Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, an excellent au:
'horitv. says: AS long a. The surplus OF
the foreign manufacture cannot bo thrown
on our markets regardless OF cost. so long
will the iron and steel industry OF America

This is true with limitations until sui'i-
cient new capital Is tempted into bu ldlng
furnaces and mills TO cause productive
caracity 70 outrun the demand.
Thus far we appear to be some distance
from the litter contingency.

which we are paving $50 or 1877 per ton or,
for that containing 80 per cent. OF manga

holders are \ mind to ask This is be-
cause we cannot supply our own demands

On the whole. the outlook is for con-
tinuation OF the large demand fol. iron

Ii is not unlikely, too, that the siatist'eal
noeition of wheat, which is much stronger
than the market price therefore. NAV, yet

farmer. An improved demand for wool
and for wooleus is less certain;
of American pig-iron, of which there has
been considerable of late, is without toun-
dation. No pig-irou has been exported to
Europe from the United States, and none

within the past year pronounced 'ex-
pausion n general trade has set in. but un-
dor much more conservative conditions.
Our previous expansion IN the iron and
steel industries had far outrun the home
demand, but when the gradual and steady
increase in requests for pig-iron became
conspicuous in 1883. for iron pipes, for car

matter are still being constructed.
SO tar a. cereals are concerned the eitua-
ton has changed also. Our average an
nual production of wheat for five years
past has not becn far from 10000, 600
bushels, larger proportion of which has
been required for food at home than was
so required from sn almost equal average
annual production from 1850 10 1884, which
has offset to IA eXtcnt the decreased an
nual expectation Of wheat during tho lat
fer half Of the pact decade. Thus the

ropoan demand. such a. we had ten years
ago. has not been felt to 50 large an extent
OF late years as it otherwise would have

4 COMPARISON.

general trade in the United States in those
periods
To begin, the earlier years named found
Europe in need Of large quantities of wheat
from abroad. India, Australia, and Ar
gentine had not then risen 10 the dignity
az exporters Of wheat which they have
since attained. and for that matter neither
had Russia. And, as fortune would have
1t, the United States succeeded in
raising largo crops OF wheat and in
selling the surplus abroad at good
prices. This stimulated general trade
here and the industrial expansion and
railroad building which followed found
our iron industries utterly. unable to-
supply the home demand. Naturally,
large importations followed, and we being
largely at the mercy Of foreign makers.
prices were prodigiously expanded. Then
came the boom in general trade, which
reacted sharply in 1893. and in 1884 resulted
in severe shrinkage of credits and fnan-

United States since the boom periods Of

marked by species Of paving the way Tor

A LEADER correspondent at Casper,

plcte expose Of the inside workings Of
the NAtronA county elections which has
vet appeared in print. He very effect
lively handles the subject of alleged Demo-
cratic corruption aud shows oonolusively
that the shoe is on the other foot.
Ills explanation Of tho enormous vote
cast in Besscner and its political effect
IN case 1t had been counted will open the
ewes Of everyone to the true state OF
affairs. 1t is quite evident that the Ma
tropa county Democrats were not caught
mapping in the late contest They have
shown themselves to be energetic and
capable, as well as determined to main
tain their rights against all odds.
So far as the county, seat fight is con-
ccrned, it was a sectional and not a polIti.
cal affair. The Bcssemer vote was clearly
and palpably an attempt to steal the
county scat. This, we learn, is the gen
eral opinion throughout central Wyoming,
