The Pennsylvanfa Iron Trade

There is no branch of industrial employment
more important TO Pennsylvania, in whatever light
IL may be viewed than the business Of iron making
and none that has been utterly crippled by the
runous free-trade policy Of the late administration.
When our iron establishments in successful ope-
ration, they not only give employment TO our peo-
ple but create market for produce, and throw
an immense amount of trade upon all our lines Of
improvement. They call forth simultaneously the
mineral and agricultural resources Of the State,
stimulate industry, render railroads and canals
productive, foster enterprises, and enrich both
State and people. Under the existing tariff, how
ever, all these have been checked by the prostrs-
ton of iron manufactures, consequent upon the
Introduction OF English iron Mt lower prices than IL
can be manufactured here and with all our natu-
raj advantages, and the large benefits which would
be 10 flow from wiser policy, the trade is Ian
gushing in fecbleness and inactivity. We glad
TO perceive, however, that the subject has been
presented 10 Congress in strong and forcble light
by our iron manufacturers, and with such informa.
ton as to the production cost and price, 10
vince all OF the groes and palpsblc injustice Of the
present tariff 10 this great interest.
The cost Of production in Great Britain Ia esti-
mated in their memorial to be not more than one
half Of what il lie in the United States The fuctu-
atoms in the price Of British iron great TO
defy all calculation. The average consumption Of
the United States for the next three years may be
taken at one million tons per snnum. Now the
Of this quantity in the British markets in IS43
would have been seventeen millions of dollars,
but in 1886 II would have been forty four millions
and in 1850 probably twenty five millions ofdolars
The range Of huctuation in English prices for the
past ten years exhibits these extremes Pig 80 %
and S27 36 per ton; bars, S22 so and SIS Is per
ton; showing variation from common mean Of
nearly 100 per cent, and difference, reckoning
from the lowest to the highest prices, of 200 per
cent In the United States 500 900 tons Of pig iron
annually produced, and the business connected
with the production gives employment TO $4,000
persons, and requires an expenditure in wages Of
$40 600, 900. In the full activity Of business one
hundred pounds of iron have been consumed for
each individual in the United States but had there
been no disturbing to lead 10 a decrease Of
the quantity used, the memorial estimates that the
average consumption 10 each inhsbitsnt would now
be two hundred pounds
These facts strikingly exhibit the importance
of this branch Of industry, and the advantages TO
the whole State and all classes Of people which
would flow from its proper encouragement and pro-
lection.

New YoRK TO DANIEL WEBsTER.-The follow
ing address to the Hon. Daniel Webster was circu-
lated yesterday only to limited extent, yet 1t re-
ceived very long list of signatures. Many more
will no doubt be added during to day, if opportu-
nifty for signing is given.
To the Hon. DANIEL WEBSTER, Senator Of the United
States, from Massachusetts,.
SIR The citizens of this commercial capital have
watched with deep solcitude the progress of social
and political movements, tending to arrangement
of feeling between the northern and southern sec
tons of our country, and threatening, II unchecked
to corrodc and weaken the bonds Of that Union,
which has created and maintained our power, pros
perity, and happiness nation. Connected by
most important and intimate relations with all parts
of our wide territory and seated at the confluence
of all the streams which from so diverse and distant
sources combine to swell the tide of our national
wealth, the citizens of New York have felt that as
posing evidences of the magnificent results of our
political system, 80 had they the nearest interest In
its permanence and security.
Upon this whole community imbued with these
feelings as to the welfare of the Union, and touched
with this socitude for its preservation, your recent
speech in the Senate of the United States has pro-
duced profound impression. The wisdom OF the
statesman which could discern the middle path OF
safetythe power of the intellect which could draw
from the very clements of strife the arguments of
peace and concord, and the eloquence which could
bend opposing minds and wills in obedience TO rea
son, have all attracted admiration yet we give
our highest ana slnCerest nOiIdRe 10 tuc ueNotSu
patriotism of the Senator which preferred to con-
suit the general and permanent welfare OF the ma
ton rather than become the stenuous advocate OF
section party. You have forborne, sir, TO yield
to the service of political party, to the purposes
of a geographical section, those powers which were
large enough for the whole country; and, speaking
from this great centre of public opinion, we feel
justified in saying that the country honors you
for il.
The State of Massachusetts, has. in noble ex-
preston Of public sentiment from its capital, APP
proved your course as its Senator We, sir hold no
other relation to you than that Of feowcitizens Of
the United States, yet we trust this testimony OF
our Joy and pride in the benefits you have con-
ferred upon our beloved country may not be unwcl-
come TO you. The fame of its public men Is the
best property Of people, and should be cordially
cherished; and in this spirit we deem IL our duty
1t is privilege, to acknowledge that to your
former honor the interpreter and defender Of the
Constitution, is added farther title to the
spect and gratitude of your countrymen as the adj
vocate and preserver Of the Union.
We have the honor to be, sir, your grateful
friends and felow-citizens.

the propriety Of holding the Nashville convention,

Of which is that in the Of the passage OF the

OF the seven Frees Sellers, four were elected by
Locofoco and Abolition coalitions, and, therefore,
the Locofoco majority may be fairly set down at
from sixteen to twenty-five.
We rejoice that Judge Hitchcock is elected on the
Reserve, Notwithstanding the bitter opposition,
raised by small beer politicians, against him. His
joint support by Wings and Democrats is a well de-
served compliment. Judge Lanes defeat will be a
loss to the State, and abroad will not add much to
the credit of his district Our list of the names OF
members is nearly complete, and we will publish il
shortly. The convention contains many men OF
ability. Judge Smith, the two Judges Hitchcock,
Gather and son. Judge Stillwell, Hon. Samson

Wing side; Judge Kennon, Judge Swan, Hon.
VIM, MedilI, VIM. J. Groesbeck, Judge Vance, r
