IRON AND STEEL.
In the iron and steel schedule, we
began with free ore. The discovery OF
the immense deposits Of Bessemer ores
In the lake region and of foundry ores
in Alabama has rapidly swept us to
the leadership of the world in the pro
duction Of iron and steel, and brought
Lear at hand our undiSputed supre
macy in the great field of manutac
lures. The use Of steam shovelS re-
duces the cost of mining to a point
where the wages paid "natural labor
are irrelevant. Pig iron we reduce
from $672 per ton which is from 60 to
10 per cent, to uniform duty Of % (
per cent. a rate somewhat higher IN
| proportion than the rest of the Srhed,
| ule, because Of cheap freight rates OH
foreign pig, it being faVorite freight
| on westward voyages. Steel rails we
reduce from $l3ii per ton, now IS per
cont, to - per cent, AS the pool
| which has Kept prices up 50 many
years in ihiS country seems now diSOr
ganlZed, the other producers will soon
| need protection, more against Mr..
Carnegie at pittSburg and Mr.. Stirling
at Chicago than against foreign pro-
duccrs. IhC residue Of the schedules
varies from % TO 30 per cent, wood
| screws bciUg put at the latter figure.
| Iron beams and girders arc 80 per cent,
l. oauSo Of the waste in cutting beams
and the variety OF lengths and sizes,
an, also Of the frequent necessity of
changing the rolls III making beams
