A little reflection viii probably con-
1ince Senator Thurman that he was |
Unjust to Senator Morton when he
quoted a part df the ealatter gentleman's
upon the bill to increase the
salaries of members of Congress and
other officials, and left . portion Of
his remarks not quoted His injus-
lice wiliabel much amore apparent to
him when it shows him that he has,
by some strange oversight, quoted that
part of Senator Morton 3 remarks
which can be easily misconstfued into
an endorsement, of the BILL while he
fails entirely to give that which shows
how unequivocaily Mr. Morton was
opposed to the increase. On the same

Dir, Thurman quoted from, not more
than three inches below the matter
which he did quote, may be found the
matter that he might have given had
he not been-say, too, hasty-which
would have put an entirely different
,faoe on the matter We will supply
tie quotation: it occurs after short
colioQuay shetwcen Mr.. Merton and
Mr.. Carpenter, following Mr., Nor
toms motion to strike out all that part
Of the bill which increases the Tcom-
pensation Of Senators and members
Of the House Of Representatives:
"Mr. HILL-Allow me to make .
suggestion to the Senator from Indi-
ana, and that is that he move to strike
out the amount named in the House
amendment and insert an amount that
he thinks would be respectable say
- 500, or something like that. almo9
"Mr. MORToN-I do not wish to
vote upon the question of the salaries
Of members Of Congress at this session
at all. / do not think it is good
time to cansider the question. suiiaN
The more haste the less speed
If Mr.. Thurman had taken more time
he might have avoided hurrying HIM
self into a position where he is likely
to be understood as willfully garbling
Senator MOrton's record for the pur-
pose of doing him an injury-Ind.

George H. Potts Of the Cold Spring
and West Point Iron Companies, in
reference to the gradual closing Of the
iron market in England and the fu-
ture prospects of the traffic in America
said that the product Of American pig
iron last year was ,25O, 900 TONS The
high prices Of iron in England had
stimulated production in the United
States, which it was estimated would
this year approximate 2,700.OO0 tons.
The importation Of iron from Eng
land. on account of the excessive
prices Of labor and fuel and the gen.
eral derangement Of business incident
to high rates in that country, had al
most entirely ceased, and the supply
The price, Of iron had fallen here as
we'll as in England, but dealers and
manufacturers in this country could
stand the depression Of the market
better than those of Great Britain,
for American raw meterial was more
abundant, and the prices of labor
were no higher. England had of lafe
began to import in very large quanti-
ties from Spain, while American re
sources were still in their infancy
Also, while material continues to fall
in Great Britain, the future supply
must necessarily be sought in America
American exports were as vet small
although a large trade in manufac
tured iron. in the shape Of rnachiner,
} was developing. Mr.. Potts said tha
customer of his company in Buffak
i. this year had exported 1000 tons o
, iron to a company in Canada, which
had preyiCiisly patronised Englanf
, firms. A month ago, 1000 tons o.
charcoal iron from the Lake Superior
region was sent to Wolverton, til.
first ton ever exported from thi
country to England. OF athe 140, ,O0l
miles of railway in the world 7ther'
we're 5000 miles in this country
! which, on account of the wear on es

; starting of new wienterprises this di
rectiOn, demanded since the war al
! annual supply Of from 5000 to Z ,0O
miles of iron Should this single de
!, lpartment Of the iron trade increas
proportionately in years to come, o
! should the many uses of iron as ma
terial increase as we'll, Mr.. Potts pre-
dicted a demand in this country full
equal to the supply. He thought tina
the causes Of the disasters to the Eng
2 lish iron market might be summed u
y under three heads: 1st. The scarcit
Of raw maAerial, which was gradual
: failing. I'd. The great enhancemcr
Of the cost Of Goa, which enter
! 3D. The increased price Of labor, ow

The tendency of all this, he though
e would be to deprive England perm:
s ncntly Of supremacy in the iron MAJ
u ket, and transfer it to the Unite
4 States. This competition on the pa

: the iron traffic was becoming more an
