FIGURES MEANT TO MISLEAD.

Figures never lie, but men often do
and men who wish to conceal The
truth can draw false differences from
| figures.
An instance in point is that of Q
magazine writer who undertakes tc
prove the absurdity of saying that
the United Kingdom has free trade OF
even low rates Of duty compared with
ours" He settles that question after
his fashion by saying:
In the fiscal year ending March
81 1904 the United Kingdom raised
from. duties on imports the sum Of
e33,s2132S sterling, or about s169,.
100000 Having a population of about
forty millions the customs collections
Of the United Kingdom amounted to
about si25 per capita. During our
corresponding fiscal year ending June
30, 1904, the United States collected
from duties on imports 1851 ,274,565.
Our population being then over eighty
millions, we raised from tariff duties
only about 1925 per capita. or a dol
lar less than the United Kingdom"
No one will dispute these figures
and no well posted man is ignorant of
the fact they were intended to mis-
lead. We do not know OF anyone who
objects to collection of revenue
thro.gh a tariff The Democratic
nartVsas nnlsooposed to revenue tar
III. but to protective tariff. Great
Britain's tariff is imposed on a very
few commodities-mostly tropical pro
ducts II is so devised ass to avoid
protection. If it enhances the price
Of a commodity the government gets
every cent Of the increased price
Every dollar the people pay as ind.

well, but the Paducah team because
OF their displeasure over a decision
of the umpire early in the game made
a mere pretense of playing the game.
The visitors lost sight of the fact that

considered only their own feelings

rights Of their auditors When ball
players begin to think less Of them

better patronage of the game.

ARMOR PLATE CONTRACTS.

Q Secretary Bonaparte has decided tt
between three companies, at the low
" est bid. He thinks or pretends to
think that the company putting in the
lowest bid could not make and deliver
the armor plate.
The Midvale steel company was the
lowest bidder. and wished the entire
contract. 1t offers to give bond for the
prompt delivery of the plate. On the
other hand the Carnegie and Bethle-
hem steel companies and the other
two concerns, though al first making
much higher bids, say unless the gov
| eminent will divide the contract with
them they will be Obliged TO shut
down their plants. They are willing to-
| take the contract at the lower bid. OF
course they are, and they will make a
! handsome profit out of IL. They have
until recently been making all the ar
NOR plate for the vessels of the navy
and have charged exoroitant prices.
The armor trust composed of the
two companies that are now to be fav- !,
ored by Secretary Bonaparte in this |
matter has been more brazen and |
more exorbltant than any other com
bnation It's charges have been
proved so outrageously excessive that
bill came near being passed even by
Republican congress providing for
the manufacture of armor plate, by
the government. These companies had |.
enough influence to kill that bill, and
now they have enough influence to get
part of the contract In spite of their
higher bids, An interesting
subject for the next investigation
wOud be the nature of the hold these
companies have on the trust bust
ing administration. In explaining his
act Secretary Bonaparte says:
The secretary of the navy Is con-
yineed that The best results would be
in this case and the most ex-
peditious delivery of the armor in
question would be secured if the con-
tract were divided between the three
bidders. II seems TO him clear that II
would be against public policy and the
best interests of tine naval service,
and, more especially. would seriously
affect the assurance of good result,
and expeditions delivery of materials
under this particular contract. if the
government were to find itself
obliged to trust to a single armor plate
plant to supply its needs, all Ameri-
can competitors having retired at
least temporarily from the business,
and the purchase of armor abroad or

The truth, and the plain inference
from these words is that it would be
much better for the country If armor

A FINE RECORD.

That the present city council has
been very busy framing and adopting
ordinances Is generally known, but II
is generally not possible to Judge OF
matters or things or acts except by
comparison. A careful inspection OF
the ordinance book for some years
past and statement of the number of
ordinances passed heretofore will give
a better idea OF the extent of the work
done during the fifteen months that
Mayor Parsons has been in the execu.
tive chair of the city. These records
show that during the two years Of
Mayor Wright's administration A or.
dinances of all kinds were passed ::
during the two years of Mayor Win
ter's administration 20 general or
dinances were passed and during the
fifteen months of Mayor Parsons adj.
ninistratlon "A gercTal ordinances
have been passed, or two more than
during the four years of the two pre-.
vious administrations.
II must not be inferred from this
that the other administrations we're
lacking in merit because of failure
to pass more ordinances. for eff.
cheney in the public service does not
necessarily mean the passing of many
ordinances. Then, TOO. 1t must be
taken into account that most of the
ordinances. those indeed, which re-
feet most credit upon the present
mayor and city council. are for public
improvements. which could not be
made effective under previous admin
istrations because of unfavorable state
laws

Easthaven's Water Works
System to Be Put in Op-
GRAFTON Today.
HAD ADEQUATE CAPACITY
THE STAND PIPE, 115 FEET IN
HEIGHTH HOLDS GREAT TANK
GALLONS.

A new water works system, cost
ing $4,000, completed last week at
Easthaven, Monday morning will be
put in commission today for the first
time. The plant has been under
construction for over year and is
one of the best of it's kind in any
public institution in the state. The
old water system was inadequate and
it was necessary to build a larger and
more modern plant.
The main feature is the great tower
with its tank holding 10000 gallons
This standpipe is lis feet high and
is Is feet in diameter and is substan-
TALLY built to sustain great weight.
The tank will be kept full of water
by pump drawing from five deep
wells. There will be a constant pres
sure for all ordinary purposes and
in case of emergency. there can be
pressure created capable of resist
ing any fire that may occur. There
will be a study pressure of So pounds
to the square. inch, when formerly
the pressure was only about 80 lbs
The plant has been tested and
found to be satisfactory. This is one
of the most important improvements
that has been made at the Hospital
pital grows there will be sufficient
water supply without building an ad-
ditfon to the plant.

TRACTION LINE WINNER
SUNDAYS EXCURSION WAR
The Dayton e. Western Carried PAS
Special Rate Passengers to Dayton
Yesterday While the Pan Handle
Had But. Fifty Seven.

The Pennsylvania Lines excursion
to Dayton yesterday took 81 people
out of Richmond, while the Dayton &
Western, the electric road, sold 245
tickets at the local station. This Drac-
tically marks the end of steam road
competition with electric lines for ex-
cursion business. Dayton can be
reached by the electric cars in two
hours, and cars run hourly. The
steam road can haul train in half
hour less time, but there is only one
train a day on which the cheap rate
tickets are good.
One car from Dayton yesterday, on
the d. & w. showed by it's indicator
and register that 154 fares had been
collected during the two hour trip. A
fair average from thirty to thirty-five
cents. making the receipts for the
run between $45 and $50. Traffic on
all cars was nearly as heavy as on
this one.
