paper, each roll four miles long. l
watched at n of the presses the
four-mile run of one of these rolls,
and it was striking to see how quick
ly it was done.
Much of the mechanical interest of
the Times centers On its type depart
ment. I brought away with me some
type made under my eye in the foun-
dry room. But that is only the be-
ginning Of the wonder. Following this
type into another department you see
it set by machinery. All publishers
are familiar with the history of the
long effort of Mr.. Walter in this direc-
ton. Here is the result:
One-half of the Tines every night is
set by machinery. One machine does
the work Of six or eight skilled com
positors. 1t cannot correct, however,
and here is its weak point, or the
whole paper would be set with it.
As it is, the work is about divided.
Doubtful copy and all revisions are
done by hand-the steady regular
work by machinery.
A young man sits before what looks
like a piano-board, with four or FIVE
banks of keys all lettered. He plays
on these keys with the four fingers of
each hand rapidly, and the type are
as rapidly shifted into a kind of mi
mute steel galley, the exact width of
the body Of a type. There is no
system of lingering, as with piano
music, onlythepawsAy like lightning.
The distributing machine Just re-
verses the process of the setting in
strument, and in the last stage each
letter of the alphabetisrapidl shunted
off on to its separate side track, where
they stand like long trains of freight
cars in the yard of a colossal depot.
1t is a wonderful machine, but there
are others I think now surely ap-
preaching, Of much more interest and
Importance to newspaper proprietors.
The last permanent investment of
the Times has been the manufacture
of its own light on the electric system,
using carbon points. The cost for
the plant of this has been very great,
but it is SO far successful, and the cost
of producing the lights very moderate.
The entire building is now lighted
by sixteen electric lights, each lightof
from 800 to 1000 candles power-far
more than is needed. Sixteen wires
each starting directly from a bat
tery-are used to distribute the light,
aud the battery is worked from a
solid and powerful steam engine.
This engine had to be built expressly
for the electric battery, and its power
cannot be used for any other purpose;
the light would ave- and be unstea-
dy. Quite thick porcelain globes are
used to temper the fierce power of
the light, and the dark shadows are in
part corrected by reflection from
white cowls. I see no reason why
the new Edison light should not be
attached to this plan, if desirable.
The electric light manufacture has
been a striking advertisement for the
Times, but sofar it is not an economy.
They have nor light than they need
or want to have, and the cost of the
plant is the capital Of a gas company
mot a legitimate expense of a news

he very readily gave his ideas, which we
give below: r
ut is really a surprise to me that any
man interested in the manufacture oil iron
or glass can oppose the policy Of the Re.
publican party 10 regard to'the tariff. !
believe ina tariff for protection; a tariff
that will protect American labor. ! am
not one OF those who believe in too high
tariff. believe that as American pro.
ducts increase in excellence and quantity
that the tariff should be 80 arranged as
to be adaptable to the circumstances.
This would be protection to the work.
ingmen, which should be the first consld.
GRAFTON with every patriotic American.
believe that such is, and such will be, thu
progress OF American manufactures that
they will be forced to find an outlet and
OF course the tendency will be to Europe,
and when that time arrives then free trade
will be in order. Those, in brief, are nv
ideas on the subject. ~ sT"'t W n
i believe the policy and course Of the
Leaders Of the Demoprgtio party in their
legislation has been to shut their ewes
to the Interests Of American laborers and
American industry. The past of the
party has been non.protective and the
future promises nothing to the contrary.
