THE RAILROADS AND THE TARIFF.

Railroad authorities have much 10
say these days about the attitude of
the public toward railroads. They
protest that DESPITE the increased cost
OF labor and materials. the roads are
not allowed to raise their rates But
why do they never call attention to
the fact that the "protectiv' tariff
burdens then7
Because OF that tariff, the steel
trust and other steel and iron manu-
facturers charge from SIS to sS4 per
ton for steel rails, which, according
to Mr.. Carnegie and Mr.. Schwab. who
certainly ought to know can be and
arc rolled at SIC per ton. Leaving
wide margin of profit. the railroads
arr paying from $40 10 sic per ton
more for rails than they should or
would pay were there no tariff.
In round figures. the railroads of
the United States buy three and
half million tons of rails, per year.
so that for rails alone they pay am
nually s45,000.OOo moro than they
should. +. j. Burke estimates in
The Public" that taking into CON
siderat!on the Iron and steel pur-
chased by the railroads in the shape
of cars. locomotives. wheels, axles,
trucks, trimming. bridges. structural
material, etc, they are paying from
Si25,ooo,doO to sl6o.OOo.oOO annually
as "A bonus to steel manufacturers.
If the question Is put. Why do the
railroads. which are not benefited by
the tariff. put up with the extortion?
here is the answer. according to Mr..
Burke: "Twenty-thrcc directors OF
the United States Steel Corporation
are in control or on the directories
of ~ per cent. Of the railroad mile
