TsE Philadelphia RecoAd is correct,
ssys the New York Uiorld, asserting that
while the iron manufacturers of this
country are calling for more protection,
Alabama iron is selling in Europe
IN open competition with the
cheapest products of European labor.
CThis is true not only of pig-iron but
of cut and wire nails, of bicycles, sewing
machiens and many other forms of iron
and steel goods which are exported and
sold in Europe at a profit, and without
any protection whatever.
1t is also true that the very time our
manufacturers are demanding increased
protection against foreigners they are
selling to foreigners cheaper than they
sell at home
How is it that American steel rails are
worth less a mile ontside of our coast
limit than they are on our wharves?
How is it that our coal is sold for 90
cents a ton less in Hamburg than in
New York? Instead of an Increase of
tariff taxes, why should we not have fair
trade prices at home as well as abroad?

Chopped Toll Ga,,s Down.

Harrodsburg, KY December A
mob of between forty and sixty men
armed with shot guns and axes rode
Mercer last night and chopped
down six toll gates The gate keepers
were warned not 10 repair the gates or
coll, ct any more ii under penalty of
being burned out. The mob passed
through this city at 2 O'Clock thus morn
ing enroute for Macksville and they de
stroyed every gate in the line of march,
At Salt River, one mils from here, Dave
Barnett, gate keeper, was made 10 chop
down his own gate and he was told tn
notify the turnpike directors that if the
gate was repaired and money collected
the raiders would not Cnly burn the 10 |
house, but the private property Of tpe
board OF directors These gentlemen N
hav'; ordered the gates repaired and toll
will be collected with an armed guard if
necessary The same warning was CIV
en- at some of the other gates
Over 80 toll gates have been burned o
chopped down since the turnpike wa
begun In Washington county thre,
months ago, and as yet only five arrests
have been made. No convictions result
ed from these. The gates destroyed
represent ! 800 miles of turnpike, valu
ed at 81 600 900 and the state and
county authorities have furnished nI
protection whatever.

THE State convention of county com

THE State convention of county COM
missioners of Pennsylvania held at
Reading recently discussed number of
questions of great Importance to the tax
payers of the state. One of them was
as to whether justices of the peace should
be multched for costs in the petty cases
returned to court without sufficient
cause. The courts of quar- er sessions
of every county in the state have had
uumberless cases of this character to
deal with, and if the county commission
ers will secure the passage OF a law such
as they will recommend for imposing
the costs upon the justices and magis
trates who make return of petty cases on
fiimsy or unreasonable evidence, they
will save large sums of money annually
to the taxpayers.
Probably one of the most important
questions discussed was that of registra
ton. The convention decided to re-
commend the single annual registr alton,
and the doing away with the May regis
tration. This, if passed and it becomes
law, will save the counties of the state
great deal of money yearly, as well as
avoid the performance of work that is
really unnecessary.
Among other matters up for consider
alton was that of praying the state leg
islature to amend the state constitution
so as to classify the cities and boroughs
of the state to the end that all public Of
fcers shall be paid salaries instead of re-
ceiving fees, as at present. The fee sys-
tenn they declare, has been found unsat-
isfactory and burdensome and if the
wishes of the county commissioners are
granted a great and beneficial reform
will have been brought about. Alto
gether the annual sessions of the county
commissioners are certain to work a
great deal of good to the people of the
state.

Acquitted by lhe Jury,

Media, Pa, December eleven
grocers doing business in Chester and
South Chester were acquitted by jury
in the criminal court here to-day of sell
ing adulturated food articles The pros
ecutions were brought under the act of
June, 1895, aimed at the manufacture
and sale of adulterated food and were
the first instituted under the act in this
county. The prosecutor was Albert Sea
bold, deputy state dairy and food COM
missioner The attorneys for the de
fense contended that the lsv should op-
crate against the manufacturer who does
the Bdulterating, and not against the
man who unknowingly sells the articles
This view was shared in by the jury, as
they not only acquitted the grocers as
indicted, but ordered that the costs,
amounting to $400, be paid by the
county.

Winchesters, were on guard all day at
the Forest Coal company's property,
near Archibald, to- day, and under their
protection the company was enabled to
work its mines with about one-half
force.
The strikers took to the woods after
the arrest of five more Of theis fellows
this morning, but they were in an ugly
me cd, and made many terrible threats.
Their women at the boarding house de-
clare the company will suffer the loss of
property for turning the strikers out.
Superintendent Jones said to-day he
would not be content until every one of
the foreigners was driven forever from
the works, designating them as a treach-
erous, ugly crowd.

If anything were needed in addition
to the outgivings of Republican states
men fresh from Canton to indicate the
intention of the yictoGs in regard to the
tariff, full blown hint could be plucked
from the list of demands to be made of
congress by the California Fruit Grow
ers' Convention. No doubt there is
plenty of evidence to prove that these
demands are not merely perfectly rea-
sonable and proper, but that compli-
ance with them will be of great advan-
tage to everybody. Persons who want
governmental bounties are always pre-
pared to demonstrate complete unselfsh-
ness aud riotous patriotism.
California is first in the field Now
let US hear from the wool growers, the
salt miners, the lum bermen, the mill

tyrs to the wicked Wilson bill 1t is an
nounced that Major Mckinley intends
to put in the winter framing tariff bill
to be presented to the extra session he
means to call directly after his inaugur-

rious mendicants of trade make haste to
tell him what they want? Step up ev-

JUDGING from the increasing demand

JUDGING from the increasing demand
from foreign countries for American
iron it does not stand in much need of
protective duties. A late dispatch from
Birmingham, Ala, announces sales of
5000 tons for Liverpool, and also orders
for Rotterdam, Genoa and other points
in foreign countries. A constant mar
ket for surplus southern iron outside of
the United States seems to be an assured
feature of future business. An order is
reported from Detroit for 1000 tons of
pig iron for Budapest of peculiar char
acter, to be used in the manufacture of
car wheels. But the more finished pro-
duct of northern manufactures is also
finding market abroad. The increased
expectation of manufactured goods is
one of the great triumphs of the Wilson
tariff imperfect as il is. Uuder no form
er tariff law has there been such pro-
gress in this direction.
