STEEL PENs.--The American Manufacturer,
of recent date, gives some interesting facts
about pens. 1t appears that in Birmingham,
England, the number Of steel pens made week
ly is about 5000 gross, or 14,l20,OO0 separate
pens. Thirty years ago, pens were sold whole
sale at $l,25 cents gross; now pens good,
or better, may be had at cents per gross
When it is remembered that each gross requires
IA pieces of steel to go through at least twelve
processes in the course of manufacture, the
fact that IA complete pens can be sold for
cents, after paying for m lterial, paying wages
to work people, and leaving profit to maker
is convincing proof of the results obtainable
by the exercise of mechanical ingenuity and
division of labor. These prices, however, ap'
pear to be wholesale quotations.

COMPLIMENTARY, RATHER.-Senator Earle paid
Comptroller Woolford quite a compliment-a
valuable one certainly, viewed in all the surround
ing circumstances. Comptroller Woolford has
devoted much time, attention and ability TO the
preparation of revenue bills for the purpose OF
introducing number of new features in the rev.
enue system of the State These bills were offer
ed in the House and referred to the proper COM
mittees, but it seems that from some cause or
other, whether because OF the diminutve compre-
hension of the delegates or the tower genius of
Comptroller Woolford, ii boots US not here to
state the gentlemen OF the House could not see
the matter just as the Comptroller saw it, In
order TO have no miscarriage Of the plan of the
Woolford circle, the Legislature skipped an even
ing session and caucus of the managers was
held which decided to put the matter through un
der the party lash. The House carried out the
dictates of the caucus. Mr. Earle in the Senate
moved that the consideration of these bills be
laid over until the meeting of the next Legisa-
ture adorns the legislative halls OF the "Ancient
City" 1t certainly is high compliment to Mr..
Woolfords genius that it will require two years
to understand his financial schemes Some men

AN EPoCH.-Those who participated in the alb
grand reunion at Chicago in June next. Most
of the leaders of that movement that has resulted
in such magnificent achievements have been
"picked off by death missiles. But all through
the land are scattered sturdy veterans in the cause
of emancipation who were not prominently
known, but who did their part and helped to
swell the corps of philanthropists whose integri-
ty of purpose, whose devotion to their convic-
tons, whose trials and privations, whose courage
in acting out their convictions and whose long
line of grand results stand without parallel in
the annals of history. Their works will live in
story and their influence will be felt wherever a
heart throbs for liberty long after their names
have vanished from their sepulchral slab and their
oee0s nave Iaucu IrVm meuIury
The men who attend that meeting have the
right to be the proudest body of men that ever
assembled because they stand at the head of a
moral movement that can show for its results the
grandest achievements in the field the forum, the
rostrum, in ethics, in government and in the
spread Of universal liberty to be found among
the recorded events of time. Their names may
fade away. Their memories may be forgotten.
Their identity may be lost in the minge and
whirl of the great men and events of the world,
bat while time shall roll and history be recorded
will their heroic deeds live on its brightest pages
and illuminate its grandest epochs, teaching all
coming generations TO keep the lamp of liberty
burning brightly by living up to the require
ments of equal Justice.

REVISION or CUSTOMS LAWS.

On another page of THE TRIBUNE to-day we
print full report of the statement made be-
fore the House Committee of Ways and Means
lately by Judge Noah Davis. This dispassion-
ate and lucid relation of facts and opinions is
of peculiar value. Aside from any special
connection which Mr. Davis Gate U. 5. Dis
trict- Attorney has had with notable cases in
the courts, it is well known that he has had
extensive acquaintance with the laws under
examination by Congress. Certainly none can
read the evidence which he gave before the
Committee without being impressed with his
fairness, candor, and perfect acquaintance
with the matters discussed.
Many of the points upon which Judge Davis
dwelt have been discussed in these columns.
For example, his statement that the only true
basis of duties should be, the market value at
the time of shipment will command general
approval. To say that this basis should be a
movable one, depending upon the fluctuations
of the home market, is to declare an absurdity.
On the question Of forfeiture of an entire in
voice in consequence of the discovery of a
single illegal item, Judge Davis is less de-
cided in opinion He thinks that it would
he hazardous to limit the forfeiture to
the separate COUueIlutu lItluSy Dut Hc rs SuIc
that there should be some modification of the
present form of law, which, he says, often
operates with "terrible severity" He is also
very sure that the laws regulating the collec-
ton of the revenue are complicated and ex-
tremely difficult of comprehension. When he
SAWS that they should be Immediately cOdified
and revised, he only reflects the opinion of all
who have paid attention to the subject.
What Judge Davis says about the laws re-
lating to the seizure of books and papers will
command attention, because he stands in the
attitude of an entirely disinterested and I'M
usually well-informed witness. He .hesitates
to suggest amendments to system which
is so liable to abuse, and he cannot sup
press his conviction that it ought not to exist
at all. These seizures he considers invasOns
of private rights; but not 30 much on
that ground. as because they compel a
man to furnish evidence against himself,
does he consider them violation of the
Constitution. In answer to the objection
that without the Seizure law the Government
might not be able to detect fraud, Judge
Davis said that it might not be able to pro-
coed 80 effectually, but it becomes O question
of public policy whether it were not better
that such offenses should 90 UNPUBLISHED
rather than an Invasion of private rights
should be tolerated. These and similar
statements carry with them a certain positive
weight; and they are delivered with dignity
and care which sharply contrast with the
somewhat flippant talk of the present United
States Dstrict-Attorney, who preceded Judge
Davis in the Committees examination, and
whose Of hand recitals were 10 seriously dam
