The star of the north. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1849-1866, 1856-05-14

1RoN.--The price of iron is likely to be
high in the United States for many years to
come, which will have the effect of making
the trade very brisk and lucrative. The vast
system of railroads about to be established
in Russia, Turkey and India will require more
iron than perhaps England and the continent
Of Europe will be able TO supply. The In.
dian railroads will be supplied from England,
taking all the surplus iron she can produce.
Russia may supply considerable portion of
her own iron, but she must look abroad for
a large amount, and Turkey is entirely de.
pendent upon foreign production. Under
this state Of affairs our iron manufacturers
will have no occasion 10 contend with for
eign competition, but may soon be called
upon to assist in supplying foreign market.
Thus, after many ytars of contention, the
tariff question, as far as iron is concerned, is
TO be settled by the progressive tendency Of
the age.

No publisher excels Mr. T. B. Peterson in

The present one is 10 be printed with new

into the country over the river on last Tues.
day. They enjoyed themselves to their hearts,
content upon young natures beautiful carpet
