The conditions which go 70 maintain
the supremacy Of the United States In
the iron markets Of the world are still
better marked than they were In 1855.
The use Of coke, made from bitumInous
coal, has almost entirely superseded The
use Of anthracite coal, with an 0bvi-
ously double economy both in price and
efficiency. The capacity Of our fur

the largest In the world.
In one other important respect the
Iron and steel Industry Of the United
States occupies to-day a much stronger
position than 1t has ever done. Writ
ing Of the infancy Of the industry, Mr..
Hewitt said that an examination OF a
price diagram covering thirty years
would show that the extreme points Of

continue more than a year or two years.
At such times the selling price went be-

the English ironmaster was either rich

prices or could borrow money on It at

works, either OF which meant ruin. II
the American maker could hold his pro-

than anything else feeling Of surprise.
While deposits increased S75o,OOo from

Congressman Noonan Is getting some
what ahead Of the game. He has con-
verted himself Into caucus of one and
caused to be framed a set Of ornate
resolutions that he will present to the
house Of representatives as the sense Of
that caucus. These resolutions call for
the investigation OF Secretary Cages
action In deposlting the revenue re-
ceipts Of the government in one Of the
New York banks for the easement Of
the money market.
A formidable provision in the resolu-
lions demands the appointment Of a
special committee which is to be given
plenary powers in regard to witnesses.
books and papers. There is no doubt
that Secretary Gage will be able to an
swer fully and satisfactorily all ques-
tions propounded him. In fact, he has
already cleared himself Of unjust re-
aeetlons. It would have been well for
Mr.. Noonan to have waited until the
house passed on the merits of his bum
combe resolutions before giving them

attacks made on the administration for

says: Think of the desolatIon wrought

been established in the Philippines
there were between the years 1903 and
1860 four terrible massacreS, in each Of
which nearly 10000 people were killed.
The streets OF Manila literally ran
blood. In 1853 there was q massacre Of
1000 Chinese and other foreigners, and,
ns late as 1920, the natives and Span
iards turned on the Chinese. Japanese.
Dutch and English, and slew other
thousands. In those bygone days OF
Spanish misrule there was slaughter
by pirates, slaughter by soldiers. and
slaughter by natives.

900 natives were killed in the first year
Of tho war. Many Of them were shot

On a Solid Foundation.

The industrial prosperity Of this eoun-
try rests almost entirely on the solldlty
Of the iron and steel business, and the
supremacy of the United States in the
markets Of the world In this respect be-
ing assured the outlook for the future
10 Of the most satisfactory character in
the history of the country. According
to figures given by Pittsburgh au-
thority the other day the output Of pig
iron in this country. which was 1900
900 tons in 1888, viii be close on 13,5Oo.oOo
this year. This is very much ahead Of
the German or English product, and
whether the capacity OF our furnaces
or the extent and quality of our ore
supplies DO considered. there Is every
reason to assume the certainty Of It's
continuous increase. The export OF pig
iron for the calendar year will be prob
ably 100000 tons. or some $4,000 less
than II was two years ago, The de-
crease is due primarily to the enormous
dimensions Of the home demand, but
also in part to the contraction Of the
foreign market following an advance
OF price. The domestic consumption Of
l5,25O.OOO tons Of pig Iron represents a
most impressive total, when 1t is con-
sldered that in 1889 that consumption
was but 100000 tons. and that as lately
as ten years ago. while the data were
being collected for the last census, It
was set down at only 100000 tons.
The worlds production OF iron last year
was s5.OOV.OOO tons. Assuming that the
lgures for 1899 Will show a total Of
SS,OVO, 900 tons. the United States viii be
found to have contributed 35h per cent
Of It.
Commenting on these facts the Jour-
nal Of Commerce makes these Interest,"
ing observations: 1.-THE relatively rapid
advance of production here may be
measured By the fact that in 1850 our
proportion Of the worlds product was
only little over 70 per cent. Writing
In 1856. when this country frat touched
the 100000 ton mark, Mr.. Abram $.
Hewitt said that the United States
could produce 100000 tons per nnnum
with as little drain on It's natural re-
sources as Great Britain required to
produce 100000 tons. He added that
70 produce this latter quantity Great
Britain required the consumption Of 49,
$4,000 tons OF raw materials, or about IL
tons to each ton Of Iron. In the United
States, from the greater richness Of the
ores and the more general use Of an
thracits coal, the same result could
have been achieved with the uss Of less
