The growth of American interest in the
automobile carriage, which may be said
to have begun less than a year ago, has
not been short of marvellous, and the in
terest continues TO become greater day by
day We began to develop the automo-
bile three or four years behind France.
but according 20 Mr.. Thomas A. Edison
we are now making better machines than
France and in the next six months We
shall be a long way ahead of the rest of
the world.
Since last winter, or say, within six
months. there have been corporations
formed for manufacturing or using auto
mobiles the aggregate capital stock of
which is estimated to be more than $3.50
600 CO., and during the past few weeks new
corporations have been chartered at the
rate of four per week. Meanwhile the
patent office in Washington is flooded with
new inventions calculated to cheaper the
cost of the carriages or their motive
power, or otherwise increase their popu-
larity. There are said to be at the time
not less than seventy manufacturing con-
Germs in the United States engaged in
building automobiles. Many of the BIZ
cycle, sewing machine and carriage man
ufactories have established departments in
which automobiles are being manufac-
tured. 1t is estimated that in actual cash
va.ue, not less than $5O,0OOOOO is at present
devoted to the production of horseIess We.
hicles. This does not include of course
corporations the purpose of which is to
operate or sell the vehicles, but merely
those concerns which are at present or
will shortly be engaged in building them.
With SO much money represented in the
business, it is sure that the general intro
duction of the automobiles will be pushed
vigorously.
1t is a matter of much interest to know
that Mr.. Edison, the wizard of invention
has recently perfected a new automobile
which he says viii considerably cheaper
the price of the carriages. His vehicle he
says, is light compact, simple and safe
end so easily managed that a child can
run il. 1t is as safe as a church." SAYS
Mr.. Edison, to which he adds that lis
keep" viii cost less than one-ffth that
of a horse, while the price will be no
more than $500 or $500: about what fair
ly good pair of horses and buggy now
cost During the course of his interview
Mr.. Edison made this rather startling pre-
diction: From present indications 80 per
cent. of the horses now in use Gin the
cities) will be replaced by this late inven-
ton (the automobile) in the next year and
a half"

rHE RuLI sTREEr PAvEMENr

The city authorities ought not TO hest
tate about the kind of pavement they Will
use on the north end of BuH street. There
is only a small part of the street TO he
paved and the wiser plan would be to
have the pavement of that part of the
street south of New Houston street UNI
form. II would be a mistake. il seems to
US, to pave couple of squares with eth
cr brick or asphalt.
If we understand the situation correctly
there is no fault to be found with that
part OF the gravel pavement which is com
posed wholly of Augusta gravel Complaint
Is made of that part on which gravel from
Liberty county was laid. If there is no
fault found with the Augusta gravel the
proposition of the Augusta Gravel Com
pany should be accepted by all means. The
proposition Is an extremely liberal one, al
though it is practically u business one. If
1t should be accepted the entire street
from New Houston street to the govern
ment hospital would have an extra coat
ing of gravel furnished free at the
pits by the gravel company. Such an ad-
dition ought to be sufficient to keep the
street in first class condition for several
Yeas
In order 10 insure the permanency of the
pavement ii is probable that the street,
instead of having shallow brick cutters
at the sides, should have pretty deep
drains. The drains would permit the water
which soaks into the road bed during
heavy rains to pass off quickly. A water
soaked road of gravel yields easily to
heavy traffic. The reason probably why the
county roads have stood the traffic on them
so well is that they have bitches of con-
siderable depth on either side of them 50
that the road bed becomes dry very quick
" after a heavy rain. On Bull street the
surface water runs off promptly, but that
which soaks into the gravel. and into the
soil beneath stays there until ii gradually
dries out or is absorbed by the surrounding
soil. With proper care in putting down
Augusta gravel it is pretty certain that ii
would make an admirable paving material
for this city.

THE TARIFF WALL MUST COME
DOWN

In the course of an interview with the
newspaper reporters on his return from
Europe last Saturday Senator Depew
said; The competition of our products in
European markets proves that the time
lis coming when great many protected
articles must be put on the free list. If
they can be sold cheaper and better than
foreign manufactures, our tariff wall must
be gradually taken down to meet the
changed conditions"
That was a remarkable admission for
Senator Depew to make He is one Of the
Republicans who always contended for
the protective principle. He is beginning
TO see, however, what Democratic lead
ers have asserted to be a fact for many
years, namely. that the tariff is used by
certain of our manufacturers to compel
domestic consumers of their products 10
pay more for them than the same articles
are sold for in foreign markets. For in
stance, Mr.. Carlisle pointed out years ago
in his speeches in the Senate that agrl
cultural implements and machinery Of
American manufacture We're sod in South
America and other foreign markets at
lower prices than those for which farmers,
living within a few miles of the factories
in which they were made, could get them.
Il is a fact that we are selling to Eu-
ropeans many articles on which there is a
high protective duty, thus showing that
we can beat the rest of the world in man.
ufacturing them, and that the manufac-
turers of them have no need of protect
i've tariff Why is it then that they con-
tinue TO insist on having a protective tar
if? The reason is that they can combine
and make the home consumer pay higher
prices for their products.
There is no doubt that a demand for tar
if reform will be one of the issues of the
national campaign next year. Evidently
Senator Depew thinks it will or he
wouldn't have said what he did relative
10 the time coming soon when our tariff
wall would be crumbling. He heard enough
while in Europe about the successful com
petition of our manufacturers with those
of England and other European
countries to convince him that our adj
vaucement in manufacturing has been so
great that we have nothing to fear from
the manufacturers of any other country
The chief reason of our superiority in
manufacturing is that our workmen are
better They are more skillful, and can
turn out a great deal more work i'm day
They get about % per cent. higher wages
than the WOrkmen of England, but they
turn our 1878 per cent more product, which
is of a better quality than the product of
English skilled labor With such an adj
vantage there is no need for protection In
this country. The work of taking down
the protective tariff wall ought to be be-
gun as soon as possible.

Took Senator Clark at His word.

In the fierce rivalry for the United
States senatorship in Montana, between
the Clark ard Marcus DAILY factions, many
amusing stories. true and false, were told
by heated partisans says the Philadelphia
Evening Post. The point in most cases
consisted by the contrast afforded by the
early careers of the Two men. Marcus
DAILY rose from a poor miner to be one
of the copper kings of the West while
Clark began his western career as a col
lege-bred man. The speeches and letters
of the latter were models or good English,
but on one occasion his fastdousness in
expression worked unexpected results
He had laid out a handsome lawn in front
of his house, and TO prevent the towns
people from walking on the grass he built
a board walk over it ana put up the fol-
lowing sign:
TAKE THE BOARDWALK"
This sign instantly caught the public
eye, and next morning the sign and board
walk had both vanished, and in place Of
the former was rudely lettered placard
bearing this inscription;
