|, steel tariff Is of course the main
point of discussion and Mr., Cane-
GIGS frank statements wi lldoubtless
do much towards lowering the steel
schedules, which have always been
considered the keystone of the pro.
tectice arch. And yet United States
Steel securities, which are scattered
among 10000 stockholders, showed
no greater declines than other active
shares, and fell less than point on
the day of Mr.. Carnegie's most dar
ing statements. Evidently, as stated
in these advices seceral weeks ago,
tariff revision is not going to be very
harmful to business interests be-
cause the tariff is in the han Is of
its friends, our industries are in bet
ter position to meet a cut tnGn ever
in our history, and there are many
lines of manufacture that would be
positively stimulated by lower duties.
The worst that can happen is uncer-
tainty and delay, which compicate
calculations entering into the future.
If any depression comes as the result
of tariff agitation it will be mainly
from this source; hence it behoove
congress to give the country prompt
ana equitable revision,
The year draws to close with a
hopeful but sober spirit pervading
all business circles Conditions,
though in happy contrast with a year
ago, are not entirely satisfactory,
