ILIIIIOFACTURE OF PIG IRON This first step In the most important of our mnitactiuing industries la rapidly increasing, haring doubled since 1861. In that year the total' product of pie Iron was 930,000 tons; in IMO It was about 1,900,000 tons. This Is very far from be. log a local or ',maenad Interest, but is national more than any other except agriculture. In fifteen States sixty-five furnaces have been erected within the last eighteen. months, forty-six of which were in States outside of Pennsylvania, and nineteen In Pennsylvania. Fifty eight more are In contemplation, the most of which are in the West. Yet to read what Is written and widely circulated by the advocates of free trade, one would be led to suppose that this is almost exeha skyey a Pennsylvania interest; that the lordly proprietors of this State had a monopoly In this business, and that the good people of all the other States are sorely oppressed Watt few Pennsylvania iron masters may be protected against foreign competition. While. It is true that more iron is made In Pennsylvania than in any other single State, it is not true that It Is richer In ore, or even in coal, than any other. At least half a dozen States are richer In ore than t his, among which are Michigan and Misaouri, and probably Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee and Alabama. "Slavery, until recently, repressed the energies of all these'Buttes except,. one; but now that that incubus is removed, we may look fer a great and rapid advancement in this Interest in allot them, especially in the Virginias, which, like Pennsylvania, are rich in both ore and cosh Ken who are still is the prime of life remember the time when no iron was smelted In this country with mineral coal. About 1819 a furnace was built on Bear Creek, near the Allegheny river, just be low Parker's Leading, to operate with A Kr. Lewis, an intelligent Eng- Adman, wss the manager. It was what is called a hill stack. The ore and coal were both abundant and good. Bat It proved a failure; and it was not until the Brady's Bend Iron works, (then called "The Geed Western,"), were established, some Aileen years' after wards, that
