They Want the Railroad.

The REGISTERS article last week
on the proposed railroad through JEFF
ferson and Berkeley counties, from
North Mountain, say, to Harper 5
Ferry, has caused great deal of com
ment, and the one expression from
the people along the line is, that they
want the railroad We have already
received assurances from enough per-
sons between Shepherdstown and
Harper's Ferry to guarantee the right
of way along nearly the whole dis
lance, and they say that the matter
will receive their hearty aid and en-
enlargement. This is the spirit that
gets railroads. We hope the people
along the proposed line will keep the
subject hot and promptly take such
further action as the circumstances
may suggest. There's no doubt that
a road tapping the iron ore deposits,
the limestone quarries and cement
works between here and Harper :
Ferry would be a good thing and a
paving investment.

Every housewife knows hat with
every touch of the broom locks fly
from her carpet. 1t is not h I'D to un-
derstand this when we find that in 1870
in the carpet manufacture the proper
ton was so of wool and 20 OF shoddy;
that in 1880 it was 6S parts wool and 81
parts shoddy. What the percentage of
shoddy has become in this year of
grace can only be guessed at by noting
the new expensive and improved" ma
chinery which the carpet manufacture
ers have lately added to their plant to
enable them to spin stuff that hereto
fore has been entirely worthless.
The Dobsons, of Philadelphia, gen.
tlemen whose frankness should not de-
prive them of their repute for being the
most honest of carpet manufacturers,
defending their trade against the charge
of importing carpet woods" for use in
clothing manufacture, estimate that of
So, OOO 900 pounds of carpet material
10, OOO 900 are clean wool, equivalent to
27,OOO 900 pounds raw WOOL 100000
are shoddy and 25,OOO,OOO other mix
lures.
The growth of the shoddy business
has called into being great number OF
factories especially devoted to the man.
ufacture of the stuff, some of which are
concerns of large capacity. One of
these mills, that of f. Muhlhausen &
Co., of Cleveland, o., has been described
in trade journal as the most extensive
shoddy mills in the country, and proba'
bly, the largest in the world. The ca
pacity of the concern is thus stated by
the same paper:
"The production of these mills is very
large, and since the new addition has
been in operation, 10000 pounds per day
has been turned out, yielding an annual
product of about ., 600, pounds. Their
last pay roll shows over 4S0 hands en-
ployed; their help are mostly Bohe-
mians. They have 800 sorters to keep
the material ready for the machines.
This plant was first established in 1871.
SIT is interesting to note the success
which has attended the firm in its busi-
ness and the steady manner in which it
is increasing, the demand for their
shoddies growing larger and larger
every year,

A PROBLEM.
The People Must Consider the Difference
Between Revenue and a Protective |
Tariff

The People Must Consider the Difference
Between a Revenue and Protective
Tariff.
"a revenue tariff" said Mckinley at
the great protection banquet, 'is al
ways paid by the consumer.
Undoubtedly! But with what the
major calls protective tariff the con-
sumer pays not only the duties on the
imported articles, but the increased
tariff price of the domestic article as
we'll Careful investigators have cal
culated that for every dollar of tariff
taxes that the people pay to Uncle Sam
they pay three dollars to protected man.
ufacturerS.
Now it is clearly and flagrantly un-
just to compel the people to pay any
taxes which go, not to the government,
but to private individuals. All the
specious talk about building up do
mestic industries, patronizing home en-
terprises, developing a home market
and all that can never make the plain
people of this country believe that they
can be enriched by taxation, or that
taxing themselves for the benefit of
more favored persons can ever be
either just or necessary.
People of ordinary common sense will
never believe that taxation is anything
better than necessary evil; yet an
evil to be submitted to, for governments
cannot exist without taxation, Where,
however, they are compelled under the
mockery of law to go beyond the legiti-
mate needs of the government and pay
three dollars to some prosperous pro-
tected manufacturer for every one dol
lar they pay the government, they may
submit to this eXtortion for time
through ignorance; but once the people
find out the amazing character of this
so.called american system" it will be
cold day for those who are now warm
ing their toes at the public stove.
Meantime the problem for the people
TO solve is this: If revenues are to be
raised by tariff duties at all, is it not
far more economical to put those duties
on articles not produced in this country
at all, so that every dollar Of taxes paid
shall go to the government, rather
than put protective duties on goods
made in this country and thus put into
operation system of private taxation
far more burdensome than public taxa
ton? In either case the tariff is tax;
but under protection the tariff is three
or four taxes rolled into one. Let the
public choose.

UNBLUSHING SHODDY

Boldly Advertises Itself-Spcclmen Advcr-
tlscmcnts-A Great American Industry,
The great use made Of shoddy by our
manufacturers has called forth in the
advertising columns of our woolen
trade journals host of advertisements
of shoddy establishments The shoddy
men have become bold, and publish
their business to the world In their
eageness TO get customers they have
so crowded the columns Of the woolen
trade papers that one finds in these
about as many advertisements Of shod-
dy as Of wool. The latest number Of
the American Wool Reporter, the lead
ing journal in our woolen business,
contains over forty advertisements Of
firms which handle shoddes wastes,
extracts, etc
II is worth while TO reproduce few

that the people may see with their own
eyes how this great American tariff In

How the Use of Shoddy Has Grown-Fig.
ures Which Startle The Nations Cloth
and why 1t Does Not Last.
The extent to which shoddy is worn
by our people cannot be known with
any exactness. The latest figures on
the subject are for the year 1880. The
figures for last years census will not be
known for several years yet 1t is
Doubtful however, whether any statis-
tics about the shoddy business can be
relied upon. The business has always
been looked upon by the people with a
large measure of contempt, Hence it
would not be too much to assume that
many shoddy makers find ways to evade
the census takcr
Such figures as we have, however, we
are compelled to use; and until the re-
suits Of Porter's census are published
we must content ourselves with the
census Of 1880, According to that CEN
sus the raw material put into our
woolen goods were as follows.

The wool as .epolted in the above
table is wool in the grease. 1t is esti-
mated by the treasury department, and
by the ways and means committees OF
congress in making up the wool duties,
that wool in the grease will shrink in
washing and securing to one-third Of
its weight Calculating the shrinkage,
however, even on u more generous
basis than this, say at so per cent in
stead Of 6G26, IL is found that our 29?,-
009, b3l pounds Of wool, above reported,
becomes 11s,f6,s0l pounds. In other
words, our "wooen goods" in 1880 were
made Of 1lS parts Of pure wool to l0S
parts of shoddy, hair, cotton or other
substitutes,
Tho growth Of the shoddy business
from 1870 TO 1880 Is shown by the Mct
that In the former year our shoddy
mills used l0,372,OO2 pounds Of raw
shoddy, and In 1880 the amount had
risen to b2,l3O, 096 pounds on secured
basis, which Is equivalent TO 10000, 900
pounds OF raw shoddy, II Is certain,
too that the increase In the use of
shoddy has gone on steadily since 1880.
The shoddy makers take their place
now in the advertising columns Of trade
papers and in their market reports as
holding place among our most re-
spectacle industries, The men who
mine gypsum and other minerals for
