MONDAY EVENING, FEB. 20. 1884
Iron Makers and the Tariff.

The iron manufacturers, or ratner
delegation Of prominent Makers nave
been before the congressional committee
In protest against the Morrison tariff
bin |; and printed protest is circulating
among the manufacturers which will
doubtless receive the signatures of nearly
all. A bill proposing tariff reduction
Is like a red flag waved In the average
iron manufacturers face. He has SO
long been used to contemplate high
tariff on iron rs the palladium Of
his industry, that he has not the
slightest conception that the world
moves, and that the tariff Is not so much
of palladium as 1t once was. III IL was
not for this long continued habit OF
thought It would be necessary to set the
iron manufacturers down as fools, VINO
protest that high tariff is all that their
industry needs to make it prosperous, in
the face of the fact that iron making Is
now Improbable, although 1t enjoys the
protection of tariff which forbids for.
eign competition. 1t is the home com
petition now which takes away the
profits. There is more now made than
the country consumes. The mills and
furnaces are limiting orders, because
there are not enough to go around
among them all, and thus knock down
prices 10 get them until prices recede
below cost. Every manufacturer knows
this but the most of them seem re.
solved to refuse to make public admis
sion of it. They still declare that high
tariff will save them.
One OF them, a Mr.. Morehead, Of
Philadelphia, who says he has two idle
furnaces in the Schuylkill Valley, prints
in the Bulletin of the Iron and Steel as
sociation, statement of the cost Of his
pig iron, which he brings up to over
eighteen dollars, while the average price
he can get for it is less than eighteer
dollars and Mr.. Morehead conclude:
that this is positive evidence that thu
tariff is too low an addition of two dol
lars to the duty, he says would fix hin
all right for profitable manufacture. 1t
seems hard to believe that an intelli
gent manufacturer would say anything
SO silly, when he knows that iron is made
in some parts of this country at cost Of
twelve dollars ton against his eighteen
dollars, and when, as Mr.. Morchead
ought to know, if he does not, iron |:
made by many furnaces in this region al
an average cost OF about seventeen dol
lars. The Colemans, Grubbs, Freemans
Fergusons, and all who enjoy the right t
take free ore from the great Cornwall
deposit, make iron at much less cost thar
their neighbors, aud no one making {
like quality Of iron can compete will
them in their market, when they are abl,
to supply it as they will be shortly if the!
continue building mammoth furnaces
what will Mr.. Morehead do to get away
from their competition ? Will higt
tariff help hill any, and how ?
The iron manufacturers would do wei
to consider whether they had not better
see what is plain to all unprejudiced eyes
that what they need in the future ar,
cheap raw materials and wide market
