THE EVENING DAILY' .TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNE3DA1, JANUARY 12, 1870, 4OUR 51TI0NALIXl)iaTUIES. - Unerrfc. f Jariaw KelWv In the liana of Kr-;-prcaeMtittlTra A Complete Herniation or me Hnerloiia Thrortr of 'miiililner Weil. ' Mr. KK1.LHY addrewotl the committee at length. We give some of the leading points of lit very able trprech: Tha report of David A. "W611, Esq., Special Cora rolssloner of Kevenue, abounds In propositions In imical to tho beat interests oi' tbe country, which if adopted by Congress will compel us to occupy a subordinate position among nation, though our population mar equal that of all Kurope, as Our territory already does that of the whole family of Knropean Towers. As an expression of the opinions Of Mr. Wells this paper can do but little barm; bat It circulation in uiope, under the sanction of Von lire, will Impair our credit and arrest tho tide of emigration now flowing In upon us in unprece dented volume It demonstrates to tho satiHfaotlon Of Mr. Wells' admirers and clients that, thougli-our 'wealth Increased during tbo last decade one hun dred aud twenty-Blx per cent., Us utmost Increase during this decade can be but sixty-live and eight hundredths per cent.; and that Instead of the census of ltfTO showing as it is universally conceded it 'will largely over forty-three thousand million dol lars, the grand total can by no possibility be ovor $23, 400, 000,000. i One of the processes by which Mr. Wells sustains his theory, though not wanting In Ingenuity, is very simple. It is to assume that everything is now worth from thirty-five to thirty-nine per cent, less than It was at the time with which he proposes his comparison. We know that wheat ana flour, and every variety of ootton and woolen goods, are cheaper now than they were in 18G0. But Mr. ('Wells' theory is that, as there is a difference In the market value of gold and greenbacks, commodities fit domestic pro Juction ought to be dearer. The prominent characteristics of Mr. Wells' re .port are audacity and advocacy of the Interests of Jnglandand her American colonies. That it is in genious and plausible cannot be denied, but that it Is so does not in my Judgment furnish proof of the Commissioner's ability, or evidence of his posses sion of. well-gronnded convlotions on Industrial questions. Indeed, the facts that many of the sug gestions which are most earnestly pressed contra vene those embodied in his former reports, and his avowal that, in ollering them, "he has placed him self in antagonism to many with whom he was for merly in close agreement' ail'ord ample ground for doubt on both points. ' Tbe most audacious of Mr. Wells' assertions, and one that pervades the whole report, is that customs duties are always a tax on the con-umer, increasing the price of the imported article on which they are levied and enabling the home producer to realize undue profits by keeping production steadily below the current demand for the commodity he produces. Were Mr. Wells a tyro, and this report his first publication, charity would deem this a blunder and ascribe it to ignorance: but he Is a man of large experience, and has written much; and reference to any of the publications which led to his appoint ment to the conimissionership, or to his preoedlng reports, will convict him of basing this oillclal pa per on a principle the falsity of which he has time nd again abundantly established. , I propose to illustrate the treachery of the Com missioner by briefly referring to tbe effect of high protective duties on Bessemer steel rails. In 1W5 there was no establishment in the United States for the manufacture of such rails. The lowest price at which an American company could buy them in Kngland was flHftO per ton, cash, gold, including freight to New York or Philadelphia. The duty was then, as now, an ad valorem duty of forty-live per cent., which at that price was equivalent to about three cents per pound. Gold was then about 200, and each ton of rails had cost when on the wharf in Philadelphia 8390, currency. Our coun try abounds in materials from which to make not only Bessemer rails, but every quality of steel, and the wages paid to American workmen are high -enough to tempt skilled workmen from England and German v. - In view of' these facts, several enterprising rail- toad men determined to establish "Bessemer rail works. At length the Freedom Works, at Harrls tmrg, Pennsylvania, so called in commemoration of our partial enfranchisement from the grasp of foreign monopolists, were ready to take orders, and another establishment for their production : iras erecting at Troy, New York, when lo! the same ' English manufacturers, who had been nnable to sell at less than $160 per ton, canvassed our mar ket to find buyers at 130. In less than three yea competition has brought the price of Bessemer rails down so rapidly that orders are now taken In England at eleven pounds sterling, or about afty five dollars, deliverable at Liverpool or Hull. ' Mean wbilo the mills for their production at Troy, New York, and others at Chester. Pennsylvania, Cleveland, Ohio, and Detroit, Michigan, have been completed, and the plans have been adopted for others at Mott Haven, New York; Pittsburg, Johns town and Bethlehem, Pennsylvania; Baltimore, Cincinnati and St. Louis; but their construction awaits and is dependent on the action of Congress on the tariff. These facts are known to Mr. Wells, yet he endeavors to persuade the country that a protective duty is always a tax on the cousumer, and labors to Induce Congress to reduce a duty which was at the rate of three cents to one and a half cent per pound; a change which he well knows would close all our Bessemer rail works and restore to his English friends the monopoly of our market. What can have brought him to such a conclusion? What is to be his reward for such a consumma tion? - For nearly a quarter of a century our duties on cast-steel have been assessed upon the value of the commodity, or ad valorem, anil reoent investiga tion by an agent of the government has shown that fthrnnohnnt the whole of the nerlod the steel-makera of Sheffield have been defrauding the government i The Buemeid steel-makers are men or weaitn nd social position, and this dlsoovery of their long continued and systematic fraud upon our govern-, ment has not been a pleasant thing for them. They admit that steel has been invoiced to the United States at lower rates than those at which they sell in Kngland or to the people of tbe continent, but assert that, low as the invoice prices are, they are the prices at which they sell in this country. They say and their letters are on tile in the -Treasury Department, and their agents have ap peared there to enforce the statement that our market is essential to the maintenance of their rorks, and that such is the competition they en counter from our steel-makers that they are forced to sell to us at lower rates than they do to the Eng lish or any other people. The draft of a bill providing a scale of duties On steel was prepared, as I am informed and verily believe, by or in consultation with a member of one of the leading hrms of steel-makers of Shef field, and sent over to a gentleman specially con nected with legislation on financial subjects. -It furnished Mr. Weill his schedule: and, that gentlemen may see bow completely he has adopted ft, how entirely his views on this important subject -are in aocord with those of the steel monopolists of England, whose interest it is to hold us In commer cial aud maritime dependence, I will ask the re porters to put tbe two schedules in parallel columns. -It Is, perhaps, due to Mr. Wells, in this -connection, that 1 should mention tha fact that he - so far exercised his own Judgment in making this recommendation as to modify two or three unim- ' portant rates, and to change the order from that in ' which the items stand in the bill. And it will be further notioed that where the Slightest departure in rate occurs in any one item, as is the case in two or three unimportant instances, it is immediately compensated for in the next item by a corresponding change the other way. Thus Air. wells is more generous to nis countrymen in the matter of Bessemer rails than their Sheffield rival would be. He proposes to kill them instantly ty putting the rate at one cent a pound; while Mr. - Wells is willing to give them breathing time, in which to put their houses in order, by letting them die slowly at one and a half cent. And in the next Item the Englishman proves the more generous: for he propones two and. a half cents on all steel and manufactures of steel not provided for, and Mr, Wells would crush his countrymen Instantly by making the duty on those articles but two cents. Wells applies bis assumption that a protective duty is necessarily a tax on the consumer to pig iron, and by the plausibility of his argument would make innocent and inexporlenced people believe that be really hoped to secure cheap pig Iron by reducing the duty on that article from nine dollars ton to three dollars. Could he close our steel - works, as the acceptance of tbe Sheffield schedule recommended by him would do in three months, and arrest the progress we are making in the in creased production of pig Iron, he would do more to retard the progress of this country toward com mercial prosperity and national supremacy than Davis, Lee. and all the heads of tho rebellion ac complished. I cannot conceive the single cause that would do more to depress and Impoverish our people and retard the growth of our country than the sudden prostration of these great Interests, at a time wheu the English or continental manufao- . turer will purchase none of our grain for which he ' has to pay a penny in advance of the price for which he can buy from the peasants of Austria and Russia. i But this recommendation with reference to pig .Iron is consistent with the rest of the report, throughout which the desire is manitest to make 1 the United States as commercially dependent on ' and tributary to England as though they were till fiai t of her North American colonies. He cites pig ron, coal, salt and lumber as illustrations of a olasa of cases where excessive and unnecessary duties have been imposed and maintained, "with a view of enhancing the cost of articles indispensable to jnany other branches of production." The present duty on plgtiou was iinnoed for two purposes, both 1 of which were patriotic. The brut was to raise addi tional revenue, aud the other to stimulate the con. T9tiou of ore., coal and limestone, of which in a.hiont every part of the country we have ln i hanstible supplies, into a material tho liicreansd production or which was a prerequisite to tha gen eral extension of our tnduHtrtrt and the mainten ance or the dignity snd rights of the nation, which were then being violated by the armed oruisors of the country to which we looked for a supply of pig lion and Bessemer rails. And, sir, I am bappv in being able to show that It has accomplished b'th there objects, and that if permitted to stand for live yesrs, it will, while contributing largely to the re duction of our debt. Insure us not only a home Mipply of pig Iron, but such ample means of pro ducing It as will enable us to entor the markets of tbe world In competition with England. What has It done as a revenue measure? During th. year that ended on the 30th of Juno, 18tiS, we derived from this duty 1,011, 100 90; In the succeed ing year, closing on the 30th of June. fH,iiif),7(i2 OS, and in the current fiscal year will give us a still larger income, without in the slightest de gree impairing the revenue derived from our con sumption of foreign iron in more advanood condi tion. The Commissioner raises no question as to the relative quality of British and American iron, and does not, as I remember, state the quantity of our annual production. He places tbe annual product for 1M9 at 1,725,000 tons, or Just about 175,000 tons below tho ascertained production of that year. That the average quality of American pig, bar and railroad iron Is superior to the average of tho same descriptions of English Iron is an almost unl-vorsally-conccdcd fact; but to blaaon this to the world would not serve the interest of tbe Commis sioner's British friends. But though his report abounds In hypotheses and calculations, based on estimates and suppositions, be nowhere tells or attempts to tell us what we would have been made to pay tbe British iron master for his Inferior pig, bar, sheet and rails if the American production of pig iron had not been more than doubled since tbe establishment of this duty, and if tho manufacture of cast steel and Bessemer rails bad not also been established at so many points within our limits. He Is not Ignorant of the fact that in little more than a year past sixty-five new blast furnaces have been erected, and that they are to employ a portion of the people of fifteen States. These furnaces have increased our productive power to nearly two million live hundred thousand tons per annum. Arrangements are also making for the erection of more than fifty other furnaces during the year upon which we have just entered, many of which have been commenced. The estimated product of pig Iron for this year is two million two hundred and twenty-five thousand tons, or about fifty per cent, of the annual average production of Great Britain. Thus it appears that, with a production of less than ten million tons for the world's supply, no other country than ours is In a position to make a large ana immediate addition to its annual production. The difficulties in tbe way may be briefly stated thus: Swedon possesses exhaustless supplies of the richest primitive ores, but she has tio coal, and her annual production of charcoal iron is believed to have reached its limit. Her function will henceforth be to mine and export ore. Kussla has ample supplies of ore, but. so far as exploration has yet discovered, is deficient in coal. She can, however, for some time somewhat augment her production of charcoal-iron. Austria, Italy, Spain and the States of the Zollvereln have ore, but little or no coal available for iron-making, and are unable to extend, if they can main tain, their present production of charcoal-iron. France has neither coal nor ore sufficient to supply her wants. England furnishes hor with one-third the coal she now consumes In the manu facture of iron. Little Belgium has both coal and ore, and they are advantageously situated, but the field is so contracted that she cannot Increase her production beyond her own wants, and Prussia la a large importer of coal and pig Iron from England. So much for prospective increase of supplies; while, as illustrative of the growing demand, I need only allude to the gigantic systems of rail roads building in Russia and India, the latter at immense cost by England, in tbe hope of impairing our supremacy as producers of ootton. Had we continued to rely upon England for pig iron in excess of our capacity to produce it, at the time ef fixing nine dollars as the duty, and also to draw our supplies of cast steel and Bessemer rails from her, the extension of our railroad system must have been cheoked, and the por capita con sumption of iron in this country been much re stricted. For nine years before the Imposition of that duty our annnal production had been less than 800,000 tons, and that of England had not increased at the rate of 100,000 tons per annum. Our demand increases at the rate ot from 170,000 to 200,000 tons per annum. Whence but from our own ore beds and coal mines could the supply have been drawn? Was there any charm by which an lnoreased sup ply could be evoked? Yes, Mr. Chairman, there was one. and that was applied. It was such a duty as would give capitalists and men of enterprise a guarantee that if they paid workmen fair Ameri can wages for building furnaces, digging and haul ing coal, ore and limestone, and converting them Into pig Iron, they should not be undersold in our own markets by the production of underpaid Brit ish workmen. England has attained her maximum production; while her increase since 1KG3 has been scarcely appreciable, ours has increased about one hundred and ten per cent. In view of all these facts I think that it appears again in the matter of pig iron, as it did in that of oast steel and Bessemer rails, that a protective duty has not been, as Mr. Wells asserts, a tax on, but a boon to the American consumer. I have said that the report is devoted to the pro motion of the interests or England and her North American colonies, and have, I think, shown that if its suggestions were carried into effect it would arrest the rapid inorease we are making in the pro duction of iron and steel, and remand us to com mercial and political dependence on our haughty and faithless rival. I propose now to illustrate Mr. Wells' palpable' desire to promote t a interests of England's North American colonies the New Dominion, that asylum of our foes in war and base of illicit operations against our revenue system in peace. Taking the leading staples of the pro vinces sonaratolv. he submits specious but false reasons for the removal of all duties from each of them. - The principle articles the provinces export are lumber, woof, coal, barley, and other cereals; and from these he would remove all duties, though they yielded during the year which ended June 30, 1808, 4,362,770 49 in gold, or about six millions in cur rency. It is true some of the wool which contribu ted to this amount came from other countries, and some of the coal from England; but in order to re store prosperity to the trade of the provinces he wouldf admit their staples free, even though other countries might share the advantage. Though very urgent that the duty should be taken off Canadian barley, he makes no specific re commendation as to the removal of duties from the other cereals. He merelv speaks of the "extreme emergency" that can "Justify a tax on the bread- fctons ami loouoi a nauon. . Mr. Kellev here entered into an elaborate argu ment to show that Mr. Wells' statements and con clusions on tbe subject or the duty on ooai are iai lacious and untrustworthy. He concluded as fol lows Mr. chairman, permit me to reiterate the fact that duties which serve to develop the resources of a country and cheapen commodities, by inducing home competition, the diversification of labor and the opening of new sources of employment, and in crease tbe general stock produced, are not taxes, even though they fail to reduce immediately the nrlce of the commodity on which they are Im posed, as adequate dunes on casc-siuei auu iienae ruer rails have done. They are during the interim the priee paid for establishing the commercial and political independence of the country, or may rather be regarded as a temporary advance, to be ridmbnrsed in the near future bv producing a sense of national security, a wider field of profitable em ployment for the people at large, and an adequate and cheaper supply of better goods through the long luture. But such Is not the case with all duties. There are duties that are taxes and must remain so for ever, or into that far future whose possibilities we cannot foresee. Such are duties imposed on com modities which we do not and cannot produce, but which enter into the daily life of the people, either directly as food, or as the raw material of articles we are producing in competition with countries whose laborers receive not a moiety of the wages paid for the same work in this country, ana whicn are necessary for the support of a family whose children are to be educated for future citizenship. We raise no tea or cottee, and the duty of twenty five cents a pound on tea, which is at the rate of seventy-eight and a half per cent, on the cost of our whole importation for 1808, and o five cents a Iionndon collee, or at the rate of forty-seven and a lalf per cent, on the importation of 1K68, are taxes, purely and simply taxes. Yet the Commissioner does not propose to repeal or abate these, aud why should he? Neither England nor her North Ame rican colonies produce tea or collee. Not only does he not propose to repeal these taxes now, but in his "schedule of a tar ill' constructed with a view of obtaining from the smallest number of Imported articles an annual revenue or 150,000,000" he re-l tains them both, and proKses to raise t'22,000,000 a year from them namely, 1)12,000,000 from cott'eo and HO.000,000 from tea. We now impose a duty of fifteen cents a pound on pepper. A we grow no pepper, this Is a tax a tax at the rate of two hundred and ninety-seven per cent, on the entire Importation for 18ti8, and which extracted from the people in that year 702, 4!M) 45. The like duty on alsplce is a tax. It is at the rate of three hundred and seventy six and a half per cent., and drew from the people In 1308 H2, 081 no. These duties and many scores of such that 1 could Indicate are all taxes, as they stimulate no industry, but tax tbe food of the laborer; but they do not uibve the sympathies of the Commissioner. He does not propose to repeal tueiu.lor the articles they burden are not produced in England or her North American colonies. They were Imposed a revenue measures during a great war, and have been cheerfully endured by a patrlotio people; but they increase the cost of living, operate as a bur den on our laboring people, and should be repealed at the earliest day the financial condition of the country will permit. Mr. Chairman, there are other taxes, of some of which the people Justly complain taxes that bur den oor labor, consume the profits of capital, and paral? r.e the energy of the most enterprising among us. They add to the cost of our gas and of our tra vel, whether by railroad, stage or steamboat. We cannot draw our own money from bank or make a payment to our credi or without feeling them. They touch and prick us at all points. Their en forcement requires the maintenance of a speoial department of the government, tha agents of which 1enetrate inqulsllorially every home and workshop n the land. They Increase the cost of all our productions and restrict the limits of our com merce by sbnttlng our overtaxed goods out of markets in which but for them we might compete with our foreign rivals. They, too, were the product of tbe war. The necessities In which It Involved us gave rise to the system of internal taxes, with its Commissioner, assessors, collectors, supervisors, detectives and thousands of subordinates; and sound policy requires that those duties which, while they protect the wages of the laboring man and develop the resources of the country, supply the Treasury with large amounts of revenue, should be retained, and that those direct and inquisitorial taxes which so oppress and annoy us should be re moved as rapidly as possible. The repeal of these would animate all our Industries; but the repeal of the duties recommended by the Commissioner would flood our country with the productions of the underpaid laborers of Europe, silence countless looms and spindles, close our factories, extinguish the tires in our furnaces and rolling mills, and leave the grain of the husbandmen, for which there Is now no market in Europe, to rot in the field or granary, while their countrymen and former cus tomers starve. However ardently Mr. Commls. sloner Wells may desire this consummation, I trust that Congress, by protecting the wages of the Ame rlcan laborer, will forever avert It. . RAILROAD LINE8.
