Strangely Silent.

Wautesha Dispatch The Repub-
'ican press is strangely silent respect
ing the prevailing low price of wool.
With the protection of prohibitory
tariff and prosperity'getter Mckinley
in the White house, au active market
mt good prices should exist, but unfor-
tunately for the politically over-cred-
ulous wool grower, n light demand
and poor prices prevail at present.
Possibly the probability of Demo-
cratic success has quccrcd the mar
ket. But whatever the cause, wool
prices are now seeking low level,
and an explanation would seem to be
demanded from the Republican press.

The letter recently written by Hon.
]. w. Babcock TO The Southwest
Wisconsin has attracted great atten-
tion, and has been reprinted and dis
cussed throughout the length and
breadth of the land. Ellis b. Usher,
who Is travelling extensively through
ont the West for The Milwaukee Jour
nal, finds that Mr.. Babcock's propo-
sition "to reduce the tariff on goods
that can be sold In competition with
all the world at less figures than
they are sold for ST home, is attract
ing most serious attention and sup
port" The press and the people
earnestly demand lower tariff tax
alton. In The Journal Of last Satur-
day Mr.. Usher says:
at is plain that great majority
OF the Republicans OF the west are
fully awake to two propositions In
politics. One is Of international i'm
portance, t. e., that the United States
must let down the prohibitive tariff,
and give as well as take, If she does
not want TO invite dangerous reprls-
ais upon her commerce with the
world. The other Is matter Of par
ty politics. No party can successfully
meet public sentiment as the avowcd
sponsor for trusts that sell at high
prices to home consumers, and yet
compete successfully and with fair
nrnHt with a. II the world
"If Mr.. Babcock makes n serious
contest for his proposed bill he Will
have "a united west at his back

Congressman Babcocls, In n letter to
the editor of The Southwest Wisconsin
Mt Linden, says, ~ maintain that 1t
il part of the policy of protection to
protect the consumers That sounds
very nice, but Mr., Babcock's constit-
uents would think he were more In
earnest were he to look aftor their In
terest In lumber first.
The above is reprinted from The
Platteville Witness, and recently n
similar expression of editorial opin-
ion appeared in The Mineral Point
Tribune. What do these two long
established and orthodox Republican
newspapers mean by actually admit
ting that there Is something wrong
with the lumber tariHp For forty
years they have insisted that the for.
eigner pays the tax and that high pro-
lection reduces prices. OF course an
open confession is good for the soul;
but what must their readers think
when they come to realize that they
have been misled 10 these many
wears? Who ever expected the lum-
Der barons or other bonehciarios of
the spoliation system to make much
fuss over the iniqultics of high tariff
taxationl The high tariff organs are
the most to blame. Instead of pub
fishing the sophistries of the Home
Market club, they ought to have adj
yocated the wholesome doctrine of
commercial freedom, and the logic of
events would ngt have placed them in
so awkward n predicament US they are
at present. The tariff is n tax, and
AZ levied and collected under the
Dingley law, II very burdensome tax
on American citizens A reduction of
tariff taxation would mitigate the
evils of trust combination, and great
ly reduce the burdensof the people.

NEW RAILWAY PLANS.
The Construction of the Gettysburg
Road to BE Commenced.

The project for the Washington and
Gettysburg Railway has been revived and
it is understood that all preparatory plans
have been carried through and that con-
struction viii begin early in the coming
autumn.
Tbs plan of the projectors of the line is
to connect with the Metropolitan Branch
of the Baltimore and Ohio at Rockville
and to use the tracks of the Baltimore
and Ohio into the city from that point.
This arrangement was made with the Bal
timore and Ohio some time ago. but more
recently there has been some doubt
whether the management of the road still
cared to grant the same privilege. 1t was
learned yesterday that the arrange
ment has been renewed. II is understood
that an important Eastern railway man.
agement is backing the projectors of the
venture.
The other projected railway out of
Washington, the electric line to Balti
more, is also understood to be completed
except the building" The statement is
made that the Cleveland and Akron syn
dicate that is planning the new line has
just closed the deal by which it comes
into possession of the charter of the
Washington and Annapolis Electric Rail
right to construct a railway from Wash
ington to Annapolis with branches, but
its charter will be used for the purpose of
building the tine in such a way that
direct route win be followed from Wash
ington to Baltimore with branch to An
napolis.
The charter has been held by r. Z. Ger
hardt and ID. NJ. Ludington- of Baltimore.
1t was obtained from the Maryland Leg
isature several years ago. but was not
used. 1t was conveyed to the Cleveland
Akron syndicate last Monday. James
Christy, jr., of Akron, and J. n. Wilcox.
Of Cleveland. completed the transaction
for the syndicate. Temporary officers of
the company have been elected as follows:

c. w. ColliTter, of Cleveland, Ohio; VIII
liam J.. NJ lrbury. Carroll T. Bond, and
Frank Cos ell, of Baltimore. Mr.. Christy.
President; Mr.. Miller, Treasurer, and Mr..
Wilcox, Secretary.
1t is stated that construction of the line
will begin at once Officers of the COM
pany are not ready to describe its route
as yet but surveyors are already in the
field
The representatives, of the corporation
say that the company proposes to con-
struct a first-class line and to operate
large. doubie-truck cars, like those of the
Ellicott City line, but better equipped.
The cost of the line will be about s1,5GO. 900.
They declined to say where it viii enter
this city, but it has been reported that
entrance may be obtained over the City
and Suburban, while 1t has also been said
that the line may enter by way OF 1.-The
line TO Benning. Mr. Christy declared the
new line will be of standard gauge.
