Thursday, February , 1012 Till: METAL SCHEDULES Some oueer argument was uoeJ bv the Democratic majority in the pass age last week of the metal schedule in their announced policy of a general reduction of the tariff. Conerefmn Palmer, of i'ennavlvania. M the Democratic leader in the debate, and ha beiran bv savine that he had no aDecial information UDon the subject and later that the committee subraitt ing the revised schedule bad bad no bearitm on the Question and had not aksed for any information from anv wie else. According to Mr. Palmer's state aoent should the new schedule iro into effect it will result in an increase of 35 vet rent in the importation of metal products, at the same time reduoins the revenue received under existing conditions $250,000. It also developed during the debate that should the new schedule be oer mitted to go into effect that Charles If. Schwsb would make a clean-uo of $3,750,000 on a contraot for 25.000.000 tons of iron ore from Sweden, the pre sent tariff of 15 cents per ton betas: abolished. Just bow this country is to be bene fitted bv replacing $20,000,000 worth of home products bv importing a like amount of foreign made stuff is not exactJv clear to the average person. And besides should the often reitusted statement concerning the huge profits f manufactures be true why would tbev permit the importation goods of any amount whatever? If they should lower their prices in accordance with that statement what would become of the "tariff for revenue only" theory? It is possible that in certain instances tariff rates should be lowered, but to what extent, can only be determined by a close study of actual conditions surrounding the production of the articles under consideration, and not bv persons who have acknowledged that they have no particular information on the subject.
