The steel trust presents the most impressive example of the peril to both industry and consumers from excessive protection. In no pro ductive industry has machinery been so much advanced and labor so much lessened as in the produc. tion of steel, and the price of steel rails under home competition was $27 per ton. The result was the union of the steel rail mills in a trust, and the price advanced to $40 per ton, when they can be profita. bly produced at $30. The railway companies which consume steel rails refused to buy at the advanced price of the combine, and the mills have been closed to coerce pur chasers to pay the extortionate price. If the duty on steel rails was reduced to invite importation whenever the price exceeded $30, every steel rail mill would be in operation today, employing their industry, and the consumersof steel rails would be regular buyers, Whenever a trust or combine ia bred by the "if ia notice that (he duties and there ean be no mis ty heodution i duties where io Tale ttn ¥¢ despot A visit San.

The Chicago Tribune, a Republican journal that is in favor of tariff reform, sustains the action of tho miners, It says: It is not only Novia Scotia soft coal that is ‘excluded, but any foreign coal. The English, Scotch and Irish sailing grain ships which and Port land Ore., to load there with our wheat have to carry ballast of some kind. They often” ballast * with British soft coal, but the 75 cents a ton tax discourages it.

Mr. Kearney is a man of very ordinary appear. ance. He is a short, stout man, with straight hair cut close, short neck and bullet-shaped head. He makes no pretense in the matter of dress, and his general appearance is suggestive of the “wild west” He wears no suspenders and be- tween the waist band of his trousers and the bottom of his vest there ap. pears an equatorial band of another garment.
