| TRADE IN IRON ORE. REDUCTION OF DUTIES A DECIDED ADVANTAGE. Its Effect Only Felt on the gesbonrri—Domestic Minins Interests Not Injured. Coni Tmde Benefited by Imports of Iron. Increased Activity General. One feature of the revival in the iron trade which is of particular local interest is the marked increase in the imparts of iron ere at this port, says the Philadelphia Record. In the six months ended June 30 the arrivals of foreign iron ore at Philadelphia amounted to 104,166 * tons, which is 6,111 tons more than the imports during the entire year 1894. The rate at which the imports have been increasing daring the past few weeks promises that the foreign iron ore trade of Philadelphia will regain before long the importance by which it was marked five years ago, when it was at its maximum point The figures of importations of iron ore at the two principal ports and for the entire country during the past ten years show plainly the rise and fall of this important branch of our foreign trade i Philadelphia.

During last year also the prices of Lake Superior iron ores were depressed to the lowest point ever reached, on account of competition for the limited market and because of the development of the remarkable deposits of cheaply mined ore on the Mesabi range in Minnesota. Present conditions, however, point to a large increase in the use of foreign ores by iron manufacturers along the Atlantic seaboard.

While the cost of Lake Superior iron ores is not much above last year’s figures, eastern iron manufacturers are still at a great disadvantage as compared with western competitors using these ores. The reduction of the duty on imported iron ores from 75 to 40 cents per ton is of decided advantage to manufacturers near tide water mid will enable them to use foreign ores more freely than has boeh possible hitherto. The saving cf 25 cents per ton on iron ore may look like a small matter, bfit it' means a saving of about 50 cents on each ton of pig iron made from foreign ore, and with many manufacturers this is enough ta change loss into profit. This reduction in duty has not injured any domestic iron ore mining interests, nor would the removal of the rem.lining 40 couts per ton do any damage. Under no conditions can foreign Iron ore invade the natural legitimate territory of the great Lake Superior mining companies, which lies west of the Alleghany mountains. The natural market for foreign ores lies rear the sea*/jard, and to claim that this territory Xiongs to iron ore producers in Minneifeita, Michigan or Wisconsin is an abarird assumption. Tlr*-t the increasing imports of iron ore arn not depriving domestic producers ca any portion of their traders show by the reports from the Lake Superior mining region, which assert that the output of ore in that section will be the largest ever reached. As the maximum production of the Lake Superior regie.^ which was attained in 1890, was ©,<.‘22,379 gross tons, and the output in 1894 was only 7,748,933 tons, it will be seen how great must be the increase in activity in that region to pass from lust year’s output beyond the high point of 1890. Although only one-third of the shipping season has passed, Lake Superior mines have sent over 3,000,000 gross tons of iron ore to market. The Gogebic range, which shipped 1,810,290 tons last year, has sent out nearly 1,000,000 tons thus far, and its output is expected to reach 2,500,000 tons this season, and in other mining districts of the great Lake Superior re- j gion similat activity is manifested. This increasing activity in the iron ore trade, both foreign and domestic, is of great importance to transportation interests. The larger imports mean in- ; creased shipments of gut coal to foreign j countries*, for nearly every steamer that- j comes in laden with ore goes out with a cargo of coaL An increase of over 1,000,000 tons in the output of the Lake Superior iron ore inines means just that much more freight for the hike steamers to carry, and both t-lie imports and domestic output of care have to be hauled by the railroads. The influence of the Increasing activity in the iron industry is felt throughout a wide ramification of allied anjl dependent branches of trade. Two Good Tilings.

WOOL ADVANCING IN PRICE. Rm Raw Material Policy Vindicated. New Mills Started. The McKinleyites will find no oansoi lation in the review of developments in * the wool industry for the first half of 1895 made in the current issue at The American Wool and Cotton Reporter. Reports from the leading markets of the country show that the upward movement in the price of wool continues, the average rise during the past fortnight being 2 cento a pound, with the market j very active and the sales the largest re- ! corded in the corresponding period for | several years. There has also been an i advance in London prices, and the position of wool in both hemispheres is pronounced strong, with indications of continued strength. The demand for consumption is large, as our mills are using “vast quantities" of wools, and their requirements are likely to be large in future. There is “a growing belief on the part of both dealer and grower that wool is good property. ” The record of new mill enterprises set on foot during the past six months foots up 201 against only 116 in the first half of 1894, which, in The Reporter’s opinion, “furnishesconvincing evidence that the clouds of depression have been giving way, and that a period of prosperity is developing in textile lines." Free wool is the great feature of the new tariff. It would have been worth the long strugg^ we had if we had got no other gain over the McKinley law than this. The putting of wool on the free list was one of those revolutionary changes which test conflicting theories and furnish the basis for a popular judgment as to whether the claims made by the reformers were well founded. The high tariff men professed to welcome the issue. They declared with the utmost assurance that the change would ruin both the woolgrower and the wool manufacturer and insisted that a trial of the experiment would convince every doubter that their contention was well founded. The advocates of free wool were equally positive and confident. The test is now being made, and it has already gone so far that the number of Republicans who are ready to advocate a restoration of the old duties is daily diminishing. Before another year has elapsed free wool will be so firmly established that no party will dare to threaten a change.—New York Post.

NEW TARIFF ADVANTAGES. American Steel Finds a Market In Europe—Future Outlook. ilie shipment of 1,000 tons of steel billets from Youngstown, O., to Europe is another evidence of the advantages of the new tariff law to the industrial life of 'this country. It is the opening of a new field for the purchase and consumption of the products of American mills and holds out the hope that whenever there is a temporary cessation in the demand at home a market may be found abroad, and thus the mills continued in operation to the infinite advantage of labor. There has been for a long time a mistaken notion prevalent as to the causes which excluded American industrial products from the markets of the world. That is to say, the impression has been that the higher rates of wages have operated as a bar against exportations of manufactured goods. The truth is that this cause has had no effect in that direction, as is shown by this consignment of billets from Youngstown immediately following a second voluntary advance in wages at that point. The labor cost of production is now and has been for years much lower here than in any part of Europe. The wages of an individual workman hero is greater, it is true, but the producing capacity of an American workingman is so much higher than that of a European as to more than cover the difference. The real cause of the exclusion of American products from European markets heretofore was the tax on raw materials. For example, the tax on ore necessary to produce a ton of steel billets under the McKinley law was not less than $ 1.50. The reduction of this amount to about half is just sufficient to make trade in Europe possible, and it will not be surprising if in future a considerable part of the product of American mills is marketed on the other side of the water. —Kansas City Times. Protectionist Wisdom. Light is slowly breaking in upon the New York Tribune as to the stimulating effect upon trade of the removal of tariff restYSInts, and it has now got so far as to warn its readers that the consequences of the new tariff are not yet known. This is a great advance over the period when these consequences were dogmatically asserted to involve the necessary ruin of American industry, and ha-dly any one can object to the proposition as an abstract truth.— New York Post.

RESULTS OF REFORM, WHAT THE REPUBLICANS HAVE DONE IN THIS LINE. Opposing IPhctkiM In Now York itcen.se Inch Qtltor—Pepanitvonio’s Coetl? K*pcrtence—Jobs Is Chicago—Grand Jury to Investigate Illinois Lawmakers. A glance around the political horizon will acquaint us with some curious results of the reform campaigns recently undertaken by the Republicans. The great center of the reform sentiment among the Republicans last yea' was New York, state and city, bnt especially the city. Democrats were in control of both, but many Democrats were so incensed at certain abases that had come to light that they were willing to co-operate with the Republicans to bring about a change; hence ths large majorities which the Republicans have since been claiming as evidence of a revulsion of public .sentiment against the Democratic party generally. In order to perfect reform in New York it was necessary to enlist the cooperation of that distinguished reformer, Thomas C. Platt, who stipulated that he was to be consulted as to all appointments. How well reform has succeeded there is told by an address which the Platt Republicans have just issued. They set out the pledges made by Mayor Strong in detail, concluding each count with the announcement that the statement has been before the people for months, and that neither the mayor nor any friend of his has ever dared, to deny it. We cannot notice all these charges, but invite attention to the last paragraph: “The results of such a shameless exhibition of lack of moral sense and absence of personal or official integrity by New York’s highest officer must be disastrous to both public and private virtue, and municipal rascals for the next 20 years will point with pride to William L. Strong, the ‘reformer’ of 1895, as having provided a precedent for any scandalous violation of decency in which they may choose to indulge. Such a spectacle has never before been presented iu an enlightened community by a civilized man. ” We* copy this without prejudice as the judgment of the Republican organization of New York of the result of the reform movement in which it participated. It is needless to say that Mayor Strong’s opinion of the Platt Republicans is equally unfavorable. We have already noted the succe#5|of the reform movement in Philadelphia and the nice things which the Quay and auti-Quay factions are saying of each other throughout Pennsylvania. Six months ago a Democratic governor was succeeded by a Republican. Since then many new offices have been created, and the governor co-operated with the legislature in increasing expenses by a million of dollars. Over in Chicago at the spring election there was a great Republican reform movement that triumphed by a large majority. Everything was to be lovely after that, but somehow expectations have not been realized. The Chicago papers are full of bowls over jobs that have been pushed through the beard of aldermen. Of the latest of these, known as the Calumet and Blue Island ordinance, The Tribune says that its passage cost from $100,000 to $150,000. As it gives the Illinois Steel company absolute control of the entire lake front from Eighty-third street to the Indiana state line it is no doubt cheap at the

price. 'J'he Republicans also got control of the Illinois legislature by their victory last November. Now conies The TimesHerald, a Republican paper, and says that certain members of the legislature are in danger of being sent to the penitentiary for taking bribes for their votes and influence in the passage of the game law. Some of the bribed are from {.’ook county and others from the rural districts. The grand jury will be asked to investigate. This by no means exhausts the list of the reforms that have Ivon accomplished by the Republicans this year, but we need not pursue the subject further at present. As the Republicans of Kentucky are kindly oiler mg to “reform” our state government it is well that the people should understand how Republican reforms are carried out.—Louisville Courier-Journal. Not Koch la i Name. The Detroit Free Press is an excellent newspaper, but it ought to know better than to ascribe the improvement in business to the “Wilson bill.” The “Wilson bill” reposes in a mangled condition in one of the pigeonholes of a deserted committee room. The act which the esteemed Free Press and other cuckoo organs were pleased to term ttys “Gorman-Brice outrage}” is on the statutes and is doing the business the Free Press so much admires.—Washington Post. . What Free Wool Is Doing. Refreshing little paragraphs like the following frequently appear nowadays in reports of the wool markets: Londox, July 8.—There was a large attendance at the wool sales today. American operators showed in the front of the bidding f- r superior Merinos, securing many of the lx-tter lots at full rates. While American manufacturers are securing some of the linest foreign fleeces, they are not neglecting domestic wool, the prices of which are rising.— Exchange. _s_ Prosperity In Spite of Prophets. Predictions that the country was ruined contrasted with prevailing prosperity would indicate that McKinley prophets aren’t in it with those of business.—Philadelphia Times.
