Proposed Linseed Oil Trust

Talk of consolidation of linseed
oil interests of the country is again
current in Wall Street. The pro-
posed plan is said to concern rs to
IS per cent. of the industry. The
following statement was sent out by
a news agency and declared to be
official:
"There are now pending negotia-
tions for a consolidation of the lin
seed oil interests of the United
States. The National Linseed Oil
Company have several times ap-
preached the National Lead Com
pany with view to consolidation.
They have been told that when they
reached determination as to the
equitable value of their property
they would be made a proposition
based thereon, and that they would
not receive such proposition until
they had arrived at such equitable
valuation. Controlling interests of
the Linseed Oil Company will hold
a meeting this week for the purpose
of arriving at such a basis"

Indiana, the Massachusetts, and the
Oregon--are 1000 tons less, and
their estimated speed is three knots
less. Italy has five ships ahoat
whose displacement is nearly as
large as that of the Royal Sovereign
and whose speed is supposed to be
the same.
Neither Russia nor Germany nor
Austria nor Spain has any ships
that will compare in size or effect
iveness with the Royal Sovereign.
The crack ship of the British navy,
the lnflexible, is nearly 5000 tons
less in displacement than the Royal
Sovereign. Sheis 800 feet in length
and IS feet beam, as against $50
feet in length and rs feet in beam
in the Royal Sovereign. The great
Italian ships are 400 feet long by
"a feet beam. But when we turn
to the crack merchant steamers of
the day we find that the City of
New York and the City of Paris
which have just passed under the
American flag, are 500 feet long by
SO feet beam. They are 200 to 200
feet longer than the types of Eng
lish and French battleships before
the Royal Sovereign and IL feet
narrower. In them the proportion
of beam to length is $50, while in
the battle ships it is less than 6, or
about the proportion which was
usual in the ships built in the fort
les.
The Royal Sovereign's armament
shows in a marked degree the pro-
gress Of naval gunnery. The Italian
Italia, Duilio and Dandolo, which
were built between 1915 and 1884,
carry 100-ton guns, the British In
flexible carries 80-ton guns, the
French Admiral Baudin and the
Formidable carry 75-ton guns, but
the Royal Sovereign only carries 81
ton guns and our three battleships
carry 45-ton guns. The reason of
the reduction in the size of the gun
is, first, the difficulty of handling
enormous masses Of metal with suf-
ficient rapidity, and, secondly, the
apprehension that no vessel can be
built so as to endure the conclusion
of the fire Of very heavy guns with
out her plates splitting and parting.
The best opinion now is that guns
not exceeding As tons in weight
would be more effective in action
than guns exceeding that weight.
There is very little doubt that the
Italia and Duilio would wrench
themselves apart in action long be-
fore they had destroyed their enemy.
The projectile thrown by the Royal
Sovereign will weigh 1000 pounds,
and that thrown from our Mass
achusetts 1000 pounds. Such mis-
siles will do quite as much damage if
they strike an object as a missile
weighing a ton.-Marine Record.

should be changes. Mr.. Campau is
as whole-souled and generous as he
is honest and energetic. He does
not look upon Office for the recon-
pense there is in it, but TO him it is
the honor the position confers.
Fortunately he is financially able to
be above the need of official place,
and more fortunately, his Democra-
cy is so genuine, and his liberality
so marked, that his private fortune
has been at the disposal of the party,
almost without limit, since he has
been chairman. He holds "a warm

one hundred thousand pounds Of DR..

months OF this year, 1892.

the very fact that it has adopted DIR.

her trial trip with the officers of the

Evidence of the advisability of
municipal control or ownership of
street railways is seen in the report
made to the London ENGLAND },
County Council on its proposition
to purchase certain of the street rail-
way lines under the Tramways Act
of 1871. 1t was shown that the net
profits after deducting the large
rentals paid in lieu of taxes, were
over 8 per cent. on the total capital
ization. 1t is claimed that this
amount could be saved to the rate
payers if the lines were operated and
owned by the city.

Why L Am u Protectionist,

favor Protection because: It is essen
tlal to national power, wealth and inde-
pendence: it makes q demand for skilled
labor, including that for infirm men, for
women and children, who would other
wise be idle; secures fair wages and adds
to general intelligence it makes a home
market, always reliable and the best for
farm products, and for vegetables ana
fruits which cannot be exported and for
which there would otherwise be no mar
ket; 1t improves the productive capacity.
especially by stock raising and the value
Of lands: 1T saves to the world the use
less expense and labor Of shipping prod
ucts from one couatry to another and
turns these into productive sources OF
wealth; it secures national revenues paid
largely by foreigners, and maltiplies the
sources which share the burdens of local
taxation; its ultimate effect is 10 furnish
more abundant and cheaper products by
home competition, by preventing foreign
monopoly and estortion, and BY the in
vent.ol Of labor saving machinery; Ii
adds to the sources Ill individual wealth,
education, comfort and happiness. Every
