TILLMAN DEFENDS HIS IRON ORE VOTE. Replies to Inquiry of Williston "Till manite.'"-Attacks Associated Press. The State. Washington, Jute 16.- Senator Tillman to(Aay gave out a letter which he wrote to Dr. W.; C. Smith of Wil liston as to his voie against putting iron ore on the free list. Dr. Smith being always a 'jTillmanite," wrote to the senator ror an explanation. The twp-letters fcllow. Zach McGheee. ' Williston, 4. C., May 27, 1909. Senator B. R. Tillman, Washington, D. C. Dear Senator:* Having always been a "Tillmanite'' at the ballot box, I am emboldened to ask you if you have ever stated your :reasons for voting for a duty on iron ore, and if such statement is in print that you will send it to me. I am curious -to know why,r,I Yours -truly, W. C. Smith. Dr. W. C. Smith, Williston, S. C. My Dear Friend: Your letter of the 27th has remained unanswered simply because I have been overwhelmed with work here and have spent sev eral days in South Carolina looking after matters at Clemson and lost one day as I returned by reason of a railroad w:reck. I have never printed anything about my vote in iron ore and will very gladly give you an explanation direct. I notice that my old enemies are making a great howl about m' votes up here, while many others who have not been enemies are yelping in chorus, simply because they are ig norant of conditions. The trouble with many editors in South Carolina is they take and read the Associated Press dispatches, which are colored in behalf of the Republican party, and are garbled and condensed and give no adequate conception of things as they really happen. The facts in regard to the iron ore are simply these: There is overwhelm ing ividence that there are no inae steel trust or iron producers. The steel trust has absolute control and enjoys a monopoly of the iron and steel business in this country. The so-called independent coneerns are dominated and controlled by it, though not all owned by it. The steel dtrust fixes prices and the others con' form. There are immense, wellnigh inex' haustible, table deposits of iron ore in Michigan, Wisconsin and Minne sota, and the sf yel trtist controls im mense deposit in these States. It also controls, or some of its subsi dialy companies, large deposits ir Cuba. It was brought out in the de bate that some of the Eastern com panies have contracts with the Cuban mine owners to import not less than 1,000,000 tons a year of Cuban ore, and I do not think it worth while tc let this come in free when it would make no difference whatever to the consumers of iron and steel as to the price we would pay foir these articles. I believe that the American producer of iron and steel (that is the steel trust mainly) can compete with Eng land, Germany and France in the markets of the world, and that the whole. scheme of protection of man ufactured steel is a bare-faced ~rob bery of the American people. .No one but an idiot will contest that the duty on iron ore will inerease the price of anything manufactured .of iron to the American consumer. If we could reduee the tariff on manufactured iron we could get -eheaper prices, but un der existing circumstances the tariff law bars out the European competit or, who is already handicapped by having the ocean freights to pay, and our people are charged the cost of production in Europe, plus the freight plus the tariff and this is the source of Carnegie's millions. IAssuring you of my high apprecia tion of your friendship in the past and hoping to continue to merit your confidence and support, I am Sincerely you>rs, B. R. Tillman. The News of Excelsior.
