$4,000 900 more of American farm products and
about $12,OO0,0O0 more of American manufac-
lures than we now have. While produced
abroad, not one-tenth of one per cont of its
cost is paid for American products of whatever
kind If produced here, both the iron and the
price paid for it would remain part Of our ma
tonal wealth. If produced abroad and imported,
the iron becomes ours, but the price we pay
for it is an annual drain or the wealth of the
nation; and its production abroad, while it may
be produced with so much less labor here, is an
annual drain on the industry of the world.
Let no American statesman contend that we
are to attempt to compete with foreign manu-
facturers by reducing the labOrer here to the
low condition lie occupies there. Let us rather
compel the, transfer of the labor and capital of
Europe to this country, thus cmancipating them
from bondage and ourselves from dependence
on the Old World.
The facts and conclusions of Mr.. Hewitt's re-
port are the more valuable since they come from
a Democrat" in politics, and are incidental to
the main object Of his report, which is to de-
scribe the present condition of iron and steel
manufactures throughout the world.

The long expected resignation of Earl
Derby as Prime Minister has, at length,
taken place. He is succeeded, not as was
some time ago announced, by his son,
Lord Stanley, but by the Right Hon. Benjamin
Disracli, the leader of the party in the House
Of Commons. The change is likely to have a
considerable influence upon the fate of the Tory
party. No one can doubt the consummate
ability of Disraei as politician and party
leader, but his loyalty to the distinctive princi-
pies of the Tories is nowhere doubted so much
as within the ranks of his own party. During
the late debate on the Reform bill, several of the
Incorporating members of the Cabinet pre-
ferred resignation TO accepting the concessions
which Disraeli induced his party to make to
the Reformers, and any similar move the new
Premier may show himself ready to make will
be followed by the same detection

the 18th mat. The Board adops' ed a<sssoiu-

the Common Council, providing for the paving
of 10000 yards on Seventh-ave., between Four

which has never been laid either here or else
where as On experiment or otherwise. A SINH
lar pavement known as the Hexagon Block.
was used here twenty years ago, and proved q
disastrous failure. This "jObr takes its root
as far back as the 10Th inst. when resolu-
ton of the Board of Aldermen, providing for
the paving of Twenty -second-st., from First To
Sixth-ave., with Belgian pavement, was amended
in the Board of Councimen by the substita-
ton Of the word Stafford for Belgian y

paving of Fifty-sixth-st. from Third to Fifth

The experiment is altogether too costly, and
we cannot believe that the property-owners ON
Seventh-ave. and other streets are willing ts
be assessed for pavement the durability of

for a single block, and then decide on its
merits ? Mayor Hoffman saw fit to veto tho

IMPEAcHMENr rs PEACE.

! Impeachment has gone beyond newspaper dis
| cussion. Nothing we may say can have any in
fluence on the decision, for that decision rests
with grave and impartial judges, who will de-
eide according to the law and evidence Al
though impeachment is an adjourned question,
it is new to the people They scarcely under
stand it, II has been lowering over them like
dad, revolving star" with evil omen, and
fOrebOdings of national calamity. 1t is to dispel
these feelings, and endeavor in a small way to
educate the people to the proper appreciation
of the solemn duty that we continue to
discuss q question that now rests with the
high court of the nation.
Impeachment is peace. The thousand rumors
of war are of no more consequence than the
snow flakes which darken the air. We shall
have no fighting. Here in New-York, some Of
Our Five Points denizens, deep in their cups,
and fresh from the last prize-6ght, are threat
ening to go TO Washington and assist the
President in dispensing Congress. We have GER
tain heroes of the July riots-the murderers of
fugitive negroes, and the burners Of orphan
asylums-who would he delighted to aid the
President in sacking the Sub Treasury. We
have seen no one really. anxious to fight but
Mr.. Brooks, and no one really expecting q
fight but Mr.. Raymond. The Wall-st. people
are quick to scent trouble. Money is
the first influence to feel panic Yet
Wall-st maintains surprising eQrlanimity. Amid
the agitation of the last five days, gold has
merely ranged from 40 to 14S The danger of
war; therefore, has the mercantile value of
three per cent This is the feeling among the
moneyed classes. If we were at liberty to print
assurances which have come to the editor of
this paper, it would be seen that the wealthieSt,
the most conservative, the most timid of our
citizens are strenuOusy in favor of impeach-
ment. Men who control millions, and whose
interests are widely spread over land and sea,
unite with us in the prayer that Congress may
speedily give us peace by removing an unfaith-
full President
Impeachment is reconstruction. A large
part of the Union is in condition of
anarchy and unrest The pillow rests in the
fuurow-the hammer rusts on the anvil-loyal
men steal through highway and forest like
thieves in the night Rebels triumphantly defy
the law. There is no safety in the South, no

ROBERT j. WALKER on THE Law


We print below, and desire to call TO the es-
pecal attention Of The World aud The Times,
an extract from an opinion of the Hon.
Robert j. Walker upon the Presidents right
to decide upOn the cOnstitutionality of lave

crat, and stands high in the confidence of the
President. He is learned in the law, and this
is the way inswhich he disposes of the sophis-
Try of The Times:
II called" says Mr. Walker upon Gen. Thomas
early on Saturday morning at the War Office, aud
communicated to him in friendly way my opinion
that any such order would be nullty, aud would
subject him TO serious consequences especially if any
such collision should occur. told him that he had
no right nor had the President 10 dsOJey ld1 Of Con-

The Democratic Assembly of NewJcrsey
yesterday discovered that the country is in
q" a condition of peril and surrounded by a
condition of affairs which may precipitate a
revolution at any moment" whereupon they
directed the Committee on Militia to inquire
" and report the number, caliber and condition
" of the ordnance and ordnance stores in pos
session and under the control Of the Quarter
master General" The next thing in order
will probably be proclamation from Militia
Maior-Gen. Theodore RunyOn. Truly, we live
in perilous times. 1t is singular that the tele-
graph fails to inform us of the effect Of this
news in Washington. The effect here was
alarming, as a number of suffers and ex-
quartermasters left this city for Trenton on
the midnight train.

The negotiations between the United States
and the North German Confederation, concern
ing the rights of naturalzed citizens of the
United States, have been brought to salts
factory issue. The Confederation recognizes all
the claims of the American Government. Nat
uralized Germans will, henceforth, on their no
turn to Germany, enjoy the same rights as ma
tive Americans and will be free from those
annoyances to which they have heretofore, in
many eases, been subjected. AS the disregard
of the rights of naturalized Americans, on the
part of the German governments, has been Tor
many years back the only cause Of Disagree
ment between the two countries, there Is now
reason to expect the permanent establishments
of the most friendly relations between Germany
and the United States. BY readily abandoning
the prejudices of former German statesmen on
this question, Count Bismarck has given another
proof of his craftsmanship. The North German
Confederation, by adhering to the former laws,
could not possibly secure any advantage. Tho
influence of these laws upon immigration was
unimportant, while on the other hand they
must necessarily lead to endless troubles with
the United States to troubles, moreover, In
which the large majority of the German peo-
pie sympatbized with the position OF the
United States. :.

THE FEELING. ABOUT IMPEACHMENT
Br TELEGRAPH 70 raH TRIBUNE

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is, 1908.
You will find the speeches in the House on
impeachment on the Republican side very able
and conclusive, and in all the leading cases
very unimpassioned. The feeling in favor OF
impeachment grows stronger SO far. The con-
victiOn spreads among moderate and iudicieus
people that the only way to secure the public
tranquility is to remove the President who baa
so long persisted and still obstinately persists
in disturbing the public peace. 1t is felt that
the feverish evaporation maintained by per-
sistent Executive malfeasance, is most PERM
cious, and that high public considerations de-
mand that it be ended in the only way it Is
possible to end it. The lawyers have narrowed
down pretty generally into this, that the legal
question to be settled in regard to the Last
offense Of the President is whether he is guilty
of mistaken construction or intentional violation
of the laws. The room for doubt on this hand
would seem to be small. J.s.P.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1868-02-26

Congress dare not await the decision of tho supreme
Court which would probably deprive them Of 81 color
able ground for Impeachment. The indecent haste Of
their proceedings betrays consciousness that their
cause is too rotten to pass the ordeal Of judicial In
qury-tworld.
Congress did not break the law, it did not
remove Mr.. Stanton, it was perfectly willing 10
"await the decision of the Supreme Court" or
of any court. The indecent haste" was tho
Presidents Congress either had to protect it,
laws or stop legislation and go home.
