ELECTRICITY VS.. GAS.
superintendent NOrcrOss Replies to
President Mckay.

President Mckay.
1t is very much to be regretted
that Mr.. Mckay has seen fit to
descend to personal abuse instead
of submitting facts concerning
his company's claims in this mat
ter.
The writer has assumed that as
this was entirely a matter of
business, only the bare facts were
wanted by the interested voters,
and they (the voters) could draw
their own conclusions unbiased
by any appeal to their prejudices
and sentiment. There has been
no effort made to belittle Mr..
Mckay or the company that he
represents. l have not dragged
in any dead issues or cemetery
fences, nor do propose to do SO.
have tried to strip the subject
of all technical expressions SO
that everyone could understand
who reads, and have positively
asserted the amount of light this
company will furnish and pointed
out just how the city or consumer
could determine if they were get
ting all that we guaranteed.
Mr., Mckay has not done this
nor claimed anything more defin-
ite than other claims of some
concerns who do not appear to
have any connection with this
matter. Mr.. Mckay further
charges that I have handled the
truth carelessly in making a COM
parison of the amount of light to
be furnished in the two PROPOSE
tions. If this is so the truth was
originally carelessly handled by
Mr.. Mckay, as have only used
his own figures. The only addi-
tion was that for the benefit of
those who wished to know how
much light 200 gas lamps would
give and how much light So arc
lamps would give. I reduced
them to their light giving factors
for the same reason that a man
buying an engine or boiler, after
learning their dimensions wants
to know how much horse power
they will work out. The light
power in this case corresponds to
the horse power in the other.
We claim 1,2OO candle power
for each arc light. If this is not
so, we ask Mr.. Mckay to dispove
it. We are willing to admit that
Mr.. McKay's lamp will give SO
candle power light each.
We multiply first 1000 candle
power by the number of arc
lamps-3e-and this light power
is obtained 1000 x 36 equals 49,
200 candle power. On the other
hand we take Mr.. McKay's gas
lamp of so candle power, multi.
ply by the number he says he
will put in-2OO-and the result is
so 200 equals 10000 candle
power. A difference in favor OF
electricity of over $4,000 candle
power. Can this be made palmer:
If Mr.. Mckay will pause in his
mad career of vituperations long
enough to disprove any of the
foregoing statements, this is his
opportunity. Respectfully,
j. G.. NORCROss,
rintendent.

Maryland, My Maryland.

In Maryland politics is not the only
thing that attracts attention Just now.
In Garrett the maple-sugar trees are
pouring out their protected sap. In the
Susquehanna the finest shad are running
and carrying joy to many shadbake.
La the lower Chesapeake and its beauti
full tributaries the modest soft-shell crab
has started out for its summer work. On
the Potomac landings the roe herring is
ioundering; from the lower peninsula
the succulent asparagus is coming to
town, and the peach liar has not killed
all the crop. And there are things
pleasant to sight, as well as things
20 be desired as food. From the Ale
games all the way to Sinepuxent Beach
where the Atlantic breakers roar, the
land Is bouquet of blossoms. The
delicate pink of the apple trees, the
| pure white OF the cherries, the deep
pink of the peach trees are everywhere.
The woods are variegated with the light
green of the budding leaves, the white
blossom of the dogwood, the scarlet of
the redbud, and here and there the purple
magnolia. The wheat fields never had
darker green, and the ground in the
woods and by the wayside is sprinkled
and made beautiful with all manner Of
delicate aud modest little wild flowers
awakened into life and fragrance by the
FIST warm days of spring. In the pre-
sence of all this the minds of the people
turn away from tariffs and free silver
with very natural loathing.

1t Is remarkable with what unanimity
civil service reformers are finding e1
cuses for he deposed Surveyor Of Gus
toms at Baltimore, and for the admins
tration which appointed him with the
understanding that his principal employ
ment would be to draw fat salary,
while his deputy performed his own
work anG that of his chief also. The
fact that the Office was given Col. Schley
as sinecure, cuts no figure with most
of these gentlemen, who seem to be
Mortified il some humble station, with
plenty of work and moderate remunera-
tien is sought by some one in humble

are growing very tired of seeing pro-
minent men reap political rewards while

Ship Protection by Tariff

The Republican party has promised
to place a higher duty on imports in
foreign than 10 American vessels so as
to give American vessels the carrying
of such goods To do this the tariff
must be amended, provision for which
has not been made in the pending bill
Il can be, and it ought to be done now
But it has been suggested that this be
deferred until the regular session Of
Congress. If 1t is and an attempt should
then be made to amend the Tariff, it
would be throttled Opposition would
not be against the Protection of our
ships, but against the disturbance of the
Tariff.
A year from now the new Tariff will
be in smooth running order, confidence
will have returned, business revived and
prosperity restorcd-to everything but
shipping. If then an attempt is made TO
adopt the discriminating duty policy we
shall be told that it will mean the re-
opening of the Tariff question, that it
will create distrust, unsettle confidence,
disturb business and revive the Cleye-
land Wilson German conditions.
The pending Tariff bill is a Republic
can measure. The readoption of this
discriminating duty policy is Republi-
can pledge. Whenever it is readopted it
will be part of the Tariff. 1t will be
altogether too dangerous to attempt to
incorporate it in the Tariff act after it i,
in force. If it is ever done it must be
done while the bill is being framed.
1t is then question of redemption or
reputation of a solemn Republican
pledge which will be determined when
tue new Tariff bill is adopted.

prse-Trade Favor Trusts.


There has grown up among many
people stong prejudice against trusts.
The Free-Traders have made use Of this
prejudice for their own purposes BY
spreading abroad the claim that a Pro-
tective Tariff encourages trusts. Like
most Free Trade claims this bad no basis
in either reason or fact 1t has been
pointed out many times by Protection
lists that there could be no inherent con-
nection between trusts and Protection
SO long as there we're many more trusts
in Free-Trade England than in Protec-
lion America. The utter falsity of the
Free Traders charge has been thorough
ly exposed on more than one occasion.
But little further evidence has been
furnished by tn experience of the last
few years since the coming INFO power
Of the Free Trade party. During that
time, there has been a considerable in
crease in the nlmber of trusts. The
formation of these was due directly to
the prostitution of business which result
ed from our step toward Free Trade. :"
In the sweep of disaster brought by the
triumph of Free-Trade, the capitalists
sought to SHIELD themselves and formed
trusts for that purpose. Quite as
noticeable is fact that even in the
'bort time which has elapsed since the
country voiced its decision to return to
the Protective policy many of these
trusts and others too, are totering. The
wire nail trusi and the steel rail trust
have already gone and there is a report
that the window glass trust is on the
point of going to pieces
In the revival of business under Pro-
lection, domestic competition becomes
sharper, prices are fixed at their normal
figures, and trusts for the purpose of
keeping up prices are impossible. I'm
der Free-Trade and the prostration of
business which invariably accompanies
it, competition is at low ebb and trusts
to make higher prices are formed with
impunity. Everyone who thought or
reasoned, knew before that combination
for the purpose of raising prices were
not the products of Protection, though
they might sometimes exist under it;
but from our recent experience under
partial Free-Trade we have learned the
further fact that such trusts are the d.
rect fruit of free Trade.

The man who would expect to gather
roasting ears the next day after plant
ing his corn is more unreasonable than
those who expect to see returned pros
perity before the tariff bill is passed.
Nothing so unsettles business as the
tendency of a tariff measure affecting
importations of articles Of all classes.
The manufacturer is unable to enter
intelligently upon manufacturing opera
tons, and the dealer is unable to place
orders with manufacturer until the rates
and duties upon goods are determined.
Thus there can be no activity in the
manufacturing line until the tariff bill
becomes law, and without activity in
these lines the prosperity which other
industries would feel therefrom of course
cannot be realized.
The people who waited for prosperity
under Cleveland and his trade theo-
ry should not be impatient if it takes
Mckinley and protection four months to
accomplish what the other people failed
to bring about in the other four years.
1t goes without saying that business ac-
tivity cannot grow while all business
undertakings are held in check by the
uncertainty which must exis: until the
new rates on importations are deter
miued

A Russian inventor, NJ. Karnia, has

able people buried alive to communicate
with the other world should they awake
from their trance in the grave. The
invention consists in the main Of but
ton on the inside of the coffin, situated
Immediately over the breast of the APP
parently dead person. If the unifor-
tunate comes to life and begins to
breathe, the first action of the body is
the expansion of the chest; this presses
the button upward and an alarm bell is
set going in the Office of the superin.

means of the alarm Immediately locate
the grave the occupant of which hal
given the signal.
In the mean time until the grave car
be opened an air-giving appliance al

vidsd in the shape of a small micro
phone located just above the mouth Of
the person buried and any sound emit
ted by him can be heard by the atten
dant in the cemetery Office as soon a,
the bell has begun ringing. As fur.
Their addition small electric lights in the
corners of the coffin near the head have
also been thought of and may be placed
there if desired by the relatives. Sim
ultaneously with the giving of the alarm
these lights would begin to glow. A
patent has been given to the inventor
