WHAT THE TARIFF REVISION
WILL BE.

For one thing. the new tariff Law
will BIO distinctly. unequivocally and
tndeuIably protective. The pledge In.
suring this result Is IN the Republican
national platform. For this platform,
In the largest vote they have ever
cast, the people have tust given u piu.
ralHy Of, 900, and q clear majority
over all other, parties combined Of 49,.
po0.S Free :trsders are wasting breath
1ien they assail the principle Of pro
lection with any thought OF weakening
It or substituting any Of t.lelr nos.
trunn, says the St. Louis Globe DEM
ocfat II there Is in Congress on the
Republican side any free trader he
WAS elected on false pretenses. No
such man could run on Republican
ticket without repudiatins the princi.
pies Of the party as clearly set forth.
and no Republican candidate did that
IN any district in the country. nor
could do Il, without breaking relations
With tie party. The question Of
schedules Is open. but the question of
their protective intent Is as certain
as That the next Congress vii! come
together.
1t Is under the protective policy
that tho price Of steel rails In this
country has been cut down rs pes
cent. ton since 1871. IN that ycsf r
ton Of steel rails cost 500. ny 1855
the protective duty had built up the
American industry and tho price Of
steel rails vent down to $37 q ton,
and further large reduction has oc.
currei. Mr. Carnegie, whose personal
fortune is estimated Mt $3ao.ooo,O 900.
Gays the great Trust with which he Is
identified can now make sufficient
profit on steel without any further
protective duty. But smaller compel.
itors hive not agreed with him. Nor
have wGgeearners. Mr.. Carnegie says
the workers in American steel mills
are more efficient than those abroad
and that this superior value rs work.
men will protect them from harmful
results when they compete. without
protection, with low foreign wnges.
This theory Is INFESTED, It looks like
turning efficiency against those who
possess it Protection will stant: us
long MS the Republican party Is in
power. 7,

We visited your city and Investigate
ed your advantages thoroughly, but
found that In order to fully avail. our.
selves OF the advantages OF your city,
We would have 10 move on q much
larger scale tnan We had originally
planned. You have not q large terri
tory surrounding you which produces
scrap iron in sufficient quantities. fol
our purpose; therefore II is necessary
for us to manufacture all the material
we use, which would make Il necessary
for us to install q blast furnace and
increase our capacity in order to ope.
rate 1t economically.
In building blast furnace, We found
that the most economic way to make
open hearth steel is TO take the iron
hot as It leaves the furnnre and ,our
1t directly into the open hearth fur
mace. To do this. It is necessary 10
build furnaces mucn more elaborate
than originally planned and more cost
~.
In order to use the steel made II is
necessary TO Increase the capacity o.
our finishing mills, and therefore the
proposition as It stands today means
taat the city OF Fairmont would re-
ceire a plant fully twice as big as was
originally proposed 10 your committee.
When your committee called upon I'D
we informed them that we would use
from 700 to LOCO men, while our new
plant Will employ from 1900 to 1.5Oo
men. We told them that our invest
ment would 'oeabout s4'oOo,oW.e0, now
II must be over sS'Goo.00O.0O.
In locating at Fairmont We Will be
compelled to pay premiums to first
class workmen to get them to leave
the positions they now hold and come
vita us. This will cost us far more
than anything you could give us.
