SWedish , and Norway, iron is quoted in March, and it may be taken as a fairaveragestandard at the present time, at 7 cents per pound, or $lB6 60 per ton ; and) English and .Welsh bars of the same size are ; quoted at SBG per ton. Yet all these irons come in under this bill at theSaine rate of du ties ; or, in other words, iron made :in Norway, Sweden'and itussia, and other pla - ees, with charcoal as afttel, Pays on ly the same duty as that made in Eng land and Wales, with mineral' coal as a fuel ; the former worth in the market above $l6O per ton, while the hitter is worth about $BO per ton. The bill leaps at once from the cheapest make of iron to steel, while charcoal iron comes in between. The great difference iu th i e cost and value between the two kinds of iron s is partly in the use of charcoal_as a fuel, i and partly in• the differe inode-s-ol manufacture. .The Welsh a d English, its well ti 13,11 large proportio of the iron now infidel!). Our owncoun y, is made with the use of mineral co as a fuel in the blast furnace, and afterward pud dled or boiled with use of tbesanie hind of fuel, ind makes the common or ,the cheap irons; while the Russia, Norway and Swedes iron, as well es our char coal 'iron, is made, with the use of char coal as a fuel inlbe blast, furnace, and aftelward refined and made into blooms With the use of he same kind of fuel ; and makes the finer qualities of iron, used for!drawing into fine wire, plating into shovels, scythes, &c., and for the best rivets, liolts,! horseshoe nails, &e., and largelk for making boilenaandimi-, tation Russia sheet ir4n. Thegreatdif ference, as stated before, in the cost and valtWof the two, is, , first, in the fuel . nSed. The charcoal necessary for mak ' jug it toil or this - iron, coats, nOW,from t:l6 to . $2O Per tob, made* up Of, wood, less etittg, hauling; 'eciall D . 4 - , transpor tation, (.; while 'the: Cost . of , mitieral coal per ton of metal, will vary from $6 in the best locations. to about $l4 in those not so favorably Situated. For refining with charcoal, the fuel will cost not l ess than $8 per ton, while for the pudding or boiling process, the fuel will not cost over $2 per ; ton in favora ble locations. .:The labor in refining charcoal iron, costs at present about $9 per ton, while that of puddling oihoil ing the anthracite is, abottt $6 per ton. -Nor is thi:.4.all :, in the refining ,with charcoal, there is used from ,3,200 , to 3,- 360 pounds,of pig metal. to make a ton of blooms, a loss of about 30 per cent. ; while in puddling or boiling, the loss Is not more than 10 per cent. of the weight of metal. In refining, li tons or 3,366 pounds of metal; will gite 2,460 - pounds of blooms. In puddling or boiUbg, 2,240 punds of:fnet.al will yield about 2,000 pounds of, rough bar iron ; and in some instances', by the use of cinder, it is claimed that as much rough bar iron can be produced as the weight of pig metal used. ' • • Norway, Russia and Swedes Iron is nearly all importeii 1 , 11 large bars ; the flats in bars from thr e and a half up to four by one, inch ;Ithe -rounds and square, from three-fouiths up to two in.- °hes.

As -a 3 consequence, they are taking them dp and relOing their roads with either steel or the hard rails of England. The Russian fails, being mostly charcoal iron, reach this coun try in large.quantities, and are admitted as, old, iron.

On. the 29th Mr. ,Armstronwcontlnued his re ' marks, as follows] Mr. Chairman, it . has been repeatedly stated in thi discussion-.-y.esterday, by the gentle)* rk fro th Illinois • (Mr. Le - . le - ' - , san), and hi ,col ague,,o4.. Xngertoll), t and by min others, anclxeiterated this morning—th t as..the duty on pig iron has been: reduced in committee to $5 per ton, a reduction of $2 from. the , bill as reported, and $4 from, • the ,iiw, as it stands, that other forms of iron more advanced should be reduced 4nilke pro portion. I venture.to say that this re duction will not stand approved bit the deliberate jUdgmentof theliouse. The vote was-taken on Monday, whensome who had left on the adjou i pment• from ,Friday. till Monday. were detained, by the floods which interrupted traviland prevented their return.

The voteinvorci- ' Mittee,stood ; for tire amendment, 66; against it, 64 ; or 130 votes ; and 93 not . voting. Now, sir, Icannot ,believe that this injustice will be apProved, and I ven ture to predict that the duty on pig ironwill be restored to $7 per ton. Sir, Pennsylvania asks nothing she is witting to concede. She urgeliand she sustains the protective polleyeimeaute she ,believes it to be a vital necessity, not onlyto herAut, to all the interests of the country at large, The, necessity of protCcting iron is conceded, and the _. only question upon which the )commit tee hesitates, is:iythatatnount of duty on foreign iron shoUld be impoied. .This is a question of figures and facts. Were the wages of labor in f Eurape and the - United States the same, there would be no necessitiF - for-prottetion, and the question would resolve itielfintcroneof , . revenue only. I The intrinsic value of it ton - of iron, apart from labk whether in pig orbar, or any of its ultimate forms of highest value, even to needles, watch springs, 'or watch screws, worth thousands of dollars by the - pound, is only the'ycdue of the unwrought ores in- their.natiye . bed ; and every dollar, of superad4ed value is labor. Anthracite pig costs at the furnace, on a fair general average, about $3O per ton. Of this there enters into it of • Ore, 21 tons; worth in the ground. say 40 cents per ton 'n 00 Limestone, 14 tons; worth in the grourTd. say 4 cents per ton Coal, 2 tons ; worth in tho ground Bay 30 cents per ton . Lumber, oil, tallow, waste, fuel, /cc.; worth say Total ' Or, to cover all possible items which may be' reckoned as intrinsic, Bay $2 per ion. • ' Thus, in every toniof iron, at s3o',per; ton, there is not exceeding $2 of origi nal value, and-$2B of labor; and:every additional value which itj•takes-to the highest uses of which it is susceptible, is but adding labor to labor. Estimating that which enters into the production of pig iron at an average of $2 per day, there is $2B of labor or em ployment for 14 men, itt. $2 a day for'ev ery ton produced. It is too plain for argument, that ev ery ton of iron imported is therefore an importation of labor., Assumirl ore leave abroad to be equal to ore leave here, and that a day's labor ,is equally effective thtire and here, every-ton of pigitnported is .an importation_ of the labor of 'l4 Men ; and just in the pro- portion o' increased value in thc9:tigher forms of anufacture, does the impor tation of labor Increase. If this labor • were . of equal cost, we could successfully compete,with foreign production. But happily it' is Inot, so; our labor is not too dear, hut thpiris is much too cheap. Without detaining. the cototnitteel with a statement in detail Of, tkle. ges in England, Russia, Norway and Sweden, the principal Countries whose iron competes with °Ors; it- is_ within limits to say that their rate of wages is less than half that of ours for.similar labor. If, then, to': further pursue my illustration, and admitting, • for the ar gument, their rate of wages to•be half that of ours, a:ton of iron costs in the United States,. for—, Ores Labor of 14 men, $2. ' • Total . . . It would cost in Europe, for Ores, at the same rate Labor of 14 men, at el.. Or a difference per ton, arising solely from .the difference in the cost of labor, 0f...414 00 The foreign producer thus' 'starts with an advantage from lowlaborai9ne of $l4 per ton. The frelght,:...exchange ,and insurance from porta,ini Europe to New York, vary cousiderably,atilffer ent.times, bud may betaken; at, a fair 'average of $6 per,ton, to vadeh add the premium on gold .at .present. rates, 18 per cent., 14,•,tna.king, $8 14; which subtracted frOm the margin of $l4, gives hint' a net pilitle of $5 86' per ton; by which 'amount, except for 'dutieslra-. posed, hotoUld undersell the American producer, In our own raarkribi,Lon the first cost of •American iron . :at the, fur nace; and this without_ reckoning any thing for the reasonable proWof „man • ufacture.
