Then comes contraction, and the prices of manufactured
articles are sunk much below their natural value az
they were blythe previous initiation raised above it. There
is gut OF commodities, and scarcity of money The
consequence of this is that the manufacturer is ruined

Manufactures.

Our neghbor of the Intelgencer copies the following
from the Boston Traveller of the oath ult.
The tariff of 1886 must be revised the iron manuac
and other equally important branches of indus
try, must be stopped Indeed, many OF the rolling mills in
this vicinity have already stopped and the only mill for the
manufacture of railway which is yet in work has but
finish contract to furnish the Ogdensburg road 5000
$63-one-thd in stock-and then close its doors like
the others"
If certain branches OF manufactures not pros
porous they formerly the fault is not in the tariff
of 1885, but in other causes In the establishment of roll
ing mills in the vicinity of Boston, Massachusetts
featuring cupidy has fairly got the better of Massachu-
sets manufacturing cunning. Fuel very material item
the manufacture Of iron and this Massachusetts has
to bring from great distance. What be absurd
than the establishing of large manufactures of iron so
far from the coal beds of Pennsylvania and Maryland
when in the very vicinity of those beds there is every
convenience for the manufacture of iron on the most
tensive scale3
Again. the principles which certain persons in Bos-
tom and its neighborhood carry on business must neces-
sarily lead to disastrous results For example A Ger
tain manufacturer of railroad iron in that metropolis of
the Purtans wished to reduce the price of the American
raw material To accomplish his object, he caused to be
imported quantity of Scotch pig iron, and had the whole
sold below prime cost. The whole affair was SO cum
ningy managed that he did not appear party in the
transaction; and the temporary object he had in view
was fully attained. The price of American pig iron
reduced long enough to enable him make as many
contracts he wanted, and then he on with his
I" rolling mills"
What but ruin be the result, when low tckery Of
this kind is resorted to by having great command of
capital and of bank credit,
still more powerful cause has been in operation
More than year ago called attention the fact that
there great expansion of bank credits especially in
the eastern States. This expansion appears to have
reached its height in August Of last year, since which
time there has been not gradual but violent contrac-
ton Of the extent TO which has proceeded the bank
returns from few of the States may serve as an ndica-
ton.
