and ns the total output et the steel rails In

1887, this would, by Inference, m&ke the
total number of skilled empleyes engaged
In this Industry in the United State?, dur
ing the year 1337, 7,147 men.
N.ew. Mr. Uuatriuan, let us ascertain
from tbeaa figure", if we can, what It costs
tbe people et this country under tbe pre.
tecttentsts' theory and the existing tar ff
or te day for steel rails alone, te equallzi
what they claim te be the difference be
tween labor and material In the United
tJ eaten, and tben te ascertain, if we can,
wh't proportion of this protection claimed
ter the q Jallzallen of labor, labor receive.
In producing a ten of steel rails we Btarled
with the Bessemer pig Iren. The average
price per ten of Ne. 1 Bessemer pig Iren
during 13S7 did net vary materially from
$18 per ion In Pittsburg, and tbe average
firioefer tbe same quality el Iren in Eeg.
and during the aims period was $12 60 per
ten, or a difference or $5.60 per ten.
Ah f have sbewn tbe oest paid for tbe
labor te produce a ten of ateel rails at the
EJitar Thomsen steel works was $1 09, and
allowing a difference of even 60 percent. In
labor betwien Eegland and tbe United
Slates, which is excessive, te protect tbe
wageweker In this oeuntry engaged lu the
ateel rail faotery against tbe se called pau
per labor of Eaglaud it would require $2.
These two items of the dltldrence in oeat et
pig Iren and tbe dltlerenceln labor would
aqual $7.60 ; and a duty en steel rail, there
fore, of $7 60 per ten would cover every
claim upon which the theory el protection
IS bSSee. UUl ll COSH. BUUUOIUIUK iu no. a
ten of steel rails from Liverpool te our eea eea
cet, and thfl average freight and Insurance
during tbe year 18S7 from Liverpool teNew
Yeru was aoeut $2 per ten, whleh is tbe
equivalent of se much mere protection te
tbe producer In this oeuntry, and this, If
deducted fiem the $7 60 would still further
reduce the necessary duty, even under tbelr
own theory, te $5.60 per ten. But let us be
liberal with them ; let us eall tbe freight
and insurance 60 cents per ten, and tben a
duty el $7 per ten under their own claims
and tbeerle would be a u, pie. Tbe present
dutv is $17 Par ten, and, If I am oerrect In
my ujuren, $10 per ten In excess el what la
absolutely necessary, as tbey claim, net
only te protect borne labor, but te cover
tbe difference in tbe oeat of pig Iren.
IU ve shown that the oest te produce a
(en et s'.eel rails at tbe KdgtrTbomsen steel
works In 1SS7 was $20 70; and surely a
cioet of $5 per teu en tbe number of tens
et teel fall produced In tbe Uelted States
cngbt te satisfy the most avaricious man man
jtaeturtr, tnd tbla would btlng their
eelllng prle up te $31 70 per ten, Jutt
about the average prlee la tbe united State
te-day, samel? 1 $3L60 te 932 par ten at
the mill, and $5 per ten profit en the output
of ateel rail for 1880 would be tbe equiva
lent or 110,2 18. 190 of profits d Ivlded between
10 or 13 establishments engaged la this
Industry In this country. Bat, sir, tbe
average prlee at wblcb steel rails sold for
la tbe United State during tbe year 1887,
waa $37 12i per ten, or $5 83 in exces of
tbe price te-day, or $10,924 670 64 additional
profit en tbe output et 1887, or an aggregate
profit of $21,171,700 te be divided between
10 or 12 atenl rail mill In tbe United States,
and, air, I am aatlsfled that this li net very
much out of the way.
When we come te structural Iren and
steel beams, although tbe output is much
lea than ateel rails, yet tbe figure are
mere astounding. A fire-proof building
oannet be erected In tbe country that struc
tural Iren and steel are net a material part
of Its oest. It Is a large pett of the cost In
tbe ratlwav and highway bridges of the
euntry. IU use net only adds te tbe
durability of all structures, but In our
large cities lessens the cbanees et cenfl igra igra
tlena and reduces the rates of Insurance. I
have shown that tbe cost of a tee nt struc
tural ateel produced at tbe Edgar Thomsen
steel works daring the year 1887 was about
$23.02. But let us call It $33. Yeu cannot
te-day bay a ten of steel biams for Itss
than 3 3 eents per pound, or $60 par ten.
It Is well known, sir, that the steel beam
Industry et this country te dsy is In a trust;
and tbe average price of these steel beams
Imported Inte this oenntry during the year
1887, upon which duilea were levied, was
1.2 eents per pound, or $20.88 per ten, and
tbe duty upon tbem nnder the existing
tariff Is l; cents per pound, or $28 83 per
tee, tbeuuty exceeding tbe value of tbe im
ported artlele $2 per ten. The output of
these steel beams at tbe Edgar Thomsen
steel works during the year 18S7 aver
aged about 100 tens per day, or 30,000
per annum, and the dltlnrenee between the
oest of its production, $33 per ten, and $C0
per ion, the selling price, leaves a margin
of $33 per ten, or $1,000,000 profit en till
product alone, and I ask this Hcute and
tbe country whether or net the cemmlttee
en ways and means la Justified In reduc
ing the duty en steel rails from $17 per ten
te $11 per ten, and en steel beams from 1.'
cents per pound te six-tenths of 1 cent per
pound, whleb leaves tbe duty en steel rails
under the proposed bill equal te 5 par
cent ad valerem, In place cf 05 pEtr cent, ad
valerem under tbe existing tariff, and en
steel beams at 44 per cent, ad valerem, lu
place of 102 per cent, under tbe present law.
Mr. Chairman, 1 also have before me a
pamphlet entitled "The Edgar Thomsen
Steel Works," dated 1837. It Is an authen
tic pamphlet, furnishing certain data,
wblcb could have only come from tbe pro
prietors et tbe oempany. I will only quete
an extract from the last page :
Te keep the works running, en an aver
age dally output of 1,400 teua of Iren and
manganese and 803 tens of rail, required tbe
handling, by leading and unloading, of
7,020 gross tens of material dally, namely,
2.30J tens el Iren ere, 1,450 tens of oeke, 070
tens of limestone, 1,400 tens of pig metal,
1,000 tens or cinder, 800 tens of rails, 300
tens coil, sand, brick, melds, refracteries,
etc, a greater tonnage for these works
alone than tbe entire cotton orep of the
United States.
I', sir, the proprietors of tbe E Jgar Thern
son steel works were Indicted before a
United Slates graud Jury for obtaining
money under false pretenses, namely, as
parties te tbe tariff act of 1833, If this admis
sion would net convlet them, then 1 am at
a less te knew what would. Wltb an aver
age output dally of 1,300 tens of pig Iren
and 800 tens of ateel rails, their total con
sumption et coal Is se Insignificant as te be
lneluded In the items of "ssnd, brick,
melds, refracteries, etc," at 300 tens total or
these articles ; and the number of tens of
oeke consumed, 1,450 tens, which at the
market price of te-day, figures tl. 10, would
make a total cist per day et $1,695, equal te
a oest for fuel or only 72' f cents per ten en
an output et 1,400 tens 01 pig Iren and 800
tens of steel rsile, and in which e't'.mv.e no
allnwanoe Is made for natural gee.
Compailsena are always odlecs, but tbe
latter part of tbe extract says: ''A greater
tonnage ter these work alone than tbe
entire cotton crop et tbe United S atea."
1 will endeavor te make some approxi
mate estimates and comparisons, whteh
this pamphlet bat failed te provide. Une
of tbe members et the Edgar Thomsen
- S!eeLWks, Limited, admitted te me
wiimn me pasr nreiinrr-Bis"; j ,"
where 1 new stand, that a atatemenlul3US
by myself in tbe fall of ISSO, was oerrect,
namely, that be drew out of tbe company
as dividends In one year tbe sum of $5,0 0
per day for 300 daya In tbe year, and this
was but one member of the firm, with no
statement of profits undivided. Ne in
telligent business man will put the annual
profits of this company at less than $5,000,
000, and we wilt allow tbem te employ
7,600 wage workers.
Mr. Soett tben contrasted the profits of
tbe company with that et tbe cotton pro
ducers :
According te tbe pamphlet referred e in
connection with the Edgar Thomsen eteel
works, tbey represent that tbelr whole area
et ground is 151 aere, and we will concede
that they employ 7 600 wage-workers
which tbey de no; In their various Indus
tries. Aoeordlngto official returns of the
agricultural department, there are new
under cultivation In tbe production of cot
ton, 10,000,000 acres, and a fair eallmateef
the number or adults employed In culti
vating these fields, allowing four bales te
an adult, Is 1.625,000 waRO-werkers, and
allowing eaeh one te represent a family of
five, It would give a total e' 8,125,000 of our
poeplo dependent upon this Industry for a
support and a living. I have estimated
the net profits of tbe entire cotton crop of
18ft) at $97,600,000. wbleh represents the In
terest en the cost et tbe 18.000,000 aerei or
land and tbe supervision end ether contin
gent expenses aud liabilities te the planter.
Astumlng that my statement that tbe
said company' net profits In the most
prosperous years are 5 000,000, Z would be
pleased te have some mathematician work
out for me tbe relative comparative profits
reatlz9d by tbe protected Industries of tbe
Edsar Tnomsen steel works, employing
700 men, with an estimated capital of
$20,000,000 occupying 154 acres of land and
improvements en same, and tbe profits
realized by tbe unprotected planters of tbe
Beurn, cultivating ib,uuu,uuu acres 01 tanu,
and employing 1,025.000 adults In this In
dustry, supporting 8,123,000 of our popula
tion. Yet, sir, when tbe committee intro
duced this bill Inte tbe Heuse and proposed
te put tbe cotton ties in wbleh this cotton
had te be baled for exportation en tbe free
list, the gentlemen en tbe ether side et tbe
Hense denounced It as a discrimination
against home Industries and tbe theory or
protection.

Fer some time past tbe Lancaster Alhletle
club have been considering tbe advisability
of leasing grounds whleh they could use
during tbe summer season for atbletle
sports of all kinds. Seme time age a com
mittee wai appolnted te leek ter suit, bio
grounds.
Last evening a meeting et the club te
take further action In the matter was held.
The meeting was one of Ibe largest held ler
a long time by the club. Tbe younger
members turned out In foreo and tbe
greatest interest In tbe proceedings was
manifested. President Jebn II. Baum
gardner called tbe meeting te order and
stated tbe object et It W. It. Brlnten,
ebalrman of the rental committee, reported
that tbey bad called upon Jacob Pent?,
owner of the Ironsides ball ground, whleh
were very sultable for tbe purposes et tbe
club, te ascertain his ter roe. He agreed te
rent tbe greunda ir $100, for tbe whele
season or for $50 for two daya of each week.
The committee bad carefully considered
the two proposals aud they thought It
would be best te pay $100 and thus have
exclusive right te the grounds all season
until cold weather acta In.
Jamee C. Wiley moved that tbe report of
tbe committee be accepted with tbe thanks
of the club, whleh was agreed te. Mr.
Wiley tben offered a resolution te tbe client
that the club root tbe Ironsides greundr.
After a abort dUcussIen this was agreed te
without a dlssenling voice, Tbe rceult
was greeted wltb applause.
The following committee te bnve charge
of tbe grounds was appolnted : W It. Brln Brln
eon, Charles Amwake, Jacob I Perter,
James C. Lisman and James U. Wiley. Tbe
last named gentleman will be tbe manager.
Before renting the grounds some of the
members Inspected tbem. Tbey found that
they were In better condition than any in
tbe city, for tbelr purposes, and It will re
quite an outlay of but a few dollars te put
everything In the best abape.
It la the Intention et the Atblotle c'.uli
te form two distinct base ball nines from
tbe members,and there Is no doubt that tbey
bave plenty of geed materlaL These will
play games at different times and thus a
a great Interest will be excited. With
plenty of praotlce the club may be nole te
secure a team te play against these of ether
towns, and Lancaster people may yet have
the plcasure olseetug base ball riguln played
bore.
Tbe grounds will net be used for baee
ball alone, but It is tbe Intention te put up
s tennis court and make It a suitable
place for atblotle sperlB of every kind. Tlie
securing of these txceilent grounds la con
sidered a geed move by every one, and the
members of the club are very onthusiast:e
In tbe matter.

A PROPOSITION HADK.
Mr. Mills Anxious te flay, it Direct Tots ou Id.
Tatlrr rVlilieut Debate.
Washikuten, May 10 Chairman Mills,
of the committee en was and means, waa
te-day asked by a United Press represen
tative what there waa of truth In the state
meat published this morning te tbe effect
that be had proposed te tbe Republicans
In the Heuse te lake a direct vote en the
tariff without debate nnder the five minute
rule. Mr. Mills said, "Several days age
tbe Demoeratlo members of the committee
submitted a preposition te tbe Republicans.
It was that at the conclusion of general de
bate tbe Republicans might move te strike
out all alter tbe enaetlng clause et my bill,
and substitute the bill they have In prepar
ation. If this failed te secure a majority et
the Heuse, then my bill should be placed
upon Its passage without debate, I proposed
further, that it this preposition was accepted
we would extend the general debate te any
reasonable limit say four or five days, I
have received no response from ih Repub
licans, and de net believe the preposition
will be accepted. Our object In this pro pre pro
eedlng Is te save time, and meet the Issue
presented iquarely. We de net tear the
leault et the debate under the five minute
rule. We are confident that we can stand
together and acoept or reject amendments
without division.
But there Is another slde te tbe situation
The Mills bill represents tbe tariff princi
ples cf tbe Demoeratlo parly nt a whela
On it we are willing te go te the oenntry
and meet the Issues or tbe approaching
campaign. The Republicans are preparing
a moasure which will reprrsent tbelr party
at large. I cannot see the wisdom In
coming togetber and debatlng prepositions
whleh are unanimously aoeopted as tbe
bases et tbe two parties. The completion
efa tariff platform, 1 the work of a party
eaucus, net that of a mixed Uotise."
Senater Allisen, who has been consulted
by Republicans lu the liouse en this ques
tion, was asked what he thought his party
representatives would de with the Milts
preposition. He replled that he had had
several conferences and that all of the Re
publican members or tbe oemmlttee en
finance had been oenf jrred with, but that
the final decision would net be reached
under two or three day p. It waa
bis Impression that the preposition
would net be accepted. The fict
that the Democratic members of tha
Hense were anxious te out off debate
under the five minute rule seemed te Indi
cate te tbe Republicans that tbe Democrats
feared the result of propesod amendments ;
that they were apprehensive that tbelr bill
would be badly dliflgured and tbat tbelr
party would go le pieces under tuoflve
mlnute rule.
Otber Republican ronaters Intlmate that
the action of tbe oemmlttee en finance yes
terdsy In appointing a suboemmltteo te In
vestigate tbe tariff, indicates that the Mills
preposition will be rejected.
