ENGLISH VIEWS OF AMERICAN
IRON.
New York Bulletin, Nov. II.

New York Bulletin, Nov. u
The iron-making industries of the
United States are watched in England
with uncommon intel est, and one
which might indicate to some minds no
little soicitude there for the mainte-
nance of British supremacy in the
worlds future markets for the pro-
ducts Of the mine, the furnace, and the
forge. At present, it Is true, the
iron interest In this country is
not in so promising a condition
as to excite the envy of cur
transatlantic neighbors, but as the
depressing influences against which,
in common with most other leading
industries, it has to contend, are of a
temporary character, it is to the future
that our friends on the other side are
looking. Hence, they are making
themselves as familiar as possible now
with the extent, capacity and all the
minutia of of our ores, manufactures
and furnaces. 1t has even been deemed
worthy of recent official enquiry, as we
see by a very voluminOus statement,
embodied in the Just issued Re
ports by Her Maiesty's Secretaries
of Embassy and Legation" This
statement is divided into two main
divisions-that of primary materials
and that ot manufactures-and nat
urally, under the first head, ores arefrst
dealt with. The writer Ia Mr.. Gastrell)
admonishes his countrymen, at the
start, that however much the Govern
notwithstanding policy may be ques-
toned upon sound economic principles,
there can be no doubt the American iron
trade has made giant strides, and that
sit has great future before It As to
the superintendent ore, that, we are
told, has been proved beyond perad-
venture, while the physical difficulties
which prevent its extraction or manu-
facture must In many cases be removed |
by the growth of population and the |
of means of transport. |
For ores that lie far inland, for which |
land carriage would be at best ex-
expensive, Her Msjesty's |
thinks it may never be J
easy to find wide market; but he gees
On to show that IN many cases both coal
and iron are to be found where no diff

of these localities he

WE take from the NelC York Bulletin
of Thursday the following sensible and
just views concerning the impaired
credit of the South: "Tbe recent cleo
tons, in so far as they assure the
Southern States fair play, cannot fail
to have a good influence; and if the
people of those States which have been
loaded with debt by unprincipled ad-
venturers will meet their Creditors in a
fair spirit, there is no reason why
Southern State credit should not re-
cover all it has lost since the war. 1t
is true thaJmanyof the securities issued
did not bring valuereceivedto the States;
but they have drifted into the hands
of holders in good faith, many of them
foreigners. These holders did not pay
anything ike face value for the bonds,
and the proposition to exchange these
bonds, say, two or three for one new
bond, on which interest would be
promptly paid, should be acceptable.
In any event, it would show good in
tentions on the part of the States max
ing the proposals, and would help the
credit of every one in the State. To
make such of the Southern States as
have been under the control of carpet
baggers responsible for the debts they
incurred, and without the sanction of
the tax paying people of those States,
is something which we believe intelli. |
gent creditors, either here or in Europe, |
do not contemplate 1t will be no.
ticed that the Bulletins remarks apply |
only to such States as are, or have
been, under carpet-bag rule.

ing, still tend TO raise doubt whether
the resources of America IN coal are
able to keep pace with the great re-
quirements Of its iron smelling. Out
of total Of 636 furnaces of all sizes IN
blast in 1873, 265, for instance, were
charcoal. The others, with the cxcep-
ton of seven indefnite,r or peat,
we're worked with either anthra-
cite or bituminous coal, and
we're, probably, the largest; still
the writer thinks it is significant that
so great proportion should be sup
piled with wood. In some districts, but
for the vast hardwood forests, he thinks
it would be difficult at present to util-
ize the ores, and viii be almost impos-
sible when that wood is used ND. As it
will take many years, however, to
use that wood up, 1t Is Just
possible the British writer is bor-
rowing trouble for us. he invites special
attention to therapid progress we are
making in the manufacture Of
finished IRON, and records with an ad-
miration point the fact that America
has now, as shipper, advanced from
sewing machines to locomotives. And
not only that, but ''the United States
now produces about as much as we ex-
port, of all kinds" We may venture,
timidly, to suggest to the advocates of
the "Government-fostering policy"
that this presentation of the
case might start the inquiry
whether the time is not come
when this great interest is strong
enough to protect itself. 1--we already
"produce as much as Great Britain ex-
ports" and if we can turn our hands
at anything in iron, ''from sewing ma
chimes to locomotives" and meet our
competitors to advantage in the mar
kets of the world, upon what rational
principle or with what Justice to the
consumer can the nursing process be
perseyered in2

THE STATE GRANGE.


. DIR. William Maxwell, Master of the
Tennessee State Grange, addresses an
interesting communication to the Pa
irons of the State through the medium
of the Grange Outlook. He opens with
the very practical but constantly need
ed advice, that all correspondents ex-
peciing answers, should give their post
Office and county. He says hundreds
Of letters asking valuable information
cannot be answered owing to the omis-
sion noted. Master Maxwell urges
concentration by the Changers upon
the plans and business men or agencies
recommended by the Executive Com
mittee, or by the county and district
agencies. He deprecates little par
tialities" in favor Of certain imple-
ments or machines, when others fully
as good are offered by manufacturers
who are ready 20 enter into arrange
ments with the Grange. By adhering
to this policy it is claimed that farmers
will save at least one-half on all they
buy. The one thing need
ed is confdence-confdence in
each other, and the inspiring of conf
dence in others. Manufacturers, mer-
chants and the public must be con-
WINGED of the stability of the move
ments The communication closes as
follows: ''You must convince the world
you are in earnest, and that you do not
oppose any other legitimate calling, and
that you only assume to protect your
own interests, and that your wish is to
sustain all moral right and only oppose
moral wrong and ignorance, and that
you are doing all You can to sus-
tain other interests and other eallings
not in conflict with your purposes,
which can only be done by co-opera-
ton; and in doing your work you sus-
tain what the heads Of departments of
the government have themselves said
in their report. They say; 'Agricul-
ture is the foundation of our prosper
ity.' This is what they say in speak
ing of the government itself. Who
could say more? or what higher
authority could speak?
In dollars, thousands have already
been saved to you and your manufac-
turers not damaged. In morals, the
gain is plainly visible. In Intelligence
and thirst for knowledge. you are
fast taking your stand with the profes-
sions. In improvement, you are taking
that stand that the world will soon be
willing to acknowledge you have no
superior"

THE House of Bishops of the Pro-
testant Episcopal Church, IN their pas
toral letter delivered at the close of the
recent General Convention, speak in
no uncertain language on the subject
of divorce. The following passages,
Incorporated in that document, are
worthy of serious consideration in this
day of the easy sundering Of the mar
rage relation:
1t is a part Of the liberty wherewith
Christ has made us free to lift up all
our domestic life into the pure atmos-
phere Of spiritual thought and feeling.
Marriage is no longer union of con-
venience or a matter of civil contract.
1t is the one blessed heirloom trans
mitted from the days of innocence, it is
the type and emblem Of that union
which is between Christ and the Church.
The freedom of the chaste, pure Chris
tan house stands pre-eminent among
the earthly blessings bestowed on US in
Christ.
How is it, then, that some among
you have presumed to put away a wife
except for the cause of fornication?
We are distressed to know that some,
under pretext of a civil divorce, have,
without adequate cause, dismissed an
uncongenial wife or husband, and af-
ter marrying another have profaned the
Holy Sacrament by coming to it with
a hody Tins defiled
Be We well assured, brethren below
ed, that whatever license may be toler-
ated by society and by civil courts, if
any persons be joined together other
wise than as Gods Word doth allow,
their marriage is not lawful. Be ad-
monished that if any cleave not to his
wife, but unlawfully marries another,
and then comes to the tableof the Lord,
although he doth carnally and visibly
press with his teeth las st. Augustine
saith the Sacrament of the Body and
Blood of Christ, yet in no wiseis hepar-
taker of Christ, but rather, to his own
condemnation, doth eat and drink the
sign or sacrament of so great a thing.
