SOMETHING FOR FREE TRADERS TO ANSWER
Suppose we take the duty oil of iron as
the free traders desire, what would be the
result, We ask The wages are, for pud-
ding ton of iron in England, S2.374 in
Belgium, 5 20; in the United States s4.37t
gold. The average weekly earnings in gold
in the Unlied States are, ,$l6.5l in England,
$S 10; in France, $500, aud in Belgium,
5000. Tue price oi freight VD Il ION of iron
from either England, Belgium 81 France, to
New York, is not ms great as from Poiisyillc
to New York. Now cannot any person see
that with such competition, under free trade,
our Iron establishments must close or wages
must be- reduced TO the European rates !?
Recolleci that In England, France and Bel.
gium there are nearly as many iron establish
ments standing idle, for the want of market
for their products, as we have in the United
States. In England, Wales and Scotland
alone in 1867, out of 9l3 furnaces built, $50
were standing idle, while we produced in
1867 only l,46l,G26 tons against I,76l ,O2S
produced in England. BY starting these
furnaces, England alone could supply us
with quantity equal to our whole product.
Under free trade the ron business of the
United States would have to be abandoned
or wages reduced nearly one. half of tho
present rates.-Miner's journal.

Tue SECRETARY OF TIE NAVY has issue

Tue SECRETARY OF TIE NAVY has issued
his order, changing the names Of a number
of war vessels in accordance with the law
of Congress which requires ships of the first
class TO be named after States, and of the
second class after cities. Some of the
changes are good enough, as for instance,
Algoma to Bcnicia Amoonoosuc to Iowa !;
sIadawaska to Tennessee, (though one is as
much Indian MS the other); Minnetonka to
California Piscataqua 10 Delaware; Push
matuha to Cambridge; Wampanoag to Flori-
da. But TO reject Ontario for New York
Neshaminy for Arizona; and Omaha for
Astoria, is hardly mending the matter.
