Special Freight Rates Given Co Foreign
Goods Against American Labor Prod
uct<
We hope thnt IL viii never again be
necessary TO refer TO the fact that
American railroads discriminate in
their freight rates in favor of foreign
goods We find from Tin and Terne
TINT '.the condition is now as bad rs it
was last year" although there was
some improvement in the situation
after the action of the trunk lines last
january. Tin plate is not the only
article of American manufacture that
II has Disseminated against In this
case, as we have previously pointed
out, the manufacturers of Pittsburg,
when selling In markets not far west,
have to compete with Welsh tin plate
that In laid down there at lower rate
of freight from New York or Baltimore
than the American plate pays when
shipped from Pittsburg TO the same
point.
The American manufacturers do not
ask the railroads TO reduce the rate on
American plate, but they do ask for
fairness, honesty and justice. 1t Is a
disgrace TO our entire railroad system
that American manufacturers and pro-
ducers should have any cause for COM
plant whatever. Our railroads have
during the past two years felt very
severely the effect of the inauguration
of the system of free trade. 1t has
crippled their business, made very
many lines insolvent and stopped very
many more from paying dividends.
Every railroad president and official In
this country knows perfectly well that
o policy which will build up our coun-
try is good policy for the railroads.
II the presidents of the roads are mere
fgureheads, controlled by and subserv-
lent to English interests, the Ameri-
CON people should know it; and moth
ing will more effectuaily hasten o
movement toward the government con-
troll of American railroads than the
despicable treatment which the Off
Gals Of our roads are now according to
American producers and to American
oughly ashamed Of themselves.
Under their charter, the English
railroads are compelled TO carry freight
for export at lower rates than are
charged on similar goods consumed at

fncturers TO be compelled to meet this
item of competition without the addi-

low freight rates for foreign goods
makes matters worse. II looks very
much as II English control extended
not only throughout the White House,
but also into the private offices OF the
presidents of American railroads, so
called. Let us see II our railroad pres

THE housekeeper is by no means the
home maker though she may manage
successfully to combine the two voca-
tons. A woman with some old-fashioned
ideas says that in womau's sphere IN life
there is nothing that can transcend the
majesty of home making There IS no
need to recall the thousand details that
are blended in the sum total of home
making. Housekeeping IS relative TO

the altar of false economy, when we ex-

THOSE who estimated that there would
be between 3,ooc, oco aud 1000, 900 bas-
kets of peaches this season seem about
to have their predictions verified. Ac-
cording to the reports OF the number OF
cars shipped as made by railroad com
panies there have already been at least
700, 900 baskets Of peaches shipped so far
this season. 1t is generally estimated
that peach car holds six hundred bas-
kets of peaches and the shippers always
aim to have the car as nearly full as pos
sible So far this season there have been
nearly 1900 car loads shipped from this
Peninsula. Up to this time the number
Of baskets sent to various places is far
ahead of the number in 1898, when there
was such a remarkable crop, but this
does not show as some may think that
there will be more peaches this season
than there were in that year. As mat
Ter Of fact there will only be between half
aud two.thirds as many as there we're at
that time There are not as many trees
to bear now as there we're in 1898, aud
