The great reason, how- j lever, for the paralytic condition of ■ the iron market is that the world lias j ] given up building railroads for the j ] present, and until there is a reaction , in that direction furnaces will die out i and be cold, labor and capital will re- I main idle, and iron will continue to j (be a drug. Indeed, it appears as if 1 we had more iron than we have need I j of. The nation seems underlaid With ! iron and coal in illimitable quanti-! j tics, and as wood for fuel and domes -1 tic manufactures is gradually being wasted and used up, wiiy is it, not pos sible to substitute iron in its place for a very large majority of articles of \ | household t'mnitnreV These nifty be made tu Ornamental, as light, as per- I feet in their utility iu every way, and, i as a matter of comparative cost, they I ought to establish an average of 25 to 33 percent, less iu price.

Hut If ron I nrrciie} . New Y’ork, July B.— The Arcadian to-day publishes an editorial by Gen. Butler entitled: A National Currency -tho Democratic Idea. He contrasts the American with the English sys tem, and says at present there is no more extensive commercial ruin than that which the business of England is now under. The central idea of those who insist on greenback cur rency, is that it shall be made con vertible, and reconvertible, into Gov ernment bonds, at low rates of inter est. At a little more than three per cent interest tho avorage gold dol lar of the world is at presont invested. Now, if wo make our greenbacks convertible at tho pleas- uro of holders into gold, hearing bonds at 3.(15 per cent, interest, our dollar is equal in value for invest ment to the gold dollar of the world, and tho amount of cur rency used in tho country will at once regulato itself by tlic law of sup ply and demand. Tho writer oppo ses contraction of values witli a view to resumption of specie payments, as bordering on insanity and as a snare and a delusion. Property of ovory kind inis depreciated 25 to 33 l*cr cent., until all business is crip pled, all enterprise stoppod, and one million men and women idle. While policy contraction lust nobody will begin new enterprise. All property except investments in national, mu nicipal or private indebtedness de preciates. Upon the question of solving the problem of how long this will last, the Ohio Democrats have given no uncertain sound. Tho finan cial question will be the leading question in future elections.

New Revised Edition. Entirely rewritten by the ahleet wrltere on every subject. Printed from new type, and lUus trated with Several Thousand Engraving, and Maps. The work originally published under the title of Thk Nkw American Cxclopjcdia wrb com pleted iu 1863, ainoe which time tho wide circula tion which it haa attained iu all parts of tho United HUites, and the signal developments which have taken place In every branch of science, lit erature and art, have induced the editors and publishers to submit itio an exact and thorough revision, and to issue anew odition entitled The American Oyclowujia. Within tho last ten years the progress of dis covery in every department of knowledge has made anew work of reference an imperative want. , . . Tho movement of political affairs has kept pace with the discoveries of seieuco, and their iruitlu application to the industrial and useful arts and m convenience and refinement of social life. Great wars and consequent revolutions have oc curred, involving national changes of peculiar moment. The civil war of our own country, which was at its height when the last volume ot the old work appeared, has happily been ended, and anew course of commercial and industrial activity has been commenced. Largo accessions to oux geographical know! edge have been made by tho indefatigable ex plorers of Africa. Tho great political revolutions of the last de cade, with tho natural result of the lapse of time, have brought into public view a multitude of new men, whoso names aro in every one’s mouth, and of whoßo lives overy one is curious to know the particulars. Great battles have been fought and important sieges maintained, of which tho de tails are as yet preserved only in the newspapers or iu the transient publications of the day, but which ought now to take their place in perma nent and authentic history. iu preparing the present edition for the preen, it hue accordingly been the aim of the editora to bring down the information to the latest possi* bio dates, and to fnruißh an oceurato account of tho most recent discoveries in science, of every irosh production in literature, and of the newest inventions iu tho practical arts, as well as to give a succinct and original record of the progress of political and historical events. The work has boon begun after long and care* ful preliminary labor, and with the most ample resources for carrying it on to a successful term ination. , , . . None of tho original stereotypo platea have been used, but every page has been printed on new type, forming in fact anew Cyclopedia, with tho same plan and compass as its predecessor, but with a fur greater pecuniary expenditure, and with such improvement* in it# composition as have been suggested by longer experience and enlarged knowledge. ... . , .. The illustrations which aro introduced for the first tlmo in the present edition Lave been added not for tho sake of pictorial effect, but to give greater lucidity and force to the explanations iu the text. They embrace all branches of science and of natural history, and depict the most flunous and remarkable features of scenery, architecture and art, as wcU as the various pro cesses of mechanics and manufactures. Although intended for instruction rather thau embeliahment, no pains have been spared to in sure their artistic excellence; the cost of their execution is enormous, and it is believed they will find a welcome reception as an admirable feature of tho Oyclopwdla, and worthy of its high character. This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable on delivery of each volume. It will be completed in sixteen largo octavo volumes, each containing about 800 pages, fully illustrated with several thousand Wood Engravings, and with numerous colored Lithographic Maps.
