MANNING'S CIRCULAR

Considered by the American Iron and
Steel Tariff Revision.
PHILADELPHIA, October l4.-At meet
ing of the Executive Committee Of the
American Iron and Steel Association held
here to-day, for the purpose of considering
the circular letter Of Secretary Manning,
in relation TO duties on imports, the follow,
ing resolutions were unanimously adopted
Resolved, That We approve the action
that has been taken by the officers of this
association in requesting, in response 10
the circular later Of the Secretary Of the
Treasury, information from iron and steel
manufacturers concerning the cost Of pro-
duction OF various articles of iron and steel
believing that such information could not
fail to justify the present duties on these
products. -,
Resolved, That we regard the present
tariff, which was enacted less than three
years ago, after nearly two years Of Con-
gressional agitation as being in the main
wise law, although it contains some de-
fects which we would be glad to see cor
rected, il this could be done without re.
opening the whole questioo by tariff re-
vision.
Resolved. That we are earnestly opposed
to any scheme of tariff revision which con.
emplates any further charges in the pres.
ent tariff than the judicious substitution Of
specific for advslorem duties, or the cor,
rection Of such msnfest errors as the low
rate on tn plate, a rate which gives to
Epgland the monopoly Of the manufacture
OF this indispensable article and permits
no American to engage in its production
Resolved, That it is our sincere opinion
that if general revision Of the tariff
should be undertaken at the next session
of Congress, the immediate effect would
be TO seriously check the welcome reviviDg
Of business recently commenced in every
part Of the country, and we appeal to Con-
gress to promptly declare its hostility to
any such project
Resolved. That we appeal TO the Presi.
dent and Secretary Of the Treasury 10 give
assurance TO the country in the official
papers which they will soon prepare in an
ticipllion Of the meeting of Congress, aud
which will be eagerly read by all people
that the project Of another general revision
OF the tariff at The present time does not
receive their official sanction.
Resolved, That such information as has
been collected by the American Iron and
S&eel Association concerning the cost OF
production OF iron and steel, shall be trsns-
uitted to the Secretary Of the Treasury at
as early day as possible and that copies
Of the foregoing resolutions be transmitted
to the President and Secretary Imme-
diatcly.
