Make Iron.

Both abroad and at home the price of
iron steadily advances, not withstanding
the reduction of the duty made in the last
session of Congress. The value of iron has
doubled in England during the last twelve
months. Scotch pigs, which would then
not bring more than fifty shillings, are
now selling for one hundred shillings per
ton. Foreign trade journals do not antici-
pate an immediate decline, and the manu-
facture is urged to it's utmost capacity with
the assurance of profitable market. The
numerous business interests now embar-
raised by the high price of iron, should
clearly understand that they cannot obtain
relief from abroad, but must find it in the
development of the home manufacture.
The disposition of Congress to NEEDLE
with duties, is, of course, discouragiDg, but
it should be remembered that the duty on
iron is now lower than it has been in the
present century, and it is so plain that fur
Their reductions would be a mere gift to
English manufactures, of money which be-
longs to the revenues, that no considerable
number of Congressman will have the in
decency to advocate it.
The reelection of President Grant, of
which there appears no dOnbt, will also
guarantee the business interests of the
country against rash experiments, or the
successful assaults of our foreign trade ri
walls.
The high price of iron abroad is likely to
| have permanently beneficial results in this
country, as it has enabled English work
ingmen to obtain better wages, an advan-
! tage which they will not surrender, even
upon q change in the trade, without a
struggle. One of the principal duties
which this country now owes to itself and
the world is to make more iron. The man.
ufacture has been pressed to the limit of its
capacity in England, ana unless it advan-
ces here there must be decreased consump-
ton elsewhere. Vast fields of coal and iron
are in the Southern and Western States
are lying undeveloped, and in the Middle
States, where the man ufacture is now sue
cessful, additional capital may be employ
ed with profit, 1t is true that the business
in the past has been precarious and unre
munerative, but the conditions seen to be
so materially and permanently changed
that an assured and brilliant future awaits

Arrest of a Thief and Murderer.

All who remember the circum-
stances, connected with the death
of Mr.. Henry Seymour, which oc-
cured in 1867, will be glad to know
that justice has at length Overtaken
his murderer. Bill Shines, the negro,
who was at first suspected of the
crime, but for lack of testimony or
evidence sufficient to convict him,
went unhanged and has lived
ever since in the neighborhoOd of
the Seymour place. Recently he
employed two cOlored individuals
pamed AlOnzO Calvin and George
Carter, to assist him in digging up
ga box of knives and forks which
box it seems proved to be full of
gold. He told his assistants not to
speak of the matter to any one upon
peril of their lives. Calvin was SO
afraid of being killed by him, that he
came to Canton on last Monday and
stated the facts in detail, claiming
protection from the Mayor. After
an investigation of the matter before
the Mayor, in presence Of several
witnesses, Mr.. Arista Parker, our
efficient City Marshal, started at
once to arrest said Shines, which he
did with the utmost success, not
stopping, until he lodged him safely
i'm Jail, where lie awaits his trial.
