those cited above, there Is no precedent in
the matter, and unless the rightiul owners
of the money appear the State department
will be at loss to know what to do with
il. II seems that some months ago firm
Of Americans doing business in Guatemala,
under the firm name Of Shea, Cormick 4
Co., failed. The business was settled up
by the proper officials in Guatemala, and
pro rata division of the assets was made
Among the creditors were seven American
firms and individuals, who were awarded
q total Of 81, Az. OF the seven only one,
found and paid. The Others, with the
amounts due, are; Dan Mahoney, $40 IS;
j. f, Coleman, SD 20; A. Bowles, $40 SIS;
John Fenton, 500 II; Chas. Carter - IL;
w. & L. 4. Curley, $500 Al. These sums
are held by the Secretarylof State, and will
be paid over to the rightful parties rs soon
as they can establish their claims.
These are but samples Of the many in
stances in which money owned by Ameri-
cans who die abroad is received by the
Secretary OF State and finally hidden in
the vaults OF the treasury, away from the
hands Of the people who own and really
need IL. lnasmuch as every effort is made
by the treasury department TO prevent the
discovery OF owners of such fund, IL is sug-
gested that Congress should enact q law
to provide for the publication OF iniorma-
ton every year which might lead 20 the
discovery OF such unknown heirs. II, for
instance, the Secretary Of the Treasury
was compelled to publish a statement Of
the sums so acquired at the end Of each
fiscal year, together with such available
data as might lead TO the identification of
the heirs and relatives of the deceased, IL
would prevent what now looks like an ex-
cessiyely mean robbery OF poor people. II
would certainly result in distributing a
great deal OF money among rightful owners

THE IRON TRADE.
Review for the Year Shows Great In

review Tor the Year SHOWS GREAT IN
crease In Prosperity.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. AIN Us re-
view Of the American iron trade for the
year 1887, General Manager James W.
Swank, Of the American Iron and Steel
association, says
"Thc year which has Just closed was one
Of great activity and fair prosperity for the
iron trade Of this conniry. Production ia
all leading branches Of the manufacture OF
iron and steel was the largest in our his
tory larger than Ia The remarkable year
1886, when all ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS were
left far behind We estimate our produc-
ton Of pig iron in 1857 at O, go 900 gross
tons, or about GOO,O tons more than in
1856 Our production OF Bcsscmor
steel rails in 1887 was about $50
900 gross tons, or about 10000
tons more than 1885. In addition Ia our
large production Of pig-iron In 1857, We
also consumed about 100000 tons OF i'm.
ported pigiron aud about 10000 tons Of
imported steel rails our imports ol iron
and steel In other forms in 1887 were also
very large, the total imporations Of iron
and steel in all forms aggrcgating nearly
800, 900 tons. Our production oi iron
ore IN 1887 was about Il 600, 600 gross tons,
and our imports In the same year
amounted Ia about $4,000 tons. In
1885 We produced about 10000 900 gross
tons Of iron ore, and imported LOIS, lSj
tons.
The impetus which had been given Ia
the domestic iron trade In the closing
months OF 1885, and which had been ~
much accelerated In 1885 that the year
closed with excited markets, was still
further emphasized In the iipt six months
Of 1887, during which period the demand
for all forms al iron and steel was active
and constant. Prices Of steel rails ad-
yanccd during these six months, but other
piiccs generally declined. After the mid
die Of the year all prices fell of, In SYM
palhy with the general conviction ihGt the
remarkable activity Of the preceding year
and half could not much longer be
maintained, especially the demand for
steel rails for new railroads.
Notwithstanding the decline In demand
| and prices which has been noted II would
| not be correct Ia assume that the year
| opens with general depression in our iron
aud steel industries. The shrinkagc In de.
mnnd Is most marked In steel rails, and Is
next noticeable in pig iron, bar iron aud
iron pipe. But the consumption Of pig
iron Tor miscellaneous purposes Is still very
large, and the steel rail manufacturers
know that large quantity Of steel rails
will be- needed in 1883 for renewals and
extensions, IN well ~ for large mileage VI
now roads which must DC built. The
bridge works Of the country, the loundres,
the machine shops, the car builders and
carwhccl manufacturers, the locomotive
builders, and many other CONSUMERS oi
iron aud steel, arr very busy.

Fear Not the Bulldozing Racket
Practiced by the Opposition,

The day has -dawned at last, and every
body Is glad Of it. Discussion Of the one
issue involved has monopolized public at
tention for two weeks past. Itbegan when
some fifty opponents OF the Taxing Dis
trict, backed by the street railway compa-
ny, met at the courthouse, resolved them
selves into 1--WE, the people," and fired
ticket into the camp Of the real people.
Naturally, a vigorous objection went up;
the patriotic supporters Of the Taxing Dis
trict could not swallow any such dose.
Facts bearing on these objections to the
courthouse nominees, setting forth in
clear and unmistakable language why the
gentlemen are inimical TO all the best in
terests of the Taxing District, form OF
government dear TO the hearts Of 90 out OF
every 100 citizens. Devised at trying
period, when affairs were in chaos, when
hope for the future was at zero, when debt
hung like black storm cloud over the
city, and when there was no real or pros
pective safeguard against pestilence and
death, il Immediately went into effect.
What the result has been The APPEAL
portrayed 10 the people few days since
by giving comparative figures for the two
forms OF government, Where the old
wrecked the city's fortunes and blighted
hope and ambition, the new counteracted
the evil and gave an impetus checked only
by proceedings in court, the whole ma
cbinery Of which is again set in motion TO
absolutely break down and destroy. Coup
bued with this court machinery in all its
revolution is the street railway company
through It's authorized agents, Col X.
Dudley Frayser, Col. Thomas Barrett and
their stockholder candidate, Capt. George
Arnold. These two, aided in the usual
way by the ward politicians and bummers,
constitute the opposition 10 the Peoples
ticket. In their deep-laid designs they
formed a combination TO catch the votes Of
respectable elements, and until the designs
Of the schemers were fully exposed by
TnE APPEAL the Boosting noise made by
them almost deceived the people into be-
licving that the city was lost. But the
tide il eGectually changed.
The past two DAYS have witnessed
changes which mean everlasting death and
burial 10 the conspimton II was hard
fight against methods nuinous 10 good
government and men whose very touch Is
blighting, but the people have calamity
and unflinchingly stepped into the breech
and battled successfully. Public senti-
mcnt and public endeavor are aroused,
the campaign was wisely conducted until the
close, and now nothing remains but togo 90
the polls, vote the People ticket, persuade
Others TO vote II, and watch the repeaters
and ballot-box suffers. This done, the
contest IL won, well won, and with such
crushing force that the chances are largely
npainst the street car company and pOliti-
clans again endeavoring 10 throttle the
Onward march Of the city.
