OF Governor Crane. Of Massachusetts, in
Washington and his brief conference

in particular the situation as it exists in
Massachusetts, where great manufac-

of coal, and where the people in all
walks of life are feeling the effects Of
the contest now going on in the Penn

FEATURES OF the IRON INDUSTRY,

In previous article in the Times
Republican number of features of the
iron trade in our country We're pointed
out, including it's phenomenal prosper
ity and the fact that the business of the
nation is not only absorbing all the
products of iron foundries but import
ing large quantities to supply our own
home demand. Other features of in
terest will be noticed. One authority
states that the shortage of certain iron
and steel gooos in proportion to the de-
mand is chiefly due to the great pros
perity of the railways. 1t is estimated
by steel rail manufacturers that the

NoN.pAR1lsaN SETTLEMENT OF TARIFF.

1t would undoubtedly be great gain
for the people If q non- partisan settle
ment of the tariff question from time
TO time could be effected such as would
promote rather than retard the indus
trial and manufacturing Interests of the
nation. Despite the fact that we have
had one such commission. it is thought
that sufficient trial OF the plan has not
san not bi-partisam business men and
economic experts are enlisted in this
work better results will follow. Dis
cussing the intimate relations of bust
ness interests and the tariff the Review
Of Reviews fer October expresses the
opinion that Undoubtedly some of the
great corporations, loosely called trusts,
are affected very closely by tariff con-
ditions; others. are affected scarcely at
all. In every case the facts should be
considered dispassionately. Thus, it
does not happen to be true that the
United States Steel Corpora ton has ta-
ken advantage of the tariff to exact the
highest possible prices, for 1t is we'll
known that it has been the policy of
this so-called steel trust to keep prices
promote a healthy and constant state
of the market for it's wares. But the
steel trust is a great aggregation, and
some of its industries are related to the
tariff question in a way very different
from others. Thus, il steel rails were
put on the free list, it might make very
little difference to the steel trust,
whereas IL the. tin plate tariff were re-
pealed, comparatively new American
jured without any compromising bene-
fit in the long run to the American con-
sumner. These concrete cases, and hun
dreds of others analogous to them,
ought not to be met any longer by re-
publican arguments or democratic argu-
ments. If we could only get rid of ex-
aggerated and uncandid party attitudes
in these matters that affect industry
and commerce, 1t ought not to prove
very difficult to readjust one tariff
schedule after another on strictly
business basis in the light Of all the
facts involved"
There is reason to believe that COM
gress will take this subject up when 1T
meets two months hence, and the rea-
sons for and against such commission
will be fully brought out.

summer the attacks became SO severe that
many nights spent half the time gasp

relief whatever, and felt there was no

Maximum Value of Land.

fNehans Month1y.1
The maximum values of land in the
North Atlantic states We're reached in
1880, and the falling off during the past
decade has been especially marked. In
the south Atlantic and south central
states farm values reached q high mark
II. 1860. The heavy drop of ten years
later reflects the havoc of civil war.
Since that time the trend of values in
these states has been upward. In the
west the values have rapidly advanced.
The only apparent exception is the last
decade. But the lower figures for 1900
are due to the large amount of cheap
land thrown open to the public.

AN INSPECTORS FINE NOSE.
BY Sense of Smell He Found Gov
eminent Thief.


Indianapolis News.
| The report recently received at the
rostoffice department from an inspector
| in the New York district, containing a
detailed account of his successful solu-
ton of Il registered package mystery,
reads more like a detective story than
a business communication from a gov
eminent employe to his chief.
Some time ago Il registered package
sent from the New York Office contain
ing large sum of money was received
at its destination apparently intact. but
on being opened was found to contain
nothing but waste paper A postoftice
inspector detailed to the case made a
thorough investigation, but failed to
discover the thief. The registration of
the package at the various offices thru
which it passed was apparently correct.
and suspicion could not be directed to
any one clerk of the many who had
handled it.
Upon the unsuccessful termination Of
the inspectors investigation it was de-
cided to place upon the case a member
of the inspectors force who had ac-
quired quite q reputation for solving
tangled problems in connection with his
work. He was allowed free REIN. Sew
eral weeks later the thief was arrested
upon information given by the inspec-
tor, and the greater portion of the
money was found in his possession.
The postoffice department officials
were greatly relieved, as, altho a sec
ton of the postal regulations expressly
stipulates that the government is not
liable for more than $40 for the value of
q lost registered letter, this provision
has on more than one occasion been de-
clared invalid by the courts, and the
government, in the event of the nom
recovery of this particular package,
would probably have lost considerable
sum of money.
The report of the inspector relates
that on going over the ground covered
by his predecessor on the case he was
absolutely unable to direct suspicion
toward any one by the usual means. He
had often noticed, however, he says,
that the glue used by the different post
offices invariably has q distinctive odor.
and as he studied over the case 1t came
to him like fiasH that thru this pecul-
lar attribute of postoffice glue he would
discover the thief
He took the registered package which
had arrived at it's destination full of
waste paper, and which, of course, had
been tempered with while en- route,
opened and sealed again, and. softening

tons of steel rails for the year ending
June 80 1908. Orders for 100000 tons
have already been given. 1t is said
that 1,250,00G tons of the 100000 tons
will be required for renewals the re-
mainder being used for extensions. An
other great factor in the iron and steel
dustry. A third is the unprecedented
demand for steel in the building OF
dwellings and factories. The total i'm
ports of iron and steel goods amounted
to $27,1S0,247, as compared with ST.
STA, 7S9 in 1901. This increase is general
turnout the whole list Of articles, but is
largest as regards raw and semi-manu-
featured material.
Notwithstanding the enormous de-
been kept at a reasonable level. This
has been largely due to the United
States Steel Corporation, which firmly
refused to raise it's prices unduly. This
policy has, doubtless, caused prolon-
CATION of the period of great activity,
by encouraging greater consumption.
This great United States Steel Corpor-
alton is said to control Al per cent of
the iron industry of the United States.
Its managers are reported to be en-
ceedingly sensitive to public opinion,
and hence their desire TO keep prices
within bounds. Despite this the great
prosperity of the iron industry enables
this great trust to pay large dividends
on it's enormous capitalization, 81, 400
100000. 1t is able to do this because 1t
not only owns the raw material, but
transportation facilities in the shape of
railroads and lake vessels, as we'll as
foundries and manufactures.
To show the reduction in the price of
iron reference is made to the census re-
turns lust issued. Coexistent with the
phenomenal growth of the iron and
steel industry from 1870 to 1909, there
was a still more wonderful decrease in
the cost to consumers of all iron and
steel products The installation at
modern plants of the latest labor-sav-
ing machinery, the employment of
highly skilled managers and workmen.
and the ever increasing demand for
iron and steel products have all tended
to lower the price of finished material
to consumers. Thirty years ago the aY-
erage price per ton of the 3,263,5S5 tons
of products was $63.49; ten years later,
in 1880, when the production amounted
to 6,4S6.7S3 tons, the average price was
$3.50 per ton; in 1890, when the pro-
duction had grown to 16.264.47S tons, it
was S29.43 per ton; and in 1900 a year
of high prices and of great prosperity,
when the production reached the enor-
nous total of 29,5O7, $50 tons, the aver
age price per ton had fallen to 1925.
less than half the price
prevailing thirty years ago. This in
dustry proves that in periods of pros
perity protected articles come down in
price as the result of competition and
improved facilities.
In a future article some facts about
the localization and extent Of the 669
iron and steel establishments in this
will be given.
