FREE TRADE ADMISSIONS.
Facts Versus Theories.
Tie following ally written and well-timed
article is from the Philadelphia North
American viz :
It is not often that leading journals with
free trade leanings deal in statements which
we can Heartily commenu. liiey comraon-
Jv ueal largely m hypothesis and enigmas,
and it givcs us pleasure to chronicle one ut
terance that relates to facts, which we find
in the New York Times. That journal, in
the course of some remarks upon the little
tariff bill in the House, candidly admits that,
whatever popular feeling there may be as re
jprJi the protective features of the tariff is
fivor.-ible rather than averse to protection.
It opines that, so far as the people are con
cernecl, they are inclined to attribute the de
pression of the iron trade to the reduction
,,f 1872, and that this feeling is far more po
tent than any elaborate argument. We as
Mime that this is true, hut cannot find in it
;iny ground to reproach the people therefor.

per is a fact. All the theorizing: in the
work! cannot satisfy it or drive it away.
And the same thing is true as regards many
questions in political economy. Especially
y it true as regards protection. It is a well
knuwn fact that reasonable discrimination
in favor of home enterprise multiplies and
diversifies industry, quickens trade and adds
t.) the general prosperity. One fact of this
kind ought to have more weight than vol
umes of argument put forth to prove that
the fact does not exist, or if it exists that it
is the result of some unknown or vairuelv
known operation of the laws of trade The
practice which prevails of rejecting the ob
vious reason of things and accounting for
them by theories which have filled the World
with the din of eontroverssy is not com
mendable, no matter who may adopt it.

Economising the Heat cf tha Boby.

The trouble is the result of an ice jam at
Kinkora, a point eight cr ten miles below
Between Trenton and Kinkora there is a
vast accumulation of ice, the aggregate of
fifty miles above. A warm rain or south
wind, if occurring suddenly; might cause
great damage to shipping farther down the
river. But the worst barricade now exist
ing oh the Delaware is at Port Jervis. New
York. On Wednesday several civil en
gineers visited the scene with the purpose
of trying to blast with dynamite powder a
channel through the great glacier. They
drilled a hole through to the bottom of the
river-bed to ascertain the thickness of the
ice, and reached water at a depth of eight
feet below the surface. After traversing
about a foot of water the drill again encoun
tered solid ice, which continued twelve feet,
to the bottom of the stream bed. A few
experiments were tried in blasting, but it
was soon discovered that there was not
sufficient water in the river to carry awav
even a small quantity ot the loosened sub
stance. Below the river is still frozen to
a thickness of about four feet, and the cor
cannot move until the ice breaks up. What

little water there is passing now runs be
tween the two layers of ice in a channe
about one foot deep by twenty wide. The
Pennsylvania bank of the river is lnjjh an
rocky, in many places rising almost pernen
dicularly from the water's edge to an eleva
tion ot 1,000 or more feet. The New Yor
tshore is low, and of an unsubstantial forma
tion, which is not fitted to withstand the
severe pressure now resting upon it. Thi
low bank extends from a few mdes below
Port Jervis to a distance of five or six miles
above, where it gradually slopes upward
until it towers to a height equal to that
reached by the 1'ennsylvania bank. The
unuge oi me jrie i van way, wnere it crosses
from ew York to Pennsylvania, is situated
about twenty feet from the head of the
orge, and in this position is safe for the
present. Should another field of ice come
down, both bridges must give way. Just

The cold wave that visited the country
made a special visit to the West. A Mon
tana paper gives a record of the ther
momcter during a portion of the month.
The register for one week showed all the
way from thirt' to fifty-six degrees below
zero, going far below the bottom figures of
thermometers generally, and making it
necessary to have special ones arranged for
the purpose. Ordinary thermometers were
frozen up. Numbers of people were frozen
to death.

side by side as far as Port Jervis, and on
the bank of the canal are several manu

the river overflows its banks it will be at
this point, and the flood pouring iuto the
canal wnl fouow its sourse, sweeping away
me uciories and houses of the operatives
and after washing across the three or four
miles of railroad which intervene, wil
overflow Oermantowu and Port Jervis
Should this occur, property to the amount
of many millions of dollars wiil be swept
away. The car shops of the Erie Railroad
are in imminent danger. There is a eore
at Ilolbert's Bend and avother at Ten-Mile
River, above here. At Calllcoon, 4S miles
up the Delaware from Port Jervis, 1G miles
of ice are packed into' about two miles space.
It is held in place by Callrcoon Island, and
is not likely to break unless a thaw or warm
rain occurs. In 1S57 Cochecton, which is
situated below Caiiicoon, was" almost en
tirely destroyed by a flood resulting from
accumulations cf ice similar to those alon
the Delaware now. The river for some dis
tance above Ilolbert's Bend is fed by a lare
number of usually shallow tributaries, which
swell in to roaring torrents in a short time
after every thaw, however slight. There
is now an accumulation of Bnow to the
depth of three, feet in the woods surround
ing these rtreams. A steady thaw of twelve
hours duration, or a warm rain, would
bring down a freshet which would start in
its sweep all the gorges above, and the
whole mass would come down with over
whelming force upon the glacier in front
of Port Jervis. By the kindness of Mr.
Reddington,thc Delaware House has been
kept open to the sufferers by the flood,
about thirt3'-three of whom arc there. The
appearance of the river between Trenton
and Kinkora is constantly changing. A
smooth surface is converted in an hour to
rough crags and peaks, the result of the
force of the water underneath acting on the
immense blocks- Nothing effectual has
been done in the way of starting a break
in the blockade. Apprehensions for the
safety of the new Delaware bridge are en
tertained. On Thursday a Philadelphia
ice boat made a trip up the river as far as
1'Jorence, but as soon as she returned the
channel closed again and was eoon as much
choked up as before. No change in the
ptate of affairs at Port Jervis had occurred
up to Saturday.
