AMERICANS HURT
 BY HIGH TARIFF

New York October 21.-That the American working man is .sO per cent worse off since the Dingley tariff bill was passed" was the declaration of Governor Claude A. Swanson of Vir- ginia. in an address before the Com mercial Travellers league here today.
 T was in Congress when that bill was enacted" said Governor Swanson and 1 predicted then that if it were allowed to continue in force, 1t would produce a panic. That prediction has come true and the republican party does not dare come out in this cam paign and champion that creation of II years ago. Since that law was en- acted, the cost of living has increased 49 per cent, while the wages of work ing men have increased only 19 per cent. The working men, therefore. Is 30 per cent worse off now since this bill was passed"
 Governor Swanson said the position the democfatic party has taken is that a man sh hould be taxed on what he has, not on what he needs. As an illustra- tion of what he termed the unfair way in which the Dingley tariff operates against the poor man he said that while raw silk Is admitted free of duty, wool is taxed while rare woods are admitted free, pine is taxed, and while cham pa gne pays no duty there is a tax on butter.
 He said all the trusts have been or ganized under the Dingley law, and said
 You can destroy all the trusts if you repeal the Dingley tariff
 Governor Swanson said from one-third to one-half of the money of the coun- try is collected in taxes and dissipated by extravagant political administra- tions.
 President Roosevelt has created 9s,- 316 new officeholders, he said, more than Napolean had at Marongo or Aus terlitz, more than the allies had at Waterloo. Why, if Roosevelt was al- lowed to continue there would be an officeholder on the back of every voter in the country and you would have to pay this freight"

Iron Age Review.

New York, October 21.-The Iron Age will say tomorrow:
 While there is still good deal of hesitation in covering early requirements. more business has been done than gen erally expected. There have been some large transactions in basic pig in Pitts burg district for prompt delivery and a contract has also been closed for the supply, at the rate of 5000 tons a month for five years, of basic pig, to a steel plant recently completed. A moderate amount of business has been done in the east in basic iron, where quotations below SIS have been withdrawn. Pur- chases of southern basic pig have also been recently made on quite a liberal scale for the St. Louis district.
 Upward of 10000 tons of low phosphorus pig have been sold recently to steel makers and to steel casting plants, for this years delivery at $20.
 Aside from a few larger transactions founders are not contracting for much iron; in fact, in some distributing cen ters inquiries have been temporarily withdrawn.
 Southern makers are maintaining their firm attitude to prices The wire indus tries continue the conspicuous exception to the general rule that sales are below the normal
 The St. Paul road has made arrange ments for the building of 2500 additional freight cars. which will require about 1000 tons of material, which will probably be placed at once. The better demand from the cars building shops has also stimulated some buying of charcoal pig iron and some fair business has been placed.
 For the lake boat to be built for Cleve- land interests at the Toledo yard the ma terial, 1SOOOO tons of plates and shapes, has been ordered.
 It has developed that inquiries for large quantities of cast iron pipe arising in New Jersey are not serious. The soil pipemakers have held a meeting and are aiming at an advance in prices of per cent

RAILROADS IN THE MARKET

Cleveland October 21.-fSpecial)-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 Some increase in buying of structural material by railroads and other interests, an unusual transaction in pig iron, and the promise of early ordering of steel rails and equipment by the Pennsylvania railroad have tended to relieve the mo- notony of an otherwise dull situation. The Pittsburg Steel company, which has been endeavoring for some time to pro- vide for it's large requirements of basic pig iron has made a contract covering a fve-year period. calling for about S5O0OO. of Canton, O., has purchased from 5000 to 12000 tons of basic. A large enamellng concern has purchased 10,000 tons of basic for delivery at it's Illinois plant, 200o tons of basic have been sold at Philadelphia. A Columbus, O., concern has purchased $500 tons of malleable and charcoal iron.
 The Chicago and Northwestern is in the market for 24,0O0 tons of structural ma terial for track elevation work in St. Paul with the Bettendorf Axle company for the steel underframes. The Betten- dorf company will require 22.oO0 tons of structural steel for car work recently taken. Other railroad orders include 4OOO tons for viaduct at Denver, 5000 tons for bridge work awarded by the New York Central to the Fort Pitt Bridge company, 400O tons for a bridge across the Mis- sissippi awarded to the Marshall Construction company The Illinois Cen tral railroad will take for prompt ship ment 26,OOO tons of steel rails, on which shipment had been delayed. Including the railroad work about 65,OOO tons of struc- tural steel will soon be contracted for in Chicago.
 Among orders placed within few days were 52,O0O tons for the Ritz Carlton hotel, New York city, and 5000 tons for the Emigrant Savings bank, New York.
