A Tariff for Revenue OnIy.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal
Cleveland, Carlisle & Co., and other Demo-
cratic disciples of Golden, favor a tariff for

able free-trade fpanciers have in view, wish to
inquire if that result could not be obtained,
even though present tariff rates should be
at once reduced 70 per cent9
Such reduction would probably close almost
every mandatory in this country. All the
better for the aforesaid disciples of Mr. Golden.
When our American establishments are de-
stroyed, imports from England would be
increased with such wonderful rapidity as would
make Cleveland's ponderous pauuch shake with

revenue pouring into our Golfers And John Bull

A YEARS RAILWAY TRAFFIC
The Business of 1887 Shows a Hand
some Increase Over Any Former Year.
Both Through and Local Business Steadily In
creasing, and the Outlook for the Future
Full of Promising Indications.

The exhibit given below shows the number OF
cars received and forwarded over the fifteen In
danapolis roads in the year 1887, as compared
with the fourteen preceding years, and also the
movement by months for the six years preced-
ing These statistics ara compiled weekly from
the car records, and are official in character,
and are an excellent pulse of business generally.
Il will be noticed that $500 more loaded
were handled at this point last year than in
1886, and So 1858 more than in 1882 which was
the best year prior to 1887 in the history of In
dianapolis roads. Ii is said that the business Of
the year 1887 would have been 80. 900 cars in ex-
cess Of the present exhibit could cars have been
commanded as called for, but in the end prob
ably no real loss is incurred by the shortage of
cars, as it has thrown business over into the
winter months. when traffic is usually light
Last year March, October and November were
the big months. In month, however, was
the movement lighter than in the corresponding
months of 1856. East-bourd tonnage exceeded
that of 1856 about 10 per cent the improve
ment being wholly in export business. The
largest gain in tonnage is shown in west-bound
freights. The shipment of merchandise
and railway supplies was immense.
Local business exceeded the usual
average about Is per cent. Fully six months of
the year clerks and platform men worked four
to six hours overtime besides Sundays. The
Bee-line shows the largest increase in move
nent OF cars, both east and west bound. and the
c., l., St l.. g. G. comes next In proportion
TO the business done, however, the Indianapolis
e. Vncennes shows the largest per cent. of in
crease. This is due to the rapid development of
the coal traffic it's line. The l., B. 81 W., the
c., Fl. & l., the Lake Erie & Western all show
decreased movement in cars. The failure of
the corn crop on the l., B. 81 w. and the loss of
the business or the Wabash over the Lake Erie
& Western account fer the decrease on those
roads, and the loss with the c., H. & I. was in
through business, their local business showing
= handsome increase over 1886. All. of course,
show better earnings, well have rates been
main tanned. The Vandaia suffered in it's coal
traffic the first eight months of the year. while
its merchandise tonnage has been the
heaviest in it's history. The Indi-
annapolis 81 st. Louis the last seven
months made a very favorable exhibit of
business, catching on to more Kansas City and
other Western business than it has been able to
in years past. The roads have been exempt
from strikes, and matters have moved along
smoothly with ALL and the year 1888 is entered
under more favorable conditions than any for
mer year.
Below is given the number of loaded cars
ceived and forwarded at this point by months in
the year 1887 and the movement of the five pre-

kind. even although it contain tho most explicit
stipulation that all political offenders shall be

would not be of the slightest to Our

ment will show that in the year 1887 there were
