some way all the thrilling scenes through

his sight in that battle, was with his child

THE RAILROAD AND THE TARIFF.
What the Transportation Accounts Ofthe New
York Central show.

York Central show.
New York Mail and Express
The manner in which the railroad business
has increased under a protective tariff has q
very significant bearing upon the discussion in
volved 10 this campaign. The years earnings
of the New YORK. Central, for example. increased
from So, 363, 800 in 1870 TO So, 291 90 in 1887.
AT the same time the profits decreased from
S7.67 per share to s.. &c. The charge for passen-
ger service also decreased. IL is still more in
teIesting and profitable TO exsmiue the manner
in which the business of carrying various arti-
Giles mas grown since 1865. In that year the
products of the forest moved by the Central
amounted TO 90. 09S tons; in 1873 this increased
to 425. lis tons; in 1880 it was 570,4l0; in 1886 it
was l,OJ0,02l and In 1887 it was l,236, S47.
During the same time the tonnage
of the products of animals moved by
the road has increased from 523.6 3S to sS3, 764;
Of vegetable food from $50. 400 to $3.50. 3lS; of
other agricultural productions from rs. III to
$40, AZ; OF manufactures from LA. 800 to 2. 105,-
$50; of merchandise from SAG, l25 to lisa, 975: Of
other articles from 1913. CSC to 1850. 923. How
enormous this is may be seen from the totals.
10 1860 the total tonnage moved by the road
was ], 767, 059. and in 1887 it reached the surpris-
ing amount of Ia, GIG. 954.
This is a demonstration of hcw remark able
has been the growth of business under the pro-
tective system. Not only did the products of
manufactures greatly increase, but every kind
OF products increased in proportion. The Dusi-
ness of manufacturing evidently did not grow
faster or flourish more than that of the farmer.
thN lumberman or the merchant. The trans
portation accounts Of the New York Central
railroad show that protection showered it's bless
ings on every hand. and that the manufactures
of the country were not exclusively built up by
the tariff, but that the whole range of industries
were fostered and encouraged.
At the same time, and as an answer TO the
charge that protection increases the expenses
of life. these accounts show that the earning Of
the road per mile and the expenses Per mile of
handling this great business have decreased. In
1865 the earnings per ton per mile were 3.45
cents; in 1887 the were rs of a cent. In 1865
the expense OF moving a ton q mile was 253S
cents; in 1887 it was sc OF a cent.
Here Is q capital argument for protection
which is seldom used. These figures show the
farmer that, under the present system, he is do
ing a larger business at a smaller cost. More
over, there is no country in the world where the
cost ia so little

VALUE OF THE TARIFF TO FARMERS.
Value of the PerishabIe ana N~on-Exporiable
Products Of the Farms Over $3.50, 0OU.OO

The 70 flowing letter to ex-Go vernon Porter,
referred to in several of his late speeches in the
canvass, is an important contribution 10 the
present campaign:
IS~DIANAPoLIs, Sept. 90. 1888.
Hon. Albert q Porter, indianapolis, Ind:
Dear Sir-You will, perhaps. remember that
while chief of the Indiana Bureau of Statistics,
L said TO you that | was gathering data relating
TO the perishable. and, therefore, non-exportaols
products OF the farms and gardens of the United
States. ana recently | promised to give you the
facts that / had gathered in the past few years
relating TO this subject 1 have long delayed
the hhal compilations in order TO verify them
at several points from time to time. as l could
do so. l may say that l was led to this subject
by an examination of the influence Oh our
varied industries on agricultural develop
ment, and the rapid growth of our home mar,
kets. until only a small surplus Is marketed
abroad,
For convenience I took the trade or the cities of
indianapolis, Cincinnati, Chicago and ST. Louis,
and four Western cities of 10, 000 and upward
inhabitants. as a basis for my investigation. L
obtained the average yearly trade In perlsnaoio
products from the commission houses IN the
large cities, and from the dealers aud markets.
In the smaller ones, and confined the inquiry 10
berries, vegetables and other products OF the
farm and garden that would not bear exporta-
ton to foreign markets. l found that the con-
sumption per capita did not vary much In the
large cities from that of the smaller ones. This
being found true, it was easy to approximate the
facts for the other towns aud cities OF the
United States. This / have done, including
only towns and cities Of 5000 inhabitants and
upwards, on the basis of the census of 1850. In
the towns aud cities thus embraced there are
marketed and consumed of the perishable and
non-exportable products of the farms and gar
dens Of the United States the value of $50, 94O.-
600, paid to the producers of these articles. Had
l included cities OF less population than 5000 1t
would amount TO considerable more. Thus it Is
seen whar the value Of home markets Is to
American farmers and gardeners. And these
are among the most profitable products. A noted
political economist Of the free-trade school said
some time ago: 'If mechanics and artisans
cannot find their callings profitable under free
trade, they can turn their attention to others"
OF course it is tie wonderful development OF
manufacturing and mining in the United States
that has given the farmers these millions Of con-
sumers and splendid markets, and but for this
these profitable products would find no market
The annual tariff duties paid on imports aver
age about 5000. 900, 600. which is less than one
third the value of these perishable products.
These facts afford strong proof of the wisdom
and value Of the protective system to American
farmers. Very respectfully yours,
JOHN B. CONNER.

EFFECT OF COLOR.
Novel Method Adopted by u Physician In the
Treatment of the Insane.

Pittsburg Dispatch.
The effect of color on the insane is being
thoroughly tested by a weil-known Pittsburg
physician. Following the example OF an emf

rooms of a patients home 10 red. The windows
are all of red glass, the walls are kslsomiued in
light red. the curtains are Of the same hue. and
the globes of the e~asjets are opalescent

DIR. A. l.. A. Toboldt, in a paper read before the
Ninth Intern ational Medical Congress, speaks of the
genuine imported Carlsbad Sprudel Salt powder
form. as follows:
My experience with the Carlsbad Sprudel Salt
Powder in constipation. diseases of the stomach, liver
and kidneys, diabetes, govt, rheumatism, etc, has
been such that L may truly say. that no remedy which
1 have ever used has given me SO much pleasure and
profit as this particular one.

Water, says:
Imay here state that in chronic abdominal all
ments, constipation, gastric catarrh, dyspepsia, dis
eases OF the stomach, liver and kidneys. diaottes,
govt aud rheumatism, we know of no more eficacious,
rational or simpler remedy than the Carlsbad Mineral
Water and the Carlsbad Sprudel Salt. A person can
st any time OF the year, without the least interrupt
ton to business. and with very little cost, not only
remove any of the above ailments but also prevent
their further deyelopement by the use of this remedy.
