the United States in the four years from
1874 10 1877 inclusive. As the product
Of Pittsburgh for 1873 was at least as
large AZ that Of 1877, the alarming con-
dillon Of Pittsburgh Is not apparent.
Total make Of steel In Pittsburgh and
Allegheny county Including Bessemerl
in 1874, 23,9l5 tons; in 1877, 107, las
tons; increase, sS,233 tons, or 34S per
cent. Total make of steel in the United
States in 1874, PAL, GA tons; in 1877,
637, 972 tons; increase, 396, 1853 tons, or
l64 Der cent. Here also Pittsburgh
Jared better than the United States.
The make Of crucible steel alone In
Pittsburgh was, in 1874, IL, 9l5 tons; in
1877. 24,747 tons; increase, 6,SS2 tons.
The increase OF the make OF crucible
steel alone was more than the decrease
of the make of rolled iron. The total
make of steel and iron in Pittsburgh and
Allegheny county in 1874 was 29S, $40
IONS; in 1877, 375,6S4 tons; increase,
II, O84 tons, OF about 81 per cent.
III further confirmation Of this side OF
the question is needed, it will be found
i'm Capt. Evans statistics OF the receipts
of raw iron at Pittsburgh for the past
eight years, which We print in another
place It will be seen that the receipts
for 1878 are the largest OF any year in
the series, and more than % per cent.
larger than those OF 1872, the year pre-
ceding the panic. Notwithstanding the
bankrupt mills and the idle pudding
furnaces it is evident that Pittsburgh is
doing her full share of the iron trade OF
the country; and in view Of the enor-
NOUS development of the steel industry
and the substitution of steel for iron,
the fact that only % per cent. OF the
pudding furnaces are idle, is really re-
markable.

The Alarming Condition OF the Iron
Trade Of Pittsburgh.

American Manufacturer.
A sensational article in one of the
Pittsburgh daihes has the following
healing: Bankrupt Mills. 0ne-fOurth
% our Iron Works living in IdleneSs.
Alarming Condition Of the Pittsburgh
Iron Trade. What Is the Cause Of Ito"
IL shows that LIS single pudding fur
naceS, or % per cent. Of the entire num-
Der, are idle. BY their idleneSs over
!, 100 iron workers are kept out of en-
plOyment, and a daily circulation Of
81, $50 Is lost In the city. 1t SAYS fur
Their that while One-thiri OF our iron
mills are idle, the remaining twO-thirds
are not turning out on an average more
than from 80 10 IS per cent. OF the iron
they were making before the panic. We
propose 10 apply few statistics to this
case, and show that il is not so bad as is
pretended.
From the last official statistics of the
American Iron and Steel Association,
bringing the figures down TO the end II
1871, the figures for 1878 are not yet
published We take the following:
Total rolled iron, including nails, pro-
duced in Pittsburgh and Allegheny
county in 1877, 26S,+S6 tons; ditto in
1874, s274,625 tons; decrease 6,lS9 tons,

GOV. SEYMOUR ON POLITICIANS

GOV. SEYMOUR ON POLITICIANS.
IL is rather strange and unusual to
find a man Of Gov. SEYNoUR's large Of
fetal experience and integrity teStiiying
to the virtue Of politicians, and when we
remember that the Governors public
life has been spent in the home Of the
TVEEDS and the FIsSS, and such. We
must give him, at least, credit for great
charity toward his contemporaries in
political life.
We think the testimony Of public
men, whose moral character is as free
from tarnish as that Of Gov. SEYNoUR's,
has been rather against the politician As
a class. Their experience, ami certainly
the general impression has not been
that political life is in its influence ele-
waiting, but the contrary. Yet Gov.
SEYNoUR takes issue with all these no.
tons, anu passes the highest eulogy-
and We may add, the first and the only
one-on the politician We have ever
met. lie SAYS:
Il never loved the exercise 81 power,
never cared particularly for public
places, but | always liked politics, and
what is more, | like politicians. They
are Nuch abused class Ii is the
fashion 10 sneer at them, but l think
they are better men a. rule than mer-
chants and bankers and other repre-
Sentntives OF what Is called respecta-
hility. They make more sacrifices and
do more unSel6Sh work for Others than
business men ever think Of doing
They cultivate a certain chivalric
sense OF honor. Even some who are
naturally corrupt will refuse the
most tempting brides when the
integrity Of their party is involved.
have seen enough OF pOliti-
cal life 10 satisfy me that its in
fuence is elevating and not degrading.
I would much rather b. tried bv Jury
OF my political opponents who we're az
knOwled politicians, than by a jury Of
respectable business men who said that
they took no particular interest in noli-
tics, but usually voted the Republican
ticket. From them | should expect
gross injustice and prejudice ten times
as intense rs my ayOwel political OppO
nentS would display. The man who
serves a cause, il IL Is not a positively
bad cause, is ennobled by the service.
He learns 10 look at men, as well as doe
trineS, from higher standpoint than
mere personal seldShneSS. Hence re-
peat that | like politicians as well as
politics, but do not like office"

ship for Maryland, to succeed Judge
GILEs, deceased, was sent to the Senate
