Tariff Competition

Where the tariff rates balance the diff
ferences in cost of production at home and
abroad, including an allowance for the
difference in freight rates, the tariff must
be competitive, and from that point down.
ward to the lowest tariff that can be
levied will continue to be competitive to a.
greater or less extent where competition
is not interfered with by levying the tax
above the highest competitive point, the
profits of the manufacturer are not pro-
tected.
ION the other hand, when the duties
levied at the customs house are high
enough to allow the American manufac-
turer to make a profit before his COM
petitor can enter the field, we have in
vaded the domain of the protection OF
profits. In the committees judgment the
protection of any profit must of necessity
have a tendency to destroy competition
and create monopoly whether the profit
protected is reasonable or unreasonable.
(Which course is the wiser one for our
government 10 take? The one that de-
mands the protection of profits, the con-
tinued policy of dollhouse growth for our
industries-the stagnation of development
that follows where competition ceases
or on the other hand the gradual reduc-
ton OF our tariff to a basis where the
American manufacturer must meet honest
competition; where ne must develop his
business along the best and most economic
lines: where, when he fights at home to
control his market, he is forging the
way in the economic development of his
business to extend his trade in the mar
kets of the world. The future growth OF
our great Industries lies beyond the
seas"

IRON MINES cuRTAILiNG.
Many Men Out Of Employment Due to
Poor Sales.

ON the older ranges, and where min
ing is conducted principally ON the ulI-
foreground plan, it is not usual to see
any great changes i'm mining forces, but
the present winter is proving an en-
ception to the rule that has been fol-
lowed for some time, says the Iron ore.
There have been decreases at many
properties, Il fact that is causing no
little uneasinsss in the ranks of labor
and business men where these mines
are located.
ON the Meuominec range the Bengal
and Baltic mines have been closed and
the F'oSarty has laid off more than half
It's former force. These are proper
ties operated by the Verona Mining
company, which is the Pickands Math
or people. About 800 men have been
put out of employment by this recent
order. The reason for the reduction is
due to the fact that the ore cannot be
sold. There is no demand for it, and
the company has a considerable tom
mage in stock for which it has no
market.
In Ishpeming the Clcvcland-C Cliffs
company will discontinue the night
shift at its Cleveland Lake mine with
the ending of this month. 1t has been
operating two shifts here for some
time.
The Clev,land- cliffs company has
closed several mines on the Swanzey
range giving attention in ore hosting
to only two. Shaft sinking is proceed
ing at the MaCkinac and Gardner on
that range. The company has large
stocks of ore at its Swanzey properties
for which it has no market. II also has
much unsuld ore i'm stock at other 10
calties and believes it poor policy to
pile up a larger surplus under condi-
tons now prevailing.
The Pittsburg & Lake Angelina COM
pany has let off thirty men from their
Lake Angelne mine In this city. They
give as reason that the mine isn't
looking well, and cannot give place To
the old force, but moro plausible rca-
son can be found in the fact that the
Jones n Laughlin company, which Is
the owner Of the Lake Angelina, has
just let out $500 men from its steel
plants In Pittsburgh.
The dig steel corporation is now OPP
Grating its plants at only 40 per cent
OF their capacity, the dullest period
for - corresponding time. for several
