THE IRON MANUFACTURE.

Another Misrepresentation In regard to the great
industrial product of Pennsylvania has just received
its quietus. The Easton Democrat and Argus a
short time since put forth, in all the glory of CAPT.
tai letters, and notes of admiration, that DAVID
THOMAS, Esq, manager of the Crane Iron Works,
had declared no could make iron for $I4. Mr..
Thomas's opinion happens to be of much value,
and its worth is recognised especially by the peo-
pie at Easton, SO that the editor of the Democrat
thought he was dealing master stroke in making
this annunciation. Unfortunately the statements
came to Mr.. Thomas's ears, and the consequence
is the following direct and positive denial, and the
utterance also of an opinion he does hold concern
ing the manufacture Of iron. The subjoned is the
statement of Mr.. Thomas
Crane IRoN WoRKs, SEPTEMBER 5, 1916.
SrR Your paper of the 9th ultmo, which was shown
this morning. contains in editorial under the head Of
"The Iron Humbug, the following assertion Mr David
Thomas manager of the Lehigh Crane Iron Works says
that he manufactures iron at sl4 per ton."
This assertion unquali,isdiy deny-never having made
tand at the time, declare that it is void truth
fact iron having been made these works. or any
other in this counts far my nfomaons extends at any
thing like this price. II,

at Sl4 per ton, than reduce every thing material and

THE OREGON SETTLEMENT.

We observe by the Virginia papers that Mr..
LEAKE, Democratic member of Congress from
that State, in recent public speech in his district
frankly admitted that the peaceable settlement of
the Oregon difficulty was not las his party had
claimed) attributable SO much to "THE NOTICE F"
which the President recommended, as to the FORM
which was given to the notice by the Wings OF the
Senate, aided by some independent Democratic
members. without some such modification Mr.
LEAKE believed there was great danger OF open
hostlties between Great Britain and the United
States" There is no doubt that Mr. j.. is right,
and such will be the judgment which history will
record of the transaction yet for maintaining this
view Of the case, all who preferred just settle
ment and honorable peace to calamtous and unne-
cessary war were denounced by the parasites of
power here and elsewhere, as British-bought trail
tors. The President proclaimed our title to the
whole of this disputed territory to be clear and
UNREASONABLE" and at the same time advised Con-
gress 10 authorize immediate notice to the British
Government OF termination of the Joint occu-
pancy convention. This was urged on the ground
that it was the only sure mode of bringing the
question to peaceable termination and all the
utve head But the Wings mistrusted the Execu-
tive judgment; the assertion of title and the
mendation wore too much the appearance of
movement ad captnadam uulgus and they, there
fore, disregarding alike the clamors of demagogues
and imputations Of the low and vile, listened only
to the voice of duty, and boldly as well as wisely
proposed that course Of Cancellation due to human
ity, due TO great and kindred nation and still more
to our character, and thus rescued the peace of
the country from jeopardy and averted the calamity
which Mr. LEAKE thinks the reckless course pro-
posed by the Administration would have rendered
imminent. tits to the Who's OF THE SENATE, then,
aided by the Bentons, and Calhouns and Hay
woods, and other independent members of the
dominant party, that the country is NOW admitted
by candid opponents to be- indebted for the preser-
walton of its peace, its dignity, and its honor.
