TRr resul. OF the late election in West

The Republican party inaWest Virginia
went into the campaign on It's own bottom,
and went through the CANVASS under its

TRICKS OF CANADIAN EXPORTERS

TRICKS OF CANADIAN EXPORTERS.
Tho Peculiar Way in Which They snc.
eecded In Com pciing with Americana.
i. BUFFALO, October l0.-The custom au.
thorities OF this and other American cities
have been looking into the doings Of some
Canadian exporters Of iron, and 'tletermin-
ed to discover how it was that Canadian
firm could export roofing iron to the Uni.
ted States and compete successfully against
the iron men OF Pennsy ylyania and other
points where Uncle Sam's3I hardware Is
manufactured. The circumstance which
raised their apprehensions was that a
Montreal firm known rs Scott Brothers had
been doing an txceedidgly good business
with American customers. The American
iron men were at loss TO understand
how they could be beaten on their
own soil. they therefore complained
and hence the e1amination : byT. "the
officers. It is q alleged that the
firm in question imported :the iron from
from Great Britain to Canada and paid a
duty Of l23 cents upon it, then after q PRO.
cess OF manufacturing they exported the
iron roofing and got drawback Of 10 her
cent upon it. Thus they only paid q cents
duty upon 1t to start with. They sent il
into the United States vailed at Ct cents
per pound, and paid the American duty
upon that sum, forgetting to announce that
the value Of the iron had been enhanced
in any way by; their manipulation Of Il.
Having satisfied themselves that they had
ground for such action, the American au-
thorities pounced upon $1,000 pounds Of
iron at Cleveland, Ohio, and l5O, 900
pounds at St. Albans, Vt. This WAS I'D.
praised at live cents pound, and the own
ers were made to pay a penalty OF about
$1,000 The practice will be broken I'm.
and American manufacturers will be iully
