The Democratic party has bravely and boldly made many assaults upon the bulwarks of high protection, and temporary defeat lists but served to make them more determined in their attacks. Tho carelessness that comes from fancied security in greater numbers has before this brought defeat to the Republican foo, and this same carelessness will enable the Democrats to carry the fight into the very heart of the Republican citadel this fall. The secret of Democratic success in the past has been organization. On the other hand, tho want of organization has resulted in an apparent overwhelming victory for the high tax party during recent years. There-is no excuse for lukewannness this year.

THE IRON TRADE. The general features of the iron market show very little change from last week, although as compared with a mouth or two ago the present condition of ihe trade ia far more satisfactory, especially as regards the volume of business. Pig iron retains its firmness in a manner that encourages the urnacemen to look for better prices than are now being realized. In some instances holders are higher in their views, but consumers seem to have little difficulty in securing what material they require at the old rates. With tho backbone of the strike in the Connellsville coke region practically broken, the output of pig iron in the West is increasing, and the tone of the market for Bessemer iron is weak urns and grapes are abundant and verv cheat) compared tormer years.
