EXTRACT FROM THE TARIFF SPEECH OF HON. T. J. WOOD, OF IND.

[Continued from Just week.]

SCHEDULE J. In this schedule all cotton thread, yarn, or warp yarn, in skeins or bundlesiorlother form if worth 25 cents per pound, the tariff is 10cents pei pound; if worth over 25 cents and less than 40 cents, the tariff is 15 cents per pound; and so on through the list. The goods described in this schedule pay a dutj nearly one-half of their market value. If the farmer paid this rate of tax upon his property he would be driven into bankruptcy. Ten per cent, interest is a high rate for money loaned, yet the farmer and the workingman pay 40 to 50 per cent, upon all this class of goods he buys. But the end is not here. From the cotton yan , warp, and thread, which pay this enormous duty, is manufactured cotton cloth and othgoods, which are loaded down also with duties ranging from 50, ,to 148 per cent, aa valorem. So duty upon duty is added when one class of goods is used to manufacture another kind. WOOLEN SCHEDULE. I now £ o to the wool and woolen schedule of this famous reform law and I find wool, the raw material, paying a duty of 33£ to 40 per cent, per pound, according to value. — From wool is manufactured cloth, shawls, flannels, blankets, wool hats, knit goods, and many other articles, all loaded down with anfadditional duty of 85 to 88i cents per pound. Women’s and children’s dress goods made wholly or in part from the dutiable wool pay specific duties equal to an ad valorem duty of 05 -to 75 per cent, ner square yard! Count the yards necessary to dress the average family and you will have some idea of the shameful tribute paid by the consumer. You must not stop here in calculating tariff prices Count the tariff rate upon the cotton warp and again upon the warp when woven into cloth. SCHEDULE C. I call attention of the House to Schedule C, metals, <fcc., and see what duties iron and steel pay. Begin with iron ore. Iron ore is charged with a duty of 75 cents per ton. From the ore is made pig-iron, which is charfed with a duty of $6 per ton. ig-iron is run into bar-iron, &c., and that pays a duty of 820 per ton. Bar-iron, round iron, and flat iron is made into spikes, nails,and other articles, which pay a duty,of 825 per ton, while horseshoe-nails, hobnails, wire nails, wrought iron and steel nails pay a duty of £BO per ton; chains pay £35 to ! * 50 per ton, and fence-wire 812 per ton. These rates apply substantially to iron and steel j blooms. The blooms are made into iron and steel goods of every description, such as saws, files, nuts, rods, screws, and edge tools of everv kind, and all are charged with other high duties. I ask the Clerk to read a statement made in the discussion of steel duties. Allow me to call attention to the profits of the iron and steel industries. In 1880 there were 1,005 establishments with a capital of over 1 230,971,874. ! The iron and steel products : were valued at *296,557,685; ! value of material £191,201050; wages paid, £55,476,785. The profit is 849,809,750, or 21.56 per cent, on the capital invested. The average wages paid was 81.31 per day. In 1880 there were 36 establishments engaged in the manufacture of steel, with S2O 975,990 capital. Their manufactured product amounted to 855,805,210: value of materials, £36, 826,928 ravages paid $4,930,349. The profit was “14,-

047,933, or67percent, upon the capital. Average wages paid ■T.oO per day. Here is astoun-d-ing profits and low wages.— is protection for you in We beg to call your attention to the duties on steel as mentioned in Schedule O, in the act of March 3, 1883 wheioin, after providing certain rates on all kinds aud qualities of steel an additional duty of 1 cent per pound is levied on steel circulur auw olates. This discrimination makes the* duty on these amount to 4* cents per pound. Previous to the enactment of this law the duty on circular-saw plates up to 46 iuohes In diameter was only 8 esnts per pound, and above 46 inches in diameter it was 3i cents per pound and 10 per cent, ad valorem. The present rate of duty is equnl, on an average, *® ab »ut 35 per cent, of the foreign value of the article. We use these plates largely in our business, and consider the present duty excessive anci unjust, ami respectfully hope that your bill will remove t is discriminating paragruph and have steel circular-saw pi at ss taxed no more than -ther grades of steel of t e sumo value. TnE STEEL DUTIES. [Copy of a letter addressed to the Iron Age, ui:d published by that paper in its issue of March 13, 1884. To the Editor of the Iron Age: 8m: Your article entitled “Consolidation of rnawufuctures," iu your issue dated February 28, se ms to be against the cousuroeror steel and his efforts and wish fur » reduction of the tariff' on that necessary commodity. Your sympathies are more strongly expressed in favsr of the manufacturer of steel and his success in keeping up the high duties which some consumers have felt to ;e oppressive. You are right In saying “there is uo' reason why a steel works should not also make axes. saws, shovels, &e," and no sane consumer of steel will attempt to dispute the StatementMany oonsumeis of st.’e : , however, who have succeeded in establishing industries have reason to complain about a tariff that Id giving the steels makers snob a profit that they are rich enough to invest capital in the mauufrotura or axes, saws, shovels, Ac., and put them in the market at priee j tout are ruinous to thuser'who have been their customers, arfcl out of whom they have made thelr f riches. At the same time tnese consumers have not reulizei profit enough from their business to allow them to ens gag- ill making steel. Many who have tieretolore voted for and advocaied a turiff ror protection now be. lieve that the popular cry for protectiou bus Leeu used iu some places not merely for the purpose of scouring protection but to secure tne ore» ation of monopolies. Can any one Sho that duties or $44 8n per ton on lo w grades und $35 20 per ton on the high grades of crucible steel are needed for protection only? These high duties have been the means of keeping up high prices and unequal profits. They are duties that are so highly favorable to the producer of raw material that he is enabled to manufacture goods out of It at a price which while it affords him a profit will be ruinous to those who do not make their own raw material. These rates seem too high to one who has advocaieil protection from the davs of Henry Clay to the present time and a consumer of steel who believes that they operate iu favor of monopoly and against the principles of protection. An Old PHOTBcxroNrsT Huiran genius could not devise more jobbery covered by the forms of law than is contained in the metal schedule of this reform act.

SCHEDULE U. I call attention to Schedule Mos this odious law. It contains paper of all kinds. lam asked, “Why do you desire to reduce the tariff on paper, when it is only 15 to 20 per cent?” Let us see. The raw material, wood pulp, is chargediwith 10 per cent, ad valorem. The raw material out of which paper is made is loaded down with high duties, and when it is manufactured into paper for blank-books, bound or unbound, then another duty of 20 Per cent, ad valorem is added. W hen printing-paper, sized or unsized, used for books or newspapers is made, then 15 per cent, more is added. This kind of dodging to hide a high protective tariff is called reform. GLASS SCHEDULE. -W* The people pay for window glass $3,000,000 per year as class exaction. How? The amount imported last year was about $1,427,079, The duty paid the Government was $979,738, or about 67 per cent. The home manufacture last year was valued at five millions. It s:fid
