THE PRUSSIAN RAILROADS.


Our Consul Points Ont tho Adyan.
tnges Of State Ownership.
Washington. Aug. 25.-Consul Mon
aghan, at Chemnitz, Germany, has sent
to the state department report on
Prussian railroads. "state ownership
of railroads." he says, plays an i'm
portant part in Prussia's finances.
Earning enormous sums. serving COM
merce and manufactures In times OF
peac. and all strategic purposes in
times of war; they have more than Jus
tilted the arguments that urged tha
government to own them and the lib
eral policies that have put them down
and pushed them out into all parts Of
the empire"
The receipts for 1S96-07 have gone
beyond the estimate Of the budget of
1,02O, ,592, 400 marks. and the estimate
the total income Of the kingdom Is
only slightly moro. than 2.000.00O0 COO
marks. After giving statistics in some
detail the consul continues:
mo other branch of public property
pays SO surely and so we'll. The cer-
taInty Of the receipts, their size. -the
case with which they are obtained, their
cash character, render them the most
useful Of all the monies turned into thu
public treasury. How successfully they
are run, in other respects. whether bet
ter than they would have been under
private ownership, it Is hard to say.
The tendency all over the empire is
toward state and city ownership OF
all kinds of transportation facilities.
as well as Of telegraphs telephones
and other means Of communication.

Do the Parks Paw?

All of the Parks do not pay. There Is
Washington park with thousands being
speut on it which up to the present timo
has not paid. There are three steamboats,
plying every half hour between tho park
and Arch street wharf. The rido Is q
pleasant one, taking half an hour and tho
fare has been placed at 15 cents for tho
round trip. Tho electric fountain is said
to have cost $50. OOo, which Is ono Of the

From the war Of the revolution to

An Open Letter to All protectionists.

My Dear Friends and fellow cltzens:-
1t is with tho kindliest feelings of true
brother. hood that pen these lines to you
in which will ask few questions and
you in tho same spirit should answer
them.
My first question is, do you think that
Tariff Tax OH imports protects the Ameri-
can workman against foreign competition?
Second. Do you think that the Federal
Government should levy tariff tax upon
foreign goods and depend upon that tax to
pay over one-third Of the annual expenses
Of tho government? Or, to bo brief, do
you think that tariff tax upon imports
will furnish botn protection and revenue.
II you do, an FREQ to say In the begin.
ming that do not agree with you, ard for
the sake Of finding out tho truth or falsi.
ty of tho question think somo Protection.
ist should take this question up and so l
have found tho publishers Of tho REPUR.
LIgAN to be liberal minded mon and Pro.
tectionist at the same time. | feel certain
that they will open tho columns of their
paper to discussion Of the Tariff question,
] would request any ono who wishes to
affirm that tariff on imports will furnish
both Protection and revenue to answer
this noto through the columns of tho only
liberal Daily Paper in our city. the RE.
PUBLICAN, and will reply through tho
same. j. HOGAN,
