EDUCATED HY NEWSPAPERS.

Writing under this caption the At
lanta Journal says that the people of
th!s country read and support as many
newspapers as England, France and
Germany combined. and that this is the
explanation Of the superior Intelligence
Of our people. In America the avcra Ee
citizen who learns how to read and write
can become an educated man II he will.
All he has to do. says the Journal, is
to read the newspapcrs-thcy are The
best educator, and 1t Is right
There Is no class of reading half so
instructive as a first-class daily news
paper, and there Is no subject upon
which Il man may want informa ton
that cannot be found in it's columns.
They supply something that books do
not give. nos never will give. The man
who Is regular reader Of the live,
up-to-date newspaper neod never be at
loss for information, either in the line
OF news. history, literature or science. a
frst-class newspaper furnishes all and
in the best possible manner.

ROMANTIC, ISN'T ITc

the Cuban war as 1t relates to the Cap
tain -Generalship OF Weyler, is one
which purports to come from Madrid, to
the effect that 'thc reason why The
nome Government does not recall Gene
raj Weyler Is the fear that he might
refuse TO come home, and that he might
set up n governmental kind Of republic
OF his own. AS the New York Mall and
Express says, III comment Of this fairy
story, nothing could be more weirdly
picturesque than this. It Is as II a pro
fesslonal lncendiary should establish a
fire insurance company among the
scenes Of his lawless operations, or as If
an anarchist, after creating chaos with
sword and torch. should change his
method by organizing Il law. and order
society"

drawn he could moi live there a day.

A CENSOR or THE rREss.

What great folly it Is for 4 great
State like New York to talk Of having
such thing as a censor or the press,
and yet thsut is just what is proposed
In q bin now before the Legislature OF
that State. The bill provides that a
censor shall be appointed for each news
paper published In counties having q
population or 10000 or over 1t is to be-
the ccnsor's duty to read all Of the copy
proposed to be published. and to pre-
scribe and eliminate all matter OF q
libelous nature of the State or any Of
the officers thereof. The censors are to
be appointed by the Governor, and the
State Is to pay one-half and the news
papers the other half of their salaries.
or course nobody supposes for q
moment that the bill will ever become
law, but suppose 1t should what q
great step backward it would be in
civilization.

TEE TIN PLATE INDUSTRY.

Speaking OF the growth Of the tin
plate industry, the Philadelphia Times
says that according to the statistics pre-
scented In lecture at the Franklin Insti-
tute by Mr.. Aver, the special agent Of
the Treasury having charge OF this sub
1ect the growth Of the tin plate indus
try under the operation Of the present
tariff has been phenomenal. In 1893
after three years coddling by prohibito-
ry duties. there had been 35 mills estab-
lished, with q total output or 99Sl9, 2o9
pounds. mere fraction Of the annual
consump tion.wh.ch was all heavily taxed
for this result. In 1896, after two years
Of lightened tariff duties under the
Wilson act the number Of mills had in.
creased to "a and the annual output to
307,22S,G21 pounds, American tin now
fairly dividing the market with that
which Is imported. This is only one Of
many instances that show the folly OF
excessive duties. Not only has the
amount Of American tin made goods in
creased enormously. but the quality has
been preserved. Under the Mex nley IA
riT it was almost Impossible to buy a
decent piece Of tnware Of American
make. The natural effect of high tariff
is to encourage shoddy methods IN MI,
protected manufactures. Our contempt

only the life or trade, but il is even
more essential to its morals, and nothing
could be truer

over the loss OF a large part OF tho ex
ports which that metropolis enjoyed UP
to eighteen months ago. Within that
time, 1t says our Southern ports, nota-
bly, Baltimore. Norfolk and Newport
News. have made inroads upon the
grain and provision export trade Of New
York. and that New Workers. are now
appealing to the Interstate Commerce
Commission to come to its help, but It
is doubtful If 1t will receive any help
from that quarter. However,, the mer-
chants OF that city are making despe-
rate effort to stem the tide which seems
to have set in against them.
The New York Produce Exchange will
present paper before the commission
to-day, in which the effort will be made
to prove that the merchants of that city
are being Disseminated against in the
m1ttcr of freight rates The following
is an extract from the complaint
which will be heard before the commits
sion:
According to average rates on
grain and provisions, the. tlifferential
against New York in favor of Phila-
delphia in 1882 was 2-3 per cent
and In favor of Baltimore was 10 per
cent. AT times during 1896 the per-
centage in favor OF Ba,itimore, New
port News and Norfolk IS said to
have been as high rs 25 per cent. and
~ per cent. In favor Of Fniladciphia.
While New York in 1873 exported
67.98 per cent. of the entire corn crop
which went abroad from the Atlantic
seaboard, in 1896 1t exported but 29.1S
per cent. At the same time Balti-
mores exports increased during the
same period from 22.31 to 29.G1 per
cent. and Norfolk's from 30 to 14.dG.>.
The Baltimore News mildly suggests
that the supremacy of New York as
grain exporting point heretofore was
due to the unfair discrimination
against all Southern ports In favor Of
that metropolis. and says:
THE enforcement Of the dIfreren-
tlal system, (which began with the
operation of the Joint Traffic Asso-
ciation. resulted in 4 redistribution
or traffic which gave to Baltimore
and other Southern ports q relatively
larger proportion Of the grain export
trade, though no larger than they
were entitled to by reason Of their
geographical positions. The differ
entail system, against which New
York grain men have been crying for
the past year or more was suggested
by eN-Judge Cooley when he was 81
member OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission"
Our Lynchburg contemporary adds:
I'VE will only add that the day is near
at hand when the South VIII realize the
splendid natural advantages with which
she Is so highly blessed by Providence
Our two Virginia cities down on the
beautiful bay are fast rising into great
seaports."
The New York merchants thought it
all very well SO long as they controlled
the grain export trade Of the country
but just as soon as they discovered
that the Southern ports were not only
reaching for that trade, but were ae-
tually getting it, they began to COM
plain. The fact is the tide has set this
way and the belief Is that the ports or
the South will not only continue to hold
their business in the export line, which
Is now the subject Of complaint in New
York, but that 1t will continue 10 grow
with each year.
