Tie Manufacturer edtorially ex-
presses great concern over the willing
ness of the wicked Democrats to cut
down the tariff on iron manufactures,
while in its news columns of the same
issue it reports shipments of American
iron and steel to England II reprints
from the Ir0a Age, good protectionist
authority, statement that Pittsburg
manufacturer Of tool steel is and has
been " for number Of years selling
his product regularly in the English
market and in the very heart Of = the
territory of the Sheffield makers at
that" On another page Of The Manu-
.fdcthrcr we find q report of the recent
shipment Of lot Of bar iron from one
OF the new Virginia mills to Leeds,
England, coupled with the statement
that this iron was rolled from all
puddled bar, and we are informed
that the English receivers Of the
iron were surprised at the excellent
quality of the stock, which was better
than they had believed could be manu-
featured in this country, or at least III
the south" Taking these items and the
fact that the Mills bill provided for
tariff Of $l1 per ton on iron together, it
does not appear that the wicked Demo-
Gratis are likely to do much harm in this
quarter. On the contrary, it begins to
look as though Great Britain will stand
most in need Of protection against
American iron, But what becomes Of
the pauper wages bugaboo when we see
American manufacturers shipping iron
and steel to England? We did, how
ever, very much the same thing 200
years ago, or nearly that, without any
protection" and with the conditions
very much against is.
There is considerable reason to trust
that the unjusttiable and indefensihle
Chinese exclusion bill passed by the
House will not, in its present shape, re-
ceive the approval of the Senate There
is reason in all things and the United
states cannot afford to repudiate treaty
obligations and good faith-t Is say moth
ing Of closing their Pacific ports against
