The Iron Trade.

The Engineering and Mining Journal
records distinct improvement in the
iron market. Reports from the large
iron centers show strong tone, with
slightly higher prices. Part Of this The
Journal thinks is due to the increasing
volume Of the usual fall trade.
tits partly owing, too, to a general i'm
preston that, now the tariff is disposed
of, there will be general waking up in
all lines of manufacturing business.
The Journal doubts if this expectation
will be realized. The slight looking up
of the trade after the long depression
has led iron men to grasp at it as an in
dication of general returning prosperity.
Iron furnaces are starting up in large
numbers. Many more are being over
hauled and put into shape ready to go
into blast so soon as prices justify it.
This, in The Journals judgment, is the
worst menace to the market. At present
the production of iron articles is about
equal to the demand. If production
should largely increase, out would fall
the bottom from prices again, and the
former bad conditions would shortly
prevail.
The editor sees, however, one redeem
ing feature in the present dullness. 1t
is that the hard times have forced upon
all iron, coal and coke men economies
which they did not dream Of practicing
before. The result has been the produc-
ton Of coal, coke, pig iron and manu-
factured iron at less cost than was ever
known previously in, the history of iron
making.

Men and women who have to work
hard are seldom involved in social scan
dals. The best guarantee for morality is
useful occupation. Wherever there are
rich people who have nothing to do but
spend money for their own physical
pleasures and amusements, there social
corruption and decay are the inevitable
result. So far as the scandals in the AS
tor and Vanderbilt families are concern
ed, the only wonder is they did not
break out sooner. Libertines and deb
auchees and social sinners come from
the idle, empty hearted and empty head
ed children Of millionaires.

The New Tariff Increased the Rates.

The free list under the law Of 1890
took from the duAable list noncompet-
ing goods of the value Of $109, 232, 900.
The new law now takes from the du-
table list goods amounting in value to
$41, 1893, 900. It also takes from the free
list articles which are prime necessities
of life, amounting to $113, 215, 600, upon
which they propose to collect duty OF
$44. 900. They have increased the
rates over the law Of 1890 on various
articles to the value Of SIS, ,074, 900.

There is no foolishness about the
legacy tax in England. Every estate
worth $5, 900, 900 is taxed 8 per cent
when its owner dies. Personal property
of all kinds as we'll as real estate is in
cluded in the valuation. The most CON-
Portable time to pay taxes is after one is
dead. It is probably only matter OF
time when the legacy tax will be ex-
tended to all heavy estates in this coun'
try. It will be a question which shall
9et ahead in this matter-the national
or the state government.

Do People Make Fun of Boston?

OO 1eOplO NAAc CuA u AOSOons
The Boston Globe issued circular to
a number of humorists wanting to know
why they made that famous city the
target Of SO many of their bad jokes. 1t
publishes in late issue their replies,
various and several.
Mr.. Philander G. johnson, the
"Shooting Stars of the Washington
Star, said mildly, "A city that runs the
artistic gamut from Ralph Waldo Emer :
son to John L. Sullivan, and with whose
inhabitants the proper pronunciation OF
the letter "a is a matter Of intuition,
could not be otherwise than an object OF
universal attention if it wished" He
also explains that the element Of sur
prise is an important factor in humor.
Because Boston furnishes SO many ele-
ments of surprise she attracts the notice
of even the newspaper joker:
Percival E. Benson, "Dexter and Sin
ister'' of the Detroit Tribune, says that
"a certain tinge of pedantry in the Bos-
tonese character started the thing, and
that the Boston jest has since become
ono of the staple commodities Of the joke
market, like the mother-in-law and the
stovepipe. The genial E. w. Howe OF
the Atchison Globe is rather noncom-
initial, but he expresses himself thus:
"When woman who has stopped over
night in Boston comes west, she is deter
mined to teach us everything we have
neglected to learn"
"Our Own Funny Man" Harold Nc
Grath Of the Syracuse Star, writes, "Bos-
ton is too all fired classic, for one thing"
"Our Old Corner" Thomas Bernard
Chrystal of the New York Morning
journal, says that the funny man Of the
newspapers jibes Boston because tho
humorist, like death, loves shining
mark. Charles w. Taylor, the lin
Minor Key" of the Chicago Tribune,
declares that Boston is made fun OF be-
cause jealousy, like death, loves shin
ing mark. The remarkable similarity
between the forms Of expression of the
two humorists is noticeable in all funny
mems jokes, but we never knew it to
come out plain over their signatures be-
fore. hampton Of the Detroit Free Press
says ho never makes fun of Boston. She
does the thing herself, and he merely
makes a note of it. G. w. Foster Of the
New York Weekly says it is because
Boston is so old fashioned, and he
wants to know where in Boston po-
liceman can be found with ability to
rise from tenement house to brown
stone front in six months.
