The discussions growing out OF the discovery
of the stone giant In Onondaga County, New

who holds to tile theory OF its being petrfaction
and not statue, thus sums up the evidence in
support OF his vicws:

iolai cost IN currency at st. Louis.....S4o u
III now we deduct the Government
lmpost, Sl2 IL, we find that the ton
OF Scotch pig,if imported free ofdutv.
would cost when landed in ST. LouiS
$2S so.
Inc same pamphlet shows by sim
liaf detailed statements that the cost
OF ton at Pittsburg is from S27 gS
TO $50 az; at Youngstown about S25,
ana at Brazil about the same. Now
IRON from England cannot be landed
AT PIttshurg or at any other point
above Memphis, at less cost than if
can be supplied from our own fur
naces, and the quality of our iron is
better than that of the imported
variety, of which the Professor gives
The cost. What follows ? Simply
TINS, that in order TO prevent the iron
manufacture of our country moving
from the seaboard to the banks OF
the Mississippi, we sustain a tariff 40
nigh as to enable it to compete
even at the seaboard, successfully
with foreign importation. And
therefore, thus, far, it stays, or moves
westward but slowly. Now a tariff
for revenue only would reduce the
tax which the whole country has to
pay on iron, and at the same time
yield a larger revenue to the gov
ernment IT would rapidly drive the
IRON manufacture to seek its strong
est ana most permanent basis on
The banks OF our interior streams.
and 1T would there seedlly develope
that manufacture to such a degree
that we should soon be.able to supply
the seaboard itselfwith iron at much
lower prices than are now paid. Are
not these legitimate conclusions from
the facts stated ?

Including Alaska 7O,OOO)this area
contains about 2l0, 900 Indians.
More than sixty per cent. of the
whole territory of the United States
lies west of the Missouri proper.
without reference to that part which
lies west of the Mississippi below the
confluence of the two mighty rivers.
The whole of this territory is virtual
1y opened up to us ofthe East
by the Pacific Railroad, and will. ere
long, be actually opened up by its
branches. Thus more than ., 900 900
square miles, contained but 2.S per
cent. or 10 in 357 of the entire popu-
latioh of the United States and terri
tories in 1860. At present it contains
one-twenty-siXth part of the entire
population, the number being about
double what it was nine years age.
These figures will not necessarily
show what will be the growth of the
next nine years, but they do show
how much room and opportunity
exists for it, and no one can doubt

Will be too short rod to measure it
