OF the War Office az we'll as to a considerable
amount Of change In the judiciary but
his position on the latter subject
matter is quite irreconcilable with that
of LOUIS BLANC, FLoQUET, and other
leaders OF the extreme Left. More and more,
therefore, as the end Of the Septennato
approaches, the pacific and regular
development OF iroo institutions in France
is seen TO hinge on the character and ca
pacity of single man. The signs are that
GAMBETTA will be found not unequal TO the
weight and dignity Of his task; but it is not
we'll for a commonwealth that any indlvid-
ual citizen should be so essential to its well
fare. That such should seem to be the case
in France Is fact Of capacious, not TO say
ominous, import.

What we are Doing in Iron and steel

One OF the most important industries Of
the country, and one which promises TO at
tain under the brighter skies OF the present
year even greater proportions than It now
has, is the iron trade. While In England the
iron business was greatly Frustrated last
year and continues to be in a state OF ex-
traordinary depression. bringing hardship
and suffering 10 many thousands OF opera
tives, its condition in the United States in 1878
showed an encouraging improvement over
1877, and the prospects OF 1879 are hope
full.
Mr.. JAMES NJ. SwANK, the Secretary of the
American Iron and Steel Association, reports
that our founders have no present fear OF
foreign competition. The iron manuiactur-
ers OF England, indeed, have reluctantly
given up the United States market as hope
lessly lost. and this loss has greatly helped
to depress the industry in that country and
TO increase the gloom which rests over its
future. Whereas our imports of railroad
bars amounted in value TO nearly twenty
millions Of dollars In 1879, in 1878 they fell of
to the insignificant sum of $3.50.
The London Iron, the organ OF the iron
and steel trade acknowledges that our
existing plant for making BEssEAiER steel is
far in excess Of possible requirements and
that as iron rails are now almost entirely
superseded by steel, 1t follows that English
railmakers have lost one great customer"
It's only hope is that "the agricultural
population" will arise In its might and tako
away tho tariff on iron and Steel thus re-
fusing "tO submit TO the domination of
Pennsylvania and the textile manufacturing
tint aa xuh ~
course" 1t therefore urges the American
free traders TO close up their ranks and
stump and pamphletlzo the country If they
wish to release the agriculturists from tho
bondage in which they are held" We do
not, however, discover any indications that
such movement is at present In progress
In the country.
The statistics OF the iron trade OF the
United States show that our production OF
pig iron in 1878 was 1882, 900 tons, against
2,3l4,5 S5 tons in 1877, though there were six
teen fewer furnaces In blast at the close of
last year than at the close of 1871 This, of
course, indicates that those actually at work
produced more on the average than in tho
lattor yoar; but the prices OF pig iron are
so low that many furnaces were run with
out profit While In both steel and iron
rails there was an Improvement, in pig and
bar iron there was decline from the ex-
ceptionally low prices of 1871 in the ono
case OF $3.50 ton, and in the other of 1924
ton. Tho founders hope, however, that
prices are at last at the lowest point to
which they can fall. and anticipate a con-
tinuance OF tho Increased domand which
characterized the old year.
