In Their Attitude on the Tariff Uuen -11,.n the Two I*nrtle* Occupy the KvlreineN of r>octrlne unil Policy. The Ile|»iihlicun View. The tariff issue has never been more clearly defined or more sharply drawn than it is in the national campaign of HHK. The Republican and Democratic parlies seem at a casual glance to have been brought nearer to each other than heretofore as regards the tariff ques tion. That is the first impression like ly to be gained from a reading of the tariff planks In the two platforms. Closer examination discloses the error of this conclusion. The two parties, in fact, were never wider apart as re gards spirit and Intention In the treat ment of the tariff. For example: REPUBLICAN TARIFF* DEMOCRATIC TARIFF PLANK. PLANK. Protection which We denounce pro guards and develops tectton as a robbery our industries is a of the many to en cardinal policy of rich the few, and we the Republican par- favor a tariff llmlt ty. The measure of ed to the needs of protection should al- the government, ways at least equal economically admln the difference In the lstered, and so lev tost of production at led as not to dis horns and abroad. criminate against any industry, claßs or section, to the end that the bur dens of taxation shall be distributed as equally as pos sible. llere are the two extremes of doc trine. The Republican view is that protection is a cardinal principle and that it guards and develops domestic industries. The Democratic view is an absolute negation: Protection is a rob bery of the many to enrich the fev, The two propositions are entirely anti thetic. If protection, in the belief of the Democratic party, Is a robbery by which a few are enriched while the general mass Is plundered, why, then, protection Is an outrage and a crime which the Democratic party will at the earliest opportunity undertake to sup press with stern and implacable rigor —namely, by the prompt repeal of all protective features of our tariff system. Of course the Democratic party will do this. It must. Again, it will be noted that two to tally different theories and purposes govern the principles which the two parties profess as to the function of a tariff. The Republican design is that the rate of duty should always be high enoti.li to cover the difference in pro duction cost here and In countries where labor earns one-half or one-third the wage that prevails in our own country—that is to say, the duty should be adequately protective. Not so the Democratic design—quite the reverse. The tariff is to be so regu lated as to supply the needs of the government, economically administered —a noiiprotectlve tariff, a tariff for rev enue. Being a tax merely, it is to be "so levied as not to discriminate ag.;!nst any industry, class or section, to 1 he end that the burdens of taxation shall he distributed as equally as pos sible." in the light of the declaration that "protection is robbery," which does dis criminate between classes and sections and which docs distribute the burdens of taxation with criminal inequality, we are led irresistibly to the conclusion that "the two parties, in fact, were nev er wider apart as regards spirit and in tention In the treatment of the tariff." II would be well to discard the delu sion that In the platform adopted at St. Louis the Democratic party lias shown itself to be "sane, safe and con st rvative" on the tariff question. Let no one indulge himself in this halluci nation. Hatred of protection lias never been stronger and the purpose to abol ish protection lias never been more set tled In the minds of the Democratic party than at this moment. Reverberation. An exchange remarks that Mr. ('lev land may assure himself that the country will not forget him as long as I try a n lives. It is true that Colonel I'ryan is a pretty loud talker and that he works his mouth on full time, but the country would remember Grover all right If Billy was togo into eternal reticence. The wail of the tramp and the rattle of the soup bowl of IKII3 will reverberate down through the ages when Ilryan's voice will be for gotten.—Moravian Palls (N. C.) Yel low Jacket. Tv \ Y MACHINES NEW INVENTIONS THAT ARE OF GREAT VALUE IN ROAD BUILDING. Hoail Roller \uw M*de That Can Be Converted Into a Traction Engine. Other Metv Machine! That Save Time und Money. One of tlie most important adjuncts to economical road building is found in the recently invented combination road roller and traction engine, writes Wal don l'awcett in the Buffalo News. It is useless to attempt to make a perma nent good road without the use of a steam roller, and yet a machine avail able for but this one class of work has heretofore involved a very heavy ex penditure. However, the new combi nation outfits which have lately been Introduced cost only about one-half as much as an ordinary road roller, and by reason of the fact that the ma chines may by the mere interchange of MODERN ROAD ROLLER. wheels be converted from road rollers into traction engines it is possible to employ them for all the various tasks of operating a stone crusher, hauling the stone to the road and finally rolling the new made road. One of these road building automo biles will, when in use as a traction en gine, haul a load of at least fifteen tons of stone over an ordinary road. On the other hand, when transformed into a stationary engine for operating a stone crusher, it furnishes sufficient power to crush any ordinary rock for use us the foundation of the highway. In conjunction with this apparatus the up to date road builders are using a lately devised and very ingenious dump cart, witli an attachment for automatically spreading on the road any required thickness of stone. In this time.saving method of road building the stone is dumped from the crusher into the car, hauled to any de sired point on the road by means of the roller traction engine and then spread over the surface undergoing improvement much more evenly and rapidly and also much more cheaply than it could possibly be done by the use of men and teams. The distribut ing apparatus on the dump car can be so adjusted that the sheet of crushed stone, sand or gravel spread upon the road will be of any desired thickness from one to eight inches. Attached to this odd mechanical worker is an en gine tender with a device for use in sprinkling during the rolling process. Other new paraphernalia of great value In twentieth century road build ing operations are the complete porta ble rock crushing outfits, including not only movable rock crushers proper, but portable bins on wheels. Some of these have folding elevators, which raise the crushed stone fifteen feet from the ground, although the apparatus is less than ten feet In height when folded, anil so carefully has the weight been kept down in planning these portable outfits that it is now possible to ob tain a movable plant of this kind that is capable of handling fully twenty tons of stone per hour. Finally in the same category is the portable storage bin on wheels, which, though large enough to hold twelve tons of stone, weighs when empty but 3.500 pounds. On occasion one of these entire outfits, consisting of stone crusher, elevator, screen and bin, has been set up ready for road building Inside of fifteen min utes. There have been introduced during the past few years some very wonder ful road machines which will plow and grade at surprising angles and will work «iviite as well with one wheel high up on the bank and the other down In a rut as the ordinary apparatus would with the wheels on a level. Most re markable of all, however, is the mar velous dirt elevator which plows up the earth and lifts the loosened ma terial into wagons or conveys It to the center of the roadway. The dirt ele vator consists principally of an ad justable frame, with two rollers around which are placed a wide, endless can vas belt. The upper end of the frame may be adjusted to suit the wagons which are to be lU!' .1 or lo deliver the dirt to the best advantage In grading. The reversible steel road machine is another one of the handy utensils at the disposal of the present day road building expert. In the newest ma chines of this very familiar class the great steel blade can be shifted out side the wheels on either side of the machine and yet retain its acute an gles for cutting down banks and wid ening roads. A valuable attachment Is found in a rod which enables the oper ! ator of such a machine to force the blade Into the bank of earth to be moved without stopping the machine, : as was formerly necessary. The axles i of one of these machines may be ex tended on both sides quickly, thus ren dering It possible for the apparatus to take a cut from the side of the road and move it to the center of the high way without the machine being forced to run ov«r aught but a perfectly smooth surface.
