"The frilled Xtatejt government Im poses an Import tax of 4.1 per rent, on , foreign builders for this class of ma chinery. In eplte of this the Kiwllsh ' manufacturers pay all the frfight to Our ports and sell their machinery f. ; o. b. this country at exactly the same. prli nut rice as the American builders. Any business thart a government gives a protection of 45 cr t en:. Is a good ' business in which to engage. ; . The majority of the Northern build- i ere of this class of machinery buy their Iron from Southern furnaces and freight it to New ICngland and then end H buck to this section In mami actured machinery, thereby paying double freight. "As a sample of this argument. I will state that recently a manufactur er engaged In nraking looms In Char lotte, on a certain order pi iced it 're. saved the mill $15 each on the cost of ISO looms, the Northern manufacturers price being $165 each, and $27 freight on each loom, making a total of tr,2 per machine sirig.
