their election, should be the objects
and the limits OF these meetings. There
should be no distinction of persons.
Our law and order movements are too
apt to be confined to what we, not too
accurately, call influential people.
Every man and woman ought to have
a chance to choose his side, without
regard to station or wealth or race
or color. There will be none too many.
In some such movements it has seemed
to me that many have been assigned
to, the wrong side who would have
chosen the right. There is danger that
such may accept the place they would
not have chosen. Can any working
plan be devised to maintain from day
to day an effective watchful interest
among the body Of our citizens in the
enforcement Of the laws, and in a clean
honest administration of publie> 1f
fairs-small and great? Or are we to
accept the humiliating conclusion that
bad things cannot be made good, or
even better, until they come to be per-
sistently and utterly bad; or, still
worse, that when the river of popular
Indignation has cleaned the stable it is
only to leave US without supply Of
water for daily sanitation?
A common trouble is that admins
trative officers assume the functions
of legislators and seek to pass upon
the policy of the laws, and if they do
not approve of them, to neglect to
enforce them, or enforce them in SO
lax a manner that it amounts to the
same thing. Again, the people rely al
together too much on their party Or
CARNATIONS and if a city government
is bad they wait until election day to
remedy the evils they complain Of.
And it must be said that the remedy is
not SO eff1caciouS as could be wished.
The reason largely is that people have
the false notion that they must defend
the action of their party when they
really condemn it. What is often con-
demned in our political opponents we
condone or apologize for in our own
party. To do so is but to encourage
the propagation of evils. Every citi-
zen is interested in the honest and
strict enforcement Of the laws; and if,
when public officials are neglecting
their duty and disregarding the well
| tare of the public, the citizens would
call public meetings to enquire into the
reason Of such neglect and disregard,
they would have most salutary eff
feet.
Is it not folly to wait till election
time to correct an abuse that can be
corrected forthwith?
The words of ex-President Harrison
quoted above are wise and timely and
worthy the calm consideration and
sober thought of all.

STEEL RAILS AND THE TARIFF.

1t is pretty well known that since
the passage of the Democratic tariff
law the iron and steel industries of
the country, instead of being ruined"
as predicted by Republican protection
lists, through the reduction of duties.
has been stimulated into healthy ac-
ton; and while the banked fires of
the furnaces have been reHghted and
workmen have been employed by the
thousands, wages have increased
though the price of rails has decreas-
ed. This has been reluctantly admit
! ted by most Republican papers, and
being undeniable by others has been
accounted for on different far-fetched
! hypothesis.
But an event of recent occurrence
gave comfort to the high tariffites for
a while and they made the most of it,
much more than the facts warranted.
That was the purchase from England
of ten thousand tons of steel rails.
The order was placed with the New
York representatives of Cammell &
Co., of Sheffield, England. 1t was for
| the San Joakin railroad in California
| The reasons for this order, when
properly understood, take away all
cause for high tariff jubilation. The
| Railway Age furnishes the data, show
ing the cost of the American article
and that of the English article, demon
strating the fact that it was the high
freight rates from the east to the west
which occasioned the importation of
the rails from England.
The American price at present is S29
per ton delivered at Chicago The Eng
fish price is $291S, delivered at port in
that country The duty under the new
tariff is $7.S4. This would make the
cost of the English rails, with the duty
about $31 per ton, or two dollars more
than the American price without the
freight across the sea. But vessels re-
turning from delivering grain in Eng
! land will take rails for ballast and
land them in San Francisco for 50
! ton, which, with 25 cents per ton for
commission and insurance, makes the
price to the buyer on the Pacific coast
S33.27 per ton.
Now take the American product:
Price $29 per ton in Chicago; freight
/ to San Francisco by rail $13.44 per ton;
total. $42.44 per ton. Thus the saving
of $917 per ton is effected by purchas-
ing English rails when shipped by
ocean to San Francisco. But when
landed on the Atlantic coast the Amer
lean product has the advantage of
about 81 a ton.
If these facts and figures are studied,
the high tarifntes will find in them
very small food for argument. The
present duty Of 1854 per ton is more
than enough to cover the difference in
the labor cost, and therefore protec-
tionists who are consistent-if there be
any such-ought to be content because
they claim that they only want protec-
ton so as to keep up the higher stand
ard of wages in the United States. The
purchase for California was made from
England solely on account of the much
smaller cost of freightage by sea- in
stead of by rail from Chicago.
