ROGER @. MILLS is never weary

ROGER O. MILLS is never weary
of contending that in consequence
of the protective tariff the indus
tries of Massachusetts, were decay
ing. The answer to this absurd
statement is found in the fifth an
nual report of the Massachusetts,
Bureau of Labor Statistics on
Manufacturing. A comparison is
made between the returns for the
year 1890 and 1891 in 3,O41 es
adjustments. The average num-
Der of persons employed in these
3,O41 Establishments in 1890 was
2.70 per cent. larger than in 1889.
The greatest number of persons
employed at any one time i'll 1890
was 3OO,227. while in the previous
year 1t was 293,321, or 2.35 per
cent. less. When work was the
SlackeSt last year Zo4,oIf persons
were employed, as compared with
221,SS7 in 1880, or an increase OF
4.2O per cent. in favor of 1890.
The average yearly earnings per
individual, without regard to age
or sex, was $426.S2 in 1889, and
$433.56 in 1890, an increase of 1.5S
per cent. The capital invested in
manufacturing in the state in
creased last year 5.62 per cent.
over the previous year, the value
of the goods made was 4.37 per
cent. greater, and the value Of the
stock used 7.15 per cent greater.

STEEL rails, which have been

greatly fallen in price; the price of
steel rails has been thus reduced
because the production here of 2,

The people Of McMinnville are
clamoring for a redress from the
Southern Pacific railroad company
on rates for freight. We believe
that they have reasons to complain
when we consider that wheat from
McMinnville to Portland is double
the rate charged from Corvallis to
Portland. This is a very partial
regulation on the part Of the rail
road company, and some means
should be devised to have rates
equalized from way points to the
metropolis.

TIE AMERICAN TRAMP.

contributor to "The Contemporary Re-
view" who processes TO have lived for eight
months among the tramps in this country, estl-
mates our permanent tramp population at
go OOO In the absence of official statistics this
rough guess will cause hardly less general sur
prse than the writer's other statement that
fve-eighths of this number are native Amer-
cans. Individual and constant observation, we
believe, tends to prove that tramps are re-
cruited chiefly from among INDECENT foreigners
who flock to these shores with the vaguest ideas
as to occupation, and who drift naturally into
the lowest employment OF the deplaved indo-
lent. As to the alleged utter absence of French
men or Italians from the fraternity, the we'll
known case of the Connecticut leathcr-man
is at once recalled, and, although he was rather
an ordinary vagrant," police records carry
numerous instances of the registry of tramps OF
Latin blood.
According to this actual observer, most tramps
are reduced by drink, while one tenth are prob
ably discouraged criminals. \ tramp calls him

ter of the fraternity includes an extensive list
of slang nicknameS as unreasonable as any
thing in Grosc. There is a suggestive system
Of chalk registration, On railroad watering

formation thus collected is said to be astound-

inhabitant is aware, infestS the railroads and
will travel on the trucks of an express train
or freght-car's buffers if he cannot cajole
trainmen into giving him an outside seat on
the roof. The assertion that freight brakemen
and conductors help these free travellers be-
cause they have once been tramps themselve;
can be true only in rare and isolated cases, al
most and there is more suggestion than history
in the pretencc that trainmen pilfer fIom the
cars expecting to throw the blanc on the
tramps.

AJTACKS ON RECIPROCITY.

Partisan attacks are continued upon the Reel
procity treaties, and mainly without knowledge
of the facts. Certain Democratic journals have
made a sharp outcry against the convention
with Santo Domingo on the ground that wheat
-four is not on the free list nor on the reduced
schedule of duties. The reason for its exclusion
WAS a financial one. The Dominican Govern
ment is wrotchedy poor, and has pledged Its
customs revenues to secure loan from Dutch
syndicate This syndicate has been allowed to
exercise supervision over the collection OF duties.
The duty on flour is 81 20 a barrel, and it is
the chief source of revenue. The negotlatorS
made an earnest effort to obtain free flour, but
were met with the despairing assertion that
the treaty would have to be abandoned II this
were made an absolute condition, as 1t was i'm
possible to give up the revenue and fulfil
financial obligations. They were offered much
larger list OF articles in which American ex-
porters now have very little trade with the
island, such as cottOnS hats, shoes, furniture,
iron goods and papers. They accepted these
concessions the more readily as every barrel
Ct flour now imported by SantO Domingo comes
from the United States. There is no competi-
ton in the flour trade with any other country
as there is in Brazil and Cuba.
Another ground for captiOus criticism is raised
by Democratic journals in the South They
assert that Reciprocity may help The trade in
Northern breadsJuifs and manufactures, but
that it does not promote the interests Of the
south Their attention apparently has not been
directed to the large favors obtained by the
Spanish treaties for the products and industries
of the Southern states. One of the most i'm
portant of these gains is the addition of /" fish,
live, fresh to the free list. Fifteen years ag,
the entire consumption Of fish in Cuba was
supplied from the Florida coast fisheries. 1t
| maintained a large fleet of fishing vessels 1t
| was not only a profitable trade but it also
recruited useful body OF sailors available in
time of war The industry was either de-
stroyed or transferred to Spaniards by the i'm
position OF a prohibitory tariff Reciprocity will
restore a most remunerative coast trade
Rice, moreover, will have preferred market
under Reciprocity, and it is staple article of
consumption in Cuba. Southern lumber, al
ready a large industry with short lines of COM
munication with the island, will be greatly
benefited. Coal, which is now a great South
ern product at the very door of Cuba, will be
free under the treaty. The lOw-grade cotton
! fabrics of the South are already heavily ex-
ported 10 Brazil and South America. large
! market for them will be created in the Spanish
West Indies by Reciprocity. COttOn-seed oil
| will have no competition i'll the Cuban market
The iron products OF the south are also favored
by the recent treaties and several other indus
] tries. Reciprocity 10 not sectional policy.

The death of Mr.. Lowell reminds us with
impressive force of the rapidly diminishing com

the "Bi5low Papers" however, that Lowell S
