FACT. NOT THEORY.

Free Traders are great the lists
They have theory that the Tariff is
tax and that Protection, per Sc, is not
beneficial. 1t is our purpose to lay
before our readers each week a propo.
sition showing that Protection, for
Projections sake, is a positive bene-
flt--a saving to the people.
Let us take peep at the steel in.
dustry.
At the time duty was laid on steel
rails they were selling at not less than
SIoo per ton, we believe 500 was the
exact figure, Before the present Dem
ocratic panic affected the country, bet
ter rails were selling for $50 per ton,
and are now reduced to s24, a saving
to the people of not less than $40 per
ton
Now, let us look at the aggregate.
Eighteen months ago this country
was using 5000, 900 tons per year of
these same steel rails. AT $50 per
ton (the saving effected by the tariff
this country was the gamer by $500.
600 600 per year.
ms immense sum amounted to
more each year to the people than all
the accumulations of all the manufac-
turers of steel in the United States for
all the years they Lad been engaged
in the business.
Is it not clear that the tariff on steel
rails is not tax and that the manu-
facturers are not the only beneficial
ries?

A NEW POWER.

Steam and electricity, with their
complicated devices for proa ueiiig aw-
III din and mighty power, bid fair to
,oon be as entirely out of date as the
rumbling old stage coach of the days
# yore
DR.. T. w Williams. the magician
Who claims to be ableto do away with
these forces, is, unlike other geniuses
an eminently practical, balanced
man.
The invention is new application
Of pneumatics. and the inventor does
not claim to have discovered any new
force, but to have devised new meth
cd Of construction, whereby the waste
of potential energy is avoided He
claims that small steel cylinder. no
larger than the joint of stovepipe
and as easily portable. will do the
work of the steam plant on an ocean
racer that eats up $50 tons of coal a
day, and that it will furnish power
enough to iun a cable system Of street
cars
In the new motor. the motive power
is applied directly in such manner
as to secure a number Of revolutions,
instead Of one for each charge of steam
or other elastic energy utilized. Many
inventors have sought to use COM
pressed air, but meeting with SO many
difficulties the scheme has been prac-
! tically abandoned until now The
small quantity of air required renders
its compression by machinery mex
pensive, as compressed air costs
nothing but the work required to conf
press it. 1t is high time that we
sought some motive power to take the
place of steam, SO as to reserve the
earth coal beds for generating heat,
since we know that our plane
is gradually cooling and becoming
colder every century.
The doctor has had the main par
of the motor patented and will, during
the summer. demonstrate the practica
bility of his idea. He is no hurry t.
take the world into his confidence, no
doubling the successful operation o
his motor, but because it is the natur
of man to show only results. Eacl
part of the machine has been con
structed for practical demonstration 0
their possibilities and he is convinced
will prove that he has solved the prob
lem of motive force.

What Does William Mean.

There is much discussion as to the
meaning of Won Caprivi's speech re-
Gently. What is this coalition of the
nations of Europe which he says the
Emperor William is contemplating
Against whom is it to be directed? In
some quarters it is said to be directed
against countries whose virgin soils
ruin European agriculture by the
cheapness of their products. William
has had the idea that agriculture is the
one industry the prosperity OF which
is essential to country's permanent
safety and well-being. Yet this in
dustry is being ruined all over Europe
by futile competition in prices with
Canada, the United States, Argentina,
Australia and other sources of supply.
Farms in many parts of Europe are
going out of cultivation. The farmers
are bankrupt Their laborers are
tioc<ing to the cities to learn socialism
At the same time crops are becoming
insufficient to support the population
England, for example, imports more
grain than it grows. Tie situation
IS one for high policy, and William II
is thought to have plan to save Euro
pean agriculture. 1t includes, it is
said a customs union, the objects OF
which will be to give the home farmer
an advantage over all outsiders. Bal
timore Sun.
At the same time the Democratic
party is engaged in the philanthropic
work of opening our commercial gates
and saying to all and sundry, who
soever will, let him come and partake
of our pastures freely" William is
smart enough to sec the opening which
will be made by the repeal of the Nc
kinley law and the enactment of the
Wilson BILL and the people of this
country will ere long realize the fact
that they are bound hand and foot.

The sun, with last, lingering ray,
Has passed behind the mountains gray,
Leaving in view path SO bright,
Which nantles the sky with rosy light.
The clouds assumed every form and hue,
All purple and golden in seas Of blue,
While others, in a soft and fieecy heap
Hover like wings of an angel sweet.
Far away on the dim. horizon line,
The suns reflected splendors shine
A sea of gold, in soft, ethereal light,
Whose waves are crested with puresi
white.
But now every cloud has sunk to rest,
In the bosom of the calm, golden West,
And sweet stiffness seems to fall
lis twilight hour, most pleasant Of all.
In the azure depths there CLEANS a star,
And in fancy methinks the gates are ajar
While myriads of angels, in raimenI
bright,
Are gently drawing the curtains of night

friends of that most estimable lady to
learn that Mrs. Virginia Montague,
nee McQuaide, died at her home in
Martinsburg on Wednesday morning
aged about 81 years. The deceased
was sister of Miss Mollie McOuaide,
of our town, and was lady of rare
personal traits, sunny temperament,
and acute mental endowments. In the
bestowal of these gifts Nature had in
deed been generous. Her faculty for
making friends and drawing them
within the influence of her charming
personality was remarkable She

MURDER WILL OUT.
Democratic Practice not in Accord
With Their Theory.

! With Their Theory.
Almost every cuckoo Democrat one
meets tells of the good times to
come when tariff reform is accom-
plished. Even the most casual OBJ
server can see that they are either ig
norant or insincere It is evidently the
latter because all history teaches that
hard times have invariably followed
these tariff reform spasms.
In recent discussion Of the post
office appropriation bill, Mr.. Cannon,
of Illinois, called attention to the fact
that in reporting the appropriation
bills the Democratic committees of the
House had all taken the ground that
the hard times are still to continue,
and that .'they must make appropria-
tons from the standpoint of small
revenues and hard times.
The appropriations that are now be-
| ing made for the next fiscal year. be-
ginning on July /. The Wilson tariff
bill is expected to go into force at that
time. If the wonderful prosperity
which the Democrats predict is to fol-
low the passage of that bill were to be
realized, there would be no need of re-
sorting to sham economy for the sake
of preserving the Treasury from bank
ruptcy
But as Mr.. Cannon declared the
Democrats know perfectly we'll that
no such prosperous times are to come,
and hence, they are resorting to all
kinds of discreditable methods to keep
down the appropriations. For in
stance, as Mr.. Cannon pointed out,
there has been cut made of $2,774,-
900 in the estimates for postmasters'
salaries, the transportation of mails
and postal-car service. Mr.. Cannon
explained what this kind of bogus
economy meant when he said: "The
. law authorizes these services even il
the bill did not carry one cent of APP
preparation. The postmasters retain
their salaries out of the money collect
ed. The railways can, if they choose,
perform the service and have claim
against the Government, and Just as
sure as the world stands and the Gov
eminent stands, this time next year
the Committee on Appropriations will
have to recommend appropriations foi
this deficiency.
The postmasters whose salaries are
cut under this bill 81, $50, 900 gel
their pay out of the postage received
by them. They will get their pay re-
CARELESS OF this cut in the appropris.
ton. 1t is no economy. 1t is a mis-
cradle sham, and the amount will nee
cessarily have to be made up in the
deficiency bill And it is the same
way with the other items.
: "No cuts have been made in the
I bill on items where the Post Office De.
partment has any discretion. The
cuts are made where no discretion ex-
lists, and where the money will have
to be expended, and will be expended
whether appropriated now or not. As
an excuse for this wretched work un
der the name of economy, Mr. Hen
: derson, the chairman of the Post Office
Committee, pleads as a justification
that we are to have a continuation O
S hard times Evidently our friends
the enemy, do not look for any
benefit from their tariff bill in thu
i way of increasing the revenues or re
: storing prosperity and thus adding tt
l the postal revenues"
