THURSDAY EVENING, DEC. 1, 1881. Steel Rail Steal. Mr. Monre I'eints Out a "Tarill Iiiiquilj." In a letter te tbe Aincrican Iren and Steel association Mr. J. S. Moere, the ex perienced writer en the taiiu question, says: The tax en the bteel tails ib exactly $28 per ten. I cannot de better than lay before you an extract from Mr. David A. Wells's letter te tbe Iowa Stale Leader, printed Nev. 5, exposing the enormity of this iniquitous "steel rail klcpte, " Mr. Wells says : "And bow much decb the tax at present amount te annually? Let us see. The domestic production of steel rails for the year 1SS0 was 954, 4C0 net tens ; the impottatiens were 158,20 tens, indicating n domestic consumption for the year el" 1,112,090 tens. The average price of the American product for the year 1880 was $07.50. The average pi ices of Bessemer rails in Great Britain ler the same period wcie be tween t'C and 7, or fiem u0 te ijy.j. It is, thcicfeic, clear that the full pound of Hush $28 per ten which the tarill allows was taken en all the Bessemer steel rails bought and used in the United States dining the year 18S0, and that this inclement of price in eon sequence which was a tax u domestic consumption amounted in the aggicgatc te $31,155,320. Thiityetie mil liens of dollars! Iruly a big sum! A sum se large that the mind is unable te take its mcasuic except by instituting comparisons, or (hiding out hew much the same number of dollars will buy of some ether commodities. Let us, thciufme, as a help te mental couiprcliciiMeu, insitute seme of these tests or comparisons. TIiu-s, if a mau wcie te attempt te count this sum at the rate of a dollar a second, it would take him mere than a year, wet Ic ing 24 bems a day, or moie than two yea is at 12 hours a day te de it. It reptc sents mere than three times the eulin.uy expenses of the fedcial government in the year 1800; and meic than half the eidi naiy cxpcudituies of the government dur ing the last year of Buchanan's adminis adminis tiatieii' This expose, staitliug as it is, would be incomplete if net a still mete .serious charge wcie made agaim-t the 11 steel rail monopolies. Mr. Wells gees en in his aiticluaud says: "Let us still tuiu another leaf in this curious histety of the American Bes semer steel monopoly. Hcictofeio it h.is been found impracticable te make Bcst mcr steel of iien pieduccd fiem ere con taining sulphur or phospbeius in appie appie ci.ible quantities, and as most English and American ores of iron contain the.se .siil -stances, the supply of piepcr iienha:; been a somewhat exiicusive and tioublesenii; mailer te both BuglNh and American Bes semer steel makcis. Within a vciy iceei t period, however, a method Known as ! lie i 'Gilchrist-Themas pieccss ' has been tin; i covered iu England, wheieby, at .small cxjicnse, any oieef ion can be used ler the manufacture of Bessemer steel, and the patent light te its exclusive use iu the United States has been aKe puicbased by the American Bessemer steel associa tion. According te the last lcpeit of the American lien and Steel association (July, 18S1), this new pieccss 'has been success fully adopted iu ncaily all the. steel-making count lies of Europe,' and 'that England thus adds another te the list of her important in ventions allectiug the maituf.ictute of iron and steel.' But the United State", alone of all the steel-making countries iu the weild, has net yet adopted this gtcat im im pievemcut and apparently will net fei the piescnt. Fer it is well understood that the ' eleven associates' who own the pat ents for the 'Themas-Gilchrist jmeclss iu the United States, de net find it ler their iutcicst, with the piescnt latie of piefits en the manufactuie of Bessemer steel, te adept any innovations, and that they further de net piopese te i&uc licenses te anybody else te use it, for any loyally which it would be possible te pay And thus in the name of piotcctieti te Ameri can industry, the march of impievcincnt and tbe cheapening of a gieat necessity of civilization aic arrested.9' Tlicre is ene native product centiectLil with the stcel rail pioduetieu that needs no protection, and that is the unlimited pioductien of " misstatements." In an article printed this morning in a daily paper, aud evidently written by a steel I lail monopolist iu answer te the Wells ar ' ticle cited above, 1 lum the tollewmg : " But a ceuuter calculation might be made which is quite as fair aud convincing as Mr. Wells's little sum. The price of steel rails in 1880 was about $100 less per ten than i t was before the taiilf en steel permitted American competition, and. therefore (logic is logic !) $100 was saved en every one of the 1,112,C90 ten-; used during'.the year, amounting toagre'-s gain of $111,209,000. New, a slew euumeiater could consume a long life time in counting all thes3 dellais, and if they wcie conveit cenveit cd into tobacco they would make a strip of Gravely plug which would icach from Connecticut te the moon." New the highest price for steel rails- was, I believe, in 1871-2, when it went up for a short time te .'20 per ten iu England. But after tbe German speculation mania, after the war, was ever, the price went down te .47 a ten in 1873-4, wlicicas, in 1809-70 the price in England was en an average less than $80 a ten ; in fact it sold in 1871 at 12 a ten. I suppose it would be useless te ask tbe laiheal managers new a ten of rails' was cheapened $100 since the tariiT. Steel rail monopolists may wince at Mr. Wells's attack, but they caunet impeach its correctness, as there never was a mere outrageous monopoly. As for the benefit te the working men, I want te ask the stcel rail makcis icpLc santcd in this convention whether or net the Vulcan steel rail works in St. Leuis wre 8hut up, receiving a royalty from the association for net producing steel iai!s, and whether such a policy was calculated te benefit the working men of St. Leuis. But I cannot clese my remarks en the steel rail duty without calling te mind that in June last the pig iron producers of this country bitterly complained that the Bes semer steel rail makers were using the foreign pig iron te the detriment of the home-made pig iron. A number of letters sent out by tbe St. Leuis Age te the sev eral steel rail rolling mills brought, among ether answers, ene from the Cambria iron company, signed by its general manager, D. J. Merrell, from which I append the following extract : "It is uufortuuate that extreme depies depies sien of prices in England has broken the metal market here, and if mauufaciuicrs of Bessemer steel have bought Enjdjsh pig-iron it is because, as Mr. Garrison says, it is mero than several dollars cheaper in price than American. They cin't very well help themselves, for they are in the market as purchasers, aud however much they may dislike the situatieu they have get their stockholders behind them, and they would have te give a geed reason for paying $3 or $4 mere than the market price. What the president of a steel com pany might like te de personally and what be is ebliged te de officially may be quite a diucicnt thing." New, I call your attention te the sage and unanswerable ruie laid down by Mr. Merrell, the vciy high priest of protec tion, that a company is obliged te buy a material iu the cheapest market, and it would have te cive a ceed reason te its fchatcheldcrs for paying $3er $4 nioie than market price. Well, then, when the great American public mildly asks that a reduc tion of duty should enable them te buy cheaper rails, which cost iu England $32 a ten aud in America $00, such a mere pre position is denounced as unpatriotic, as a wreuji te American industry and labor. But when it is applied te the steel rail makers themselve?, and when they are asked te suppeit home-made pig-iron they shelter themselves in an excuse there is no alternative, aud that the stockholders have a right iu the matter. Thus Mr. Mei roll justly establishes a privileged clas;-, whose light le buy iu a cheaper maikct must net be questioned. But the American ceusumcis must net be allowed the same privilege. They are the serfs et the steel rail monopolists whose millions, accumulated tint of the pockets of the people, mlc by "Divine right'' against which all agitation is high treason. But will the steel lail interest icpicscntcd in your convention give a geed reason why steel lails should be taxed 90 percent, and pig-iron only a little ever 37 per cent'.' Yet such is the lact. Iu 1880 we imported plg-ir "i valued at $11,018,999.05, en which there was col lected a duty ($7 per ten) amounting te $4,318,107.19, which is just 37 10-100 per cent., whereas the duty en steel rails was 90 per cent. The duty ou woolen goods is se manifestly outrageous that it needs h.tidly any comments fiem me. But 1 confess that it is ncce&sary te lcduce the new oncieus duty ou law wool, which is a standing evil, and that the duty ou woolen goods can euly be modified with a cor cer cor icspenditig lediietieti of duty en law wool. I may, however, call your at 'tctitkm te the fact that the present duty en woolen goods is decidedly atl valeiem, although it is mixed up with a specific duty. And I sec no cai thly icaseii, if the piescnt double duty can be faithfully collected, why a puic aud sim ple 50 per cent, late of duty en all woolen gee 1.- would net meet the desired modifi cation. As I intend te lay bcfoie you the duties collected ou all ai tides con cen Miuicd in 1880 that paid a higher rate of duty than 50 per cent., I shall in myic .suiue be able te point out the total appar ent less te the levi'iiuu if such a modifica tion wcie made. I .say a total apparent less, because I feel convinced that the icvciiue would iu the end be ;athcr a gainer by the change. ill u .i-t .ivs tll.it he has he.uil the eiy lil"lie-t !U.llM,"-.eii te Dr. IJuirs;i)U"hSviili iuei many instances someel Cieup.
