DTTIES ON STEEL RAILS.

Perhaps there has never been swifter ana
larger improvement in any great industry IMAM
has appeared in the iron and steel manufacture
since the collapse of the steel rail POOL. Inc
sales Of rails. in some cases as low as Slo per
ron II is said. but mostly at ST. to $50 per ton
have amounted TO more than 100000 TONS II
reports are correct for the Illinois Steel Com
,,anv claims to have taken contracts for more
than 100000 tons and the Carnegie Company
announces sales about as large, while the other
Eastern companies have not been idle Inc
most sensational report is that 25.O9O tons have
been sold to the London and Northwestern. 20
900 TO the London and Southwestern. 11,OOO 10
Janan. and enough to make 100000 in all to
other foreign buyers, at prices running from $lI
inward. Under present conditions. if these
could be expected to continue, no duty on rails
would seem necessary for the protection of this
industry
But at this very point 1t is essential to note
thar a Protective tariff does not contemplate the
continuance of the present state OF things. 1t
does not propose TO make permanent the redCc-
tion of wages by the Cambria the Carnegie or
The Illinois Steel Company, but cOntemplates the
probability that better times will make rail
making more profitable to the hands and TO the
employers. that smelling of iron and making of
steel billets will be rendered more profitable,
and also the production and transportation OF
ore and fuel This is a consideration OF the
highest Importance. which free-traders are par
ticularly anxious 10 overlook. Because panic
prices and wages have permitted successful
connection with foreign concerns, 1t Is fO0lishly
assumed that such prices and wages can be or
ought to be permanent.
intense
American establishments may in time reduce
prices Of rails, the cost Of ore and coke and the
cost of TRANSPORTATION cannot be foreseen. But no
man who tries to adjust duties so as to sustain
American industries in times Of general pros
perty will consider present wages or prices a
safe basis Of calculation. II there should be
added a reasonable and healthy increase In min
ing, coke making. smelling, steel making and
the rolling Of rails, It may be seen that the
American industry would speedily need a GER
trin measure OF defence, not as things are now,
but In the better times which all desire and
which can only be made lasting by defending
the great Industries against competition when
ever prices and wages abroad are depressed
Because there could hardly be a better illus
tratlOn, tariff trainers and all who discuss the
subject should always have In mind the fact
that Protective tariff IL not and ought not to
be framed for condition Of extreme prostra-
ton of industries and wages. If 1t is not so adj
justed as to serve well and effectively In an en-
trely different state of things, 1t can do no
permanent good. The conditions now existing
in this country are altogether without prece.
