Why do not Free Traders Make Iron? We hiVe, for years, pressed this ques tion-upon the public attention, insisting that it deserved an answer. Here are nearly gall the American people. who are led to Believe that enormous profits are daily realized by the' "American makers of Irori,,espeeially of Pig Iron. But this branch of industry is free and open to all; and it is a simpler businesi to run an iron -furnace than to wit* a farm.— The raw materials-ore, Coal, Lime— abound:on, every side,• and in almost every State; they have little or tto, pecu niary :value; and they are owned by Free-liaders as well as by Protection , ists. a very simple matter to build a furnace or stack; thousands stand ready to do it promptly and well; or, if you choose, there are lots of furnaces now out , of blast that can be bought for less that their cost. Suppose it to be true that the duty on Pig Iron ($9 per ton) effect, a bounty to the pro ducer,-oabling him to sell his Iron for nearly 9:f quite that amount over the cost of prodlibing it, why don't tins Free Tra ders ruA into the business, share the profit, end ultimately reduce the price.? What i4-the reason that Iron is •an ex ception to the law of Supply and De mand, which even Free Traders recog nize atriiperative with regard to every thing n.ei affected by the Tariff ? We have at length driven one of them to answer, thrugh The Evening Post,— Here It1:-What he says, and all he says,en the Main Question:. ' , The amount of capital which must be investt?l in the production of iron is enormous, if it is to be made profitable, It should possess an iron and coal-re gion, and erect works that would cost a very in.47.ge sup of money. These who have the disposition to 4L' 't; capital from other profitable employment have been often told by Proteetionists that the business cannot be pursued withonlpositive loss, unless enormously protected . hyduties upon imports ofiron that are 'gamest prohibitory; and that, _ even witi2 Such Protection, the iron mas ters cats' rely sustain themselves. We do not believe this impression is correct. There4e many facts which tend to throw discrei*upon it; among which tho great facilitWfor its production named in Mr. GreeleY!s article, above quoted from, are prominent. Yet, as their capital is all profitity invested, and they hive meth ods of.. producing iron by exchano a ing American agricultural productions for it in - for-sign lands; where 'cotton, rice, beaf, pork, 'cheese,,,flour, and 'tither". 'Aln - prod u cc, are as , tutieh -wanted as iron is wanted in this country, they prefer to keep 'their capital employed as 'it is, rather than divert it to other uses, the profit of which depends entirely upon the patronage of Government. if they should .be persuaded, " coaxed, jeered, shamed or driven into making American iron,' by so diverting. their capital from its present proper, profitable and judi cious uses; they feel no assurance that the childish and iniquitous policy of the Government, which, according to Mr. Greeley, would have to be their sole de, peudence, and which they deem unjust. could be perpetuated. They would have to become the advocates of a Protective sys tem which they detested, and they have too much confidence in the intelligence of the American people to believe that they will be - the dupes. and victims of such a policy lcng enough to enable them to make much profit out of the delusion." Comments by the Tribune. A. O. FURST EEO! 1132 I= We defy any candid man to say that the substance of the above is not exactly this : The Free Traders do not believe what their own oracles tell them with regard to the profits of Iron-niaking,and do believe the statements on this point of the Protectionists. Read the above extract once more, very carefully, and see if it does not amount to just that.— Free Traders own millions of acres of Coal and Iron Ore; they would like to make money out of them; yet they hold off, and allow millions' worth of Pig Iron to be imported annually. in addi tion to all that is made in the country, because they know that the Free Trade clamor affirming the enormous profits of making Pig Iron is a swindle; and they prefer to be swindlers rather than swindled. But they don't choose "fo divert their " capital from other profitable employ " ment.. Certainly not, unless into cne more profitable; and this they do not be lieve Ircm-making to be. Here is Mr. A. T. Stewart, a zealous Free Trader, who returns an income for 1868 of over Three Millions of Dollars. This he in vests mostly in city real estate, Hemp stead plains, &c., as he has a perfect right to do. He might have invested it in Ore, Coal, &c., and run up a row of furnaces with all the , latest improve- . ments, from which- he could have turned out two:or three hundred thousand tens of Pig Iron per annum; but he chose to invest his money very differently. Do you suppose he would have done it if he believed there was $lO per ton profit in making Pig Iron? Do you believe he couldn't have made that if any one could ? Here is Com. Vanderbilt who, every year, requires for the railroads which' he substantially controls several Mil lions of dollars worth of Steel and Iron. It has been practically settled by a gen eration's experience in running European railroads that each great Company sho'd roll . its own rails, make its chairs, &0., not so much with an eye to profit as in order to be sure of uniform excellence in its material. A flaw often costs a company half a million dollars; and it can't afford to take any risk of flaws that can be avoided. We hope to announce. ere long that the Central Company.hence forth rolls and re-rolls. every rail it•,puts• down. I. can put up works of! the, pre cise capacity indicated by its own wants; it can own its own coal and ore-beds, From tle New York Tribune. and concentrate its mterials over its own lines cheaper than, any other iron maker could. Rims a beady market and assured pay for every pound of Iron it can make. Yet, up to:this hour, so far as we know, Com.yafiderbilt has • made no Iron. Why "?,,Yo'liknow exactly why. He believes he_dan:tise, his money to bet ter advantage. • And what he don't know b in the matter of money-malting, it isn't worth while 'to undertake to tell him. . . . . . . . Whether we ough t erought not to make Iron when it costs more (in &oilers) than w e e could buy it for (in the absence of a Tariff) abroad, is a question on which we are not likely . soon to agree with the Free Traders. They, think it a losing business to make Pig Iron that costs $4O per tun when we might,.by taking off the duty, buy ;it` England a n t $3O to $35 per tun. We, other hand, be-. lieve it would cost its far more in our la bor or its products than it now does,that the fruit's, grain, meat, vegetables, but ter, weed, &c., &c., that we now sell to our Iron-means would not be worth nearly what we now get for them if our Iron-making were transferred to Europe. That issue remains to be fought ; out; but we submit that the Free Trade outcry agaitist "monopoly," "exorbitant pro "fits," &c., in iron-making, is an expos-. ed fraud—an exploded delusion. A GOOD STORY FOR MODERATE DRINK RIM—An old friend of the late Judge Fletcher, of this city, related to the wri ter, many years ago, the following char acteristic anecdote: .111 r. Fletcher, when a young man, boarded in the old Ex. change Coffee. House.. Without_much consideration, he had fallen in With the drinking fashion of the day, se far as to have a glass of spirits andwater brought to his room every night, to be taken - on going,, to bed, as "a night-cap." One night an unusual press of company pre vented the bar-keeper from carrying up Mr. Fletcher's usual night dram. The 'Squire didn't regard it as quite the thing for him to go to the bar and get his grog, and so he went to bed without . his " night-cap." But to sleep, he could not. All night long he tumbled about for lack of his accustomed drink. And as he did so, hi:s active and discriminl ling mind worked most diligently. The fruit of his reflections appeared next morning, when, on getting up weary and worn by his hard and restless night, Mr. Fletcher went directly to the bar keeper: "Mr. —, you didn't bring up my_brandy 'and later last night, and as a cbnsequence - I.; have:slept aittle- or none all night." The barkeeper was very sorry. This neglect should not occur again. " Not so," rejoined Mr. Fletcher, "never bring me another drop of liquor unless I order it. If it has come to this, that I can't sleep without the help of a tumbler of toddy, it is high time that I stopped drinking, and brake up the dangerous habit." From that clay Mr. Fletcher became a thorough-going temperance man,—Bos ton Traveller. . A - TAIL OF A DOG.—No dorg to love, none to karess, how can I ever my sad ness express? Chunck is defunct, ded as a nale, hushed is his barkin and still is his tail. 0 ! such a tale—white on the end; opht did he chaise it with wiggle and bend, chaiS'S it With hope, twisting around, till overcome, ho reposed on the ground; now be's ekstingt, ded ez a nale. where am his bark and wag of his tale?
