SIR-The advocates Of the continuance
of the present war tariff profess great re-
gard for the welfare of the laboring man.
They object to revision on the ground
tina; the wages OF the lnhoTer will thereby
he reduced. The fact i8 their claim is not
borne ont by the history of the past The
present tariff was fixed in l--f and an ad-
vance WAS then made in the principal arti-
cles of manufacture, hut did the owners
advance the scale OF prices paid Labor? !
think not They deliberately pocketed
the advance. and that Is their incentive to
oppose the oQualiziug and revising Of the
tarill al this time.
II they were the friends of labor they
claim TO be- why not put tarill on import
ed labor? That would hc in the interest
Of the working man; but 10, they want
labor free they want 10 restriction OF that
article of import.
As to the necessity Oi . revision aud re

persisted in financial crisis that will
plunge this whole country into distress.
Now the only remedy il the reduction Of
tbc taxes aud customs on the necessities
of life and on raw materials. This does
not mean free trade, but a moderate aud
reasonable reduction OF the tariff The
tariff now in force has been the cause of
the growth of mouopolies and trusts which
are sApping the life ot the nation and
grinding the working man and small
capitalist to powder. The proper revis-
ion ol the tarill will put stop 10 all this
and give the bone and sinew Of the couu

THE NAIL TRADE.
Why tho Price of Nails Was Advanced
How Pittsburg Looks At It.

Why tho Price of Nails Was Advanced
How Pittsburg Looks At IL.
What was the cause of the advance il
the card rate of nails at the meeting of the
Western Nail Association" asked a RIG
TsrER man of a manufacturer yesterday.
why, We have been selling nails lately
below what il cost MS TO make them, and
so we came TO the conclusion il was about
time TO call halt on that sort of business.
At the price now, s. 10, We are enabled TO
realize few cents"
How is the nail market at present."
We'll, it has taken a little squirt and
nails are selling quite lively. In fact, the
trade IS III better condition at this time
than ever knew it 10 be at this season Of
the year. We are shipping great many
nails, and understand all the other fac
tories in the city are doing the same"
In speaking Of the meeting of the As
socistiou the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette
says This does not affect The Pitts
burg factories which are in the Western
Nail Association. The Western Associa-
tlon has stock on hand estimated at
2OO,O00 kegs. The Eastern Trust does
not, in opinion of manufacturers here,
affect the trade in this district and the
combination West is sufficiently strong to
resist all outside competitions" A promi-
uent PIttsburg manufacturer, speaking
last night of the condition ul affairs there,
said:
pittsburgh is fast cclsiug to be classed
as nail city. There are not 200 machines
IN operation there, and only two mills
where the work IS prosecuted. The West
ern manufacturers have been at the mercy
Of the dealers for 80 long that they feel
that more united action must be taken in
holding up prices
'Will there be = trust in the West simi-
lar to the Eastern
mo; this is not necessary. The present
association can uphold prices. Pittsburgh
factories have been rather independent OF
the remainder Of the association, as they
possess an immunity from competition"
