IRON CROP OF 1902.
In Tlilrty-ttvo Year* Our Production
Has Grown to 15,878,354 Ton*.
Our production of pig iroii in 1902
was 17,821,307 tons of 2,240 pounds
each. It was 1,042,953 tons more than
in 1001, or an increase of nearly one
eighth. Mr. Swank says with pardona-
I le pride that in 1001 we made more
iron than Great Britain and Germany
combined, and in 1002 we made more
than those two countries with the
make of Belgium added. In 1001 Bel
gium produced 705,420 tons of pig iron.
Looking back to 1870, when England
was making more than half the world's
supply of pig iron and Just as a knowl
edge of our development under the
Morrill tariff convinced Bismarck that
protection was as advantageous for
Germany as for us, we 11 nd the produc
tion of the four countries under com
parison as follows:
Tons.
Great Ijritain 6,303,515
Germany 1,155,591
Belgium 563,234
Agfrresate 7.654.3-I0
United States 1,6ti5,179
For 1001 the figures are:
Tons.
Great Britain 7,"61,530
Germany 7,860,k! i 3
Belgium 765,41:0
16.358.143
United States 15,878,351
It will be noted that England and
Belgium are free trade, while the Unit
ed States and Germany are protection
ist countries. If any of our readers
knows a great economic authority of
the free trade persuasion it would be
of interest to get his views as to the
probable price of iron in face of the
present demand in case the production
of this country and Germany had In
creased than that of Great
Britain and Belgium.
GROVER CLEVELAND.
Democrats may as well goon voting
for Cleveland as anybody. It is pathet
ic to think of what the party would do
if Cleveland should die.—Trinesta (,I'a.)
Republican.
Colonel Bryan says there is not room
enough in the Democratic party for
both him and Mr. Cleveland. The Dem
ocratic party has been made so small
that it hasn't room in it for anything
but lights.—Philadelphia l'ress.
If the news should be published that
I-lon. (Jrover Cleveland is about to in
crease bis weight, it might bo conclud
ed that he was in politics again.—

Free Trader* ut Work.
At a dinner given in New York on
liec. 10 by tlio tariff committee of the
Iteform cluh the following resolution
was adopted: "Resolved, That it is the
sense of this meeting that at some time
during the ensuing year the tariff com
mittee of the Iteform club arrange for
a tariff conference in this city and that
representatives of free trade men from
various parts of the Union be invited
to attend such conference." Josiah
t v »uincy, formerly mayor of Boston,
said, "The trust question and the tariff
question are inseparably connected, and
the prominence which President Roose
velt has helped to give to the former
must lead the country to deal with the
Utter." Ilenry W. Lamb said that "as
a matter of practical reform policy we
are undoubtedly right in adopting some
of the gradual steps proposed, even
while confident that wider and better
measures might be taken. Those pro
posals include reciprocity, free materi
als. no protection for trusts. Only the
last affords a promise of popular sup
port."—lron and Steel Bulletin.
