Dastardly Outrage.


Between the hours OF one and two
a. m. Saturday, some person or per-
sons, SO far forgot all rules of deoency
as to break the windows, both in front
and rear OF the postoillce building. The
windows of Mr.. Schenok's store, on
Nam street, were also smashed, and
early in the evening stone was
thrown at the Republican club room.
THE HERALD emphatically denounces
the whole affair rs gross outrage, and
sincerely hopes that the guilty parties.
Will be ferreted out and brought to JUS
tice. This feeling is also shared by
every respectable Democrat In the
city, and they are more anxious than
the Republicans to find the authors OF
the base act. All day yesterday knots
OF citizens were seen discussing the
matter on the corners, irrespective
of party. And the Democrats
of the city utterly repudiate
the man, even II he be Democrat, as
unworthy to bear the name. Opin.
Ions as to whom the guilty parties are,
vary. 1t Is surmised in certain quar-
ters that 1t was the work of Republic.
cans, who desire to make political cap
ital out of 1t at Washington. The ar
may have considerable weight
when the fact is considered that the
postoihce building is owned by Demo-
Gratis, and the loss falls ON them.
There were six windows broken In
The postoiiice. The front panes were
u plate glass, half an inch In thick
ness, and cost great deal of money. |

TILE IRON INDNNIRY.

While all branches of manufacture felt the
force of the panic Of 1873 and have shown
the effect in subsequent depression, the iron
industry received the most serious blow. The
business of building railroads came to Il full
stop at moment when it had acquired its
greatest development in this country and there
is little prospect that it will ever again reach
such point OF expansion during the present
century, certainly not till Granger legislation
has died out and become forgotten. Railroads
furnish the great bulk of the demand for iron !;
and their increased demand prior to the panic
had caused great outlay for the production of
that metal in various forms. OF course, ever
since then, the means of supplying manufac-
tured iron have been enormously in excess of any
possible requirement As consequence, every
thing made of iron has been steadily falling in
price, till now the quotations are lower than
they have ever been known. Sometimes very
low prices will stimulate consumption and
create demand, but In the present instance
that has not happened, nor does it seem prOba-
bic in the near future. Our IOnworkeTs have
very properly made up their minds that iron
will be cheap for long while to come and
those of them who have survived arc to be
congratulated on having discovered how 70
make iron more cheapIy than ever before.
There is some soul of goodness in things
"evil," says the great dramatist and we may
be sure that the hard times have brought to
the nation along with much harm, some ben
eft. 1t has long been conceded tlat the chief
factors in Englands prosperity were cheap
coal and cheap iron the United States have
these to-day. Directly indirectly. all other
industries are dependent upon these elements !;
their cheapness determines the cost of all
other production. From the steamship that
ploughs the Atlantic to The log cabin that dots
the prairie, the amount of dollars and cents
expended is chiefly determined by the cost Of
iron and coal. The opportunity that is thus
afforded TO us as a nation has never been so
fairly presented before. Our builders of iron
ships claim that they can now construct for us
cheaper and better steamers than are built
upon the Clyde. American railroads are now
built with American rails very largely with
steel rails, which have quite ceased to be an
article of import Our manufacturers have
discovered-and every fresh discovery of the
sort seems to come to them a strange sur
prise-that they can export their fabrics and
wares to South America, Australia, and even

In England there is a gloomy forcboding on
this subject, which has found voice in many
public utterances. American good, especially
articles of cutlery and hardware, have pene-
tIated plst the seaports, and are now sold III
interior English towns, sometimes III those
where the specific manufacture has long held
sway. But il is not alone by America that
Fngland's supremacy IN trade Il threatened
Belgian iron-mnstcrs began to bid for English
engineering contracts only two or three years
ago, aud already a large sale OF iron from Bel
GUM is established in the tight little isle. The
tone of the British iron-masters iii discussing
this fact has very much changed. AT first they
laughed at the offer of foreign firm To sup
ply IRON for architectural purposes III London
Then they said, "These contracts must he
taken at n loss the business cannot last"
Now they stand aglast, and frankly acknowl-
edge that they do not understand how Belgian
iron can be sold cheaper than their own. Yet
the price of iron is very low in England, ana
well it may be, for the extension of the railway
system there, last year, was only 1910 per cent;
the increase of double tracks, 3 per cent? and
meanwhile the RAILROADS. Oh iie Dullcu hiDS-
dom fell behind the previous year in receipts,
expenditures, and net earnings. The substitution
of steel for iron rails HIS not only cut of large
branch of the British irOn-master's trade with
this country it has reduced the demand in
his own, because steel rails last longer. The
Mayor Of Middlesbrough said bitterly at the re-
cent Newcastle meeting of the British Iron
and Steel Institute that "this substitution
twas greatly TO the disadvantage OF trade"
Just at present, however, the iroo-workers OF
England find encouragement in large Govern
ment orders for building and equipping new
railroads in India. But since many years will
elapse before those enterprises yield profit,
the money that is spent upon them must come
from English purses. with small prospect of
return. The new prosperity that we hope for
in the United States will stand on an incOm-
parably firmer foundatiOn-the demands Of
consumers who pay for what they bry; not
the patronage of a Government that takes out
of the pockets of its subjects on the one hand
whatever it pays them on the other.

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1877-10-18

Senator William b. WoOdin has withdrawn
from the canvass in the XXVth District, and
the last of the Tweed Senators is driven irOm
public life. 1t shows how strong and adroit
and influential man Mr.. WCodin was, tn {
he should have lasted so long. OF all those
Republicans who sold themselves to Tweed, he
alone was able to survive the storm OF pub
lie indignation. While his unhappy col
leagues were hiding from the wrath Of the
people only too glad to be forgotten,
and one of them was even lying III
the prison cell toward which Tweed had
started him, Mr.. Woedin had wrestlcd with
his people for n denomination and had won it
then for reelection ard had won that and
thea Lad won and kept his place as undisputed
leader of tho Senate OF the Empire State, where.
b. strange satire upon events, he became the
conspicuous champion OF sO-called Municipal Re-
form. This process was repeated again and
again. Each time his audacity and personal
strength gained the victory for him each time
strong Republican district was nearly sacr-
feed to his ambition; each time the honest
public of both parties was shocked by the
spectacle of man, covered with suspicion as
with a garment, winning and wearing the
revelation concerning him was believed to be
true by nine tenths of the Republicans of the
State, and vet Mr.. Woodin was able to cap
ture another denomination, and would have
lost the Republican party vote in the Sen
ate, if he had been allowed to proceed with
his canvass.
This however. is comparatively a small
matter Mr.. Woodin's withdrawal does save o
Republican district, but it does more. 1t shows
that the jlst rctrbution which awaits the cor
rupt man cannot be forever defied. 1t is n
lesson in public decency, an encouragement to
every honest man in public life in this State.
THE TRIBUNE finds its full justification in
this result, not because it takes pleasure in
the downfall of any man, but because it has
stood alone in the Republican press of the
State in demanding for years past, Mr..
Woodn's retirement to private life. There is
no more melancholy sight in the world
than that of strong man crushed at
last by The weight OF his crimes, and
if THE TRIBUNE could at any time have
altered its belief concerning NJ. WOOdin, it
would gladly have relaxed its opposition. The
TRIBUNE has pcrsevered in it to the end, in
spite of abuse and calumny on all sides, not
because Of any hostility to HIM, but be
cause it was necessary, for the sake of pub
lie morals and for the sake of the Republican
party, that he should withdraw from place
for which he had made himself unfit.
