George Stephenson, the great English
engineer. once told committee OF the
/ House of Commons who was examining
him upon the probable development Of
railroads. that where combination WAS
possible, competition would become i'm
possible. This Is singularly verified in
the present experience of this country
in tue matter of trusts. The country
being walled around by an almost i'm
penetrable tariff blockade, manufac-
turers have had secured to them their
great wish. the home market, and by
the same token have been deprived OF
the right TO trade freely with the rest
of the world.
The unrlvaiied ingenuity and ability
Of the Americans in manufactures has
produced surplus of most articles
manufactured III this country. The
home market cannot cOnsume-the

How. theu. can this competition for

Several Northern papers think that
the recalcitrant Republicans in Virginia
have been whipped into the Malone
traces by the National Committee. but
are entirely out Of spirit with the Boss
and will not accord him hearty sup
port.
This might be true il there was a
Democratic administration, but there
is all the difference in the world be
tween this year and the year 1888. and
even the one when expecting victory,
and with all the prestige Of success Vir-
GINA only mustered 800 majority for
Cleveland.
Cleveland's administration was
triumph of Democratic principles, and
1t is felt as such more deeply now than
''vn wears ago. but it was not a pOlitI-
clan $ victory. a"d the looeI influence
brought to his support in 1885 war ~ot
enthusiastic. Neither party was really
on its metal, but AT present the 70
election Of Harrison Is deeply involved
in policy Of controlling some Of the
Southern States by persuasion, money,
and Federal supervisors.
The day has not arrived for the SUI
pervisors, and it needs a National cleo
tIODal and some new acts Of Congress
to bring them into action; but we shall
have from the excbequer Of the Ma
tional G.. O. p. BOSS Quay, grand
treasurer) more funds subscribed by
the Carnegiss and Wanamakers and all
the grand order of monoplists. who con
stitute the satellites Of Saturn's great
Ring, and reflect the great planet g light
and profits. Boss Malone has succeeded
in persuading tho Head Centre that
Virginia can be won over - the Radi- /
calls with money and promises, and a
full line Of misrepgesentstionsa and false /
figures Oh the tariff.
1t will be related in secret circulars |
and dodgers how protection means sai- /
walton TO labor, and many uniformed |
voters will be deluded without know
ing that since the great triumph Of the /
prOtcctionsts labor has suffered and |
trusts have thrived.
When once Malone moonshine dodg- |
ers, which he used to manufacture IN
his own zen with hand presses and rat
printers. get abroad, then IN good sOoth
prevarication will thrive and honest men
may look out.
Happily, we know the crooked ways
of the beguiler and may arm ourselves
beforehand.
One Of the first things is TO keep the
people in every precinct informed on
the true principles of equitable taxa
ton to support the government instead
of tribute from 30 TO 100 per cent. to
pamper monopoly.
We are quite confident that the ma
jofity Of the white people Of Virginia
are settled in their belief in a properly
adjusted tariff such as the Democratic
party hss always professed. but the
political difficulty before us is to meet
the Republicans successfully when they
may make such an active canvass as to
ALLEVIATE part of our vote with false
issue.

Az ice incident happened opposite

s;ons hot in spite Of the ten thousand
pounds Of arctic cooler that was by.
The ice-wagon man weighed out an al

that it was not forty pounds.
So the block Of fifty was reweighed
and only tipped the scales at the forty

thirty pounds.
Then, upon am appeal to a referee,
they took it to the express office. and il

ADMIRAL PORTER writes an article in
the North american Rericw with am
idea of showing that the problem in
naval war is yet to be solved; as the re-
sistauce capacity Of the big ironclads
remains unchanged and the adyan-
tagc would be with the heaviest
guns. lie takes in the question
Of torpedoes and the ways Of
resisting them. but states the
important fact that the underwater
ram is not efficient because it might
disable the attacking vessel though IL
destroyed the object. His dissertation
on the swift cruisers and American
torpedo boats is interesting. especially
as ne illustrates his ideas with an
imaginary naval battle in 1894, in
which all the modern sorts Of ships are
brought INTO action and the result a
drawn battle.
