The Demand for Iron,

The amount Of railroad building 60
ing On in America, is altogether unpreco-
dented, and the consequent demand for
iron is very great. Even if no new lines
were building, the mere renewal of road
way and rolling stock for $4,000 miles Of
railroad would require m enormous
amount Of iron. Then We have a ire
mondous increase of demand for iron
for machinery in manufactures and for
implements in agriculture and the ordi-
nary arts. II We take agriculture alone,
and look at the immense annualincreaso
Of tillage, and calculate the regular de-
mand for agricultural implements, we
shall see that this item is Of great inter
est to the iron trade. But in addition
10 this we have commenced the con-
Struction OF iron steamships, tugs, bar
ges and sailing vessels and iron pctro-
leum cans and tanks; and the number
OF iron coal cars demanded increases
rapidly; we are also using iron in build
ing to m unusual extent. In fact, iron
was never before i'll anything like the
demand in America that it is now.

The FRENCH BUDGET.-The Committee of
the French Assembly upon the Budget pro-
poses to raise fresh duties to the amount Of
six hundred millions of francs This tallies
with our idea that the budget of N. Ponyer-
Quertier was little more hopeful than rea-
sonable. President Theirs is opposed to an
income tax, and we happen to know that in
this particular he expresses the sentiment Of
the French people. The President insists on
maintaining large army and navy. This
also, we believe, accords with French senti-
ment. The President is an undisguised pro-
tectionist, and if French feeling eoes with him
he must raise all his extra supplies by taxing
imported goods. 1t remains to be seen
whether this is or is not good for France. In
our judgment proteciion-the taxing of i'm
ported goods-is an unqualified, unmitigated
evil France, however, Is the best judge Of
what she ought to do, and we have no objec-
ton to wait.

There is great tribulation in Canada over
reported flibustering movements in behalf of
Cuba. The HERALD's special dispatches from
Montreal show how widespread is the scare in
Canada but they fail to indicate any well
formed, carefully planned expedition. 1t
is likely that these flibustering opera
tions will turn out like most Of the
ventures in the same direction from other
parts of the world. At this season of the
year no expedition from the North could
expect to accomplish anything for the Cubans,
even if it were safely landed. But these
Northern expeditions were never intended for
Cuba. Adventures are constantly pretend
ing that they are preparing to strike blow,
but their first step is to cause their names to
be printed in the newspapers that their pro-
jects may be defeated. If the Canadians had
ever intended going to Cuba they might have
gone, and 1t is their own fault that they now
have occasion to complain Of the newspapers.
We fear that the Red River soldiers have
learned lasson from some other ''friends Of
Cuba" and that these were as careful as those
to defeat their own ends.
The truth is that the revolution in Cuba has
degenerated into gross public outrage. The
''patriots" are mostly Chinese and negroes,
without arms without food and without regard
for humanity. The Spaniards- their enemies
commit crimes too shocking for human Gre
dulity. The case of Colas, to which we referred
yesterday at some length, is case which
illustrates both their ferocity and cir
knavery. Even Valmaseda, who has earned
the title of the Butcher of Cuba, is not blood
thirsty enough for his masters of the Casino
Espahol, and they want Concha back, that
their taste for blood may be satiated and the
slave trade reopened. Looking at this ques-
ton from either side it is dscouraging, and
the Red River insurrectionists may be congra-
tulated on not becoming Cuban patriots.

THE DARINa OF BROADWAY ROBBERS far
surpasses the boldness with which the high
waymen Of Hounslow Heath used to stop the
mail coaches with their cry Of stand and de-
liver" The very crowd of Broadway is par
tial cover for these bold ireebooters, for in that
crowd It is everybody's business to interfere in
nobody else's business. On Saturday after
noon, at the crowded corner OF Broadway and
Warren street, two men tripped apparently
and fell One recovered himself first and
walked away without stopping to apologize or
to look out for his companion. No one in the
crowd paid any attention to the matter further
than to laugh quietly ut the mishap. And yet
in the few seconds of that fall one of the men
was robbed by the other of thirty-fve thousand
dollars. The tripping and the fall were parts
Of a bold plan of robbery thus successfully
carried OUT.

Senator Feuton's Nom CommItsni Speech.
Senator Fenton, in his speech at Niagara
Falls last night, alludes to the line of thought
into which he supposes he was led; but we
confess we cannot find it. The Senator's
remarks are not exactly glittering generalities
but the tamest Of commonplace. He neither
indicates q preference for General Grant for
the Presidency in 1872, nor has the bold
ness to say that some other candidate would be
better for the fortunes of the republican party.
His hopes for harmony in the ranks of the repub-
lican organization in this State are as pOintless
as his opinions on the Presidential question.
He mentions no names, indicates no policy
and speaks no strong, brave words. In all
that he has uttered there is only an evident
desire to say nothing Of any moment, and
those who expected him to say something
which would have telling effect upon the
fortunes of his party have been disappointed.
The spe oh lacks the bold rhetoric of Micaw-
bert is not even spiced with the jingling
sentences of Alfred Jingle, but partakes only
of the easy and truculent hum lity
of Uriah Heap. But if it is without
significance in itself it is significant as show
iny that In spite of all his smooth phrases
Senator Fenton is not yet heartily in accord
with the administration and not anxious for
the harmony which he pretends so much 10
desire. These things he shows only by impli-
cation. but every word bears out the implied
meaning which he employed language to con-
ceal. And this is the substance of the
whole matter.

GENERAL FAIDHEEBE's PAMPnLEr.-Tbe
gallant commander Of the Army of the North,
one of the generals chosen by Gambetta to
lead the republican armies of France in the
late struggle with Germany, recently wrote a
work on the causes of the French defeat, an
extract from which we publish in our columns
this morning. After going over the causes
which led to French defeat General Fad-
herbe takes more hopeful view Of the effect
of German successes in the future than what
might be expected, coming from a French
source. Tie Germans, no claims, ''proud Of
the successes obtained OF the price of their
blood, will henceforth have greater senti-
ment of their worth and dignity, and will
shortly claim the rights of freemen in their
own country, instead of emigrating to America
to seek for them" General Faidherbe evi
IDENTIFY looks forward to the no very distant
day when Germany, like France, will shake
off the imperial yoke to take its place as q
republic. With the arrival Of this accomplish
ment will come the day when the Rhine will
no longer be coveted frontier, but the vivi-
flying artery Of France and Germany.

A PHILIPPINE EAETHoUAKE.-A terrible
earthquake is reported in one Of the Philip
pine islands. A short time ago we had the
news Of a very destructive earthquake in the
mountainous regions of Western China, and to
the same subterranean volcanic forces break
ing out In fresh place, may, perhaps, be
attributed this shaking up of the Philippines.
From the islands of Japan southwark to and
including that great archipelago of which
Borneo Is the centre volcanic perturbatiors
are very common. From the late perturba-
lions, however, in New England and in Cali
fornia, we may assume that these disturbing
subterranean elements, in connection with the
electrical forces in the atmosphere, have re-
Gently been operating pretty actively in both
hemispheres, and we fear that something
worse for California remains behind. When
earthquakes are about we always have our
fears for San Francisco.
