A COSTLY RAILROAD WRECK.
The Atlantic City Disaster Cost AImos
Million In Claims.


CAMDEN, N. j., Jan. 27.--The rail
road accident which occurred ON the
Atlantic City meadows last summer,
when Philadelphia and Reading
flyer ran into a West Jersey train, and
resulted in the killing of 44 people and
the injuring of about 100 more, has
proven very costly one to the rail
roads.
Since the accident the companies
have been settling the claims for dam
ages outside of courts. 1t is estimated
that thus far they have paid out in
damages sum amounting to nearly
81 100000.
One of the latest claims to be settled
is that of Mrs. Samuel Mita. She
brought suit for 100000 damages for
the death of her husband and one
daughter and the iniuring of herself
and a son. The company it is said has
given her $50, 600 in settlement.

1t seems the contest over the treasury
portfolio is exceedingly warm. The New
England Senators are divided on ex'
Governor Long and Mr.. Coolidge, and
strong influence at Chicago is urging
Banker Gage. Editor Kohlsaat, of the
Chicago Times Herald, long a devoted
personal friend of Major Mckinley, is
the great potential force in favor of Mr..
Gage. 1t is hard to say who will win.

The talk is that Speaker Reed is
opposing another edition of the McKin.
ley tariff Of 1890, He seems to occupy
now very much the position that Blaine
did then. All he seems to desire in the
new tariff bill is to avoid additional pro.
lection and increase the revenue in some
lines. That is, he wants revenue tariff
and not protective tariff.

BY the recent report of the British
trade unions for the year 1895, we learn
that 4lS unions gave during the year
s2,671 ,9l0 to members out of work; e..
529, $50 was given in cases of sickness
and accident; superannuated members
were given $645,03s; and the funeral
fund took s4l6 $50. Here we have a
total ofs5, ,265 600 distributed to members
of unions in the way of relief, while the
report shows that sl,060,030 was spent
in labor disputes. For every dollar spent
in labor disputes five dollars were ex.
pended in works OF relief among mem.
bers Of the unions While the report
covers only 4l8 unions out Of 1872 in
Great Britain, it is probable it includes
all the more powerful unions.

Our exports last year exceeded the
value of the imports by 1915 600, 900.
This is ordinarily healthy sign, show
ing the balance of trade largely in our
favor. But under Mckinley rule we are
to have McKinleyism in the shape of
tariff for protection, which always upsets
and disarrang trade. This is history.
We suppose, however, that selfish greed
must again rule and the people continue
to suffer. The reform this country needs
is not increased tariff taxation but re.
form in money matters. We must get
back to the constitution OF the country
and the free coinage Of gold and silver.
Business in this country needs cheaper
money and in order to secure this, greater
abun lance is necessary. We must get
away from this monopoly Of money
which is controlled by a few money
kings. These money kings control
