FREE TRADE AND TIE IRON BUSINESS


FREE TRADE AND THE IRON BUSINESS.
The Rail Road Journal gives The following
exposition Of the working of the present,
Tariff upon the manufactures of Iron:
For number Of years The price of Iron
has ruled very low. The result has been
that most of our furnaces and rolling mills
have been closed, in other words, they have
been broken down 10y English competition.
As soon rs the English maker has effected
his object, and secured the market to him.
self, by breaking down the manufac' ures in
this country, he rnts M IS per cert, 10 a
figure mu:h above what iron can be manu-
factured for in this country, which we are
compelled to submit to, because we have no
other sources Of supply. We must pay his
price till we construct works and supply our
selves with domestic article. Bu, capi-
talsis have no inducement 10 commence the
manufacture in the presen; condition Of
things. II would require years before he
conld get fairly under way, and by that
time the foreign manufacturer, having made
good all his losses, and compensated for a
period OF low, by period Of high prices,
would drop down 10 the old mark, till he
shall again, as in years past, ruin grea, cs-
'ablishmeuis under way. The resul, is pr,-
suing good business in the long run, he
make money, and we, as necessary con.
sequence, pay high prices, yet still find this
great interest almost completely broken
down by foreign competition.

GEN. PIERCE AND GEN SCOTT

"Donkeys will be donkeys, even if The
vote OF an overwhelming majority should
declare them TO be horses. So of Mr.
Pierce--an amiable, kind hearted, worthy
and honorable man but no more 10 be
compared TO his defeated antagonist than
Saiyr to Hyperion"
The above, from the Danville Democra,
OF last week, is one of the curiosites of
political history which sometimes dcvelope
themselves after an election. Previous TO
the Presidential election, we were not sur
prised to see such exhibitions of fancy,
because 1t was necessary to shew, in order
to satisfy those who did not think gunpow-
der achievements constituted craftsmanship,
that General Scott's only qualifications
were not all based on his military abilities.
We can hardly believe, however, that
any intelligent man who possesses any
Knowledge of Gen. Pierce and Gen. Scott
would compare the latter with the former.
AS man Of learning, talent and statesman
ship, Gen. Pierce is as much superior 10
Gen. Scott as Daniel Webster was 10 the
most ordinary man in the Senate, or in 9TH
er words as much superior TO Scott IN
craftsmanship as Scott was to him in mill
tary affairs. II even anything was want
ing TO shew Gen. Scott's inferiority, out of
his profession, it was his late electioneering
speeches. These shew not only want of
talent but want of judgment and discretion.
We do not mention this TO the disparage-
ment OF Gen. Scott, but in justice TO Gen.
Pierce, whose modesty is only equaled by
his merits.

Scott as follows:
"of General Scott weshell say little. His
qualifications for the Presidency are pur-
ely military; and were he in that department
greater than the conqueror Of Napoleon, we
should hesitate to approach the ballot-box
in his favor. Nature seldom bestows two
great gifts upon one person. If she has CIV
en- him "the art Of war" which is generally
acknowledged, We think his consumate van
