After using the REPORTERS item on a
Railroad to Norridgewock the Review
pertinently says;
1T takes money to build railroad, 1t
also requires concerted action on the
part of the localities interested in its con
structon. Skowhegan can i'll afford not
to have, sooner or later, direct rail CON
nection with the great country now being
opened north of us. Then why not
strive to begin to enjoy the benefits of
such a move as soon as practicable? The
columns of The Review are open to
free discussion of this question, as they
are to any other subject of moment"

Cost OF Getting the News
Mr.. Eugene N. Camp, who has collected
the statistics for America ON this point, says,
through The American, that the entire cost
OF all news used In the papers in this country
Is ssO,655, 900 per year. This Is curiously d.
yided. The special bureaus, which arc prin-
cipally located in New York, with the right
to look over the proofs every night of some
OF tho morning journals, cost s345, 900 This
is divided among 100 Of the leading provin-
cial papers. The business Of the Associated
Press now amounts to VI ,250, 900 yearly. and
that Of the United Press. foots up to $3.50,
These two sums, with the special outlay Cor
telegraph tolls outside of the organizations,
place the total to all tho papers OF 81 ,e2O, 900
for this department. In addition to this
there are to be reckoned tho special services
of professional correspondents In adjacent
towns and important centers, whose salaries
aggregate 81 100000 beside. This makes the
total cost Of all the service about q, $3.50, 900
yer annum.
In the larger cities OF the Union 1t costs
all the way from $500 to $1,000 a week for
the working up Of local districts. Mr.. Camp
reckons this yearly expense at about s15,-
100000. This is correct analysis of the en-
pense In collecting news and the proportion
in which one branch Of the service is related
to the other. There are three lines on which
this work proceeds--the gathering of news
by the local reporter, the use Of the telegraph
and thespecial Correspondent. Each method
is closely related TO Tho other. Tho state
mont shows that there has been great devel-
opment OF journalism in the matter Of news.
Every effort Is made TO got the news and one
combination only paves the way for another
in order to keep the lead in this department
Of newspaper The greater the combina-
tion, the greater the result, and the paper
that has tho news is the one that the public Is

i" COMMON SENSE AT LAsT.u

Under this title the North American
Recieo for September prints an extract
from letter written by British peer, to
a friend In Washington, 10 which be COM
ments with great freedom upon the Mills
bill and the question that constitutes the
main issue in the present political cam
paign in this country. 1t is curious to
see how this question strikes British
peer, and the following extracts will
prove very interesting reading. He says:
81 took the liberty of reading your let.
ter and the bill to number of Golden
Club men, and 1t may interest you to
learn that their unanimous verdict was
that America has come to common sense
at last.
1.-The Mills bill, on careful examina,
ton, | find to be somewhat timid and
lettering advance to free trade; but II
shows that America has turned her back
at last to the mischievous teachings OF
your Websters and Clays. whose prepos.
ferrous American system (as they called
the protective SYSTEM has SO long taxed
your native population for what? For
the benefit, really, of an inslgnidcantly
small class of American manufacturers
and a horde Of foreigners Of the Lowest
class (ehiefy Irish toho form the bulk Of
your manufacturing artisans or skilled
hands.
In expi essing his amazement at the
Commercial blindness of America" the
writer contrasts the superior wisdom of
England. ''She buys raw material wher-
ever she can buy them cheapest, and she
has often saged her adult industries, aohen
threatened By the demands for higher
cages by trades unions, By importing Ia
Dor from Belgium and other continental
countries, and thus enabling her 10 defy
the combinations and domination Of soork-
ingnen, toh0 noW seem 10 rule your indus.
trial soorld."
"And after all" asks this supercilious
free trade peer, ITO what good end do
your high wages tend /? Is the laborer or
his family any better off for piano 10 bis
room or silken fineries for bis wife and
daughtersP Do not these mock luxuries
tend to dangerous discomfort? Do not
high wages encourage these poor people
to live above their station and to look for
the real and unattainable Injuries of the
rich ?"
"Of course England will be greatly
benefited by free trade with America.
1t will stimulate our manufacturing in
terest to wonderful degree"
The closing argument of the peer is
that American manufacturers should 90
out Of business and that we should con
tent ourselves with being a purely agri.
cultural people. "Let America groao, I"
be says, land England manufa cture."
That would suit England no doubt, but
1t won't suit us. Having liberated our
selves from commercial dependence upon
Great Britain we do not propose volun.
tarily to place the humiliating yoke upon
our own necks. The quotations we have
made from this letter throw copious light
upon the question now before us for set
