meeting of the executive committee
of the American Iron and Steel asso
citation held here for the purpose OF
considering the circular letter of
Secretary Manning in relation to the
duties on imports, the following res
olutions were adopted:
Resolved-1. That we approve the
action that has been taken by the Off
GERS of this association in response to
the circular letter of the secretary OF
the treasury, requesting information
from iron and steel manufacturers
concerning the cost of production of
various articles made of iron and
steel, believing that such information
could not fail to justify the present
duties on these products.

this could be done without reopen.
ing the whole question of tariff re-
vision.
8. That we are earnestly opposed :,
any scheme of tariff revision which
contemplates any further changes In
the present tariff than the judiciout
substitution of specific for ad-valoren
duties or the correction of such mani
fost errors as the low rate on tin plate
y rate which gives to England mon
opoly of the manufacture of this in
dispensable article aud permits nj
American citizen TO engage In iti
production.
4. That 1t 10 our sincere opinion
that If general revision of the tariff
should be undertaken at the next SEES
sion of congress the Immediate etiec'
would be to seriously check the wei
come revival in business which has
recently commenced Ia every part o
the country, and we appeal +
congress to pro nptly declare it
hostility to any such project.
D. That we appeal to the presiden
and to the secretary OF the treasur,
to give assurance to the country u
the official papers which they wi
soon prepare, in anticipation OF tn
meeting of congress, aud which wi
be eagerly read by all the people, tha
the project Of another general n
, vision Of the tariff at the preseu
