Two Sad Gases.

The JOURNAL has earnestly remon-
strated with the Cumberland Meas
against the degradation of coal to the
level of "lumber. WOOL" and other in
congruous commodities.
But without avail.
A parallel case appears in the North
west, where Patrick V. Collins, editor
of the S,oeie, of Minneapolis, lives and
moves.
Patrick says:
Out here in the wild and woolly West we
class sheep and cattle and horses as live stock,
just as much as we do bees.

Proof Ofthe Pudding.

Tariff reformers wonder how by raising

is-we do.-Philadelphia Press.
Which is illustrated quite aptly by
the following dialogue

Another Mistake.

If the JOURNAL will consider a moment it
will discover that the percentage of duty laid
upon any given product does not establish
the value of the protection afforded.-Cum-
berland Ne~s.
Is that a fact
Wonder why it is, then, that every
interest wants as much tariff as
possible?
But the JOURNAL thinks the Ners
errS.
The Baltimore Sun, in illustrating
the difference between laying the
tariff ''by the Yard and fixing it ac-
cording to the value of the yard, says
A specific duty of 80 cents yard on wooden
goods may mean a tax of 100 per cent. on
common goods and 10 per cent. on richer
fabrics in the same class. The Senate bill in
grades the tax according to the value of the
goods.
If the Netcs' notion. however, should
be correct, the 100 per cent. on COM
mon goods would be protection of
pretty stiff value, while the 40 pc,
cent. on richer fabrics would have no
practical value at all.
On the other hand. the poor con-
sumers would be shut in den with
the lions of remorseless appetite,
while the rich could roam clancy
free' the aesthetic markets of a
country whose own best productions
are cheapened to opulent tastes by the
practically untaxed competition of all
nations.

Cause and Effect.

will discover that the percentage OF duty laid
upon any given product does not establish
the value of the protection afforded. Some
manufactures may be amply protected by an
al palorent duty Of l5 per cent. Others may
be inadequately protected by a duty of 40 per
cent. 1t was the absurdty of the proposition
for which the JOURNAL contends that made
the Morrison tariff bill ridiculous There
may be number of reasons why lumber
might not be better protected under duty of
100 per cent. than coal would be with duty
Of 25 or wool at 50. We can discuss the
tariff much more intelligently, and to a
much better purpose, if we contine ourselves
strictly to practical ideas and discard use,
less comparisons of percentage. What we
need is protection that protects. This the
Mckinley Act provided III manner that
made the whole country prosperous.-Cum-
berland Nems.
And yet the same Morrison bill was
a "horizontal' measure. That is TO
say, it was one which, While lowering
taxes upon lmportations did not ma
terially change relative rates.
SO that if it was ridiculous" bill,
it was based upon ridiculous" Act
the same Act in the adjustment of
which high protectionists reached the
conclusion that coal should not enjoy
more than so cents per ton.
Mr. Morrison, however, exempted
coal from the "horizontal' slash
a consideration for us which the JOUR
NAL hopes the Nens does not impeach
as ridiculous"
The difficulties of reaching equality,
suggested by the News from the in
congruity of commodities in general,
is the exact reason used by the free
trader when he contends that his sys-
tenn is the only one under which all
articles can be assured equal and
exact consideration.
Indeed, to this view of the case the
NescS gives some assent when it says:
1t is difficult to make any tariff legislation
absolutely perfect.
AS to the results of the Mckinley
Act and the effects of it's ''threatened
repeal" the JOURNAL is not willing to
accept mere opinions for conclusions.
If tariff-making is admittedly not an
exact science. it is certain that tariff
speculation.is still less so.
Hence, the fancy that "the Mckinley
Act made the whole country prosper.
ousr a. by filing it with surplus
goods, and CD without raising the
wages of single workingman-may
impress the Neecs, but not the JOURNAL.
We would rather believe, too, that
measure which congresses fierce
competition within the narrow domain
of ''the home market" had and has
more to do with the current trouble
than any promise of widening that
domain could possibly effect

Which {?

Here is something for the JOURNAL, as well
as other smaller and less influential demo-
cratic organs to ponder. The Senate amend
ment to the tariff bill placing a duty on coal
came to a vote in that body yesterday, and it
was agreed to-yeas, 81 nays 6. Did any re-
publicans vote against the amendment? Not
one Did any democrats? Yes; three.
namely: Hill, of New York; Irby, of South
Carolina, and Mills, of Texas. The other
three votes were cast by populists.- Cumber-
land News.
That statement may fool some
people, but not those who know that
it was not coal that was on trial, but
democratic unity.
Republican Senators voted for 40
cents ton, but Representatives, in the
House wouldn't touch with the slight
est favor either 40 or so cents. In the
latter body 1t was IS cents ton or
the free list-acquittal or murder in
the first degree!
The JOURNAL would like to learn
from the Nescs now which House rep
resented properly its party in this
county-the one which, for party
reasons solely, sat down on David B.
Hill, or the other which, for party
reasons solely, voted only for tariff
rate they knew could not pass, and
would not vote for any rate that en-
joyed a ghost of a chance to go
through :?

An Abused system.

J. +. }. Buckley takes Of in charac-
teristic style the pretented utility of
public school commencement" GU
displays.
He also indicates that there is no
real ground for the unseemly snarl at
Homecoming.
The fact is, the whole business down
there furnishes another argument
against paternalism in the matter of
education, if not in all other matters.
Were schoolhouses built, schools
maintained and teachers employed, as
churches, congregations and preach
ers are, the snarls would involve only
those Immediately concerned.
For the sake of the integrity of the
system, therefore, it is an immense
pity that pupils, far enough advanced
to discriminate, should be made
auditors of the alleged weaknesses of
those whom they should be taught and
compelled to respect.
A system which opens the door of
opportunity to such perversions should
not be public one.
Taxes and Insurance.
1t seems an extraordinary coincidence that
with financial strngency should come an
increased demand upon the people in the
way of insurance and taxation. In too many
places to mention the dizziness of the present
season has been followed by raise in public
expenditures, and in the demands of the in
surance companies-so much so, in fact, that
the taxpayer hardly knows where to run to
meet the obligations pressing upon him. n
The rate was raised in this city because of
losses. it is claimed, and because of insutfic-
lent fire protection. On the other hand,
our city tax rate has been raised some 5 cents
on the 800 to provide for that very protec-
ton the absence of which is lamented by the
insurance companies.
Thus the property-holder is doubly har-
assed. He sees his taxes raised to provide
for better and more efficient protection
from loss by fire and he notices his fire in
surance raised to compensate the companies
for the losses they expect by fire, notwth-
standing the splendid service this city boasts
of.-Hagerstown Nail.
Hagerstown's grievance is slight
compared with the one Frostburg feels.
Ar argument to reduce the cost of
fire insurance induced the people to
place mortgage upon their property
amounting to nearly 100000.
The answer of the companies to this
great reduction of risk is an increased
tariff on risks filling the "gamut" from
IS to 100 per cent.
The result of our investment in
water works is this-we have practl-
cally made present of nearly $60, 200
to the fire insurance companies.

Raw Material Pledges.

III tne ueinOcraJiC party Is pleuStu W any
thing in principle it is pledged to free coal
and free iron ore, two great articles of raw
materials. And yet the Senate compromises
forced tax of 40 cents ton on each. The
latter tax is peculiarly injurious to the busi-
ness of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Sun.
The JOURNAL is glad to see the Sun
draw the line so candidly and en-
phatically.
1t is probable that the tax on ore
will be an injury to Baltimore.
But why 40 cents on coal should be
so considered at all we cannot under
staLd in the light of the strong prob
ability that no foreign coal can ever
compete with Maryland coal at Balti-
more, tariff or no tariff.
That rate will help this region to
hold its great New England trade, but
only help.
The JOURNAL, therefore, reiterates
the prediction that coal will never be
and never can be sold in Baltimore a
cent cheaper than now on account Of any
reduction in the tariff.
All Baltimore argument in favor Of
free coal is not only bootless to Balti-
more, but harmful to that section of
the State which is the city's most val
liable customer.
All Baltimore argument against
dutiable coal strengthens New Eng
lands hold on monopoly OF the man
ufacturing interests of the country and
weakens Baltimore attempts to become
an industrial centre.
Let us get a little closer to the Sun.
1t is supposed, of course, that all
Maryland daily papers use Maryland
coal to raise the steam which drives
their presses. What trace, then, of the
'raw material called ''coal" can the
reader of the SIN find in the printed
sheets which he reads with so much
pleasure Where does trace of
Maryland coal crop out in the paper
and ink which make up materially the
luminous embodiment whose crest
illustrates the legend, Light for ALL"
spanning the Woodworking beams of
the rising orb of day
The paper and ink are developments
of materials once raw and capable of
almost infinite reproduction. But the
coal, the primary source of the power
which impressed the ink upon the
paper, is not only invisible in paper or
ink as factor of their development,
but it is gone forever. 1t can never
be replaced by another crop.
1t must be strained deduction which
catalogues coal among "materials'
which are "raw" only for humiliation.
1t must be an equally tense con-
clusion also which holds the demo-
cratic party iuexorably pledged to a
provision which benefits few miles of
New England seaboard at the sole ex-
pense of the Appalachian coal fields.
The JOURNAL is satisfied the con-
struction of the Chicago platform,
drawn and urged by the San, Is forced.
1t never could have meant it can
not mean now to take our trade and
make free gift of it to Nova Scotia.

HoN. VIM. q. IRWIN, Honolulu, HI.
DEAR SIR:-In reply TO yours Of the
10Th inst regarding the National Cane
shredder furnished by the nivt rsai
Mill Co. of New York, and erected bv
the Hilo Sugar Co. this past season,
would beg 10 say, that it has now been
in operation day and night during the past
three weeks working on plant cane, and
also hard ratoons, and it is giving me the
greatest satisfaction. The more I see of
its capabilities, the better pleased | am
that put it in, as l am satisfied that il
will repay the original outlay in a short
time, in saving OF labor, higher extrsc-
ton, etc.
Ii is shredding from 800 10 400 tons OF
cane every % hours with the greatest
ease, and it could shred a much larger
quantity if necessary. 1t delivers the
shredded cane in an even uniform feed
to the three roller mill, which receives it
without the intervention uf any labor,
and as the cane is thoroughly shredded
or disintegrated it relieves the mill of a
great deal OF strain, thus reducing the
liability OF broken shafts, gearing, etc.
There is saving of four az men daily
on the MILL as only one man Is required
to regulate the amount of cane delivered
by the carrier to the shredder. It has
increased the extraction from to
per cent.
The economical use of steam is gene
rally a serious consideration in adding
new machinery, as in most mills the
| boiler power is taxed to its highest limit,
as il was in this mill, and any increased
! demand necessitated an additional boil
| er. But find that the shredder and the
| three roll mill engines combined use no
| more steam than the three roll mill
! engine did when working on whole cane,
while doing better work and more of it,
and owing to the uniform feed on the
mill, the engine demands very little
| attention.
! The Negass from the shredded cane
makes superior fuel, and the fremen
| have less difficulty in maintaining a uni
form pressure of steam than formerly.
l will be pleased to have a call from
parties interested, as it is necessary to
see the machine at work TO 1ully appre-
ciate it's capabilities.
1 remain, very truly yours,
(Sig.) JOHN A. SCOTT,
Manager Hilo Sugar Co.
