REASONABLE PROFITS.
Is 1t Necessary to Impose High
Duties to Maintain T-hems

- II NeceHsary TO impose High
Duties to Maintain Themg
From the Philadelphia Record
While obstinately maintaining prices
against home consumers in, a depressed
market. the tariff-buttressed steel trust
has recently underbid European competi-
tors for a large delivery OF steel products
In South Africa, notwithstanding the IN
favorable rates Of ocean transportation.
1t is not denied that this transaction was
at a reasonable proft-for a foreign free
market. The trust has also delivered
black plates to the tin works in Wales
at far lower prices than are extracted
from American consumers behind a pro
tectiye duty Of SIS a ton American con-
sumers az the same time must pay a duty
OF $50 ton on the tinplate to afford the
trust reasonable profit" Yet Il is an
undisputed fact that for cheap production
the steel trust is more favorably situated
than its English and German competitors.
and that its production is cheaper
But with an average protection OF SO
ton and more on its products. the steel
trust has no notion that a Republican
Congress is going TO so revise the tariff
as TO interfere with what its managers
deem a reasonable profit For the So
100000 Of American consumers-an who
ride on rails and all who dwell in houses
in which iron and steel are materials
reasonable profit is such only as may be
earned in an open market with the tariff
barriers thrown down. For the architects
Of Republican platforms a reasonable
profit is merely an empty phrase to de-
ceive the unwary. The manifest conclu-
sion, then. is that there can be no honest
and substantial revision of tariff iniouitv
save by its sworn enemy. the national
Democratic party.

It was sad-faced United States Senate

yesterday and listened 10 the announce

had been only a few days since the Sen

message came.
The death OF Senator Whyte was
freighted with sorrow enough: the va
