dc. formerly Of little or no value. Every
new furnace erected and set to work in the
West tends to promote invention, discovery,
cheapness, perfection in Iron-making and
thus cheaper the product without cheaper
ing the Labor required by it. We have not
a doubt that, had the Tariff of 1898 been
permitted to stand to this day, the Valley of
the Ohio and Mississippi would have been
supplied by this time with Iron and Cloth
at one-half the present actual cost in labor
and its products, and that their consump-
ton of both would have been immensely in
creased.
We have been Immediately impelled to
these observations by reading No. IL for
June of "The Plor, The Loom and The

azine, which is enriched from month to
month with successive chapters of Mr.. II.
c. CAREY's new and admirable essay on
Public Economy entitled The Harmony Of
Interests" This work ought to be studied
by every thinker in the land it ought to DO
diiiused, by concerted effort, through ey-
cry Post-Othee, into every school district of
the Union. Since the days Of Hezekiah
Niles and Matthew Carey, we have had
nothing calculated 10 effect more good than
Col. SINNERS Magazine with Mr.. Carey's
essays; and if one hundred thousand copies
of it were now taken and read throughout
the Country, every cent Of its cost would add a
dollar to the permanent wealth Of the Nation.
We cannot often find room for elaborate es-
says on National Economy, but we shall to-
day force room for an extended extract from
Chap. XII. of Mr.. Carey's essay in tho No.

sands to send for The Plow, the Loom and
the Anvil, and we hope to raise clubs for il.
