on steel rails is $3.50 per ton, and their

posed duty upon a form Of steel which
sells for $35 per ton is wholly inde-
fensible. Free iron ore Is a very de-
sirable thing, but when the welfare of
the consumer is taken into account I
venture the opinion that it would be
vastly better, If a fair rate can be Sc
cured on but one of those items, to
allow the duty on iron ore to go at

In the lumber schedule, if both rough

they ought to be. the House rate of
81 on rough lumber should be pre-
served and the differential upon dressed
lumber should begin at % cents per
thousand, and not go beyond 60 cents
per thousand. In the paper schedule
the House rate of 50 per ton on print
paper without the possibility of in
creasing it by countervailing duty,
should be rigidly insisted upon

Increases from beginning to end should
be rejected; and while believe there
should be reductions in this schedule
the people might be willing to stand
for the house rate barring, of course

1.-THE wooden schedule, with respect
to the compensatory duties to manu-
facturers, is manifestly wrong; and the
artificial and arbitrary plan of estimat-
ing the relation between unwashed and
secured wool is grossly absurd The
wool grower is sacrificed in order to
give undue protection to the worsted
wool manufacturer. The whole sched-
ule is so indefensible that a readjust-
ment seems imperative, even tho to
accomplish it the conference report be
voted down and the bill brought before
the senate again for amendment.
