Ruling One Million Line. Per Inch.

The construction OF many OF the instru-
ments used in scientific investigation has
been brought to point OF almost incon-
ceivable accuracy. Prof. Rowland, the
well-known electrician and physicist. has
just completed perfect screw for an i'm.
proved form OF his dividing engine. With
the machine now in use he is able to draw
$4,000 lines regularly to the inch. With
the new machine he can draw 1000, ,0O0
lines to the inch with regularity. The
limit of the vision in the microscope is
about 100000 lines. With the new divid-

Wantad-Good Roads.

While the action of the Maryland
Legislature on the road question IS
delayed. the roads themselves afford
ample proof that some action is
needed. The spring season. of all
others, tries the country roads. Be.
tween winters frost and March
rain the rural highway becomes a
sort of ''Slough of Despond,"
through which the luckless farmer
wallows with infinite trouble from
has home to market.
In other words, the absence of
good roads in all parts of Maryland
is painfully apparent. and shonld
admonlsh the Legislature that q
good ROAD law is one of the greatest
needs of the commonwealth. Mary
land can never develop as 1t should
agriculturally and industrlallv un.
til proper provision is made in law
for road construction and main
tenance. No state question tran
sends it IN Importance.
The utility of good roads has
been commented upou often. but a
recent writer IN the Forum has told
his readers what they will accom-
pllsh in any community. Railroads.
said he IN substance, need better
wagon roads for feeders, farmers
need them for access to the railroad
and to market. manufacturers need
them as transportation routes to
less populous areas. merchants need
them as II means Of stimulating
trade. and the people need them
for the reduction of the expense IN
satisfying their wants and for the
more efficient distribution of the
necessaries and iuxur,es Of lite.
This is no eXaggeration of the
value of good highways. and the
members Of the Legislature should
need no prompting in Il matter
where the public is to be so rniver-
sally benefited. There may be no
political advantage to be derived
from the passage Of wise and
comprehensive road law for the
whole state. but such q measure
would re 1ound to the development
of the commonwealth in more ways
than one. The enactment of good
road law is one of the duties which
the members of the Legislature owe
to their constituents.

An ANTIQUE viii Unearthed.

At Frederick Tuesday of last
week, the register of wills who is
searching up the recor of the
Grail estate in that county, I'M
earthed one of the most ancient
wills on record there. 1t is that of
Christian Grail, and is dated Feb
ruary IA, IVA, having been attest
ed by George Murdoch, who was
register of wills at Frederick at that
time.
The requests set forth in this
ancient document serve as an ex-
ample of the humble condition of
the honest people of old Frederic
town more than a century ago. To
one daughter he leaves an iron pot,
a pewter dish, pewter plates and a
copper kettle. Another received
twelve shillings, cow and pewter
plate. Another daughter received
thirty-one pounds, twelve shillings
and six pence.
The witnesses of the will were
John Weller, Benjamin Ogle and
Peter Messner, whose families are
still represented in Western Mary
land.

Communicated.

10 the Editor of The Republican.
The Mountain Democrat last week
had lengthy article in its editorial
columns on Free Raw Materials. 4"
What are Raw Materials
For years the cry of the Free
Trade Democracy has been for "free
raw Materials" but what do they
mean? The song now is for free
wool, but is wool raw material!
The moment labor has been put
upon anything, does it not cease to
be a "raw material" and become
somebody's finished product:
When the farmer of Garrett clips
the wool from the back of the sheep
is it not his finished product, but is
then raw material for the weaver.
When he makes it into cloth it is
then his finished product but raw
material" for the tailor. After any
labor has been expended upon any
product it ceases to be. strictly
speaking, raw material any longer.
When We had free wool in this
country it did not help the farmer
of this county.
The Democrat claims to be a
great friend to the farmer, but
where has there been II convention
of farmers that has asked for the
repeal of the duties on wool? Echo
answers where?
The sheep industry has moi de-
clincd under Protection but has de-
vcloped. Where does the Democrat
get the figures to prove that "there
are now less than five million more
sheep in the country than twenty
five years ago." We find that in
1870 We had in the United States

The Outlook Splendid.

Within a year there has been
enormous growth in the popular
confidence in and respect for the
administration of President Harri-
son. and in the estimation and re-
gard for the President himself.
This has almost silenced small
criticisms. The commonplace
snccrs at The President about his
grandfather do not go. 1t is the
Democratic party that incapacity
for business is obvious, and faction
mas declared itself. The House,
two-thirds Democratic, is a daily
object lesson, teaching that the
party responsible for it is incapable
Of straight business and without a

Mr.. Hugh Banner, the Chief, US
he is called in New York, was born
in 1899, and joined the Volunteer
Fire Department in 1860. He be-
came after some years a fireman.
When the paid department was or.
ganized and gradually rose until in
1889 he became Chief of Depart
ment. 1t may be seen by this fine
record of over thirty years of service
that Mr.. Banner owes his promo
ton to thoroughly acquaintance
with his duties. There is no fire of
Importance that does not bring
him to the spot. The elimination
of politics from the personnel of
fireman, the maintaining of train
ing schools are due to Chief Banner
and under his chief guidance the
New York Fire Department has
become the best in the country.

SHORT TARIFF SERMONS.
NO. III.
A PROTECTIVE TARIFF.

That system of Tariff legislation
which levies duties on imports such
as are adequate to establish and
maintain industries. insuring high
wages to laborers, is called PRO
lection.
The amount of Protection needed
is determined by the difference in
the cost of production at home and
abroad.
For instance: If, because of high
wages here, it costs $50 TO produc,
ton of steel rails, and because of
low wages it only costs $50 in Eng
land, then steel rails need duty of
about $40 ton to keep our mills
open and to protect our own work
men from the wages abroad.
Again, If it costs seventy cents a
bushel to raise barley here and only
forty cents a bushel in Canada, then
barley needs Protection to the
amount of thirty cents a bushel.
If a duty is imposed on any arti-
Gle less than the difference in the
cost of production, it cannot be
Protective. Twenty cents per yard
might be Protective duty on a
grade of plush, while eighteen cents
per yard might not be Profession at
ali.
| A Protective Tariff system not
only means high duties ON some
things, medium duties on others.
and even low duties on certain
articles, but it means no duty at all
on such things as we cannot pro-
duce or manufacture in sufficient
quantities for our own use.
On tea and coffee, for instance,
VIC levy no import duty, for We can
not raise them in this country.
And raw sugar, too, we admit
free of duty, for we have not yet
developed the industry sufficiently
to supply our own people. So, in
stead of a duty. bounty is given.
A Protective Tariff, therefore,
besides being source of revenue,
develops and maintains our agricul-
ture and innumerable manufacture
ing industries; it enables us to pay
our millions of workingmen high
wages, thereby insuring a home
market of several times greater value
than the whole worlds markets
combined; it keeps hundreds of
millions of dollars in the country
that would otherwise be sent abroad
to pay for things We can raise and
manufacture ourselves; it incites
invention; it enables us to live bet
ter, eat better food and wear better
clothes than any other nation; it
enables us to keep our wives at
home instead of in the fields or in
the mills; it enables us to educate
our children; in short, it makes us
the most prosperous, most contented
and happist people on the face of
the earth.
