PROTECTION VS.. REVENUE ONLY.

The T.-R. presents today, in the form
| of selected paragraphs from Governor
Cummins' campaign speech, con-
lnected story of what the governor
said regarding protection as 4 national
ipoliey. From these few snort para
graphs reader can get the meat of a
very strong argument by a very. able
lawyer and statesman.
For fear that presentda disc ission
Of conservative revision Of the protect
live tariff schedules along protective
tariff lines should lead one to believe
that the progressive republican is
drifting to the democratic view of a
tariff for revenue only, and TO answer
a charge OF this kind made by the
Istandpatter and repeated by the demo-
cratic speakers. Governor Cummns eX-
plains the fundamental difference be-
tween the two policies. He shows one
10 be a tariff for the purpose of pro-
teeting and building up home indus
tries as well as for revenue: the other
a tariff levied on what we do not pro-
duce for purposes Of the greatest reve-
nue. to be obtained.
With this fundamental difference es-
tablished the governor argues that no
man, even tho he believes some sciled-
tiles to be too high. car support the
democratic platform uniess he is ready
10 destroy all protection TO American
Industry and levy tariffs solely for
revenue purposes. He exposes the
trickery of democratic orators who
would appeal TO those voters who con-
demn some one specific schedule by
giving them welcome to the democratic
fold.
Discussing protection abstraetly the
governor will not admit, even with
ss.,r:s republicans. that protection IS
wrong theoretically. Ha believes II the
duty of governments TO bar out foreign
manufacturers who would invade our
home markets just as much as II is
TIER duty 10 protect their citizens from
the hostile invasion of foreign armies.
AS proof of the practical success of
protection the governor turns eloquent
ly to the experience of the past. His
statistics of American progress and
commercial development under pro-
tectiye tariffs tell marvellous tale.
They speak specifically for protection
las public policy even to those who can
not understand the theoretical reasons
for It's wondrous results. At another
time we will present in brief form what
the governor said as TO the Iowa re-
publican platform and the protective
tariff views known SIS the Iowa idea

Here and there all over Iowa one
hears frequently an expressed opinion
that "our railroad commissioners
amount to nothing" This is not in
tended. by these critics. as q personal
accuse ton. but as against the system
of railroad commisslonership in Iowa.
One man said TO the writer. "A railroad
commissioner in Iowa is a mere figure
or If they have they don't use 1t. They
dare not order in a farm crossing on a
railroad without consulting the divis-
ion superintendent" This man lived
near LeGrand. And only last week the
Looker-On heard an excited talker ex-
claiming that the railroads of Iowa
selected the candidates for railroad
commissioners on both the democratic
and republican tickets, and thus had a
dead open and shut" whatever that
may be. One thing can BE- stated With
out going into Mysteries. and that is
the railroad commissioners of the east
ern states do amount to something.
What they say goes. Aud If the people
of Iowa want more power given our
commissioners, or more exercise OF the
power they already have, there's way
10 bring it about.

HlNpRAMces 70 HIGH SPEED.

The Engineering News, as quoted by
the New York Tribune, calls attention
to some hitherto imperfectly recog-
nized embarrassment which must at
tend the operation of railways at very
high speeds. One of these was indi-
Gated by an American expert only a
short time ago. He expressed the
opinion that it was not practicable to
control, by mechanical means, sigma.
at a greater distance than 1000 feet
from the tower. Where trains are run
az anything like sixty miles an hour an
interval OF $500 feet is now OCCASION
ally provided between the distant
and home" signals that guard the en-
trance to each block. The momentum
of moving mass does not increase in
direct proportion to its speed, but far
more rapidly. Hence our contempo-
gary estimates that If velocity of 100
miles an hour were developed the dis
tant signal ought to be placed about
$500 feet, or a mile and half, from
the tower. The suggestion ds startling,
but the difficulty referred to is not in
superable Electricity can be trusted
to operate signals at a much greater
distance than mechanical agencies, like
compressed air: and eventually it will
doubtless be more extensively used for
a;c
What seems to the Engineering News
I more formidable hindrance to safe
being talked about as possible is the
shortness of the time in which an en-
sfneer would be obliged to recognize
signals. A hundred miles an hour
means lat feet a second. When IA
yorabie weather conditions prevailed he
would at that rate have seven seconds
in which 10 identify a signal 1000 feet
off. In actual practice. tho, 1t often
happens that visibility IS limited to zoo
or 800 feet. Under those conditions,
and with such a speed as has been as
sumed, he would have only a second
and half or two seconds in which to
observe and determine the position of
i. semaphore. if it were daytime, or to
see and note the color of a light by
night OF course, if the speed We're 12I
or $50 miles an hour his difficulty and
the risk to passengers would be CORE
spondingly increased.
The problem thus raised is serious
one, but It's solution can not be pro-
nounced hopeless task. When in
ventive genius has had a fair chance TO
wrestle with it, several available ex-
pedients may be found. 1t is conceiva-
BILE, for instance, that an idea which
has already been suggested for slightly
different purposes may meet the re-
