IRON.

Our deluded brethren of the South used to boast that Cotton was King; but this preten- sion received it's quietus at Appomattox, and we hear no more of it. Iron does not claim to be King because it has no pretension to royalty being more Democratic and Plebian to its tastes, but it might make some preten- sion to being Boss not in the Tammany or Ring sense, but in respect of it's importance to the business and wealth of the country.
 North Western Connecticut can boast of one pre-eminent interest-that of iron. It produces ths best iron ore the best pig iron, and the best car wheels in the world The rumblipg of it's car wheels greets the sun with reveille as he commences his daily course around the world, and sounds tattoo as he sinks to rest behind the Western horizon.
 The statistics published by the American Iron and Steel Association of Philadelphia, for the past year, prove that the Country is first in steel both as to production and con- sumption; first ill iron as to consumption though second in production and second as to coal both in production and consumption, the first place being held by England, while Germany occupies the third place, and is not greatly inferior to the United States. When compared with any of the three countries named, all others occupy relatively infe- rior position.
 The interesting point that America is the principal consumer of iron appears from the statistics which show that while England consumed about four millions of gross tons, this country absorbed about six and half million of net tons. England surpasses us in the production and manufacture of raw material used in the manufacture of iron, but only as to volume not as to processes, nor as to the consumption of the finished article. In the manufacture of steel we stand first, although England used last year ffty-five Bessemer converters to our thirty, the latter having produced more than the English have converted. The fact then is that we lead in consumption of certain branches of produc- ton and rather generally in manipulation. Our iron trade has also been more profitable, both to the master and to the workman, but not to the consumer. Finally onr iron and steel business advances far more rapidly than does the English, the reason being that the American iron trade has a safer home market than has the English. This prospect is undimmed for we offer better wages, higher profits and larger future than do our rivals.
