WHILE Ben Butterworth Is compelled
TO say a good many things on the Pro
tectIve tariff he does not believe, he
occasionally relieves his conscience by
telling the truth, or what he believes 10
be the truth. II was In discussing the
difference In wages paid to iron workers
In Chicago and Pittsburg. 1t was
proved that Andrew Carnegie paid
from lifty cents to 81 lower than was
paid for similar work In furnace No 2
Of the Union Steel company at Chicago.
A still more startling difference was
shown In the wages Of the heaters
helper; Mr.. Carnegie paying 81 S2 per
100 tons, while the Chicago concern
paid 90. Mr.. Butterworth was asked,
"Does not Illinois need q protective
tariff against the cheap pauper labor
OF Pennsylvania" Mr. Butterworth
replied: "If the arbitrary control Of
competition by congress without regard
to condition be desirable-tbat is, II q
protective tariff as a means Of limiting
competition be good In the abstract
congress should at once, II II has the
power, divide the United States into siG
divisions, 80 that each one may get rich
by fencing out all competition"
And yet this is the same Ben Butter
worth, who under the pressure OF party
exigency came TO Canton In 1888, and
made n Protection speech for Mckinley.

We hope Mckinley will remain in

him, and we think so well of him that
we hope in the future to have his socle-

mI,mopRIO Apnmnp RAILhoADb
AND THnIR PnouRnsb,


In his paper on Application Of Elec'
trlclty TO Street Railways" read at tho
81. LOUIS convention, Mr. Frank J'
sprague of New York, as illustrating
the wonderful progress made In the
short period OF about fifteen years,
stated that there are about 1870 towns or
cities In the United States with one or
more electric railways In operation,
construction or under contract ana
that these roads comprise about LOO
miles of track, equipped with LOO
motor cars, requiring 5000 motors OF
an aggregate capacity OF 10000 horse
power aud steam and electrical genera
tors Of 5000 h,p, The roads IN opera
ton are making about 10000 miles
per day aud Within three months the
mileage will be doubled
As regards danger and unsightllness
no regarded the latter question as rath'
or aeslhetIcal than practical, and then
with care railway lines can, In view OF
the service rendered, be made very un'
ObtTusiye.
oThe electric car said Mr., Sprague,
ols the safest possible vehicle becau'e
Of the remarkable facility OF control
and he thought that the objections rails.
ed TO the overhead lines on the score OF
danger were imaginary rather than
real. almost every employe OF the
contracting companies and great
many employees Of the railway com
panIes themselves, including not only
the line men, and those whose business
IL Is TO work upon the electrlca equip
ment, but also the conductors and
drivers, have received shocks from
these lines Of greater or less duration,
and under almost every possible condi-
ton, yet in no instance that ever came
under my observation, or of which we
have any reliable record, has serious
injury resulted from the shock OF the
current Itself. When we consider that
these shocks have occurred to persons
Of all ages and all physical conditions,
and for varying periods, the experience
seems TO be quite ample to warrant the
assertion that as ordinarily constructed
a constant potential circuit Of 800 volts
ls not dangerous TO human life, and We
can dismiss that question"
This potential Of 800 volts has been
adopted by the leading electric railway
companies as theirpermanentst tstandard,
In concluding his paper Mr.. sprague
considered at some length the appllca'
tlon of electricity 10 such a lineas that
from Jersey City TO Philadelphia, 00
miles in length, and concludes that a 60
mile express service, every 10 minutes,
does not seem such a serious electrical
problem and certainly not one TO
shrink from"

ratiOna OF this grand robber scheme, 10
II any wonder the farmer should COM
plalnP II Is our candid opinion, that
although some Republican papers have
characterized the farmer as "ohronic
growler," and an unsuitable hog" be-
cause he dared 10 raise his voice against
such aoouraed robbery, he Ia not 80
much OF a hog IN tho Mckinley doc
trine OF home market would demand

ducea, This ia the sum, for II 10 re-
membeTed very nearly one half the peo-
pie of tho United States are farmers
And a home market means that they
and the other half should consume all,
This would tax the gOrmandlzlng ca
paoIty OF the average farmer TO such an
extent that the erring farmer, though
he be called "hog," could not fare
thereon. We have a grave suspicion
that the McKinleyltes have some patent
