A few evenings since our report
er's attention was called to the beau
tifully illuminated buildings OF the
Smith Premier Typewriter works on
Clinton street, and upon investiga-
ton found that owing to large in
crease in business they were obliged
to run twelve hours day, operating
between 300 and 400 employees Con-
sidering the rapid growth of the
business referred to it is very appa-
rent to the proprietor that it will be
absolutely necessary during the sum
mer months to build another factory,
and in fact the plans are nearly ar
ranged for the construction of a new
building of dimensions G0Xl40 feet,
seven stories high. This new struc-
.ture, in addition to the present build
ings, which have every nook and cor
ner filled with operatives, will admit
of working at least GOO people, and
if the business continues to increase
in the future as it has in the past it is
very certain that the company at no
distant day will require all the type
writers that 900 operatives can pro-
duce. We are informed that no other
typewriter manufacturers in the state
mt present are pressed to fill their or
ders to the extent that they are
obliged to work overtime.-Syracuse

II will soon be in order for the city
Of Las Vegas to say how much con-
fidence she has, financially, in the
Denver & FL Paso railroad. The
building of the road will leave a
great deal of money here, will double
the price of all the property in the
place and make large city here, aud
certainly the citizens can afford to do
the handsome thing by the road in
return. With the building of this
road all other roads coming in this
direction will be compelled TO build
in here, and it is hardly likely that
after this there will ever be the ne
cessity Of giving subscription to
another road to come here-it will
be a point they will have to come to.

CONSISTENCY.

AT a meeting of the ladies Worlds
Far club the other day the state
ment was made that il the proceed
lngs of the club were furnished TO
the FREE Press the Optic would re-
fuse to publish them, and the ladies'
being afraid that il might be so,
kindly took the bulIdosing and sent
their proceedings TO the Optic only.
We wish to say that this Is only one
of many instances Of that kind that
has occurred lately, bus in most cases
where the Optic has tried it on a
man it has been left aud had TO back
down the best it could. 1t also stated
to the ladies that it had sat in judg-
ment en- the FREE Press and could
not recognize it as newspaper. The
reason for it was not given but that
was not necessary with the Optic, as
it's word is final, like the decision Of
the United States supreme court, and
from it there is no appeal. We
should like to say, however, that
some of the files of the Optic show
up much smaller and poorer paper
than the FREE PRESS was ever guilty
of being "On what meat doth this
our Caesar feed that he hath grown
so great"
AS to the publication of their pro-
oecdlngs, of course if ;ho members of
the club do not wait 20 have them
published in the Free Press we
shall not go contrary to their wishes.
But IN looking over the list Of names
we saw some there that brought to
mind some "reminiscences Of little
occurrence last fall in which the same
names figured. Nearly all the par
ties who are members of the club are
members Of the w. Q T. u. and we
suppose that all consider themselves
Christian Temperance women wheth-
er members or not, and several Of
these ladies were out with a petition
last September, asking the business
men Of the town towiIhdyaw all their
patronage from the Optic for reasons
that were good from either n Chris
tian or Temperance standpoint. In
one instance that we know of
they were quite indignant that
the party refused to sign the
paper. But now these same
ladies who were so indignant at 50
"iilthy" n paper make il their organ
in another organization, So far we
have seen 10 change in its articles,
so we are left to conclude that such
items as those Of Arg. 6, 1891, lst on
the fourth page; Aug. u, fourth
page, fourth item; Sept. ! fourth
page, last item; Sept. II, fourth page,
9th item; and many others since
then, too numerous to mention, have
been "condoned" and are good items
now tor ladies' aud family news
paper We do not reprint the items
however, as we have not and shall
not print such articles IN the FREss
Press.
If, however, the ladies wish the
unbiased opinion Of outside parties
on this subject, We shall gladly fur
nish It il they will call al this Office

An American Castle,

When it is finished, Vanderbilt's palace
on Long Pine mountain, North Carolina,
will be the finest private residence in
America. Some time over year ago the
foundations we're laid, and now the stone
masonry begins TO rise sheer over the
side OF the mountain, like walled preci-
pice. This is just what Vanderbilt
wanted, for he determined that his castle
would have the view and command the
heights unobstructed. He concluded to
spend $1,0O00O0 a year for ten years, and
he is pretty well assured, at the end of
that time, Of having house fine enough
for king. The building will be 400 feet
long and 300 feet wide. 1t has tennis
court In the left which is marvel OF
masonry and filling, and which alone
cost $4,000. The banquet hall of the
mansion is to be seventy feet long, and
will have pitch Of thirty feet. Under
the main entrance OF the hall will be
swimming pool, while a fine gymnasium,
wine cellar. and art gallery are to be con-
nected with the establishment. Wander
bilt's estate includes 5000 acres of land.
Three miles back Of the dwelling is a
cold spring on the top of Busby noun
tain. He has purchased this spring and
carries the water in six iron pipes all the
way to the Long Pine. This will give him
volume and pressure enough for every
part of his premises. 1t will insure
dozen or more fountains in his parks and
drives. Five hundred hands are at work
on the grounds and buildings. Superb
carriage ways are graded and macad'
amized up the mountain, commanding an
approach to the house. and these will be
continued beyond the residence and
down the valley. As far as nature and
art can make it so, this palace will be
perfect WaVerly Magazine.

Our Jerry.

Jerry Simpson has discovered, uncov-
cred and destroyed the republican party
Of Kansas. They fought him until they
died by the thousands every day. They
fell in heaps in every ward, township and
county in Kansas, until the place where
they were knows them no more. Our
Jerry has extermlnated them as COM
plettly as st. Patrick eradlcated the
snakes of Ireland. They have migrated
like the grasshoppers, they have been
driven out like the buffaloes and In
dians. Our Jerry invaded their strong
hold and destroyed their temple, he made
them eat their slanderous falsehoods, he
destroyed their false gods in their pres
ence; he ventilated their schemes and
punctured their doctrines; he showed
them where they are until the wisest Of
them, like Adam and Eve in the garden
saw their nakedness, and were ashamed,
and went and hid Themselves when they
saw our Jerry coming. Manslsughter
was nothing compared with the fight
that our Jerry made--he fought whole
communities with the torch Of truth; he
routed them everywhere. He scattered
the republican party like the Great
Jehovah scattered the Jews; they have
no wailing place in Kansas. The meet
ings our Jerry held over Kansas were
grand, successful ovations. From day
to day was Jerry's day; his friends by the
thousands Came to greet him; came to
hear him preach the truth. Joy and
enthusiasm beamed on every face; hope
inspired every voter; even the children
hurrah for Simpson. Our Jerry is loaded
for republicans. The Peoples party un-
der the leadership of General Weaver
have captured Kansas and all that coun-
try west Of the Mississippi river. Make
ready for our Jerry in congress again;
give him front seat; he has thirty.
counties in his district. He represents
every one of them, with Kansas at his
back. d. Brady, 6n the NOnc0nform-

RECIPROCITY GOES.
HOW MUCH BENEFIT CAN WE Ex-
PECT TO DERIVE FROM 1T!

Sample Case J. That of Germ auy-The
Germans Pay Perhaps $500, 600 Less
Duty on american Provisions, and
That's About All There l. to 1t.
So far rs the reciprocity policy Of the
present admins -ration tends toward the
Improvement OF our foreign commerce
it may be deserving of favor, and were
1t not for other reasons such favor would
be freely accorded to it even by those
not in sympathy with the present fiscal
policy. The first of these reasons Is that
reciprocity" is evidently intended to
obstruct the progress Of true tariff reform
principles. and another. natural Sc
uuence. Is that there exists a manifest
disposition on the part Of its supporters
to exaggerate the benefits likely TO ac-
crue from the several treaties effected.
This Is the secret Of the enthusiasm Of
the high protect Onists over what Is in
reality some concessions TO low tariff
principles and Is full justification of the
critical attitude of tariff reforIners.
The latest treaty with Germany Is a
good example Of the truth Of this. 1t
has been held W as wonderful cOmbi-
nation of business acumen and diplO-
hatic sagacity on our part, and ire
mendous stride forward in opening up
foreign markets 10 the farm produce of
this country. an imposing show has
been made by placing side by side the
old rates Of duty in Germany on the
products affected and the new. and call
ing attention TO the substantial Conces-
sions' secured to ibis country. 1t must
De admitted that on paper these look
we'll and had tn concessions been made
to the United States alone might even
have been invested with some impor-
lance As it i. the following shows
that they affect E small part only of our
exports 10 Germany. and, further. that
one important competitor with Us for
the German market in agricultural
products has been accorded ike cOnces-
sions and Is in a natural position 10 take
much fuller advantage Of them than We
are.
During the fiscal year ended June 80.
1890, the last tor which full details are
available, our to-al exports TO Germany
amounted IN value 10 Ss4,3l5.2I5, a very
considerable trade; but Of this total the
articles upon which the duties have
been revised furnished only S.. So, 49,.
1t may Of course be argued that the
latter total was small on account Of the
duties: but. as VIII be shown later on
these duties did not prevent heavy i'm.
portations from other European coun
tries of similar proLucts. Nor when We
consider how mu n the saving Of duty
on the above years importations, at the
revised rates. would have been to Ger
many does there appear to be much II
the argument Itself. The following IA
bic shows the am punt Of duty actually
paid, what it would have been on the re
duced scale and the amount that would
have been saved by German importers:
Rock Island daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1886-1893, 1892-01-19

In addition to the above there Is Il re-
duction Of duty N imports Of lumber
and timber which we cannot exactly
calculate. bEt, making an extravagant
allowance for it. the entire reduction in
duties on our exports TO Germany for
the year 1889 90 would come under half
a million dollars.
This result appears still more trivial
when coutrasted with the saving which
the same concessions to Austria Hungary
will effect on imports from that country.
The German imports from Austria are
returned az $lG5 go, 900 yearly, on which
old duties amounted to $50 $50 900. Tn
der the new treaty these duties are re-
duced to $27 800, 900, a saving of $3.50,
600. Why Germany, bent upon effecting
a commercial union with Austria, Italy,
etc, should have been willing to extend
consideration to the United States also.
to secure its American trade in beet
sugar, needs no explanation with the
above figures before US.
The discrimination against Russia by
the new treaties viii without doubt have
the effect of changing the sources Of
Gernany's grain supplies to some ex-
tent, but the assumption that any mate
rial benefit will accrue to us therefrom Is
not well supported. The following shows
Germany's imports of the four leading
cereals in 1889. with chief sources of
supply, in thousands of bushels:
