Mr. Wells ou iron.
Is his Report fim 1868, Mr. Wells as
tonished probability by the broad asser
tion that our production of Iron had riot
been increased by Protective Duties—at
all events; ,that the-expansion and growth
of this industry had proceeded at the rate
of eight per eent. - per anrutn, Whether un
der Protection.or Free Trade. 'Mr. A'. S.
Hewitt had - Shown that. the reverse of this
is true in an elaborate essay read and
printed":l dozen' years ago ; and Mr. IT. C.
Carey-elaborately refuted it once more in
his criticisms on Well's Report.
Such refutation should not have been
needed, any more than a demonstration
that. a cannon ball will roll more swiftly
down a steep roof or along a gen
tle glade—that two and two do actually
make font. If anything is predicable of
human nature beyond the power of met
aphysicians or political economists to 'befog
it is unquestionable that Capital, Enter;
prise, and Skill, rapidly desert less profit
able for more profitable employments.
Whoever would cavil at this might. as well
deny' at once that Man is a ramonal being,.
or that motives influence his conduct.
Whatever may be false, this is true :
.Ninety-nine of every hundred persons will
do that which promises to pay them best
for the required sacrifice of time or corn
fort. And whoever contends' that more
Capital and Labor will not be drawn' into
making Pig Iron when the business pays
a profit of 65 to $lO per ton than when it
pays from $1 down to less than no profit
at all, only proves li;s own dishonesty or
radical incapacity.
We do not understand Mr. Wells to
maintain in his last Report this monster
error of its predecessor; how could he, in,
view of the incontestable facts that we
have more than doubled our product of
Pig Iron within the last five years? But
he still insists that the profit of making
Pig Iron is very great, cud cites certain
witnesses (chief among them a bankrupt
ex-iron-maker of Tennessee) to prove that
Pig Iron which the makers sell for $33 to
$35 per ton might be offerded for 820 to
$26. This the iron-masters generally de
ny; and statistics are bandied back and
forth in reckless profusion.
Editor.
Now it seems to us that those who are
actually making Pig Iron—making it with
all their might—ought to know what it
costs better then those who never made
any or have failed in trying to make it.
But we take no great interest in this
wordy war, since,' for our purpose, it is
better that Mr. Wells should be right
• than his antagonists. What we desire is
that the Iron needed to supply fully the
wants of our People should be made on
our own soil, not imported from abroad.
Washington urged that, in cue of his early
- messages; our most eminent patriots and
statesmen have deemed it iudispensible.
Madison, Taught by experience, urged
that- we satisfy our need of Iron more
yleaply in 'time of peace by importing, and
cet find -Jur cheap whistle a dear one when
we came to want Iron in war and not find
it; unless at exorbitant prices. If there
be one point on which the great men of
our heroic age were a unit, it is this—
thtt, we ought not to depend on Great
Britain for supply of Iron.
Now, then, we knim that . under Pro•
tection we are advancing swiftly toward
perfect independence of Europe in regard
to Iron. On this point, there is no room
for cavil or mistake. The sixty-five uew
and generally superior furnaces erected,
mainly West of the Alleghanics within
the lust eighteen montlis=the millidn tons
of, Pig Leen 'in this 'country in

Ai ANY, and important as are the services
which the Union League •Club of New
York' has rendered- to this city and the
country, there is no one more deserving
or gtateral recognition and earnest atten
tion than the report secured by it from
Dr. Franeis Leiber, the Chairman of its
Committee instructed to consider the ah
iitraction of money.from the public treas
ury for sectarian- uses. The•E,ures pre
sented by Doctor Lieber are still cling. In
one year there have been t tken from the
common sehoJls over halt a mil:ion dollars
for the uses of religious sects; :lad of this
sum a single sect has received over $400,-
000. The'same sect has received as a free
gift from the City Government nearly
three and a quarter millions of dollars'
worth of real estate. We welcome every
expenditure by every sect on its own ac
count, for magnificent churches, schools,
uuneries, or asylums, but we protest most
earnestly against the withdrawal from the
Common Schools. which are the Chief
guaranty or our republican government,
of moneys; raised by taxation upon the
whole.publie, for the benefit o f - any
The startling exhibit made in ibis report
we, feel sure. go far to confirm the
opinion urged again and again, that the
teaching of religious matter; must be with-
drawn tram the Public" School system as
the only security for the system itself.

luiprisontornt for !debt Abolished
in 31..:sigland.
On the first of January the new bank
rupt law,,:,whieh abolishes imprisonment,
for debt in England, except in cases of
county court judgments for small stuhs,
came -into operation, and there' was in
consequence: a general jail "delivery
from All , the debtors' prisons and "spong
ing houses . ' in the metropolis. It has
long been conceded that the practice of
locking up a titan who owes money which
he cannot pay and keeping him for years
iv prison like a felon, is as brutal. as it is
senseless, and the stubborn opposition of
Englishmen to innovation has kept alive
until now one of the niost cruel and ab
surd laws that, ever disgraced. the statute
hook of any country. Within the last
'twenty years, it is true, many modiflea
tions of the' ithprisonment for debt law
have beee.niade,:and there has been less
power than; there was prior to that time to
throw a.delator - into jail and let him rot
there; but still the ahuses have been nu
merhits, and - the opening'of the priCin
doors has turned - loose Upon - the world a
score or two - of miserable wretches who for
no.erime but poierty have grown old and
rusty in jail, and rendered unfit ever again
to earn their,living by labor. The, new
luw took'effeet on the first of January; and
hence at twelve .'o'clock at night on the
last day of the old 'year the prisoners
were virtually free, although a judge's or-,
der Dir their, release, might have been•re 7
qnired before they were 'actually set at
hberty. The governor of White Crosi
Street Prison, - the largest' place of deten
tion in• London, determined to waive this
formality, and notified the prisoners that
all who pleased were at liberty to leave
the jail at midnight of the 31st of Decem
ber, and out of ninety-four inmates,' thirty
one availed thernseves of the privelege.
These poor creatures longed so ardently
liberty- that they. paeked .their few
goods together as early as four or five
o'clock in the afternoon, and counted the
seconds until the 'hour of their release ar
rived, while in many cases their families,
women and children, waited for them out
side the gates, and watched as. anxiously
the slow flight of time. It is a sad corn
meotary upon the old law that sixty-three
of the prisoners begged to be allowed to
remain in jail until the next day, on the
plea mostly that they, had no homes to go
to.
No hall there' be a culler Representa
tion in Congress.
-The full number of Representatives in
Cong,ress from ,all the States was fixed,
nearly twenty years ago, on the motion of
the late Samuel F. Vinton of Ohio, at two
hundred and thirty-four; and at that fig
ure it stands to this day. A new State
admitted after the Apportionment under
a new Census has been .made, of course
adds an extra member—possibly two; but
the number has never (we think) exceed
ed 237 ; but this is supplemented by five
or six Delegates from Territories.
it is now proposed that the total (exclu
ding Delegates) be put up at one jump to
three hundred. This would almost nec
essarily lead to an enlargement of the Hall
in which the House meets. It is amply
large now; but sixty-odd more members
would strain its capacity.
If Congress decides to increase the
number of Representatives, we plead for
a reduction of their - pay. We consider,
$5,000 per , anunta liberal whew" the two
sessions need hardly , average five months
'each;, but,if we have to pay nearly four
hiindreti members, (of both Hou,es) we
,ought - not" to be required to pay them,
$lO,OOO each and extras
~for those ten
montlis. Increase the number, gentlenien,
if you will—we are indifferent as to that
but, 'pray, don't increase the aggregate
cost. If we.are to pay four htt-ndred of

SPECIAL NOTICES.
LET COMNION SENSE DECIDE.
What is the rational mode of procedure In
cases of general debility and nervous prostra
tion Does not reason tell us thut judicious
stimulation is required. To resort to violent
purgation in such a ease is as absurd as It would
be to bleed a starving man. Yet It Is done every
day. I r es, this St upid and unptillosophlcal prac
tice is continued In the teeth of the great fact
that physical weakness, with all the nervous
disturbances that accompany It, is more certain
ly and rapidly relieved by .flosrErrrna'S STOJE-.
Ann Ilirrints than by any other medicine at
present known. It is true that general-debility
is often attended with torpidity or irregularity
of the bowels, and that this symytom moat not
be overlooked. But while the discharge of the
waste matter of the system is expedited or reg
ulated, its vigor mast be recruited. The Bitters
tlo both. They combine aperient and an tl-bil
lions properties, with extraordinary tonic pow
er. Even while removing obstructionsfronithe
bowels, they tone and Invigorate those organs.
Through the stoma-it, upon which the great veg
etable specific acts directly, it gives a-healthy
and permanent Impetus to, every enfeebled
function. Digestion is facilitated, the faltering
circulation regulated, the blood reinforced with
a newaccesslon of the alimenturyprinciple, the,
nerves braced, antl.a.ll the dormant , powers of,
the system roused into healthy action; not spas ,
modically, as would be the case If a Mere stim
ulant were achninistered, but for a continuance.
It is In this way that such extraordinarychangds
are wrought in the condition of the feeble, enami
lated and netwous invalids. by. the usePof this,
wonderful corrective, alterative and tonic. Let

It invigorates the digestive organs and restores the
appetite. It strengthens the debilitated system. It
purifies and enriches the' bleed, and" expels from
the system the corruption which scrofula breeds on
the lungs. It di-solves the mucus or phlegm which
stops the air passages of the lungs. Its healing
principle acts upon the Irritated - surface of the
lungs and throat, penetrating to each diseased , ptirt,
relieving,painand subduing inflammation. itis the
result of years of study mat experiment, and it is
offered to the afflicted with positive assurance of its
power to cure the following diseases, if the patient
has not too long delayed a resort to the means of

SCII &NCR'S PULMONIC SYRUP
Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, will cur e Con
sumption. Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia, if taken
according to directions. They are aiLlt three to be
taken at the same time. They cleanse the stomach,
relax the liver, and put it to work ; then the appetite
becomes good; the food digests and makes good
blood; the patient begins to grow in, flesh ; the dis
eased matter ripens in the lungs, and, the patient
outgrows the disease and gets *tell. This is the
only way to entre consumption.
To these three medicines Dr. .1. H. Schenck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment of pulmonary consumption. The Pub
monie Syrup ripens the morbid matter in the lungs,
nature throws it off by inn easy expectoration, for
when the phlegm or matter is HIM., a slight conch
will throne it off, and the patient has rest and the
lungs begin to heal.
To do this, the Seaweed Tonic stud Mandrake Pills
inns t be freely used to demise the stomach and liver.
so that the Pulmonic Syrup and the food will make
good blood.
Schenck's Mandrake Pills act upon the liver, re
moving all obstructions. rek'st the duets of the gall
bladder, the bile starts nod the liver is soon
relieved ; the stools will chow what the Pills can do;
nothing lots ever been Invented except calomel (a
deadly poi -on which is very dangerous to use et- ,

Liver Complaint is one of the most prominent
Ca nog of Consumption. •

throw ond the gastric juice, to dissolve the food with
the I . 'lllllolde Syt tip. and it is made into good blood
nithOtlt fermentation or souring, in the stomach.
The stoat reason why physicians do not cure con
sumptionto.tecy try to do to much : they give
medicine to stop the cough, to stop chills, to stop
night sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing they de
range the whole digestive powers, locking up thel?e
cretions. alai eventually the patient sinks and dies.
Dr. Schenck, in his treatment, does not try to stop
a cough, night sweats, chills or fever. Recuoge the
cause, and they alit all stop of their owe accord. No
one can be cured of Consumption, Liver Complaint,
Dyspepsia, Caturrh, Canker, Ulcerated. Throat, un
less the liver and stomach are untie healthy.
If a person has consumption, of course the lungs
are in some way diseasetheither tube relas,abseesses,
bronchial irritation, pleura adhesica or the lungs
are n mass of inflammation and fast decoying. In
such cases what must be done? It is not only the
lungs that are toasting, but it is the-whole body. The
stomach and liver have lost their power to make
i
blood out of food. Now the only chance s to take
Selieuck's three medicines, which will bring up a
tone to the stomach, the patient will. begin to want
food, it will digest easily and ittolie good blood; then
the patient begins to gain in Heii,. antL as soon as
the body begins to grow,the lungs commence to heal
up, and the patient gets fleshy and well. ' This is the
only way to Mire consumption. • •
When there. is no lung disease, and only Liver
Complaint and Dyspepsia, Sehenck's Semvead'Tonto
and Mandrake Pills are sullicient without the Pu I
monic Syrup. Take the Mandrake Pills freely in all
bilious complaints; as they are perfectly' harmless.
Dr. Schenck, who bas enjoyed uninterrupted health
for many years past, anti note weighs 225 pounds,
was wasted away to a mare skeleton, in tho very last
stage of Pulmonary Consumption, his physicians
having pronounced his ease hopeless and abandoned
him to his Into. lie was cured by the aforesaid
