This is clearly indicated in that the OK
ports Of carpets from the United States
for the month Of April, 1894, were
42,0al yards, against 5,4il yards in
April, 1903, and for the ten months
ending April 30th they were 2o0,l3o
yards, against only 1882 yards for the

a grand endorsement Of the plea of the

mission Of Argentine woods free of duty
for the benefit Of American carpet
manufacturers.

Debs will venture to "tio up" on ac-
count Of strike in car factory, or for
any other reason. The actual work of
construction was begun, after great
deal Of preliminary surveying, negotiat-
ing and tluanciering, on May 18th, 1891,
when the imperial rescript was promul-
gated by the Czarcwich in person and
that august individual laid the first
stone of this mighty undertaking. The
total length of the railway. from
Cheliabinsk to Vladivostock, Is 4,606
miles. The work of construction was
divided into three parts. The first con-
sisted of the western Siberian section,
from Cheliabinsk to the river Obi, and
of the middle Siberian section, from the
Obi to Irkutsk, together with the COM
pletion Of the Vladivostock. Grafskaya
section, now nearly finished, and the
building of line to connect the
Siberian railway with the Ural mines.
The second included the sections from
Grafskaya to Khabarovka, and the
trans Baikal line 10 Sretensk. The third
included the building of the circum-
Baikal road and the line from Sretensk
to Khabnrovka. The first is under con-
tract to be completed not later than 1900.
The report gives the route in interesting
geographical and Typographical detail.
1t is the intention of the Russian
government to couple with this stu
pendous undertaking number of
auxiliary measures looking to the i'm
provement of Siberia, among which
Consul Crawford enumerates: To con.
struct branch line between the Siberian
and Ural railways, in the interest of the
Ural metallurgical works; to build river
wharves and construct branch lines to
them; to improve the Siberian rivers; to
develop steam navigation on the river
systems interesting the road; to estab-
fish route through the Northern Ocean
to the mouths of the Obi and Yenesei; to
assist colonization along the line; TO en-
courage iron works to be established in
Siberia along the railway; to equip and
send out geological expeditions fol-
studying the country, and to make ex.
|, haustiye researches in the Amour tract
To carry out these auxiliary enterprises
, during the time allotted for the compile
ton of the first section, 100000 ruble!
(about $7,000,000) have been set apart
Requisite sums will also be appropriated

1t is clear that City Council has gotten
itself into dangerously deep water,
Ahichever way it turns, over this mat
ter. Nearly eleven years ago, on De-
cember 18th, 1888, Council, in moment
of heedlessness, voted to incur very
small liability, in conflict with this very
plain provision of the city charter, This
wasin connection with the construction
of a section of sewer across Delaware
avenue in cooperation with the city
railway company. The proposition
was that the city railway com
pany should build the sewer and
charge Council for the city's share of
the work, estimated at about $500.
Council voted to accept the proposition,
the $500 to be paid out Of the revenues
of the next ensuing fiscal year, which
then began on January LIST. EVERY
EVENING directed the attention Of
Council to the fact that this would be
he creation OF liability expressly for

Protection Run Mad.

sheep husbandry i'll this country within
three years will be an extinct industry. 1t
is indeed strange spectacle, afforded by
an American Congress, itssassinating in
cold blood the industries in which honest
men have their capital invested and from
which they earn their bread. A band of
ruifians who should burn down one Of our
great cities would intict much less hurt

American Democrats healed by the great
Anarch in the White House, are striving.

We print this IS an example Of pro-
lection run wild, 1t is declaration
entirely at variance with tine facts, Of
course, but, waving this, note the in
sufferable impotence of the thing
Analyze it and what do we get! That
protection to wool is sacred right and
that whoever interferes with that right
is no better than murderer, an incen-
diary or an Anarchist. Could the mad
ness of protection go any further?
Let US consider this for a moment.
Constitutionally, one American citizen
is on the same footing as another. There
is no such thing as an inherent right to
share in the bounty of the government
which does not belong as fully to all as
to few. No thinking man will dispute
this.
Now, what is the bounty Of the gov.
ernmcnt? Whence does it come? II
comes from the whole people, gathered
through the medium of taxation, direct
or indirect There is no such thing as
national revenue that does not come
out Of the pockets Of the people, in some
way or other. There is no such thing as
protective tax or bounty which is moi
paid in some way by the people

This being so, what right has the VOC

In the nomination of William NJ.
Singarly for governor and the adoption
Of a platform calling for such tariff re-
form as was promised by the Chicago
convention, the Democrats of Pennsyl-
vania have done themselves credit. 1t
is ringing platform, straight, honest and
outspoken, with no nonsense or cquivo-
cation about it. 1t means square con-
test on principle, for tariff reduction
and honest finance, with the issues
clearly defined. as straightforward men
like to have them defined. OF course
there is no present prospect that the
Democrats can win in Pennsylvania,
but we believe that they can come
nearer victory with such a platform
and such candidate than in any
other way, and in such fight as
they have entered on defeat will
bring nothing of discredt. To Mr..
Singerly, personally, the acceptance of
the position Of standard bearer is Il
sacrifice on the altar of duty. 1t was
emphatically case of the nomination
seeking the man, and seeking him in
such commanding way that he felt it
incumbent upon him not to disregard
the call. As the Record says for him
Because his Democracy is broad
gauge he feels bound to lead where he
has besought other men to follow" but
''if the Democracy in Pennsylvania
were in position to elect the next
governor he would feel it his duty to
insist upon the selection Of some other
leader. He would not be candidate il
victory were probable; he stands fol
principle and not for preferment and
lends his party the prestige Of his name
because he has the courage Of his con
victions and the patriotism which
accompanies determined earnestncss ii
the public welfare.
