THE TARIFF COMMISSION.
Recommendation as 70 the DUTY 81
Bar IrOu, Ore ana Pie Iron.

i DoE AEO8s OTo on0 El8 HkU1s
| WAsHINeroS, December 5.-The reduc
ton of duties recommended on bar iron Il
rs great as should be made, ranging from
ten to twenty per cent. The arrangement
of the classification is in the line Of sim.
plication. Iron fat bars, round and squares.
and the smaller and finer sizes have been
| placed in different classifcations respec-
lively and graded as to rates more in ac.
cord with their cost of production and
market value.
The Commission does not recommend
any material decrease in the duties on
sheet iron. The average is a low I'd valo-
rem percentages, and, considering the in
creating imporsstions, the adoption Of the
rates suggested b recommended.
On hoop, band and scroll iron a redue
tion is recommended on the three classes,
of five, ten and fifteen cents per one hum
dred pounds respectively. This clxss OF
iron is pos in the present law dutiaSle at
rates prOpoftionate ~ other lines of ner-
chant iron, and considering the additional
labor over hsT iron required for rolling
hoops and bands, as great a reduction: is
recommended - would be equitable aid
inst. The rates RECOMMENDED are in inst
rsSio between bar iron and sheet iron.
The Commission has in sealing the duties
on'the variouN gIades Of merchant, plaae
and sheet iron, aimed to sSrange them %
thai the differ mt sues and qualities should
bear true relStiop TO eactr other, accorvat
ing - the original est both ut home and
abroad.
Rates on SAe and Pig Iron.
No radical change IN the existing daty on
iron ore is proposed The commission
recommends speuific rate Of fifty cents
per ton, instead Of she present. rate OF
twenty per centum aa' E1lorem.
The commission reconme1d that pig
iron and al kinds otscrsp iron be classified
of one cent per pound. The slightly in
creased duty upon Gust scrap iron which
this change OF classification necessisltes Is
of little moment, for the reason that .
small quantity of cast scrap'iron is now inn
ported; and the amount in the futue will
in all probability be mach less. The rates
on wrought scrap and on Old iron railway \
bars (which have been the heaviest item or
scrap Importation have been peduced rom !
eight dollars per ton TO three-Senths OF one I
cent per pound.
Ii is believed by the commission that q I
further reduction OF duty orpig iron than
that recommended would result disas-
trously 10 that important interest The
large amount imported last year $50 l62
tonsl, about oneefyhth Of oar total con.
shows that the present duty il
not highly protective. The duty on inn
portations of pig iron in 1887 averaged
only thirty-four per cent 0d r6ts'ym. The
Of pig iron is wi iely spread.
through twenty-five States, and,
considering the present depressed condi-
hon of the industry, radical re-fuctiol
would be neither wise nor polite:

Love Affairs, Etc.

/ @oNC AHAAESS EstCs
WASHINGTON, December 5.-The Presi-
| dents leyees will not begin until after the
holidays. There is much talk about Con-
gress not adjourning for the holidays, but
this is an ancient farce that is gone through
with every year with commendable regu-
larity. and ends just where it began-in
talk. As Lent begins early in February
things will have to be rushed, and the
Ieyees, which will be four in number, will
have to be crowded close upon one another.
1t can't be denied that Washington society
IS Just little gone on the handsome, digni-
hned President He is as simple aud un-
anected as he possibly can be, and conse-
quently extremely elegant. 1t is q
great mistake to suppose that the
fact that he is President makes
people indulgent toward him. On
the contrary, he is on that account sub.
1ected to severer scrutiny and keeRer criti-
cism. He is a perfect
Master OF Social Fence.
No man was ever so anxions for q social
prosecution as Mr.. Blaine was. To have
been kicked out OF Office and ordered out of
the White House would have suited his
purpose exactly. Instead of that he was
let down as easily as possible, and treated
with the most marked social Difference, be.
ing repeatedly invited to dinners at the
White House, both formally and inform
ally. The same may be said of half a
dozen other men whom the Presidant knew
to be yindictiyely opposed to him. They
might plot against him, but he refused to
oblige them by opening q social warfare.
As for the Presidents nultitudinous love
affairs, which are regularly telegraphed

dents, he has no more idea of being married
than the pODe
