The youngstown Nars has the follow
ing: Colonel Roswell Shurtlih, residing
on Champion street, is one Of the oldest
nailers in the United States, having been
engaged in the business for over forty
years. Upon being asked concerning the
price paid for making nails thirty years
ago, as compared with the present, Colonel
Shurtiiff said: 1.-THE price paid for max
ing l0d nails in 1854, west Of the Allie
gheny mountains. was 20 cents per keg.
At the same time the price for cutting I'D
was 65 cents per keg. Just before the
close Of President BuChanRn's administra-
ton the price Of making ID was 90 cent?.
The price for making l0d / do not remem-
Der, but the proportion would be 10 cents
per key. By this you will see that the
Western nail manufacturers are now try
ing 10 bring down the price Of making
nails lower than 1t ever was during the
free trade administration OF Pierce and
Buchanan. Here is q letter written by
Jack Sourbeck, from New Castle, to me,
June s, 1854, in which he gives the prices
paid there for making nails. The prices

CLEVELAND, O., Nov. 24.-At Delaware,
Ohio, to-day, Mrs. William Dunlap, who
had formerly moved in good society, being
a member OF 3 leading church, was sent to
jail for sixty days, to subsist upon bread
and water, and fined 500 for cruelty to
her step-children. The story OF the cruelty
as brought out at the trial is most
shocking. A few days since she covered
the body of one OF the children, little
girl, with soft soap, pumped coal water on
the little one and scrubbed her with a
broom. The other child, boy, had been
suspended in deep we'll by rope. Other
cruelties were reported by the Humane
Society in prosecuting the case. The
woman was followed to jail by crowd OF
800 people, who jeered and hooted and
talked freely Of tar and feathers.

The Commercial Gazette, speaking on the
same subject, says: "The Eastern manu-
facturers see ruin staring them in the face
II the nail operators Of the West are able
to force the 17.cent scale on the nailers |;
their trade is gone and they must shut up
their mills. There has never been much
love, anyhow, between the Eastern and
the Western manufacturers Of either iron
or nails, and at nearly any time they have
been commercially willing to cut each
others thToats." The same paper as
serts that certain sum was agreed upon
to be paid into the United Nailers' Treas
ury each week, and since the meeting was
held, some weeks ego, the checks have
been regularly received from the East.
Further promises were made that this sup
port should extend, II necessary, till next
June.
The statement is also made that "since
the middle OF August the Nailers' Asso-
citation, through It's proper officials, has
been paying out money, not so much for
the support Of its members as for the feed
ers who have been thrown on their hands.
Since last Tuesday alone they have paid
out over 81 800, and, Notwithstanding
such drains on their treasury, the balance
to their credit ia said to be very large and
growing larger each day. The great drain
Is on account Of supporting the feeders,
there having been applications for help
from only three nailers in the city.
"All the nailers at work in this district
are also sending in assessments. As an
example, the assessments from Bellaire
lodge in the two weeks alone, just passed,
was something over $500. With such
backing as this the nailers Of this city
stand firm and claim that each day their
chances are growing brighter"

HELP FROM rHE EAST.

Unnamed Source.

support for tho Striking Nailers from an
Unnamed Source.
Several OF the Pittsburgh papers yester-
day published statements to the effect that
the Eastern manufacturers are helping the
Western nailers in the strike, sending
them money literally to enable them to
remain firm in their demand for the 81.
cent scale. 1t was also asserted that the
Eastern mill owners have agreed to con-
tinue the contributions till the strike ends
one way or the other. This action, it is
said, accounts for the promptness with
which the manufacturers OF nails in the
East granted the advance asked by their
nailefs. The Eastern nailers, too, accord
ing To the same authorities, are making
weekly payments, and all the striking nail
ers in the Western districts feel very much
encouraged by the outlook.
The Times quotes u nailer's reply TO
question as to what there was in the ru-
NOR: ~ think it is straight, l know that
delegation was sent from Wheeling to
visit the Eastern manufacturers on some
business, Gen. Beaver, who has an inter
est in the Bellefonte factory, being among
them. He returned to Wheeling towards
the end OF last week, and inst about that
time there was q good deal Of money fly
ing about among the nailers there. Be.
sides that, it is to the interest Of the Eas-
tern manufacturers for US 10 win this
strike, for If We lost 1t they would be en-
tirely driven from the market. On the
other hand, the longer the strike lasts the
better It Is for the Eastern manufacturers,
for they are getting ali the trade and good
prices"
