futile because there is no time even if there were a will to act upon it. Whether MT. Babcock's act is in good faith, as it possibly may be, he having i'll that case, been converted by the Democartic arguments on the subject, or whether it is merely part of Re- publican bluff to mend it's former record, the result will necessarily be the same-that is, nothing
 It may be of interest to state that MT. Babcocks bill is careful to ex- clude both tin plate and pig iron from the free list. It repeals nearly all of schedule C. of the Dingley tariff act, which imposes duties on metals and their manufacturers In addition to this section, which practically wipes out the duty on wire nails made of wrought iron or steel, the free list is made to include cut nails or cut spikes of iron or steel, wheels for railway purposes, whether wholly or partly finished, iron or steel locomotive, car and other railway tires
 The articles in the metal schedule of the tariff law affected by MT Bab- cocks bill are bar iron, square iron, rolled or hammered; round iron, char coal iron, structural iron, including beams, girders, joists, angles, chan nels, car trucks channels, columns and posts, boiler or other plate iron or steel, forgings of iron or steel hoop, band, or scroll iron or steel, railway bars made of iron or steeel, and rail- way bars made in part of steel; "T'' rails and punched iron or fiat steel, sheets of iron or steel, all or steel sheets or plates, and all hoop, band or 'scroll iron or steel, except what are known commercially as tinplate: steel ingots, eogged ingots, bloom and slabs, by whatever process made: bill lets and bars, and tapered or beveled bars; wire rods, rivets, screw fence and other iron or steel rods, whether round, oval, flat, or square, or in any other shape, and nail rods in coil or otherwise; round iron or steel wire and the manufa cures of iron and steel. c.
