Tiir suspension and shutting down
of numerous iron mills all over the
country is an indication that something
is wrong. The Republican doctrine
that high tariil makes good times is at
present out of Joint, or if correct the

the rescue and make it higher.

TnE Supreme court, 6ays the Allen
town JJtuw'rut, has reversed tha de
cision of Judge Albright In reference to
the pay of constables for their monthly
inspection among liquor dealers. Un
der the Urooks High License law of
IS1??, the constables are required to vis
it every hotel in their several bailiwicks
at lease once a month, but by a singu
lar oversight no compensation was pro
vided for. The constables of Lehigh
county formed a league about a year
ago and Reuben Semmel, the constable
of Xorth Whitehall, brought a suit
against the County Commissioners for
mileage which he claimed for making
his monthly inspection. He alleged
thai he traveled 25 miles each time be
made the trip. Judge Albright de
cided the case in favor of Mr. Semmel,
and the County Commissioners appealeu
to the Supreme Court, whica last week
reversed the decision of the lower
Court. Tho decision wan watched with
great interest as it ailccts every consta
ble in the State, since these officials are,
under the decision, required to make
these inspections without receiving pay
thereror. In the Senate of Pennsyl
vania, Mr. Ilenninger. of Lehigh
county, lasc week introduced a bill pro
viding for a fee of 50 ceuts and a mile
age to constables for the extra work
imposed upon them by the high license
law.

Ar.cuiiisiior Rvax, of Philadelphia,
In response to a request for his views
upon the subject cf the Prohibition
amendment, writes the following letter :
"I believe coasMtational amendments
to be extreme measures, which should
be adopted only in case of supreme ne
cessity. I believe, as far as I am capa
ble of forming a judgment on the sub
ject, that high license and other laws
enacted to preserve the people from in
temperance, if duly enforced, would be
quite sulliclent to attain the desired
end that, is S3 far as mere legislation
can attain in. More stringent laws
could be euacted If found necessary
without touching the constitution
itself."

the iicu business of PeiiLsj ivania get
down to a healthy and siie busis.
While iron is made In this State sis
low as $13 per ton in establishments
specially favored by completeness of fa
cilities and location, the average cost
of producing iron is about $10 jr ton.
If iron could not be produced cheaper
elsewhere in this country, there might
be he pa for all such establishments in
this S:ate ; but when Alabama, with
Illimitable Iron, coal and limestone in
thsame localities, can produce iron at
?10 per ton, how long can Pennsylvania
iron works prosper It We have special
iron products which will long command
tbe markets of tho country, and we
have favored localities which with per
fect facilities can compete with any :
but there the profitable production of
iron in this State is stopped by the irre
sistible logic of facts and figures.
The imperative lesson that all must
learn in the production of iron in Penn
sylvania is the universal business law
that now demands the utmo&t cheapness
of product, and that ia forbidden whn
excessive capitalization or the absence
of perfection in location and facilities
confront the management. It is simply
the law cf common sene applied to

A Call Tor Greater Liberality .
The regular appropriation bills passed
at the lata suasion of Congress covers a
total of Jil.STS.G'.C,. Pensions lead in
this aggregate with cl.750.000. Tha
next is th po.t office department with
$Go.f05,000. but this Is covered, save a
small deticiency, by the postal receipts.
The total appropriation for tuo ernf
and navy amount to about half the n-n-sion
til.'. Y' t I'.iJt-j- Harrison
seems to tLink tbe country is not doing
it3 duty by ths veterans, and others, es
peciallv the others, wocld open the
doors wider, wnich means the d-penuent
pension bill vetoed by the late President
and kindred measures that would have
passed but for the known opposition and
the certainty they would invite a veto.
We think it quite within moderation to
estimate tbe pension appropriations be
fore the close of tbe present administras
tion at Sl.OOO.OUO a year.
Fifteen years ago. General Garfield,
as chairman of the Committee on Ap
propriations, stated ibe estimate for
that time, about thirty millions a year,
indicated the fiiiod tide of pension ap
ptopriations. They would probably re
main stationary. r said, quoting the
Commissioner of Pensions, and then a
decline would set it.
Well, we are getting an idea cf the
decline. A tout S'.XLOUO.OOO text vear.
S1UU.0UU.0UO the year later, ai.d so on
indefinitely. The American people arc
very generous, and are willing, nay,
solicitous, that every needy and deserv
ing veteran, disabled froia the pursuits
of life, ebould be well provided for.
There is no difference of opinion about
that. But the pension sys'.eni has long
gone Levond thesa bounds and has be
come an immense niachiuj of extravi
gance and j.Lbry. There ere pension
claim agents who boast their millions,
and in their red we get at the secret
of the etf real clatter for "more liberal
pensions," as if the government has
been anything el. but generous beyond
all precedent. I'iiUbur'j I'oji.
Ite Danger or Plutocracy.
Tho Richmond Times in a recent Lssue
sounds a note of warning to the people
of the United States over the frifhtfnl
growth of plutocracy ia the countrv, as
evidenced bv the men high in official
position. It calls attention to the fact
that, Crst or all, Mr. Morton, holding
the second ofice in the gift of the peo
ple, is indebted for bis office to the
icngth of his own purse aud tbe influ
ence wulch bis "bar'i" gives tim with
other members of the moneyed classes.
He it was who selected by the Chicago
Convention for Vice President, In ac
cordance with the advice of Senator
Ingalls, to nominate "some fellow like
Phelps, of Xew Jersey, who could get
contributions from manufacturers and
Wall street," and it was certainly not
his statemanship brt his money that
made him Vice-President. Then,
again, there is Wanamaker, whose case
ia too well known to need repetition.
Because be was instrumental m raising
tbe laigest sub3criptiou i4u0 000
for the corruption fund which enabled
Quay to buy Xew York and Indiana for
Harrison, be has len rewarded with a
Cabinet position which in the earlier
days of the Republic could only have
been commanded by a statesman of
acknowledged ability. The indiffer
ence of the people to all these things
and their appireut willingness to bow
beneath the yoke of the plutocrat is the
most alarming feature ot tbe situation.
A KrMRER of Xew York and west
tern capitalists have organized a cor
poration under the title of the Ameri
can Meat Company, which proposes to
engage in all the branches of the cattle
and beef industry, from the raising of
stock to the retailing of the product
The capital is fixed at 25,000.090, of
515,000,000 are to be issued forwith. It
is announced that in exchange for pro
perty 57,000,CO') o' the stick ha3 been
already taken, and it id ptt2 V-at
several millions are to be offered the
public at something below par. The
slaughter houses of the concern are lo

ill. The pegs by far outnumber the
boles. In order that the number of the
latter may be increased, an effort will
be made to induce tho administration
to ignore or evade the provisions of the
civil service law. Already the organ of
Secretaiy Blaine, ibo Xew York 7Vt-
Innt, urges that appointments in tbe
railway mail service be made without
regard to that law. Unless the Presi

spoilsmen of his party will cause him to

A Public Scandal.
The appointmeut and confirmation of
John Wanamaker as Postmaster Geu
ral, without rrotest from a single jeurnal
or leader cf the Republican party, is an
extraordinary incident.
TLe caustic and dreaded "Junin3."
in writing to a corrupt politician of lus
time, said : "If you choose to keep a
mistress, that is a matter of vour pri
vate conscience. Rut when jou flaunt
her in public placs it is an oflecee
against political morals."
If the Republican leaders chooe to
make ase of a canting Pharisee to col
lect corruption funds for the purpose cf
carrying elections, that is a matter of
thrir private consciences. Rut when
they reward thu purveyor to bribeis by
giing him a Cabinet odce i, is a
6hamcles3 oCcnse aguiust put i:c morals.
Mr. Wanamaker never before held
any position of public trust. He is as
ignorant of the public busiuess as be is
of matters of higher statesmanship.
Ili3 0Tily claim to distinction in politi
cal affairs is that be raised 1400,000 and
turned it over to Ro63 Quay, a notori
ous corruptionist and the pardoner of
bribers, upon the latter'n assurance that
the money should be used to help elect
Ilairison. Of tbe exact manner of its
use Mr. Wanamaker has said : "I
didn't want to know."
And for this service he Is made a
Cabinet officer I President Harrison's

have dared to make such a suggestion

Fortunes or Dudley.
During the past few days there has
been no little talk as to Colonel W W
Dudley and his treatment by President
Harrison. In Indiana Dudley is both
blamed and given credit for the part he
played in the last campaign. Jealousy
aud enmity have had a great deal to do
with the feeling against him. The
practical politicians who assembled
ere duriug the past few day showed
considerable Interest in his welfare It
la told, and with every evidence of
tru.h, that Dudley gave up a lucrative
business here to go to Xew York to
take prt io the management of the na
tional campaign committee, and this be
did. it Is claimed, a; the urgent request
cf 1 resident Harrison. What is creat
ing the trouble now is that Harrison
appoara inclined to ignore him. it is
said that Dudely has been actually
snubbed, and these who pretend to te
