THE METALS, &c.

As the States of Virginia and Pennsylvania are
| full to the brim of the dark ores--which are un
auestonably more to be relied upon as source oil
permanent wealth than the gold mines of Cali
fornia-we have been surprised at looking over the
statistics furnished by the predecessor Of Mr..
Secretary CoRwIN. They show that for the year
ending 3Oth June ls49, the imports of iron amount
ed to 80, 1875, and the imports OF manufactures
of iron and steel to S. 42s934. Thus will be seen
that we annually deprive ourselves Of the profit
upon upwards of $l3,000,000, and generously
throw it into the hands of foreigners. Great Bri-
tain comes in for about 81 100000 of these inn
ports, the country that charges US duty Of about
ST., 100000 per annum upon our exports of to-
bacco the home cost of which does not exceed
80, 100000. Now that the balance of trade is
greatly against us, the operation is simply this !:
We gire our gold for their irDn, with the full
knowledge that we have great deal more OF the
latter than the former. TO use homely phrase,
is not this cuthroat operation No one advo-
Gates high duties but surely something should be
done, and done speedily, to lessen enormous i'm
ports of iron.
So much on metals. A word as to wool. The
imports of this article for the year ending 30th
June, Is49, amounted to Sl,l77,347; of which
the value of about $770,O 900 came from the Argen-
tine Republic. which country imported from US only
about $4,000 of articles, all told. Now it APP
pears to us that if wool judciously protected,
the United States, especially Virginia, would soon
grow abundant supplies for all domestic purposes,
and probably have some left for export, instead Of
importing large quantities.
We might dilate on the subject of excessive i'm
ports Of such articles as we can manufacture and
grow to an unlimited amount, but argument is not
in our line we leave that to the Representatives of
the People, and take leave TO say that if all Of them
would base their speeches, when the tariff is on the
taps, upon facts and figures, the result Of their de-
alterations would, in our humble opinion, be OIL
greater advantage to the country Figures do not
lie and arguing against them is injurious to the best
interests of all The book containing the statistics
alluded to in this and our previous communication
is full of instruction. and every page is full of warn
ing. The day Of reckoning must come, sooner or
later; such day should be averted; " mastery in
activity" will not do in such a case.
