The price of from 258. to 308. per ton textiles would rise by 4 per cent,; that of machinery by 12 per cent and that of chemicals by 10 per cent. This was a very serious matter to the whole nation, be cause we were losing the national income from exports. For example, steel rails in Great Britain would cost £17 10s. per ten; ship-plates, £19 per ton; crown bars, 22 10 per sor and pigiron, 29 per ten; while the United States' prizes were £10, £14, E11 158., and £% respectively.
