Dear Senator : Having always
been a 'Ttllmanite'' at the ballot ,
box, I am eroboldeued to ask if erjn
you have ever stated your reason rt je,
for voting; for a duty ou iron ore, {,jlv

that you will send it to me. ^rid

about my vote on iron ore and on ^

patches, which are colored in be- ^oc'
half of the Republican party, and
t^are garbled and condensed and 1>
,./give no adequate .conception of; Stat
things as they really happeu. difii
The tacts in regard-to iron ore A. 1
art simply these : There is over- ! Kirl
whelming evidence thai there are was
no independent steel or iron pro- | dau
ducers. The steel trust has ab- K
solute coutrol and enjoys a fice
monoply of the iron and steel ghat
business in this country. The so- thei
calk } independent concerns are vioc
dominated and controlled by it, Edv>
though not all owned by it. The few
steel trust fixes prices and the,Julc
others conform. j Dot
| v/'ij\f There are immense, wellnigh whe
j \ J inexhaustible, table deposits of jog ,
iron ore in Michigan, Wiacon- ficul
V Bin and Minnesota, and the steel by c
^ " trust controls immense deposits Ed*
in these States: It also controls, phyi
or some of its subsidiary com- rnai:
paniep, large deposits in Cuba. f?|t
4 It. was brought out in the debate an()
that some of the Eastern com the
panies have contracts with the j^t,
A Cuban mine owners to import HUCC
, not less fhan 1,000,000 tons a effPI
| \year of Cuban ore, and I do not nde
Vhink it worth while lo let this rihs
P ;ome in free when it would make | |
no difference whatever to the thro
consumers of iron and steel a? to left
the price we would pay for these four
articles. I believe that the Am ; arm
erican producer of iron and steel cavi
fihat is the steel trust mainly) his
can compete with England, gra*
Germany and France in the mar but
kets of the world, and that the | hur
whole scheme of protection of
manufactured steel is a bare- r.h
faced robbery of the American
y peoplo. No one but an idiot will a boi
contend that the duty on iron ore mon
