4 fair sample Of what the high protec-
tive tariff is doing for this country is exem-
plified in the history of steel rails. So
eninently respectable paper as the Spring
field, Mass, Republican, published the
following:
In the lasl ten years about one third of
the railroad track in the United States, or
80, $40 miles out of liz, 676 main mile and
siding, has been laid with steel rails. Over
$4,000 miles of track still remain to be re-
laid in steel sooner or later, or, if sidings,
not often provided with stell rails, be ex-
cluded, about &C, 900 miles of main line.
This win take on the average 100 tons to
the mile: in all, say 60,000,000 tons of
steel rails. The substitution of steel rails.
which has already taken place, has been
carried on in the lastzdecade, and as the
change is now going on at the rate of
about 100000 tons year, it will be prac-
tically completed in five or six years.
During that time, unless the tariff is re-
vised the price of every ton of the 6,O00.-
900 or 1000 600 tons which will be needed
for old and new roads viii be influenced
by duty of $28 per ton, over 100 per
cent ad yalorem and relatively six times
heavier than any one supposed the duty
would be when it was levied ten years ago.
The trade has changed, the manufacture
has altered, the price has dropped to one
fifth, but the duty has remained what it
was. 1t does not yield much revenue.
Not many articles of daily use and neees-
sity can stand a duty of 100 per cent.
The duty collected in the fiscal year 1880
on street rails was only 81, 47S, 658,
about one per cent. of the revenue
collected from customs; but the increased
price which home manufactures were ena-
bled to charge in consequence of the duty
at the outside was $2S, 600, 900 in the calen
dar year 1880, at the least it was not un
der $15, 600 600, and this is not one pei
cent but twenty five per cent on the sun
paid by railroads on steel rails of home
manufacture. Every dollar of this tax il
finally paid by the food and the passengers
the manufactures and the merchandise
which roll over these rails. To put it diff
ferently and in round numbers, the railroads
of the United States took from ], 600, 900 tc
1,240, 600 tons or steel rails in 1880, and
they paid for them from goo, 100000 to
$50, 600, 600, and from one-fourth to one
fifth of this payment was due to a customs
duty which would never be voted now,
and which would never have been voted il
steel rails had not been six times theil
present price in the markets of the world

THE GREAT BANKS OF LONDON.

Mr. William Abbot. twice year analyses
the condition of the ten joint-stock banks
in London. His last set of tables up to
July /, which are just published, show an
increase in their current and deposit ac-
counts of about 1876, 900, 900 from January
to that date In this gain the London and
Westminster stood first, the Union next
and then the London and County. During
the same time there was a diminution in
the acceptances, partly applicable on the
theory of increasing telegraphic transfers.
One bank was found to have reduced its
acceptance account by S3.0oo,000 in June
from last December, The paid up capital
of these ten banks is about $40 900, 000
with a reserve of $20,0000 900. They re
port their half yearly expenses at about
80, 35O, 600 and their total net profits at
about So, TAO, 000-and Eof these profits

The republican papers seeing the hope
lessness of securing the next president
from their own party are looking among
prominent democrats for suitable nom
inee. They appear to think that theil
past victory with Arthur as the vice presi
dent and now probable chief magistrate
was enough to kill any party or organiza
ton, making any pretense to reform OF
responsibility.
The Chicago Journal thus sums up the
cituation:
The democracy are beginning to name
their candidates for the presidential race OF
1884 The Tilden club, of Pittsburgh,
which is manipulated by the Randall Barr
faction of Pennsylvania Democrats, has
named Tilden. The club represents the
sage of Gramercy Park as in excellent
health and spirits, and believes the g old
man would make gallant race. Besides
his -fbar1" has been refilled since the con-
test of 1876, and is now reported to be al
most bursting its hoops
Mr. Samuel J. Randall, late speaker of
the House of Representatives, and a can
didate for the democratic nomination for
Vice President, is said TO be manipulating
the democratic machine in Pennsylvania
in order to start a Tilden boom. If the
move In favor of Tilden should be success
full, the Pennsylvania machine will push
Randall for Vice President, Samuel j.
Tilden of New York, and Samuel j. Rand
all, of Pennsylvania, would make strong
team

wrLLIAn PENN,s wAMPUM BELT

The Rev Charles Journeycake, chief of
the Delawares has in his possession the
original wampum belt given by William
Penn to the Indians under the famous elm
tree on the banks of the Susquehanna.
near where Philadelphia now stands Will
liam Penn was no doubt an excellent man.
His treatment of Indians was so kind that
it has ilnmortalized his name. He is look
ed upon as saint almost in comparison
with those who have succeeded him by
those who do act know the trick he played
to get deed from the Indians to that
beautiful valley, the site of the largest
manufacturing city in America. 1t was
next to Queen Didos cutting the bullock's
hide In strips to surround the land she
once purchased.
For little strand water, few looking
glasses, fire tongue, fish hooks, etc, he paid
for all the land between the rivers, and as
far west as man can ride horse in two
days-an original survey without doubt.

Ex-President Woolsey of Yale in an in
terview expresses himself as follows anent
the corruption of public and private men.
The question was propounded to him:
DO you think there is more corruption
in the country now than there was in the
early days of the republic?" To which he
replied: Il do, both among public men
and private citizens This bribery of rep
resentatives of the people, either by the
direct use of money or by the use of patron
age, has been practiced to an alarming ex-
tent, and the purchase of votes is great
evil. Bribery is as well known as mems
faces, and conviction of the offenders is
almost as hard as it is to change mems
faces. Prosperity has brought facilities
for corruption which were unknown in the
earlier times. There are ten men rich
enoug at once to be able and have an OBJ
ject to offer brides now, where there was
but one twenty years Eago. Ignorance is a
great aid to corruption.

THE HISTORIAN BANCROFT
From a Newport letter.

The venerable historian is occupying his
cosy but unpretentious cottage on Bancroft
avenue and the cliffs, where, at stated
hours, he is busy debating his life work,
Wis: the history of the United States, to a
pair of expert photographers, who report
for duty every morning at eight O'Clock.
Mr.. Bancroft personally revises all his
work, in which he takes great interest.
The new volumes Sare on the eve of publ
cation, which viii bring the work down to
the close of Washington's administration.
The authors intent is to carry the histosy
up to the civil war and, as he is now
eighty one years of age, he must expect to
reach a ripe old age.

Guiteau's attack upon the guard of ths
prison in which he is located may result il
second Indictment against him for as
sault. In case the president RECEIVERS,
which is highly improbable, and Guiteau
receives the full punishment for his as
sault. his confinement win only last eight
years. If the second indictment for as
sault upon the guard of the city prison is
made good, his sentence at penitentiary
can be extended perhaps another eight
years.
In case the president dies the defence
may attempt to prove that death was not
caused by the wound but by other agen-
cies. The kilograms now announce that
the wound is improving and healing rap
idly.

they saw q hollow log in the yard
One of them put in her little hand to
see If there were any eggs, but quickly
