Among these was the oue of Carnegie—a gift richer and raver, and far more costly than any that conld be aflorded by the queen of England or the king of Bel gium, The gift was an unent diamond, of such size, quality and purity that neither the richest of the crown jewels of Eneland nor the moonstone of India could surpiss it i value. How came this American king of steel and iron to have such a diumond! The farmers of the United States bad paid for that diamond ten thousand times over in the Jast twenty years by paying an ave » duty of over 8% per cent on every article of iron and steel used and by payiug the increased rates in freight made necessary by the high duty on steel aud iron rails and volling stock 11 the pending bill becitme a law the farmers would have to pay on iton aud steel an_in- crease of duty from #8.24 (0 51,5 per cent Mr. Voorhees passed on to the discussion of the propesed increase of 120 percent on tin plate in order to protect aninfant industry | yet unbomn and give employment to 24,000 workingmen now idle.

Tin plate hivd the first rightto be on the free list and he would at the proper time move to putit there, There was no menufacturer of it in the country and there nothing to pr teet, even if protection were right.
