The announcement that one hun
dred tons of American bar iron have
lust been sold in Liverpool at rate
which underbids the English price,
marks" if We may be permitted to
quote well worn expression OF the
commentators of the sanctum and
the stump, san era in the history Of
the United States The fact thus
noted indicates that our easily aces
sible and well nigh exhaustless
mines of iron ore and coal are be-
ginning to be worked to advantage.
Ready at-land supplies are asserting
themselves as against scarcity and
inaccessibility. 1t looks as if we,
on this side of the Atlantic, were
about supplying the rolling mills,
foundries and cutlefs-shops of Great
Britain with piSi iron as well as her
factories with raw cotton. Perhaps
if the manufacturers of the old
country turn hither for their iron
they may be able to compete for a
while longer with the manufacturers
of the United States. But it locks |
as if the inevitable tide of progress
was about to feat the bouyant
capacities of the new over and above
the growing incap.cities Of the old.
As lately quoted hero. even the Lon
don Times indicates its sense of |
alarm at the spectacle OF the de-
creasing hardware trade of the Brit
ish Isles. We guess that it will |
come to be admitted, one of these |
days, that the High Protective Tariff
did make it possible for our iron
manufacturers to get on their feet
did that much of good, at any rate.
OF course, if we have now got SO
far along as to be able to produce
iron goods cheaper than such goods
can be produced in England there is
no longer any need of a tariff on
such articles of commerce-but it
will be time for John Bull to levy a
duty on Brother Jonathan's knives
and forks, and axes and shovels if
this cheapening process is to con-
tinue. Who reads an American

fifty years ago. The question most

Debating Societies.

Editor BoljUar Bulletin
In my humble opinion every county
should be blessed with debating societies,
and I would admon;sh the young men to
organize such societies, for it is decided
" one of the best means of educational
decipline It is a medium by which the
memory is strengthened, and it is also
means by which the understanding may
be extended to a more extensive develop
ment. Debating societies, it may be
added, ara among the best fields for men
tai activity. They are capable of splend-
id service in the cause Of education and
not only splendid, but peculiar service
in fact for which there Is no Sufficient
substitute. There ara thousands of
such societies removed far from any seat
OF learning; these owe their rise to
laudable ambition" and those composing
them desire to gain good qualities in the
art of debating, and such societies I'M
mediately become educational establishs
ments, for they are in fact schools for
mutual instruction, and they should draw
the warmest compassion because they
merit it They should be support d by
all those who admire true elOquence, and
especially young men, who have either
wanted or wasted opportunities of early
education, and who, under the stimu~
lus of noble aspiration, long to make the
present atone for the past" In the de-
batting society every young man has the
right and the opportunity to present, ex>
/ plain, enforce and defend his own views
/ in his own way. However, young man
/ just beginning may feel embarrassed and
/ be unable to bring forward his ideas in
regard to the subject propoundsd, but by
steady prastice he may be enabled to con-
troll his faculty nf reason and become an
eloquent and eminent chatter. No place
extends better inducements to the young
man who aspires to ora'orial honors
than the debating society. A young man
OF any promise soon comes to see the
value Of deep and enduring thought
close investigation, strict analysis, and
careful deduction" Therefore ( would
urge upon young men the necessity Of
organizing debating societies. They not
only provide means for the improvement
OF the intellect, but furnish agreeable
past time for many persons.
/ hope, Mr.. Editor, that this shor
sketch will draw out the sentiments o.
others through the BULLETIN upon tie

Catherine E. Reecher.

The country is advised with regard to
the fact that Victoria Woodruff has
made certain grave cha rges against Hen
y Ward Beecher, and also that this dis
inguished preacher does not regard the
charges of sufficient importance to reply
to them That these attacks upon his
character are not overlooked by himself
and friends is assured by the fact that
Miss Catherine Bescner has regarded it
necessary to come out in print and make
an appeal to the ladies and clergymen of
New York to use their influence to have
Woodruff suffer the severest penalties of
the laws enacted to punish SANDERS. Miss
Beecher, says the Louisville Ledger is
sharp, aud shows that she is of pure
Yankee stock, for she wants the State to
prosecute instead of the persons SLAM

1t has been charged that at one time
Henry Wand Beecher was on quite int
mate terms with the notorious Woodruff
but as her reputation has been in a terri
bly, damaged condi ton ever since she has
been knogn to the public at all, the
friends and admires of Mr.. Beecher have
been disposed to deny this charge of in
timacy; but since Miss Catherine E
Beecher confesses that less than two
years since she accepted an invitation to
ride in Central Park with Woodruff. the
Probabilities of Henry's intimacy are
greatly strengthened. When Miss Beech

Facts and Figures.

According to the AppeaTs theory,
says-the AUa!apche, it is legitimate to in
clude in the revenues derived from taxaS
ton for any given year, collections for
taxes due for previous years. TO illus
trate: IL So 10000 are required to meet
interest on funded debt current expen-
ses, school tax, etc, in 1874, and 40s
ad7alorem tax and S5OO,OOO from privi~
leges produce only Sl,700,000 Of the res
quired sum, it is proper to take 81 ,300,-
600 collected for taxes and privilege in
previous years, add shat sum to the 81, :
100000 and then point to the 81 100000
as proof that a 40e adsaIorem tax is suf-
fcient to meet the years appropriations.
The fact Is, the years work would show
the current revenue to have been 81, :
300, OOO less than the current appropria-
ton We admit that il to the revenues
produced by 40c, and the privileges, a
sufficient sum from other resources be
added to make up the deficit, the interest
and the current appropriations can be
paid but they are not met by the 40c
rate and the receipts from privileges, why
insist that a 40c rate is suficicn Mt for all
purposes Nothing could be more alb
surd than this assumption. Now let US
look into few facts Under the new
assessment law it is hoped to increase
the taxable property to $3O0,000,OO0 Il
is now, $27S 600 900 This will produce
at 40o State and IOc school tax $780,,

Our OpInion

For ages men of genius have been
striving to check the evil effects of whis-
Ky by legislative enactment, and almost
in every instance, the task has proved
barren Of desired results There is one
way-One only way-to check the ra7ages
of intoxicating liquors, and that is for
each and every man to legislate for him-
self. Let him call to his aid all the firms
meas God has given him, and resolve
within himself that he will neither use as
beverage, make, sbuy or sell intgxcating
liquors, and having made the resolve be
honorable enough to kept. Then leg
islators need not be urged to pass pro>
hibitory laws. What bold aud manly
stand can accomplish compromises will
never do. Ignorance once induced US to
believe that whisky was health promo-
ter; intelligence and sad experience
teaches far different, and those who are
aVerse to such an opinion have only to
keep on in the course which so many are
pursuing to arrive, at the truth at last
