The SoUTH-END ASSISTANT JUDoEsHI

Editor Register AS the date of the
county convention approaches. it is time
that candidates for the several nomina-
tions were placed before the people !;
therefore we would respectfully suggest
the name of ID. +. Gibson of Salisbury
as in every way suitable AID fit man
for assistant Judge for the "South end.'
We do not propose to eulogize him at
length, for it is unnecessary; suffice to
say, that he has been justice of the peace
for twenty years and he has had quite a
wide experience in legal matters. He is
an earnest Republican. On all the great
questions of public interest he is always
found on the right side. In the dark
days of 81 he went to the front and
served gallantly and honorably for the
preservation of the Union. He is man
of experience, clear-headed and of sound
judgment. The Republicans of Addison
county could certainly do no better than
to nominate and elect him. Y.

THE STEEL RAIL QUESTION.

Editor Register Il see that in the last
number of your paper you copied an
article by DR.. Hamlin. late president of
our college, ,,frOm The Florida Daily Hotel
News, in which he claims high war taxes
as the cause of the heavy decline ia the
price of steel rails. Has. the doctor been
sleeping the last 80 years that he does
not know that the inventive genus of the
world has revolutionized the manufac-
ture of steel? This article. coming from
agentleman of DR.. Hamlin's acknowledge
ed intelligence and position in this
community, will be misleading and will
have an influence for evil to any one not
knowing the facts on this subject. The
statement in his article respecting the fall
of prices of steel rails cannot be denied !;
but he errs grossly in assuming the cause
of this decline in prices to be high war
taxes, or protection. Prior to the inyen-
tion,ti 1855, of the Bessemer process
for the manufacture of pig iron directly
into steel, the price of steel in England
ing to quality. The price varied but
little from this in all the countries
where steel was manufactured, the
average selling price being about 5000
per ton (see Appleton's Cyclopedia,
edition of 1900. By utilizing the Besse-
mer process, with the many improvements
added, it is now possible to manufacture
steel rails ready for use at nearly the
cost of pig iron, say from Sl2 to Sl5 per
ton, not alone in tax-ridden America but
in free trade England as well; in fact in
any country where this process is known
and used. The process is a simple one.
Iron ore is melted in furnace, run from
the furnace into converter, from the
converter into ingots, the ingots between
the rolls into rails before cooling, the
rails then passing into a receptacle to
cool, the heat from the cooling rails being
utilized to assist in melting the crude ore
ready for the next charge. This simple
method has given us cheap steel rails.
How is 1t possible by any correct process
of reasoning to ascribe the cause of this
immense decline in the price of steel rails
to high war taxes? If the outside world

SHAMEFUlLY NEGLIGENT.

The men who control the legislation of
he United States having to do with our
oreign commerce are shamefully negli-
ent of their opportunities. That great
nd fertile country, the river Plate region
SfiSouth America, ought to be filled with
american traders, its markets supplied
rom the workshops of the United States
nd our abundant capital employed in
developing the vast resources of the
ountry. But, instead, England and
ther European nations,are found to have
}cquired strong footholds there, while
We sit still and do comparatively little.
Ir. Edward A. Hopkins, a son of the late
Bishop Hopkins of this State, has lived
II South America for years and is
thoroughly familiar with the situatio
bf affairs there. In recent lecture be-
ore the New Y ork chamber of commerce
1r. Hopkins stated that the imports of
he Argentine Republic have increased
rom $4,000 900 in 1877 to 10000, 900,
md its exports from S44, 769,994 to $780,
f43 ,5S5. SIT has 4, 400 miles of railways,
controlled by the English, who receive
dividends ranging from 10 to II per cent.
The bonds of the roads pay from 34 to
l-2 per cent. The banks are controlled
by the Spanish, Italians and the English,
ind the average dividends paid by them
mount to 22 per cent. Although the
United States are the nearest neighbors
(f the Argentine Republic only O.l9
ber cent. of the business houses of
|3uenos Ayres are American. OF the
,427 sailing vessels that visited that port
ia 1886, only 225 went from the United
ftates, and only sixty four of those sail
ing under the American flag. There are
lo steamers at all sailing between the
| wo countries. The river traffic is carri-
fd on by English steamers. All the pub
ic works are carried on by English con-
tractors. Almost every commercial
bower in Europe has larger transactions
with the Plate than we have.'
The remedy is plain and simple. If this
government would follow the example
bf foreign nations and subsidize steam
Fhip lines we might obtain share Of a
|rade that is fairly ours. The reason we
20 not SO act is that every time subsidy

The BURLINGTON SAVINGS BANK

A safe place to deposit money is the
old Burlington Savings bank. Its rate OF
interest, with exemption from taxation
on sums of $500 or less, is equivalent in
most towns to over 81 per cent. Mr.. {.
f. Ward has been its treasurer for the
past 20 years, and for that rugged homes
ty that begets confidence, no financer in
the State has better record. The con-
servative management of the bank is
shown by the fact that its holdings of
government bonds are more than double
the amount held by all the other savings
banks and trust companies in the State
put together. 1t does large business in
Addison county, and if you have depos-
it to make of from 81 to $1,000 go to Coun-
ty Clerk Rufus Wainwright, who will tell
you more about the institution.
