The Pig Iron Protection.

That wandering minstrel with broken
harp, VIM. Mckinley, Jr., has been
singing to the Southern iron manulactuT-
ers touching ballad about the inestima-
hle service that high duty on pig iron
does them. The fact is that pig iron is
made i'm the Southern furnaces at SIP and
Si3 ton: that pig iron in England costs
SO to Si2 a ton, to which freight, lnSur
ance and commissions must be added, so
that the Southern furnaces need no pro-
lection at all, and if its costs as much TO
make pig iron in Ohio and Pennsylvania
as the manufacturers say, then without
the duty the Northern manufacturers
would have to shut up, and the Southern
furnaces wonld get the whole OF the pig
iron business. which they now divide
with the Northern producers.
The Southern producers, however. are
more anxious to extend their markets
than they are to get the full measure of
..protectiOn." so they are selling pig iron
at prices that make the Ohio furnace men
very weary Of a total of 10 stacks in
the Mahoning Valley only three are now
active. The restriction of the output
amounts to 5000 tons of pig iron per day.
The number of workmen idle is estimated
at 900, which is much smaller than
might be supposed. considering the great
curtailment of production. The ship
ment OF Lake Superior ore is already cut
down one third, and further reduction
Is expected. Vessel freights must neces-
sarily be reduced.
1t appears. then, that the existing duty
of Sc ID ton, which is not at all needed
in the South, does no good to the ONO

Under the heading. "Don't They
Know What They Want?" the New
York Sun says:
Professor Arthur Latham Perry, the great
Williams College free trader, elicted yell
OF " from the members of the Massachus-
e,,s Tariff Reform Club the other night by
making thi, solemn assertions:
"There has never been q protective tariff
tax that was not put there ut The instance oi
men who expected to realized advanced
prices on their goods"
Well, people who have anything to sell
usually like TO get as good price for 1t a.
they can. That is the case even among the
dwellers in the delightful village of Williams
town. Is there anything intrinsicaIiy or ex-
trin>icslly wrong in wanting to get good
price for what you have to sell? Not in
Massachusetts, at any rate.
1t is both, when that increased price
is the result of statute law, and not OF
the law of supply and demand. The
Sun also says:
Now, one of the benefits of the protective
tariff Is that it enables millions Of men who: e
sole stock of goods Is their days labor to sell
that stock at an advanced price.
But, first, that advanced price does
not go to the seller, but to his vender,
the manufacturer. Second, if all went
to the immediate vendors many times
their number would be mulcted to pay
the price. Again:
To lie ,ure Professor Perry and the rest Of
the free trade brethren are positive that the
protective tariff benefits nobody but the
manufacturers. but the majority OF the
American people do not agree with them

faith in Christ at the age of 16, and joined

but their loss is her gain. She has gone to
