II il a little strange and 10 Republicans Of
other Eastern States sometimes dspnic'inI, |"
seq certain Republicans of Pennsylvania arguing
for Protection and himctaIliSm, ~ if silver CON
ag, were in some way essential To th" policy
of protection TO American industries This curi-
o,ls phenomenon grows ont Of Il notion winch
was held years ago bv some eminent men ~
Pennsylvania and is still cherished by mum
her of influential manufacturers. namely. that
AN EXPANDED and deprecated currency helped
in some way 10 increase the obstacles 10 foreign
competition and thus provided greater prof"c-
lion and development for home industries. II
NAV be profitable just al this time to confront
this notion with the facts, and particularly with
,hc records Of The industry upon which Pcnnsyl-
vania most depends.
The iron manufacture made progress. II is
truc through the period Of currency deprccia-
ton down 10 the panic Of 1913. All the indus
tries prospcrrd in some measure. and II was one
of the marvcls Of that time that in spite Of war
and bad money. industries expanded so largely.
Put il is dcmonstrabc that the progress then
made was at the expense of at least Il proper
tionatc Increase in the sales by foreigners in the
American market The proof is worthy Of at
,rntion In 1860 under II Democratic low revenue
pcr CAPITA and the quantity Of all iron consumed
was SOG6 pounds per capitl-22.lG pounds, or
pa per cent, being foreign iron imported. In
1872 when this era Of expansion eliminated.
the domestic production had indeed Increased
10 1897: pounds per capita. but the total con
sumption Of iron was 1911 pounds, Of which
543S pounds. or % per cent, was of foreign
iron imported In twelve years under Protcc
ton and deprecated currency the iron Industry
had gained absolutely nothing in the proper
ton Of American consumption ii was able to
supply but in fact had lost slightly.
The next period was one OF contraction In
preparation for specie resumption In 1878. the
year before specie resumption. the American
production had fallen TO 1ll.1I pounds per cap
ita but the total consumption was only 123.1l
pounds. so that the importation Of foreign iron
had diminished to 1924 pounds. and was only
10 per cent of tie entire consumption. II WAS
a Time Of prosration to all industries. hut the
iron manufacture was able ut its close 10 supply

PENTSHED FOR ITS SINS.

The Manhattan Company is tardy respond
Ing, not to the appeals Of the public for better
service but TO the argument derived from It's
own financial condition. The competition or the
cable roads has diminished the patronage Of the
elevated lines to so great an extent already and
is SO certain to be largely Increased hereafter
as new routes and connections are opened that
the Manhattan managers have been compelled
by n grim demonstration Of necessity 10 bid for
the traffic which was formerly thrust upon
them The public therefore owes no goodwill
TO the company for the new facilities which II
has begun to provide, though they are ac-
ceptable. Additional trains ut the hours when
travel by the elevated roads has until now been
most uncomfortable and the concession Of trans
fer privileges at South Ferry will produce a
sense Of gratitude to the surface roads rather
than to the Manhattan Company.
That superlativcly selfish and surly corpora
ton has never bestowed a benefit upon the com
munity which IL imagined might be withheld
without loss Of revenue. so far as il dared TO
do 80 It has streated its patrons like chain
gang subjecting them TO multifarious distresses
and indgnties and contemptuously rejecting
their entreatics for relief. Nor will 1t be for
gotten for many years to come that this COM
pany has been the most active and persistent
agency in existence for the suppression Of every
genuine rapidtranslt project. Because 1t has
