TEMPERANCE AND LICENSE LAWS.

Whoever represents The Tribune as opposing the
enforcement of our present License Laws does grossly
msstate our position We insist that it is the duty Of
our CITY Authorities to enforce those laws so far as
practicable and we assert that they are grossly and
wlfully recreant to this duty. We should hail with
pleasure an energetic and resOlute attempt by our
CITY Authorities to enforce the License Laws, defec-
tive and vicious though they be.
But when thorough Temperance men are asked TO
abandon their efforts for NoLicense Law and devote
tbe;r energies to the enforcement Of such laws as we
have then the case is bravey altered For see tnaI

IRON.

For several years past the policy of our country,

Britain substantial monopoly in the production of Iron.
Her cheap yet skilfu and effective Labor her abundant

developed beds of Coal IRON and Lime, lying in admira
bic proximity to each other her unequaled command Of
Machinery Markets and Power have
aed her to produce Iron at lower cash price than any
rival could afford il while the concentration of the whole
worlds Trade on her seaports and manufactures gave
berextraordnary facilities for its transportation every
point where Iron is required. Buy where you can

100000 tuns in corresponding period of the operation

think no candid welnformed observer can doubt that
tbe average price of Iron in this country is cOnsd

40 stood unchanged and unpered to this day. and borne
IFS natural fruit in the increase of our product of
Iron during the year 1858, to at least Two Millions of
