CURRENT TOPICS

NO clearer exposition of what the rail-
roads have done for the United States
has ever been given than that Which was
embodied in the address of Senator De-
pew, on Railroad Day. at the Pan-Ameri-.
can Exposition. The Senator is every
where recognized as the most experienced
and eloquent advocate Of railroad in
terests that this country has produced
In his recent remarkable address before
his great audience. OF railroad men ana
their friends he declared that transporta-
ton is the most important of the mighty
agencies which have made the nineteenth
the most notable century in the history
Of mankind; that the railroads have OPEN
ed our vast interior areas, and, without
them. the people in the vast territory be-
tween Chicago and the Pacific would have
been left TO earn their living by agricul-
ture. Cheap transportation by railway
has made the vast plains beyond the
great lakes which were the feeding
grounds for buffalo fifty years ago, now
the granary Of the world. It has enabled
the artisan to live. the factory, the mills
and the furnaces to exist, the mines to be
opened, and comforts and Injuries to be
enjoyed by. all the people. Senator De-
pew said that when he entered the rail-
way service, in 1866, freight rates We're
three times what they are to-day, anG.
that railroad bonds, then paying eight
or ten per cent, now yield less than half
that figure. The building of 10000 miles
of railway in twenty years, While it slim
ulated an enormous immigration and set
tlement, also aroused a. spirit OF mac
speculation that ended in a phenomenal
panic. Out of this grew the prejudice
against railway corporations. oppressive
legislation, and opposition to those con-
solidations that We're necessary and that
have proved to be the chief factors in
adding to the public comfort and con-
venience. In these days, the Senator add
ed the railroad service demands. at the

RAILROADS AS EDUCATORS.

= { II
The New York Central Railroad has
recently appointed G.. Leavitt to. "a
new position. with the title Of Lanu-
scape Gardener-in-C Chief. As the term
suggests. his duty will be to promote
landscape gardening along the line Of.
the road.
.The New York Central, Pennsyl-
vania and a few othersroads,. says the
Pittsburg Dispatch, began a system
of improvement a good many years
ago. Certain places along their lines
were selected for the creation of flower
beds and strawberries. much ito the de-
light of their patrons. Those small be-
ginning have expanded into ambitious
schemes of gardening a large part OF
the mileage of these companies, ana
the creation by the New York Central
of a special department for that pur-l
nose. 1T is a proper function of a raii-
road system to exhibit to ITS patrons
the most approved ideas in landscaplns
or Identifying grounds. The example
has already exerted widespread lnfln-
ence. melting private effort to bea!lu-
fying unattractive premises.
.aThe time will come" adds the Dis
patch. ..wilen the traveller along other.
highways than the railroads will be
greeted mt every turn by a new spec.
tacle of color and arrangement. But
first the roads must be improved. An.
exquisite garden can appeal with but
little force to a man driving upon a
rutted and muddy thoroughfare.'
The railroads OF the country are do.
ing a great educational work. We
mentioned the other day that the
Southern Railway Company proposed
to give to people along the line of its
road obiect-lessons in highway build
ins. But landscape gardening, While
not so important as road building, also
has lis practical side. Indeed, road
building and ornamentation so hand
in hand, and, as we have insisted in
previous articles. farms which are
well kept with shade-trees and shrub
berry and flowers and I,thitewasned
fences and painted buildings, will al
ways command better price in the
open market than farms which present
a s!ipshod appearance.

The Case OF Young TAYLOR.

Editor of The Times:
Sir-In Justice to my family and my
brother in particular permit me, please to
correct so,uc false statements that have
snccn made imprint concerning the arrast
and Htrial Of my EDl.ng brother, Cleveland
Taylor.
One paper stated that he and his cl1ulns
together has carried off about $3.50 worth
Of goods. I understand that the prose-
cutor and his wife claim that to be TRUE:
or at least, that the stuff which they had
recovered was valued at that figure. The
warrant stated that the SIX watches. eight
cuff buttons, and one or two other. trifiing
things, We're valued at about S42 That
is to say, the warrant issued against my
brother. understand that only three adj
ditional watches (Which he admitted TAX
ing. together with the above named ar
ticles) We're recovered These are all
which he claims to have stolen, and al
which the evidence introduced proved lie
stole. Yet. claim is made in print that
those things were valued at about $3.50.
This is outrageous, for i myself exam
ined some OF the cuff buttons and found
them to be extremely common plated
goods. and was Informed that the watches
were common silver plated ones,
It was also stated in print that he was
tsthe leader of the party. While | adj
nit that it does appear that ne was
..the leader yet there was no evidence
to prove that he was. On the other hand
there were secreted in the store az lhe
time the goods were stolen two other
boys, and when these three left through
the open front door another one OF their
crowd entered and stole quantity OF
similar goods This is not the first time
he has been charged with being the
leader without any evidence to substan-
tate the claim.
1t was also stated in a newspaper ttiat
,s.the episode given showed that ne had
planned a series of rabberies. deny
that any evidence was adduced to prove
such a statement. On the contrary. he
admits, along with the other boys, ina {
these goods were all stolen on SATURDAY
afternoon last, though they had been.in
the store attending auction sales PRIOR.
thereto
Moreover, the testimony OF the prose-
#cutor was not given from actual KNOW
ge, but simply from belief. aside from
the confession which my brother made
when arrested.
IN the name of high Heaven. give the
devil his due but no more. The Justice
did this. but some of the neWspape don {

THE FREE TRADE IDEA GROWING.

Philip King Il financial writer n
the New YORK Sun, says that it would
be idle to deny that events in the
financial world since the last session
of Congress have enormously weaken
ed the argument for u continuance of
the protective tariff in many lines of
Industry. That is quite true and it is
the more significant as coming from
the New York Sun. Which is high
protection paper. But it is simply in.
line with the remarkable speech which
was made by our LITE lamented Presi-
dent at the Buffalo Exposition, the day
before he was shot down.
Philip Iir:" says in another part
of his article that there seems to be
real enthusiasm in the Republican
narty over the scheme Of reciprocity
treaties With foreign nations. Recl-
procity is only another name for free
trade, and those who fail to see :ilat
the free-trade idea is rapidly growing
i'll this country are blind to the situa-
ton. Our period of adversely was i'll
fact blessing. for during those times
: ) d
of depression our manufacturers learn
ed how tic, produce at the lowest pos
sible cost, and learned that they We're
able ITO compete with the manufactur-
ers of other countries, in spite of the
campaign cry against the 'pauper Ia
bor, of Europe. As soon as this lesson
was learned our. export trade began TO
grow. and it has grown enormously
from month to month ever since.
Wherever the markets are open to us
we can so in and sell our stuff, vet
wages have not been cut but have
been increased. Not only so, but, as
President Mckinley pointed out, it has
now become necessary that we have
foreign markets for our surplus pro-
duets, and we cannot expect that the
| markets Of other countries VIII forever
be open TO us if our markets are for
ever closed against them by q high
tariff.
But apart from all this, the people
| have had an obiect-lesson. They arc
! now asking themselves the very peril
nent question. if American manufac-
| tnrers can compete in the markets of
The. world, as has been abundantly de-
monstrated. why should they have a
high tariff to protect them against
foreign competition AT home? For this
| reason and for the other reasons that
they ilaye stated, the demand for. 2 low
| tariff is growing al the time, aud we
have no doubt that within the next
few years the nld-time Democratic
doctrine of tariff for-reFe nae- only will
| be the established doctrine and prtlc-
ti1,eaz,,t, this. Coy er.nil tall!t.
