at its true standard. Of value. If q bar of iron
got out of the mines 10 England, and bar Of
iron taken from tie mines III PepnsylvaEia,
can be produced at The same cost, il follows
that il the English bar be shipped from Maa-
chester TO Pttsburg, and the American bar
from Pittsturg to Manchester, the cost OF
carriage is aFprecably lost. Laughter.l If
we had not iron here, ;hen we should encourage
the shipment from foreign country, but not

proposition. that ii any article can be produced

the nation is 10 such a low condition at present
that this subject now demands the attention of
Congress, aud will demand the immediate con.

Of the National Legsiiturc, no subject should en-
