AMERICAN AND BRITISH IRON INTERESTS
Some time time since the British Minister, un-
der instructions from the Government, addressed
note to our Secretary of State, expressing the
hope that the United States Government would
not as bad been proposed in Congress, impose
additional tariff duties on British manufactured
iron. Some members of Congress and many OF
the presses Of this country, at the time of the
publication of the British Minister'S note strong
iy animadverted upont as all improper and rep
rehensible interference with the business of
American legislation. An English journal, pub
fishing this note Of Sir Henry Lytton Rulwer,
says that, Sin the annals of diplomacy nothing
like it was ever heard Of, and declares that for
impudence it is matchless. The pertinent ques-
ton is put--which of the two parties is the Amer
ican Government to serve-their own citizens
or British subjects. "We believe" cotinues
this journal, "it is the duty Of every Government
to protect the interests of its own people--to be
just before they are generous. The citizens of
the republic are anxious TO improve and excel
in manufactures. 1t is laudable ambition and
it is the duty Of the Government to encourage,
promote and crafty il. This can only be done
by protection against foreign competition Un-
less protected, their infant enterprise must fail.
No nation ever yet reached eminenee IN
the arls without protection, and frequently to
the extent of prohibition; and the Americans may
depend upon il they have no chance of success
IN the Misunderstanding ofiron, unless they exclude
from their markets the manufactured iron OF tffs
country" # s s

From The Paris PreSse

AMERICAN MANUFACTUREs.-"The has late
y taken place at Paris, in one OF the rooms
of the Exchange, an exhibition Nt American
fabrics; and an examination OF these tissues may
rive an idea of the competition with which our
French products are threatened by the manuiac-
turers of the Union One OF our principle mer-
chants NJ Lefort Gonsselin, after examining
these specimens, has declared that American
industry has made immense progress, and that
the country bids fair 10 supplant, in the various
markets of The world, France, England and all
European States, in the sale OF cotton iabrlcs.
Nevertheless, if the Americans, having the ad-
vantage oil possessing the raw article, can afford
to sell cheaper than other nations they are still
an immense distance behind the French as re-
spects good taste, beauty Of patterns, the shade
and durability Of dyes. They will succeeds per-
hans. in driving us from the market, for the sale
of ordinary articles, for which we nave already
such formidable competitors, in the English; but
| it is the French manufactures who will continue
| to supply whatever is intended for the consump-
ton OF the easy classes. In l549 American
| fabrics consumed $4,000 bags; that is TO say.
/ l27 900 bags more than the French manufac-
lures used during the same year. ln the Uni
! ted States the cotton manufacture is concentra-
ted in six States-Maine, New Hampshire, Ver-
mont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Con-
necticut. These States count 729 establish.
ments in active operation, containing, 60,546
looms and 2.3l3,629 spindles. The hours o.
labor vary from eleven hours twenty-iour min
utes the minimum, to twelve hours forty-hye
minutes maximum. These establishments are
organized in the most perfect manner. Regu
larity, order and comfort, oil which we have nc
conception in France, prevail in them, The
working rooms are almost like converts. Mos
narticuEar care is taken to remove the slightes
idea of INSTRUMENTATION and immortality. In
stfuction and health are provided for with inces

aI'bus, OF the wnoie amount eApu, tr, .snLI
consumed at the high prices that have ruled
since September, England has taken but 45 per
cent. against 55 per cent. last year, while our
own manufactures have taken II per cent. more
than last year A considerable proportion Of the
demand which now exists in England arises from
a short time, reluctantly adopted by the spinners
as means which has often before succeeded in
breaking speculative market; but a larger pro.
portion is doubtless owing TO the fact of their
changing from coarse 10 fine yarn-an operation
which reduces the Quantity of cotton required
to keep certain number of spindles in opera
tion fully 80 per cent. The effect of this is,
however, to enhance the supply oe fine goods
and throw up entirely the competition with wes-
fern Europe and the United States in the pro-
duction of coarse goods and yarns. Hence we
find that while the English production Of coarse
goods is less, the French and the United States
manufacturers take more cotton thaneVe The
amount in the table taken by the latter is only
that after the Atlantic spinners bought at the
ports and does not embrace the increasing guam
fities wrought up in the interior The result
may be an over.supply Of fine goods and scar
civ of course. While Lancashire has been
holding back in the hope that the crop will be
2 400. 900 bales, and therefore enable them to
break down prices, New England has been pass
ing its production in the faith that the crop will
not reach 100000 bales, and that prices will
rise rather than fa,l. 1t is now evident, however
that under the most favorable circumstances, the
high figure can scarcely be reached /"

The Great Southern Staple Millions
Dependent upon Cotton.
THE OPERATIVES OF GREAT BRITAIN.


The Importance Of cotton to Great Britain can
scarcely be over estimated. A failure of the
crop, in this country, would prove a fearful ca
lamity to thousands and tens Of Thousands of hu-
man beings on the other side Of the Atlantic;
No two countries on the face of the globe have
sa deep an interest in each other or are so
thoroughly bound together in a commercial or
business point of view. A few facts will render
this quite apparent. In Lancashire, no less
than ti0o millions of souls are dependent, di-
rectly or indirectly upon the cotton trade
and manufacture. In Yorkshire, one million
61tr hundred thousand. In Lanarkshire, fire
hundred thousand or about four millions souls
in the districts! The reader will at once per-
ceive the immense influence which cotton HSay
be said to exercise upon the destinies Of laige
portion of the human family. The failure OF tbe
potato crop is fearful disaster for Ireland, as
has been recently illustrated
But potatoes are grown in various parts OF the
earth, and many articles can be used with ad-
vantage as a substitute failure of The
wheat crop in England is also serious disas-
ter, but wheat again is grown in abundance in
all regions Of temperate latitude, and thus the
deficiency in Great Britain is speedily supplied.
1t is not so with cotton. There is no known
substitute, while the great bulk Of this staple
that is manufactured by the millions Of operatives
10 whom we have just alluded, is the product
OF the Southern States of this Union. We
have already seen that the rapid increase Of
consumption compared with the production, has
had tendency to advance the rates TO an en-.
ormous extent. If this increase should contin-
ne, and if in some future year the crop should
fail wholly, or TO very serious extent, the
effect upon the manufacturing districts OF Great
Britain, would be truly distressing Under
these circumstances we cannot wonder at the
efforts of the statesmen and phianthroplstS of
England TO discover some new cotton growing
| region, some region that might be resorted to,
in the event Of difficulty with this country, or the
failure of our crop. A correspondent of the
Washington Union, alluding to this important
| subject, holds the annexed language
'rhis state of affairs has become perilous
The increase of capital and the Improvements
in machinery have brought England to a posi-
| ton in which she can work up more cotton than
is grown, and produce more cloth than is wan
ted Tie multiplication Of manufactures in the
| U. States and in Europe, is constantly narrow
ing her markets; and while her ability to manu-
facture is greater than ever, there is less demand
| for her services In this position the supply Of
cotton threatens TO be less than required by all
countries, leaving England but small proportion
Of what she requires to maintain her home trade

hWO"-BY ELIZA COOK.
Would ye learn the bravest thing
That man can ever do;
Would ye be an uncrowned king,
Absolute and true!
Would We seek to emulate
All we learn in story,
Of the moral, just and great,
Rich in real glory!
Would ye lose much bitter care
In your lot below!
Bravely speak out when and where
IT'S right to utter "No."
Learn to speak this little word
In its proper place
Let no timid doubt be heard,
Clothed with skeptic grace,
Let thy lips without disguise,
Boldly pour it out;
Though thousand dulcet lies
Keep lowering about
For be sure our hearts would lose
Future years of wo,
If our courage could refuse
The present hour with "No"
When temptations form would lead
To some pleasant wrong
When she tunes her hollow reed
To the syren's song
When she offers bribe and smile,
And our conscience feels
There is naught but shining guile
In the gifts she deals.
Then, oh! then let courage rise
To its strongest flow;
Slow that We are brave as wise,
And firmly answer NO"
Hearts that are too often given,
Like street merchandise
Hearts that like bought slaves are driven
In fair freedoms guise,
Ye that poison souls and mind
With perury's foul stains,
Ye who let the cold world bind
In joyless marriage chains,
Be true unto yourselves and God,
Let rank and fortune go;
If love light not the altar spot,
Let Feeling answer "No."
Men with goodly spirits blest,
Willing to do right,
Yet who stand with wavering breast
Beneath Persuasion's might,
When companions seek to taunt
Judgment into sin;
When the loud laugh fain would daunt
Your better voice within,
Oh! be sure ye'll never meet
More insidious foe;
But strike the coward to your feet,
By Reasons Watchword, "No."
All, how many thorns we wreathe
To tWine our broWS around,
By not knowing when to breathe
This important sound!
Many breast has rued the day
When it reckoned less
OF fruits upon the moral "Nay"
Than flowers upon the ''Yes."
Many sad repentant thought
Turns 10 ''long ago"
When a luckless fate was wrought
By want of saying No"
Few have learn'd to speak this word
When it should be spoken,
Resolution is deferred
Vows to virtue broken.
More of courage is required
This one word to say,
Than 10 stand where shots are fired
In the battle fray.
Use it ftly, and yell see

MAY be schooled and nobly ruled
By power to utter mo"

DurY OF LABoR.-No man can rise from
the worlxman's rank. Fall he may, and
often does, from that..state, but to rise above
the order the great God has established to
govern His world, is impossible. Every
man should be workman, and fill up
workman's rank. He must fill that or
loafer's. He who made the world, never
made a spot on it for an idler. He never
made man who was to live by his brains
alone, or such an one would have been all
brains. Body and soul. powers physical
