OF necessity, every new truth is IN
a minority of one; it is rebellion
against the existing system OF bellef;
accordingly the existing system, ever
thinking itself a finality, strives with
all the weight Of its established or
panization to crush it out. But by
the nature Of things, that must hap
pen whether the novelty be truth

Afraid Of Its Shadow.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.--Samuel J..
Randall, Chairman of the House
Committee on Appropriations, de.
mics most emphatically that it is his
intention to try to inaugurate re-
form in any Of the Departments here
in the matter of forcing more work
out of employees, or by refusing to
grant appropriations for the employ
ment of greater clerical forces. He
says it is both unjust and impolitic
to do so that there is need of more
help in the Government service, and
that as our population and the bust
ness interests CT the country increase
it Is but natural that the demand for
more Government employees should
increase. The determination of Mr..
Randall to oppose any reform or eco
nomical mOye in this direction will
disappoint and surprise a great many
of his reform brethren in the House.
for there were many Democratic
members who came here primpd for
an onslaught ofthIs character. There
will also be some Disappointment
among the Republicans, The wary
Samuel proves himself too far-seeing.
No matter what he may think ought
to be done, or what he would do if he
was in position, or his party's inter-
ests would not he jeop1idlzed, he
does not propose to do anything so
radical as to cut off the operations of
the Governments machinery. 1t is
becoming more and more apparent
every day that the party in power
in the House does not intend doing
anything this winter. 1t is afraid of
its shadow.

Mr.. Converse Speaks.

WASHINGTON, January 6.-Repre-
sentatiyes Converse, of Ohio, his just
returned from trip to that State. He
says the subject of most interest in
Ohio is the wool tariff; that mass
meetings and conventions are being
held all over the State in behalf of a
restoration of the tariff.
"That's what our people most want, ,
continued Mr.. Converse. "There are
fnrty-siX thousand wool growers in
the State, and they can control its
politics. People may talk as they
please, but it was the wool interest
that carried the State for us last year,
and if we do them justice they will
help us carry it again.
Mr.. Converse says the Democrats
will have the hardest struggle next
year they have ever fought, and with
the chances against them, unless they
abandon free trade" mo party
can succeed in this country noW," he
continued, "on a free trade platform.
Another generation may he educated
up TO it, but now it Is death to any
party. There are four millions of peo-
pie interested either directly or indi-
rectly in manufactures, and they will
not tolerate free trade. The laboring
classes are organized. and will go
against US solidly If we declare for
free trade. Why, my district has four
thousand Democratic majority. and
yet no Democratic free trader can be
elected in it. The platform adopted
by the Ohio Convention last year suits
US, and il the National Convention
will plant itself upon that. we can
win but If we attempt to raise a free
trade issue it will beat us"

An Iron Age diagram shows the
fluctuations in iron and steel prices
since 1872. Steel rails opened in 1879
at sos ton, went off dollar almost
at once, mounted more rapidly, and
though they dropped back little in
the second half of the year, closed at
Sl2l. In March of 1873 they touched
their highest point, fiuctuated until
the panic mon h of that panic year.
and then began the rapid downward
turn which brought steel rails to SIC
by the close of 1874, except about two
dollars in the early part of 1876 three
was no recovery whatever until 1878,
when the price stopped at Sal. went
to s43 and so on, though half the
next year, when the boom of 1879 be-
gan. Before 1879 closed $40 had been
reached, and early In 1880, $50,
Within the next quarter there was a
drop of $50 on the ton. The price has
gone on falling with some slight tens
porary recoveries, embracing decline
of $50 in 1882, until 1888, closed at $50
Il ton. The diagram does not go so
low as the lalest quotations, S34, with
reported sales at 80. 80.
1t appears, therefore, that within
the decade just closed steel rails have
dropped from S121 to S32.50-neariy
800 ton. But it is not likely that
many large orders could he placed at
S32 %. If we take S54 rs the present
price, ten years have knorked S8S off
the price of steel rails. Free traders
may not be willing to admit that pro-
lection has contributed III any way 10
this remarkable reduction in price,
but they must admit that protection
has not made steel rails ex0rbitantIy
high. Under thethe policy ofprotec-
ton we look to see steel rails go
something higher, to the great advan.
tage of American labor, but the prices
of ten years ago have gone never
more to RETURN Wheeling L1telli-
