The United States has already be.
como the largest consumer, and will
undoubtedly become the largest pro.
Queer Of iron 10 the world. Owing to
the increasing depth and consequent
heat Of the mines in Great Britain
and the long haul of ores from Spain
and Africa, the United States, by
reason of the proximity of the ores
and coal in this country, can make
iron sod steel ~ cheapIy Is any other
country notwithstanding the higher
wages We pay for labor.
Tho worlds annual production Of
pig iron amounts to $4,000. 600 tons,
Of which this country nov makes
about 100000. At the present
rate Of increase the product OF this
country will, within tho next ten years,
reach "A, 900. 900 tons annually.
This vast production will tax our
resources to tho utmost, and every
promising mine yielding iron ore will

LONG TOM FLETCHER.

=
How He sIlenced a Hostile Meeting and
rza-.s. Had Things nis Own Way.
k"Long Tom Fletcher is one Of the
conspicuous figures in the streets OF
Washington. "Way down" in Missouri,
and "befo' de wah," the Colonel, who
afterward became the first Republican
Governor OF Missouri, was known
throughout the State as the best shot
within its borders. He thought nothing
of throwing silver half-dollar up in
the air and hitting it with pistol ball,
and he had so frequently competed with
a pistol at forty yards against rifle
at two hundred, that the country yokels
would no longer permit him to enjoy
those trials Of craftsmanship at the
county fairs. In the early days of 1851,
says Washington correspondent OF the
New York Tribune, when politics were
red hot in the State Of Missouri, Long
Tom Fletcher was once billed to ad-
dress meeting in a country town upon
the burning questions of the hour IL
was generally understood before the au-
dience assembled THAI certain rutflans in
the neighborhood had pledged them
selves to break up the meeting and
make things lively for the orator OF the
occasion besides. Evidence of stormy
times ahead was by no means wanting
the moment Fletcher stepped upon the
platform, but coming forward he quietly
placed large Colts army revolver upon
the table and addressed his audience as
follows, with pleasant smile, and in
mild, persuasive tone of voice: >ssAss''Es
IA "GENTL.EMEN: understand that there
are some among you here who differ
slightly from me in politics, and that
you propose to start a riot upon this
occasion. y Now, this is free country,
and speech and opinions are free to all,
SO want it distinctly understood'-and
here he significantly tapped the weapon
beside him-''that If any of you think
you can get away with me you can just
wade right in and help yourselves" .sas
swell, sir" said the Colonel's friend,
who told me the story, FLETCHER just
went right for 'em, from the word go.
And, would you believe 1t? Those same
fellows who were SO sanguinary before,
now in sight of that shooting-iron, lying
there SO peacefully and lamb-lile, began
presently to shout: Right you air
Cunel Yew jest give 'em thunder, an
weuns IL stan right up fer yew every
time, yew kin jest bet' s,asesssss.
A"This Incident" remarked my in
formant, "aptly illustrated the curious
fact that even inanimate objects are
gifted, at times, with remarkably per
suasive eloquence." .stAes= sa
