THE IRON 1NTEREsTs.-The Erie Dispatch says
that the diminution of the production Of manu-
iactur,d iron in this State and Ohio, by the
strikes and stoppage OF work, amounts 70 the
enormous quantity daily of 5000 kegs of nails
and 1000 tons OF iron. These figures look large,
but we are assured that they are very nearly =
correct The manufacturers positively assert
that they cannot possibly pay the wages de-
manded by the workmen, and are forced to stop
their works. Ii this state OF things continues
there must be an advance in price, which will
have depressing effect on the spring business.
Machinisus and builders would do we'll to pre-.
pare er such state OF affairs by securing their
stock as early as possible.

In CONGRESS-, yesterday, Mr.. O'NEIL,
Of our city, desired reform to be secured in
regard to the building which the Appraiser
of the goods which come to our port could
use as a warehouse, and suggested the pro-
priety of employing the old Pennsylvania
Bank as the centre of the official appraise-
ments OF Philadelphia commodities. As it at
present stands, this particular department of
the United States authority appears to us to
be without local habitation, although it has a
name. We can see no good reason why the
suggestion of Mr.. O'NEIL should not meet
the approval of the Committee. Retrench-
ment and reform are now the order of the
day, and why the Government should go to
the expense OF either erecting new building,
or renting, at an exorbitant cost, another one,
when one already within their control is lying
idle, is TO us inconceiyable. The position of
Appraiser is one of great interest to our Gov
eminent, as well as to our whole mercantile
community and it is only proper that some
commodious and central spot be selected,
where it would be convenient for our citizens
to attend, and at which we would not have to
blush as we pointed out to the foreigner the
building occupied by an influential officer of
our nation.y

AMERICAN STEAMSHIPS AND AMERICAN
STEAMSHIP LINEs.-The Commercial Ad-
Uertiser well says:-
at appears strange that, while the tonnage Of
the United States has increased to its present
large proportions, of all the line steamers that
voyage between this country and Europe but
two are American bottoms, namely, the ArdgO
ana fpitOT OF the New York and HRvre Line,
although years back there were three American
lines established at this port, running respec-
lively 10 Liverpool, Havre, and Bremen. The
LivCrUoOl tor collins LinuD was composed OF
the steamers AtlolltSc, Pdoifc. Arctic BTGsc, and
AGTidtic. The Hayre Line had the Franklin,
the BGaaLOldt, and the Bremen, the Washington,
and the He1nd@n. If foreigners can run sue
Cetstully lines OF frst.cass steamers why not
we? The idea that it cannot be done without
Governmental AID is scarcely feasible"
The facts here set forth merit the attention
OF our political economists. Why should
American companies purchase all their vessels
from foreign builders? Are we so under the
influence of European capital that we hold
the vessels Of each nation are of equal worth
and safety, and discrimination, if any, in
favor of the speed of our own built; that we
must purchase from foreigners what are lying
idle on our own doclSP
But, as Philadelphians, we have peculiar
disgrace. we lind that OF all oil the lines in
operation, not one from our port can be
found IN the list. The following are the
European lines at presens in operation

to the level from which the High School
raised it. Each grammar school would be an
Independent and separate institution. They
would have no common level. They would
have no generous emulation, and the depres-
sion of the whole system wonld be the inevl-
table result. We are therefore, most strenu-
ously opposed to its discontinuance. 1t Is at
present better managed 80 far as the PrIn-
cipal is concerned, than it has been within
the past ten years. and were 1t not for the
continual tampering of the Committee OF the
Controllers, its standard would be elevated
still higher.
Many of our readers do not know how the
wheels within wheels Of the Board are work
ing, ana we have not space to tell them here
At some future tine, when the interests of
the scnooI demand, we will make full expose
of how the "guides Of our educational system"
hold an inquisition, Scar Chamber council
and how all these actions tend to raise the
standard of popular learning. As it at pre-
sent stands we must congratulate the com
munity that a committee of thirteen, many of
them our first citizens, were appointed at the
Alumni meeting, who will watch with lynx
eyes any effort to destroy the school, and
reveal what lies behind the veil Of the motives
which govern the Controllers and also GER
tain of the professors of the institution.

PRICES COMING DowN.-The decline in prices
indcalcd by The market reports last week was
a good thing tor the people. The fall in cotton
during the week was ABOUT Eve cents pound,
equal TO two millions OF dollars on the stock
held in New York. Why should not paper, into
which cotton enters largely, fall as fast? Corn
declined five cents a bushel, amounting to two
hundred thousand collars on the supply held by
the dealers. Wheat iell three to five cents a
bushel. The enormous rise in rents cannot be
maintained in the mid I of this general subsl-
dence of values and these losses of Dealers
