LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.



SIR: Is il FIVE or six cents? That Is
what the patrons Of the Wilmington
City Passenger Railway Company, would
like to fnd out. The Hon. John P
Donahoe, President of the State Senate
says Eve while the drivers confirm the
notices placed in the cars and say six
cents for cash fares II Mr.. Donahoe is
light the company is wrong, and vice
versa. have seen people pay FIVE cents
without question from the drivers
have also seen people buy change
and receive ticket representing
six cents and four pennies for dime.
From what l have learned and seen I
conclude the company is acting in q
vacillating and catchpenny manner
II the law is in force and the company
does not intend to defy it. why does II
not come up manly and complyf Does
the company intend TO defrsud the class
of people that cannot buy tickets, they
being Of the working class and the least
able to lose this 20 per cent. advauce2

PRISON STATISTICS.
Interesting FIsaros Concerning the Son
fences of Prisoners.


WASHINGTON, Sept 3.-The Census
ONCE has issued a bulletin which furn-
ishes statistics as sentences imposed by
the courts upon prisoners in peniten-
tiarios. OF 1925 prisoners in peniten-
tiaries, So were not sentenced, 2,4s6were
serving sentences Of less than one year,
81, 757 had been sentenced to imprison-
ment for definite term OF years, 2,6SS
for life, Il during their minority, and
90 were under sentence OF death await
ing execution.
4 tendency to greater severity Of sen.
tenco is apparent in the South and
West.
The average sentence OF q native white
convict of native parents is 5 years and
20 days; OF a foreign born convict D
years and 1893 days, and OF II colored con-
vict 8 years and 1888 days.
The average sentence OF male con-
Wet is 5 years and 2S5 days and OF o
female convict 4 years and 2l5 days.
The differences between the average
sentences in the different States, the
bulletin says are surprise. They range
from years and $3.50 days in Rhode IS
land to l2 years and 1l6 days IN Missis-
sippi, and seem to be governed by no
discOverable law.

1t is now over ten months since the
enactment of the Mckinley tariff law,
and it will be interesting to note how
the many statements pro and con
made concerning this measure stand in
the light of the facts and such figures as
are available at this time.
Tic friends OF the Mckinley bill as
serted that its enactment would result
in a reduction Of the revenue; that
there would be larger importation of
merchandise free Of duty; that greater
encouragement would be given to in
dustries already existing, and that new
industries would be started.
On tho other hand, the opponents of
the measure stoutly denied that there
would be q reduction OF tho revenue
from custom duties, and predicted m
increase. They assured US that the sur
plus in the treasury would be greater,
that importations Of free mercandise
would be much less, but admitted the
manufacturing industries would flourish
because OF increased duty
They asserted that our foreign trade
would be grcatlyinjured ifnot destroyed,
for ign markets would DO closed to our
prot Iucts, prices would be greatly In
creased upon Ill necessities and the
farming interests would be still more
deprea'ed.
Now, what arethc facts as they APP
pear alter ten months trial OF the new
tariF, and do the available statistics
sustain the assertions OF those who
favored or of those who opposed this
measure? First, as to the reduction OF
the revenue, which was the primary
object of the bill, Us rccited at its head,
"An act to reduce the revenue, etc"
