The Tariff Pendulum.

he tariff was claimed by those in
power to have been excessive on for
eign trade and productive of too much
revenue, but the prOtracted agony and
Caesarian delivery of the tariff reform
bantling. and the progressive treasury
deficiency thus provoked. far tran
scends the sentimental agony Of Il sur
plus, which long ago ceased TO veX
any tinanciers. 1t is always something
too much, whether of n surplus or Of Il
deficiency. Two years ago some thought
we had too much of McKinleyism.
More now think we have got too much
of wisconsin. The tariff pendulum
swings TO and fro between protection
and free trade, firing out even the
President in dreaming dreams, alas!

Senator Justin $. Morrill,, Of Vermont.

Embarrassingly Ambiguous.

"There was quite fight in front Of
the store today" said a Rockland
man ut the supper table. 1.-TWO men
got into n row, one struck the other,
and then the crowd gathered. The man
who was struck ran and grabbed n
cart-stake and rushed back, his eyes
blazing. ! thought sure he'd knock
the other mans brains out and l
stepped right in between them" The
young heir had given over eating his
tart as the narrative proceeded. and
his eyes leaned right out of his head.
He was proud of his fathers valor,
and he cried: He couldn't knock any
brains out Of you, could he, father"
The old man looked long and curiously
at the heir, but the lads countenance
was frank and innocent and open.
When it closed with the tart on the
inside the father gasped slightly and
resumed his supper.-Rockland Trib-

1t Hurt the Railroads.

The Railroad Gazette gives the fol-
lowing account of the extensions of our
railroad system in 1894:
RAILROAD building in this country
would certainly appear tohaye reached
its lowest ebb, when the total new mile
age built in one year amounts to only
1,761 miles. That is all the new rail
road that has been built in the United
States in 1894. That figure is lower
than any that has been reached since
1915. when the net increase for the
year was LOO miles, the amount built
being somewhat greater The new
mileage reported for 1894 isslpparently
the smallest actual amount of new
railroad built in any year since the civil
war. and it is much the smaller per-
centage of increase. Taking POor's
figures of the amount of railroad built
at the end of 1893 017.753 miles,, the
railroad constructed in 1894 has added
less than per cent. TO that total

The lead mining trade finds itself in
condition similar 10 that of some
branches of iron and steel production,
where IL becomes question OF shut
ting down or lowering the cost of run
ming. The ability of the importer to
sell foreign lead at 3 cents in New York
makes it exceedingly difficult for the
American producer to remain in the
market. Comparatively little foreign
lead was sold here previous to the pas
sage of the Wilson bill, even though the
American lead miner had 10 meet the
product of Mexican mines, where labor
was extremely low. With the home
supply SO nearly equal TO the demand
any excess in imports must be severely
felt by the home producer. New Next
co and Spain are both given increased
advantages in the American market.
Western prosperity will be greatly re-
tarded by the closing down of American
silver lead mines.-American Manufac-
turer and Iron World, Pittsburg.

from Lady Louisa Tighe, dated Wood

Whu Wheoh Sells Slow
\ Tin Plate Crisis.

A crisis is looming over the Welsh
tin plate trade. and the aspect points
TO Il struggle between masters and men
on the wage question. The Llanelly
manufacturers have issued a notice to
their men that - per cent. reduction
is required in order to keep the works
running without sustaining n loss, con-
scQuent upon the competition of Amer
lea. The workmcn OF the various works
met and resolved to refer the matter to
n joint conference of employers and en-
ployed. but the decision arrived at was
to adjourn the conference In order to
give the workmen an opportunity OF
further considering the proposed re-
duction.
Great excitement prevails through
out the principally, and in the event of
no settlement being effected there will
De no alternative but for Welsh manu-
facturers to close their works and this
will mean a lockout of fully 10000
hands.
The men consented to 10 per cent.
reduction in wages, but maintain that
there is no occasion for n concession to
meet the competition of the American
trade. as the tin plate works here are
practically quiescent. A strong resolu-
ton to this effect has been passed by
the tin plate makers OF the Llanelly
district, but in other districts the men
have granted - per cent. reductions.
