8ATURDAY, JANUARY 8, .1870.
BLUNDERING ESTIMATES OF THE
COMMISSIONER OF HE VENUE.
A memorial to Congresa isBued by the, lead
ing iron companies of this State emphatically
contradicts tha estimate of the cost of pig
iron which was made in the report of Mr.
Wells, Special Commissioner of the Rere
aue. He assert that the coot, including a
liberal interest on the capital forested,, is not
more than from $24 to $20 per ton, whilo
they allege that the average coat, during the
last two years, exclusive of interest Jon capi
tal and charges for transportation from the
furnaoes, has exceeded $29 per ton. They
also invite and challenge a searching investi
gation, "that the truth may be made public,
and error, however strongly endorsed, be
effectually confuted." The dooision of the
question of fact thus boldly put in imue
may have an important bearing upon the in
dustrial interests of the country, inaniunc'a
as Mr. Wells bases a recommendation for the
reduction of the duties on iron on the enti
mates which are pronounced to be erroneous;
and if he is convicted of a blunder on such,
an- essential point, Congress will have but
little disposition to make the tariff corre
spond to his false calculations.
I The progress made during the last ten yearn
in increasing the ratio between the product,
and oonsumptionof iron has been of immeus9
service in increasing national wealth, in de
veloping latent resources, and in furnishing
remunerative employment to tens of thou
sands of industrious citizens. Every year the
necessity of dependence upon Great Britain
for any form of the most useful of .uet-tl-i
diminishes, and under the present system
the period is rapidly approaching whea im
portations will cease. Our natural resources
are so illimitable, bur stock of ores so varied
. and inexhaustible, and ur facilities for en
larging the existing furnaces or building new
ones are so great, that it would be no di'Jicult
task to make in this country, after a few
years' notice, as much iron as the whule
world consumes. The comparatively high
cost here of labor and capital constitutes the
only difficulty in the way of as complete a
supremacy in this produot as America has
already obtained in sewing machines; but if
the protective barriers which defend our iron
companies from ruinous competition are de
stroyed, our ores will again lie negloctod in
their native mines until a wiser generation
shall arise, thousands of workmen will be
thrown out of employment, whole towns will
be abandoned, and large districts of Penn
sylvania and other commonwealths which now
teem with a busy population will relapse into
thoir native wildness, while the aggregate
produot of American industry will be mate
rially diminished, foreign indebtedness will
inorease, and in grasping at the worthless
shadow of poor, cheap British iron, the invalu
. able substance of an abundant vand service
able American product will be lost. Mr.
Wells invokes Congress, at a time when far
too much money is spent abroad, and when
the development of every native source of
wealth should be an object of national soli
citude, to favor this disastrous policy. Even
if his conjectures in regard to the cost of a
product which is formed so exclusively of
home labor and home materials were correct,
the representatives of the people should not
.adopt his recommendations; but if they
prove to be, as those who are most familiar
with the subject allege, grossly erroneous,
his free trade propositions should be spurned
with contempt.
DO WN WITH THE INCOME 7 AX.
The repugnance to a continuance of the in
come tax increases with the discussion of its
obnoxious characteristics. It is odious to
those who are exempt becauso that very fact
proclaims their comparative poverty; and it
ii odious to richer men because they are com
pelled to expose their prosperity to tho world,
and thus to subjeot themselves to a thousand
annoying importunities. It is unjust and
unequal because evasions are extremely easy,
and those who do not stickle at false state
ments readily escape a large portion of thoir
legitimate burden, while conscien
tious men are mulcted of the last
farthing due. During the war patriotic citi
zens cheerfully submitted to it, and they are
still ready to contribute to the Government
all the money needed to maintain its efllcioncy
and it credit, but in a time of peace and
prosperity they feel that tho superfluous ag
gravationof an exposure of theirprivate arjnirs
should be discontinued. The Congress which
established the tax practically acted on this
theory by limiting its duration, and the
present Congress had much better withstand.
the frowns of Commissioner Delano than the
indignation of irate constituencies, which they
would inevitably evoke by an unnecessary
continuanoe of what lmtish as well as
American experience has proved to be the
most unequal and most unpopular of all
taxes. -
Tub Eabtkbn distillers seems to have a
standing grudge gainst Commissioner De
lano, on the ground that he favors the West
ern whisky-makers. It is alleged that, while
the laws are strictly enforced in Pennsylva
nia, laxity prevails in Ohio. We hope these
accusations are unfounded, and that he is
doing his best to enforce a collection of the
tax on spirits in all quarters of the Union, for
it would be to the last degree disgraooful for
a high national official, to designedly dis
charge hU duties in a manner which would give
the industrial interests of one section an ad
vantage over those of another. The Com
missioner should be just even to those who
convert good grain into bad liquor.
A NEW RELIGIOUS MOVEMENT.
A talented priest of the Tuseyite branoh of
the . Church of England, Rev. Joshua D.
Bradly, is about to establish a mission in the
slums of New York, to trhich considerable
importance is attached by the journals of that
city. Mr. Bradley's success in labors of a
similar charaoterin London warrants the belief
that he will exeroiso a good influence upon the
outcasts of Gotham, and there is perhaps no
field for missionary labor of equal importance
whioh is more grossly neglected. His plan of
operation is somewhat similar to that adopted
by the Bedford Street Mission of this city,
and ho intends to reside among, visit fre
quently, and minister to the temporal as well
as the spiritual ' welfare' of the objects
of his solicitude. There is a certain degree
of novelty in the idea of an Englishman,
maintained by English funds, undertaking
missionary work in tho groat importing city
of the United States; but there can be no
doubt that ample scope will be found tho re
not only for all his energies, but for the self
sacrificing labors of numerous other re
formers from other portions of the ' world.
Additional interest is attached to his move
ment by the fact that the priests of his pecu-'
liar belief are now subjected to so many an
noyances and persecutions by a portion of
the English Episcopalians that a number of
thoir leaders already contemplate emigration
to this country as a resort which may at no
distant period become necessary for the full
enjoyment of thoir religious froodom. If
this conjecture proves correct, they will begin
by making Amerioa a missionary ground, to end
by finding hore safe rofnge for themselves.
ABUSES IN ASYLUMS.
Wk make laws," says Lady Mary Montagu,
"but we follow customs." Now it is the cus
tom of Philadelphia to be charitable, it is
her habit to give largely, and, out of the same
force of habit, once having given, to trust im
plicitly to her almoners and look after her
money no further. No individual or institu
tion is so endowed with power of abuse as
that whose reputation is highest, and none
buroly are no tempted to abuse that power. It
would be worth while for the people of Phila
delphia now, on this first of the year, while
renewing their subscriptions to asylums and
reformatories, to look more closely into their
management and find how fur their charity
actually serves its end. Massive buildings,'
improved grounds, kitchens, laundries, and
bakery in cleanly order, of which we boast in
our noble charities, are no doubt good things,
but they are only appliances, and outside
appliances. If the boy goes out of the House
of Refuge worse than when he went in, by
herding with lower ruffians than himself; if
the Magdalen hurries back gladly to her
downward oourse, and the poor lunatic
i i - - -
grows year oy year more nopeiepsiy in.
sane from his confinement, our iuatmifl-
cent bnildings and laundries and kitchens
are but little to boast of after all.
The point we wish candidly to urge is this:
That our great public charities need the oon.
nt watchful supervision of the press, and
its bold, outspoken criticism. Superintend
ents and managers are but the servants of the
public, and, faulty men like ourselves, are
peculiarly liable to become the slaves of some,
system, to which they submit their patients
as so many sacks of corn thrown into a mill.
The work of cure or reform in large institu
tions has a natural tendency to become a
mere machinery of routine, in whioh abso
lutely no hoed is taken of individual need or
capacity. It is the easy and the common
habit to pass over this matter with a well-
turned phrase of compliment to the board
of managers or skilful superintendent, but it
is the jufeter course to remember that the poor,
the insane, the criminals whom these men
have in charge are the wards of the people,
whose money is largely paid for their sup
port, and who have a right to know how they
are dealt with. j
It is a fact that in some of the largest insti
tutions of this city the grossest mismanage
ment exists, the male department in one of
them being, to use the words of a visiting
physician, a disgrace to humanity. In some of
the hospitals the beds are insufhcient and
vilely cared for; in more than one of the
insane asylums the superintendent physicians,
by their own admission, see the patients not
oftener than once a month, and atrftie of
them, never, and the young medioul students
in whoso care they are left consign their re
sponsibility again to the attendants. Theje
attendants are almost invariably of the lowest
class of Germans and Irish, selected for their
strength solely. A delicate, refined woman,
for instance, whose mind is unhinged by some
grief or physical cause, and who needs, as
never before, the tenderest care and most
watchful skill, is suddenly removed from
home, made the constant companion of some
stolid, Ignorant woman whom she would not
have trusted in her kitchon, probably, and
receives from her whatever comfort, medical
supervision, or chance of cure falls to her lot
We speak advisedly in these matters. It is
time that the fresh outside air penetrated to
many of our boasted charities, and it shall' be
our honest effort to aid in thoir ventilation
and cleansing, giving honor only where honor
industry due.'
Pkkhlesh Pedkstuianism. Lord Albert Pel
ham Clinton is a sample of a rising .class iu
the ranks of the titled aristocracy of Eng
land. . We are not aware that Lord Albert
Felhara Clinton is endowed with any special
gifts in the way of brains, but he is certainly
possessed of a pair of very remarkable logs.
Perhaps we should eomo nearer the mark by
savins that Lord Albert Pelham Clinton is
possessed of a very remarkable pair of legs,
He, or rather his logs, is equal to five miles
an1 hour, on a two-hour stretch, and that
without any previous special training. In
fact, Lord Albert Telham Clinton has "done"
his tea miles in two hours, with three
minutes aud .three seconds to spare, and he
has put I TiO sterling in his purse by so doing.
At this rate be could udo" a hundred miles
inside of twenty-four hours, with full four
hours, thiily minutes, and thirty seconds
wherein to rest. This proves Lord Abert
Felhnm Clinton to be a greater "wnlkist"
than Weston. Mr. Disraeli is on the look-out
for a conservative leader ia' the .House of
Lords. Evidently Lord Albort Polham Cliuton
is his man. It may be that he does not know
much; but thou the same objection can be
urged against Iiord Abercorn, who Is spoken
of prominently as the prospective Parliamen
tary successor of the late Earl of Derby, and
Lord Albort Pelhaoi Clinton ; possesses the
decided advantage of a very aristocratic ---nonien
and a peerless pair of legs. ; .
Pomk moxtus ago Charles Dickens m 1c nn
after-dinner speech at Birmingham, in which
he declared that "he had no faith in tho
people governing, but entire faith in the
people governed." This oracular utterance
was interpreted in mnny different ways; some ,
doclaring that Mr. Dickens, like many of the'
once liberal literary' men of England, in-'
tended to repudiate his early creed, and
others that it was a reaflinr tion of it. Others
again contended that it was an attempt to
carry water on both shoulders, and there
were not a few who thought that it meant
nothing at all except that Mr. Dickens had.
taken a glass or so more sherry than was good
for him. and 1 that he did ' not know
what he was saying. This was certainly , i
the most probable solution of the mystery,
but it seems that Mr. Dickens did mean Home-;
thing, for on Thursday evening he made an
other speech at the same place, when he ex
plained matters by stating that "he hud no
faith in the people (with a small p) governing,
but entire faith in the people (with a large V)
governed," which is about as silly and as un
meaning as his first effort; but then he added,
by way of answer to his conundrum, that tho
idea be intended to convey" was that "he put
infinite trust in the masses none whatever
in the so-called governing classes." j
The question is why did he not say this at
first, and then his hearers would not have
roitmnderstood him, and the newspaper of
England and America would have been spured
a great doarof trouble in endeavoring to de
cipher his meaning.
Tim Scrtc. Canat. is undoubtedly a ;rct
engineering work, but it seems to be agreed
by all disinterested ad responsible observers
that it is not such a Success as its projectors
desired or intended. Only vessels of a very
light draught can pass through it, and by
some blunder . there are a number jif sh,irp
curves, in turning which it is iduiost impos
sible for boats of any size to avoid getting
aground. Besides, the desert sands are con
tinually drifting iuto the cut. so that it will
require constant vigilance and an immense
annual outlay merely to keep the
canal in order, whilo to make it
available for vessels of the largest class
will necessitate an additional expenditure
equal if not greater than that which has
already been made. The only partial success
of the Suez Canal suggests the importance of
making the often-talked-of cut at Darien.
Such a canal, if once constructed, would be
open to but few of the objections of the one
at Suex, and there is no doubt that a deep
and wide channel can be constructed at Darien
that will give passage to vessels of any size,
and, after the first cut, be but of comparatively
little expense to maintain in proper condition.
This work is of the utmost importance to tho
people of the United States, and efforts ought
to be made to keep the control of it entirely
in our own. hand. The Navy Department
has ordered the preliminary surveys of the
approaches to bo made, and it is to be hoped
that some decisive steps will shortly be taken
by capitalists to carry out the great enterprise.
Th Navi Di.vahtmbnt has received a re
port from ltear-Admiral Poor with regard to
the behavior of the Dictator reoently in a gale
while on a trip from Tybee roads, at the
mouth of the Savannah rivor, to Key West,
which indicates that vessels of the monitor
class cannot be relied upon to go to sea in
heavy weather. The Dictator appears to have
behaved well, but it is evident that she was
not under control to such an extent as to
give a reasonable guarantee of safety to her
officers and crew, who will probably unite
with Admiral Poor in' the opinion that such
vessels should not be sent to sea unless mode
rate breees and pleasant weather can be
assured. The monitors were built for and
are mainly adapted for harbor service, aud
although some of them have made long voy
ages in safety, they are not good sea boats in
the common acceptation of the term, and it
is a mere reckless risking of human life to
send them out when they are likely tf moot
-with bad weather.
