MANUFACTURES OF SWEDES IRON.

Tho letter upon the manufacture OF Swedcs

ton of steel and iron of unsurpassed excel

Americans, the most wasteful people on the
earth. will not smelt ores with charcoal, unless
made out of hard wood. In Northern Michi'

midst of deposits of the richest iron ores
we leave the spruce, pine, and tamarnc To
stand, to rot, to burn, utterly despising them
as fuel. See how the Swedes get rich out OF
them, and with their aid contribute to the
wealth of the world product of perfect iron
Sweden gets rich by making steel with what
we stupidity hurry to convert into ashes.
American wOrkingmen, the fifty-fOur cents
a day wages paid to skilled labor in the iron
rolling mills of Sweden deserves your thought
full attention. There il where British Free
Trade would bring you. The question of Pro
lection is your question. 1t is the question OF
maintaining your wages up ut the comfort rate
and the rate of Independence, against compe-
titon with the low wages of the pauperized
aud enslaved laborers of Europe. TO you
British Free Trade is fifty-four cents day.
To the foreign importer it is fifty-fonr thou
sand dollars year-aye, and to some importers
and "Revenuc Reformers" it is five hundred

PROTECTION md THE WORKINGAfdN.

Many an elaborate and specOus hypothesis
has been signally refuted by some bOmely fact
IL il well that this is 80. Seeing that the un-
learned greatly Outnumber the learned, the
masses Of mankind would be almost at the
mercy OF theorists and spectators but for such
easily understood and most conclusive tests.
The British policy of Free Trade which is now
commended TO tho county by tho Democratic
party, the paid agent Of foreign manufactur-
era, is one which ingenious and plausible
takers find it possible to disguise and sugar
coat to popular audiences. WOrkngmen are
appealed to az cODsumers--never as producers;
and, for tho sake Of sOmo paltry saving in one
relation, they are advised to make themselves
paupers in the other How trutbfu'ly was
the condition in which they arc invited to
place themselves foreshadOwed by the frank
and genial Irishman who, on being told that
the price Of chicken was twO-and-sxpence
exclaimed: "Wby, could buy them at home
"for sixpencep "Why did you not stay
"there and buy them ~ was the retOrt. BE
"cause,r said Pat, there were no sixpences''
This illustrates the whole matter. 1t is quito
possible that Tammany and the European
manufacturers might reduce the price of chick
ems 10 5hptUCt, hUu lii'iJ 10 uit Vh'J N'''' Wv
but it will be well for the other side to con-
slider where the sixpences are to come from
wherewith to buy them. 1t is not unlikely
that many workiDgman, who came hither
solely to escape the competition Of ill-paId
labor abroad will be beguiled into voting for
the practical importation 10 this country OF
the very same competition. 1t may seem to
him that the three thousand or moro miles
which intervene between the shop in which
he once wrought and that wherein he now
works will in some way serve as protection
but they will not. BY means OF improved
methods Of ocean navigation, the products OF
the distant workshop may be for sale in the
hands Of New-YOrk agents within ten or fiji
teen days after they have left those OF the
workman and he will find himself confronted
by the poorly paid labor Of Europe at his own
door-not at a distance. Let such man ask
himself what he will have gained by coming
here, if he uses his citizenship to reproduce In
his adopted country the same condition OF
affairs which drove him from the land OF his
fathers.

from the outset, we have insisted that the
movement which disguised its purpose under
the equivocal phrase "Revenue Reform pnr-
posed the overthrow and ruin OF the Kepubli-
can party. The engineers of this movement
I'm spite of their pretenses never expected 70
carry it through the Republican organization
but over it. They did not expect to convince
and convert. nor even to bully the Republicans
into aoouiescence in their policy-they meant
only to alienate enough Republicans from their
party to secure triumph to the Democrats
and thus achieve the downfall OF the ProtectiVe
policy. Their game in Missouri foreshndows That
which they mean to play in our next election OF
President. Having been fairly outnumbered
in the Republican State Convention, they
boted and set up an opposition ticket, which
they had no hope of electing otherwise than
by the solid Democratic vote-as they nave
elected it. Though they carried of with them
half our politicians and our only journal which
circulates throughout the State, they have not
polled quarter of the Republican vote; but
this suf1lced, when combined with the whole
Democratic strength, to carry the State. And
now we are exultingly told that they purpose
to repeat the operation in organizing the next

Disappointing 10 some respects as the result
Of the election in Maryland has proved, 1t Is
nevertheless in others a most encouraging sign
for the future. Hitherto, Maryland has been
hopelessly controlled by the Sham Democracy.
The Republican party there was simply q
gallant but hopeless faction-a mere color
guard, strong enough to keep mp the Tag
but not % maintain contest. AT last 1t Is
live, formidable organization, becoming in
reality contesting party for the. control of
the State. If il is inspired by policy wise,
liberal and just, and is led by men who fifty
represent it, it may well aspire, within year
or two, to the utter overthrow of the dOmi-
nant party. The defeat in the WITH and With
Districts last Tuesday was discOuraging; but
it was due to the detection of white Republi-
cans, not to any lack of fidelity or unity of
effort among the enfranchised blacks. What
our Republican friends in Maryland now want
il an understanding that the State is only
large enough for one Republican party, not
for two. When they abandon their trials of
skill at cross purposes, they can bear the flag
of Maryland Republicanism TO victory, and
cast the electoral vote of the State for the
Republican candidate. for the Presidency in

FISK .Jr e co

The full measure Of the indebtedness OF the
American people to Fisk, jr., and his gang Is not
yet generally apprehended. Here is an extract
from q letter written by a great English
banker to ON American equally eminent, which
will perhaps place 10 clearer light the obi
cations We are under to the obese and expen-
sive incubus who broods, bedamonded and
harlot- engirt, upon the corpse of the Railroad
from which he has pressed the life:

with It's Enclosures and regret that the temper OF the En-
gsh public owing 10 the Erie scandals. &C.. L. for the
moment such to render the chances Of bringing
American undertaking before them with exceed
ingly remote.
The leading journals are also dead against such
terprise and fear that this feeling likely TO continue
until Messrs Fisk and Gould shall have been ousted 10y
law from their present position The same reasons which
preclude me from assisting you also prevent from
suggesting likely channel for the negotiation OF the
business yeu PROPOSE should everywhere meet with
the same answer"
OF course there Is no British capital for
American investment while Fisk, jr., and Gould
rule. Why should foreigners part with their
money merely that one fat, esurient adyenturer
might add another dancer to his harem,
and his leaner and less OstentatiOus col
league pile few millions more on
evil millions already accumulated. They
won't do it; that is apparent. We
have got to look TO other sources for the
money which, for the last ten years, has kept
speculation at fever heat and drawn myriads
of men from useful industries, In the hope of
getting rich without rendering any service for
the riches We can't well look to France just
now. And Germany has some rather pressing
domestic expenditures at present, which ab
sorb all her loose change, 40 that it is apparent
we have ourselves got to find whatever money
we want to gamble with for some years to
come.
This may drive few thousand curb
stone brokers out of the street into
some less ornamental but more useful
arena Of effort. II may upset some
of the larger operators for rise or fall.
1t may, in fact, and we think it will. assist in
bringing us back to some more or less distinct
recognition Of where we stand-of how much
we have gOt-of how much wo 0we--Of the
relation which our enterprises finished and
unfinished. bear TO our available capital. We
have got to face this question sooner or later,
and the withdrawal OF foreign capital
from American investment will tend to
precipitate it. The Fisk, jr., gang once en-
barked in q conspiracy TO wreck the finances
of the country, in order that they might make
a successful gold operation. They failed in
that, but their evil renown may yet infiict
upon us a deeper injury than that with which
Black Friday threatened us.
