IRON WORKS IN THE UNITED STArEs-From
a table compiled by the American Iron Asso-
citation, exhibiting the number of iron works
idle and in operation, in the United States,
it appears that there are furnaces, rolling
mills or FORCES in twenty-five o: the States of
the Union, leaving but eight States destitute of
iron-works. These are Mississippi, Louisiana,
Florida, Texas, Iowa, Minnesota, California,
and Oregon-all upon the boundary or from

that the Steamtug could not control the tow

These produce annually about $50, 900 tons
of iron, the value of which, in an ordinary
year, is S50,000,000 of dollars. OF this
amount, the portion expended for labor alone
5 $4,000, 900. From u table prepared ny
iMr. Charles E. Smith. showing the duties
importations and price Of Liverpool each
year since 1910, it appears that under the
tariff of 1916 the increase in the import of
iron is more than ten times the increase in
the population, and more than thirty eight
times the increase in the domestic production.

A CARD.

1t is due to the subscribers of the National
Era TO state that the paper will continue 10 be
edited and published under the provision made
by its late editor and proprietor, in view of his
intended absence in Europe.
The Era will remain true to the principles it
mas always advocated. Writers Of eminent
ability will contribute to its editorial columns
Its literary department will be placed in able
hands, and no effort will be spared to make the
paper as nearly as possible what it has always
been.
The value OF the National Era as the repre-
sentative of free principles at the National Cap
ital and to the family of It's late editor as their
only available means of support, makes it my
imperative duty to continue its publication
without interruption.

The slave trade is popular in the Gull States,
but it can never be in the older and more
northern States, which are competitors with
Congo and Dahomey in the production of ne
groes for the Southern market. Here, then, is
an opening for strong opposition party in the
South. They should make the most of it. They
should denounce the trade on every ground
moral, political, and social. But if they admit
as many seem disposed to do, from mere moral
cowardiee, and habit of acquiescence in the
demands of Slavery, that the traffic is not OBJ
jectionable in moral point of view, they may
as well give over their opposition. To concede
that point, is to concede everything essential,
and to admit that the slave-traders have the
best of the argument. If it is not a high crime
to import and enslave the Africans, then the
South is right in demanding the repeal of the
laws which prohibit it,

overthrow the Ordinance of 1877, defeated
the Wilmot Proviso, procured a repeal OF the
Missouri Compromise, crushed out squatter
sovereignty, and procured decision rom the
Supreme Court placing slave property direct.
" under the agis of the Constitution
now we were warned to surrender all we had
aimed, lay down our arms, and capitulate to
the doctrine of non-action" and untriendly
legislation And this we were to do to save
the Democratic party. If the party could only
be saved on terms ike these he hoped it would
sink so low that the arm of resurrection would
never reach it. He advised his friends to per-
severe. He warned them that hesitation now
is desolation. He encouraged them to hope that
the star which had guided them in so many
paths of difficulty, would not set at this critical
moment. EverythiR, now depended on the
resoute determination of the South to have her
constitutional rights, as defined by the Supreme
Court, or sink the party, and, il needs De, the
Onion itself an the attempt.
"He had been asked, what we should do,
if an Abolitionist we're elected to the Presi-
dency. He replied by asking what others were
going to do TO prevent it. Of one thing he
felt certain the man who hesitated to demand
his rights at the risk of party, would never
demand them at the risk of the Union"
Upon the question of reviving the slave trade'
Mr.. Brown is not quite up to the Southern
standard. He has no scruples of conscience
on the subject; he thinks the Federal laws
which prohibit the traffic are too rigid, and
should be modified indeed, he would not OBJ
ject to having few of the Congo negroes, by
way of experiment. Still he breads an inun-
dation of African barbarism and in this con-
nection he gets off an exceedingly bold and
original comparison of the dreaded African
deluge of barbarism with the Inexperienced
Mississippi deluge of water. He rings the
changes upon this metaphor, and makes the
most of it upon the impossible minds of the
Terryites, who seem to have a wholesome
dread of the Father of Waters, and naturally
conclude that whatever is like unto it must be
dreadful.
But Mr.. Brown admits his shortcoming on
this question of barbaric foods, from associa-
ton with Mississippi floods, and gives assu-
rance nevertheless that his mind is progressive,
and may come to take more liberal view of
the natter We cannot doubt that his patriot
ism will rise to the high-water mark The
prevalent sentiment in the State is favorable
to the slave trade, and if the price of negroes
keeps up, there can be no doubt that the de-
mand for free trade in the article will overpower
all opposition.

EUROPEAN AFFAIRs.-We record meagre
particulars of another great battle between the
Allies and the Austrians The Austrians,
after desperate struggle, were worsted, and
compelled to retire before their antagonists.
The moral effect of the victory cannot yet be
appreciated on this side of the Atlantic; but it
is clear that the victory is far from being de-
cisive. The Austrians, besides being able to
draw off their forces, though with great loss,
have l75,000 of their best troops still in re
serve The French Emperor has banished all
the correspondents of newspapers from his
camp--a circumstance which would indicate
that his losses have been greater than he is
willing to admit. 1t may be, however, that he
objects to the publication of narrowing details,
as calculated to damp the spirit of the people,
more than the knowledge Of general results

through the crotch of the limb, while the boat
had caught some of the outer branches, and
this brought us to a little; but in another mo-
ment the Atlantic" pulled up her huge pro-
portions, and at one swoop away went the limb,
basket, and boat, into the air hundred feet,
and l was afraid some Of the crew were impaled
upon the scrags.
This limb, about eight inches thick at the
butt, and full Of branches, not weighing less
than six or eight hundred pounds, proved too
much for the atlantic" and it brought her
suddenly down upon the top of very tall tree,
and collapsed her. 1t was fearful plunge, but
it left us dangling between heaven and earth,
in the most sorrowful-looking plight of machin
cry that can be imagined.
None OF us were seriously injured, the many
cords, the strong hoop made of wood and iron,
and the close wieker-work basket, saving us
from harm, as long as the machinery hung to-
gether, and that could not have lasted two
minutes longer.

ty cannot be set down as one of them, and We
incline to the opinion, that Mr.. Helper has i'm
paired the utility of his book by deliberately
insisting upon a proposition which will revolt
the Shareholders, and only serve for merriment
with others. As a bantering offset to the
preposterous demands Of the shareholders upon
the Federal Government, it may do very we'll ;
but as serious proposition, il will injure rath
er than promote the object he has in view.
Mr.. Helper has been badly used by the
Shareholders, and it is evident that the asperity
which characterizes his book is traceable to
this source.
But the facts brought together in this volume
are invaluable, whatever may be said or thought
of the use that has been made of them. Few
books can be found embodying stronger ar
ray of facts and figures, and on this account
the work is worth two-fold the price which -
presume it will be sold for
