burning the candic at Boil, Ends,

1t is notorious that the steel trust
charges in this country at least 80 per
cent more for its product than it sells
them for to Englishmen, freight paid,
at Liverpool. Why should we burn
the candle of American industry at
both ends by taxing steel for the profit
of the trust and then taxing the people
again to pay subsidy to boats built
out of trust steel?-Boston Post.

Wage. and cost oe Living.

In his report TO the British foreign
office Sir Percy snnderson, British con-
sui general in New York, presents some
roseate figures rs to the conditions of
labor in America. He says thar in
the three years preceding 1901 wages
In New York for instance rose from
$2.TS to $2.91 in sixteen leading trades.
But 1t is not to be forgotten that
against this increase of 1G per cent the
cost Of living rose 26 per cent. 1t
makes little difference how much a
mans wages increases II decreased cost

Mr.. Hill had also noisy greeting.
He devoted his speech largely to Il
severe arraignment of the administra-
tons policy in Cuba and the Philip,
pines. He praised Hoar and scored
Roosevelt. On the subject of Demo
cratic unity he said:
"There is substantial accord among
the Democrats of the country upon all
the timely issues which are now en-
crossing public attention.
1--WE are all united in favor of the
preservation OF constitutional liberty
wherever our flag floats. We are OPP
posed rs the permanent policy of this
government to the maintenance Of de-
pendent colonies to be governed outside
of the pale of the constitution.
1--WE are all agreed that the civil
Aould always be superior to the mill
tary power.
I'VE all concur in the principle that
public taxation should be imposed for
public purposes only.
1--WE all favor freedom of commerce
md therefore favor genuine reciprocity
With foreign nations. but are all OBJ
posed TO sham Republican reciprocity,
which is only another name for Repub,
lican Hypocrisy"

Judge j. G. Cook, general solicitor In
Iowa for the c., NJ. & st. p. Railway,
has launched his fight against the execu.
tive council raising railroad assessments
and stated that he would be able to make
n showing, that if given proper consid-
grafton, would result in reduction In
stead of an increase of the Milwaukee's
assessed valuation. Whit he proposes
to do is to show that the farm lands of
Iowa are under-asscssed and appeal to
the council as an equalizing board. Plans
entered into by the Milwaukee are Of
an elaborate character. They include the
sending of railroad attorney to every
county in Iowa for the purpose OF Sc
curing record of all transfers OF land
and the consideration of the sales. Then
each piece of property will be investigat-
ed to learn what assessed valuation Ind
been placed upon it. The statement Is
made by Judge Cook that figures will
shaw that the assessments will not aver
age 10 per cent of the actual value and
that there will not be county In the
state where the assessed value will reach
more than 10 per cent Of the actual. The
examination of land transfers begun by
Judge Cook will extend over period OF
eighteen months, taking the year 1901
and six months Of the year 1902. Judge
Cook is here looking up Polk County's
transfers. He stated that he will be
able to show to the council that the peo-
pie who have been clamoring for iucreas-
ed taxation of railroads are the very ones
that are under-assessed. 1t is evident
that the railroads are preparing to resist
IN THAR nj
,sessment of railroad property. Several
roads have had attorneys here ut various
times. 1t is expected they will have
more figures and oratory to offer the coun-
Gil at the railroad hearing than there
has been in all the former hearings.
