1t is right to learn from the enemy. We
have learned so much from the advocates
of free trade that was not true about the
injurious results of protection that it may
be well to draw little instruction from our
friends the enemey on the other side of the
water. The last issue of Ryland's Iron
Trade Circular the organ of the British
iron trade, contains the following:
According to the latest advices from
America the Yankees are determined to
secure their share of the worlds trade in
iron and steel. and for this purpose six
manufacturers in Pittsburg and the vicinity
Iron and Steel Company, the objects of
which are TO enter and seek trade in the
British markets. The offices of the COM
pany have been opened at PittSburg. The
capital is only $4,000, but suthcient backing
has been obtained to guarantee any amount
as soon as the increase of the business de-
mands it. London agent has been appoint

like a strong position on the board. We
know well what they can do; If not we
have only to look at the tin-plate trade.
In this branch they, in very short time,
built up a huge industry, driving our Welsh
friends practically out of their market, and
establishing an export trade in tin plates.

A dispatch in the Sunday Journal stated
that the capitalists and farmers of Henry
county, this State. are united in trying to
secure the establishment of beet sugar
factory in New Castle or it's vicinity The
effort deserves encourag cement. Henry coun-
ty comes within the sugar-beet producing
section of Indiana, and if the money and the
beets can be brought together the sugar will
be forthcoming A few beet-sugar factories
in Indiana would contribute materially to

The Marion Chronicle says that thirty
six new divorce suits have been filed in
Grant county since the last term of the
Superior Court. AS the conditions in Grant
county cannot be materially different from
those in other counties, we are forced to
believe that the worst social evils in Indiana
are rash marriages and hasty divorces. And
Indiana is no worse than many other
States. The evil is general.

all things else must be valued on

basis and our taxes will decrease
because OF the high value OF the

a staple single basis that produces
different effects from the same
cause for different purposes, and

it is certain that such policy can
not be just. The public institutions
and Ulcers paid by salaries keep
pace with the apprecia ion of Il con-
iructed single standard, while the
producing and labor classes suffer
from the contrac ion that becomes
more hurJensome each year. If
we should regulate strictly coin
basis of gold and silver for overy
purpose, then there could be no
preference to classes, and then all
classes, by frugality and economy,

posits and all the people would be
