will import American iron and turn II Into
many fold value by her own labor. The cost
Of the crude iron Ia but small fraction Of

tho cost Of raw material Of American iron
industry at between six and seven mill
lions, and the value OF Its products at
not less than three hundred end twenty
millions. This IA an exaggtfatlon, but
we let that pass. Thus England can import
her raw iron and multiply II In value ilfty
times. OF course she Will not perpetuate the
folly Of laying q duty on the crude material,
and thus crushing the mighty and skilled In

II through her monetary system she retains
the cheaper cost Of working, she may i'm
port her crude Iron and return IL to us null

short time see the United States plg-iron as
