"The most important is MOnrOvia. 1t is the
Capital, and it has "a population of about 1000.
Many OF its houses are of brick, which are
made in Liberia, aud the Executive Mansion is
n big brick building, containing reception rooms
and all the necessary appointments Of au Official
building. It has wide veraudas about it, and is
finished in the native woods OF wismOre and

Eve cents day to live. Wages are low. You
can get hand for 81 a month, and the highest

Some of the houses Of the natives are quite
large. and the people AS a rule are very cleanly

Free Iron Ore and Virginia.

The representatives in Congress from
Virginia who have opposed putting iron
ore on the free list on the suppOsitiOn that
imported ores would take the place Of native
ores have made grand mistake. one OF
the chief future advantages Of Virginia a.
an iron manufacturing state will arise from
its nearness TO the ore beds If Cuba. The
Cuban ores make its own ores and coke
available, and make it possible TO compete
advantageOusly with the makers Of iron
in Ohio and Illinois, who are obliged to
draw their Bessemer ores from the superior
region and their coke from Pennsylvania.
The location of the great steel and ship
building works on Chesapeake bay fur
nishes hint which ought not 10 be lost upon
statesmen or Spectators interested in de-
yeloping Virginia resources. The capital
lists who have put their money into these
great undertakings have staked it upon a
change in the revenue policy, which now
discriminates against them. The indus
trial development of the States on the At
lantic coast is largely dependent upon the
opportunity which they shall have of avail
ing themselves Of their natural advantage ;
in getting raw material OF manufacture
suited to their needs.-Philadelphia Record.
