FREE TRADE IN SALT.
It's Cost to the Railroad Laborer and Salt
Producer.

We have been shown letter from a
salt dealer giving quotations he had re-
ceived on a certain grade of salt at
s.. 40, fob. dock in Boston. At that
price, allowing 2 English shillings for
freight from Liverpool, the Liverpool
dealer receives practically So. 80 per
long ton Of ,240 pounds.
The freights from the western New
York saltfield to Boston are So. 40 per
ton of 1900 pounds, ~ cents per 100
pounds or 81 90 per long ton; hence,
to compete with the Englishman, the
western New York salt, producer ms&t
sell at II cents net per long ton. How
can he possibly compete?
The American salt producer and the
railroad laborer lose employment, and
the profit goes to England. The English
man sells at $2.69 net, The consumer
buys salt no cheaper than under protec-
ton, and the sole result of this free
trade gift is to lesser the employment
of American labor.

Democratic Administration Called q Halt
In Construction.
The records of the new railroad build
ing in the United States in 1896, &C.
cording to The Railroad Gazette, show
that TIT miles Of road have been built
in the first half of the year. The total
Is not very different from the amount Of
new railroad which has been construct
ed in the first half of any year since
the Democratic administration in 1898
called halt to progress and prosperity
Last year 622 miles Of new road were
built up to July l, and the record in
1894. only 495 miles between Jan. /
and July 1, showed how decisively ex-
tension work had been stopped. Figures
as to the new track built in the first
half of the year for seven years past
make some interesting comparisons:

1t will be seen how greatly railroad
extension has been checked by the con-
ditions of the past few years, and there
are no substantial signs that any large
relative increase is to be expected in
the near future. Only with the restora-
ton Of protection and prosperity can we
look for return of the expansion of
our railroad systems such as occurred in
the early years Of the present decade.

DEAFNESS Not the Goal.

The silver men give away their case
when they say that free coinage will
increase prices. The one universal
human interest is cheapness. The ideal
condition would be one wherein all de-
hrable things were produced without
any cost at all. Every advance toward
hat condition-that is to say, every
,heapening of the necessaries of life-is
great gain for everybody. On the other
land, every increase in the price of the
accessories of life is direct and griev-
,us hurt to the people.

hope this new trade departure will not
be limited to any particular date, but
that it will be maintained throughout
the year, and we are quite sure that the
American flag at the head of an adver-
tisement will attract customers who are
proud of their patriotism and who pre-
fer buying American goods rather than
the cheap and nasty shoddy articles that
the free traders invite from foreign
countries. Stick to the flag, buy Amer
lean goods and thus help to give en-
ployment to American labor.

The Grand Army of Creditors.

The gentlemen who think that they
have made an attractive bid for votes
by proposing so cent dollar for debtors
to pay their debts with are reckoning
without their host. Every state of the
Union is full of creditors, and they will
never consent to defraud and cheat
themselves.
Among these creditors are:
All persons who work for wages, SAL
airy or by the piece.
All members of building and loan
associations.
All depositors in savings, national,
state or private banks.
All holders of life, fire and accident
insurance policies.
All members of benevolent and fra
ternal insurance orders.
All holders of industrial insurance.
All widows, orphans or wards de-
pendent wholly or partially upon the
income from investments.
All educational and charitable insti-
tutions dependent wholly or i'll part up
ON the income of their endowments.
In fact, the so cent silver dollar
would be of advantage to few persons
in the long run save the spectators,
who would gamble on the inevitable
fluctuations in its purchasing power and
in the price of commodities. Exchange
