Steel rails can bo bought to-day at tbo mill for $29. No current isolation i3 higher than $31. lf$?Ia ton would renreoent "a bounty of $2 00," how much is tho bounty with the Belling price at $29? If there ia any force ia Mr. Grady'atlgurea tho manufacturer tfivea hio bounty to the consumer and fc'irowo in 1)1 centa to boot. Perhapa Mr. Grady will Had this explained in his IDoiuocratic Campaign Book and pftve tho explanation in bis next speech. lie may bo able aUo to tell why it is if "the Uirilf is a tax" which allows tho .manufacturer "to aell hia rails all the way up to $39," that the grasping rob* iborofa manufacturer does not take advantage of the law aud get tho $39, inBte:yl of contenting hiaiEelf with $10 a ton leea. This wonderous moderation ahould also bo capable of an explanation. Further remarks "the silver-tongued orator" from New York, "put on tho ?tO .11 tnv n?A nwlrua if imnnnaihlo to get a ton of steel rails into this cour> ifcry letfe than S3p IM." With American riite selling at $29 a ton, this ia another ilat tad concluaiva contradiction of Mr. Grady's Free Trade contention that "the iariffisatax." InlS8S, when tho tariff on eteel rails was$17 a ton, 130,709 tons wer6 {brought into this country and sold in cojnnytition with -the homo product, wLich was gelling at S31 a ton. Who paid that tax? Not tim American consumer. It cost about the same then as juoh' to produce a ton of English rails, iff Mr. Orady's English figures aro right, ;he must find some way to account for a 3ittle matter o/?ll GOonisa ton on the vvholo importation of JiiSS. Jn lSDS the averago price of eteel rails in 41'ia country was $158 50?England was supplying us with Meel rails. We have brokon the back of that monopoly, and a protective tariff has done it, at the same time maintaining the highest standard of wages in the world.

Hethepxot out a book, labelled "pemocratic Oauipaj^u Book for IStiO," and said ho was going'to jjiv.o bis audience an "object lesson," and therefrom eoiuo alleged arguments the steel rail tariff. lie made tho siau:nen? that bo would pay the InrtiLLiah-saut tUd^tieing rates to print tho "ubj^ct iitfson,' and it having tho general tona of a good tbing to print in a Republican paper for the good it would do, the InTKi.LiOKNCKU reporter. present propoBeu . to Mr. G rudy, after tho meeting, to accept his offer. It didn't talro Joni? to make a deal, and tho "object lesson' was furnished verbatim by stenographer Louis E. Schra<ler, who", in tho employ of tho Democratic committee, was reporting themeet5ng for the Register. It was calculated to amount to 114 lines, before it was printed, and Mr. Grady paid $11 40 of good Tammany campaign boodle and took a-.receipt. Tho "object lesson" is as follows: Mow, I have a little object leason to give you. I will pay tho intelligence the usual rates for advertising if they tvill put it in to-morrow's issue. To show you just how the tariff tax is meant to protcct labor, I have taken as the basis of calculation tho labor employed in making a ton of eteel rails. I will show you how that labor is divided. First it has to take 4,137 pounds of iron ore, and for that it gets $2.14. Then it 2iu8 to take 1,407 pounds of limestone, andforthat.it gots.20 cents. Theu it lien to take 4iS0S pounds of bituminoua coal, and for that it gets $1.97. Then it iias to convert the coal into 3,0S2 pounds of coke. For that it gets CO cents. Then for gutting and converting the ore, limestono anu the coko into 2,000 pounds ol pig iron; (or that work itgets$l. 57. Then it han got to convert that 2,000 pounda of plk iron into 2,188 pound j of uteel inCote, For that it ucts $1.08 and tho fuel, ltuminouH coal, for tho conversion of the above into 2,4854 pounds of hteel ingots costs 1/1 cents. For the conversion of steel ingota into steel rails them is paid $1 54, and for that fuel used in converting these ingots into steel rails thoro is paid 00 cents, so that in the labor involved in dieting out tho ore. and tho limestone and tho fuel for converting tho oro and tho Hraestono Jato ateol rails thero is paid $11 M), That is all the labor in it, as we l' derfjtand it, all tho labor employed in junking a ton of steel rails, eoBtP$ll60. What do you think tho eanin labor would cost in pauper England? J'jct make a mental cueaa. it costs $11 32, anil tho diflerenco between the money paid to American labor for the mnV ing of n ton of steel rails aa distinguished iiotu English labor onpaeed in tho eatpo worL', is precisely 27 71-100 cents. Now then here'o my figures. That is what they want to protect. Thoy want to protect that 27 cents difference. They want to do more than that. They certainly want to do moro than that. They'll havo you believe they want to do it. Wlmt do you Buppoeo .is tho tax protecting that 27 centc difference? What do you suppose? Thirteen dollars and forty-four cents. To protect that 27 cfinto riifferwico in labor they put en-a U?x of $13 41 1 can gr-tnear- rttatitiRthQ'riith than that. Now then lot me Bee if 1 can't hit a little doner. Tho cost of a ton of Btcel raila, including the $1159 paid to tho men who produce thorn, tho supplies?that iu, tho aupplies uotd in their production?repairs of tho plant and transportation and the tax and the salaries of the oflicials and tho clerke, and every honest charge that outers iiito their cost, makes ?i ton of Bteel rails c a', in this country $25 78. I add to that i 20 per cent profit?that is a pretty good protit?20 per cent profit, aud thai would make tho rails $30 01. In Eur^ po thn averago coat of a ton of steel rails is $22 80. X allow a protit of $2 80?10 per cent?Just half what I allow for hero. That would make the, gelling price $25 00. Put on tho $13 14 j tax and that makes it impossible to gut I a ton of ateel ruila into this country for I less than $30-01, and that allows the] man who has the 20 per cent profit in Belling his rails at $30 04 to sell his rails J all tho way to $30. The difference in cost over $30 91 is not to pay you that 271 cents difference, not tooncouraee Amur. I ican Industries, but is to put n bounty into his pocket. If heceilsthem to-day for $33 ho ispettinji$2 00 bounty upon every ton of rails that he sells. Now, just imagine Mr. Curncgio eelliny railo, and for every ton of rails that goes out ?2.0tf goes in. Is it any wonder Mr. Carnegie has enough to live on? Do you eeo where the immonso fortunes have been amassad? Now the Democratic party recognizing that diOereuce of 27 cents botween the labor cost here an* abroad, recognizing the difference in their ,coi ditions would,take tbeprice of steel rails jn tb;a country, add on the profit, add on the diflVj-epce in the coat of labor?(.twenty-sevon cents)?doable it if you will, thribble jt if you will, "add that on, but don't add on a dollar of bounty to the manufacturer, because it all comes back on you.

"There id absolutely no protection for labored there should bo none. Its best pro^' ;:ion is free trade in the open markets of the world." Mr. Grady says what he did aay was? "The is absolutely no protection for labor, and tuere can be none. For what tho workinyman has to sell?his labor? our IawB provide tho most open free tirade mnrket in iho world." The Intellioknceii does not desire to misrepresent l.iui, and gives him the benetit of his disclaimer. It is, however, e significant Let that his friend, the While lit dots not give his words as tho Intej.lickn.cki: ?avo them", differs as widely/roci his own repetition of them as the Inxelligkncep.'jj. The Register quotes him as saying: "X have tried to tind out what protection the/o is for labor in this country, and I have discovered not only that there ic none, but that tho only market it can have is th,o market open for the bidders of all the world."

Then they lowered the duty on c - pretty nearly everything that the farmer \ * produced. This was their plan of re* \ lieving his distrees. They found that p - eighteen millions of dollars worth of ( - wool waa being imported annually; but i jpstead of giving him the market for this j ilemntid they put wool on the (too list, r rijoy found that nearly tiro and n hull inllliomi of dollurb worth of roup, ovor two millioniiof dollar? worth of tlux ami icnrlr a million dollara worth of beans ( were being brought in, lmt Instead of ' - nablirj! the American farmer to oboln tliia' money, th?7 provided for .liu taking a?ny of oven tliat which bo i*ah then receiving, for pi?b, beans and < bx wero tranaferred to the frcu list. 1 rhey allowed tho duty oil barley to rsnain at ten touts a bushel, nltboufc'i tho ; uiportutloii of barley amounted to nearV tight millions of dollars annually, fliny retained tho duty on checso at four tonta a pound, nltho'irb over n million lollara' worth of vuarto waa being irought over tho Cuandiftl border every 'ear.
