From gentleman who dropped into our Office
Yesterday TO hand us the advertisement in another
column, VIC learned the following facts, which are
Of deem interest in view of the Tariff controversy


These works are located at Boonion. Morris
Co. N j. about eight miles from Morls'own'
They are owned by u company of citizens pos
sessing enterprise, capital and skill, who hare run
them ten or twelve vea.s, and have thus far made
but one dividend. This is tho class who make
such vast wealth by manufacturing But they
have brighter prospects now, and are working
vigorously, in the hope Of fair return for their
investment.


These Works now employ directly from 100 TO
$50 men, and turn out ten or fifteen tons of Iron
per day. They make excellent qualities of Iron
Hoop, Sheet, Rod, &c.-and procure Pig from
various quarters to do it with. They consume
from six 10 eight thousand tons of Pennsylvania
Anthracite Coal per annum' They doubtless
create employment, as cGlliers, eamsters, miners,
&c. for four times the number Of men actually
omployod in tho Works, bceido furnishing mar
kct at average City prices, for large amount OF
Provisions, Fruits, Groceries, &c. nc. They
have new ready market for all the Iron they can
lum out, at rcmunerating price, which will
doubtless be extended if the Protective policy is
sustained But they will not require higher pfI-
ccs on the contrary, the managers arc confident
that, under steady and efficient Tariff, they will
bc able to make Iron cheaper and dcheapcr.-And,
by the way, we hear today that the great Iron
Works in Columbia Co. Pa are now fitting up to
go thoroughly into the production Of Railroad
Iron, and expect TO afford it next season for S42
per ton. (Hi,herto we have bought of Europe,
and the cost here has been $50 to $40 per ton,
even when the Tariff was down. We have not
adoubt that, If the Tariff is just let alone, we shall
have, within three years, American Rails ready 10
lay down not only cheaper than they ever have
been, but cheaper than they ever could be under
a low Revenue Tariff-possibly not right here on
the coast, but certainly on the average Of the
whole Country.


Messrs Sherman Atwater s. Co. 80 Broad-st.
are the Agents Of these Works in our City.
