Steel In ENGLAND and Pennsylvania.

! The New York Post free trade) SAYS
The Scottish foundries have had more or
ders for pig iron than they could supply
for months past, and have been declining
orders. The shipments to this country,
both to New York and Philadelphia, seem
to have been unusually large, indicating a
good business here as well as there. An
immense establishment is building at Cam
'buslang, near Glasgow, by company (the
leader of which is one of the richest and
most enterprsing men in Glasgow to con-
vert Scottish pig iron into steel. 1t is there
hoped that the plan to be adopted will as
far surpass the Pennsylvania process in ex-
cellence and cheapness as the American
process now surpasses the British, and
thus enable Observation-Disclosures to crush
the growing competition of Pittsburg,
loaded, as our workers are, with the dead
weight of protection.
Another establishment for similar pur-
pose is building near Swansea, in Eng
land. In this will be used the Siamans
furnace, in which the metal can be kept
simmering in a state of fusion while UNDER
going certain operations, by which it is
hoped to turn out steel superior to anything
which Krupp or Bessemer has produced,
for varied excellence and for cheapness.---
Rails of this steel, the owners think, will
have eight or ten times the durability of
iron rails, instead of six times, as common
steel rails have, while the cost will be con-
siderably reduced.
Both these enterprises, there is little
doubt, have been stimulated by, if they
do not owe their origin entirely to, the fact
t,ot ~,
with Sheffield, even in England, in the sale
of edged tools. This success has been due
partly to the excellence and cheapness of
her steel, but chiefly to the skill of her
workmen engaged in the manufacture of
edged tools. As yet, indeed, Pittsbuig is
not able to make much progress on account
of our high tariff, and England has the
market nearly to herself, so that Sheffield
was never buster than now. But British
manufacturers see that America will not
long be shut out from the world by tariffs,
and that when we get rid of protection"
Sheffield cannot compete with Pittsburg in
the foreign markets. They are thus stalking
time by the forelock," and preparing for
the time when we shall be free.
If our edged tool makers were freed from
the burden of protection" their expenses
would be SO reduced as to enable them to
sell in other markets than England. Of
course they would be more successful else
where than in England, where Sheffield
has no cost of transit to contend with. If
the high tariff We're removed Immediately,
we might gain a footing before the British
manufacturers can get their two new es-
adjustments in working order, and Eng
land would find it rather difficult to deprive
us of our advantage.
