When Mr.. Carnegie made his steel billet
schedule he played on the country and his
wOrklngmen Il sharp protection trick. lie
arranged his rates of duty in such man
ner that they might always be prohibitory.
The old duty kept out foreign billets and
the new duty is quite as effective. More

can not only keep control of the American
market but can regard the downward ten.

duce the minimum of his wage basis.
In 1891 the rate of duty on steel Bullets
WASH per cent. It was practically prohibi-
tory. Foreign billets averaged $50 ton,
and duty paid, they were worth $50 ton
Plus the cost of transportation. a lower
price was threatened, and if it was realized
Mr.. Carnegie would be Obliged to sell his
product for less than so. Therefore he
changed his rate of duty from ad valorem
to specific so that the equivalent ad valo
rem rate of tax would increase as price
went down.
ON billets ranging in price from $50 to
S2S a ton he induced MIR. Mckinley TO fix
II tax of five-tenths Of cent q pound
When billets were SIS ton this tax was
equivalent to nearly 80 per cent. The rate
on billets at S25 would be Az per cent So
there was an apparent reduction. But as
the price fell the al vulorem rate rose, for
tax of Slu on $50 is a greater percentage
tax than SO on S2S. When the price
reached SD the sum on which Mr.. Car
nege wished to fix as u compromise basis
for his wages, the rate of tax was nearly
IS per cent, and English billets at $50 in
Liverpool would bring $20,GO here, plus
freight and insurance.
MIR. Carnegic's new schedule enabled
him to keep 4 market that was threatened.
1t maintained his prohibtory protection
and it gave him basis OH which to reduce
wages. lie insisted that the wages of labor
should go down while his own percentage

stop where it is, receiving an unchanged
