that they will investigate all the

The following is from an article in
the Philadelphia Press, entitled,
Blessings of Protection:
"A. Flanagan & Bro. are satisfied
that business is looking up. Double
reeled yarns, little finer grade than
gray yarns, have advanced over "a
per cent, and the dealer is beginning
to run after the manufacturer.
"James Leach, of the Ashland mills,
manufacturer Of woolens and wor.
steds, said Kentucky jeans and shoddy
jeans we're going up. and all the higher
class wool goods are advancing.
"Carter e. Lord, manufacturers Of
blankets and yarns, said the business
prospects were good. Confidence is
restored and the prices of all kinds of
stock are ruling higher"
The Press promptly announced in
its news columns some time ago, the
fact that the Philadelphia manufac-
turers had increased the price of car
pets, saying, "there has been an ad-
vance Of 10 cents a yard, and the
price may go to 10 cents yard higher
yet"
Hardware, in its issue Of December
10, discoursed with much satisfaction
concerning "the tariff on scissors"
and ended by saying:
"The recent legislation will thus be
seen to fix the rate on scissors at a
higher figure than any preceding
schedule. 1t is understood that the
leading firms have increased prices. in
consequence, about 10 per cent. The
charges imposed upon cartoons under
the customs admistration bill have al
so had an effect upon the prices of
these goods"
1t is not the imported article alone
that has been effected thus agreeably
to producers, for at least two domestic
manufacturers have announced an in.
crease in the price Of shears and other
cutlery.

Secretary Window asked the House
lately for $4,000 with which to pay
duties on imported goods used in the
equipment of lighthouses. Under the
old law the government paid no duty
on goods imported for its use. Mr..
Mckinley explained in the House on
May 7, that under the new law "the
government will pay the same duties
which its citizens generally are requir-
ed to pay" Speaking of the articles
to be used in lighthouses, Secretary
Window wrote:
"The duty on the parts which are
mostly of glass is 60 per cent, and
on the parts made mostly of metal As
per cent. The fourth-order apparatus
costs, say, 100000 in France, or, say,
$4,000, the duty on which will be, say,
half that amount. Certain other ar
ticles needed in the establishment of
lighthouses, and not made in this coun-
try, are also imported and are subject
to duty under the new law"
In this case the foreign manufac-
turer will not consent, it seems, to pay
the duty, and the Secretary of the
Treasury has fallen into the deplora.

is a tax.-Ex.

Begin on the Roads.

~o>~ 49, ~~>~ ~~~S~~
The farmer driving his load of
wheat, corn, and other farm produce
to market or the elevators. stops his
meditation, or his talks on the high
rates of railroad transportation and
ocean freights, to lash his horses as
they get stalled in the mud or to
express his feelings at the roughness
of the road as he bumps along; or to
stand aghast and desperate as bad
hole wrenches the wheel from its hub,
or breaks an axle or the tongue, as he
wobbles along over the country road.
He probably never dreams that the
time consumed as he pulls along at a
slow walk, the straining of his horses
or the wear and racking of his vehicle
are adding more to the cost of trans
portation than the whole length of
the railroad from his State to the sea
coast.
The loss from the mud, the ruts,
the holes, the frozen roughness and
the hills and valleys of the country
road, improperly laid out in the first
place and badly maintained always,
are among the causes of the farmers
hard lot in life. They increase the
cost of every bargain he makes. They
cut off his intercourse with his neigh
bors and make communication with
nearest town or village difficult. They
thus add to that loneliness and isola-
ton which make his existence dreary
and weary and thus prevent his ex-
changing ideas and coming to better
understanding with his fellow farm
ers on the subjects they are most in
terested in.
The improvements of the country
roads is one of the themes of Gov.
Winans' message, who knows how it
it is himself. 1t is the topic of dis
cussion IN several states. Pennsylvan-
ia has passed a law on the subject.
Agricultural colleges are beginning
to give instructions in the art, and
schools of technology are offering
premiums for the best plan and the
best roads for the rural communities.
Gov. Winans contents himself with
merely referring to the subject. Gov.
Hill, of New York, recommends the
State to build two principal intersect-
ing roads that shall run through all
the counties OF the State to serve as
models for the counties in road build
ing.
Better country roads is one of the
reforms the farmers need more than
some they are asking for.-Detroit
journal.

Why Not Call Out the Troops -?

We should like to have the think
ing Republicans and there are a
good many of them in private life
think of the things that are now
going on in several State capitals. In
Connecticut the Democratic candidate
for Governor had, beyond dispute
even by Republicans, more than 5000
votes more than the Republican can.
ditate had, and on the face of the re-
turns he has more votes than all his
competitors, and yet the Republican
branch of the Legislature is keeping
him out Of his Office and has already
kept him out of his Office until the
Governor de facto assumes to say that
the time within which he could be de-
clared elected has expired, and that
he, the old Governor, has a right to
hold the Office another year.
In Nebraska the Republican Gov
ernor assumed to decide that the
Democratic Governor-elect, who had
the greater number of votes, and who
had been declared, was not eligible,
and Governor Thayer attempted to
retain his Office by the aid of State
troops. In the Colorado Legislature
the members are engaged in resisting
each other by physical violence.
In New Hampshire the Democrats
had a majority Of the unquestionably
qualified members. Besides these
there were two groups of claimants
under different laws. One man, a
mere clerk Of the last Legislature,
surrounded by policemen with revolv-
ers in their hands, assumed to consti-
tute the Legislature by enrolling the
names Of the Republican group Of
claimants and emitting the names
of the Democratic group of claimants.
The New Hampshire Legislature, as
it is now constituted, was elected, not
by the people, but by Clerk Jewett
and lot Of armed police officers.
Now, suppose these things were
done in Southern States and the doors
of these violent and usurpatory acts
had been Democrats, would not Sena-
tor Hoar and the New York Tribune
have rent the atmosphere with their
discordant yells that the Federal
power ought to put the Republicans
in each of these cases in power under
that provision of the Constitution
which guarantees each State Ere
publican form of Government ~
National Democrat.
