This is enough for the present As the sea-
son advances and the different projects we have
alluded to become matured, the demand will
increase and as matterSf course. prices ex-
perience much greater Improvement. In the
face of this favorable and to the iron manu-
facturer, encouraging state Of things, with what
grace and justice can the cry for more protec-
ton be kept up? The rise in prices on the other
side is equal to an additional duty of full one
hundred per cent. What more can be desired!
The answer may be, that this enhancement of
prices is not permanent-that it cannot be de-
pended on-and it would therefore be dangerous
to embark capital in establishing iron manu-
factories upon such basis that the only qua
ranty is in high tariff, &C., &c. This is all
very well so far as it goes but it is very
contracted view to take Of the matter.
The world is all alive with enterprise The
production of gold in California and Australia
has given such an impetus to industry and
opened SO many new channels for commerce,
that legitimate demand has sprung up for all
the staple articles of agriculture and manufac-
ture far beyond anything ever before realized
in the history Of the world The progress of
improvement has been SO rapid that the re-
hottest corners of the universe have been OPEN
ed and the shrill whistle of the locomotive, the
spashing of steamships, the white sails of our
clipper ships have been heard and seen in
places which few years ago. were almost be-
yond the limits of civilization. In the extern
sion Of commerce; in additions to the commercial
marine of all the great maritime nations; in the
increase and distribution of populations; in the
contraction Of space by rapidity Of communica-
tion-in fact in everything calculated to aug
ment wealth, strengthen prosperity, extend
civilization and to build up magnificent sys-
tenn of commercial intercourse. which will open
every port and remove absurd restrictions more
progress has been made within the past five years
than in any previous century. The impetus all
this has given to the consumption particularly
of iron manufactures. is the direct cause of the
favorable change in prices we have recorded
above. The demand has overtaken the supply
and it will without doubt, soon outstrip it.
