OF course it is impossible to compare the cost
of maintenance of track in one country with
that in another but to take the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, for example, we find an ex
penditure last year of $6Sl9,5W for maintenance
of way on 1850 miles of road operated, or nearly
$500 mile. A saving of % per cent of this
would provide per cent extra dividend on the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company's share capt
tai OF course metal are more expensive than
wooden ties, but air brakes are more expensive
than the old hand brakes that are SO rapidly dis

also. 1t is satisfactory to note that at least
three important railroad cOmpanies-the Penn
sylvana the New York Central, and the Chi
cago and Western Indiana-are making serious
tests of this Improvement on the hitherto ac-
cepted type of permanent way. and that at a

winning game on the crop of ''spuds"
that is being shipped to the east in train
loads. The prices for cabbage last
March set in at 500 ton, which John
shrewdly raised to $50 by May. So with
the tubers. The price started month
ago at SO cents a hundred, and as the
demand developed little by little the
price has been forced up until now it
has reached $1.30, or an increment
of nearly 80 per cent. To go in and COM
pete with the Chinese in making some
of this money, would be a rather more
effective way Of making them go, than
is this repetition of the famous phrase
that Dennis Kearney made trite and
meaningless a dozen years ago by his

from the legal point of view he

trian Jockey Club, where he lost in a

view Of retrieving his fortunes, he
straightway purchased for rise large

upward course, rendering him thereby
liable for differences to the tune of

Prince Albert OF the sovereign house of

family of Liechtenstein and Prince

ARTICLE.
Benefit of 1t to Reciprocate With the
United States.

AUGUSTA, Me-, June 16.-A letter from
Secretary Blaine to ex-Mayor Cony
says: "You are in error in supposing
that l am opposed to sugar being adj
mitted free of duty. My objection is
not to free sugar, but to the proposed
method of making it free. Ii in the i'm
pending tariff bill sugar is placed upon
the free list, we give to certain
countries free market for $95, 100000
of their products, while they are not
asked to open their markets to the free
admission of a single dollar OF American
products. We ought to have in exchange
for free sugar from certain countries a
free market for breadstutfs and provi-
sions, besides various fabrics from all
parts of our country. In short, we
ought to secure in return for
free sugar a market for $60,000,000 or
$40, 900, 900 worth OF our products. 1t
will not require a reciprocity treaty to
secure this great boon. The tariff bill
can contain all the necessary conditions.
The legislative power is able to secure
the desired end. Within the last twenty
years we have given the countries south
of us free admission for nearly $60, ,OOO,-
600 worth of their products without
receiving any advantage in exchange. II
sugar be now made unconditionally free,
we shall have given to the Latln-Amerl-
can countries free admission for $l50,-

think, to look out for some reciprocal
advantages. We are very rich nation,
