comparison. it is difficult to see what excuse
can he given for the frequent assertion that
prices generally are enhanced in this country
Inv the tariff. whether to the full extent OF the
duty or to any other extent. For in 1850 this
country had a low revenue tariff, and was near
the close of a long period of fourteen years
under such tariff and the prices then quoted
were about the average for forty years. The
progress of science, invention and transporta-
tion have cheapened products in this country
nearly per cent more than in Great Britain
since that tariff was abandoned.
The recent advance in Great Britain has not
been eoualled in this country, and while prices
are now little higher than in July last, they
have a downward tendency. This is partly
because of the monetary pressure but mainly
the result of the enormous crops and the I'M
precedented production in various branches oil
manufacture. In England the crops have been
fair. but not extraordinary, and manufacturing
production, though rapidly reviving, is not as
vet by any means as large as it has been.

FACTS ABOUT THE BALTIMORE.

The secret history Of the recent trial of the
Baltimore is recorded in a Washington dispatch
on another page The results Of that official
test were prematurely announced on inaccurate
information, and Secretary Tracy's congrat-
ulations to his predecessor were not justified
by the subsequent calculations Of the experts
When the Baltimore returned to her dock the
semi official statement of one Of the members
Of the Trial Board credited her with having
developed an average horsepower of 0, 900.
The actual result, as worked out by the en-
gineers, was 3, 977 horsepower, showing dis
crepancy of ,023. According to the explana-
tions now given by one of the officials Of the
Department, thu estimate of 1000 was based
largely upon the good feeling that pervaded
the vessel The reported speed of 20 knots
was probably as elastic calculation rs the
reckless assumption Of 10000 horse power.
The patent log used was designed for 0 knots
speed and was utterly Enthusiastically. The
Baltimore may be as fast a ship as she has been
represented to be, but her actual speed has not
vet been ascertained with critical accuracy.
Under these circumstances a second trial
trip is absolutely essential, since the horse
power developed has not come up to the re-
ouilements of the contract and as the epeed
is largely matter Of conjecture. 1t may safe
w be assumed that the conditions of the new
test will be more rigorous than those of the
last trial The Department will undoubtedly
caution the members of the Trial Board to be
more reticent another time and to abstain from
premature and reckless gueSswork until the
mathematical calculations have been made by
the engineers and the results are accurately
known If the speed is to be ascertained, some
thing better than 0-knOt patent-log should
be employed. There are accurately measured
courses in Delaware Bay over which the Balti-
more can be put to her best pace with close
approach to certainty respecting her actual
performance. A tral-trip of a new shp-of
war should be conducted in a methodical and
