REPORTER, |advocste my personal interests on the
floor of Congress except 80 hr us they
. Edite »j%re coincident with the interests of my
constituents and the whole people. 1rep-
sent a district teeming with industries,
the basis and raw material of which is
fron in some form or other. My constit.
uents want cheap iron, therefore, audin
this respect their interests are in harmo-
ny with the wants of the whole people.
The experiences which I have gsined as
an iron master should, therefore, be de-
voted to pointing out how iron may be
| made cheap. If the people think that
|there is an honest effort on the part of
the iron interest to respond to just de-
| mands and to advocate obvious reforms
they will not be disposed to prees for re-
| ductions of duty which would involve
embarrassment to the business or cutting
down of the wages of labor, The people
apderstand that the iron business cannot
exist in this country with wages at their
present level without countervailing du-
ties sufficient to make up for the differ-
ance in the wages paid here and abroad.
But they will object, and very properly,
to the im tion of duties which are
simply prohibitory and which have no
duct whatever in putting up the wages
of labor, but simply add to the cost of
iron to the customers, and produce a loss
to the community for which there is no
sompensation whatever, I therefore urge
spon the representatives of the iron in
erests upon the fluor of the House not
ko seek to raise duties, but diligeutly to
find out overy item which cau be made
free, or upon which duty may be reduc.
ed without injury to business, aod not be
i deceived by aE outary which proceeds
from iron masters who bave works locat-
led in unfavorahle positions, and whose
{final extinction from domestic compeli-
{tion is only a question of time.

VIEW OF IRON MASTERS,
I am aware that the iron masters as a
body do not agree with me ia my views,
bot thev and the gentiemen who repre-
seut them in Cougress are making a mis.
take. They think that we are suffering
from foreign competition, whereas
the depression inthe iron business is
due solely to domestic competition, Lo
caidiies in which iron cannot be made
cheapiy are yielding to the superior ad:
vantages of other regions ia this country
where the conditious of production are
more favorabie. No addition to the tar-
iff can prevent this competition or inter
fere with the inevitable result of driving
inferior concerns out of ex The
process is disagreeable, but it is necessa-
ry and healiby, Cheap food, cheap fuel
