FIVE articles heretofore rated, among which
are spirits of turpentine, sponges, crude salt
peter, resin, asphaltum and nitrate of lead.
A material change is recommended in the in.
ternai revenue tax, involving an abolition of
the tax on most articles now speci-
bed. Referring to the revival of our
merchant marine, Mr.. Hill says: "In
our industries at home, as veil in
our credit abroad, there is no source of per-
sonal employment snd national pride so
great as ship building. Let Congress properly
give subvention to our mail transports, and
the demand for American ships will immedi.
ately prove the falsity and absurdity of the
assertion that Americans cannot build ships,
and the foolish assertion that tariff on five
per cent. of ships cost for crude material
could affect the conditions of our shipping
CT Immunity" A tariff tribunal, comprised of
a United States Commissioner of Customs, a
representative selected from the merchants or
manufacturers. and e third arbitrator selected
by both. similar to the provision of the
tariff law Of France, is earnestly recon-.
mended.
Proposed Revolution in the Iron Manu-
factuIing Business.
PITTsBURG. November 19sh.-A movement
Is on foot in Wheeling to utterly revolution
ize the iron manufacturing business Of that
city and Of the whole country. The plan Of
ehs iron and nail manufacturers there is to
do entirely away with pudding and u5dlers,
and OF course with puddlers' strikes.
A syndicate formed in Wheeling during the
recent troublesome strike have held a
series of star chamber sessions, the result of
which has been the sending of one of Wheel
ing's most prominent mill managers-Frank
j. Herndon-to this city, to arrange the pre-
iimlnsrles for putting the plan in operation.
10 Iaa Nj. 10 It, II
ing that we make above three-sevenths Of the
nails made In the United States Over 5000
puddlers are employed in pudding the iron
which we cut into nails. l am placing con.
tracts where they may be concluded at
any time most suitable to the Wheelir g
syndicate for all necessary equipments
to be found in frst-class Bessemsr works
The syndicate have an unlimited command of
money, aud will break ground IN January for
new works. They will have capacity to
start with 5000 tons per year of low carbon
steel. This output the syndicate will divide
up into consigHments according to the Ca
pacity of the different nail mills represented,
and each will get It's allotment of SO mary
car loads OF steel per day from the Besse-
mer mill. The principal mills ia Wheeling
district are connected with the new enter
prise. When we begin turning cut steel
nails in Wheeling, all the other nail mills in
the country must follow suit or lose their
trade. AT least that is the way it has been
figured out by the nail experts in Wheeling.
The move Is the most important one made in
years In the iron business, and will revolu-
tionizs the trade Of the country. II the
movement is success, in five wears puIdlel
iron will not be in the market.
