The Intended Blow.

Iron ore heads the list Of the great indus
tries which the tariff reformers In Congress
propose to destroy. Under the,Democratlc
revenue tariff which preceded the "cruelly
oppressive war tariff the annual product
of iron ore had reached 900 tons IN 1860.
Under the ''war tariff 1t has come up to an
annual output of about 100000 tons
The Philadelphia Press says of the iron ore
business;
In the northwest this industry represents
S00,OC0,000 OF capital From the tap of the
dril to the filling of the blast furnace II repre-.
sents labor. 1t represents millions OF tons of
freight to our railroads. The destruction of the
industry would bring ruin, desolatlon, and
starvation to prosperous villages and towns in
all sections Of the country. To help a few
foreign importers and few iron manufacturers
along the ocast the Democratic party, IT II
dared, would, by putting iron ore on the free
list, destroyth industry. Let US see II samuel
j. Randall is prepared to enter into n comblna-
tiOn the Nvowed purpose of which Is to do this
very thing
The pig iron business is the next OBJ
iect of assault by the revenue reformers.
The BuHCtiR Of the iron and steel trade for
last week has valuable article show
ing the truly national character of this
industry. Twenty-siX states and two terri
tories make pig iron, each of the geographi-
cal sections Of the Union being represented.
The Bmlctia, IN commenting on the sta
tistlcs 1t presents, say;
The quantity OF iron ore, fuel. and limestone
required to produce our annual product of pig
iron win be seen at glance to be enormous
while the transportation Of these raw materials
and OF the pig IRON itself will be seen to give to
the railroads ofthe country large part ofthelr
business. The workmcn employed in the min
ing Of this iron ore, in the mining of coal in
the manufacture Of coke, IN cutting wood and
| making charcoal in quarrylng limestone, In
| labor nt and about the furnaces, aud In the
| transportation Of the raw materials and I'm.

UoratiO Seymour.

Mcclellan, Seymour, Greeley, Tlden,
Hancock, and Cleveland, Democratic presi-
dental candidates in 'G4, 'Gs, ~, 'TG, 80,
and 's4, respectively, were all living a few
weeks ago save that great Republican
leader who led the Democratic hosts TO de-
feat in 1872. Now only two remain. Samuel
j. Tilden and Grover Cleveland are the only
men living on whom the Democratic party
has conferred the honor of its presidential
nominations.
1t seemed as If the echo OF the funeral
bells of Mcclellan had scarcely died out
when the heart Of the nation felt the shock
Of Ilancock's sudden death. Aud while the
colined corpse of that great soldier, true
patriot, and good man awaited the last sad
rites word came that Iloratio Seymour had
been called away.
A great mind, kindly heart, industrious
habits, and rigid integrity were among the
qualities possessed by Horatio Seymour.
Respect for his character was not limited
by party lines, for many of his warm ad-
mirers and true friends were his opponents
in politics: lie was beloved by all who had
the privilege Of close acquaintance, and he
goes to his grave universally lamented.

The leading grocery houses in this city
have organized Grocers' Union-a worthy
example to the business men OF Washing
ton generally. The representatives Of every
business interest should do likewise, and
then all should unite in commercial Or
ganization TO aid in promoting the material
interests Of Washington.
We have no legislative power, but such
an organization would create and concen-
trate sound public opinion that would in
form Congress and influence its action in
legislating on the affairs Of the District Of
Columbia.
The action Of the grocers will prove a
public benefaction If these objects are
realized. The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,

The Arrears of the Direct Tax of 1861

The Arrears OF the Direct Tax of 1861.
The proposition in Congress to relieve
the southern states which have not paid
their proportion of the direct tax of S2l,-
100000 levied as a war tax in 1861 upon the
people Of ali the states will have some
merit II there shall accompany it propo.
s!tion to return to the northern states the
amounts which they severally paid with in
terest. Without this refund any bill to re-
lieve the southern states directly or in,
directly will be simply robbery of the
treasury for the benefit of the south. The
northern states generally paid in full ex-
cept Colorado. The southern states, rs
states, paid substantially nothing, but fed
eral tax gatherers collected Of private prop
erty owners in South Carolina and in two
or three other states few hundred thou
sand dollars.
Justice now requires either that the de-
linquent southern states and Colorado shall
be required to pay with interest, or that the
amounts paid by the northern states should
be refunded with interest. We wait with
considerable curiosity as well as anxiety to
see whether the southern leaders who now
control the House Of Representatives will
have the audacity to put through the House
bill to release their states which went into
rebellion from paying their share Of this
tax, now quarter of century delinquent,
and yet fail to enact that the national gov
ernment shall repay the amounts poured
into the federal treasury by the loyal north
ern states. If the Democratic leaders are
capable Of such grossly sectional and UNI
just bill, we trust no Republican will be
| found to cast his vote IN its favor.
