EXORBITANT TERMINAL CHARGES

-
THEY ARE DRIVING AWAY EXPORT GRAIN BUsr.
NESS FROM NETWORK
To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: The subject Of terminal charges and ter
minal facilities In the city Of New-York is again
being agitated. This has been done time and
again, 10! these many years. but to little
purpose. In the mean time. exports OF produce
from other ports are constantly increasing
while from NewYork they decreasing AS
your correspondent. Mr.. De Puy. says, with the
exorbitant terminal charges II Is a wonder New
York gets bushel Of grain for export. Think
Of 1.-THE lighterage charges In New-York is
greater than the cost Of transporting grain from
Lake Michigan or Lake Superior ports to Buff
falo! What Is being done to lessen this charge?
MI. Nor will there be anything done so long
as transportation officials interested in the
lighterage and elevator companies
1t seems to an outsider a scheme TO fool tho
people Of the State by spending $1600OOOO to
enlarge the canals, that are already large enough
to do the business while doing nothing to lessen
charges at New-York or Buffalo. But I guess
It is all right; let the other ports do the bust
ness! The chief business Of the State and the
city Of New-York seems to be politics

Chicago Timcs-Herald: Queer things
happen at funerals" said a clergyman
recently who has OBLIGATED at many,
land I remember one occasion which
impressed me greatly on account of the
standing OF the family IN which 1t hap
pcned, as well rs from the peculiar cir
cumstances surrounding the incident
the bestowal OF money upon q dead
man."
The narrator vas urged to relate the
story. and on the promise that no names
would DO mentioned, he continued:
1T was n funeral at the house Of one
OF my p~arlshioners. and 7 was greatly
surprised when I received notice to at
tend and conduct the services. 7 had
not heard OF any member OF the family
being III, nor had 1 been summoned to
the dcathbed. but 1 jumped to the con-
clusion that 1t was an old servant who
had died,
TT proved to be a bad son-the black
sheep OF the famlly-whose shadow had
not darkened their doors for years. but
who. It was always believed, had been
supported ut n distance far enough to
prevent him d~issracins IT, family by
his misdceds.
Now he was brought home dead. and
i was expected TO give him as little
blame and as much praise as was con-
sistent with the dignity OF my office and
his relation to the family.
Il need not so into that part OF the
ceremonies, but come TO what I consider
the real expression OF feeling which
consecrated the memory of the man as
nothing TINT l said could have done.
Just before thc'caskct was closed his
old mother arose from her scat with the
mourners. and, approaching the dead,
slipped q silver dollar into his vest
pocket.
Jim never liked to be without money
In his pocket she said, with a low.
trcmulous voice. Many's the dollar
I've slipped into his pocket unbcknown
TO him. but he always found Il and was
thankful. don't expect hos going to
need 1t now. and maybe he Will never
know that mother put 1t there, but
somehow ] shall feel better IL he has IT,
And felt that tho who had
loved much and forgiven much had
preached n sermon Of forgiveness and
mercy before which I with my platI-
tudes must remain dumb"

could reasonably be expected 70 say on
the subject at the present time. His ex-
pressions must necessarily be conserya-
tive and cautious. An American under
less restraint than the secretary OF state
can speak more freely. MS. for instance.
Senator Cushman X. Davis, chairman OF
the foreign relations committee. who
says that while the traditional policy OF
the United States IS non.in,erferencs
with the affairs OF other nations, he can
conceive OF a condition OF things that
would "constrain the government to de-
part from that policy"
II Is Is not to DO considered that, ~ our
commercial relations were threatened
abroad. we would Isl. with folded hands
and make no Sign" Under such circum-
stances Mr.. Davis thinks that a coalition
with England In order to maintain these
rights might become q necessity,
Representative Dlngley. and other
leaders in Congress. do not expect that
any such emergency will arlse. Mr..
Dinghy arguing that a partition OF cki-
ma by the powers would mean the derel-
opment OF the territory and that the
United States would get Its share Of tho.
increased trade. Tho Views OF those
close to the administration seem to ugree
that there is no reason to apprehend that
this country will be drawn into the COM
p!lcations that are developing. and that
there is an unnecessary amount OF sem
~eational speculation being INDUCED IN.
1tis hoped that they are right.

Pig Iron aud prot.silon.

Pig Iron nuh Protection.
The pig Iron production OF the United
States In 1897 Is estimated at 1O,ooO,O 900
tons, which IS an increase OF almost a
million and a half tons over the year pre-
vious. when the production was s.623.l27
taas. no details OF the production for
last year are Set available. but those OF
1895 shew that &. that year Pennsylvania
led all the producing states. hec product
being nearly half of the entire output.
Ohio, Illinois and Alabama came next, In
the order In which they are named. A
feature OF the showing. however, was
that Pennsylvania produced $4,000 tons
!ess in 1856 than she did In 1895. while
Ohio produced 367,is3 tons less and I'LL
ncis so,s52 tons less.
This docs not mean that the total pro-
ductlon OF pig iron in the country that
year was less than in 1895. for It Is shown
that. while there was a falling OF IN the
states named. there was a heavy increase
in four states in the south. which made
up the total for 1896 named above. In
Tennessee. North Carolina. Virginia and
Alabama big gains were made. the out
put by Alabama being almost equal to
that OF Illinois. This is an interesting
fact as showing t.:at the pig iron indus
Try is becoming more general. and that 1t
IS no longer confined to two or three
states.
When It Is considered that thirty years
ago the production OF pig iron in the en-
sire country was not more than twenty
FIVE per cent OF the product OF Pennsyl-
vania alone In 1886, VIC begin to realize
the rapidly o; the growth OF the indus
Try under the protective policy OF the
government. The building up Of the
Industry and its marvellous growth in
so short a time. since 1865. IS not only an
evidence OF the efficacy of protection as a
fostersr OF industry, but the history OF
prices OF pig iron shows that It benefits
the consumer as well.
The statistics show tina. the increase OF
production has been no more remarkable
than the decrease IN me price. Inc SHl-
cago 1nter-occaIf quotes figures which
show that IN 1872 No. l foundry pig iron
sold for 14S IS per ton; in 1856 the price
was s12 IS per ton. While shis falling of
in price has been very great, attention is
called to the fact that wages have not
fallen in any such proportion, and there
Is no apprehension that they ever will.
The history OF the growth OF the pig
iron production in this country within
the past generation. almost, has demon
etrased three facts which bear out the
claims OF pro,ecdonlsts. First. that a
result OF protection IS an increase OF pro-
ducts. Second, that the wage rate has
been maintained in greater proportion
SEan prices. Third. that the price has
Eeen decreased to the consumer. It Is a
striking object lesson which may also
be: found in other lines OF protected In
dustrles, and which Is evidence OF the
wisdom OF that policy. IN spite OF all the
theories OF thc free traders to the con-

The course OF the opposition to Senator
Hanna in the Ohio legislature Is calcu-
lated TO disgust the entire country. It is
almost indrcdible that malice on the
part OF legislators can be carried TO such
an extreme as to move them to introduce
tax bills into the assembly. which have
for their sole purpose the qualification OF
a personal feeling OF revenge against a
candidate for the United States senate

in great enterprises which have helped

These actions have no patriotic. pur-
pose or no desire to benefit the public for

solely and avowedly aimed at an indl-

money in enterprises that give employ

zens OF the state. in order to embarrass
him and 10 further the basest combine,
involving party ~treachery and personal
malice, that was ever formed In any

carrying out a most ubiquitous conspira-
cy, in which the public is treated to the
spectacle OF benehclaries OF Repub-

ing not short OF forgery and bribery, to
encompass the defeat OF the very Repub-
leans who are now IN alliance with the

No wonder the honest Republicans OF
the entire state are rising In their indlg-
marion and dcnouncing the treachery of
the men whom they had trusted, and OF
whom they had supposed they had every
reason 10 expect an endeavor to faith
