The New York Chamber of Commerce has asked a numU r of representative men in various professional lines to say w hy ti.i y oppose free silver coinage. Henry Clews sent ten reasons, which are lUcause it would debase a large an 1 ultimately controlling portion of our circulation medium, drive out gold, contract a Volume of ,,ur money, reduce the bullion value of silver, make papei money fall to the sun. value as the sil ver dollar, create tne most sweeping monetaiy ri volution in hi.-torv, depress prict s.ii.d w ae, s, diminish the means of del. tors to pay d. Pts, break up our for eign commerce and ruin the credit and the reputation of the l uited States, and because no ffective restraints could he enforced to conhne coinage to the home product. i so: -iaiider suit tried in our Common court hi re on Fritlav hist, in which vi iv. rnor ll;tstinus was the plaintiff and F. .1. O'Connor, Ks.p, was the (h fondant, and in whh-h a verdict for three thous and dollars was sriven to the plaintiff. may answer the purpose for which it was intended. It has since I e.-n heralded all over the broad land as a vindication of Covernor lfa-tir.gs and he may regard it as heinu worth the powder r pired for the shot, although it was evident to all nearby spectators that the ammunition was fur nished by the plaintiff. The trial from the berinnini: to tin end was a legal travesty and when the governor of a great state sets the exam t.ie and shows to what a trillinir use the courts of his commonwealth can be put, it is but small wonder that judges are considering the propriety of wearing gowns for the purpose of impressing common jwople with the idea that courts are to be regarded with a respect that such fiascos as that of Friday tails to inspire. The trial had all the accompaniments of a first class circus. The street parade a special train loaded with an ex governor, generals, colonels, majors and other like attractions fresh from their native jungles lent a glamour aud glit ter to the iuceptiou of the great trial for JoO.OOO damages which was sadly out of joint with its finale and close, which however, resembled the ten-cent concert at theclo.-e of ail fh.-t class exhibitions. Any of our readers who are at all fa miliar with court trials will know that when a slander suit, involving damages laid it the sum of $50,1 K'O, can lie fin ished in live hours selecting a jury, two Ofiening Seeches from the. attor neys, the examination of witnesses, the charge of the court and the usual trim mings, it must have been tried with a vim and defended with a vigor worthy of the importance of the case. Tiik iron trade is the business baro niete , i ecause its activity o- depressio i retlects similar conditions in other in dustries. I'nless the distribution of pro ducts te large, and the people and the railroad companies well employed, the building and construction work which the makers of iron and steel are chielly dependent for custom would not be car ried forward. The late Jay Gould, who was one of the most successful bear spec ulators that wall street has ever known, is credited with the maxim that it is never safe to sell stocks short when iron is advancing in price. The present flourishing condition of the iron industry is a signal of danger to the speculators who hope to fatten upon the wreckage of values. There are indications that this iron trade barometer has only leguii to ri.-e. The substantial improvement in iron prices and in the wages of iron workers thiit nas atreauT neen esiannsneii na. come w ithout material aid from the pur chasing departments of the railroad com panits: and larger buying from this quarter is likely soon to give fresli im petus to the industry. The carriers have been economizing for two years past. Track replacement, new mileage and the requirements for full equip ment have been so long held down to the "hard times" minimum that the re newal of demand, when it shall b.-gin in earnest, is likely to be very large. It is evident that the recovery in iron trade condition.- as yet retlects the effect of business recuperation still in its in fancy. The bulletin ot the American Irou and Steel association announces that the price of steel rails at the Pennsylvania mills has litcu advanced from 22 to $24 per ton, salt s at the latter figure having heeu made w ithin the last week. It is added that it would be diihcult to place orders for immediate delivery at any price. The heavy purchases of rails by the railroads during the past three weeks give unmistakable evidence of the return of activity and prosperity to the great transportation interests of the country. If the railroad companies shall now undertake to carry out all the construction and repair work which has been ostponed because of unprofitable business during the past two years the iron industry will receive a very large volume of trade. Every indication shows that the irou trade is entering up on a jieriod of tremendous activity. As an evidence of prosperity in the many branches of manufacture of which iron and steel are the basis this is a most en couraging sign. The Altoona Tritium', whose Republi canism cannot be questioned, draws the line on the questionable conduct of the last legislature. It says: The tre mendous Republican majority in Penn sylvania at recent elections was apparent ly interpreted by the Pennsylvania boss ami his numerous following to give them a brief to increase salaries, create new othces, legislate away valuable franchises and in other ways feather their own nests. The result has lieen to arouse a feeling of indignation which is not likely to die out so long as a single one of the men who have taken part in this carnival of misrule has not been retired to private life. Indeed if the voters of Pennsyl vania were to condone such crimes against good government, such wanton violations of the constitution as have lately occurred, they would be unfit for self government. The formulation of a superior court, says the Harrisburg l'otriut, amounts to a political crime. There is no necessity for it. It is useless and extravagant There has never Ieen any combination of circumstances which could Ik? con St rued in- a demand for an additional court. No set of men have ever made themselves so valuable to the state as to be supplied with such fat berths at the expense of the people. The superior court Ls mearly a treasury parasite. It was created essentially as such, and if appro veil at all as such, it will be consti tuted and buch it will always remaiu. .lilll!gill heller. Washington. Jutu- -2.

The con dition of the irou market warrants an advance in tiie price of coke, which would have been accomplished at the re cent meeting of the operators in New York but for the opposition of W.J. Kauiev. All the other producers were willing to put the price up to iJl.oO per ton, but Kidney claimed that he had not been treated fairly and was able to sell all the coke he could produce at a profit able figure. This put a damper on the syndicate scheme and nothing further has been thine. If the price of coke is advanced now, the H. C. Frick com panv will have to make the move. And thev are reluctant to do, because as soon ;IS they put furnace coke up to t'l .oU per , the wages of the miners ami coke workers will have to be advanced ac cording'y. The Frick company would have no hesitancy in making such a move were it not that they have no cuarantee that the onerators would fol low tlieir example 1 hero woulil he no advantage in advancing coal to tl ami wag 'S iu proportion, anil then have the other proprietors cut the rate down tweiitv or thirty cents. .Mysterious l,j ncliing.
