PROTECTION IN PRACTICE.
The Tariff ON steel Rats Has Enabled
the Makers to Fix the Price

The Tariff ON Steel Rats Has Enabled
tho Makers to Fix tac Price.
Tho Engineering and Mining Journal
gives nm exceedingly valuable illustra-
ton OF tho manner in which "a protec-
tive tariff raises it's bcnefciarics above
the operations of the natural law of
trade.
The illustration concerns steel rails.
which are now 81 a ton higher than they
were in 1880, although the cost of pro-
duction and the tariff tax are less and
the demand is slight. The command
of the market, by reason OF the tariff
on rails and the ownership of the Besse-
mer patents, has enabled the railmakers
TO fix arbitrarily the price of their prod
uctS.
The American manufacturers make
much of the fact that improved ma
chinery has greatly increased their out
put, and The Journal estimates that the
cost OF producing steel rails, when tho
manufacturer makes his own pig, can
not exceed $50 ton. In 1885 steel rails
sold at $26 Il ton, and tho cost Of Besse-
mer pig alone was $40. At $50 ton
the profits on the annual output of steel
rails is necessarily between $4,000, coo
and 100000.
That tho protective tariff gives this
enormous dividend TO the makers, who
instead Of Increasing wages are trying
TO cut them down, is shown by an ex-
animation of English prices. In May.
1892. English rails sold for %l9.44 The
duty on this, &l3.44, would make their
price s32.S5, not counting freight and in
surance. 1t is clear therefore that $50
is the price at which the English rails
can be kept out. While the English
price has fallen since 1885 from SOB. II n
ton to $l0.i4, the price of English pig
has risen from $1,000 ton to $12.l5.
In other words, the English maker
pays Slab more for his pig and gets
1913 less for his rails. At the same
time, while the price of American rails
advanced from $?G to $50 ton. the
price of American pig fell from SIT to
b Sli ton, so that the American maker
paid 50 less for his pig and got 81 more
for his product.
This gain he keeps for himself.-New
York World.

sherman. Democratic p-oolivities.

Senator Sherman is one of several
Republican congressman who had TO
struggle with their consciences when
they voted for the Mckinley bill. That
his conscience is not yet fully at ease as

following, spoken in tho senate in July:

M. C. MORRIS ASSAULTED.
Young Wooten Throws Stone
at the ex.Chief.

Ex-Chief OF Police n. Morris
narrowly escaped being seriously in
turned by II. c Wooten, young white
man, yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Morris was standing on Salem
avenue near Laslsey's jewelry store,
when Wooten, who is collector for j.
II. Wilkerson, the butcher, and who is
also employed at Finke &. McClaugherty,
approached and presented him bill
duo Wilkerson for three or four dollars
The two had some words over the pay
ment of tho bill, when Mr.. Morris told
Wooten to go away from Elm. The OK
chief turned to speak to friend and
Wooten walked off. He did not go far,
when he picked up stone and walking
up behind MIR. Morris threw it at him.
Fortunately the stone hit his coat first
and then bounding up struck him on
the back of the head.
As soon as Wooten threw the stone he
dashed into Finke & McClaugherty's and
escaped through the back door. He was
captured shortly afterward by officer
Schanks and looked up. Later in the
day Justice Williams admitted him to
bail in the sum OF 5000, Mr.. Wilkerson
becoming his security. Wooten will
have his preliminary hearing Saturday
afternoon OF 2 o'clock.

How to Kill Rat.

1t is strange how so small thing as
a rat will attract the attention of so
many people. Yesterday evening one
of the clerks in the First National Bank
brought trap out on Henry street con-
tanning large rat which had been COM
hitting depredations in the bank. The
newsboys soon caught on and flocked
around to see the sport. Everyone that
came up stopped, among them some of
the sages of the city. All were alike
interested, and had pet suggestion to
offer as the most eXpedient way to dis
patch him. Two newsboys began to
scrap, but we're separated and their at
t,ntion turned to the rat A negro Toy was
hustled off for rat terrier, which soon
arrived and settled the animated discus
sion as how to dispose of his ratship.

was an overcoat which was stolen from

day Forbes recognized the coat in
Nyburg's store and claimed it. Nyburg
refused to give 1t up unless Forbes

Mayor Evans had regular circus in
his court yesterday morning. The case
was the outgrowth of a free fight over
in Penn's Hall Monday night, when the
colored citizens held 4 mass meeting.
In the melee Andrew Young was hit in
the head by Cornelius Lane.
From the testimony it appeared that
everyone in the room was fighting, and
they were not very careful as to what
weapons they used. One witness testi-
fed that Young grabbed up the table,
on which the secretary was taking min.
utes of the meeting, and these valuable
records were trampled under foot and
destroyed. Lane and Young were both
fined $40 apiece and costs.

GAVE TWO WARNINGS.
a Ghost Which Was Anxious for a
Death Notice.
from the Washington Stor.

From the Washington Star.
No more emphatic non believer in ghosts
can be found in Washington than the chief
of certain departmental bureau, whose
business it is almost wholly to deal with
figures which are not less cold than per-
ambulating specters. This is the story
which he told yesterday:
81 have two sisters and brother Once
! had three sisters, but one of them died in
New Orleans ten years ago. She persisted
OF yellow fever. At the time none of us
knew that she was sick. It was only after
ward that the information was gathered
which makes up the extraordinary account
| am about to giveyou. You may say that
it was a coincidence, and will say that it
was not such. You can judge for yourself
My sister died at $40 O'Clock on the
night of Aug. IA, 1882. At that time an
other sister was in Toronto. Her name is
Mary. She was about to put her child. a
little girl, to bed. AS she entered the bed
room for that purpose the child cried out,
Mamma, there is Aunt Anna The mother
looked and saw her sister Anna Ia the bed.
lying with her head propped up on the pill
lows and looking as if she were dying. The
vision disappeared Immediately, Remember
that the news of Annals death did not reach
Mary until the following morning. One
would naturally account for this appari-
ton by supposing that it was an illusion,
but in this case the appearance was wit
messed simultaneously by two persons.
NOW, II tnat had been all, I should deem
the occurrence sufficiently remarkable. But
it happened that at the same time my
brother Samuel was living in Louisville,
where he had official connection with rail-
way. AT about $50 o'clock D. m on the
evening of which / speak he was standing
with his little son upon his front doorstep.
Suddenly the child caught at his coat and
said pointing to the garden gate: There
is Aunt Anna' His father looked quickly
and saw the figure OF woman, which
seemed to disappear with strange suddenness
among the trees. He called after her, but
she did not answer. The next morning a
telegram came from New Orleans, saying
shat Anna had been taken i'll with yellow
fever and had died.
my sister Violet was married and living
in San Francisco. She had not heard of
Annals illness. But on the night in uues-
ton, at about o'clock, she heard voice
calling her by name. She listened, but |
there was no accounting for it. 1t was the
voice OF her sister Anna, she told her hus-
band, but be laughed and said that it was
an absurd hallucination. That was all, She |
wrote me about it a short time after. You
are at liberty to draw your own conclusions.

Singular Deformity of a Boy Living
Near Waycross.
WAYCRoss, GA, June 14.-There is a
woman living near here who has son
who is very peculiarly deformed. At the
time of his birth the woman was living
in Florida. She aud her husband were
crossing the dam of a mill pond, when sud-
denly two large alligators jumped out of
the water aud began a mortal combat She
became so frightened that she turned her
face from the scene. but her husband forced
her to look at it. Soon after this she gave
birth to child. He is now IA years old,
and his form and actions are very mnch
like those of an alligator. Scales of DELI
cate texture can be seen all over his
body. He has a fiat head, long, W de
mouth and eyes like an alligator. His legs
and arms are fat and crooked at the joints.
He can neither talk nor walk, but bellows
and crawls like reptile. When he gets
mad he foams at the mouth and throws his
feet around and makes a loud noise like the
Kissing OF an alligator. When he is hungry
he gtoans and crawls around the room
Some tune ago he was taken before the
grand jury for medical examination. They
decided that he was one of the most peculiar
specimens of humanity that they had ever
seen. His mother lives about seven or
eight miles from this place.
