The warm weather Of the past two days,
combined with the rise in the Missouri started the ice

Considerable damage also done to several other

The Belle Memphis valued Mt about $4,000
$4,000; its insurance was not known. The Prairie
Rose was worth $4,000 aud probably insured; and
the ferry boat valued at about $4,000.
About noon the steamer Nebraska aud ferry boat

A SHORT METHOD WITH FREE
TRADERS.

Mr.. ID. j. Morrell is an extensive producer of
Iron at Johnstown, Pa, whom The Erening
Post saw fit to have tilt with. Mr.. Morell
turns upon his assailant, and says III substance
"The question of Protection is purely Labor
question, since the cost of tun OF Iron rs almost
entirely made up Of the cost of the Labor which
produces it: / can make Iron as cheap as my
British rivals, if you will supply Inc with Labor
at the prices they pay; but, since have to pay
more than double, while the cost of transporting
nv IRON TO the great seaboard cities is about
the same as that Of bringing British Iron
from the producers to the same markets, can t
make Iron without Protection so long as l must
pay So per day for labor for which my British
rival pays less than 81. When ypn say Free
Trade, then, you mean either that | shall not
make Iron at all, or that my w0rlmen shall re-
ceive no higher wages than those employed by
nv British rivals: which is ii ~ 1t seems to
us that Mr.. Morrell-ihOugh business man
purely and not logician by trade-puts his
opponents into dilemma wherefrom they can
with difficulty extricate themselves.
The Erening Post undertakes to fence with
him. having been shamed into printing hisletter
by its appearance in The TRIBUNE long after it
had been sent to Tie Post. That journal cayils
that we have not printed recent Free Trade
letter from John Bright-a letter not addressed
to US. and which contains no sentiment nor idea
which we have not time and again published
and considered. The London Petition Of ls2O
or Mr.. Webster's speech of 1894 afford as
cogent arguments against Protection as Mr..
Bright's letter-in essence, the same arguments
but we find nothing in either that shakes Mr..
Morrell's position. Nor does The Post seem
even to grapple with it; though it gives Tin
substance) these reasons for the high cost of
American IRON
!. Though we have Ore, Coal, Peat and
Wood in abundance, "there is q prevailing
backwardness among American Iron.masters in
regard to the adoption Of the most economical
measures in their business"
2. "The practice Of paying extravsgsnt
salaries to the Presidents and other officers OF
stock companies engaged in the Iron busi.
ness."
8. "The exorbitant charge for royalty, and
other means Of obtaining excessive incomes
from lands containing coal and iron."

In the Senate, yesterday, petitions were pre-
sented rom citizens Of Arkansas, asking a ter

the relatively high cost of American Labor
are the real obstacles to the present production
of American Iron for as few dollars per tun as
British Iron would cost us under Free Trade.
Here. it seems to us Is basis for an
agreement between Free Traders and Protec-
tionists to which we would gladly be party
Weary of contention and antagonism, We
should like to be instrumental in closing one
controversy, so as to give greater scope to dis
cussions and investigations on other topics
which seem Of profound and pressing interest.
Now, then
There is nothing in the Tarf as it exists, or
is likely to be modified, with precludcs Free
Traders from entering into the production OF
Iron on equal terms with Piotectionists. Our
country abounds in Ore and Coal land which
can be bought "cheap as dirt'-very much OF 1t
now owned by Free Traders much more that
can be bought so that all th. raw material re-
Quired for the production Of each tun Of Iron
nothing in the Tariff, or the Protective Policy,
which requires, or in any wise constrans, those
VINO choose to make Iron to form largo compa-
Iiies, TO employ Presidents at large salaries, or
precludes their adopting every improvement in
Iron-making which has been or shall be devised.
We urge, then, the Free Traders, and
especially the members and hackers OF the
Free Trade Association recently organized in
our CITY. to take hold and make American Iron:
no, paying heavy royalties, nor exorbitant
salaries, but adopting all the improvements
which our present IrOn-maSters are charged
with neglecting We make no Iron, and
expect to make none; we buy some,
and will gladly buy of the Free Traders
if they will make it in this country.
where we can have Il chance to sell our journal
to their workmen. We know that the Free
Traders have capital in abundance; they have
talent; and good many of them already
possess all that knowledge and skill which our
present Iron-masters are charged with lacking.
And We pledge them that we will urge a repeal
Of the duty on imported Iron whenever they
will show that they are prepared in its absence
to supply the market with American Iron.
Why is not this fair offer! Why should it
not be thS end of controversy If the Free
Traders believe what is put forth in their behalf
by The Post, why should they not stop import
ing and 60 to making American Iron Even
they will not pretend that our Tariff forbids or
prevents it; and we can safely promise that it
shall be reduced so fast as they are prepared to
supply our markets with homemade Iron.

There seems to be some difficulty about the
admission of Colorado as a State into the Union.
The act Of Congress Of 2lst March, 1864, pro-
vided that on the adoption of the Constitution
the State should be admitted. The Constitu-
ton was rejected. In the Summer OF 1850 a
second Convention was called by the several
political committees and second Constitution
formed. This was adopted by small majority
of the voters. The action not being according
to the law of Congress, having differed IN time
and place from the provisions OF the act the
President declines to issue proclamation ad-
mtting the State, and refers the whole question
for the further action of Congress.

RAILWAYS TO THE PACIFIC.

Lieut.. Col. j. II. Simpson of the Engineer
Corps has made a report to the Interior Depart
ment in reference to the Pacific Railroads now
in process of construction. In compliance with
the act Of Congress of July l, 1862, and the sew
eral amendatory acts thereof six companies
have accepted the provisions Of the law and
have organized 10 build the roads and branches.
The Union Pacific Company is authorized to
build q road from the Tooth meridian to the
western boundary Of Nevada Territory, and also
from the western boundary of Iowa to the Tooth
meridian. W. Is. Ogden Of the Illinois Central
| is President of the Board of Commissioners
and Gen. John A. Dix Of the Road.
The construction began at Omaha, and the
grading Of 100 miles has been completed. 1t is
expected that go miles of the road Will COM
plcted by the latter part of January, and 100
miles by July. The Eastern Division of this
Road has also built 60 miles Of road but it does
not seem to have satisfied the demands
of the Interior Department. Some diff
Guilty seems to have arisen between its
management and the road under Gen.
Dix. The Board of Commissioners reported
that the portion of the road completed
was not perfect, and its President has promised
| to reform it, In case it should reach the Tooth
meridian before the Union Pacific, it may con-
tinuc its track until it meets the Central Pacific.
No bonds will be issued until this meridian is
reached. The Central Pacific road runs east from
Sacramento and will meet the Union branch at
or near Salt Lake City. The engineering on this
work will be stupendous. Onleaving Sacramento
it will cross the Sierra Ncvadas The first so miles
after leaving Sacramento carry it up to the west
crn slope of the Sierra Nevadas, attaining an
elevation Of z, 300 feet and including some of
the heaviest and most expensive grading of the
whole line. In some places, between Coliax
and Newcastle, the cuttings are about 20 feet
deep and from 500 to l,2OO feet long, through
hard rock or cement. The number of laborers
now at work is 10000. During the present
year the Company hopes to reach point called
the Turchee River 120 miles from Sacramento,
| 2, 900 feet above tide-water. Two tunnels are
being built near the summit Of the Sierras, one
l, 600 feet long, the other 900 feot long. The la.
borers are working night and day. The Atchson
branch is about TO complete the first section
Of 20 miles. and promsesto TO build the road in the
most substantial manner. The Sioux City and
Pacific Railroad is authorized to build road
from Sioux City to connect with the main line
Of the Union Pacific. The Burlington and
Missouri Company is authorized to run from the
Missouri River to sops braach On the UliOu
