Eastern Manufacturer Tell the Ways and Means Committee They Want Free Ore. A AsmxoTe, Dec 90. The first of a series of tariff hearings mapped out by the Heuse committee en ways and means waa had this morning-gentlemen Interested in metals, ores and coal being permitted te give their vlews. Geerge H. Ely, provident or the Western Iren Ore association, spoke In favor of retention of the duty en Iren ere. The duty of 75 cents a ten had been bono beno bone ficent. It had promoted the Iren and steel Interests in the United States In a remark able degree. He believed In the protection of American labor and In keeping up rates or wages te American werklngmen. He did net ask for any Increase of duty, but he earnestly urged rotentlen or the present rate. The duty had eperated te make up pert of the difference between wages at home and abroad. Geerge Teby, orMassachusetts,addressod the commltteo in favor of free Importation or Iren ere and coal. Mr. Ely read a long memorial prepared by New England manufacturers or Iren and steel In support of the position which he advocated; and he contended that the present tariff was prejudicial te the Inter ests of the Atlanlle coast while it discrimi nated In favor of the Western Penn sylvania section. It waa net Just that there should be such a tariff rate as enabled one or two states te kill out the Iren Interests of ethor sections. New Eng land should net be forbidden by tarift laws from enjoying the advantages which her location en the seacoast naturally pre sented her. Who should net be set back in civilization by the Impediment arising from the want of cheap Iren atid steel. Massachusetts asked for cheaper raw ma terial. Her contest was net with England, but with highly protected Pennsylvania. In respense te questions by Mr. Bayue he stated that the abolition of the duty en coal would stimulate work In Canadian coal fields, but he thought thai any bad effect which might result te the coal miners of Pennsylvania would be mere than com pensated by Increased business which would be done by the New England states, V. S. Withorbee, of New Yerk, president of the Eastern Iren association, argued that the chief ebstacle te the development of the New England manufacture wat the almert prohibitory freight rates charged by the New England railroads. Manufacturers' Interest would be best pro tected by keeping a steady duty en the raw material. That duty stimulated the mining Industry. If It was removed capi tal would be Intimidated and he believed that all the mines in his section of the country would be abandoned. ' VISITED BY A CYCLONE.
