ing OF bsttsr conditions additional rail-
road service is demanded, and new and
old transportation companies are readily
responding.
The figures about railroad making in
the United States tell story of gigantic
strides in development that would have
been almost beyond the conception of the
men who created the republic. In 1871
the United States had 44,614 mics of
track. In 1850 this had been increased to
81, 225 miles. In 1890 the figures 157, $50
had been reached, and in 1895, including
what is in course, or soon will be. of
construction, we will be able to claim

a newspaper should it would know that
since the enactment of what it has fire.
quently designated as the Wilson II or
man free trade tariff bill" great many
new industrial establishments have been
established. and what is OF more vital
consequence nearly all the old industries
that put up the shutters under Mckinley
ism have taken them down again, while
the wages scale, in nearly every pars OF
the country, have been restored 10 where
Mex inley found them. Not the least
among the new establishment started IN
the past year are twenty-six new tin
plate mills; and not the least important
industrial event in the same time is the
gam of 5i,000,000 pounds in the Ameri-
can production of TIN plate.
The Herald, In common with other
Democratic papers. has on several occas.
ions within few months published the
names and addresses of scores of the
largest industrial concerns in the United
States, employing hundreds OF thousands
of people, that either closed down or re-
duced wages from ~ to 80 per cent under
the Mex inley act and before the W lson
bill had been heard Of ana in very many
important instances. like those of the
Illinois steel works, employing 1000 men,
and the Carnegie mills. employing $1,000
men, before MIR. Cleveland had been
elected the second time. In fact the
harvest of suSpens ions. lockouts and wage
red uctions began in 1891. within year OF
the adoption OF the Mckinley bill, and
continued until the latter was repealed.
1t indicates the possession OF superb
nerve for former champion of Mckin-
leyism TO bubble on the number of in
dustries the present tariff bill has estab-
lished in the face OF the incontrovertibe
facts we have suggested and with which
the Express must certainly be familiar.
We grant that from the point of view of
protection the Mckinley hill was the
most consistent and logical piece OF tariff
legislation to bs found IN the history of
this country, because it was more prohib-
tive of trade than any other tariff bill,
and needed but a few steps more TO be
absolutely prohibitive, And it is sad to
think that because he was logical and en-
deavored to be faithfully consistent as a
protectionist. that the political party
which has so long taught the philosophy
of scarcity and tie doctrine of everlast-
ing taxation, has given him the cold
hand and will know hi m no more.
OF such is the ingrattudc of men, es-
pecially Republican men.
