THE members of the Steel Rail As
ISOLATION, in secret session at New York,
last week decided to maintain the price
of SIS 4 ton on steel rails for delivery
in 1905, They are enabled to take this
stand by reason of the protective tariff.
This is clearly shown by letter written
last week by Congressman Baker, Of
New York, to a Philadelphia concern in
which he says:
am in receipt of the printed sheet
headed The Wool Situation" which
YOU sent me, and on which you have
stamped: stand pat, revise tariff only
when schedules can be proven unjust"
As American steel rails have been for at
least two years and are now being sold
in England, Canada, Egypt, Syria and
elsewhere at from 81 to IS ton less
than they are sold by the same manu-
factuTers to American users. and as
Charles NJ. Schwab has asserted that
English manufacturers cannot produce
steel rails at less than $40 a ton, as
against a cost of $l2 in the United
states. would ask whether you consider
the tariff OF 1874 ton an unjust tax?
And whether you will join in move
ment to put steel rails on the free list
Or will you refuse 10 do this, fearing
that if the tariff on steel is removed it
may lead to a reduction if not removal
of the tariff on woolens?

yesterday morning by her husband, Mr.
Elias Sauble. Magistrate Samuel Brown

year-old daughter OF Harlan White, was
