A REDUCTION IN PRICE.

According to the American Manufac-
turer of yesterday, the Shenango Fur
mace Association has announced the
expected reduction in the price of the
Bessemer product for the remainder of
tn current year, commencing July i.
The Manufacturer says:
The intimation given in the Amer
lean Manufacturer three weeks ago.
and virtually confirmed last week, that
business for the second six months Of
the year would be on a basis of $2J
Bessemer, is officially confirmed by the
announcement. The new rate becomes
operative on July l, and carries with
1t corresponding reduction III the
costs of all. other materials, raw and
semi-fin1shed. Foundry irons began
to slide off last week in anticipation
of the reduction, and will go further
now that the change is a fact The
furnace men and producers of finished
stuffs expect that the business of the
latter half of the year will begin to
move Immediately Billets and other
semi-raw products have been cut to
agree with the $40 rate. Bessemer bill
lets are now quoted at $28, and may
yield little further.
The foundry irons shave off, In
anticipation of the reduced price Of
Bessemer, and since last week No. 2
foundry, Northern, has gone to $3.50
1880, with mill iron at S25@1850.

large lots for late delivery and some

irons will be less than to-day, with
out any further pressure than the
natural course of events. Plates still
stick at $3.50 and show no disposition
to go higher. In a word, there are few
prices that are not purely nominal.
meaning nothing. The buyer who
wants stuff can get it anywhere at
figures less than any of the quota
tons, and in some lines almost at his
own figures, if they are not below ac-
tual cost.
THE general judgment is that, as
prices have been settled on rational
basis with boom features eliminated
entirely, the volume of business will
be fully as heavy as last summer dur
ing the rush.
This information will not come to
the trade Unexpectedly. 1t has been
discounted in advance, and while there
will probably be shortage of new or
ders during the present month, the
new rates, as the Manufacturer OBJ
serves, will result in an increased bus
mess during the last six months of
the year.

THE COST Or CONGRESS.

The session of Congress just ended
was the most costly in the history OF
the republic. The total appropriations
reached the stupendous total of $780,
100000, of which sum $57S 500, 001 may
be classed as regular governmental
appropriations, and the remaining
$132,000,000 the result of Imperialism,
expansion and Hannaism. 1t is an
outrageous exhibition of reckless ex-
travagance, and yet the American peo-
pie are expected to approve it and thus
open the door of the treasury to still
heavier expenditures. They will never
do it.

An Appeal to Hanna's Modesty.

PhiIadeIphia Ledger.
There is a general belief or impression,
which may be quite erroneous, though it
undoubtedly prevails, that Mr. Hanna is
not only the Warwick of the Administra-
ton but that he is also its dominant part
ner, exercising a control over its policy
and acts which tends to lessen his popu
larity and to lead to the conclusion that
1t would be to the advantage of the coun-
try and consequently TO the party, if he
should consent to exhibit a more retiring
disposition and to occupy more modest
position.

England, according to official reports,
has lost something like $4,000 men in the
eight months fighting with the burghers.
These losses are enough to sadden Eng
land, but Americans who remember the
days of the civil war will regard such loss
as hardly worth attention. There were
weeks in Grants campaign when the
union army lost as many men as the
whole British casualty list to date; there
were battles where more men were killed
in a single day than have been slain by
the Boer bullets in the whole South Afri-
can war. The great Africander struggle
has been both brave and bloody, but in
comparison with the civil combat of 1851
1t seems trifling.

THE DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET.


The Democratic nominating conven-
ton at Parkersburg has presented to
the voters of West Virginia State
ticket which will command respect
from every citizen and the support of
a majority, while the platform upon
(which the candidates stand is clear
$cut, incisive, includes every material
ssue, State and national, and appeals
Arcibly to the masses of the people.
should be read carefully and stud
exhaustiyely. 1t contains, in care
p&Illy prepared sentences, a summary
of the whole political situation, and
will be the guide for the voter in cast
ing an intelligent and patriotic ballot.
The arraignment of the present State
administration is particularly vigor-
GUS, while the blunders, crimes and
generally un-republican record of the
national administration are presented
with vividness and emphasis. Theplat-
form is a concise arraignment of the
Republican party, and its statements
true in every paragraph and line
will constitute the basis for an earn
est, aggressive and victorious Demo-
cratic campaign.
OF the State ticket named nothing
can be said but in praise. Out of keen
competition and earnest endeavor in
behalf of each individual candidate
came list of nominees to which no
possible exception can be taken. The
contest for the gubernatiorial nomi-
nation was a phenomenally close one
between men eminently qualified and
equally deserving of the high honor
to which they aspired. Judge Taven-
ner made a magnificent fight, but
Judge Holt was victorious by mar
row margin. Each is deserving of high
commentator and all praise. The
fact that the members of the conven-
ton were so nearly equally divided as
between the two shows the strong
claims each candidate had upon the
delegates, and the high esteem in
which they were both held. Judge
John H. Holt is the nominee, and he
will bear the standard of his party to
victory, aided and cheered and en-
couraged and enthusiastically support
ed by Judge Tavenner and his thous-
ands of personal friends There will
be no antagonism and no hard feeling
as a result of the earnest but entirely
friendly contest before the convention,
and an united Democracy will see to
1t that John H. Holt is the next Cover
nor of West Virginia. Judge Holt is
still young man, but one of the most
gifted of West Virginians. He is a
native of Sutton, Braxton county.
where he was born, a son of the late
Judge Homer A. Holt, in 1861. He
