Another I3nssscasc Plant for :.:e West
End s.,t-i.crs.

From the Leader OF yesterday re
clip the following:
Several days ago r. \. Bretts, rep
resenting the American Cylindrical
Steel Car company, was III the city to
negotiate for the location Of a plant
for the manufacture of q patent steel
car for railroading and other purposes.
The general scheme includes the
manufacture of all kinds of cars from
steel, using light steel frames, to which
is attached the steel plating. The pTin-
ciple of cylindrical car body, which
has been adopted for strength, com
pactness and simplicity, bids fair 10
become in railroad transportation what
the whaleback is in lake commerce. In
fact, the two are alike in principle.
Manager r. J. Wemyss, Of the
Land s. River Improvement company
of course smiled softly ana very prop
erly expressed surprise when the sub
iect was preached, but impaired the
desired information freely and pleas
:lntly.
1T is not exactly complete said
he, not more than several other indus
tries we are negotiating with. The
representative of the company was
here and we make him a proposition
which he has taken east to submit to
the interested capitalists. If the coGl

sition, it is altogether likely we Shall
secure the industry for Superior
The location, Mr. Weymsss'
Z cannot sly precisely, but near
the steel plant, / think. The idea of
making cars of steel is a winning one.
/ believe that steel ears will just as
surely and rapidly replace the present
wooden structures as the steel ship has
replaced the wooden vessel. The com
pany proposes to manufacture box cars
fiat cars, passenger coaches and all
kinds of cars of steel It viii be great

THE Land & River canpany,s prop
Osition is to donate site of then acres
Of land near the new steel works and
to erect buildings to cost not less than
$4,000.
!" The land company also guarantee
that the West Superior Iron and Steel
works shall furnish steel plates for the
car bodies and other needed material
at certain rates for a specified term OF
years, Tie car con parry viii, it IS said,
employ not less than five hundred men

What glorious tlli,,. it would be
for the East End if bl some trick
of legerdemain we could o game a
real, live, snre-enoagh impre 'emant
company here, with manager 'uiit
after the manner Of Mr. Wemyss.

The DIRECTOR Of the Duplex Wind
mill Company, now located at Brook
lyn this state, desiring to change their
base OF operations. visited this city re-
Gently to look the field over. The
South Superior Improvement Compa-
ny lost nc time in making the com
pany an offer. The officers Of the
company held a meeting at Madison
this week to consider various pro9o-
sitions made them, and on Tuesday
teieGraphed the South Superior Ina
rG0yement Company that their offer
OF assistance had been accepted. The
Windmill company manufacture the
celebrated balanced geared windmill,
a feed grinder, q saw mill and a chara
all branded duplex, and full line OF
farm machinery Of that character.
The company has a paid up capital of
100000 and comes here free of all
liaDilties
The contract with the Soath Super
Tor Improvement { mpanY, which has
landed the concern, is very favorable
one for the company and the city. The
improvement co.nuany gave site OF
six acres on Sixty-fourth street just
west Of the junction Of the Great \ or
ther and Northern Pacific tracks, and
cash bonus under a guarantee that
the windmill company begin operation

II. Ii. Aicintire. The company further
agrees to cause to be erected at least
thirty houses at the South end for the
use OF the members Of the company
and its employees.
The question is naturally asked:
"Why is it that none of these numer-
GUS industries can be secured for THIS

to a blind man that somebody is stand

\ TAX on W isoius


| American Economist
Congressman Scott Wika Of Illinois,
! who seems to have taken this oonor-
tunity to make himself known, intro
ducel & resolution into the Housa of
| Representatives a few days agn, ode
claratory Of some of the principles OF
! Just taxation" It reads as follows:
! Resolved That in the Judgment of

merit 81 originality, if nothing else.
But asi, e from this question, there is
another one. which Mr.. Wike might
do well to answer by including it III
his resolution. The Economist has
never claimed tlat the Thrift is not ::
tax; what it has said is that the Tariff
is not Il tax on the American consum-
er. Whether. how ever, 1t is 4 tax on
somebody else is Z different thing en-
tiryly. The following Clipping, for
Instance, m ght lead one to suppose
that it is:
The firm Of Edward r. Steel s. Co.
have ISSUED y circular with an engrtV-
in Of their new American mall, which
the Mckinley bill caused them to
transfer from Bradford, England, to
Bristol, Pa In this circular they
state that the Mckinley Tariff made
it impossible to longer manufacture

OF course it was-on the foreign

troubling Congressman " ike and

Average Es3ca Fer Cent.

American Economist.
Free Trade dishonesty AMI deceit
is nowhere more conspicuous than in
the statements regarding the average
ad yalorem rate of duty.
The subject Is at best chifGerical
one 1t is like chasing rainbows to
attempt to calculate or anticipate a
future average.
1t cannot be more than guessed at
for the average rate does not depend
on the rate Of duty. but on the value
and amount of importations. Thus
the average al valor2m rate may
change from year to year, while there
has been no change in the tariff what
ever.
The only way, then, IS 10 calculate
on actual values of importations and
duty collected. This VIII not be a true
average. but perhaps the nearest that
can be computed.
Every Free Trade paper i'll the coun
try is still maintaining that the aver
age rate under the Mex iniey Tariff IS
80 per cent. Now, what are the actual
facts2
The latest figures at hanl are those
ending September 50, 1891! During the
twelve months ending on chat day our
imports were valued as follows:
Free of duty S4i9, tti5, 1898
Dutiable H.; .293, 10. IS
Total So, it's sos. 10
Total duties collected du
ring these l2months, aiG2 .0ta, o20. g
1t will be seen, then, that during the
l. months ending September 50. 1891
the average rate of duty on dGtiahle
imports was Il per cent, While on to,
tai imports, the honest Way Of reckon
ing, it was only .3 per cent.

AUSPlClOUS OPENING.

"The Old Bee Hive" in Burlington,
VT, was the great attraction for ladies
the last few days, both in the city and
out. Many ladies from Middeburv and
Nergennes pronounced their display by
far the largest and most attractive in the
the city. The exclusive novelties in for
eign and domestic dress fabrics were
never shown in greater variety by this
house than this season. The "Plisse"
novelties were one of the noticeable
things in their show windows. Printed
silks in plain grounds with colored fig
ures, along with the handsome wool
challies and crepons were beautiful in
the extreme. 1t seemed to be the general
verdict of the ladies that the seasons
goods never were so dainty and artistic.

OBITUARY.

Miss Laura Japan was buried from the
Catholic church on Tuesday. She died
on Sunday, after protracted illness.
Mrs. j. O'Leary, who had been i'll for
many months and had suffered much.
died on Thursday evening of last week.
The funeral was very largely attended at
the Catholic church on Sunday forenoon.
Rev. j. M. Gelot, the pastor, conducted
the service.
DIR. John Draper, superintendent of the
insane asylum at Brattleboro, who was,
it will be remembered, the chief expert
witness for the State in the Chaquette
murder trial last summer, died at his
home on Thursday of last week of pneu-
monia. after an illness of but six days.
He was born at Warwick, Mass, in 1884,
and went to Brattleboro in 1872, when he
succeeded DR.. Rockwell as superintend-
ent of the asylum, a position he had since
held. He had been president of various
medical societies, and his addresses have
always attracted wide attention. The
asylum since it has been i'm his charge
has been made one of the best institu-
lions of the kind in the country, many
substantial improvements having been
made.
