good committee places and a chance to vote
for the repeal of internal taxes
LIKE HENDERSON OF IOWA.
The fact seems to be that Mr.. Brewer is
like Mr.. Henderson of Iowa or Perkins of
Kansas, a candidate for q good committee
craftsmanship. Like most southern repub-
lican representatives ne thinks that the ad-
ministration has treated him badly, but he
does not propose to leave the Republican
party on that account but only to make
sure that he gets generous treatment from
the republican speaker. Besides the demo-
cratic leaders would not think of contesting
with Mr.. Brewer or buy other republicans
to contest the organization of the House.
They want no such control, preferrng to
oe in opposition until the people give them
a good working majority in the Flfty-second

the fact that the French government

clare war against Italy for his sake, ne

PRODUCTION OF PIG IRON
STATISTICS RECEIVED FROM THE
MANUFACTURERS

The Output During the Past Six
Months Larger Than During Any
Similar Period-The Stocks Of Sold
Pig Also in Excess of All Previous
Records.
PHILADELPHIA, PA, July 23-Tbe
American Iron and Steel Association has
received from the manufacturers complete
statistics of the production Of all kinds Of
pig iron in the United States in the first six
months of the present year, complete sta
tistics of the stocks of unsold pig iron in
the hands Of the manufacturers or their
agents on June so, and the number Of fur
naceS in blast and out at that date The
production of pig iron FOR the first six
months of 1889 was larger than in any pre-
ceding six months in the history of the
American iron trade. The stocks of sold
pig on June 80 last were much larger than
at the close of any preceding half year for
a number Of years.
TOTAL PRoDUCTIoN.s
The total production Of pig in the United
States in the first six months OF 1888
amounted to 4.107, 800 net tons of 1000
pounds. Our production in the last SIX
months of 1888 was 1886, ,004 net tons, or
3. 469, $40 gross tons. The production III the
first half of 1899 was 19S, l2l gross tons
more than in the second half of 1888. The
increased production in the first half of 1889
was wholly in those kinds which
| are used for general foundry and mill pur-
poses There was a decrease in the produc-
| ton Of Bessemer pig iron. Nearly all the
Mi ~ gtofa ad
| their production in the first half of 1889 as
compared with the last half of 1858. The
| following states show an increase: Conuec-
ticut, New York, New Jersey, Peuusyl-
wanna, Virginia, Alabama, West Virginia,
Tennessee, Ohio, Wisconsin. Missouri, Ore
gon and Washington territory. The fol-
| lowing show decrease: Maine, Massachus-
set S, Maryland, North Carolina, Georgia,
| Texas, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Mlchi-
gan aud Colorado.
DIXIB'S OUTPUT.
The production of iron in the southern
states in the first half of 1889 was much
| larger than in the last half of 1883, but for
| this gain Alabama is entitled TO the most
| credit. Among the northern states which
have made progress in the first half of 1889
| New York, New Jersey and Ono are the
| most conspicuous, each making a decided
gain. 1t is also noteworthy that Pennsyl-
vania gained largely upon her large produc-
tion in the second half of 1888. The decreaee
production in Illinois is only nominrl.
UNsoLD STOCKS.
TIE stocks of pig iron which were unsold
| and in the hands of manufacturers or agents
on June 80, last, and which were not in
| tended for the consumption of manufact
urers, amounted to 502,934 gross tons
against 800, ,144 gross tons on Dec. 81, last
an increase of 202, 100 gross in six months.
| The exact number of furnaces which were
IN blast on June 80 last, was 2S8, and the
| number out of blast was 1913. a total of 5S1.
