TIE IRON MADE AND USED.

For the benefit OF those croalSers who
ing to make the people believe that the
shutting down of certain iron mills por-
tends u season of business disaster, the
New York Commercial BU!ltin, journal
devoted to business, and entirely nom
partisan in character, presents an
array Of facts concern,ng the present
state of tho iron business in this country
that is very interesting.
The test of the state of business in iron
as in everything else lies in u comparl-
son of production with consumption. 1t
has been said that the iron market must
break down because the country was not
consuming enough to warrant the pres
ent rate of production. "The accumu-
lation of pig iron," says the Bulletin,
has not been great enough, nor the ex-
cess of production over consumption
great enough. to warrant any apprehen-
sion. But it has been sufficient to COR
rect the evil by causing some furnaces
to discontinue production, and the subse-
quent great strike of iron workers has
already made an important difference in
the production and the consumption
also for the first month of the new fiscal
year. This is in measure corrective
and remedial force. With the tempo
rary shrinkage in production there
comes already considerable strengthen
ing in prices for the advantage Of those
works that are able to continue their
output; there will probably come for
many of those now engaged in the
struggle considerable decrease in cost
of production after the settlement of the
controversy, and the expanded demand
for iron and steel products which is cer-
tain to follow will in all probability
place that business on a stronger basis
than before. Thus there seems to be
reason to believe that, in spite of all
croakers, the iron industry is gettin G
into a healthier condition than ever be-
fore under the operation of legitimate
and natural influences. At all events,
this industry affords no excuse for unfa.
vorable inferences as to the condition Of
the business of the country"
The production of iron in this country
during the fiscal year just ended was
9,7lO,Sl9 gross tons, against only SOLO,
297 tons during the preceding twelve
months. The increase is largely due to
the stoppage of many furnaces and
works during the first half of 1891, on
account of the great strike of coke
workers, which reduced the output
about 1,274 900 tons for the half year.
The consumption during the year ended
July l, 1892, was 9,3T7, 81 tons, after de-
Quoting the increase of stocks unsold.
This is the greatest actual consumption
ever known in any year and exceeds by
more than 100000 tons the consumption
of both domestic and foreign pig iron in
any previous year.

Help Wanted-Male.

The $4,000 men who are said to be walk-
ing the streets of Chicago in search Of en-
ployment will surely be interested in the re-
ports which come from the wheat fields of
the DaKotas. Four thousand men are wanted
in those states to reap the bountiful harvest
that has been ripening In the hot mn of the
last few weeks. Never did .sucb a crop
stand waiting for the reaper; but there are
as SO day and board-are offered and the
railway companies, whose interests are in
some measure identical with the farmers,
make rates that are next to nothing Still

THE CORN CROP SAFE.

Reports from all parts Of Nebraska
show that the heavy rain which now
seems to have passed over was well
regarded as completely disposing of all
doubt as to the success of the corn crop
this year. The prolonged period of dry,
hot weather had exhausted the moist
ure from the soil and corn was begin
ming to dry up in many localities. The
earth has how received a supply of rain
water that will undoubtedly last through
the remainder of the season, with the
occasional showers which always come,
and the growth of corn from now until
harvest can hardly fail to be prodigious.
The farmers of this state had been
confident of good corn crop this year
until their fields began to show the
which preceded the rain. A few more
days of that parching weather would
have ruined the crop in many sections
OF the corn belt. So greatly were the
farmers disturbed by the prospect Of q
disastrous drouth that in some localities
they subscribed money in liberal sums
to have rain made to order. In Grand
Island they had subscribed So, 500 for
Melbourne's services, and if they had
been just one day earlier in doing SO
they would have had to pay the rain
maker for the splendid rain which they
received at the hands of nature.
And this suggests an interesting ques-
| tion. Can rainmaker legally collect
pay for rain with which his operations
clearly have nothing whatever to do?
| If Melbourne had commenced operations
at Grand Island in the nick OF time,
| would the subscribers to that fund OF
$500 have been compelled to pay for
their share of a downpour that was gen.
eral, and from which they could not
have escapedp No doubt this question
will be brought up sometime under just
| such circumstances.
it was worth millions of dollars to the
corn growers OF the west Fortunately y
it will not damage small grain to any
considerable degree. A great deal OF
tho latter had already been housed OF
stacked and the low temperature and
brisk breezes following the rain will
save that which is still exposed. The
rain could not have been more timely
and it is no wonder that the farmers
| are happy.

THE interesting statement comes from
England that "tbe United States does
not really enjoy as much liberty as Eng
land, owing to the position occupied by
capital and the comparative disadvan-
tage at which lator is placed in the
United States" Commenting upon the
absurdity of this, a contemporary hits
the mark pretty fairly when it says:
Working people of the United States
would not bear for week the oppression
OF labor that exists in the United King
dom, and for comparison of actual con-
ditions it is not eXtravagant to say that
working people in the United States
have about as much to spend for luxuries
and diversions as the working people of
the United Kingdom have for the neces-
saries of life" The latter statement is
at least nearer the truth than the
former

THE system OF meat inspection, in.
augurated by Secretary Rusk and now
in force in all of the great packing cen
ters of this country. is producing decid-
edly beneficial results not only for con-
sumers, but for producers and packers.
In South Omaha tho system Of micro.
scopical inspection has been extended
rapidly, and yet the demand for in
spected meat has more than kept pace
with 1t. During the past year the mar
kets OF Denmark, Germany, Austria,
France, Spain and Italy have been
opened TO inspected American pork. AS
may be imagined, this has resulted in q
great increase in the exports OF this inn
portant American product, but the pres
ent volume of our foreign trade in this
line is small in comparison with what it
will be when the European consumers
have become more familiar with the
methods by which American meats are
prepared for market. Since the inspec-
ton begin The price of hogs has been
gradually increasing, anu it is estimated
hat the farmers of the country will re-
cleve about cent pound more for
hogs marketed this year than they
would If inspection had not been intro
duced.

TIE NAN IYHn CAN IVY.

The republicans OF Nebraska are now
auxiously looking to Douglas county.
The man whom tho republicans Of
Douglas county back with n solid dele
CATION will be nominated governor pro-
viding he has n record that needs no de-
fense and cannot only command the uu-
divided support OF the party, but will
draw largely from the opposition. In
other words candidate who can enter
the raco assured OF carrying Douglas
county by not less than 5000 majority
can have the nomination.
THE BEE has reached tho conclusion
that among the candidates now in the
field, the man who of all others would
poll the largest vote in Douglas county
is Lorenzo Crounse. He il a man whom
the people have tried many times and
have never found wanting. He is in
touch with the masses on all the vital
issues of the day. He commands the
confidence of the farmers, artisans and
business men, and would bring to the
executive chair an invaluable expert
ence gotten in public life. He is broad
minded and liberal in his views and has
not been entangled in any OF the fac
tional contests by which our party has
been torn up. He is an able debater,
thoroughly informed upon the pending
issues and could meet any antagonist on
the stump. He is thoroughly Ameri-
can, and his loyalty to his country and
flag was tried through the ordeal of fire
in the war for tho preservation of the
union.
Judge Crounse is not seeking the Of
flee and IL will be sacrifice for him to
accept the nomination. But the party
in this crisis must have for its standard
bearer man who can win. This is what
the republicans did in South Da-
kota last week and what the republicans
of Minnesota did Thursday when they
nominated Knute Nelson for governor
by acclamation. Nelson is the most pro-
nounced republican anti-monopolist in
Minnesota, but the salvation of the
party depended upon the nomination of
just suchn man.
1t now remains for the republicans OF
this county to say whether they want to
invite disaster by centering upon a can
didete who has no clements of strength
or save the party by uniting upon man
who combines within himself the essen
tial qualifications for an aggressive and
victorious campaign.

M,kINLEY AT LINCOLN

Governor Mckinley of Ohio will de-
liver an address at Lincoln next
Wednesday, under the auspices of the
Young Mems Republican club of that
city. The club has extended an invita-
tion to all similar republican organiza-
tions to be present and participate in
the reception to the distinguished
Ohioan, and it is to bo hoped the re-
sponse will be general The occasion
should be improved by all republicans
who can avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity to hear this able and eloquent OK
ponent of republican principles, who has
attained international fame as state s.
man.
Governor Mckinley represents, more
fully perhaps than any other man in the
country, the protectionist side Of the
leading issue in the pending campaign,
and his ability to discuss it is not sur
passed by that of any other man
in the country. He has few
equals as speaker, and any

The Roman Catholic bishops of Prussia
will meet in conference at Fulda on August
Is, and the question OF the attitude OF the
ultramontane party toward the government
Will be considered. 'Tho friendly and al
most obsequious demeauor of the vatican
toward France and Russia, and the vigorous
campaign OF the vatican organs against the
triple alliance have already caused many
heart-searchings among the Catholic laymen
Of Germany" according TO the Berlin cor
respondent OF the London Times. "Herr
Won Schorlemer Alst one OF the leaders OF
the center. has not hesitated to protest
against any attempt on the part OF the holy
see to dictate to German Catholics their po-
litioal duties, ana DR., Lieber, who only six
weeks ago was threatening the government
with all manner OF penalties for the with
drawal of the educational BILL has recently
stated In connection with the Bismarck cam
paign that 1t Is the duty OF the center party
to stand by the emperor and his present
chancellor The bitter recollections OF the
kulturKampf, which Prince Bisinarck's sub
sequent pilgrimage to Canossa never entirely
wiped out, may have contributed TO bring
the ultramontane party into line with the
government: but this result is also due IN
part at least to the marked cordialitv of the
vatican toward Germany's eastern and west
ern foes, for 1t has created among the Cath
olic population a patriotic reaction, which
makes them less disposed to view questions
of national policy exclusively from the cler-
ical standpoint. AS the ultramontane party
practically holds the balance both in the
Prussian and the imperial Diets, any indi-
cation of the attitude it will ADOPT during the
next parliamentary session deserves to be
carefully noted.

squarely in opposition TO Waite, declar-
lug that he should not be elected. The
