TALK ON THE TARIFF.


AIN 1856 the price of iron rails in Eng
land was ninety shillings sterling (s22. 49,
per ton. In 1858 the price in England
was 100 shillings (Si7.50) per ton. This
advance" said Mr. +. A. Hartshorn Of
New York, "A we'll known manufacturer,
Twas caused by the stoppage of the fifteen
American mills engaged il the manufac-
ture of rails. The low al valorem tariff
Of 1916 caused all the mills in the United
States to suspend operations in 1850, and
rails advanced Ill per cent. That's the
way free foreign trade reduced the price
of iron rails.
sin 1867 steel rails from England were
selling at 1856 Currency per ton. A
tax Of 45 per cent ad valorum, equal to
sii22 per ton, was put upon imported
rails, which gave us chance to start rail
mills here, paying American wages, and
compete with English manufacturers.
Did rails advance in price? No. Com
petition drove prices down, down, down,
until in 1888 the average price was only
s37 A. per ton, and in 1884 it was 5000,
while in 1855 it had fallen to $3.50.
$50 that the total cost Of home made
taxed rails since 1883 has been actually
less than the tax put upon imported rails
in 1867. The people of the United States
can endure that kind of taxing much
better than another delightful privilege of
buying cheap rails in England, such as
the free traders gave US 'befo de wah.'"

THE ARMoRRD COAST DEFENCE
VESSEL.
A Ship that = Believed VIII - AbIs to
Cop. with Anything Anost.

According to the Washington CORE
spondent Of the Y. Y. Tribune, great In
serest was felt at the Navy Yard last
week in the opening Of the bids for the
zrmored coast defence vessel. Ii was con-
cluded generally that the figures proposed
THE lowest being sl,sl4.0 900 constituted
a fair price for the work, and the close
ness Of the bidding was remarkable. The
appropriation act unds which the vessel
is proposed to be- built imposed severe
limitation. IL limited to 1900 900 the
cost exclusive Of armor aud guns Of
floating rams, or other naval defensive
structures. This implied that the 81, 00O.-
900 was to provide for the construction Of
more than one such defensive structure.
A torpedo boat had been contracted for at
a cost Of So 900, and this left little over
81 300, 900 available, out OF viii h, besides
the vessel and machinery, anchors, boats,
etc, were 10 be supplied. So there is
much qualification felt at the fact that the
proposals received today were within the
available appropriation
The new vessel will be a departure In
design from any vessel in the Navy. and

Of the Bureau Of Construction, il confident

type, and Is Of 5000 tons displacement in
cruising trim. When she goes into action,
by taking on water ballast she sinks until
her deck Is but IL inches above the water
level, thus diminishing the size Of the
target exposed to an opponeat. The sides
covering the machinery are 10 be covered
with l6 inches of armor, besides the pro-
lection afforded by the coal bunkers. The
barbette- containing the guns are to be of
lG-inch steel, and the deck will be Of steel
two inches thick. She will 26l feet long,
% feet beam, Ia feet draft, and have
speed of sixteen knots. At thi, speed she
can steam 632 miles, but at ordinary cruis-
ing speed about knots she would travel
3,727 miles without renewing her coal sup
ply.
But the most remarkable feature will be
the tremendous power Of her armament. In
the forward barbette, mounted on a turn
table and manipulated by hydraulic power,
she will carry l6-inch rifle, Weighing 100
tons and - feet long, one Of the largest
guns afioat. In the rear barbette there
will be IL inch rifle weighing 46 l-2 tons.
a Is inch dynamite gun 80 feet long will
project from the bow, and in other places
the vessel will carry six 80 FOUNDERS,
three Founders, two Founders and four
3 pounders-all revolving cannon and
rapid-fiye guns, maehiue-guns. Electric
search-lights, on hollow steel military
mast, will complete the ship, which will
take three aud one half years to build.

Among military men there Is much in
terest in regard to the use of what is
termed smokeless powder. An account is
given in the London Times, Of a recent
date, OF this newly invented explosive,
W hich Ia believed will have a radical in
of recent trial held at hartford, before
company Of the highest British military
authorities, between the ordinary black
powder and the new compound known as
the Maxim powder. The trial was with
quick firing guns Of A. calibre:
THE amount of black powder was So grs.
TO a cartridge and that of the smokeless
powder 90 grs. yet with the latter slightly
increased muzzle velocity 10 obtained. The
great point. however is the comparative
amount of smoke. Fifty rounds were fired
with each description of powder. After some
80 rounds of the black powder had been fired,
the firer could not see the target from the
dense cloud of smoke, while with the smoke
less powder the target was clearly discernible
the end of the series of so rounds, and would
evidently have continued 80 after several
hundred rounds had been rapidly discharged.
There was with the smokeless powder merely
faint mist and the trial yesterday was I'M
der circumstances favorable to the black
powder, for the atmosphere was clear and
there was a light air, Had the trial taken
place in damp and still air the contrast be-
tween the two powders would have been even
more marked than it actually was.
with the smoksless powder, which is he
lieved to be superior to the French smoke
less powder, it would be almost impossible
at 600 yards 10 fix the position of firing
line, and at that DISTANCE also the sound of
the discharge will be scarcely audible. 1t is
almost impossible TO foresee to what extent
tacties you'd be modified by this invention.
A bother advantage of the Maxim smokeless
powder is that after being wetted and dried
il is still efficient. Indeed, = charge of this

The Philadelphia Press draws some in
teresting conclusions from the recent re-
port of the pardons granted by the Gov
ernor of South Carolina. 1t appears that
of s9i conviots undergoing penal sentence
in south Csroiins all but fifty-one are col
ored. The first pardon noted was that of
a negro sentenced in 1876 to one years
Imprisonment. That year lasted to Nov
embcr, 1857, eleven full years, when the
Governor released him from penal servi-
tude by granting him a pardon, alleging
as reason that he had served his sentence
and was waited as . witness for the State
in another ease. A pardon IS granted to
two colored children, aged and 10 re-
spectively whom Judge sentenced to I'M
prisonment for life on their pleading
guilty to burglary and larceny of articles
not exceeding $40 IN value Capep Allen, a
mere lac, was accused of murder in 1877 His
employers testified that at the time of the
murder he was four miles away. Subse-
quently he was rearrested and tried, with
out his employers knowledge, and SEN
fenced to be hanged, which sentence vas
afterward committed to Imprisonment for
life. The repeated efforts of his true
hearted employers to get his release are
now, after eleven years, successful, and
Caper is pardoned. II is enough even to
charge a negro With crime in order TO have
him deprived Of his liberty, as several of
the cases selected by Governor Richard
son for pardon prove. His official state
ment Of the reasons for his seventy par
dons in enc year makes it evident that the
denial Of suffrage rights is small part of
the actual injustice visited upon the negro
race in South Carolina. Such facts fur
nish sad and suggestive commentary on
the state of civilization and moral senti-
ment of once proud and ehiyalrous COM
