Can There Be Any Trust In This?

AS readers of the American Econ
omist know, the freight rates on
English railroads are the highest
charged on the roads of any coun-
try, and considering the low wages
paid to their operatives and the
cheapness of money in that coun-
try, they may safely be termed ex-
orbitant. The Associated Cham
bers of Commerce, in Great Brit
ain, have been making an orga-
nized effort for some six years to
have those freight rates reduced,
as they find that their Graders"
can no longer charge such prices
for goods as they please. But the
railway companies of England are
too strong for the manufacturers,
and the Railroad Gazette sums up
one of the results of their efforts as
Follows:
The English GRADERS" do not
seem at all satisfied with the result
of their long continued agitation
for lower freight rates, and the
IRON and Steel Trades Journal, re-
ferring to table showing the
freight rates between Birmingham
and various places on tubes, galva-
nized iron, girder bars, plates,
rough and unfinished castings, wire
not packed, nail rods, axle forego-
ings in the rough, and other iron
goods coming under table A in the
iron list of the Railway Clearing
House Schedule paid at present;
those allowed by the provisional
order of the Board of Trade; and
those claimed in the railway COM
panies' amendment, says; ''The
manufacturers complain loudly of
the old rates, but they are marvels
of cheapness when compared with
the schedule proposed by the board
of Trade, and these again are much
lower than the scale the railway
officials have put forward" The
rates given are as shown below in
cents and decimals per ton mile,
the pound sterling having been
converted at the rate of $4:88:

GREAT CROPS !! !!
Thr ee Harvest Excursions.

The bountiful crops of the Wes-
tern States are great sights for the
farmers of the East to behold, and
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
R. R. is not only willing but anxious
to have the farmers visit Kansas,
Indian Territory, Oklahoma, Texas,
Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, see
the abundant yield and buy home
in the west. Land is cheap, and for
the price of farm in the East you
can buy enough to give large farm
to each member of your family.
August 25th, September 18th and
September 10th are the three dates
selected upon which Excursion
Tickets will be sold to al points
specified below at Cheap Rates.
The excursion tickets will be sold
in Chicago, St. Louis and points in
the state of Illinois, Iowa and
Missouri on the lines of the Santa
Fe Route. And it is probable that
railway lines east Of Chicago and
St. Louis will also sell at these re-
duced round-trip rates. The tick
cts will be sold only on these three
dates, and will be good for return
for thirty days from the date of sale.
They let you stop over at any point
west of Kansas City or St. Joseph.

On the Arctic Circle.

Washburton Pike, an English ex-
plorer, has returned from the Arctic
circle. Leaving Calgary in June,
1886, Mr.. Pike proceeded to Atha-
dasca Landing, and from there to
Fort Resolution, on Slave river.
Here he secured the services of two
Indian guides and helpers and start
ed for the barren lands in search of
musk OK, caribou and other large
game. He had a very successful
hunt, killing about forty musk OK
and as many caribou as they were in
position to handle. On that trip
Mr.. Pike went as far north as Fish
river, this being the river on which
Franklin's first expedition to the
north pole was lost. He experienced
many adventures. The party was

Maximum

It will be noticed that the aver
age haul is 81 miles and the aver
age charge is 2. 534 cents at pres
ent, and the provisional orders al
low this charge to be advanced by
40 per cent, to 3.544 cents on an
average, while the companies claim
an advance to 4. 123 cents as an av-
erage. These last mentioned prices
would make railroading very pleas
ant if the roads could get freight to
carry at such rates.
Free TRADE newspapers will nei-
Their copy nor refer to either this
article or to the fact that an Eng
lishman, under Free Trade, has to
pay about two and half times as
much for having ton of freight
carried mile on the average as an
American pays. But in Free Trade
times and until Protection had in
creased the number of iron mills in
this country and cheapened the
cost of everything except labor and
land, that is involved in the con-
struction, operation and mainte-
nance of a railroad, there is no
doubt that our freight rates were
higher than those of England, in
stead of having averaged less than
one cent for carrying a ton one
mile, as they have for the last four
wears.

lost for fourteen days and endured
terrible suferings. They started to
cross the Yukon range of mountains
to the Pacific coast. After journey
ing for some twelve days they found
that instead of being as they sup
posed on Mcleod river, they were
on what afterward turned out to be
the Nation. Here the guides ad-
mitted they were lost, and nothing
remained for the party to do but re-
trace their steps, which they did with
but enough provisions for few days.
In two days they were out OF food,
and, to make long story short, they
starved for fourteen days.
Mr.. Pike absolutely refuses to say
anything of their tortures during the
time, but many facts were CLEANED
from those who saw them on their re-
turn to the rapids, and were COM
PEELED to feed them as they would a
baby. AS an example of the terri
Bile state of affairs, some hundreds OF
miles were tramped with bare feet on
| ice, and their frozen condition when
rescued was simply terrible, while
some of the party were SO reduced
from cold and hunger as to be total
ly helpless.
When asked to describe the barren
lands Mi. Pike said that it was an
immense tract of barren rock on
which grew kind of moss and shrub,
on which deer that run by thousands
feed and appear tobe very fond of it
There are numerous lakes among
rocky bluffs whose waters freeze IN
the cold season to the depth of from
seven to nine feet. He reports tenn
peratures as low as 90 dogs. in the
winter, but the summer months, July
and August, he says, are very hot.
Six months during the year the sun
never shines on these barren parts.
Mr.. Pike reports moose very scarce
but says there are large numbers OF
musk OK and thousands of caribou
deer. Mr.. Pike is the only white
man who ever trod the path OF the
Franklin sufferers on the Fish river.
Travel during this trip was almost
entirely done on foot, dog trains be-
ing used for the carrying of provis-
ions and wood. The currency is
skins. A skin is valued at fifty cents.

IS Free Trade a Failure ?

Under this heading the London
I.onnaonger's Journal reprints the.
table found in the american Ecoaao-
mast of June 10, showing the rela-
ton between price, production
and duty in the case OF
wire nails, which showed,
as our readers will remem-
Der, that in 1882 we made 90, 600
kegs of wire nails, which sold at the
average price Of 8.32 cents per
pound, and that the duty Of 4 cents
per pound imposed in 1888 raised
the price to 1888 cents per pound /,
SO that while for every 100 pound
key of wire nails a consumer used,
an iniquitous and illogical tariff
levied tax of four dollars, the con-
sumner paid just one cent. And
further, that in 1889, the last year
in which this oppressive tax OF four
cents per pound was levied on our
long-suffering consumers, our pro
duction of wire nails had increased
to 2, 200, 900 kegs and the price had
fallen to 2.96 cents per pound.
Consideration of the table in
duces the journal to say
s'These figures are almost calcu-
lated to cause the bodies of Richard
Golden, Adam Smith, and a host Of
other Free Traders to turn in their
| coffin"

N. C. MIIIer's Body Found

Yesterday morning diver made search
for the body of Mr.. N. G. Miller. who was
drowned In the harbor Tuesday night. In
about Is minutes he discovered the body ly-
ing about 20 feet from the spot where he
was seen to go overheard. There was a
bruise on one side of the head, as if the un-
fortunate young man had struck his head in
falling. The remains were taken to Rich's.
Mr.. Best. who was one of the party on the
yacht Tuesday evening, says that one of Mr..
Stickney's engineers had charge of the boat,
while he steered. At Peaks Island the en-

when Miller returned he had been running
fast and was out of breath. The others on
the yacht were forward with Best, who was
steering, and Miller was sitting on the camp
stool, as has been told, in the stern, talking
with the engineer. The engineer turned to
attend to his engine and when he looked
around Miller was gone. Life preservers
were thrown overheard, but no sound or
struggle was heard or seen. 1t is thought
the deceased may have had an attack of
heart disease. or the boat given a sudden
lurch. Mr.. Miller was 26 years old, had
been in business, had travelled good deal
as sailor and passenger. He was a grand
son Of the late collector Of internal revenue
and of the late Nathan Cummings, collector
Of customs under President Harrison in
1910, and son of Colonel j. Frank Miller.

A New Coffee Pot.

Mr.. Cyrus Fl. Farley has invented a new
method of making coffee that proves great
success. He has piece eff nickel pipe, about
an inch and half In diameter. The bottom
contains sieve, which can be unscrewed
and cleaned. A long rod fits into the tube.
with circular piece Of nickel at one, which
fits into the sieve. The top Of the tube un-
screws to admit the coffee and the water. A
couple of tablespoonfuls of the coffee are
placed In the tube. They are then tamped
down with the rod, Just as charge is ram
med down in an old muzzle-loading gun with
a ramrod. Then the tube is filled with hot
water-not boiling water. A little pipe is
attached to the top of the tube. with an
atomizer bulb at the end. The tube is fast
ened by clamps that can be frightened or
loosened at will to an upright. Then the
bulb is squeezed and the pressure is so great
that all the strength Of the coffee is extract
ed, the water in the tube penetrating the
coffee grains and passing out of the sieve
into vessel placed beneath. When extract
ed the coffee is blood red, and must be weak
ed by hot milk, boiling water and cream. All
the aroma and strength of the coffee are fully
preserved. People who have tried the new
process say the coffee Is delicious,

Tho High School RoiIars.

The City Council appropriated $4,000 for
new boilers and a boiler house for the High
School building. The cost of the boilers
was $11OO. which with the attendant expen-
ses leaves $4,000 for the house. The bids for
the construction of the boiler house, accord
ing to the plans, exceed the appropriation
from $4,000 to $1,000. 1t seems that the
plans require deep excavation and the bid
ders were not sure but they might find a
thick ledge of rock to drill through. 1t
seems likely, however, that in day or two a
satisfactory bid will be received. The occa-
sion for the depth of the excavation is this,
that the boilers may be lower than the base.
ments Of the High School and Chestnut
School buildings which they must warm.
While the boiler house is in process of con
struction the High School will be heated by
the old boilers. With the Green street school
completed the upper stories of the High
School building can be shut off and the
warmth formerly used there can 20 into the
