THE TARIFF AND RAILROAD CH4RaES

Being challenged by Messrs. Halliday & Co.,
of Baltimore, "The Daily Commercial Bulletin "
of this city undertakes TO Justify the following
assertion: When it is considered that the ma
terials and labor required in the construction ana
oDerating of our railroads aso increased in cost
on an average probably fully 30 per cent
through the operation of the protective policy,
il will be seen that our transportation is costing
us some 1926, 200, 900 per annum more than it
need" More than column and half is ex-
pended by 1.-The Bulletin" in an effort to show
that during period of thirty years the average
enhancement of all prices in this country mas
been over 80 per cent. If this were true, it
would not be in the slightest degree juStifica-
ton of the assertion made by that paper that in
the wear 1891 the gross railroad earnings being
about S1,080, 100000 transportation " is cost
ING Ills some 1928, 600, 900 per annum more than
it need" The enhancement of prices may have
been more than 80 per cent at any former
period, and yet may be nothing now The as
serton challenged by Messrs. Halliday was that
there is now certain enhancement OF COST and
this assertion "The Bulletin in its long article
does not even attempt to defend.
Ii will not do to say that the present cost of
transportation by railway is determined by the
original cost of building roads ten twenty or
thirty years ago, for even if it could be shown
that this original cost was at that time enhanced,
it is notorious that very large proportion of tho
railways do not now earn dividends on their
stocks and many do not even earn interest on
their bonds Stocks and bonds OF many rail-
roads built one, two or three decades ago have
been scaled or extinguished by foreclosures, so
that their present nominal capital has nothing to
do with their first cost, and neither has their
first cost anything to do with their charges for
transportation.
If 1.-THE Bulletin means to admit that the
wages of American labor have been advanced
throughout the country as much as 80 per cent
under the operation of protective duties, the ad-
mission may be noted for future reference But
it is acknowledged by foreign manufacturers and
railroad men who have visited this country and
carefully examined atfails here that the higher
efficacy of labor secured by higher wages hege to
great extent counterbalanceS the difference in
wages paid, and it is the demonstrable fact that
American railroads are operated with a smaller
number of men to the mile than the foreign rail-
roads. The advance in wages of labor does not
therefore involve anything like a corresponding
advance in the cost of labor.
Next as to the cost of materials, it will not be
seriously claimed that the stone for masonry.
culverts. bridges and buildings, or the lumber
for such structures and for cars, or the ties .or
the track, or the coal used as fuel, have been in
any considerable part of the country affected in
cost by the tariff. The bare fact that we export
vast quantities of lumber to England, and of coal
to Canada, would suffice for reasonable men on
that point But these items cover a great part
New-York tribune., 1891-08-31

of the cost, not merely Of maintaining and
orera,ing railroads, but also Of the original cost
Sf huilding them. The iron and steel OF every
lind which enter into the construction and
equipment of a railroad form the only impor.
tant item. either in building in operation, that
Is oven supposed to be affected in price by the
toriff materially, and this item amounts to less
than tenth of the cost of the building and
oouipment, and to less than tenth OF the gross
receipts nT of railroads when in operation.
For instance, about 100000 tons OF rails
,vere used for all purposes in this country last
voar costing not far from S65, 100000. IL
would be an extravagant supposition to add hall
os much other iron and steel used in all railway
huldng and maintenance. But even II the
aggregate cost of all this iron and steel were as
much rs 500, 100000 in year. how could 1t
have been enhanced S325,O0O,0OO by the
tariff =? If anybody can show, his explanation
will be awaited with deep interest

GERMAyY'S COMING CHANCELLOR.

Emperor William, having antagonizcd tho
powerful agraiian interests of his monarchy by
the conclusion of a customs union with AuStro-
Hungary. which will enable the latter to i'm
port grain free of duty into Germany, is now
seeking to conciliate them by refusing the pop
Mar demands to reduce the dues on cereals i'm
ported from America. The convention with
Austria does not come into force until after
legislative ratification by the German Rechstag
and tho Austro- Hungarian Delegations, which, In
view of the bitter hostility on the part OF the
landowners to the treaty, is certain to be de-
layed for many months to come, and meanwhile
the Cars ukaSe issued a few weeks ago has
nut an entire stop to all the vast supplies OF
grain which Germany was wont to draw from
Russia.
The result of all this has been that the prices
of cereals in Germany have more than doubled
"A serious consideration in country where
bread and vegetables constitute almost the sole
food of the masses, who are far tCo poor to be
able TO indulge in meat except on great occa-
sions. Their present misery is intense; starva-
ton stares them i'll the face, and unless the
Government finally reconSiders its refusal, and
by reducing the duty on American corn enables
the bakers to lower the price of -four and bread,
the coming winter may witness serious disturb
ances on the part of the hungry and desperate
masses.
Had not Emperor William concluded for pur-
poses purely military and poitcal-but not
economic or commercal-the customs conven-
ton with his ally at Vienna, he would not now
be under the necessity OF conciiating the
| agrarian interests which are power in German
| politics by refusing to reduce the duties upon
| American cereals Fortunately, there appears
to be one man among the young monarch S
counsellors who possesses tie Sagacity to see
| that the popular anger resulting from the
hunger, the want and the starvation of the
masses constitutes a far greater peril to the
administration, and even to the throne, than
the mere ill-will OF the agraran interests whose
moutbpcce Prince = smarck has promised to
| be in the coming sessi n Of the Reichstag. The
statesman in question is Herr Miguel, once a
Socialist leader and Republican, but to-day
Minister of Finance OF the Empire. Until now
he has been successfully opposed by the Chan
cellor General Won Caprivi. But it is probable
that before the cold weather sets in the En-
peror will be brought TO see the urgency of
! following the advice Of Herr Miguel in prefer
| ence to that OF General Won Caprivi and that
we shall witness not only large reduction by
| the German Government Of the duty on Ameri-
| can grain. but also the supelsession of the
patrician and praetoian Chancellor by the ex-

BESUL1s OF THE REVOLUTION.

The results of the Chilian revolution Will De
most important owing to the leading position
Of the nation in Spanish America. The victory
of the Congressional troops at Valparaiso mas
been followed by the speedy occupation OF tne
CAPITAL and the collapse OF the Dictatorship Is
complete. The Provisional Government VIII DO
established in Santiago and period of poliucal
! reconstruction will ensue.
Among the reforms which may be confidently
expected will be a process of decentralization oy
which official pressure will be removed Ill pop
ular elections. This is one of the CHARACTERISTIC
evils of SpaniSh-American politics, ana Since IL
has lain at the root of the grievances OF Une
Congressional party in Chill it is SAFE TO assume
that remedy will be found for it there. bal-
maceda was himself an official candidate sup
ported by his predecessor, and his attempt "
compel the election of successor Oh uisIepu-
table character was the main cause OF the re'o-
luton. Reform will lie in the direction OF pro
vincial home rule and abolition of the Executive
power of appointing local officials who serve 10
perform the functions of election agents. IL Is
probable also that the whole system OF olilcldl
candidates will be undermined, and that tne
Pr ;ident will be brought more directly uhuer
the control of Congress and subjected to I'M
neacbment proceedings without the opportunity
of anticipating them by closing the iegiSia'No
sessions prematurely

the Provisional Government will repudiate his

to be seen. The treasury, however, is empty
and the finances are in the greatest disorder.
The country's industries are paralyzed It's com
mercal marine on the Pacific has been nearly
DESTROYED, and its material progress IN deyel-
oping the mining resources OF the west Coast
has been seriously retarded. The Chilians are,
however, hardy and energetic race, accls-
toned to battle with nature on the arid slopes
of the Andes and in the rainless belt of desert
seaboard, and they will not be easily overcome
by the difficulties and hardshps of their pres
ent situation. With peace will come political
reform, constitutional revision, industrial enter
nrise and commercial activity. Their future Is
cacure for they are the most vigorous and
patriotic race in South America.

The Central Labor Union paid its respects to
Tammany Hall yesterday by adopting resolu-
tions holding that political machine responsible
for the Park Place disaster through the appoint
ment of incompetent Tammany henthmen as
building inspectors. Very likely there is more
in this phase of the subject than many people
suspect. If the charges of the Central Labor
Union are warranted, they furnish only addi-
tional proof that Tammany touches nothing that
it does not dsmoIaize. The competence of the
inspectors of buildings should be carefully in
ouired into during the pending investigation.
