IN 1t PEACE

Old Uncle JOHN BULL may paw and
scrape to his hearts content, but with
the Turkish capital in possession Of the
Russian army, tho BEAR of tho North
can afford 20 keep his temper. Peace, We
should think, ought not now to be far of,
ard pretty much such peace as the Gar
desires. When BISMARCK overthrow
the French armies, he took posses.
sion OF the Gay Capital" and
from it dictated his own terms o!
settlement, while England and the
Continental Powers looked complacently
on. There seems to be no solid reason
why Russia should not follow the ex-
ample SGT by his German reighbor. The
Turk ia but q cNpet-bsggcr in Europe.
His religion, his social customs, his
political ideas, are sll bsrbsric, and In

ton and advancement. Should the Gar
choose TO utterly eXpell him from the
Continent, 10 drive him back 70 Heather
Asia, no one should object. Should the
Czsr exact the absolute freedom of tie
Bosphorus, he would do only that which
is natural. The Gar should no more
tolerate interference with the free nsvi-
cation of that important thoroughfare
than America should with the untrsm-
melled navigation of the Mississippi
River.
What Austris, and England, snd
France, and Italy will say about the
terms of peace Russia may see fit to sub
nit, we know not; but IN view of the
composed manner in which they looked
on when Prussia was squeezing France,
it seems pretty safe 10 conclude that there
will be no armed interference.

TuEPKOPgsED TARIFF.

The new revenue bill, now I'm der con-
sideration by the Ways and Means Com
mittee OF Congress, proposes to disturb
the tariff on iron, to a small extent, and
the manufacturers of pig, bar, and rail-
road iron are in something OF a commo-
ton therest. A monster meeting OF
those interested will be held IN Pitts
burgh on Saturday night, in which the
Steubenvllle manufacturers and work
men will participate, for the purpose OF
protesting against the passage OF the
bill. On the same night meeting Will
be held at the Court House, in this city
having like object, under the auspices
of the workingmen of the city.
As we said yesterday, we do not be-
lieve this is q time to tamper with the
tariff. The attention Of the country Is
now absorbed with discussion OF the
public finances, and the public mind is
not in condition to calmly discuss meas
ures of revenue reform. The prospects
in the iron business are TO the last degree
di:couraCing, and no man can rs yet dis
Germ in the future the ray of light which
marks the point of favorable change
For FIVE years past the decline ma:
been constant, sometimes rapid
but generally gradual, the de-
crease being about 10 per cent. each
during the two years last past. Since
the opening OF 1878 refined iron and
nails have declined IN price nearly two
hundred per cent, or in the ratio OF 50 tc
81. The condition of the trade five &c
eight wears ago was a; unhealthy as 1t ls
to-dav--it being ~ excessive then as 1t Is
now depressed. At that time both sides
of the Atlantic could hardly furnish iron
as fast as the trade demanded il; in fact,
there WAS an iron famine; now not more
than one tenth of the capabilities OF pro-
dution are realized, and, from the
miner to tne blacksmith, every depart
ment Of iron industry Is unremuneratiVe
Combinations have again and again
been made among manufacturers, by
which it has been hoped TO preserve uni
form rates and sustain prices. In every
case they have failed, unless we except
the experiment now being tried to limit
production, as such combinations among
business men always fail when trade /:
degonersting. Meanwhile the same
causes which will bring about change
for the better in the general trade of the
community, will affect this interest like
wise. For the present, we can only pa
tiently wait; but it is our duty to insist
upon Congress letting us alone.

HAM q copy OF a petition to Congress in
favor of msintaing the present rates OF

no change be made.
