The Iron Interest.

In l842, under low Tariff, the imporla.
tion of Iron TO the Un,ed SiaIes was 80..
293 ions. In 1874, after the Tariff of l842
had gone fully into effect, it was feduced 10
1886 tons, and 1846 10 1926 ,ons. The
Democrats had the power ia 1846sand made
a Tariff TO suit themselves. reducing il, and
substituting ad valorem for specific duties.
The effect of this Democra,ic measure
was large increase Of The imporlalions, and
corresponding decrease of the quantity
manufactured in the United Slale& In 1847
the imporlaIions rose 10 55,462 loils; in 1848
10 1873, 1921 IONS; in 1919 10 278 O89; in 1850
TO 337 ,532; and ia 1851 10 349,7a0 IONS
In 1842 there were 100000 ,ons of Iron
manufactured in The Uhiled S,ates IN 844,
$4,000 tons; in 1916. 765,000ion Afler
ihis, the Tariff of 1846 being III operation,
the quantity manufactured lell off each year
in l849 10 $50 900 tons; in 1850 10 564,-
900 tons; and in 1851 10 413,OO0 IONS.
These figures show, in contrast, The ope-
ration of the Tariff Of 1842 and that of the
Tariff of 1896 The tendency Of the former
is 10 limi. importation, and increase produc.
ZION; he tendency Of The latter is 10 increase
importation, and diminish production. If it
be wise and polite 10 buy our Iron and other
manufactures abroad, rather than 10 make
them a, home. then is the Democratic Tariff
policy preferable 10 the Wing policy.
These figures also account for the interest
taken by the London Times, in the pending
Presidential contest, and the hearty wishes
expressed by that paper for The success Of
Gen. Pierce.-RipIey Bee.

The Southern Press

Is deadl We are glad Of ii. While its
editorial course has been generally marked
with ability and dignity, il has published the
most glaring, open and reasonable articles
aguins, our Union thuI have ever YET seen
the light Of day in this country. 1t has Ia
bured to encourage and promote the cause
of disunion, by constant appeals and argu.
ments addressed to the save-holdels Of The
South. The reasonable Nashville Conven-
tion found q defender and advocate in The
Southern Press. The Convention and its
defender went further, infinitely, than did
the famous Hartford Convention, TO recon.
mend and urge the dissolution Of the Union
If they are ever connected, the N Nashville
Convention should have The preference.
But the auachmen, Of the American peo.
pie to the Union has been too strong for the
assaults of The "Press." The Union stands
and will continue TO stand. while The South
ern Press has ceased 10 exist. May it evel
be thus with The foes of the Union.
The senior editor, Ewood Fisher, states
that there are FORTY THOUSAND dollars due
the office, from subscribers, &c. But ever
the receipt Of this entire sum would no
compensate for The expense, Liabilities anc
labor bestowed upon the paper. The Soulf
had promised largely to sustain it by liberia
contributions; but, with tho exception o
seuen thousand dollars from South Carolina
not one of these pledges has been redeem

Gerrl Smith, an homes, and benevolent, bu
infatuated man, has lately been compelle

The Reason for Supporting Him

The folowings an extract from speech
made by Judge H. V. Johnson at Locoro-
co meeting in Macon. Ga. The principal
inducement that he held out for supporting
Pierce, was his fierce hostility TO River and
Harbor Improvements. For once q Loco(o.
co orator was not obliged 10 mistake laclS
in order 10 make out his case. If man is
opposed TO all Improvements, it is plainly
his duty to support Pierce and King.
"Regarding il as unconstitutional, he neu-
er tdUored appropriations for roads, riuerS
and harborS. cannot, OF course, enter into q
detailed reference 10 particular votes, One OF
two mus, suffice as specimens In June,
1886, whilst he was member Of the House
Of Representatives, bill was introduced
making large appropriation fir the conlin.
uatio6 of the Cumberland rodd. On the
final vo,e his name stands recorded among
the nays.
Again. in 1888, whilst he was in The Sen
ale OF the United STATES, he gave simiIaI
vote against bill for precisely the same
purpose.

and Unprecedented exnavagance.

Without cause, we refer our readers 10 The
laws just published throughout the State, by
both Wing and Democratic Journals. They
wi there see, by comparing appropriations
of that body with those Of former Legisla-
lures, the unwarranted exravagance Of the
latter.
The total appropriations during the ses-
sion OF 1850 81 amounted to 1868, ,120.-
In this sum il will be remembered that The
expenses of the Constitutional Convention
were included-or nj least an appropriation
for that purpose Of $4,000 was made.
During the sitting Of the last Legislature,
known to be as void orprinciple as that, the
total appropriations amounted 10 $740,8l4,-
8ol JUST $379 686 80 more than that Of
The preceding Legislature, expenses Of the
Constitutional Convention and all.

Some very funny mistakes arise from

brings hay 10 this marke, for sale, and has
often disposed of it 10 the firm Of Hawkins &
Pierce, livery stable keepers, came in few
days after the, Locofoco nominations were
made. and being anxious TO know who the
candidate Of his party was, inquired of a
friend for ,ha, Information, and was told that
il was Pierce. "We,l," said The old gen.
