Only eighteen years ago this country was
one of the greatest purchasers of iron and
steel in the markets of the world. Before
that date we had gradually become one of
the great producers of pig iron but so great
was the consumption of the country that we
were still large purchasers. AS the years
passed since 1880 the United States ceased
to purchase so largely abroad, and our sales
increased until now the relative position of
the values of imports and exports has been
changed. In 1880 we purchased abroad five
times as much as we sold in foreign mar
kets; now we sell more than five times as
much as we purchase. On it's face such
change is most remarkable. but when it is
considered that it has taken place in
product Of universal consumption and in an
industry in which the leading nations Of
Europe are competitors. it may be regarded
as a marvel.
And yet those whose memory extends
back to 1866 or 1865 can recall the fact that
men who yet have reputation as economists
assailed the policy of protecting our then
infant iron industry on the ground that the
United States could never supply the home
market and could never compete with Great
Britain in the production of iron That was
when Bessemer rails were selling at $l6s
ton and the howl was over a duty of SIS a
ton. Such a duty was denounced as a tax
upon the industries of the country-an act
of robbery in the interest of a few iron
makers. The duty was retained. as were
the protective duties on iron. Under the
49,
iron industry its growth was phenomenal
In 1880 the output of pig iron in the United
States was 3S35.l9i tons. and that of Great
Britain was 7.74s235 tons; in 1890 the output
of this country was 9.2O27Os tons. and that
of Great Britain was 7.S75,1SO tons. AT the
present time the output Is at the rate of
over 100000 tons a year. In the mean
time, the price of iron has fallen as have
few OF the great staples. Science. skill and
capital. with our superior advantages. have

The Dewey victory at Manila was pub
lcly celebrated in many of the smaller
towns and villages of Indiana and other
States; the destruction of Cervera's fleet
also received similar attention in the same
quarters, and now in every direction peace
celebrat ions are being arranged for. Every
where but Indianapolis Here no public
demonstrations have been made or suggest
ed AS possibilities at any time since the war
began, and yet Indianapolis people are pa
triotic and at times emotional and free to
express their feelings. Plans should at
least be made for an expression of popular
sentiment when the volunteer regiments re-
turn-an event that seems likely not to be
long postponed Emotion may evaporate
through too long delay, and tardy celebra-
ton be forced and perfunctory affair.

CARE OF SICK soLDIERs.

Philadelphia has sent a hospital train
South to bring home sick and wounded
Pennsylvania soldiers and place them in the
local hospitals. all of which have offered all
the beds available. If other cities with
good hospital accommodations would follow
the example il might be the easiest way of
settling the problem of caring for these un-
fortunates, who have received such made
quate attention in camp. If brought to their
own States they will at least receive the
benefit of the clothing and delicacies sent
them by their friends. The experience of
the wife of General Miles shows that this
is not the case now. 1t is said that before
her departure to Porto Rico, which oc-
CURED day or two since. she visited two
or three of the camp hospitals and found
boxes and packages of clothing and food
which would have added to the comfort of
the sick men lying unopened for the insult
ficient reason that it was nobody's business
to open them. A man in an unofficial ca
pacity would not have dared to interfere,
but Mrs. Miles very properly and promptly
took matters into her own hands, cut the
red tape, opened the goods and distributed

not been brought out of the chaos of these
camp hospitals until the arrival of women,
usually the Red Cross nurses So far from
forbidding their presence, as Surgeon Gem
eral Sternberg was disposed to do it would
be we'll if trained women were put in charge
OF such hospitals from the beginning. Male
nurses and attendants are useful, but it re-
mains for women to see what is needed and
to furnish service to the sick that no
amount of training will fit man to supply.
The early return of large body of the
troops in the field wiz simplify the hospital
problem, but will not do away with it, for
as long as our soldiers remain in Cuba
there will be an invalid list. The conduct of
Individual surgeons and physicians has been
heroic, but there has been defect some
where in the general management of the
army medical affairs. Now that the first
furry is over, probably the department will
get itself in hand and there will be no more
cause for complaint. 1t is to be hoped so,
certainly.

Our naval authorities have been quick to
read the lessons of the war; and it looks as
if this government would be the first to
profit by them. The lesson is that high
speed in battle ships is factor scarcely
second in Importance to fighting qualities,
and that few first-rate battle ships are
worth more than much larger number of
inferior ones. Having reached this conclu-
sion, the Navy Department. will, it is said
ask Congress to authorize the construction
of the largest and most formidable battle
ships and cruisers afioat. vessels without
equals in any foreign fleets, and incompara-
bly, superior in offensive power, speed and
endurance to any of the magnificent ships
which few weeks ago destroyed Cervera's
squadron. This decision is based on the
unanimous opinion of the Naval Board of
Construction. Particularizing, a Washing
ton special to the New York Tribune says:
The board practically agreed to begin the
design of three battle ships. of between
1900 and 1900 tons displacement, with at
least nineteen knots maintained speed, a
radical advance from the n,o25-ton sixteen
knot ships of the Alabama and Kearsarge
class, which now represent the maximum
powered units of the American navy. 1t was
also determined to recommend three first
class cruisers, OF about 12,OOO tons and or
not less than twenty-five knots speed, near
ly half again as large as the New York and
the Brooklyn and of from three to four
knots greater speed. In addition to these.
a class of protected and partly armored
cruisers of between 5000 and 5000 TONS sim
liar TO the Olympia, Admiral Dewey's flag
ship, but of much higher speed was favor
ably considered, well a new class of
2,5O0-ton cruisers a little larger than the
Detroit and the Marblehead- and smaller
than the Atlanta and the Boston.
A squadron of such ships would be the
most formidable afioat and would at
once place our navy in the front rank. The
time is propitious for such an increase of
our navy, and we believe public opinion
will heartily approve of the recommends
ton and its adoption by Congress.

Now that we have peace. will the yellow
papers celebrate it by return to headlines
of normal size? The Boston papers have
been the worst offenders against good taste
in this respect, their type being the largest
and blacklist and their front pages having
the appearance. not of an art poster but
of the old-fashioned circus poster. If the
war had continued much longer the effort
of the Boston editors to signify the hap
pening of exciting events by the use of
taller and still taller letters must have
brought them to grief. Pages and presses
would have required enlargement.

A Washington dispatch says that the
metrieal system of weights and measures
in use by the Spanish government will be
continued at Manila. and presumably in
Porto Rico. AT all events it will be diff
cult to substitute the English system. The
metrical system is used by most European
governments and by scientists and technolo-
gists generally throughout the world. Its
use in the United States was made lawful
by an act of Congress passed in 1866. but
ii has never come into popular use. 1t is
preferred by scientists on account of its
simplicity and universal application.
