Two piles of bar-iron on the dock in New
YOrk-the British laid down at cost of $40
u tun, gold; tho American at q cost of SO
tun, gold. What pulpit the British pile is
to preach from against Tariffs and to invoke
the universal brotherhood of Free Trade But
how carefully that sermon conceals the fact
that the cheapness of British Iron in part re-
suits from the employment in its manufacture
OF women and children. Put it to vote in
America: Shall girls and boys and women be
worked in the production of our Iron, or will
"you sooner let Iron go to $500 tun7" The
cry of the nation would be: ave will sooner
See it thousand dollars o tun.'' And in
that answer lies tho, ptmancncy Of our Re-
pnbllcauism. The difference in the cost of
British and American Iron is simply the di-
ference of wages. Oar high wages represent

THE GREAT WORK AHEAD.

A great deal has been accomplished towards
the rescue of tie City Government from the
cOruptiOnists, but much more remains still to
be done; and those who have thorough abso-
Lutte reform earnestly at heart must not halt
now while the final victory is in doubt.
The Tammany Ring is utterly overthrown ;
not only the Democracy of the whole country,
but Tammany Hall itself. which fostered the
corruption, hastens to repudiate Tweed and
his cOnfederatcs But the Judiciary Ring, in
which Barnard, Cardozo. Ingraham, and Nc
Gum are all potent, remains still compact in
power. For two years or moro 1t has been
the main-s.ay of Tammany; without its pow
erful aid Tweed and Connolly could never
have committed the crimes in which they have
been detected and for which their punishment
has already begun and will not end until out
ragged public sentiment is satisfied with seeing
them committed to State Prison. That end,
necessary to the vindicatiOn of right and JUS
tice, and demanded by public safety and
morality, can never be attained while these
men remain on the bench to try the rogues
with whom they have been associated. Already
it is suspected that some of them have violated
law in conspiring to delay the assignments of
the Supreme Court Bench beyond the time
fixed by statute, in order 10 arrange that some
Tammany Judge, and not Judge George C..
Barrett, shall try the chief culprit of the Ring.
These assignments, which should have been
made on the first of December, have never
been published, and were yesterday refused
lawyers Oh application. This is matter
deserving Of immediate attention. Tho
best way to rectify what we will suppose
to be merely IN error on the part
Of the Judges, though there are those
who will characterize it as something more

raising his voice or hand in rebuke, the duty
would seem intolerable to any man Of heart,
and especially so to 80 ohivalrous and gallant
q gentleman as Topete Angulo is SAID also
to hesitate about facing again tho inevitable
deficit that yawns before any Spanish Minister
of Finance. Gaminde, Minister of War, is one
of those slasling soldiers who never dispute
an order or refuse an Office, and means
nothing.
There is not and ought not to be any hope
of permanence for such Ministry. There is
no chance of improvement for Spain from this
old bad breed of politicians There are several
questions of supreme importance now claiming
thc most earnest attention of the nation. One
il of the relations of Church and State and
tho claims of popular education. This cannot
be satisfactorily arranged by a party under
the dominion of ultramontano ideas. Another
is the financial situation of the kingdom, the
absolute necessity of retrenchmcnt and strin-
gent taxation. The easy sclfsceking intri-
Gants of the Union Liberal can never grapplc
with o matter requiring such vigorous
stlf-denial. The most mOmentOus question
now confronting the craftsmanship of Spain
is the condition of the Antilles. The question
must promptly and resoutely be answered
whether they shall be sacrificed TO false no.
ton of honor and given over to the ravages
of the ferocious janizaries which the blind
folly of Spain has planted and sustained
there. The party with which Sagasta has
chosen to ally himself is disqualified before
two continents from handling this matter. 1t
is the party of CaballcrO. of Lopez Roberts,
and of that nCapable savage Valmascda, who
have sinncd beyond pardon in Cuba. Its
hands arc foul with theft and stained with
innocent blood There will be no peace for
Spain and no permancnce in the dynasty of
Savoy while the King delays to free himself

It is not surprising that German patience
with the French has given out at last, and
that Prince Bismarck threatens to increase tho
army of occupation if the murders of German
soldiers do not cease. The farcical trial and
acquittal of Tonnelet, who killed peaceable
"invader" on bantcring wager, and was re-
warded with triumph by his countrymen, is
fair example of the spirit with which the
great body of French people regard the Ger
mans who yet remain among them. They will
not regard themselves as conquered people,
and are in the way to make that unpleasant
position more kcenly felt by picking off their
conQucrOrs ono by one.

also, the statistics of its production and i'm

not absolutely perfect, the best now attainablc :
The aggregate product of Pig Iron in this
