IF This Be Treason.

No one has ever accused Frank Eddy
of being anything else than good
republican. The former congressman
has always fought like "a Trojan for the
republican party and its principles; but
Mr.. Eddy is like many Others who have
labored for the grand old organization
He is not standpatter, but believes in
safe and sane revision of the tariff
the removal of the duty from trust con-
trolled goods and reduction of SEIZED
ules on the necessities of life. If this
be treason to the republican party, the
disciples of standpattism are invited to
make the most of it. In recent is
sue of The Sank Center Herald Mr.
Eddy discusses the tariff as follows:
Ninety per cent of the money spent
by ninety per cent of the people of the
United States is spent for the necessities
of life.
Their necessities can be numbered Oh
the fingers of ones two hands.
These necessities can be and are, al
most without exception, produced in the
United States cheaper than in any other
country in the world.
The parties that produce these neces-
sites not only control the markets OF
the United States, but have large for
eign trade and in many instances they
sell them cheaper to foreigners than
they do to the people at home.
A man who argues that a protective
tariff is necessary to protect the pro.
ducers of such commodities is either a
man utterly incapable of understanding
the question or is paid advocate of Gin.

The luxuries of life can be produced
in foreign lands cheaper than they car
in the United States and the man who
advocates the reduction or abolition OF
duties on this class or articles is ar

OGLE CASE RECALLED.
Transfer Of His Home to Mrs. Thos
O. Jones.

The Ogle residence on Baker avenue
has been transferred to Mrs Mary
Jones, widow of the late Thomas O.
Jones, for $4,000. The attorneys on
both sides of the case are very reluctant
to speak about the matter or to say
whether the transfer represents full
settlement of Mrs. Jones $500 claim
against Judge Ogle. Before Mr.. Jones
death a settlement had been arranged
whereby he was to take the Ogle home
and 5000 in money, but he held out
for $500 more and the who'e deal fell
through.

nomination and election of one of his
chosen cabinet ministers and personal
friends. The plan is to make the sec

railroad rate legislation, created a stew
over the Panama canal, will not do any
thing toward enacting reciprocity trea-
ties with foreign countries, and have
kept up constant fire of criticism of
the administration.

Freight Rates Forty Years Ago.

Freight rates have always been an alb
sorbing topic for discussion. The pres
ent contention that the charges for haul
ing wares are high is not new one.
Forty years ago the early settlers in
these parts complained against the freight
rates. The following article published
forty years ago illustrates the condition
of the public mind at that time:
The burdensome and even ruinous
freight rates which are imposed upon
our farmers by the avaricious and tyran-
nical monopoly which seems to own the
upper Mississippi river, as well as the
various railroads connecting with it for
eastern points, have aroused our farm
ers. One Dakota county farmer figures
that fifteen out of every 100 bushels of
wheat that he takes to Hastings is APP
propriated by these vultures without any
consideration whatever. But monstrous
as the extortion practiced by the monop-
olists upon the farmers living upon the
borders of the upper Mississippi, their
burdens are light compared to the grind
ing and ruinous exactions imposed by
the same Ubiquitous combination upon
the farmers of the Minnesota valley. The
Dakota county farmer gets 90 cents for
his wheat when he should get at least
.$l.l5, while the Blue Earth county
farmer gets but As or so cents per BUSH
ell, when he should get at least ST, and
he would get it but for the shackles
which these Shvlocks of the river have
thrown over the wheat trade of that vi
cinity.
We have thrown down the gauntlet to
the monopolists, and understand very
well that in so doing we have arrayed
against us combination of ill-gotten
wealth and despotic power and unscrupu-
lous craft, which will neglect no means
to punish us for daring to assert the
rights of the people against the ire
sponsible junta of steamboatmen; but
we, nevertheless, propose to fight it out
ON this line" till the Mississippi river is
i.emancipated from the chains of mon
opoly-until the rights of commerce and
industry are vindicated by "a free, open
and unrestricted competition in all the
/ channels of transit, and until all the
farmers of Minnesota are secured in the
well-earned fruits of their honest toll
against systematized robbery.
| The question has been asked how has
| it been possible to increase the rates per
bushel from st. Paul to Chicago from
cents to 20 cents inside of five years
when there are plenty of boats on the
river willing to carry it at much less
rate. The answer is very simple. If
an independent" boat were to take a
load of wheat from any point north of
La Crosse, the connecting railroads (all
of whom are in the combine) would re-
| fuse to take the freight. But it is new
er allowed to get this far. The steam
ed officials are simply notified that they
connot do business on the upper Missis-
sippi, and they at once retire.

other countries. Since 1897 our exports
of manufactures have doubled. In the
fiscal year ending June 80, lS97-the
Dingley law went into effect July l,
lS97--we exported $277 1855, 900 of man
ufactures. In the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1905, we exported $543,62O,0OO
of manufactures. In the first ten months
of the present calendar year we have al
ready exported $447 900 Of manufac-
lures.
And this export development has been
in the face of two factors that have
worked against san increase in our sales
abroad, such as would have been ex-
perienced by other nations under SINH
lar advantages of production. In the
first place, there, has not been an effort
all along the line, as there is in Great
Britain, Germany and France, to find
foreign markets. Many of our manu-
facturers are indifferent to foreign ex-
perience, have failed to compete as they
could if they took the opportunity as
seriously and worked as earnestly and
thoroughly. as their foreign competitors,
or as they themselves work in the do
nestle field. The reason for this indif-
ference brings us to the second factor. 1t
is that in many lines the domestic de-
mand has been so great that the capac-
fill the orders. In one case, that of
steel, two or three years ago, the domes-
that resort was had to foreign supplies
in spite of the heavy duties. Under
such circumstances the surplus left for
export is not large. Yet it is in the
face of this indifference and this ac-
tual inability to fill foreign orders that
our exports of manufactures have doubl-
ed. Had they been pushed as Germany
pushes its products they would probably
be now at least three fold or four-fold
what they were in 1897. When almost
of their own momentum our exports
double in less than nine years, when in
certain lines the domestic demand ex-
ceeds the domestic supply, when in
many lines it is found possible to pay
railroad and ocean freights and yet I'M
dersell foreign competitors in their home
markets, and when to sell in this
country the foreign exporter must not
only overcome this difference, but pay
the freight. it is time that duties I'M
necessarily high should be adjusted to
the new conditions.
A general revision is desired by most
republicans who have any views at all;
but, if that cannot be had, they want
special revisions in the form of reel
procity treaties or minimum schedules
that will help open to us desirable mar
kets abroad. To them the notion of still
further protecting Industries that long
ago ceased to need any protection would
be amusing if it We're not symptomatic
of the preversity or the stand patter and
of his blindness to the increasing exas-
peration of the rank and file of the
party.

TO ASCERTAIN COST.
Also Feasibility. of Moving Bridge
Across Rock Creek

Ii was learned late this afternoon that
Colonel Biddle has directed Engineer Doug
lass TO ascertain the cost and feasibility of
removing the bridge across Rock creek on
the Inc of Woodley lane and erecting that
structure at Q street, instead of removing
the Thompson bridge to q street. Colonel
Biddle it is understood, believes that the
Thompson bridge is too light TO be placed
across Rock creek at Q street, and If it is
found that the Woodley lane bridge would
be more satisfactory it is possible that
structure might be moved To q street for
tie accommodation of the Georgetown citf-
Eens.
The Woodley lane bridge, ii is stated, cam
not be removed for at least two years yet,
but after the new Connecticut avenue
bridge is finished 1t is believed that the
Woodley lane bridge can be abandoned.
The delay in securing the structure might
BE considered as an argument against re-
moving that structure. but after the esti-
mate has been obtained as to cost of re-
Inoyal the Commissioners Will decide upon
the matter.

steamer Concho, which arrived at New
York yesterday from Galveston, reported
that Tuesday. at 1890 am, in latitude 80

rugged steamer displaying the letters u.

Was Bound for Boston.
The Newport was on her way from San
Juan for Boston when she struck heavy
weather and lost her propeller. Being pro-
vided with sails, she was not entirely dis
abled by the accident, but owing to adj
verse winds and stormy weather she has
not been able to make much Roadway since
February 3, when she was reported a short
distance southeast of Cape Hatteras. The
vessel Is -staunch and seaworthy and the
officials of the Navy Department feel no APP
prehension as to her safety. Naval tugs
have gone out from Norfolk during the past
few days in search of her, but so far with
out success. The Hornet searched fof her
all day yesterday outside of the capes and
returned in the evening without having
sighted her.
Confidence is expressed at the Navy De-
partment in the safe arrival of the New
port in Hampton Roads in few days at
the latest, and it is not unlikely that she
will turn up there tonight or tomorrow.
With favorable winds she could easily
make the run from where last sighted to
the Virginia capes inside of twenty-four
hours, and change in the direction of
the prevailing Northwestern will bring her
into port without much delay.
