THE IRON INTEREST.
The Demand for Steel Rails Somewhat I'M
prOved-Prices Advancing.

The Demand for Steel Rails Somewhat Inn
prOved-Prices Advancing.
Pittsburg Special.
The demand for steel rails has again improved
though no very large orders on the market,
and prices are still advancing, being quoted at
$50 at mill to-day. The plan for combination
of the steel rail interests is still talked Of and
reports are current as to such a combination
actually having been formed, but they with
out foundation. The Pennsylvania rail-makers
feel that they have the market virtually in their
own hands as long at prices remain as low as $50
and Western mills are kept out. The mills
throughout the State have plenty of work on
hand to last them until next year, and are feel
ing in better spirits than other iron steel men,
Light sections sell at various prices, about $33
to 1914 being quoted FOR 35 pound sections
The pig-iron market is in very unsatisfactory
condition Mill irons show additional weakness
and further decline is looked for although a
good many grades of iron are now claimed to be
selling at bare cost. Good makes have sold at
$3.50, delivered, and very fair brand at $l6,
while the best grades are hard to move at $l70
1850 Mill owners are having dull trade and
with the evident weakness in crude iron, have a
double reason for not wishing TO stock up
Foundry irons show little Improvement in de-
mand every few days but by the time the hopes
of the makers and brokers getting well up, it
drops back to the old condition of dullness and
weakness. Quotations remain unchanged at
$1,000 so for No. 1, and $17 500 Is so for No q
Brokers of foreign irons are anxiously seeking
orders, but with very Indifferent success. The
demand has been steadily declining for long
time and seems to have reached almost nothing
Bessemer has been without movement for some
time, and is quoted nominally at $40. Spiegele-
isen is freely offered at 500 so for 20 per cent
and orders have been taken at $26, but there are
no buyers
Manufactured iron of all kinds is unusually
dull. The mills on plain bars are almost out
of orders and the anxiety for new business
is increasing, giving very unsettled
character to the market Prices can go
no lower however The structural and plate
mills are rather better situated, some few being
quite busy and all looking forward to the plac
ing of some good orders within the month. But
political affairs must be settled before large buy
ers will feel sufficient confidence to make large
purchases.
Old rails are in fair request. and sale is just
reported at price equal to $18 here for lot to
be shipped from Southern port. The market
generally is dull and quiet, and inquiry is light
giving little reason to hope for much activity

British Interference.


Philadelphia Press,
We are not responsible for the policy of Eng
land. The methods her peculiar necessities
compel her to adopt are best known to herself.
But when, by example and precept, by appeals
so persistent that they approach the line of inn
pertinence, she urges us to follow her lead, we
are justified in scrutinizing her condition, her
motives and the degree of success she has at
tanned in securing to the great mass of her peo-
pie their fair share of the good things of this life
The conditions of America and England do
not correspond Instead of an insu-
lar situation our domain is continental
our climate and soil capable of rendering the Ma
ton self-supporting in all the essentials of mod
ern civilization, instead of being limited to the
production of little food and much coal We
need not look beyond our borders for all that
goes to make happy and prosperous Nation.
Under these conditions there is no occasion to
initiate the policy which may from time to time
be forced upon England, merely because vision
airy theorists like Hurd, Morrison, Carlisle and
other leaders of the Democratic party urge it.
We will not NEEDLE with British affairs (unless
compelled to teach her to respect our own,) but
we cannot accept her experience, as illustrated
by the condition of her people, as being worthy
of adoption by America, even when thrust upon
us by the Democratic party

our cheap labor we could supply your markets
at rate less than you can, and therefore you
have no need of manufacturing enterprises.
This destructive measure has ever been advo-
Gated by the Democracy of the country, and
never more so than by the present managers of
that party. If the national Democratic ticket
should be elected, its enactment would surely
follow, and so long as 1t should exist, it would
necessarily reduce to the position of Il British
province. If this should ever be. accomplished,
what would be the result! Internal strife, riot,
chaOs-the destruction of our Republic.
10 verify this view Of the question allow me
to ask the voting manhood who is this man
Cleveland The man who has not only been
indorsed by the entire press of Great Britain,
but who has also been championed by the Royal
Orange lodges of British North America. Bear
this in mind, We Irish Democrats. Who is this
man Cleveland The pronounced and enthusiast
tic friend of the grinding monopoes of his
State The man who, as Governor of the State
of New York, vetoed every bill passed by the
Legislature in the interest of workingmen. And
will the workngmen Of the State of California
support the ticket which would elevate such an
enemy If they should they would prove
worthy of the elective, franchise, because all
their grievances may and can be righted through
the ballotbo if they but exercise the privilege
with the consideration of freemen. Who is
this man Cleveland! The man with a charac
ter which would exclude him from the happy
homes of the land for home retain
happiness without virtue and no homo could
remain virtuous If such serpent were admit
ted. This then, is the unclean person that
the degenerate Democracy had the temerity
to place at the head of their ticket. What an
insult to the intelligence and manhood of the
Nation, | reassert this presidential campaign is
far more to Americans than a mere party affair.
1t is struggle between America and a foreign
power-nay, more than all this, it is a contest
between republican freedom and the insufferable
arrogance of monarchical entertainments
The directing power of Great Britain breads
the elevation of James G. Blaine to the presi-
dency of the United States They have meas
ured lances with him, and therefore know his
outward trend As he is the most progressive
and aggressive statesman of all our public men,
he necessarily understands better the require
ments of the Nation. He once said, and l shall
never forget his bearing on the occasion: Il
shall, pointing to our flag above the Capitol,
hope to see that flag command the admiration
of all nations" Our nation requires new de-
parture, and this outward trending must be di-
rected by James G. Blaine But this most de-
sirable operation cannot be accomplished in a
manner worthy of Nation of giants of he is
handicapped by a conservative Congress playing
into the hands of England. We must, therefore,
give him expansive Congress. 50 that our out
ward progTessiveness and aggressiveness may
not disappoint mankind. JOHN MoCAFFERTY.

saw to-day prominent German brewer, just
returned from Hamburg, Germany. He said he
wished to warn American of what the effect
would be on the brewing interests if the free
trade party should get in power in America
This gentleman said he visited breweries in
Hamburg where men were working for thirty
cents day. and where they sold beer for So. 80 a
barrel. Said he: "When l asked the German
brewer why he did not ship his beer to America,
he said The Republican party has kept on a
tariff of Sc barrel, which would make ordinary
lager beer cost 50 so barrel in America"
II asked the German brewer what he would
do if free trade prevailed and they took this
duty off German beer. He said Why then
could send German beer to America. The freight
would be 81 a barrel, and l would send ten car

per barrel If the Democrats get into power we
will supply German beer cheaper than the Amer

"Afterward," said the American German
brewer 81 asked him what would be the final
result, and he said: Wewould continue to make
beer for America till the laborers in the Ameri-
can breweres were willing to work for thirty
cents" In conclusion he advised all German
brewers in America to protect themselves against
such result by voting for high-tarif party

WHEELING, W. Va, Oct 13-A dispatch to
the Intelligencer states that the Attorney gen
eral has at last succeeded in getting from the
Springer committee the report of the special
agents of the investigation of the charges of
Congressman Gibson against the United States
marshal Of this State The report covers one
hundred and thirty pages written with type
writer Mr. Gibsons charges were sweeping,
and were taken up by Democratic newspapers
generally and spread throughout the land, to the
effect that Marshal Atkinson was corrupt man,
and would undoubtedly be removed from Office.
The agents, after spending two months in the
State, report that not a single charge was sus-
tanned. and close their report by saying they
found Marshal Atkinson an honest intelligent
and faithful officer. The report was made to the
Springer committee last June, and it was not
made public till to-day.

A New Suggestion for the Prime Meridian

WASHINGTON. Oct. 13-At the meeting of the
meridian congress at the State Department to-
day one of the American delegates will submit a
resolution drawn up by citizen and indorsed
by number of clergymen of Washington, urg-
the congress to adopt the meridian running
through Bethlehem. 1t is claimed that as the
date is reckoned from the year of the birth of
Christ by all Christian nations, the adoption of
the meridian as the prime which runs through
by all nations of the civilized earth The con
gress will doubtless give the suggestion the re
spectful attention it deserves, but as there are
so many objections to be urged it is quite un-
likely that it will be seriously discussed.

But fall in line with hopeful tread,
To swell the triumph all sublime;
Come up in Freedoms radiant name
Put on the armor for the fray
And mid the battles fire and flame
Press and win the glorious day.
Swear once again the sacred VOW
Your fathers paid on alters high,

The foemen gather far and nigh;
BY all the crystal tears that rained-
By all the blood so freely she'd
By all the graves richly stained
Pitch not your tents among the Dead"
Heed not the sound from bulwarks high
Built on the plains where serfdom fell,
Whose trumpet blare now fills the sky,

Up from the shadows of the past
Out from the paths where foemen tread
The days flying swift and fast
pitch not your tents among the Dead %
Stand with the men who braved the STORM
Stand with the men who made us free!

One endless chain from sea to sea!

Where martyred heroes nobly led
And in the futures coming light
