Prospects of the Iron Trade and Tariff Debate
The iron and steel industries face agitation over a Ways and Means tariff revision aimed at reducing duties on pig iron from 87 to 4 per ton. Manufacturers warn a low duty could flood imports as English pig iron sells at 10 dollars and US prices sit around 17, with rails in Wales at 20 versus 32 in the United States. They warn Congress risks prostrating the iron industry if tariffs fall amid weak 1877- era demand.
