We have endeayored to demonstrate by facts and
plain practical experience, what tie effect Of the
Pennsylvania. II needs no argumD mt in support Of
these facts 10 show what enterprise and large bene
fits 10 the people Of the whole State characterized
this department OF our internal industry under the
fostering Of the tariff Of 1912, much less 10
tablish the fact that the enactment Of the present
tariff fell upon this important interest with blight
ing, whitening, desolating influence We have al
ready stated that in the vicinity Of Duncans Island
six furnaces have been closed while but furnace
and one rolling mill remain in operation. The same
state things manifest in all the iron making
tons Of the State, and in strikingly than
in the counties around Allegheny. In that section,
embracing the counties Of Clarion, Armstrong, and
Nenango, about thirty new furnaces we're built be.
tween the passage Of the act Of 1912 and that OF
1876, and business was prosecuted with great ac-
tivity and success, stimulating and invigorating
every branch Of trade and commerce coming in
contact with IL. Now, However, seven furnaces in
Clarion county out of blast, many Of them un-
der levy by the sheriff; and those which continue
in operation, some eight nine, we believe,
elusive Of those connected with rolling mills, do
because they had their stocks prepared last winter
These will continue TO blow the next season, but
without an improvement in prices will not renew
their stocks.
SO also in Armstrong county. Here six furnaces
have resulted in the total failure Of their owners
and only four, believe, continue in blast. In
venango county, out Of some seventeen or eighteen
furnaces that were in successful and prosperous
operation when the tariff Of 40 was enacted, only
four arc now in blast, most Of the remainder hav-
| ing been sold out by the sheriff, and now lying
without any preparation for fire. OF the four st
blowing, two are working up the stocks on hand,
without any expectation Of continuing operations.
| during the next season.
We have here a fair and honest but most melan-
choly picture of the iron business In Pennsylvania
at the present time. In these three counties, Ga
L rion, Venango, and Armstrong, there are scarcely
twenty furnaces in blast, and after next season,
without materially improved market, the num-
Der will be reduced to six seven, and five OF these
belong TO connected with rolling mills, so
| that their metal is seldom or never in market.
These will continue in blast under any state Of the
market so long as tho rolling mill owners find
/ sale for their product.

BY which il appears that we furnished osE-sIxTH
part only Of the whole importation-a result which,
considering the abundance and low prices on this
side during the whole year, is even below our anti
cipation.
The low prices which ruled through the year,
and the gradual decline from the beginning TO the
end Of il, teach another important lesson, to wit
that Europe is able and anxious TO furnish for
the English market, 10 any extent, at prices which
are not remuneraiive TO us and that, have
before sard, can never have any real benefit
from those markets unless, as in al, there Is

The value Of those shipments-we do not mean
the declared value, but the actual net proceeds
we estimate at $1,000, 900 and this includes, we
presume, all the Canadian wheat winch has passed
through ports. IL is but fair 10 state, however,
that so far own ships have been employed in
the trade, we have derived some further advantage
from tiff il can be called advantage 10 carry
frcights in competition with British ships at the
prices which have been current for the past year
The value Of our imports from Great Britain in
lS4S, Of calico alone, was over Sl2,000,0O0. For
but we Judge, from the exultant tone Of the free
trade organs, and from the increased revenue, that
