New-York tribune., 1868-03-24

The Chicago Tribune is guilty of a thoroughly
dishonest pcrveTsion of Mr.. Abram S. Hewitt's
official report on Iron and Steel to our Govern
at Paris. 1t says:
"In the making OF iron IL appears from Mr. Hewitts
report that the European masters decidedly ahead OF
the American They manipulate the ores with more
and skill. They construct and manage their furnaces
better than do Their furnaces will hold blast three
or four times long ours and they more In
genious than in introducing labOr-savng machines,
such as the hydraulic for moving OF metal
They are ready to adopt valuable improvements,
and 70 undertake kinds OF work.
"lr. Hecu thinks that laes like these shou the necessity
Of Protection"
THE NEw-YoRK TRIBUNE has printed the
most essential portion of Mr. Hewitts Report.
which our Chicago namesake wholly suppresses
and grossly falsiies Mr.. Hewitt shows that
a tun of iron of giren quality SprOducedin in this
country chedpey-that is, with a smaller aver
age expenditure of labor-thdn in Europe and
that the main, controlling reason why Protec-
tion is needed is the far higher price of Labor
in this country than in Europe. In other words :
twenty days work produce rs much iron here
as twenty-five or thirty do in Europe; yet
American iron costs more money because the
labor which produces it is paid twice as much
as the like labor is paid in Europe. The
question of Protection, then is purely a ques-
tion of wages Do we choose to have (nominal-
wages full half9 Speaking for ourselves, we
answer No: we hold it wiser to pay American
wages to American iron-makers than to get
our Iron nominally cheaper at the cost of half
wages to the labOrer.

New-York tribune., 1868-03-24

The latest news received from the seat of
war in Paraguay announces great preparations
for an attack upon Humaita, the great strong
hold of the Paraguayans For the present the
situation of the Allies is anything but bright.
In Brazil riots have taken place in several
towns against compulsory enlistments, and Sc
ditious pamphlets against the Government have
appeared in Rio. In the Argentine Republic,
revolutionary agitation prevails in a number of
Provinces, and may lead at any time to serious
outbreaks. In Uruguay q movement against
the Dictator Flores was headed by the Dicta-
tors own son. Thus if the war should con-
tinue much longer, the Allies may expect
great deal of trouble at home
