The Engineering News" keeps
a CLOSE watch on the extent to
which American trusts use pro-
tection to sell their products
abroad cheaper than at home to
American consumers. 1t knows
what it is talking of, and says of
the operations of the great steel
trust. "The contrast between
trust prices for iron and steel to
the home consumer and to the for
eign consumer has been often set
forth, but 30 frequently denied
that some actual figures may be of
interest A recent cable dispatch
from England states that Ameri-
can wire rods are offered delivered
in Manchester at &c GO 30) per
ton. Market quotations in the
United States are $50 per ton.
Adding cost of freights, etc., it is
clear that the wire rod maker is
netting at least $15 per ton more
profit from his American custom
srs than from his foreign sales, 1t
is not strange that the iron and
steel magnates depreonte any in
terferenoe with tile tariff" The
trust no doubt effects Economies
of production" but the trust and
the foreigner, not the American
consumers. get the benefit of
cheaper production, The trusts
naturally think tho present tariff
satisfactory, and Mr.. John Dalzoll,
acting as their mouthpieoe, op-
poses any interference with their
advantages, enabling them to sell
abroad cheaper than at homo.
We do not believe, however, that
this can be made permanent ar.
rangement, 1t embodies the tariff
issue of the future.

Sometimes of course, people
grow old with bad grace. They
become embittered by misfortune,
affliotion, or are peevish or un
reasonable under the goading of
ill health. All the more do they
appeal to great gentleness and
faithfulness. We should keep i'll
mind that we, too, are fastening
toward the sunset of life, and that
it is possible that we may ripen
into very uncomfortable old peo-
pie, to demand much more of
patience and devotion than we as

Lack of Enterprise.

We clip the following from an.
exchange, which Point Pleasanton-
ians might read and re-read with
profit.
ut matters not how many nat
ural advantages town may have,
these alone will not enable it to
grow into city. Everything de-
ponds upon the public spirit and
enterprise of her oitizens. Ifthere
are men of sound business judg-
ment who strive to promote and
advance the interests of their town,
disadvantages may be overcome,
and the growth and the progress
of town effected. There are
many towns to-day. some of which
possess advantages that would
greatly aid them in growing into
large cities, but which are at a
standetill and retrograding if not
advancing. Then again there are
other cities that have scarcely any
natural advantages but which have
grown with a startling rapidity and
continue to progress. The cause
of the failure of one class of these
places togrow into large cities, and
the other class to advance, is the
lack of enterprise of citizens in the
former case and the display of en-
terprise in the latter. Enterprise
is the name of the thing you do
when you reach after more trade"

to guarantee Banner Salve for letter,

The political friends and sympa-
thizers with the murders of Sena-
tor 4oebel, who are in prison for
their crime, complain that the
confinement and restrictions OF
prison life, is reducing and weak
ening the prisoners, who were for
merly strong and robust men.
There is nothing strange or unusal
al about this. Prison life has that
effect ON all men, and why should
it be expected to have different
effect on theseP They merit all
the punishment that can be intiiot-
ed, for they are hardened in crime
if not in physical endurance. A
