WHAT OF THE OFFICES O.?

We refer in another article this morn
ing TO an interview which exJudge
Hagan. Of Idaho, represents that he has
recently had with Mr.. Cleveland. Judge
Hsgan, speaking of the drift Of Mr.. Cleve-
lands mind, says:
Il think he will be more partisan In his
appointments TO office than he was be-
fore, because he ~ surrounded by a differ
ent element in politics. In other words,
his administration will be thoroughly In
accord with the Democracy and its lead
ers."
This will be a very gratifying announce
ment to the great body Of the Demo-
cratic party. 1t cannot be denied that Mr..
Cleveland's attitude towards appointment
to office during his previous administra-
ton caused very widespread and deep
seated discomfort in the ranks Of the
party. That discomfort was not confined
to the office-seeking element Of the party.
Many of it's wisest and most sagacious
members thought that his disposition to
reward party loyalty and service should
have been stronger than 1t was. Parties
are absolutely necessary to good govern
ment. and it is but natural that he who
endures the heat and burden of the day
should, having equal qualifications, think
his claims for party reward superior to
those Of the sluggard or the theorst
pure and simple. 1t is not possible to
maintain the necessary party discipline
or to keep party elan up TO what it should
be unless active partisans may reasonably
expect proper recognition for their ser
vices when victory crowns their efforts;
and this is the accepted theory Of the
civilized world. We cannot be better than
the best thought Of the world If we would,
and 1t is unwise to attempt to be so.
In our mind Presidents duty in this
matter is very plain. There is an act OF
Congress-the Civil Service law-which
places certain positive restrictions upon
the President in this behalf. These he
must respect and obey in good faith and
without equivocation. 1t cannot be thought
Of for moment that the head Of the law
shall set an example evading the law.
But when the Civil Service law imposes
no restrictions or obligations upon the
President he should look upon the offices
at his disposal as proper rewards for
worthy and active members Of his own
party. We cannot have an efficient party
unless this is TO lie the law OF the case.
and good government will not endure
without live, vigorous. fighting parties.

The William and Mary Quarterly.
the Editor of The Times:

To the Editor of The Times:
Allow me to join you in hearty common
dations of the William and Mary Quar-
terly.
The current number, which you edito-
rally notice, is full Of interesting and
valuable matter relating TO Virginia his
tory, biography and genealogy, and
President Tyler deserves great praise for
so SUCCESSFULLY filling "a long felt want"
But / have one criticism to make, which
I believe will be general among the Vir-
ginia readers Of the Quarterly, and that is
in regard to the frequent uncomplimen-
tary illusions to New England.
The old-time theory of ignorant Vir-
ginians that New England was settled en-
tirely by Puritan peasantry and Virginia
solely by high-born cavaliers is now
laughed at by well-informed men. North
and South.
The Puritan party in Great Britain had
in it thousands Of men OF the best birth
Of the nobility and gentry. 1t is impos-
sible to make any inference as to a mans
origin from what his political affiliations
in the great English struggle for liberty
were. Both parties in contemporaneous
and subsequent publications lied and
slandered each other without stint
The gentry q use this for lack Of a better
nance of Virginia and Of the New Eng
land colonies was composed Of very SINH
lar elements. There are in each section
representatives of the more ilustrious
houses of England, while the remainder.
the vast majority, were descended from
the minor gentry and merchants. There
is as much good blood in New England as
in any other part Of our country. and
on account OF their care full preservation
and publication Of their records and their
extensive researches i'm England they are
probably able to give much better reasons
for their belief in their ancestry than we
can.
Instead Of abusing New England let us
initiate her in the preservation Of our re-
cords, at least, as our poverty forbids at
present such extensive research and
foreign publication as they have under
taken. a TUCKAHOE VIRGINIAN.

THE PROFIT OF STEEL RAIL MANI
FACTURERS.

A special dispatch from Washington to
the Baltimore Sun represents ex-Judge
Albert Hagan, Of Idaho, as stating that
he has seen and had a fun talk with Mr..
Cleveland siLce the election He said:
well, from what have seen, l believe
MT Cleveland is going TO be more agrees
sive than he was before. / believe he is
going TO insist upon his tariff reform
idea even further than was foreshadowed
by his famous tariff reform message
and II will be essentially a tariff for
revenue only, and that / believe is what
the country wants"
This is good news, and II is to be hoped
that Judge Hagan has correctly diagnosed
Mr.. Cleveland's frame of mind.
We know nothing which puts in clearer
light the infamies and injustice OF the
protective tariff than the conditions under
which steel rails are now manufactured
and sold. AL the statements we are
about to make come from the columns
OF the Iron Age, an extreme protective
Journal and they can. therefore, be de-
pended upon as entirely correct.
Up to few years back there was sharp
competition in the manufacture of steel
rails. but some three or four years back
these manufacturers pooled their issues,
The times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1890-1903, 1892-11-16

and all the steel rails used In this country
are now manufactured by six firms, which
are the Lackawana Coal and Iron Com
| pany at Scranton. Pa, the Pennsylvania
Steel Company at Steelton. the Bethle-
| hem Iron Company at Bethlehem, the
Carnegie steel Company at Pittsburg. the
North Chicago Rolling Mil at Chicago
and the Maryland Steel Company at
| Sparrow's Point. AS these six firms, act
| ing in concert, manufacture all the rails.
| they fix the price for them, and the rail-
roads have to buy their rails at the prices
set by them.
They sell rails at the mill ir Pittsburg
at $50 per ton, at New York at s32, and
at Chicago at s33. Steel rails sell in
Europe at 1880 the ton and the tariff
Is 1894 per ton, which would make
European rails laid down in New York
$32.14 per ton plus the ocean freight
We see. therefore. that the American
trust puts their price in New York up 10
the last cent that can be realized by a
monopoly. but just under what European
rails can be brought mere lor.
We turn now to the cost Of manufac-
turing steel rails to determine the profit
that the protected barons make. and we
are fortunately able to figure this out
almost to a cent.
Before the manufacturers formed their
combination some four years back and
while they were competing, steel rails
sold in America at s26 the ton. At that
time Bessemer pig, from which these
rails are made, sold for $40 per ton. We
know then that seven dollars covered the
cost of manufacture and made a profit
that justified the manufacture Of rails.
II is perhaps fair to assume the cost OF
manufacture as about Sc the ton. Since
the combination has been formed, there
being no longer any competitors for
Bessemer pig, the barons have forced
the price OF it down to $3.50 the ton. They
pay then $3.50 per ton for the pig, and
It costs them Sc per ton to manufacture
the rails. All above this that they get
is clear proft-in other words they make
ton of Manufactures have just had their
annual meeting, and 1t came out in that
meeting that the amount manufactured
in the year TO end January /, 1893, is
1900, 900 tons Ten dollars per ton on that
quantity is $lSOOO,OOO that these six manu-
facturers make each year out Of the
American people that they would rot
have to pay If the protective tariff on
rails were repealed. The railroads, of
course, have to pay this sum in the first
instance, but it enters into the cost Of
the construction OF the road. and the
public must pay 1t in the form of In
creased rates for transportation.
Now, can any man give a sensible rea-
son why the American people should
voluntarily impose this huge burden upon
themselves for the benefit Of the six
manufacturers named? And the same
thing will be found true Of all other pro-
tected industries when they are critically
looked into.

GOING OUT OF BUSINESS.

The Mail and Express. whose name
might at this time very appropriately be
changed 10 "the Wall OF Distress" comes
out, in its issue of Monday with dole
fu tale OF how seven manufacturing
| firms of the North have either reduced
| their outputs or threatened to suspend
| business altogether, on account OF the
| overwhelming dict OF the people In
| favor of Tariff Reform. IL declares that
| this proves how the injurious effect OF
| Democratic success is already being felt,
and n predicts much dire misery for the
| future.
These poor fellows who are so umid
abort their business, because they know
that the time is coming when they VIII
no longer be permitted TO levy tribute
upon the people for their benefit. are
rather overreaching themselves In try
ing 10 get I'D. so early, a feeling in the
country against the triumphant Demo-
cracy. That the Democratic party VIII
undoubtedly reduce the tariff to revenue
basis is most true. but 1t will go about that
difficult task y it'll wisdom, prudence and
discretion. II does not propose to cause
any shock whatever to the business in
terests Of the country. but to so legislate
as TO enable these interests to accommo-
date themselves, without jar, to the
changed conditions of our economic
system. Its first aim will be to bring the
country, by safe degrees, down from a
tariff law. enacted so as TO give few
manufacturers absolute control Of the
home market and place the vast body OF
consumers at their mercy. to the posi-
ton OF a tariff for revenue such as is
demanded by the people. These North
ern firms who, If the Mail and Express
speaks truly, have already decided TO go
out Of business have, therefore, gotten
scared too soon.
But suppose these men do go out OF
business, what is that compared to the
benefits which revenue tariff will con-
fer on millions upon millions Of Ameri-
can citizens? The true object Of good
Government is to ensure the greatest
good to the greatest number. and to make
the masses happy and prosperous at the
expense of the classes, instead Of revers-
ing the situation and making the classes
rich at the expense Of the masses. There
in lies the great difference between the
two parties, the Republicans seeking TO
accomplish the latter, while the Demo-
Gratis have always contended for the
former. II the welfare Of the masses
demand that any number Of protected
monopolsts shall cease business rather
than enjoy the privilege of exacting tri-
butte Of their fellow citizens then they
will have to do so, that's all.
The Democratic party has been placed In
power for the express purpose Of protect
ing the people against the impostions Of
monopoly, and it will do 1t even If every
manufacturer in the country has either
to sell honest goods at honest prices or
retire from business upon the vast sums
they have already accumulated by taxa
ton OF the people for their especial bene-
fit To this fact the NJ. and Z. and all
Of It's monopolist favoriug contemporaries
might as well now be reconciled.
