could be laid down the docks in this city at 2i cents
nor pound while the came grade Of English manu!ac-
ture would cost nearly Onehalf cent more
Although there some grades of "ektras lot "hcn
thi, reduction would open the way Mr Oothout d not
think American manufacturers lad any reason 10 ied
from the reductions. The tariff would stil be prohio-
tory and foreigners could not compete with Americans
II The present prices Mr Oothout thought 1t would De
benent in making Americans moro careful IN regulating
the cost OF their production great deal OF money a
been wasted I'm this country which wise economy sh
have saved There had already been an improvement III
these respects in consequence OF the panic of 1870 Inc
