Tariff Robbery.

The price of steel rails in the home
market is $2S per ton, and they cannot
be bought for a cent less. That is
the bottom price for all the mines
and railroads within the United
States. If, however, your railroad
| lies in Canada, or Mexico, or even
in Cuba. the case is entirely different,
and SO is the price.
Last week gentleman who is
more or less known all over the world,
Mr.. e. II. Hartman, purchased tWen-
ty-eight thousand tons OF steel rails
for a railroad he owns down in Mexi-
co. and they are to be delivered free
on board ship at $40 per ton. Now,
should the Western Maryland Rail-
road Company go into the same
market and purchase twenty-eight
thousand tons of rails they would cost
the company $224,000 more than the
Mexican companies paid for them
That is protection, with a big P. 1t
is Dingleyism rampant 1t is the tri-
butte the steel trust eXacts from the
American consumer. 1t is the price
the people pay for the blessings or
Republican rule. 1t is concession
the Republican party grants the trusts
as compensation for their enormous
contributions to the Republican cam
paign fund. Observe how neatly It
works. The trusts furnish whatever
money may be necessary to buy the
election. it being clearly understood
that they (the trusts are to fix the
tariff schedules and as matter Of
course American consumers generally
in the end pay the freight. Every
dollar comes out of the pockets OF
the people, and the trusts are happy,
the Republican party is happy, being
in power and reveling in patronage,
and both laugh in their sleeves at the
ease with which they rob the Ameri-
can voter.
How long is this iniquitous scheme
of fraud and corruption to be permit
ted to exist? The Republican party
has promised time and again to re-
wise the tariff and eliminate these out
rageous Determinations against the
home consumer, but has never kept
faith with the people. What reason
is there to believe they will ever do
it? Invest them again with power,
and they will interpret it as an en-
dorsement of their policy of tariff
discrimination. The only way in
which a thorough revision of the tariff
system can possibly be brought about
is by a political revolution that will
send the Republican party into re-
tirement.

Testimony of Another Manufacturer.

| In an interview with The New
York Herald at Interlaken, Switzer-
land, Mr.. John D. Walker, of the
Walker Company of shoe manufac-
turers in Buffalo, says: 1T is a re-
markable thing that in the face of
low wages in Europe we outstrip the
competition solely owing to the
superior intelligence of American
workmen." Such is the answer of
business man and manufacturer to
the miserable jargon of the Republi-
can platform that it is necessary to
protect American labor by adjusting
the tariff in accordance with the diff
| ference in cost of production at home
and abroad. The platform pretense
of adjusting duties with regard to this
alleged difference is a confession that
| the Dingley tariff is not framed on
such basis. On the contrary it is no.
torious that this tariff of denominations
has for it's effect, if not for its delib-
crate intent, the encouragement and
fostering of industrial monopoly at
the expense of the masses of the
American people, including the work.
ingmen whom this tariff processes to
protect. Through what other agency
could the great predatory combina-
tions, the Trusts, flourish apace in
this land?
There is nothing remarkable in the
fact that American workingmen who
receive much the highest wages going
in the world should outstrip the ill
paid labor of Europe and Asia. Of
the economic truth that the high
wages which intelligent and self-re-
specting American workingmen Sc
cure tend to lessen the cost of produc-
ton there is abundance of evidence
in every branch of industry requiring
skillful application. Formerly the
employer endeavored to obtain labor
DIT the lowest wages. Now the aim
of liberal-minded employers is to pay
the highest possible wages and the
others are compelled to follow suit
The great economic truth to which
the tariff-mongers shut their eyes in
their subserviency to the Trusts is
witnessed in a multitude of American
exports besides shoes, of which the
shipments abroad last year amounted
to S11 ,65S,323 in value. A mere ran
dom glance at the returns of trade
reveals the immense variety of these
manufactured exports, of which the
value in 1907 amounted to upward OF
$500, 100000 Mowers and reapers
cars and carriages, finished manu-
factures of all the metals, steam ma
chinery of every description, electri-
cal apparatus, cotton and fax manu-
factures, typewriters and cash regist-
ers, iron pipes, and fittings, and
houses ready for erection, comprise
but a portion only of the multitude
nous exports of the products of the
intelligence and skill of highly-paid
American workingmen.
Nearly all of these manufactured
exports are subjected to heavy trib-
utes to the tariff-nOurished Trusts
for their materials-tributes from
which the competing manufacturers
of Europe are exempt. In the new
conditions created by these monop-
lolistic combinations the intelligent
manufacturers of finished American
products are for the first time in har-
mony with the masses of consumers
This spontaneous alliance is what
foreshadows the early and inevitabfe
downfall of the party OF protection
and privilege.

Good Roads Pay Ten Per Cent

Danville, Pa, August 23.-An inves-
tigation made by Postmaster w. l.
Gonger throughout those sections OF
Montour and Northumberland coun-
ties that have rural free delivery has
demonstrated that improvement OF
roads in the past year has resulted
in an average increase of 10 per cent
in the value of farms.
Farmers of Montour county, especi-
ally, have devoted a great deal of at
tention to the highways during the
past year, and declare that few in

All that evening Ann Rose n1rted
desperately with Chester Laidlaw.
Mrs. Baker looked ON In stern disap-
proval and when bedtime came she
drew her daughter aside: what do
you mean, Ann Rose, a-cutting UP with
the boarder? Where's Wenzell?
thought he was going to stay to tea. "
"Wenzell Is a slow poke, and l never
want to see him again" breathed Ann
Rose indignantly as she freed herself
from her mothers grasp and closed her
bedroom door,
4 half hour afterwaTd it Numbered
loudly and a fash of lightning cut the
outer darkness Mrs Baker hurried
around and closed windows. She
creaked into her daughters room,
throwing a colossal shadow from the
candle in her hand.

ly. 1.-THE boarder's down tn the parlor
scared to death of the thunder! He's
got O kitchen chair with the legs set
In four tumblers, and he's got his rub

what all. He's a great ntnny. The
lightning's as sharp as l ever see it
The south meadow hay viii be ruined

Ann Rose leaned on her elbow and
looked through the window. whats
that down in the meadow, motherT'
she asked. Watch the next fash"
It came with q crashing roll Of thun-
der, and in the bright glare the hay
field lay before them like a painted
picture, broad sweep Of stubble with
here and there a stack of hay and IN
the midst a mans solitary form pitch
ing hay vigorously.
"Who can It beT whispered Ann
Rose wondering1y.
There's only one man bereabouts
who'd take the trouble and risk his
horses in that open field ON a night
like this Just to save a neighborHs hay.
It's WenzeIl~
The girl did not reply. She stared
fearfully out at the terrific storm.
Through It all the man in the south
hay field stoftd1y pitched hay ON to
the brimmtng wagon. Then he mount
ed the load and drove toward the barn.
'1'm going down to open the barn
door," cried Ann Rose sharply, and she
sprang from the bed and hurried into
some clothing. As she flashed through
the pasaor she cast a contemptuous
glance at the boaHder. sGoosew she
sneered, but be was too miserable to
cape
Wenzen Beebe found the barn door
wide open, and he drove in Just as
the first great raindrops fell He slid
down from the load and closed the
great door tightly; then In the inter-
mittent flashes that came through the
wide cracks he saw small white clad
figure leaning against the corn bin.
TITS me, Wen7ell," sobbed Ann Rose
weakly 'T was dreadful scared when
saw you down In the field, and
knew then If anything happened to
you I'd never be happy again." She
sobbed the last words on his broad
shoulder, and his great hand caressed
her hair softly.
Don't you care, honey" he wtis-
pered. IT was a great gump to get

"But you're awful brave to get IN

DEATH" sobbed Ann Rose Historically.

The urret Battery,

Early in the nineteenth century, in
1872, Colonel John Stevens conceived
the idea Of the construction Of an iron
plated vessel Of war with Il saucer
shaped hull. propelled by screws so ar
ranged as to give a rotary motion to
the structure. The battery was to be
OF the heaviest ordnance Of the time
and the plating heavy enough to resist
the shot Of similar guns at short range.
The main purpose of the craft was
harbor defense, and the plan of action
was to moor the vessel by chain
leading down through the bottom of
the ship at its center and to spin it
around this center, firing gun after gun
as it came in the line Of fire, thus an
tlclpating the later Timby turret, which
IN turn WAS the germ Of the modern
monitor a,morclad. Such Il vessel was
actually built half a century later by
the Russian government and was 4
good representative Of the first Stevens
battery.-Cassier's Magazine

$Where he had obtained the greatest
