Prices in 1880 and 1890.


most interesting showing of the tendency
toward constant cheapening OF the supplies
most needed In agricultural regions Is given In a
tract recently issued by the American Iron and
Steel Association. The facts presented therein
are taken mainly from Western paper The
writer begins by admitting that In our present
social system there is much inequality and in
Justice In the distribution OF burdens and
awards, but he asks whether it is true that the
inequalities OF life are growing greater, and
whether the system designed to protect Ameri-
can labor has resulted alone In the building up
of great fortunes without rendering cheaper and
plentier the articles upon which the so called ia
is laid. TO investigate the matter SO far as the
Western farmers are concerned, Fort Dodge
was selected as a point at which to compare
prices. One merchant In each line OF trade there
was asked to give comparative statement OF
his retail prices In 1880 and 1890. Care was taken
to procure a strictly fair statement, and to COM
pare articles OF the same grade and where pos
sible OF the same brAn !, giving the cash price
In each case. II 1870 and 1850 had been chosen
the comparison Oh all manufactured articles
would OF course have shown much greater re-
auctions, but the change In the prices of farm
implements for the period selected isas follows:

The Demand for Iron.

To the doubling Thomases we COM
mend the statement of Hon. A. 3.
Hewitt before the visiting members from
Europe of the Iron and Steel Institute
in New York last week. He presents
some interesting figures as to the growth
of the iron trade and his conclusion was
that this country will be compelled to
increase the present large production of
pig iron at least 33 per cent. in the next
ten years. He expressed the strong be-
lief that the large requirements of the
world would naturally increase the price
of iron and open the markets of all
nations to this country, as the leading
producers of iron.
This announcement from authority SO
high and reliable, will be pleasant to
Virginia and the South We, in this
part of Virginia, know that we have all
the requirements for the cheap manu-
facture of iron and have them in such
abundance as to justify their designa-
ton as inexhaustible. The Rich Patch
range is unequalled on this continent,
the area of ground considered, for high
grade hematites. The land is conven-
lent, the limestone lies side by side, al
most, with the ores, labor is reasonable,
-transportion fair and locality well adap-
ted to speedy and cheap mining. There
is not a district known which can pre-
sent more advantages.
In the South river range, running
through Augusta and into ROckbridge,
along the western base of the Blue Ridge,
is another prolific field for making cheap
pig.
In both of these districts develop
ments are going on, and it will be shown
that the quantity and the quality OF the
ores are such as must command atten-
ton and invite investments.
The improvement enterprises which
have been inaugurated in this part
of the State. where they are based
upon the immediate presence of min
erals, will continue to thrive and grow.
There is nothing in reason to forbid it..
An increased demand for iron, for the
next ten years, as Mr.. Hewitt assumes.
will assure vast wealth and prosperity to
this section and convert into active val
ues hundreds and thousands of acres
which heretofore have been considered
burden to their owners.
The future holds in store for us
rich rewards for energy and CAPT
tai we'll applied, and it will not be long
before the outside world will recognize
the superb advantages Virginia pre-
sents for all industrial enterprises rela-
ted to the iron interests.

The Second District.

The convention in the Second Con-
gressional District met i'm Norfolk on
the 30th of September. After stormy
session. George E. Bowden was re-nomi-
mated for Congress. Before, however,
the convention got down to work, a
number of regular delegates withdrew,
and with a number of contesting dele
gates, who had been refused seats in
what was called the regular convention,
assembled in another hall and nomina-
ted by reclamation Judge w. G. Muir
daugh, of Portsmouth, to oppose Bow
den. The convention had representa-
tives from every county in the district,
and among them some of the best Re-
publicans IN that section. A determined
fight seems to be impending on the
part of some Republicans to defeat
BOwden.
Judge Murdaugh was Corporation
Judge for Portsmouth for a number of
years, and before that had been Com
monwealth's Attorney for the city. He
is said to be man of ability and inf
! ence.
Some of Mahone's henchmen were
prominent in the boilers convention,
and letter was read from him in
sympathy with the opposition TO Bow
den. That is something to Rowden's
credit.
We do not understand the compiled
tiOns in that district. and cannot, there
fore, give an intelligent opinion ~ to
the influence that may be exerted by the
boilers. Among the anti Mnhonites of
the boilers, we notice the name of DIR.
Robert Norton, an intelligent and influ-
entail coiorad man. There were others
OF the best colored speakers in the
district opposed to Bowden and in favor
| of Mnrdaugh. Hon. Harry Libby was
| in neither convention, but it was under
stood that he was opposed to Bowden's
nomination.

Signs.

1t is stated that a number of New
York, Pittsburg, and Baltimore capital
lists have arranged to put up a large tin
works at Baltimore. The Company will
start out with capital of seven mil
lion dollars. and will arrange their plans
to compete in the manufacture of tin
plate with the world. That is one of
the effects of the new tariff bill.
At Roanoke, the Norfolk and Western
Railroad Company announce that there
are to be started at that point a number
of new industries, that will employ from
1890 to 800 skilled workmen. and that
the encouragement of manufactures will
be the policy Of the railroad company.
This is another result of the protective
policy.

J. R. Lggett's Special Sale of Dress Goods

Is first to be mentioned. We propose to
open the season S sale by showing beau

are in all the new colorings, and make
pretty dresses for children, as well as
older persons.

fine assortment of Stripe Cashmere Suit
ings, They come in all the leading col
orings, SO inches wide, and only 80 cents
per yard. They make beautiful combi-
nation dresses, as we'll as trimming for
plain materials. This line of goods is
certainly far under the regular value and
it will do you good to look them through.

This shows that although fortunes have been
made in the manufacture of farm Implements
the talk Of combines and exhorbitant profits ia
not based on facts. II there were any truth In
the free traderst charge that sthe millionaires
have been able to absorb all the dement's of in Z
ventive skill and large production. there would
not have been reduction of from SO to 50 per
cent. In the cost OF farm implements during the
past ten years.
The stock usually carried in a hardware store
may almost be classed as farm Implements. The
following comparison of retail prices in that
line, as shown upon the books Of one Of the best
firms intlie town mentioned, proves that great
reductions have been made in the period stated;

For Enterprise and Investment.
VIRGINIA THE MOST ATTRACTIVE FIELD
-THE DEBT SETTLEMENT-PROGR
Read this-cut it out and paste
it in your hat.

lHambleton & Co.'S Baltimore Circular.]
II we were asked what particular section Of
this country we considered the most attractive
field for enterprise and Investment we should
answer the State of Virginia. As we have not
one dollar invested in any shape in Virginia we
consider this all unbiased opinion. We believe
capitalists will ind 1t to their advantage to1nves
tigate this promising field for the employment OF
capital. We do not say this in disparagement of
the.claims OF other Southern States, for we are
great believers In the prosperity OF the whole
section, but think we recognize In virginia the
beginning of a series of industrial pursuits and
enterprises which will make the old Common
wealth hum with activity, and will produce
most promising opportunities for profitable in
vestment Virginia has Jagged behind her sister
States in Industrial advancement wholly, In our
opinion, because of the unsettled c0nd1t1On OF
her debt and the obstruction which was thus
placed upon the flow of capital. Happily, there
is good reason for believing that this hindrance
is about to be removed and that the people of
Virginia realizing the Importance of unblem-
ished credit, will respond to the movement to
settle the debt and that satisfactory compro-
mise will be effected.
The bondhOlderS are showing every DISPOSE
ton to effect a settlement of the debt, and are
depositing their bonds under the agreement of
the committee. There were outstanding Janu-
airy l. $780, about $14 600 900 consols about ,OU.
600 10 4O's, about s. 100000 old unfunded bonds,
and about 100000 peelers Up to the latest date
there have been deposited under the bondhold-
ers's agreement $40 920 500 consOls, $44G3CO 10
40's and 81 oil ,335 old bonds, peeers and coup
ons also 81, 259 Al, SO OF the taxreceivable cou
Ons.
We understand the committee is formulating
a plan of settlement which Will be submitted to
the Advisory Board and upon their approval to
the bondhOlders. II endorsed by the bOndhOld-
ers, negotiations will be opened with the State
and i'm our mind successful termination is al
most assured. The Advisory Board consists of
Messrs. Grover Cleveland, Thomas F. Bayard,
Edward ]. Phelps, George 8. Cox, and g. G. VIII
liams. These gentlemen will no doubt give the
subject full consideration and will weigh the
claims and rights of the bondholders vers,ts
the ability of the State to pay. So great is our
confidence in the personnel of this committee
that we should, If holders OF virgini bonds, be
content to abide by their arbitration and accept
any compromise which they may declare advi-
sable considering the interests of the bOndhold-
ers and the ability of the State.
With the debt question settled, Virgsnia, we
predict will make extraordinary progress, and
attract capital and enterprise both at home and
unbounded. and they only need development to
make Virginia one of the richest and most pros
porous States in the Union.

To Navigate the Air.

The Chicago Times. of the 4th, says
that project for the establishment of
an air-ship company was completed the
day before. and at Springfield the Mount
Carmel Aeronautic Manufacturing Com
pany will be chartered with q capital of
$a0,000.0O0. Within sixty days the first
air-ship is to arrive in Chicago. The
company is backed by powerful Eng
Iish syndicate and by Eastern cap
italists. The proposed air-ship which
the company is to build, and models of
which have been successfully tested,
will carry cars the size Of the Pullmans
and will seat fifty persons each. Special
cars are being manufactured for quick
mail and passenger service.
