THE IRoH BUSINESS.

The greatest cause for the immense develop
ment OF the iron manufactures of the country
has been the demand made by the railroads.
Their prodigious growth has forced the iron
works to their utmost production.
The development Of railroads. however, is now
checked. Orders for locomotives have been
countermanded. and the locomotive builders are
stopping their orders to the plate-iron mills.
The manufacturers of sh-plates, chairs, spikes
dc, &c, will, Of course, experience a similar
check in orders.
But while this may look discouraging for the
near future of our iron production. one impor-
tant fact must be considered. Heretofore, the
demand for iron has been go great in this coun-
try that our capacity was insufficient to meet it.
and we were obliged to buy a large quantity
sbroad, TO make up the difference But We
have recently come to a condition OF things, il
which we are able to compete with the for
eign makers, and put our iron into oul
own markets, at prices which will undersel
them This being true, is it not also fair to ex
pect that the decreased demand for iron will fal
entirely on the foreign importation and that

THE SUSPENSIONS OF PRIVATE sAEKERs.
HOWARD n. JkNKINs .
RpTFOR.

The financial disturbance has been almost
confined to one class of troubles - the suspen-
sion of payments by private bankers Many of
these are ss solvent, to-day, as they we're fort
night ago, and most of them, no doubt are per-
fectly able. as soon as they can realize on the
securities they hold, to pay all obligations. The
cause Of their suspension has simply been that
depositors all wanted their money, at once, and
that, in the general decentralization, it could not
be raised fast enough.
On the whole, II people could look at these
things sensibly, 1t would have been just as well
for all the banks In the country to have suspend
ed, as soon as the Panic commenced. The ideas
expressed by one Of the New York firm of Howes
Macy, who suspended on Wednesday, are not
far from being very sensible. The statement is
as follows
.'Mr Howes said that they had no, borrowed
a dollar, and did not intend to borrow one We
have plenty Of the very best OF securities, he
added, but we do not pur. Jose to sacrifice them
at the prices now current The fact of the mat
ter 10 that a general suspension OF the large
banking institutions has become a necessity, and
the sooner it takes pl zee the better. Tho small
houses can afford to hold out, perhaps, but the
larger ones must suspend or 60 under People
who bring their money to u.s. and expect to get
it into q corner to look at. No, we invest it, and
we cannot convert our investment on the jump
without great damage to ourselves. At any rate
we don't purpose to be the authors Of our own
ruin so our depositors will have to wait"
The explanation of Mr.. aowes Is q sharp, clear
statement of fact. Nothing of serious moment
has yet happened but the impairment Of public
confidence, and the disturbance of business,
through the suspension of private bankers, and
a few banks, and this has occurred not because
t ey are insolvent, but because they could rot
t irn investments into cash, at few hours, nc
tice
On the whole, therefore, it is a storm among
the artificial relations OF the financial world-or
of that phraseology is not verycleSr, the compli-
Gated machinery has been thrown out of gear
but not broken. The banking houses are nearly
all able to pay every cent they owe and many
will have a large surplus.

The debate on this question was to whether
such instruction was needed in practical busi-
ness education, such as the public school is
supposed to give. But a majority of the Board
decided that that question was for the parents
and children to decide. they being
the parties personally concerned; that
il they wanted it the public school ought
to be as competent to give the instruction as the
select school; chat there wss no reason why
the public school should be behind any other /;
that teaching Latin to children who do want it
does not require any to learn it who do not want
it. &c. The meaning, in short, in the resolution
is that the public school shall be as competent
as any school. 1t is the school for the masses,
one of our great American institutions, and to
be maintained must meet the requirement OF
the masses.
