The Cincinnati Commercial says Score
tary Sherman would have saved himself
some annoyance and good deal of mis-
representation had he ascertained the legal
ity of the proceeding before issuing his or
ders of the Sd and 9TH inst. His latest order
shows that he has really taken no back track
in his steps toward resumption, but has sim
ply adopted another method, paying out
standard silver dollars for ordinary ex-
penses of the Government. The coin is to
be disbursed by agents and Paymasters,
Assistant Treasurers and national bank de-.
positories. 1t reaches the same end as th.t
contemplated in the resclnded order, but
by more circuitous method.

Iron Int. ut
MBER 2s. 1873

We learn that the pre- vi : ,rs OF Ferrol,
are receiving propositions ire different Iron
Companies 10 Pennsylva lila, or their ores
to be smelted at their flu 1ace i. There are
now being filled several contracts, and as
MES learn of their quality they too are en-
deavoring Ito consumma negotiations for
supplies. These facts a~gue well for the
character of the various ores Of Ferroll, and
indicate their value more surely than any
scientific analysis that could be made. They
further attest the fact that iron could be
manufactured in Virginia cheaper than it is
being manufactured in Pennsylvania, and
that if we had the Rolling Mills here to
utilize the manufactured iron, there would
be no difficulty in realizing remunerative
profits in the iron business.
As was remarked to us the other day by
gentleman who has had twenty years ex-
perience in the iron trade, there is no point
south of the Potomac so well situated as
Staunton for the establishment of Rolling
Mill. We are located at the Junction of two
railroads, where the advantage of freight
competition could be obtained we have iron
ores in every direction to feed hundred
furnaces, and all the material elements
which contribute to the manufacture of iron
at the very lowest possible cost. With a
Rolling mill started, nail and horse shoe
factories would soon follow, and the nucleus
formed for the building of an iron centre,
that would of necessity grow in dimensions,
giving employment to hundreds of laborers
and artizans. and furnishing home market
for farm produce, thus adding to the wealth
and prosperity of the community.
1t is not our purpose now to dwell at any
length upon this subject. We merely wish
to:present the matter for the consideration
of our people, with the remark that we may
never expect any substantial growth in bust
ness Importance and affiuence, until we
avail ourselves of our patural advantages to
establish and encourage manufactures. We
may strive and struggle as we please our
farmers may delve and dig as they chose !;
but so long as we have not cooperative in
dustries to keep in our midst the results of
our energies and industry, we must remain
comparatively poor. With industries such
as we have indicated, tue productions of the
community would be stimulated, for we
would have home market for everything.
All classes OF trade would participate in the
benefits, and the foundation laid for mutual
advancement that could never be secured
from any other source. With the many ma
terial advantages we possess, it is strange
that some such project as we have suggested,
has not long since been inaugurated. It is
only the start that is wanted, and that in
stituted there would be very little difficulty
in attracting demand, and forming the
centre of large and lucrative manufactur-
ing interest.

It does not require prophetic wisdom to
discover the drift Of political events and the
capitalization which will assuredly be con-
summated in the near future. The capture
of the Democratic party in the New Eng
land States by the Greenbackers, under the
lead Of Butler, must necessarily drive its
respectable element into ASSOCIATION with
the Republican party upon the issue of ma
tional integrity and fidelity to solemn
pledges, as well as in defence of the inter
ests of the people. The nationals or green
hackers propose thorough and radical
revolution in our financial system the dis
turbance Ct all the relations of trade /; with
no adequate substitute to recommend for
that they would destroy and no given policy
that looks to the preservation of the guards
which stand sentinel around the honest in
dustry of the country. The lines will be
drawn between the fused Democrats and
Greenbackers, representing national faith
values deranged and unsettled, and food
OF irredeemable paper money ramtfled
through all the channels OF trade, render
tain, with the assured result of general
prostratlon and ruin to the labor interest of
the country and the Republican party rep
resenting just the reversal preserved ma
tional honor, solid, safe basis for business,
a currency -auctuating, with equal pur-
chasing power with gold and silver, and con-
vertible into it; recognized standard to
regulate values; labor rewarded with legit-
innate returns; and general prosperity per-
vading all the avenues of industry.
This is the paramount issue now for
the people to determine, and to array them
selves on either side as their judgment and
conscience may dictate.

Markets..

The markets have experienced very little
change since our last publication Wheat Is quo
ted at % to 9s, and very active-consideraDie
quantities Offering and readily taken at quota
tons, The farmers are now meeting their fertil-
izer notes, and until they are through with them.
the activity will continue. Flour is quoted 1or
best brands OF extra at "a 20, with very httie on
tie market, it being more profitable to ship the
wheat Corn is scarce and strong demand at 56c;
oats sb to 2s; bacon, hog round, 81. Very few
conntry hams and shoulders in market.
The report from the European crop OF wheat
"a discouraging. A review OF the crop condition
nv the London correspondent OF the New York
Times states that the yield is below expectations
and much damaged by the rains. 1t is stated that
larger importations will be made from America
than ever before, and we would not be surprised
II the october and November market does not
show decided Improvement.

The basis of the amount of circulation in
Virginia is the products of the State. II
we did not have bank in the State, and
had SIC, 1000, 900 of surplus productions, we
would have $lO,Ooo,0oO in circulation. It
shows how superficial is the notion of those
who claim that because there is only So, O0O,-
600 Of banking capital in Virginia, that that
is the amount of circulation. We have. be-
fore exposed this nonsense, and only now
mention it that the people may keep it in
mind and think over it.
