Written for the LIGHT.
HARBINGERS OF WINTER.

Autumn days are passing and winters
chilling gales
Will soon be fieTcely blowing over hills
and over wales;
Winds of approaching winter have al
ready robbed the trees
OF their once gay apparel, the many
coloTed leaves;
The trees, we'll nigh forsaken, OF foliage
bereft,
Standing bare and undiSturbed, in soli-
tude are left.
The little feathered songSterS, so nimble
and so gay,
A milder climate seeking, have already
flown away:
And pretty, tender flowers of woodland
and of dales,
Have succumbed to the chilling blight Of
coming winter gales.
Foreboding winters coming, the forest
and the field
Well-nigh have been deserted, as they
now seem to yield
To the fore touch of bleak winters so
whitening embrace;
OF winter, drear, with whom they all
shall soon stand face to face;
And he, old hOary winter, in his full uni
form.
Soon busily and gayly his cold duties will
perform. {. y. \.

SOME FIGURES IN IRON.

Bradstreets groups the census sta
tistics of the iron and steel industries in
the fifteen Northwestern states west OF
Ohio for the years 1870, 1880 and 1890.
and it makes showing of development
which some of our contemporaries are
turning to the glorifcation of the policy
of protective tariff, of which it is truly
bright and striking instance. 1t would
be strange indeed if the shrewd, vide
awake American, with his keen scent
for profitable enterprise and invest
ment, had not seen i'll the iron mines
and coal beds and forests of this North
west, with its teeming and swelling pop
ulatlon demanding iron and steel in all
their various forms, an opportunity for
investment and profit, and have gone
into the business with all his energies,
whether he had to depend on his own
resources OF had a government for a
silent partner contributing capital, but
sharing no profits.
1t is not our purpose, however, to dis
cuss the partisan features of these fig
ures, but to make some analyses of them
which show striking results, and from
which our readers may draw such con-
clusions regarding the fostering policy
as they see fit. In 1870 there were 1856
laborers engaged in making steel and
iron in these states, who produced that
year TIC, 4SO tons, receiving wages
amounting to 80, 22O, ,3S1, and turning out
a product valued at $40, 966. .909, in which
capital was employed amounting to $685.
3O6, 44S In 1880 the laborers had in
creased to 1854, producing l.944, ,179
tons, receiving wages amounting to s14,-
S53, ISL, and producing SIS, ,50S,424 worth
of iron and steel. with capital of S52.-
3lS, ,593. In 1890 Al, SIT men were engaged
in producing 5,O73,S39 tons, for which
they were paid S29,O20,02S. Their prod
net was valued at S129, l.521. and the
capital employed was S,070,751.
Taking these figures as correct
basis. and they are the returns of the
iron founders, we find that the men.
averaged an annual wage in 1870 of
$547: i'll 1880. of 1896, and in 1890 of 1866.

of sea animal life which bears valuable
articles of commerce, there will soon be
nothing left in the salt waters, except
fish. which will be of any value to COM
merce.
The United States proposes to close
the Behring sea TO all sealers except the
American, and to limit the catch of our
vessels SO that the animals shall not be
exterminated. The sealers will be pro-
hibited from killing the animals on
their breeding grounds. where they
flock by millions and have been slaugh-
tered by millions.
The counsel for Great Britain before
the Paris tribunal meet the American
plea by the argument chat the seal
could be as well protected by interna-
tional law as by American. Just how
an international law could protect the
seal 1t is difficult to see. Great Britain
would want the lions share of the
product, and America would insist upon
having that share. The law would have
no other effect than to bring on war
between the countries or another arbi-
i"'ioll, uulCoH ~ piofluOu Uilou OiiiJ
certain number of vessels of each nation
could enter the sea, and limited the
number OF pelts the ships of each nation
could take. This would entail the en-
ployment of inspecting ships, and the
outlay of vast amounts of money. The
law would not be practicable. The
American plan is simply to limit the
number of ships and prohibit sealing on
the breeding grounds and on the Priby-
loft and other islands where the seals
gather in great numbers. The ships
would be permitted to catch all the
seals to be found away from the breed
ing grounds and such islands.
St. Paul daily globe., 1893-06-12
PELAGIC SEALING.

One of the great points made by the
American counsel before the Behring
sea aIbitrators is that pelagic sealing is
rapidly anuihilating the seal. Of all
the whalcrS, sealers and vessels search
ing for the sea product, the British
have been by far the most numerous and
persistent. They have completely an
initiated the seal and king penguin OF
the Southern oceans and antarctic re-
gion. The king penguin was killed for
its oil. There were countless millions of
these birds on the islands of the South
ern oceans; but in less than sixty years
the British seamen eXterminated the
species. In following the king penguin
the seamen discovered localities where
there were vast plumbers of seal, and
opened at once ruthless slaughter.
The fur of these animals was so much
finer than that of the seal of the Behring-
sea that the pelts sold for about $40
apiece, while the Northern product
brought only about S12 apiece. The
Southern seal was exterminated in less
than fifty years from the time the an
imal was discovered.
At the rate the British poachers have
been killing the seal Of the Benring sea
during the past twenty years the animal
would no doubt be extinct in less than
thirty years more. The sperm whale
and the one which bears whalebone are
now almost extinct. Unless something
is done 10 materially limit the slaughter
