/ ;al;c,H great amount of gall these
da.. r.: ;!Sshrt that our numerous pro-
tcctctl lis are not continually ard
habi.Ia. : selling Their products cheap
or TO foreigners than TO americans. but
tie Republicans are unlaun. j by any
amount Of evidence. evca when il
comes from protected Republican Ean-
~ufactur2rs.
Numerous projected manufacturers
were before the Ways anG means com.
mittce OF Jan. IL ar uing in favor OF
the Lowering bill to enable the manu-
~facturcrs 70 obtain drawback duties
without iden;' ing the imported raw
F material. The uill is all right. for Il
would en:DL' the manufacturers TO sci,
still cheaper to foreigners without in
any way iniUring Americans. If Mr..
Lowering would introduce another bill
to give the manufacturers free raw
material to make goods cl:eap to us. we
would applaud still louder. bat his
party does rot Lelieve III giving US
cheap gooGS.
During this hearing Mr.. ". Is. Sea-
yer Of the National Wire company
said that steel billets and raw material
cost about $40 less a ton abroad than
at home.
rs there 2ey II company or corpo-
ration that controls the price of raw
materials in this country" was asked
by q member of the committee.
Il should say yes" replied Mr.. Sea-
YER. that being the United States Steel
corporation"
What has been their action toward
raising or lowering prices:' Mir. eros
venor asked.
Their policy has been to retain the
prices at such q high level that the IT.
dependent concerns have found it very
difficult to live" replied Mr.. Seavcr.
III reply to q question he said. Il
know it to be a fact that in spite OF the
enormous demand of this country cer-
tain companies are still holding on to
the export business 1T prices which l
know are very much less than those
obtained in tlis country"
Il know that they have offered wire
rods in Canada at Il price which is sew
eral dollars less than they offered the
same rods for domestic USE said Mr..
Seaver in reply to a question with ref
erence to foreign selling by the United
States Steel corporation.
Mr.. Swanson of Virginia asked,
when you sell your finished product
do you sell it abroad at less than you
sell it at Eome?" Mr.. Scaver said,
Yes. sir: because we get the benefit of
the drawback"
Mr.. G.. Ii. Cramp. the great ship
builder. said that steel Eiliets cCst 50.

Thus we see the very nature OF Re
publican tariff laws is TO encourage
manufacturers to sell cheaper for eX-
port than for domestic use. But rot
One-half tie goods exported at lower
prices than are charged here are goods
on which drawback duties are OBJ
tanned. The trusts have no excuse for
most of this high handed robbery. and
in fact none is necessary SO long rs tie

E ExILED IN SIBERIA.

The keynote is struck comparatively late in the book: .
 When we arose in the morning we knew exactly what the day would bring; indeed, one knew beforehand what the next day and the next week and month would contain. One knew the manners, customs, inclinations of every comrade in misfortune; could tell what each would be likely to say or do on any given occasion, and sometimes one would long to run away and hide and never see their faces again. But there is no running away; every min- ute of the year you are obliged to en- dure the company of those others, and to burden them with your own; there is not a moment in which you can be alone, not a corner in the common room to which you can withdraw for real pri- vacy.
 In these words one seems to read the real horror of the sentence of exile, and to men of keen and quick wits, itching with the desire of doing, there can be no more horrible punishment than that of this life, whichf stretches itself with monotonous uniformity be- fore and behind them, while they feel themselves and their capacities for &C., tion slowly fading as the years pass away.--London Mail.
The daily morning journal and courier., 1903-12-21
THE 1OO-MILE TRAIN.

We note with pleasure that our space devouring friends at Zossen have not yet satisfied their hunger for pace and touched the record the other day for no less than 14O miles per hour. They seem to be overcoming air pressure rather comfortably up to the present, and we>have heard nothing about the motors failing or the pressure caving in the front end of the car.
 Perhaps the doubting gentlemen who figured on the motors burning out from overload at eighty miles per hour to 100 miles per hour will now be convinced that higher speeds are both possible and practicable. One hundred and for ty miles per hour is decidedly hot pace, but it will more than likely be beaten before we go to press. It has taken good many years to evolve the two-ninute trotting horse, but this year we have him in duplicate, and just so it has been with electric railroading. Once the records began to break, they fairly blew up and left only, small frag- ments.
 One hundred and forty miles per hour even if not outdone by considerable nargin-still means that the hundred mile-an-hour train is much nearer to reality than it has ever been before That speed is quite feasible whenever it is demanded, and it is, moreover, quite high enough to meet the require ments of humanity for some little time to come. Its real importance lies. as we have often remarked, in its application to long lines on which the saving of time would be material Cutting down the running time to Flatbush or Hack ensack may defer the dyspepsia of the commuter for another season or two, but it is not commercially important. It is cutting the time on long runs that counts-reduoing the time to Washing ton to less than three hours, and con- verting the trip to Chicago into a mere nights run.
 It is now announced that the experi- merts have been conducted largely with the idea of the early application of the system to the railroad connect ing Berlin with Hamburg and that an early conversion of that line is by no means improbable. Somehow the hun manifestations train looks nearer than it did few months ago, and our spyglass is still trained in the direction of Germany-Street Railway Journal.
