sion itself reports unanimously that the
relative decline of the iron and steel in

disadvantages or want of skill and en-
terprise on the part OF either of British
manufacturers or workmen. hut is due
t" the fact that their competitors in the

The value TO labor and to the indus

During the last eight years the Brit
ish newspapers have been forced to dole
.ully notice a continnea succession of
American industrial triumphs over Great
Britain. Now it is al American firm
that gets the contract 10 build the great
Athara bridge across the Nile in upper
Egypt. Now it is an American loco
motive that supersedes the British loco
motive on leading English railroad.
Now it is an American electrical com
pany that gets all the orders for the cleo
trical equipment for the great aew Lon
don underground railroad system. And
thus episodes of American commercial
conquest during the last eight years
could he repeated nrtil they would grow
wearsome TO read. The, continued tri-
umphs of the United States in the steel
and iron trade. at the same time that
this industry in Great Britain has been
in process of decline. led to the creation
recently of British Commission OF bust

that had prevailed in the money market.

CURED enormous consumption Of iron and
steel. But the increasing ability of the
country to buy more iron and steel was
met by increasing necessity for larger
consumption. The railroads suffered
from car shortages because they could
not buy new cars fast enough to keep
pace with the increasing business that
came to them. In almost every ine
OF industry the calls in the iron aud steel
Industry for material increased so rap
idly that il was a difficult matter for
the iron and steel manufacturers to hire
new men fast enough for the additional
work TO be done. and TO otherwise keep
up with enormously increasing eonsump-
ton. But the Republican policy of pro-
lection not only operated by its general
business effects, to stimulate the ncreas-
ing consumption, but also to force the
increasing consumption to be met. not
by larger foreign imports of iron and
steel, giving more work for the foreign
ers to do. but by increasing domestic
production, giving more work for Amer
lean laboringmen to do at continuously
increasing wages.
Consun ptiou and Production.
Here are the figures as to how both
consumption and production OF pig iron
almost trebled between the Democratic
year 1894. through the NJ .linley and
Roosevelt administrations. up to the year
1904.
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1904-09-23

The iron and steel industry is often
referred to as tae barometer of gen
eral business" Ii reflects conditions OF
depression or prosperity throughout the
country in remarkably sensitive way
for there is no business nor industry
Ia the country which does not share
closely in the various conditions which
make steel either king or ''psuper."
and. as Andrew Carnegie once said,
"steel is always either king or pauper"
When times were hard. as during the
period of tie last Democratic admins
tration. 1893 1896. there was indeed an
open door into the palace of King Steel
for the wolf Of poverty to enter and
make Steel a Pauper.l
II was shown then that when panic
and depression visit the country. steei
feels the effects the most sharply ;nd
the most quickly Of almost any com

THE RESULT OF DEMOCRATIC
POLICIES WAS NOT ONLY TO
HEAVILY CURTAIL TIE AMERI-
CAN CONSUMPTION OF IRON AND
STEEL. BUT TO GIVE AN OPEN
DOOR TO THE FOREIGNER TO
SUPPLY WHAT DEMAND THERE
WAS LEFT. In two years. from 1892
to 1884. represented by the change from
Republican to Democratic rule. the pro-
duction of pig iron in the United States
dropped from 9,157,000 tons to 6,651 ,:}Ss
tons.
The financial depression that existed
through the Cleveland ADMINISTRATION
made it difficult for railroads TO float
the issues of bonds that were needed t.
raise money for new rails. bridges. cnrs
and other equipment involving large
consumption OF iron and steei. The same
was true of the building trqics. aud
