OUR IRON AND STEEL INDUSTRY.

The cheap production of IRON and
steel is so intimately connected with
cheap railway transportation, cheap
plows, haIrows, wagons and all farm
machinery, and cheap mechanic and
manufacturing tools of all kinds. that
we can hardly overstate the Importance
of taking this great industry out of the
hands Of few iron and steel monopo-
lists. a heavy duty on imported iron
and steel, to compel forty million peo-
pie to buy these indispensable articles
Of manufacturers at their prices, or go
without railroads, axes, hand-saws and
horseshoes, is a great outrage on COM
mon justice and common sense. The
interest of iron-mongers is to have a
limited supply of their goods in the
markets Of the United States, that the
demand may be pressing, sales quick,
and prices high. Hence, they have
bought scores of the best ore-beds by
the thousand acres, and coal lands in
larger tracts, not to develop their re-
sources, but to keep others from work
ing these mineral treasures. There is
no other way to break the iron and steel
chains with which the monopolists have
bound the American people than to
compel them to work and
trade in fair competi-
ton with all other producers
of iron and steel in the world. Farm
ers raise wheat, corn, cotton and to-
bacco and meat without any monopoly
whatever, simply utilizing their natu-
raj advantages. Protection, by build
ing up close monOpolies, represses en-
terprise, lessons the production of iron
and steel, and IN the same degree en-
hances the cost of all steam engines,
cars, iron ways, factories, carriages,
and every industry that uses tool
made in whole or partly of steel or
iron. 1t is absurd to say that any tax
on grain, cotton, meat, salt, iron, nails
or steel operates to cheaper the cost of
these articles to the consumer. The
word protection implies that the iron
manufacturer would be assailed and in
jured by the people at large if he was
not hedged in on al sides by special
Legislation to protect his rights and IN
terests. This is an unjust reflection on
the community to screen and hide a
fraud on the public. Equal protection
to all, favOrs to none, free trade and no
monopolies, are the elements of sound
political and economical science.
from the proceedings Of the last an
nual meeting of the American Ironand |
Steel Association, held in Philadelphia, |
we copy the following statement in re-
gard to the production of rolled and |
forged iron and steel:
An estimate of the production in
1872 and 1S73Cf themerchaat bar mills,
plate mills, and other rolling mills, ex-
elusive Of rail mills, can be made with
some approach to accuracy. Observing
the classification heretofore in use, the
figures are submitted for
1872 and 1873. IL tons of , 600 pounds:

motion and without the knowledge of
either of the attorneys IN the case. In
other words, Judge Durell made mo-
ton for this order himself as Judge,
and in the latter capacity issued it. 1t
also appeared that Durell made two Or
ders in regard to one of his friends for
the purpose of throwing the chief bank
ruptcy business into bis hands. The
first order directed that in all bank
ruptcy cases this special friend, named
Norton, should be assignee, except
where the creditors, under the law, APP
pointed some other person. Lest this
appointment of some other person
should, after time, take the business
out of Norton's hands, it was further
provided in order No 2 that he should
act as assignee in all this latter class of
cases. Norton's fees were frightfully
exorbitant. Creditors rarely received
any dividends out of the assets of
bankrupts, and when they did they
were so small as to be of little account.
Meanwhile Norton grew immensely
rich. When trouble arose about ex-
cessive fees, Durell made another order
that no complaints about fees or papers,
looking to securing a remedy, should
be filed unless $50 was first deposited.
This, of course, greatly reduced the
number of complaints, as $50 was gen.
orally more than any creditor hoped to
receive, no matter how large his claim.
There is much evidence tending to
connect Duren with Norton's excuses,
and on this the case will mainly rest.
This Norton has been, of course, a
bright light in the Kellogg party.
He contributed $4,000 for campaign
purposes during the last Presidential
contest, and in consideration of his
pecuniary services was the man select
ed by the caucus of the leading lights
of the Administration party, including
Kellogg, Packard, and others, for cleo
ton to the United States Senate for
the long term. The only explanation
of his defeat ever gwen in New Or
leans is that Kellogg pleaded that
Pinchback ought to have something
for his great services to the party as
Governor adj interim, and for carrying
the negro vote against Gov. WarmUth,
and met with so much. success
that Norton gave Pinchback
$4,000 to pay him for his
disappointment. This money Pinch
back is said to have used in the Legis-
lature to defeat Norton and elect him.
SELF The fact that Norton was not
assassinated by some of the creditors
whose money he stole is a creditable
fact, showing the law-abiding character
of the business class of New Orleans.
The committee was greatly surprised
at the real condition to which business
in the State and city has been brought
by ''carpet-bag" misrule. Country
property has deprecated since the war
from so to IS per cent. The taxes are so
high as TO amount to confiscatiOn.
Real estate in New Orleans which would
not sell for S5,000is assessed at $40, 900,
and property that rents for $1,000 is
taxed $500. The committee is of the
opinion that Judge Durel Will be i'm
peached If he does not escape by re-
signing.

The JoResboro Herald and Tribune
has taken an early start in favor of
Judge Gillenwaters for Congress from
the first district in opposition to Rod
erick Random Butler. That paper says
it is authorized to state that Judge
Gillenwaters will announce his candi-
cacy for Congress in a few days, in a
card defining his views on matters of
national policy, and all questions agi-
tatlng the country. The JoneSboro Echo
supports Butler, subject to the decis-
ion of a straightout Republican con-
vention, while the GreeaeUiIe Near Era
vigorously denounces Gillenwaters as
little better than blockhead.

for fear the celestial city was getting vulgar;
and some who would refuse altogether. if
they saw the so-and-sos about to enter?"

THE President leaps over the tech

of the Supreme Court. and advises Gov.
Davis to acquiesce and recognize the
new officials. The substantial result,
the manifest expression Of the popular

the question. Why did he not act on
the same highly equitable principle IN
the Louisiana case, regardless Of the
technical assumptions by which alone
the Kellogg usurpation has been main
tained?-NelC Orleans Picayine.
1t is not too late yet for the Presi-
deut 10 retrieve his false steps in the
case Of Louisiana, if he really means
what he says to Gov. Davis, that the
verdict of the people should be re-
spected. Until be applies the same
logic to Louisiana, his action in Texas
remains under the suspicion Of being
dictated merely by the present exigen-
cies of his party.
