Ice and Coal.

An enterprising New York dealer
advertises ''pure Maine ice at So per
ton," which is dirt cheap for the To-
cality this year and is not much
above the price in ordinary years, but
it is nearly twice the price of ton
of coal. This suggests the fact, or
rather the probability based upon
such facts as we have, that if we
leave out of the account what coal is
used for motive power, the people of
this country used about as many tons
of ice as they do of coal in year and
that it costs them as much to keep
cool in summer as it does to keep
warm in winter. In New England
we use for all purposes about IL ,OOO,-
900 tons of coal year, costing $780,
100000 more or less. How much
ice we use we do not know, but if, as
the dealers claim, the supply is A.
600, 700 tons short this year, we must
require IL 100000 tons or more, and
the cost to the consumers is more
than So per ton. When we consider
that the bulk of all our coal is burned
to obtain a motive power and that
New England is a northern and cold
section, it would appear that if our
ice bills are more than our coal bills
in other sections that are warmer and
where ice is dearer and coal cheaper
than here, it must cost double or
treble to supply refrIgerators in sum-
mer that it does to keep stoves run
ming in the winter. And yet coal is
a necessity, and ice has been until
recent years a luxury which most
people got along without even in the
cities, and were not aware that they
wanted in the country. Few of us
comprehend until our attention is di-
rected to the matter what an immense
business the ice business is, how
much capital Or how many men are
engaged in it, or what a vast sum
the annual sales aggregate. We are
constantly figuring and fighting to
reduce the cost of coal. We are con-
stantly exercising our ingenuity and
our patience in trying to devise meth
Ods of burning it economically. If
we have warm autumn we sav''This

A Movement Against Ocean Racing

It is said that the British Board of
Trade has at last been moved by the
alarming frequency of accidents to
transatlantic steamers to take imme-
diate summary action with view to
suppressing ocean racing. In the in
terests of the travelling public, it is
to be hoped that this statement is
we'll found ed. There was time when
Europeans, Englishmen particularly,
were accustomed to affect the utmost
disapprobation of the alleged reckless
daredevil tendencies of American
steamship commanders. Every little
mishap to an American ship was duly
dilated upon by the European press
as an example of Yankee foolhardi-
ness. But if there ever was a basis
for any such complaint in matters of
ocean navigation, the relative posi-
tions of American and European
steamship managers and officers have
now been transformed completely.
The record for security to life and
property possessed by the principal
American steamship lines is one that
may well be envied by the Foreigners.
It is true that there are very few
American steamers and no no really
distinctive American line in the trans
atlantic trade, but in the Ward, the
Mallory, the cred D." the Cromwell
and other prominent American lines
running to the southwark it is to be
gravely doubted whether any such
reckless, unseamanlike methods
would be tolerated as those which
accompany the ''record-breaking"
craze of the Atlantic grayhounds.
And yet among these American
steamers are some fast ships, and
without making any great noise or
running any excessive risks the time
of the voyages to Cuba, to the BAHIA
mas, to New Orleans, Galveston and
Mexico is being steadily lowered.
England, which twenty or thirty
years ago used to profess the most
horror of American recklessness, is
now, it is significant to observe, the
chief offender in the matter of head.
long transatlantic racing. If it were
not that the intense rivalry of Eng
lish steamship companies sets the
pace. the French and Germans would
no doubt be content to push their

Window and Retaliation.

Some two months ago, it will be
remembered, senate committee was
appointed to investigate the subject
of the relation existing between Can
ada and the United States. Of this
committee Senator Hoar is chairman,
and it is known that very consider
able amount of work has been accom-
plished. A voluminous report is
looked for on an early day; and it is
expected that it will take strong
ground in favor of the adoption of
measures os retaliation against Cana
da.
Serious complaints have for some
time been made against the Domin-
ion government for certain unjust
acts of discrimination against the
United States. The more these COM
plants are inquired into the more
does it appear that they are we'll
founded; and there is strong con-
viction in some quarters that the
causes of complaint have been too
long neglected. Inconvenience is
experienced from Canadian discrim-
nations against the United States
railroads in the matter of freights,
and also in regard to the importation
of such articles as tea, coffee and
coin. In the Canadian customs tar
iff tea is on the free list ; but tea
from the Uuited States is dutiable at
the rate of 10 per cent. ad valorem.
From another section of the Canadian
customs tariff it is gathered that coin
-"gold and silver be free,
"except United States coin." These
discriminating duties are the more Of
fensive that in the United States all
the articles named are on the free
list.

ests be promptly and vigorously pro-
tected.-Ec.

Ten Reasons.

One of the most prominent and
widely respected republicans of Gale
donia county writes US that he is for
Mr.. Page for governor and proceeds
to give ten reasons therefor ten
good reasons they are, and excellent
ly expressed. He writes:
1. He is live man and wide
awake republican.
2. He is man of the people and
consequently his sympathies are with
the people.
3. He is in the interest of no rail-
road magnate or corporation, and has
independence enough to stand on his
own bottom.
4. He is a Vermonter by birth
and education and has Vermonter's
pride in the growth and prosperity of
the state.
5. He has an eagle eye to his
own business interests and can be
trusted, we are confident, to guard
the interests of the state, and pluck
enough, should occasion require, to
stamp his veto upon legislative ex-
travagance and Interpretations.
6. He did more than any other
man in the state during the last pres
idential campaign to bring out the la
tent energies of Vermont republican
ism at the polls, which told so glori-
ously in the election of the gallant
Harrison to the presidency.
Z. He is the man the farmers of
the state can trust to put his foot on
unwise and extravagant measures,
which tend to produce high taxes and
business depression and failures.
s. He lives in a section of the
state which has waited long and pa
tiently for it's turn to be honored with
the office of the governorship.
8. He has been wilfully maligned
by a malignant press without cause
or provocation and he would elect
him governor to right the wrong and
vindicate his honor.
10. He is the peoples candidate,
and as one of the people we favor his
nomination.
Our correspondent is succinct but
comprehensive, and his ten reasons
present a complete and unanswerable
argument in behalf of our candidate.

New England Not Waning.

The notion that New England
farms are steadily being depopulated
has been fast growing within the last
few years, until now it is very gener-
ally accepted as fact that our farm
ing population is rapidly decreasing.
The reason universally given for the
alleged decline in agriculture is that
the farms of New England cannot
compete with the vast tracts of rich
lands in the West which have recent
ly been brought into cultivation; op-
erations can there be carried on on
broader basis, and on larger scale
than in the East, and on the whole
the cost of production is much less.
The statement may be true in some
respects, and, indeed, it is seldom
disputed that in the raising of GER
tain products our western states have
a decided advantage over their more
crowded and sometimes less fertile
eastern sisters; but that by admit
ting this point the whole question is
proved, that agriculture is decreasing
in New England on account of the
competition of the newer states, is
far from true. On the contrary, it
can be shown that New England has
not declined in what Horace Greeley
has called "the noblest of profess
sions;" and that there is yet no i'm
mediate danger of the disappearance
of our landed estates and the CONVEX
sion of the New England farmers,
that class of husbandmen which has
become so inseparately connected
with the history of the whole country,
into shop-men and manufacturers.

If we have an early spring, we are
glad because we shall have coal left
over. But who gives much care or
attention to the ice business except
those who are in it? Who studies re-
frigerators to see which will save or
which will waste ice? Who is sorry
to see the warm weather in Septem-
Der because it makes ice necessary?
Its habit we all have to figure very
closely on the necessaries of life and
give very little thought to the ex-
pense of such Injuries as we are ac-
customed to indulge in. Men will
run all over town to save quarter
on a barrel of -four, and then pay
without a thought for a favorite
brand of cigars 80 cents box more
than others just as good can be
bought for, and a woman will go far
ther and study harder to save ten
cents on print dress than she will
to save a dollar on a silk. Perhaps
this is because when we buy necessa-
ries we do it by compulsion and when
we treat ourselves on luxuries we are
acting voluntarily and don't want to
be mean; at any rate, we do it, and
we do it as much as ever when we
buy coal and ice. - Mirror and

The Votes on Silver.

In passing the House silver bill, the
republican party has gone as far as it
possibly can go with safety to satisfy
the desire for larger monetary cir
culation and for monetary use of sill
yer. It has provided that all the sill
yer produced in this country, whether
from mines or from imported foreign
ore, shall be taken for monetary use
except perhaps 100000 ounces,
about half the quantity required for
use in the arts. 1t has provided that
whenever silver shall reach par it
shall be coined without limit, and
purchases of bullion shall then cease.
It has provided for permanent ad-
dition of $54 100000 yearly to the
currency, and that in paper notes
which are made legal tender for all
purposes, while the amount of bank
notes retired during the last twelve
months has been about $29, 100000,
and retirement at that rate can not
continue much longer. These steps
would have gone beyond the limit of
safety, in the judgment of the Trib-
une, but for one provision which
makes new notes redeemable at the
pleasure of holders in bullion of a
fixed gold value. Expansion, if the
currency is kept as good as gold, is
neither venturesome nor dishonest.
But great expansion, with risk that
the currency may thereby be separat-
ed in value from the money of the
civilized world, would be a violation
of republican principles and pledges.
Out of 142 republicans who voted
on this measure, only eight voted
against it, and of these one was not
in favor of free coinage, but thought
the bill went too far in the direction
of expansion. Out of 112 democrat
lc votes only one was for the bill. It
is therefore entitled to be regarded as
essentially a party measure, and as
such goes to a republican senate.
Repeatedly it was boasted in the
House that the bill would be chang
ed in the senate by rejection of the
one clause which which makes its ex-
pansion of currency safe, namely,t the
provision for redemption in bullion.
That remains to be seen.-Iribuae.

New York'S Water Famine.

1t is rather early in the season to
look for a water famine, yet New
York is more than threatened with
such a calamity. The situation in
that city is said to be positively
alarming. The hot weather has caus-
ed a tremendous demand for water
for ell purposes, resulting in scare
ity for domestic use. The police
have been instructed to see that no
hose pipes are used on lawns or gar
dens, and measures have been taken
to reduce the daily consumption.
Fire hydrants are reported to be dry
by the hundreds, ,and many tenements
are wholly without supply of water
during the day, being dependent on
what they can get during a few hours
in the night when the steam pump of
the manufactures and the large
buildings have surrendered their mo-
nopoly of the mains. The quality
of the water is naturally growing
worse and worse the lower it gets,
and just now Croton is very unpopu-
lar as a beverage. Many men are
honestly afraid to drink the muddy
water, and sacrifice themselves to the
mysteries of beer.
1t is a thousand pities that the peo-
pie of large cities cannot be sure of
pure and healthful drinking water.
Residents of the smaller cities and
the country towns can scarcely ap-
preciate the true value of aqua purG.
Nor can they prize to the fullest ex-
tent the invigorating air and the beau
ties of nature with which their envir-
onments surround them.-TelegrGph.

The present promises to be men,
orable season on the Atlantic. The
mishap to the city of Paris suggested
the possibilities that lie in wait for
the best constructed and apparently
safest steamships. Then several
collisions and hairbreadth escapes
from collision with the extraordinary
number of icebergs in the track of
steamer are calculated to make the
nervous shrink from essaying an
ocean voyage. About two weeks
ago the Gascogne, of the French Line
struck rock off the Scilly Islands,
being saved from destruction only by
the lifting of the fog, which revealed
the danger in time to bring the vessel
nearly to a stop before the collision
occurred. Another extremely mar
row escape, almost identical with that
of the Gascogne,is reported recently.
The City of Rome, when approach
ing the Irish coast in a fog, ran upon
the famous Fastnet Rock. Fortu-
nately the danger was discovered in
time to reverse the engines, sand the
steamship escaped with injuries that
are not deemed serious. At all events,
after calling at Queenstown she pro-
ceeded toward Liverpool. These re-
peated accidents will serve to impress
the necessity of unusual caution on
the mind of every prudent command

Mr.. Mckinley Was Right.

When Mr.. Mckinley in his recent
notable tariff speech in Congress de-
clared that our exports are larger
now than ever before his statement
specifically denied by several hasty
Democratic organs, the Boston Globe
we believe, among the number. But
it turns out that Mckinley was well
within bounds in his assertion. Our
total exports for the ten months end
ing April 80, according to that reli-
able Democratic newspaper, the New
York Journal of Commerce, were
1892, 100000. If the same ratio
were maintained for the following
two months we would have an expor-
tation for the current year of $3.50,
900, 900. Now even in the year 1881,
when there was such an abnormal
foreign demand for our breadstuffs
and provisions, our exports were
only SJO2, ,OOO,OOO. Our exports for
the present year, however, exceed
even this extraordinary figure nearly
$50,0O0,000, and leaving 1881 out of
consideration, there is no other year
in which our exports have come with
in $10O, 100000 of those of 1890.
Mr.. Mckinley, therefore, was right,
and his Democratic critics were mis-
taken. "The protective tariff places
an embargo upon commerce" is the
theory of the Democratic press and
politicians. But the facts are that
we are exporting more than in any
other period of our history.

vessels at a lower speed in thick and
stormy weather, or through the ice
berg region. There is much to hope
therefore, in the action which the
British Board of Trade is said to be
about to take in the direction of re-
pressing ocean racing. The Continen-
tai countries would naturally follow
suit. A system of navigating the
great liners would be adopted more
in accord with comfort and security,
and the danger that the present rec
ord-breaking craze may any day re-
suit in catastrophe that will shock
humanity would be greatly lessened,
if not entirely avoided.-Jou1Wdl.
