Immortality beneath the skies Obelisks, arches and

broad spcndors the plains below, and along
the coasts and headands of Attica, is now crumb-

site materials by savage war and heartless man
Even the Pyramids of Egypt, whose origin is hidden
in the deepest recesses of antiquity, and which have
always stood in awe-nspring solitude and grandeur,

IMPORTATION OF Iron IRoN MANUFACTURES INTO THE
UNITED STATES, YEAR,
S8,26O,372


This table shows that there has been very great fall
ing of in the quantity and value Of the importation Of
manufactured iron into this country For the purpose OF
giving correct statement of the iron trade, under the
changes in the tariff laws of the United States have
given table showing the Importation for one year. at
the close of the compromise act, compared with the
importation for year since the passage Of the exist
ing tariff act
The increase in the mining and manufacture Of iron in
the United States within the past year or two has been
very great and can be attributed principally to two
hings-the increase in the duty upon that Of foreign
manufacture and general improvement in the industry
Of the country have been introduced in
to the manufacture and the increase in the number Of
furnaces erected has given additional impetus to mining
and created a competition in the mining and manufactur
ing which must prove very advantageous and beneficial
to the The increase in the manufacture Of
in the rough state has not been rapid than the
in the manufacture Of all the necessary articles
required in the various mechanical business of the
country. By the above table will be seen that the
Importation of nails, spikes, cables, chains, anchors
castings sheet and hoop iron and many other manuiac
lures, in s44, much smaller than in lsil; while the
demand for these articles increased enormous
ly, which has been supplied by similar articles OF do
mesc manufacture. The demand for iron must be an
nuay increasing; and If our tables OF mporhticns show
that the supplies from foreign countries are rapidly fall
ing off, il follows that must be supplied from internal
sources The vast amount of capital that has within
year or two past employed in building up furnaces
and manufactures in every section of the country, is
the evidence in the world that few years will su
ice enable to not only supply ourselves with any
quantity and with every article Of this manufacture but
also any external demand that may arise Atpresent,
the most extensive iron mines and manufactures

the great iron region Of the United States Its iron mines
