DEMOCRATIC WOOL DUTIES.

Speaker Crisp on the Effect of tho Springer
FREQ Wool Bill.
Wepassed bill known as the Springer
wool bill. We put raw wool on the free
ist-made it absolutely free. We did
not intend to hurt the farmer when we
did it, because, in a proper sense, the
Australian and other foreign wool
brought into this country is not in com.
petition with American wool. It Is an
auxiliary-an aid-necessary to mix and
mingle with it to make the various kinds
of goods that we want.
And then, again, the Democrats gener-
ally are in favor of free raw materials
to enable our manufacturing establish
ments to obtain their materials more
cheaply. We put wool on the free list,
but we did not stop there. We reduced
the tariff on wooden goods from an av-
erage specific and ad valorem rate equiv
alent to SO per cent, which is where the
Mckinley law puts it, to an average of
less than 80 per cent. That is the reduc-
ton proposed in the bill which passed
the house. Now last year there were
brought into this country $35, ZOO, 600
worth Of wooden goods, and upon thost
goods there was paid into the federal
treasury a tax of $50, 100000. That is a
great deal more than this average of 80
per cent. that I told you about. The
tariff on some articles is much higher,
and on some articles it is lower. The
wooden schedule is among the highest.
Last year $35, o0O,O 900 worth of wooden
goods came here from abroad to be sold
in competition with the American
wooden products, and those goods paid
$32, 100000 tax. The American consum.
ers Of those foreign goods paid $67, 000,.
600 for $35, 0OO, 900 worth of goods. They
got $35, O00,0 900 worth of goods and
$32 200, 900 worth of tariff when they
bought them. Now, if the American
people consume five times as many goods
of domestic manufacture as they do OF
imported goods, then the American peo-
pie paid five times So, 000, 900 in the way
of increased price on goods of American
manufacture, and therefore they paid
$3.50, OO0, 900 in round numbers for goods,
and at the same time they paid about
$145, 0O0, 900 in round numbers for pro-
lection on wooden goods.
Now the Democrats believe that fo1
the same amount of money you ought
to be able to buy more goods and less

DIFFERENCE IN INDEMNITTEs.

The statement that the United States
will offer to the Italian Government a gift
of 10O,O 900 francs for the relief of the FAM
lilies of the men lynched at New Orleans
indicates settlement on the lines of that
made with China for the Rock Springs
massacre. 1t is specified in both cases
that the payment is not to be taken as an
acknowledgment of responsibility, but
will be made as an assurance of interna-
tional good will and friendliness. This is
rather Pickwickian; but as it comprises
the relief of the families of the lynched
Italians it will afford a practical settle
ment of the controversy.
At the same time it cannot be lost sight
of that the difference between this $40, 900
and the claims for 100000 filed against
Chile, is rather stunning. The $4,000 is
the sum which is expected to balance the
killing of eleven men in New Orleans; the
100000 is the estimate-not yet endorsed
by our Government-for the beating and
kicking of score of our sailors at VAL
paraiso and the killing of one of them.
Such contrast suggests that the profit
of the proverbial operation of buying a
man at the general estimate of his value
and selling him at his own estimate could
be completely cast in the shade by the
national wealth to be obtained from mob
bing men in our cities at the New Orleans
valuation and having our sailors mobbed
in foreign ports at the Valparaiso valua-
ton.
Is it to be deduced from this difference
hot in, Vo lror ic hnn
times as much as in New Orleans? Or is
it to be explained by the abundance and
cheapness of Italians as compared with
the scarcity and high price of American
sailors?

THE ROAD OF TIE Future.

The contributor to THE DISPATCH who
suggests, in the article published yester-
day, the use of iron tracks for the i'm
provement of country roads makes very
important addition to the stock of ideas
on the subject With the details of his
argument we are unable at all points to
agree, as we shall briefly point out. But
as to the result, there is no doubt that the
laying of an iron track similar to street
car rails would effect a most thorough
economy in power, as well as greatly
lessen the cost of repairs, by avoiding the
cutting up of the ordinary surface.
1t is necessary to except first from the
assertion that the cost of roads improved
on the Macadam or Tilford plan is pro-
hibitive. True, there are sections where
stone would be so costly as to make the
roads too expensive. Such sections would
have to seek some other wayof improving
their highways; but their strait should not
prevent sections where stone is more ac-
cessible from improving highways at less
cost. Next, while limestone or traps rock
is undoubtedly the best material for dura-
BILE highways, small sections of road can
be found within the limits of Allegheny
which. are vast improvement on mud,
made of cheaper material and at cost
less than $1,000 per mile.
Our correspondents remarks on the
tendency of wheels to cut up any high
way bear very strongly ON the road ques-
ton. But the fact that as our teaming is
done now 1t will cut up almost any road
way in soft weather is an illustration of
our own false practice, not of the i'm
practicability of road Improvement. When
we see the pictures of old world wagons
with immense tires and the rear wheels
projecting far beyond the front, we are
accustomed to regard them as an illustra-
ton of old world conservatism, which is
merely our own ignorance A wagon
carrying weight of two tons with tires
foot wide and the rear wheels projecting
a foot beyond each other will act as a
roller on road surfaces at all softened by
frost or rain; the same load on two or
three-inch tires will plow the roads
up. Pittsburg has spent thousands
of dollars for replacing pavements
cut up by the narrow tires of heavily
loaded iron wagons, while if proper
breadth of tire had been maintained the
motive power required would have been
less and the weight on the wheels would
have solidified the pavements instead of
tearing them up.
Another point for exception is the
theory of our contributor that iron rails
could take the place of further improve

STRIKING AT THE SUGAR TRUST
A Movement to Fight the Combination and
to Repeal the Duty.

PHILADELPHIA, April 1.-The opposition
which was developed among the wholesale
grocers, sugar brokers and others in interest
sugar combination of the three sugar re-
f1neries of Harrison, Frazier & Co., E. C.
Knight & Co., and Claus Sprecels here
has crystaliZed into movement to make a
fight in congress against the Trust. The
first step will be the introduction of bill in
the House at Washington to repeal the duty
of one-half a cent a pound on refined sugars,
which, it is claimed, serves no other pur-
pose now since there is but one interest but
to allow the Trust to control the prices ab-
solutely of both refined and raw sugars. The
bill has beer. prepared by Samuel Gustine
Thompson, an eminent member OF the Phil
adelphia bar.
Since the American Refineries' Company,
the successor of the trust has acquired the
three big refineries in this city, thus getting
control of all of any Importance in the
country, the price of granulated sugar has
been advanced one-half a cent pound,
while at the same time raw sugars have
declined almost as much, from the fact that
there is now no competition for the raw
product. Sugar brokers who contract with
the West Indian growers for the sale of their
shipments OF sugar have been compla ming
loudly during the past week of the fact that
they are at the mercy of the combination,
because there is but one buyer of product.
An effort has been made to build a new in
dependent refinery but the projectors have
found it rather difficult to secure subscrip-
tions to the stock of the enterprise on
account of the well-known methods OF
hostility employed by the trust to crush out
rivals. 1t is claimed that one-fourth of the
present duty would prevent the importation
of refined sugars and protect both consumer
and re6ner
