Some time ago there came an order
from England for iron, and there was
very general satisfaction expressed
through the newspapers, In view of
the fact that the United States could
compete successfully for the British
iron trade. After while it was as
serted that the much vauntcd order
was never filed, that it could not be
filled; in fact, that several dollars per
ton stood between the English buyer
and the American seller, and then the
discussion and the jubilation died
away. But now news comes from
Philadelphia that the steamer Ohio,
from that port, on its last trip, took
out 1900 car wheels for Liverpool.
It is claimed that American Car
wheels are the best in the world, but
hitherto the export of the article has
been merely nominal; that is to say,
2,317 wheels III 1871, 1850 in 1872,
and ISIS in 1873. This does not
amount to much, but it is a straw
showing that the wind blows toward a
trade in American iron manufactures
with England. The British Island
has reached its maximum of power to
control the iron trade of the world
and the United States is pressing for
ward to seize the prize. The coal
mines of England verge On exhaus-
ton, as the shafts each year sink
deeper into the bowels of the earth
while ours lie near the surface, and
are comparatively untouched. Each
year the average cost Of iron in Eng
land increases by certain percentage
through the enhanced cost Of produc
ton, while in the United States it de-
creases each year through the steady
improvement of appliances for its pro
duction and the increase of skilled
labor. The first effect of the compe
tition which England is to suffer from
the United States will not appear il
direct exports to her markets, but il
her loss of the South American trade
1t is in those States which now draw
their chief supplies of iron from Eng
land that she will first meet American
cheap iron. 1t is in that field tina
the United States must earn its CLAIM
to supremacy in the iron trade OF tn
world.

It is now certain that our ma
tional revenues will in some way
have to be increased. 1t is said
that our present receipts are not
sufficient to meet the expenditures,
and that there will be deficiency
by the LIST of january of $4,000,
00p. This will have to be corrected
in some manner, and there will be
a proposition to restore the duty
on tea and coffee. The innocent
souls who have been passing res
olutions in favor of removing the
duty on iron, salt, lumber, and a
thousand other articles, more or
less, can now ponder the question
where the money is to come from
to support the government in such
an event. It is about time, indeed,
that childish talk of free trade were
dispensed with, and o little sober
consideration given to the wants
and necessities of the country.

DIR. TUFTS Pills are composed of many
ingredients. Prominent among them are
Sarsaparilla and Wild Cherry, SO united as
to act together: the one, through its aCmix-
ture with other substances, purifying amt
purging; while the other is STRENGTHENING
the system. Thus these Pills are nj the
same time q tonic and a cathartic, desid-
eratum long sought for by medical men,
but never before discovered. In other
words, they do the work OF two medicines,
and do it much better than any two we
know Of, for they remove nothing from the
system but impurities, SO that while they
purge they also strengthen. and hence they
cause no debility and are followed by no re-
action.
Dr. TUFTS Pills have wonderful In
fiuence on the blood. They not only purify
without weakening 1t, but they remove all
noxious particles from the chy1e before il 10
converted into fluid, and thus makes impure
blood an utter impOssibility. As there is NO
debilitation, SO there is no nausea or sick.
