NEWS FOR SHIPPERS.
Important Amendments by the
Interstate Commission.

Interstate Commission.
Mr.. G. F. Smurr, Assistant Freight
and Passenger Agent for the Southern
Pacific, yesterday received the following
circular, the importance OF which will be
at once understood by all merchants and
shippers. Its strong terms preclude any
possibility of cutting rates in future, and
this will be matter OF Joy to ali engaged
in traffic;
INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION, |
WASHINGTON, March 7, 1895
CIRCULAR.
The attention of carriers is called tc
the Act of Congress, approved March 2
1889, entitled San Act to amend AN Ac'
to regulate commerce." The Inter.
State Commerce Commission has caused
the Interstate law, as thus amended, tc
be printed for general distribution, and
will furnish copies on application by mail
or otherwise. Section of the act as il
now stands contains the following pro-
visions in respect to joint tariffs:
"No advance shall be made in joint
rates, fares and charges shown upon
Joint tariffs, except after ten days notice
to the Commission, which shall plainly
state the changes proposed to be made
in the schedule then in force, and the
time when the increased rates, fares OF
charges will go into effect. No reduction
shall be made in joint rates, fares OF
charges, except after three days notice
to be given to the Commission as is
above provided in the case OF an advance
in Joint rates. The Commission may
make public such proposed advances, OIL
such reductions in such manner as may
in its Judgment, be deemed practicable
and may prescribe from time to time the
measure of publicity which common car
riers shall give to advances or reductions
in Joint tariffs" 1t will be OBJ
served that an advance il
rates shown upon joint tariffs
is forbidden Except after ten days no
tice to the Commission" and a re
duction in such rates is also forbidden
Except after three days notice to b
given to the Commission. The time il
each case is to be computed from the day
when the notice nf advance or reduction
reaches the Commission in Washington
The transportation of passengers o.
Fraioht over continuous lines or route
onarated by more than one carrier, upoI
fbrouoh tickets or through billing neces
sarily implies the existence Of fioint tariff
All Joint tariffs now filed in the Office o
the Commiesion will be understood as re
maining in force until due notice o
an advance or reduction is given
When no other tariff is filed, th'
rates on joint traffic are understood to bt
the sum of the local rates OF the indlvid
ual roads. An order will at once bt
made prescribing thatall future advances
and reductions in joint tariff shall DC
given the same publicity which IS re-
Guired in the case of tariffs of indivld'
nal carriers. Until such advances or re-
ductions are notified to the Commission

Town Lots.

With the immense settlement that must in
the nature of things follow the subdivision

gigantic colony, with its countless number of
orchards and vineyards drawing to 1t men of
enterprise and capital, BAKERSFIELD, with
its Incompatible water power, and other
natural advantages; with its railroad facilities
at hand, and the almost positive certainty OF
being the terminal point of another line, will
grow to, and become, beyond a doubt, a city of
great proportions, and town lots will become
very valuable. Within the last year extensive
improvements have been projected and COM
pleted at BAKERSFIELD. The SOUTHERN

rior cities. Other important enterprises of
private nature are contemplated and some well
under way. The lots we offer are centrally

Foreign Capital.

Isn't there an undue tendency in
some quarters to exult over recent
great transfers of British capital to
this country for the purpose of OBJ
tanning controlling interest in large
industries =! A real political econom-
list would consider both sides of the
picture. If it were possible for
British capitalists to secure possess
ion of any material proportion of the
whole business of the country, there
would be something besides rejoicing
at the fact, we opine. Whatever
British capital goes into manufacture
ing or other business in the United
States will be planted here, but the
profits will 90 abroad and enrich peo-
pie who will expend their surplus in
or wherever the foreign cap
ital comes from. This might prove
a serious state of affairs, and in its
mitigated form cannot increase the
volume of American prosperity. Too
much absentee capital might drag
down nation even as rich as is our

How Dimes are Made and Counted.

The u. S. mint in San Francisco
is said to be the largest institution of
the kind in the world. The process
of dime making is an interesting one.
The silver bullion is first melted and
run into two-pound bars. These in
turn are run through immense rollers
and fattened out to the thickness Of
the coin. These silver strips are then
passed though machine which cuts
them into proper size for the presses,
the strips first having been treated
with kind of tallow to prevent their
being scratched in their passage
through the cutters. The silver pieces
are then put into the feeder of the
printing presses, and are fed to the
die by automatic machinery at the
rate of 100 per minute, $4,000 dimes
being turned out in regular working
day Of eight hours. AS the smooth
pieces are pressed between the pom
derous printing dies they receive the
lettered and figured impression in a
manner similar to that Of paper
pressed upon form of type; at the
same time the piece is expanded in
slight degree, and the small corruga-
tions are cut into its rim. The ma
chine drops the completed coin into
receiver, and it is ready for the
counters hands. The instrument
used by the counter is not compli-
Gated machine by any means, as one
might suppose. 1t is a simple copper
colored tray, having raised ridges
running across its surface at dis
lance apart the exact width of Il
dime. From the receiver the money
is dumped on the board or tray, and
as it is shaken rapidly by the. count
err the pieces settle down into the
spaces between the ridges. All these
spaces being filled, the surplus coin is
brushed back into the receiver, and
the counter has exactly 1850 silver
dimes, or 1925 on his tray, which
number is required to fill the spaces.
The tray is then emptied into boxes,
and the money is ready for shipment.
The dime does not pass through the
weigher's hands, as does the coin of
larger denomination. One and one
half grains is allowed for variation,
or Tolerance" in all silver coins
from dollar down, and the devia-
ton from the standard in the case of
the ten cent pieces is so trifing that
the trouble and expense of weighing
coins of this denomination is dispensed
with.-Ex.

The individuals who have all the
anthracite coal to sell which can be
brought to this market met the other
day and raised the schedule of prices,
to take effect on July LIST, from five to
fifteen cents per ton. Just why they
raised it does not appear, but the pre-
sumption is that they concluded that
they would like to have about that
much more money. Their ideas as to
how much it would be wise to charge
seems to be affected by the season.
Shifting the price about now and then
affords them satisfaction apparently,
though there is no reason why they
should not keep it steadily at one fig
ure all the year round. IF the par.
ties who have to buy the coal could
only meet occasionally and determine
how much they would pay, things
would be more equable.-New York

to different Republican -papers that
deal in political matter for effect and
are willing to accept such ready-made
statements. The object of one of
these clubs is to continue to increase
the high duty on wool, and both add
vocate the maintenance of our home
market regardless of honest COMPETE
ton. No party is willing or asks to
give up our home market to foreign
competition, but all desire to strength
en- it and also enable our manufactur.
ers to compete with all by giving them
free raw materials. which will not
only build up our industries, but bring
us into closer competition with the
manufacturers of the world, besides
doing away with a good deal of ex-
pensive political machinery and re-
ducing the destructive fluctuations in
trade to minimum. 1t would also
reduce the price of clothing to con-
sumers, which would be equivalent to
a slight advance in wages. Detroit
