The Oliver failure at Pittsburg VIII send a cold
shiver down the spine OF Pennsylvania iron
workers, and 1t may have a depressing influence
generally The nrrn was the largeSt.n the trade,
and employed four thousand hands They declare
that they are solvent, and the statement is en-
dorSed by outside parties, that their embarrass-
ment may be only temporary.
The cause OF their downfall is ascribed to the bad
state OF the iron trade, which, according TO an
Interview with Andrew Carnegie, s'could not be
worse" This declaration is suggestive OF all the
business interests Of the country the most carefully
protected has been iron Even In the recent tariff
reduction movement the iron men were treated
very gently, Mr. Harry ". oliver, the head OF the
urn now in difficulty, being member Of the tariff
commission, and the legislation shaped TO suit his
viewa II all this care has simply led to bank
ruptey and prOstration, it may De time to try the
other tack.
But the real danger to Pennsylvania iron lies
nearer home probably than across the water The
sQpstitution guarantees free trade among the
states and it Is from the south rather than Europe
that the great menace now comes It Is Claimed
that iron can be mined at the south az cheaply as It
can be gotten OUT Of the ground in England and
Transported TO this country and If this prove to be
true and tee supply be found adequate to the
demands OF the market, all the carefully framed
tariffs fall TO the ground

Mr.. AoOdys VISIT to this city, after an interval of
many years. VIII be an event OF great interest to
large part Of the community There Is a strong
demand for tickets Of admission TO the exercises
and some discomfort Is expressed that tickets are
required ar all With regard TO that matter two
explanations are given; first, the Inadequate hall
accommodations, and second. and chiefly the na-
ture OF the work to be accomplished Mr. Moody's
object In his present visit is TO appeal TO those
outside the churches, but to educate members of
the church and inspire them 10 more earnest and
intelligent work The meetings are called a con-
vention and, being held for the purpose stated IT
Is desirable that the members Of she city churches
Ia sympathy with the movement should be fur
nished accommodations The intent is 10 give all
such persons a chance to attend at least one meet
ing. and the tickets are distributed among the
Churches on that basis Probably during Mr.
Ioodys stay there Will be one or more meetings OF
an e'angensuc character open TO the general public

neglected bis opportunities by putting 1t into the

On the contrary, the sureSt investment especially

ties paying only three per cent, and bonds and
stocks OF all sorts realizing little more return and
subject 10 dangerous fluctuations, 10 is not sur
pr.sing that real estate which pays SIX eight and
should maintain Its rates. This explains why
there lie 80 much inquiry for this class OF invest
ment.
