The hearing before the Tays and Means committee today was dev,oted to 1 iron and lead ores, metals and manufactures thereof. ,- Rep'resentative Draper, of 'Massachu setts, on bejialf of the manufacturers of machinery in-New England, presented, "without comment their request for a restoration of the McKinley rates'. of duty qii their product. - V. 11. Alexander, 'of Omaha, Neb., suggested the following modification ot the present paragraph in the law re lating to lead ores: "All ores of which lead-is a component part shall be duti able at the rate of three-fourths of one cent, per, pound an the lead contained therein."' - - - ' John D. Davis, of California,- said there were immense bodies of galena ore in San Bernardino county, Califon ia, awaiting development. The industry had. been started .under the McKinley law, butj had beeriKforced to suspend under the present law. -Thousands of tons of this 'ore had been taken . from the mines iarid placed on the dumps ready for delivery, and if -protection was given these mines would again be worked. He advocated a ditty of one cent per pound on lead ores. D. A. Jones, of New York, represent- Jtepreentative tierman, ,oi Uregon, appealedfor a, duty of .10- cents- per pound upon nickel'in order to allow the development Of our nickel mines- Up to 1891 it -was thought that there were ho nickel mines in the United IStates of any value.' Since that time valuable mines have been discovered in North Carolina, Washington, Nevada and Oregon.

The history of the Virginia and West Virginia ' furnaces would tell the same story. .. ;-;;-;' -:-,- - ".':.:;' The duty on pig iron under the present law was ciairaed bv some to be sufficient Protection... because vefv little foreign pig iron was now imported, and some few thousand tons out of the millions made had recently been exported. . These two Claims might be considered and answered, by the simple statement that the market wa at present abnormal horeign pig iron was abroad, and domestic abnormallv high iron abnor4 mol 1't- 1 r tt f- linmA As .the present capacity of the furnaces in the United States was largely in ex cess of the probable demands of the market for some years to come, there was no danger of the prices rising to. ah unreasonable limit by virtue of the res toration of the duty named in the Mc Kinley bill. The putting of idle furnaces jn blast wbuld, by competitiorr, protect the consumers. They further asked for a revision of the duties on bar iron, black .sheets and tin plate, and that cotton ties and fence wire be subjected to. the same rates as other like material. They asked this because it was for our interest that our customers, the maters of bar iron, black sheets," tin plate, fence wire and request the committee to adopt as a basis for the newtariff the so-called JIcKinley act, and not the so-called Wilson act.
