How the Ratification of the Spanish Treaty
Would Affect the Iron Trade.
CHICAGO, December lS.-As to the Span

the North Chicago rolling mills to-day, "the
State of our trade is so bad that absolute
free trade could hardly make it any worse.
TIE mills are an closed and the men are all
idle. All talk about an impending revival
Of the industry is nonsense. There is moth.
ing to produce it. The railroads are all
idle, and are buying what iron they need
from hand to mouth, so to speak. They do
not need TO contract for it, for the longer
they wait, the cheaper, they think, they can
buy it, OF course, if the Spanish treaty
should be ratified it would kill the bust
ness dead, and there would never be re
vival of it. A party of Pennsylvania iron
men have spent 81 ,OOO. 900 developing iron
mines in CtlbeSsShere labor costs & cents
day, and now they want their ore admitted
free into this country where labor costs 81 a
day. If they carry their point. that is the
end of the iron business in this country;
that's all.

THIs is the way it is alleged Mr. WArTER'
SON, of the Louisville Courier Journal, talks
bcut SANuEL J. RANDALL in connection
with the Presidentelect:
SveehH From Fc'AiagtoR.
The general impression among politt-
cans here Is that Mr.. Randall has lowered
tiuseli ard shown his true colOrs in putting
himself in the hands of few crsnks and
sorc heads who want to use him as a stick
10 beat his colleagues, whose only crimes
are that they are honest revenue retormers
Who represent the people and would reduce
war taxes. The idea Of an ovation to 3
man Who six months ago was acting with the
Republicans 10 defeat a Democrat meas
IRE is secuted Mr. Randall is not on
Speaking terms with half the leaders OF his
own patty, though on cordial terms with
the Republicans. The story that he is a
isvOrite with the new President IS hatly
COnlradicted by those who know. 1t is
even stated that the mention OF Randall
name in Connection with the Cabinet is Of
fcrsive TO Mr. Cleveland, who understands
end believes that any suspicion Of being
RaEdsl!s friend would wreck his admins
tEatOU on the threshold ~
Mr.. WArrFEsoS uses the epithet crank
with good deal of freedom. No doubt he
is entitled to DO so on the ground that he
has had that epithet applied to himself on
various occasions from as many quarters of
the contrary. The application OF the term
tC Mr.. RANDALL is unfortunate because 1t
has no foundation. When this gentleman
spoke in Wheeling during the campaign,
bis argument was logical and conservative,
showing him to be a man of broad
and valuable thought. The trouble with
NATTERSoS, MOERIsoS and others Of that
class Of tariff reformers, they are so cranky
and radical that they are unable to accom-
Phsh anything in practical politics. If Mr..
MORRISON and his cohorts had not been
sbeckmated BY Mr. RANDALL in the House
ast summer it is doubtful if Mr. CLEyE-
LAMB would have been the President-elect.
