A queer statement made by Mr.. Jas.
Irvine of Liverpool was gravely quoted
in the House of Lords the other day.
Mr.. Irvine said the 10000 tons Of bad
rum and gin are sold every year along
$50 miles of the West African coast by
not over dozen firms, "the members Of
which are excellent men, and many OF
them, l believe, sincere Christians
Mr.. Irvine added that nothing would
be gained by''trying to induce them to
withdraw from the trade, for if they
did so the only result would be that
worse men would take their places.
When the untutored savage irrigates
his allmentary canal with trade gin, he
probably doesn't care glass bead
whether it reaches him through high
moral or depraved and reprehensible
sources. He wants his liquor hot and
raw, and he doesn't draw any fine dis
tinctiors between the quality Of the
beverage supplied by "sincere Chris
tians" and that sold by bad men. But
this is perhaps the first attempt to sad
die upon the Church the responsibility
of drenching West Africa with ardent
spirits.-N. Y. Sun.

the latter to reach the soft coal fields
of Western Maryland, the terminal be-
ing at Williamsport, Md, where the
coal is received from the Chesapeake
and Ohio canal. Through the B. n o.
1t already reaches the soft coal fields but
the terminals of the two, Philadelphia
and New York, are the same, and the
Reading practically derives no benefit
from the arrangement 20 tar as carry
ing soft coal is concerned. The con-
nection between the Reading and West
ern Maryland is to take place at Harris
burg, Pa. The Harrisburg and Poto-
mac Railroad, which is owned by the
Reading runs in a northeasterly dlrec-
ton 80 miles from Shippensburg to
within few miles of Harrisburg. 1t
is intended to extend this road to the
Susquehanna river by laying a few
miles of track, and then by constructing
bridge across the river to connect it with
the Reading system. At Shippensburg
the Harrisburg and Potomac connects
with branch of the Western Maryland
system. A corporation has been form
ed in the interests of the Reading r.
R. Co., known as the Harrisburg Ter
minal Company. which will enable the
Harrisburg and Potomac to reach Har.
risburg. The unfinished South Penn
Bridge could be used, and it is report
ed that the Vanderbilts have been APP
preached upon the question of selling
it. There is no proscect, however, that
the bridge will be sold.

The Binder Irvine Monopoly

From the Bel Air Ayis.
The farmer is pinched and robbed
by trusts and high tariff in nearly
everything that his necessities compel
him to buy, but in nothing is the exac-
ton more directly felt than in the price
he has to pay tor binder Irvine. Last
year this indispensable article was
twelve cents Il pound; now the price is
twenty cents. The excuse for this is
short crops of the raw material, but the
real reason is gigantic trust. made
possible by the high tariff on m anuiac-
tured Irvine. Farmers have no way Of
escaping this extortion. There IS no
substitute Immediately available. The
monopolists know this, and put the
twine', as it were, upon the farmers.
A suggestion has been made by ex-
Senator Charles M. Jump, Of Talbot
county. which if carried out, would
doubtless tree Maryland farmers, at
least, from the clutches of the Irvine
trust. The outlines of the plan are
given to us by Judge Frederick Stump.
of that judicial circuit.
Mr.. Jump proposes that the next
Legislature shall pass law by which
convict labor in our penitentiary and
reformatory institutions may be used to
make binder Irvine, the State establish
ing plant for its manufacture. In.
stead of using the imported sisal grass
and other materials on which a high
tariff duty is now laid, hemp is proposed
as a substitute, and Maryland farmers
are to be encouraged to raise it. The
Irvine is to be sold first to Maryland
farmers, preference being given to those
who bring hemp in exchange for man.
ufactured Irvine. When the home de.
mand is supplied sales can be made
elsewhere.
1t is believed that if private enter
prise would enter into a scheme of this
kind the trust men would combine to.
gether and crush it out. They could
not compete against convict labor. An
argument used for this plan is that by
it Maryland farmers would get some
thing in return for the taxes they pay
to support the criminals in our prisons,
and the establishment Of this manufac-
ture would not interfere with any ex-
listing industry. The abolition of the
tariff on the raw material would at once
lower the price of binder Irvine. but
this is not possible. and the farmer has
to pay 80 or 40 per cent. more than he
ought for his Irvine as bonus to the
,trust-all because of the high tariff
Any relief from this monstrous robbery
would be gladly welcomed by the farm
.er.
