SOME OF THE ABUSES.


Here we have no less than 1870 feet OF water
frontage in New York occupied by these FERRIES and
625 feet OF frontage in Brooklyn that belong to
the city OF New York under the charter and grants
a total frontage OF 2245 feet that ought to bring
on an average $50 per foot rental per year, or q
revenue OF S110, per year. II viii be seen that
the total revenue paid BY these ferry companies 10
but S61 060 In some cases, no doubt, the city re-
ccives more than the value from the companies Il
is outrageous that for carrying residents OF Brook
Ign to and rom New York daily at one cent during
certain hours, and consideration Of 81,
the taxpayers OF New York should surrender to
the Union Ferry Company all the revenue that
should accrue from their five ferries This greas
monopoly Is indebted to the city at the present
time In the sum OF So, 900, which Is now
in litigation. This Ia back rent due
before the Legislature gave the Brooklyn people
all the ctys interest in the ve ferries for 81 per
year. Another palpaby apparent fraud Is the
surrender OF pier 800 feet long by 40 feet broad,
all OF pier 80 North River and naif OF the bukhead
dividing II from pier 81 to the Erie Railway for the
insignificant sum OF $1,000, when they charge the
Long Island Ferry Company $4,000 per year for $50
feet on either side OF the river There can be no
question but what there many abuses In the
giving away OF the city's rights to these proper
ties but az the Commissioners OF the Sinking FUND
nave referred the whole matter to the Comptroller
and Chamberlain for report IL IL to be hoped
they will az early day devise some means to rec

this monopoly. One cent fare is no doubt boon

The Iron Question.

Heretofore England has held by long
ways the foremost position in supplying tue
iron for the world. OF all the productions
that has made her rich and influential, iron,
which has become the measure ofthe strength
of nation, is her most important product.
To great extent, England has ruled the
prices of iron and its products throughout
the world. Although this country has of
late stood next to Great Britain in this i'm
portant product, only the most sanguine have
have had the hardihood to declare that the
United States would become a competitor
with that country for championship in the
production ofiron within less than century.
But recent facts indicate the time when the
United States will take the lead is very near
fit has not already arrived. Very recently,
we are informed by the cable. some of the
leading English manufacturers have forward
ed large orders to this country for ore and
that it was but the beginning of an iron
trade to England which promised rapid and
permanent growth. That British manu-
facturers generally appreciate this changed
condition, may be seen by an address recently
delivered before the Iron and Steel Institute
owing to rapid lessening of the coal pro-
duct, final reliance for: both iron and coal
must be on the immense resources of the
Western continent, adding that sin ores of
the finest description, the resources of the
United States are unlimited, while as Ie-
CARDS coal our own wealth is poverty in COM
parison."
The rapid growth of iron production in
this country and the extent hat the English
trade in this country in that article is falling
off can be best appreciated from the fact, that
in April 1872 England exported to the vari-
Gus ports Of this country, 50,5S8 tons of iron
rails and 29.146 tons of pig iron while for
the corresponding month of 1878, she fur
nished us but II, 142 tons of rails and 1925
tons of pig iron. In the meantime the ex-
continued as large as ever.
This great change is explained ON the
ground that the cost of making iron in Eng
land has, within the past year been
largely increased. Countries unable to
to manufacture it and requiring a con-
slant supply have been compelled to pay this
increased price. Under policy that has
been constantly denounced, the United States
has encouraged a great iron production of its
own, and when the prices went up were able
to supply the greater portion of the demand
from home furnaces, which has prevented the
great increase Of the balance of trade against
this country and checked the drain of gold.
Beyond the immediate prospect of supply
ing our entire home demand, there is no
doubt but within few years, large quantities
will be exported to other countries, turning
from other channels tide of specie that will
be of incalculable benefit in bringing about
an adjustment Of our currency.

MRS. r. E. LEE, widow of the late Con-

had an interest in the Arlington estate, it
having been absolutely willed TO her by her
father Mr., Gusts who died in 1857. She
does not desire to recover possession of it
or divert it from its present use, but will ask a
suitable compensation. 1t would appear that
Mrs. Lee has an equable claim for compensa-
zion and at this time those who cannot forget
the wrongs suffered at the hands of Gen. Lee,
should not inflict injury upon those who are
not answerable for him.

THE Kennebec Journal publishes a tele-
gram from Bangor which states that Judge
Kent's ward in Bangor elected Dingley dele
gates. The Bangor Wing says that Ward2'
Judge Kents) specially instructed its dele
gates to vote for Hon, Edward Kent. In this
case the average reader will conclude that the
report of the Wing and not the anonymous
telegram of the journal states the truth in
the matter. The Wing further states that
the caucuses were more generally attended
than usual and that the most influential men
in the city have boon placed on the delega-
ton.
