Sales Of Pig Iron.

Upon the occasion OF the recent visit OF
Gen. lay lor 10 This city, the Iron Masters,
rs our readers will remember, embraced
the opportunity TO whisper in the ears OF
the credulous old man n most dis nal tale
in relation to the awful "ruiu'' that has
been produced by the Tariff Of 1916 -
They made report, in which they stated
that sales OF ''gcod pig iron are made at
$40 per ton This statement we copied
INTO the columns Of the Post, and produced
an item from the columns o! the same
paper, of the same date, reporting a sale OF
1876 tons OF Clinton I'll. r. c. b. metal al
$27, 6 mos. Thereupon the Federal
prints alledged that the sale in question was
Of superior article Of pig metal and that
$40 was the actual selling prices as stated
by the M ,slers " In the American OF
Tuesday we find the following under the
head of general review OF the markets, y
to which we respectfully call the attention
OF Zachary Washington:
PIG IRoN.-The long continuance OF
low water has brought what liltle metal on
hand into market, and we have the follow
ing sales since our last: $50 tons Buchan-
an at $25, mos. 10 Wheeling; 1O2 tons
Mill Greek at S25, cash; 100 tons Ship
penvIle at $25, 6 mos; i3 tons Texas
lVenango) at S22, 6 mos; l67 tons Jetier-
son and Buchanan at ss25, 8 mos; 100 tons
Shippenville, in small lots to iouniries al
$25, mos; Ill tons, MKT lot in trade
for Bar and Nails. About $50 tors of
Shippenville remain unsold, which com
prises nearly all of Allegheny now in
market.
Now, let Gen. TAYLOR compare the
facts here sci forth from q Whig paper,
with the Munchausen statement OF the
''Iron Masters" ard he must certainly come
to The conclusion that gross and wicked
attempt was made TO lead him os!ray m
relation to the price of pig iron, while he
was in this city.
Since the above was in tyre we have
conyersed with gentleman who is engaged
in the iron trade to considerable extent,
and he reports to us a sale, within few
days past, of 100 tons of Allegheny pig
iron a. $26, cash. He states that the
report Of the ''I,rn Masters made to Presi-
dent TAYLOR was lacking in truth and fair
ness-it was a mere political trick, intend
ed to deceive and mislead the Executive.
The same gentleman informs US that he
made sales oil pig iron at Si23 per ton during
the time that the much lauded tariff OF
1912 was in operation! Here are facts
that are worthy of the consideration OF the
President and Congress Pitts POST

Austrian Earbafity..

The brutal ferocity cf Austria, of which
so many proofs have been given in the Ital-
ian and Hungarian struggle, is still further
exemplifed in the terms that she imposes
upon the noble Venetians, who are the last
to hold out against her power. Austria re-
quires that forty of the principal citizens
shall be selected as victims, before she wifi
grant amnesty to the balance That is, the
people of Venice shall permit her to choose
out forty conspicuous citizens to be delibe-
rately murdered, before they can hope for
pardon from Austria. The people of Venice
choose rather general immolation than to
consent to such cruel and bloody alterna.
tive. The perpetration of such an act of
barbarity excites horror even in those ac-
custotned to scenes Of cruel and remorse-
less murder. Ths Archbishop of Paris has
addressed a strong appeal to the French
Minister of Foreign Affairs, urging the joint
interference of England and France in this
affairs of Venice, so as to procure from
Austria mitigation of the terms. Wheth-
er he will be success Tul or not in bis
object, the direst necessity only will COM
pei the Venetians to consent to the brutal
terms demanded.-Phaia. Ledger.

TAYLOR ANEcpoTE.-A few weeks ago
an agent was despatched to our Govern
ment by the Can adian authorities, for the
purpose of settling upon some plan for the
most effectual '.reciprocity oftrade between
the United States and Canada.'' The a.
gent having had lengthy interview with
our Secretary Of State, was conducted in
to the presence of Old Zack. After the
usual introduction and civilities, the agent
narrated to the President the object of his
mission-Reciprocity Of trade between the
two governments The words ''R ecproc-
ity OF trade" seemed to have struck the old
General with awe and establishment. He
had heard of ''Reciprocity' Of Affection"
"Reciprocity Of kindness, &C." but never
Reciprocity of ftrade.' In this dilemma
the general directed attention to his Sec
retary of State, and informed the agent
that "Czayton attended to all rsciproci-
ties" and, in almost the same breath, ask
ed the agent if the "potato rot had visited
Canada" The sudden change of the sub
ject bewildered the intelligent agent, and
bidding Old Zack adieu, he left the White
| House.-Balt Argus.
