MULTIPLET TELEGRAPHY.
MERCADIER's METHOD OF SENDING SIX
TEEN MESSAGES AT ONCE.

MERCADIER'S METHOD OF SENDING SIX
TEEN MESSAGES AT ONCE.
A system of teIegraphy. invented by NJ Merca-
dier and making il possible TO send sixteen mes
sages simultaneously over one wire is just now
attracting fresh attention in Paris according 10
THE Herald's" cable dispatches The scheme is
not new, and has been described 10 the French
Academy Of Sciences by the author two or three
times before one of these occasions was on
March 70. 1900.
The general plan employed differs from that util-
ized by Edison IN his quadrupleX system. and from
those Of other workers this field. with the posi-
BE exception Of the late Henry a. Rowland, OF
Johns Hopkins University, who able to send
eight or ten messages at one time and print them
besides
Both MercadIer and Rowland have used alternat-
ing instead of continuous currents. The French
man employs different rate of frequency in the al
formations for each message-say, % for one. 40 for
another. and so for third. So far as sending Is
concerned, this IS very easy. Each sender operat-
ing an ordinary Morse key has his special branch
wire. through which flows alternating current OF
its own special frequency. The several branches all
unite with single trunk line, and pour their mes
sages into IL like many brooks dscharging into
a river. The all important thing is the method Of
separating the messages at the other end and
switching each out TO its proper branch

separation IS effected by somewhat similar means.
He can adjust each branch circuit that, while al
formations Of any frequency may get into il, only

on Friday evening, May 1901
for the purp nse of nominating
three candidates for the Board of

The several ward meetings last

this position Messrs. n. O'Berry,

AN INVITING ISSUE.

According to the New York
World, Representative Babcock,
of WISCONSIN, a Republican mem>
Der of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, who introduced a bill at
the last session of Congress look
ing to tariff reform reports a
strong sentiment its in favor
among the Republicans of the
West.
"The ouly opposition I have
encountered" be says, "comes
from a cl SIS Of people who look
upon the tariff with the reverence
to be rald a Chinese Joss-to be
worshipped, but not touched"
And be declares: "The question
will be brought squarely to the
Republ can party in the next cam
pa'gn. why do you permit a
tariff to remain on articles which
can be produced here cheaper
than elsewhere?' What will be
made to that propositiong"
That is a very pointed query.
Andrew Carnegie several years
ago .intimated that protection was
no longer needed to the extent
that it had been. Some others who
have profted under protection and
made fortunes largely through its
operation, also confess the truth
of his statement and even go
further now by declaring that no
protection whatever is needed by
a country which is driving other
nations from the markets of the
world, as the United States is do
ing.
AS MI. Babcock says, high
protection is a sacred sort of
thing with the average Republi-
can politician. He fears that if
one brick is removed from the
tariff wall the entire structure
Will tumble. Mr.. BabcOck and
those of his way of thinking are
trying hard to flank the Dem =
Gratis on the tariff issue. They
are smart enough to see that it
will be a wise political move for
then to make, since the absurd.
ity of high protection is every
where apparent, and II e country
is ripe for sincere and thorough
tariff reform.
But 1t is doubtful if they will
be able to muster a sufficient fol-
lowing in their own party to make
their efforts effective. Meanwhile
tariff reform-a Democratic doc
trine- again offers itself to the
De nocracy as a most inviting
issue.
