The W0rEG's Fair in 1873.

Americans should remember that VI
emma is TO have w,rd fair in 1878
At the Paris exhibition of 1867 nearly
every thing sent from this country took
a price. and there is no reason why the
same thing should not be repeated at
Vienna in 1873 The exhibition will
undoubtedly be the largest that mas ever
yet been seen. The park set apart for
the exhibition contains four tunes as
many square yards as has ever been 81
milarly occupied, and the principal bull
ding alone will have length Of 1850
feet. The committee having the matter
in charge wish to have full display OF
the raw materials and manufactured ar
.icles of each nation. with statistical In
formation in reference to the amour I
produced and the trade therein.
Special efforts will be made to have the
art collections a. complete as possible.
aud it is proposed to have loan cJllec-
ton from all the German museums, 81
miiar TO the celebrated one al kensing-
ton. Another speciality will be q collec-
ton Of articles used by different nations
IN their domestic affairs, kitchen utensils
furniture, dress, ornamental objects, In
fact every; hing used about house. As
the Austrian nation has never had an
exhibition Of this character, they Will
undoubtedly work hard tn make 1t sue
cess The opportunity ought not to be
| neglected by the manufacturers OF this
country.-INe,o York Post.

The most that can be said of this Law

VENEZUELAN OUTRAGEs. A Wash
ington dispatch says: the Chairmen
of Foreign Affairs Committee Of both
houses have had conference with the
Secretary of State relative to the rela-
tions between the United States and We
nezueIa The recent action Of the We
nezuela Government. in seizlng the yes,
sells of the American Transportation
Company, together with the offensive at
titude they have assumed with regard to
our claims against them, has induced
several prominent Senators to impress
upon the Secretary of State the impor-
tance Of dealing promptly with Vene-
zuela. 1t is probable that Congress will
authorize the President to demand, not
only redress, but satisfaction, for re-
peated insults and breaches of faith.

The St. CrOix Land Grant.

There is an application before Congress
for the revival of the ST. 'Croix Land
Grant, which has so much Inherent JUS
tice in it that the objection we have so
often urged in opposition to munifcent
land grants for mere specializing purposes
does not apply. At the time the grant
was accorded, the country proposed to be
traversed did not warrant the undertaking.
and even now the chances for renuncia-
ton with the full, benefit of the grant,
are slim enough. 1t is only recently that
the development of the country through
which the road passes. and constituting
peculiarly home association, have un-
dertaken to build the road, They have
com pleted twenty miles between Hudson,
on the St, Croi1, and New Richmond,
but they are now overtaken by the lapse
of the grant through its time limitation.
1t is not proposed by the opponents of
renewal that the lands shall revert to the
government, but that they shall be bestow-
ed upon another and more powerful or
ganization, more richly endowed, and al
ready subsidized to the full extent of the
most abounding generosity. We shall be
| disappointed if Congress Is prevailed
upon by the stronger party in this case tc
forget justice. The Minnesota and Wis
cousin delegation, whose constituents are
Immediately affected by this measure, are
a unit in It's favor, and that ought to suf
fee. AS such, we trust Congress will con
slider and pass upon it.

The President ami his opponents.
From the Boston Travele


The opponents of President Grant
within the Republican party, now concede
that they cannot prevent his nominations
by the National Convention, and thai
fact apparent, many of them Will no
longer oppose him, as it is no part OF
their purpose to weaken the Repubiican
party Others, and among these are
Gen. Schurz, and possibly Mr. Greeiy
and Mr. Sumner, are committed to the
"rule-or-ruin" policy. and knowing that
they can do no thing in the Republican
councils, they propose to act indepen-
IDENTIFY. Their present plan seems to be
to wait till after the Republican Conven
ton, and then call Go ,vention Of dissf-
fected Republicans, AMI others who will
co operate with them, and nominate an
tindenendent ticket, in the hope that the
Democrats will aband n their organizs-
ton and with one acc ,rd support these
candidates. But there are some obstacles
in the way of success for this scheme. LII
tho first place the Democrats are not
likely to make such an open confession
OF their party weakness and lack Of prin-
| ciples as would be involved in the pro-
posed programme. And even consent
| to do this by the party leaders wouid not
| bind the body Of the great Democratic
party ard We should see thousands of the
Democracy supporting Grant in prefer,
ence to any other candidate. The only
possible chance for defeating President
Grant is to go over to tha Democratic
party, and vote for the regular candidate:

THE British had a monopoly of sup
plying the United States with steel
rails. The tariff broke it up. Under 1T,
American steel rails were successfully pro-
duced, and the price Of British rails iui-
mediateiy declined The duty on Be-
senler steel rails has already saved our
railroads and the nation immense su s OF
money. On the other hand, Congress,
in its last revision of the tariff, committed
the error of conccding two dollars tun
to the importers clamor against the duty
on Pig Iron. What was the consequence
The reduction Of the duty was followed
within week by rise in England in the
price of those brands of pig metal that
are marketed here equivalent to the de-
crease Of our tariff The reduction Of
the duty did not profit buyers or consum-
ers here one farthing-indeed, 1t was not
the tariff was engineered through Con
gress solely in the interest of British iron
masters. 1t was designed to give them
two dollars tun more for pig metal tina!
| they could then get out of the Americans
owing to the competition of our own fur
naces. Bue misehicvous rehux action
followed upon the change in the tariff :
1t discouraged domestic production, and
stopped the erection of new furnaces il
all the seaboard reached by the tides q
importation Consequently the growing
wants of the country have not beer
met with growing domestic supply, aud
as further consequence, a scarcity of do
mestic Pig Iron has resulted. and 1t
price has risen not only higher than it wa
before the duty was reduced, but it i
steadily advancing. Such has been th,
mortifying result of every change in th,
tariff in the direction of British Ere,
Trade, and it ever will be the result.
