II steel nails are better than iron nails
shall show they may be also cheaper than iron
nails as the steel can be mnde in the common

iron can be made. II Is only necessary to stop
the process of Decentralization, by which the
pig iron is converted into wrought Tor pure)
iron little quicker, that Is, while the charge
contains the small percentage of carbon which
gives II the character Of steel, and you have
your steel and ii there is larger percentage
OF manual labor expended In producing the
puddlcd steel than enters into the cost of steel
made by the Bessemer process, the enormous
cost of the plant required for Bessemer steel
more than makes up for 1t, so your protegcs-
the Wheeling pudd1ers-need not find "thcir
occupation gone III they are wise.
We do not find that steel rails cost less than
iron ones, and II Is not solely because they are
better that the price is kept up. 1t Is because
capital is more ineXorable and expensive than
labor. Labor asks only remuneration, capital
demands profits and guarantees In addition
The. Bessemer. steel makers capital is so
cownrdly that II won't undertake tosupply the

from these large gun blocks had q tensile
strength of 900 pounds to the inch of section
and a ductility which permitted bar half
inch square and twelve inches long to be
drawn cold into wire nearly half mile long
Yet this remarkable steel was made In q com
mon pudding furnace, with less expenditure
of time and labor than would have been re-
quircd If 1t had been made into common

SOME of our democratic contemporaries
are asking why did Mr.. Blaine delay
bringing his libel suit until the Infamous
story was published in Indiana? Why
didn't he sue the Chicago Times, which
published tho story ten days before IL was
mentioned in the indianapolis sentincli
The reason is very plain. The ridiculous
fiction which the Chicago Times published
is not the malicious lie which the In.
dianapolis Sentinel published. In the
Chicago Times story Mr. Bluine figures In
tho character Of gay deteivor at a
kentucky female seminary, and tho
victim was naineless pupil of Surprising
beauty, who became the subject of gossip
in the village for time, and then disap-
peared, to be heard of no more. The
story was evidently written by some very
eallow youth, and was probably intended
as a burlesque. The Indianapolis Sentinel
also locates the victim of Mr.. Blaine's
seductive wiles at Kentucky seminary,
and invents various thrilling scenes, in
which big brothers of the injured girl
coorce the unwilling lover with shot
guns and revolvors, and bring about a
matrimonial relation which still exists.
Mr.. Blaine summons tho libeler into
court in. this case because the malicious
fabrication defames his wife. He took
no notice of the Chicago publication DO.
