We Must Make chsaper Iron,

(From the Iron Age)
To develop our resources 10 the fullest
extent, and command for American iron
the universal market which Is now open.
ing to II, we must mako iron cheaper than
it Is now made, How can this be done !?
The question is an easy one to ask, but
impossible 10 answer specifically. Some
furnaces and mills, owing to favorable 10.
cation, abundant capital and facilities for
getting their materials at cost, can make
iron below the figures given In Mr..
Bakers table; others, less fortunate, can
not, and should the present condition oil
affairs continue, II Is 10 be feared that
many email establishments will be COM
PEELED 10 surrender their property 10
liQuidate their debts. In seasons like
this, only the strong can stand. In the
meantime, we are threatened with a
heavy overproduction Of pig metal, and Il
ia quite certain that the competition
which makers now have to fear ia home
competition. To meet this, as well as 10
80 lar reduce the cost Of iron that we can
proftably manufacture our surplus pro-
duct for export, the ironmasters must
abandon for the present oil idea
of large profits, and devote their
energies to making at the lowest
price 90 much iron Of the best quality as
they can sell, and no more. They must
summon 10 their aid the chemist and the
scientific metsllurgist, and the smallest
waste must be detected and guarded
aginst They must conduct their busI-
ness as II 1t were only barely possible 10
make profit, and not until they have
exhausted the possibilities OF economy
will they DO in position TO realize the
fullest benefit Of prosperity, and 10 guard
against the dangers Of adversity. we
can no longer afford to run our furnaces
hap.hazard to make poor iron at $SSs3I
per ton, when tits possible TO make bel.
Ter iron at $S0aSl, or to depend upon
manual labor for any service which can
be rendered by machinery. In the strup.
gle upon which we have entered some
must fall; those who do not, will be he
ones who will have learned how 10 profit
most fully by returning prosperity.

REVISING THE PENSION ROLLS

The Commissioner of Pensions has been
engaged for some time past in revising the
pension rolls, and has discovered not q

tigatiOn. Since last July two hundred and
ffly.twe names have been dropped from
the rolls, eifecting a saving Of upwards Of
two thousand dollars q month. Among
these were q number Of widows Of SOL

FaTmeTP Money Saving Associations
-. fraudulent Pensioners ... The
Capture Of wilkes Booth.
(sReelL Washington Dispatch TO the Pittsburgh
The Department Of Agriculture Is in
receipt Of q large amount Of information
respecting farmers cooperative associa-
tons and unions. This exhibits the i'm.
portant fact that a great revolution Is
quietly taking place in the prices paid for
various articles used on the farm, espe.
cially in the purchase Of groceries, seeds
and agricultural implements. The effect
oil these associations Is 10 dispense with
the middlemen, and purchases are made
directly from the manufacturers or whole.
sale dealers. By this means II Is found
that there Is q saving OF from twenty-five
TO fifty per cent For instance, several
farmers, members oil an association, which
use reapers, instead Of buying them siDgly
from an agent and paying high profit,
and frequently giving their notes OF high
interest, payable In one year or more, the
association makes the purchase at the
Wholesale price, and sells TO the members
at tho same figure, with freight added.
To this 10 attributed much OF the success
Of the Changers movement In the agrlcul.
tural States. II is estimated that the
saving 10 farmers in the manner stated
foots up already about 100000. 1t also
demonstrates, that while the prices Of
their products remain the same, they have
largely profted by the saving in their pur.
chRses. The success thus apparent has
encouraged the creation of new Associa-
tions Of ajsimilar character. So far the
cooperative movement has been most &C.
tive In the Western States.
