THE TARIFF ON IRON
REDUCTIONS ARE PROPOSED BY
 BABCoCK.
The Wisconsin Congressman Says the Object of His Measure is to Take Away Privilege
 of Extortion.

Washington, Jan. H.-Representative Babcock of Wisconsin today introduced a bill placing a number of articles Of the iron and steel schedule on the free list and materially reducing the duties on other articles throughout the iron and steel schedule. The articles placed on the free list are the heavy products or the furnace, while the rates on other articles of the schedule average about one-half the present rates.
 Mir. Babcock made the following state ment summarizing the measure: The bill introduce affects only the iron and steel schedule of the Dingley act; 1t is an effort to maintain the theory of pro- tection in accordance with the best rep resentation of traditions and to prevent the party from becoming responsible by non action for schedules that have been outgrown by changed conditions of finance made use of by combinations to extort unreasonable prices from domes' tic consumers. ,
 .The bill represents the views of many intelligent men who are themselves in' terested in the iron and steel industry and who are experts in all matters touch ing this subject. have placed the heavy products of the furnace on the free list, such as iron and steel in slabs blooms, loops. beams. girders and all structural iron or steel boiler and shiI plates, steel rails, steel ingots. stee billets and bars.
 / .'The steel and iron schedule is very complicated, and the placing of these ar ticles on the free list required the read justment of nearly all of the paragraphs in Schedule c. After numerous confer ences with iron and steel manufacturers. these paragraphs have been amended upon strictly protective lines: that is, each article Is given full protection as compared with the cost of production in other countries, which still leaves a margin in our favor. For instance, tin Is quoted f. O. b. in England at $3.00 per box. the price in Pittsburg is s4.00 have re- duced the Dingley rates from $l.bO to H. H.0O which would equalize the price and leave the foreigner to pay the cost o1 transportation and insurance in order to sell tin in this market.
 "It does away in certain paragraphs with the high rates which were neces- sary a few years ago and brings the schedules into line with the changed con' ditions.
 q have been especially careful not to reduce a schedule where labor was the greatest part of the cost of the article, and there is no single item in the entire bill, whether it provides that the article shall go on the free list or whether Il remains on the dutiable list. that will ir any way affect labor.
 "The whole bill Is in line with the Rs. publican protective policy, as advocated in the national platforms and by its great champion. the late President Nc Kinley. It affords ample and full pro lection where 1t is necessary and places on the free list those articles that art produced here cheaper than they can b' in foreign countries"

Jan. 14.-Representative Cooper, chairman of the House Commit tee on Insular Affairs and author of the bill establishing Q civil government in the Philippines, today made a statement re- garding his plan of self-government of the islands. He said: "It has been sug- gested in opposition to the provision in the House bill to establish civil govern ment in the Philippines to begin January 1. 1904, that 1t is unwise to attempt to pass law to take effect two years from now.
