The Iron and Steel Trade.

A mystery seems to cling around the
methods of the iron and steel produc-
ers of the United States which is i'm
penetra BILE against the intellect of
those who, within trade circles, apply
themselves to the study Of cause and
effect
For many years, and during the
widest periods in which a protective
tariff has been dominant, especially in
connection with this industry, the
claim was advanced that if this and
that concession were made the time
would soon arrive when the United
States would supply these products to
the entire world in the face Of the
brcadest competition. This time was
believed to have been reached during
the past year, when steel plates were
shipped in considerable volume both to
England and Australia.
But the month of February has wit
messed a marked advance in the price
of pig iron, the ratio being from Is to
80 per cent per ton over the prices of
year ago. These figures are reflected
in the prices of the manufactured arti-
Gle, especially in steel rails and steel
ried so far as to attract the attention
of expert reviewers of the condition eX-
isting In its last issue Bradstreet's
says upon this point:
Signs accumulate that American iron and
steel manufacturers may soon be forced to
choose between the home and the foreign de-
mand for some Of their products. The ad-
vance in steel rails of So for the week and
| Of 50 over month ago brings American
| prices to a point where foreigners can profit,
ably compete in the worlds markets. and
some large orders are reported to have been
placed abroad, chiefly because of the indif-
ference of American manufacturers to the
once eagerly sought for export demand.
Large fortunes We're unQuestiona bly,
| made by iron and steel producers in
this country under the higher protec-
tive tariffs. The cost Of production has
steadily declined. If their former
claims were honest, why this indiffer-
ence on their part to the worlds mar
kets, to which Bradstreet's makes ref
erence? The same journal significant
1y concludes it's comments on the stu
alton as follows:
With unprecedented production and con-
sumption at home and abroad, steadily adj
vancing prices and the entry into the situa-
! ton of recent immense combinations in
! various classes of products, it will be seen
! the iron and steel situation can easily lay
| claim to being a most remarkable one, and
one, also, deserving very close watching.

Dor bill by the Nicaragua canal at
tachment in that body for the reason
that the river and harbor measure has
no friend in him. He endeavored to
pass the canal scheme as a rider to
the sundry civil BILL and failed. If the
senate sustains the action of it's COM
mittee on commerce and votes for the
Nicaragua rider on the river and har-
Dor bill, Mr.. Hepburn will find himself
in an awkward position in the con-
ference committee. of which he will
probably be member. The president
is somewhat of an enthusiast in con-
nection with the Nicaragua canal en-
terprise and should the river and har-
Dor bill reach him with this rider he
will be placed in an exceedingly awk-
ward position. inaSmuch as to reject
that bin will mean the destruction of
the other measure.
So far as the army bill is concerned
there is little probability that any
measure acceptable to the majority will
fail of passage in both houses as the
result of the work of a conference COM
mittee into which the bill will likely be
thrown for complete adjustment.
the Coclrell bill of the senate is a sat
isfactory product of committee labor.
Both are makeshifts and are alike glar-
ingly imperfect. But the army must
be maintained. and this will be the ar
gument for securing votes in the ma
ture of compromise.
The legislative tangle is by no means
serious. The last days of congress are
! always productive of an immense vol
ume of work. In their eagernesS to
leave Washington for their homes
members are usually more complacent
and yielding at the closing of the last
session of congress than they are at
that of the first. Many representatives
who are members of important commit
! tees are not reelected, and they are
| quite willing to permit matters to drift
| on their merits. If an army bill of some
sort passes, the possibilities of all eX-
| ira session will entirely disappear.

scme respects it will line up we'll; in

There has been some apprehension
INDUCED in that an extra session must,
III the nature of things, be called An
extra session of any congress is never
desirable, except as the senate may
oEce in every four years be called to-
gether to act upon the appointments
OF an incoming president. There does
not appear at the present writing any
substantial ground for believing that
ar extra session will be called 1t is
true that several of the most impor-
tant appropriation bills have not been
passed by both bodies. Among these
may be cited the army bill and what
is known as the river and harbor bill.
This last named measure involves an
expenditure of almost $31 900, 00O 1t is
one of those Iog-rolling products Of ev-
cry congress in which nearly every rep
resentative has a local interest. This
bin is always one of the most vicious
that members have to deal with. The
present year it is particularly obnox-
icus, because the expenditures for
which it provides are VIGOROUSLY ex-
cessive. Standing alone upon it's mer-
its, d really strong executive, in view
of the enormous war expenses of the
government, would promptly veto it.
just as President Arthur vetoed that of
1SS2-S3, which practically cost him his
nomination for the presidency in 1884

because the information was not to be found

George Gerlich. the big custodian of the
county building, is great man for facts, and
it delights him to wrestle with statistics and
figures. Recently he became the possessor
Of map that had been gotten out on the
scale Of five miles to the inch by a rail-
road company. The map was in the form OF
a folder and intended as a sort of hunter
guide, with the margins embeliished with pic
lures Of deer and other animals Indigenous
to the Minnesota forests. Mr.. Gerlich looked
at the scale and then at the pictures, and
measured few of the deer with two-foot
rule that he always carries.

Mr.. Robert Mcintyre, who lectures at the
Peoples church tonight In the Y. NJ. c. A.
course, is entertainer off we'll as on the
platform. Here is one of the stories he told
yesterday. giving the ministerial gentleman
in question his authority:
One day two ladies called the clergyman
and requested that he preach the sermon at
their sisters funeral They explained that
they were Methodsts, but that their sister
had been a prominent officer in the Spiritual
istic church, and that nearly all attending
the funeral would be Spiritualists. even
though their request to have medium con-
duct the services had been refused. The
young preacher decided that his time had
come to hit spiritualism blow. This he pre-
ceeded to do in his funeral address. laying
special stress on the many mediums who had
been exposed to be fakes.
At the conclusion Of his sermon a motherly
looking woman, seated near the coffin arose
and with splendid gift Of CAB, quietly and
calmly remarked:
Il am Of the detestable mediums
maligned by our good brother While he
has been SO eloquently addressing US l have

sister who wishes me to impart to the friends
