IRON TRADE REVIEW.
Quletness Of the Closing of the Year Il
Intensified by Tariff Talk,

Quietness Of the Closing of the Year Il
Intensified by Tariff Talk.
CLEVELAND, o., Dec. 23.-The Iron
Trade Review this week says: The quiet
ness that usually settles upon the iron
trade i'll the closing weeks of a year is
upon us now, intensified by the tariff
incubus. Yet in mill products it is evil
dent that the volume of business is
greater than it was two months ago.
There has been here and there a resump-
ton by a belated agricultural concern.
a few Eastern car shops have taken
orders that will keep them running
most OF the winter, and what is
perhaps best proof of all that
the call for finished material
has been growing-blast furnaces are
making over %, 900 tons more per week
of pig iron than at the same time in Oc-
tober, and the demands of the mills and
foundries are not only equal to it, but
are making a slight inroad upon accum
ulated stocks. This condition indicates
that although no new undertakings of
any magnitude are on hand and none
need be looked for, the country's re-
newal demands are constant, and the
staving off process cannot be persisted
in forever.

The sympathies of the western WORLD

fight with the pestiferous and cantank
erous Riffs on the Morocco coast south.
east of Gibraltar. Spain has a puny
little fort. Melilla, on a peninsula jut.
ting out into the sea at this point. The
Atlas mountains come near the coast,
and the coast itself is called the Riff
which means seashore, just as across the
Mediterranean, on the north shore, m.
other strip of coast in France and Italy,
well known to tourists, is called the
Riviera.
The Riffs are descendants from the alb.
original inhabitants of the country, the
people who dwelt there before the Moors
invaded north Africa. They are one OF
the wild, fierce Berber tribes, and are
therefore neither Moorish, negro nor
Arab. They are, however, Mohammedan
in religion and are as devout as they are
fierce and treacherous. These tall,
hardy, fine looking Riffs have an amuse-
ment which is as popular with them as
football and baseball are in America. 1t
is shooting Spaniards. They hide in the
mountain Businesses behind the Spanish
forts at Melilla, and whenever a white
soldiers head pops for a moment above
the parapets, bang! goes the long Riff
gun, and the soldier opens his eyes on
this life no more.
The Riffs have annoyed the Spaniards
SO much that it was determined t. build
the Spanish Notifications farther inland
from Melilla. In digging the founda-
ton for a fort the Spanish soldiers dis
turbed the tomb of a Riff saint. The
Riffs like nothing better than something
to fight about, and thereupon they at
tackled the Spaniarts with impetuosity.
Now the war is said to he ended; now
report nj that it has broken out
again. The truth is that it will stop
the Riffs cannot fight any longer.
As soon, however, as they can pull them
together again they break out
anew. 1t is true the Riff region is in
and these fellows are ostensibly
subjects of Muley Hassan, but Sultan
Muley has no real authority over them.
Their word and their treaty obligations
bind them not the least.
What the Riffs evidently want is a
good licking. Spain could give it to
hem and would be glad to do so, only
hat the rest of the governments of
would not let her for fear she
thereby acquire more territory
n Africa. A disinterested spectator
nay be permitted to observe that is a
'ery piggish policy indeed on the part of
he other European nations, seeing how
hey themselves are gobbling up Africa.

MINNEAPoLIs, Dec. 23.-The North
western Miller says: The mills in op-
GRAFTON last week did not average quite
as well as the week before, and the Hour
output showed a decrease Of 10, 900 bar
rels. The quantity ground was 1871, 900
barrels-averaging 25,017 barrels daily
against lac, 1856 barrels the preceding
week, 188, $50 barrels barrels for the cor
responding time in 1892, and POI, 200
barrels in 1891. The direct export ship
ments by the mills last week were 27,-
700 barrels, against 1880 barrels the
preceding week. The mills at Superior
and Duluth made the lightest u last
week since the first week in July, pro-
ducing 30,s23 barrels, against 44,57S
barrels in the preceding week, and 1898
barrels in the corresponding week of

and unsatisfactory. Exports for the

one mill, against 1885 barrels in the

1t now looks as il Great Britain, VIII

1t now looks as il Great Britain, which
but recently repealed a proposition of
the United States for another monetary
conference, would be compelled to swal-
low her arrogance and pride and make
the same proposition to this country.
The experiment of closing the minis of
India to the free coinage of silver has
proved a complete failure and ruin stares
that county in the face unless ONE
thing is at once done for her relief.
Many millions of dollars, payable in gold
values, are now due the mother country
from India, and silver is so deprecated
that to exact the gold standard is to
precipitate an awful financial crash. 1t
is suggested that Great Britain advance
a loan of S5O,OOO,0OO to tide over the
emergency in the hope that something
will be done for silver before the loan
falls due. The present crisis is just
what Sir Moreton Frewen, some months
ago, predicted would come to pass. The
Guardian bluntly says that
If President Cleveland should resum-
mon the international monetary con-
ference England would be obliged to
look on the proposition with more favor
than she has heretofore shown. II
really looks as if tine day Of gold-bug re-
pentence was at hand.

Keep it out of the paper" is the cry
which the newspaper publisher daily
hears. To oblige often costs consider

request does not realize it. A newspaper

young women, q we'll as older people,
perform acts which become legitimate

the Newspaper Office to beg the editor
not to notice their escspsdes. The next
day they condemn the same paper for

Some curious facts have been brought
to light in connection with vital and So
cial statistics. One is that the poorer
people are the earlier they marry. In
the lowest classes, if by lowest we mean
poorest, marriages are contracted at a
very early age. The contracting parties
perhaps reason, if they reason at all, that
they cannot be any worse off than they
already are, and that marriage will at
least be q change. 1t is another curious
fact that in the poorest classes, where
marriages occur at the earliest age, there
are the most unmarried men. Perhaps
the hardship Of life in the slums is SO
great that the women and girls die in
greater proportion han the men. One
a for the early marriages is the
crowding together of the sexes in the
swarming quarters of the poor. The
most children are also born among the
slum population. They die, however,
almost as fast as they are born, so that
fortunately this class of the population
does not increase so rapidly as the well
to do class.
Higher in the social scale men and
IN reason more ON the subject of
marriages. They know that unless they
are in possession of a certain income
they cannot live in the class in which
they have been brought up. They are
ambitious to do this, or even to climb
higher; therefore marriage is delayed till
they have such income. In the case of
women, who have not opportunity to earn
money as men have, this income may
never come at all; therefore in the COM
paratively well to do classes unmarried
women are largely in excess. In the
upper ranks, too, the birth rate is much
lower than among the slum people. but
the children that are born do not die at
anywhere near S % rapid a rate, so that
the population of the better classes in
