the six years he remained with them. wit
ness had never been q member of the Com
munity, but worked for them. His evil
dence was of little importance, his state

Free Trade and Peace.

At the recent annual meeting of the
Golden Club In London the Right Hon
w. K. Baxter expatiated on the old, old
theme, that as soon as free trade shall
have been accepted by the whole world
the lions and the lambs among the ma
tions of the earth will lie down in the
most beatifc condition of harmony and
peace. Since Mr.. Golden presented the
roseate vision of the good time coming
when the war drums should be hung up
in the British Museum as so many mill
tary curiosities his disciples have chung
to the optimistic prophecy with fervor
and devotion that Is without q parallel
In This prosaic age. 1t is idle to point
out to them that England, since free
trade became fashionable, has hal as
many wars on her hands in all quarters
of the world as she had when she was
welded TO the monster of protection.
Mr.. Cobden's followers, in hugging their
pet delusion however, close their eyes
and ears against everything which does
not support their favorite theories. The
settlement of the Alabama difficulties by
arbitration Is fondly dwelt upon as an
evidence OF the success and correctness
OF their principles and ideas. 1t is really
difficult to see how they can derive any
comfort or consolation from that memoir
able event in the settlement of interna-
rional disputes. The idea was not En-
glish. IL was American. The suggestion
did not come from the followers and ad-
vocates of the policy of free trade, but
from the gentleman In the very oppo-
site establishment. Free trade Is good
thing In Its way, the right thing under
certain conditions and circumstances,
but 1t is not the embodiment of all the
national and international virtues.-N.

The Importation of Iron Ore.

The board Of merchants appointed tc
appraise certain cargoes of iron ore Al
the rort Of Baltimore have about con.
cluded their labors, only two cases re-
naming. The board was appointed TO
decide Oh the manner prescribed by law
the question as to the true foreign mark.
ct value Of ores ct the date Of their ex-
portation, there being wide difference
In opinion as to the value between the
importer and the appraisers Office. The
importation Of Iron, lore forms q large
part of Baltimore's trade, and the matter
is, Of course, of much importance. there
being an average of forty cargoes arriv-
ing per month, Of 1000 tons each, At an
average cost on entry of $2.45 per ton,
the estimated duty thereon being $19, 600
per month. The qualities and prices
were various and consisted of the pro.
ductions Of English, Spanish, Italian and
French-Aleerian mines. Appeals were
taken by five different importers from
the local appraisers fixing the value of
the ores at the port of expectation, and
In several instances penal duty was
enforced. The board found the task no
easy one. the evidence adduced pro and
con DeinB VOiumiuOus ana many lnLTl.
cate questions arising, such as the actnal
market value at the date of the exporta-
ton; whether the market prices were
fixed or whether subject to fluctuations;
whether any royalty was paid to local
governments; the proper rate of ocean
freight and insurance, as we'll as the
chemical analysis to ascertain the per-
centage of pure metallic iron and of
manganese contained IN the ore. The
decision rendered by the board was as
follows: "Tbe price of the English ore
(blue lilly was fixed at 12 shillings per
ton, an advance of 98-100 per cent. on
invoice cost; on Spanish at 9S pesados
ordinary and IA pesados ON manganifer-
GUS ores,an advance Of 8 $500 per cent.
on the former and 744-100 on the latter;
on Italian or Elban ores at IA 25 100
paper liras per tor, IAN advance OF . 81-1OO
per cent, and on Algerian ore at 10
shillings and 8 pence per ton, an ad.
vance Of II 40 100 per cent" The deci-
sion of the local appraisers was affirmed
on the Tafna and Spanish ores, but not
on the Elban ore, in no case any penal
duty accrue.

take measures to suppress the report
of the Superintendent Of the Bank De-
partment, just issued, in which that
official shows that during the first six
months Of this year the deposits in
the savings banks Of this city have
increased over those of the previous
half year by ten millions of dollars,
and that an equal increase is credit
ed to savings banks in other portions
of the state. One savings bank here
has reported a surplus OF about ST.
100000 and another of about 50, ,4OO,-
