The Lancaster gazette. (Lancaster, Ohio) 1846-1852, 1847-09-10

Under this caption, a Boston paper
states the fact that one of their Iron
Works had given an order for $1,000 tons
of Picton Coal ,abonttwo and half per
cent. ON the probable anthracite trade
for the year lS47! A further scrutiny
will show that the above scheme of Polk,
Dallas and Walker is now silently but
rapidly working the downfall Of Ameri-
can industry. Among The items Of Brit
ish imports, we find the single article of.
%caticOes, printed and plain, an increase of.
81, 900 900 yards over those of 1916; be-

of 1912. Nor is this all. The same su-

so as to permit our manufacturers to re-

the present, the iron trade of the United
States must have suffered the fate so
clearly demonstrated in our columns last
year, by Mr.. Cresson, in his letterto Hon
7. Butler King, of Georgia. From the
