SAMUELS, Here .iro ci««- Sufferer* From the Protective Tariff Ktem 112 The Republican ticket represents tariff 1 i >'• bery. Johnstown Democrat. Who is being robbed by the tariff? i Vrtainly not the hundreds of thou sands of workmen employed in tile protected industries and their families. . i,,l certainly not the other hundreds o! thousands and their families who ie; end for a livelihood upon enter j) i.-.os that are prosperous only as the p; otected industries are prosperous. S.rely it cannot lie the farmers of the ; reat west who are the unfortunate | victims of the much bruited (by the | Democratic pressi tariff robbery, nor call it tie our fellow citizens of the ! south. When in the history of this na | thin were the working, pe iple of the: country so prosperous as they have In en under this same robber tariff? j When did they live so well an i enjoy ! the pleasures and refinements of life | so much? Where elsi ill the w nld to <h; \ Jo workiugmen earn so much, en jry so gretu privileges and count for si much in the social, political, indus trial and financial life of their country na they do right here in tariff protect ed America? Who, then, is being robbed? The n; nufaeturing east, the agricultural vi stand the newly awakened south, are all prospering famously under the pr >: octet! tariff. The workitigman and the capitalist are alike making money j and enjoying life. Who or what re i mains to be the victim of the so called i robbery? Is the tariff a robber? Should it not be said, rather, that ex cepting the sound money policy it i; the most beneficent principle ever in troduced into American political and economical life?—McKeesport tl'a.i Times. INDUSTRIAL CALAMITY. 1; [i a et In en t of Democratic 'l'll r 111 ideas Would tr elite a I'uulc. A feature of tiie St. Louis platform which is striking and almost sensation ; i aid which has thus far failed to tie' .and the attention which it tie serves is this: "We denounce protec tion as a robbery of the many to en rich the few." The logical corollary of that proposition is that the Demo era lie party stands for si tariff for rev euro oii'ly, that if the Democracy could art >ige a schedule of duties it v.mil.l mako an adjustment that would yield t' ■ biggest revenue and that w • du ig li re the question of protection agains: the cheap labor of 10;; rope and that the party is practically committed to the doctrine of free trade. Suppose that a tariff squaring to the Democratic theory thai protection is t ibhery were adopted. What intelli g it person can fail to foresee the tre na a,ions shock Hist sttedi a piece of leg; latiou would give to American in dustry? The resulting unsettle! .cut would create ail immediate eonwueicial crisis. No greater industrial calamity could fall on the United hdates ihan the enactnient of a tariff adjusted to t !}*■ St. Louis platform contention that protection is a robbery. Hartford i'ost. THE PRICE OF SUGAR. lacrenHFil Slues In r 112 112 1 on I'nlmti t'r»daet W,in Hctliieed. All grades of re rierl sugar have nd vanced 5 cents a hundred pounds. -New York Evenhig Post And a comparison with a year ago shows that prices are up 15 cents a hundred pounds over last August. Now the Kvening Post proves in every edition that not the Sully corner, but the Dlngley law, rahe.; the price of cotton last winter to a point wliero it closed the mills, and thr.t not the pack ers' strike, but the Dingiev hiw, lias increased the price of meat. Ofcour.-e al>;> the reduction of tlie tariff duties on sugar from Cuba was all going into the pockets of the consumers. They were not to pay as much as they had been paying for sugar. They were to pay less. But after the duties on Cu ban sugar were reduced the consumers ] actually pay more. There Is nothing j to equal the hard luck of a profession- 1 al free trade organ.

SOME VALUABLE POINTS BY CANA DA'S DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS. Tiw liii|>iirl«nci> <i( Good UrninaKC i:i liood Water and i'tOHl Dfulri.)' -.1 . and Make llu-iu iiii|>UN»aiiß-. At ttio late .national anil interna Uon al good roads'eonver,,, ai olio of the most valuable oft! , i lany'practical addresses was that >•, A. \V. Campbell, director of public work < of Canada. Mr. ('ampbeli is one of the foremost road builders of the day,, and the fact that he has had some twenty years of practical experience carries weight with Ids utterances. In discussing the principles of roatlmaking hi' places emphasis above all other things on drainage as of fundamental impor tance. In fact, he makes drainage cov er all three principles of roadmaking. I'nless the foundation is properly drained the road is useless. Dirt roads, he believes, can be made good by having a proper knowledge of the way to construct and maintain them. Mr. Campbell said in part: "The science of romlinaking is the subject allotted to me. To discuss this question and go into the details of road construction and the scientific treatment of these roads would take tip the rest of the time of this con vention for the balance of the week. But 1 am not going into this subject in detail. lam simply going to sum it up in a very few words and ask you to make your deductions from that state ment. I think it was at Buffalo that a gentleman asked me the question, 'What are the principles of roadmak ingV 1 said tin- principles of road tnaking in its simplest form—yes, in its most complex form—are very brietly stated. It matters not whether the street lies out in a remote part of your state or if the other end of it tests in the central part of one of the greatest cities on the continent. These prin ciples .must he i.;<• -1 . ."i utilised in the construct ion oi that road or street if you are c.ohig to maki* a <ac cess of it. They are three in number-- first, drainage; second, drainage; third, drainage. "Drain the foundations. It is as use less and as futile for you to attempt to build a good road without provid ing a means of draining the founda tion as it is to erect such a building as this on a weak foundation. You must drain the foundation. Then shape your road so a.- to shed the water from the surface. Make your ditches along the sides so as to discharge that way through outlets into the common course, and' after you have done this von must so preserve and maintain that surface as to shed the water at •ill seasons of the year from the • enter into the ditches and see to it that these ditches are kept free and open so as fflte 7 /r " ■ fj 4 - , * ' V - ">> *»V r; »v . < • * i % ;V * iT iLj.-.S * ; ; v- :•; - NO OKAI.SAOB. to discharge that water in the quickest possible time and in the smallest quan tities. and when you hr.ve done this you have then put into practice all the science there is in connection with road building. "it is the earth foundation that ent ries the road and not the stone; not the gravel, not the vitrified brick. The gravel, stone, bricks, etc.. are simply put there to m-Ut the wtOT of tlit" l rat lie and to shed the water from the surface. l'ut any of these materials on an undrained foundation and your road fails, 1 don't care if you spend .$10,(too a mile on it. The frost will act upon that foundation, and the whole surface it; raised imperceptibly. When tint! frost gees out. especially in north ern districts, the whole foundation is left honeycombed, the surface is sim ply a crust, and when heavy traffic comes on tlie surface is broken, the road is cracked, it holds water, and these ruts are churned deeper by every passing to: in until tin- rood becomes almost impassable. "Keep the surface smooth. If you do that and shed the water you have ac complished a 1 >t.

The farmers can and win keep tip them v ity of the earth roads, but it is bey.aid the capability of the fanners to. keep up the more important and expensive roads, and it i- unfair and uujust ""k them to do It."
