The Manufacturers Record au.
nonnces that the Admission Pipe a
Foundry Co.. of Admission. Ala. has
secured "a contract for $4,000 tons 81
east IRON water pipe. 10 be shipped TO
Yokoha ma, Japan. The contract was
awarded on a bid submitted in compc-
tition with leading European iron
manufa cturers. and will be the largest
foreign shipment ever made by an
American iron works. This is bs-
licved tn be only the beginning of cx-
tcnsivc exports Of iron and steel 10
Japan.
Here we have the strongest possible
proof Of the assertion Of the tariff re-
formers that our iron industry needs
no protection but could easily com
pete with all iron-producing countries
For over thirty years the American
consurncr has paid greatly increased
prices for all iron and steel products,
under the pretense that without the
protection of high duties against
foreign steel and iron. our mills
and foundrie~ would have To close
down. In spite Of the fact that we
possess the richest deposits Of coal, iron
ore. lime. etc. in the world. ami con
sequcntl have natural advantage in
the conversion OF these raw materials
into finished products which has made
US the greatest iron producing country
in the world, the republicans whined
about ..our in FAINT iron industry" and
maintained an alinos: prohibitiye tariff
on foreign iron and steel. The result
has been TO establish great trusts
which have controlled prices and COM
PEELED the consumer To pay far more
than the same goods could have been
bought for under free competition.
The attempt Of the democrats TO lower
the heavy duties on iron and steel was
vigorously opposed by every republic
| an in congress, and all the hired organs
of monopoly. on the ground that the
admission OF foreign goods would ruin
our manufacturers
When the Wilson tariff, with il,
greatly reduced iron and steel duties
became a law the republican pres
prophesied all sorts of calamity. Blu
the result was exactly the reverse o
their toleful prediction. for the pas
eleven months have witnessed th'
greatest prosperity that the iron in
dustry has experienced for years
Idle mills and furnaces have starte'
up. wages have been increased by al
the principal manufacturers. thou

employment. and it seems likely tina

ket, but onr exports are increasing
and with few more wears of tariff re
form the United States will obtain II

and Germany, there is certainly NJ
reason why any duties should be need

Under the high protective laws the
price OF wool fell from So cents in 1867
to the lowest point Of all in 1894 undcr
the Mckinley law. Now II Is begin
ming TO advance again under the new
tariff law. The fact is that In Ohio in
1857, when the frst law protecting
wool was passed. there were over -
600, 600 head of sheep, and the price OF
wool was 80 cents a pound. From that
time until the 18th Of last August wool
was under the so-callcd protective
laws, and yet the number OF sheep de-
creased over one-half Ind the price
dropped to about IL cents per pound.
Republican organs have never attempt
ed to explain the reason for this reduc-
ton in sheep and the price Of wool. but
went right along demanding protec'
ton for wool, knowing that the results
give the lie to their false claim. and
they are still at it.-Zanesvilc lO.) Sig

few years ago. a number of mon keys
were kept in large circular cage. di'
vided into compartments by wire par
titions Each day when the animals
were fed. instead of eating his own
portion a monkey would thrust his
head through the wires and steal from
his neighbor's dish. While he was
thus engaged the next monkey was
stealing from him. and so on all around
the cage The result was that in the
scram BILE and quarreling a good deal
of the food was spilled and wasted.
and while few stronger and cunning
monkeys got more than their share,
the others were poorer than II each
had eaten his own portion.
These monkeys. without knowing
it. were trne protectionists. and Illus
trated perfectly the ideal state Of So
ciety from high tariff point of view.
The Mckinlcyites would have us sll
engaged in trying TO take by taxation
from each others wealth. for the pur-
pose Of making everybody rich through
stealing from every body. The farmer
would be robbed for the alleged bene-
fit of the workingman. the latter for
the benefit OF the manufactures. who
himself would be robbed by duties on
raw material for the benefit Of the

Lower rarsn Reduces Trust Pronts.
The operations OF the sugar trust
under the Wilson tariff. as set forth in
the report Of Willett 4 Gray. the well
known sugar statisticians. shows that
during the first six mon this of this year
the trust made net profit OF 49, OOO.-
600 This is said 10 be the poorest
showing made in any six months OF the
trusts history. and the report makes
il clear that the German graduated
sugar. which was much cheaper than
the American, has been used TO a con-
siderabl extent by fruit Gamers and
prescrvers. This decrease in sugar
crust profits is proof Of the wisdom OF
the Wilson tariff in reducing the pro-
lection on refined sugars Had the
trust no tariff advantage over foreign
refiners the competition in refined
sugar would have still further bene-
nted the American people BY reduced
prices. Sugar can be refined cheaper
IN this country than in any part OF the
world, but IL will be dearer than In
other countries SO long as the sugar
trust is protected in its monopoly BY
even a small duty.

Denver, Col. March 30.-A blizzard struck
Denver at 3 o'clock this morning and a
heavy, wet snow fell for twelve hours
steadily. 1t was accompanied for time
by thunder and lightning. The street rail-
ways were barely able to keep a portion
of their cars running during the day. and
so heavy was the snowfall that great un-
easiness was felt by tenants and property
owners for their roofs which were slowly
piling up tons of weight.
Early this morning a gable Of the Co
lumbine building on Twenty-eighth street,
was blown in by the wind and several
small buildings have been crushed in by
their load Qf snow, but no damage Of any
Importance has yet resulted from the
snow fall.
The storm Is general throughout the
mountain region and extends east as far
as the state line.
No freight trains are being run either
north or west of Cheyenne, and trains on
all of the roads cendering in Denver are
badly delayed The South Park branch
of the Union Pacific is snoWbound in the

division. At Grand Junction the Rio
Grande trains are tied up on account
of the recent washout. The temp pera-
