His way of rosssoning on this polut, a8 on some others, scems to me deceitful, 'That ls Lo say, to pick up some fso- Inted facts and to arrive st 8 general conclusion. Everybody who reada the chrunicle of crime n Mexlco atid In the United States—where such s wuurl:?' of life sud vroperty Is enjoved—would be fuciined to conclude by this cotnparison that life ana urnrcrly are extremoly Insecure in this couutry.

In rezard to the obsta. cles coming from our {ustom-[Touses, Mr. Foster clurzes Mexico for enforclng pro- tective tarill. 1 am of opinlon that our tarif? 18 not _more protectiva than the tariff of the United States, and thin fact can be casily explained, becatise we do not need to protect such vast and nportant industry as the Amerl- can industries, Hut, votwithstanding the char- acter of our tarlfl, the best way to Judge nbout the practical offecls Is this: Firat, to consider It under that larlll a largo imported trade fs car- ried on fn Mexico, and nohody will answer that question but in the aflirmative. Dceanse ft in proverbial nnd everbody knowa that Spanish, German, Freneh, and English uierchants have large trade with Mexico under this tanft, ‘The Spanish merchants control the grocery businecas, Germans control the hardwatre business o il its branchies, French mercheuts control the dry- zoods business, aud the English, cliher dircctly or Jadirectly, control tho cotfon-goods market and some Other branches of our forelan trade, Bosides thesa facts, it s to be coneklered that the bulk of the mans of articles which can ba fmported from the United Slates fnto Mexico nr%lnulndml on the frue list ol our trade. his 18 Bpeetas Correspandence of The Tridunts Loxvox, Nov. 9.—The excitement aroused by tbe Afghan difficullies, or tho varied sensations created by the ever-recurring proof of the breakage of the Berlin Treaty, siok into fosig. nificance when contrasted with the panic stirred up among the holders of Loudon gas-shares and the British scleotific men when the Amerfcan vress recently annotinced that Edison had solv- ed the question of the electric light's divisl- bility, Nothing bat promlises arriving, howerer, the excitemment externally began to sabside. Eleo- triclans scouted the jdea: gas companies, scar ed at firat at the proportions of the sword which scemed to haog over thelr heads, gradually for- ®ot their fear, and laughed at the scheme s that of a visionary; and the pubile, after wait- lug eagerly,.but in valn, for.fresh particulars as to the method by which Edisun proposed to reduce their gas-bills three-tourths, were begln. uing to forget all about It, when MR, HICHARD WERDERMANA, the other day, revived the drooping Interest by practicolly demopstrating that hehad found the philusopher's stone; that he had solved the whole question; and that, in the matter of the utllization of electricity for was, he had, In this country at least, anticipated Mr. Edison. Mr. Werdermann is well known Lere and In America in connectlon with clectrical rescarch. He fs a Germnan by birth, and was formerty an officer In the Prussian artillery. For upwardsof twenty-two years he has been working at and perfecting the scheme of electrie lighting, confi- Jent duriug all these years that he would ultl- mately succeed 1o superseding gas. And, dur- ing racent years at least, his efforts have been closely watched by capitallsts and others on both sides of the Atlantic. The most prom!- nenent fruit of Lis labor has been TiN JABLOCIKOFF CANDLE, the exhibition of which, it swill be remembered, about a year or eighteen months ago, turned to tho subject the attontion of clectriclans through- out the.world. To the Jablochkoff Company he g0ld ont the patent. The same faventor, some years ago, put a light in Westminster Tower, which at the time rattled the dry bones of Eu- ronean laboratories. Helentifle men will recol- lect the circumstance. After the discovery of Werdermunn's Jablocbkof? candie, the Inventor started in agnin, and succeeded In evolving this new scheme, which, owiug to the tine necessary to secure patents in this country, was only made known the other day to a #mall company, comprising capitallsts, scientific men, some members of the City Government, and s few Journalists. Bince thls exhibition, the works havo been besieged by thousands of foquirers of this and foreign Governments, Presidents and Directors of Gas Companles from all parts of Europe, and speculators, in shoats. What the uature of Mr. Edison's discoverles are, of course no ono kuows; in fact, generaily speaking, scientifie men and the press of Lon- don look urun the accomplishment by him of the divisibility of 1ight as mercly theoretical, Like most of the inveutions made during the past year 1o the development of the weans of spplylug electricity to fliuminating purposes, his, many here think, is more of the character of au improvement rather thau of an entirely new fovention. Electric lightivg has only at- talned to its present development by certaln MAHKED BTAGES OF PROGHESS. Its first stogre, at loast of practical upplication, .may be fdentified with the larzs, cumbrous magneto-electric machines of Holmes, produc. ini o current alternating fo direction and sup- plying a single light,~the sole application of wiich secus to have been conflned tu a few lightiouses. Tho ncxy atage is represcnted, in this country at least, by the dynamo-clectric machine of - Grawnme, ~ which' supplles s largoly-augmented current, continuous in direction, “to & alngle light. Its applica- tion includes, besides lizhthonses, the illuminstion of workshops and other Jarpeareas., ‘Tho third, or present stage, Is the divisibility of the clectric lirht,—the production of a number of lights {rou a single source of eiectricity. The Loutin aud the Rapleff systoms poluted the way to its sccomplishment.” Practically the use of clectricity for the purpoea of fliumination had almost stood atill until the date of the inven. tion of what s known ns the Jablochkoft candle, he conalders it very ouerous to the psrtics who obtalned them.” I am wot very much fuclined to show bis apinlon, when I remember that the representative nb('alnlmz that concea- son mnot only recelved it onee, but applled a third timo to have it ronewed. When thy Com- pany reopresented was not able to comply with the cunditions of that grant, the Mextcan Goy- ernment, considering that {hat man and that Company wera standing fn tho way of the con- rtruction of a rallroad frum the Rio Grande to Mexico, swas obliged to dectare that concesslon forfeited, That Company was the International Itailroad Company of Texas. As soon as that Company fatled to carry out their oroposed pro- Jected raflrond, another party anplted for a con- cesston, and o contract was entered futo with Mr. Sullivan, of Mexico, and (ien. Paliner, President of the Denver Rallroad in Texas, Tho contract was entered into by the Government of Mexico, sent to Cangress, carnestly recom- mended, and Is pendiner now, It s not our fault if those purtics who had applied to the Mexlean Government for raliroad concessions JIAD NOT TUE NRCRSSARY MEANY to fulflil their obligations. And not onc of them can say that Mexico has falled to combly with the terins of these contracts, One con- cesaton Lias heen granted for a ratlroad from the Rio Grande to tha City of Moxico, and another hns been granted to canneet Arizona with one of our ports In tho Pacific Ocean, so that no one can aay, with zood reason, that the Govern- mant of deo nnd the peupfo of Mexico haye the reluetance that Mr. Fuster refers to in re- gard to ralirond communieation with the Unfted States, ‘There Is nuch sald by entightened men 1 Mexico who entertaln on “this rub}m the same Ideos which I have professed (n addressing mygelf to the commercfal orzanizations of this country, that the regeneration of Mexico, tho developinent of our principal industrics, the prosperity of Mesico, inthe way of increasing our productions and extension of onr market, depends upon better mining and agricultural na- chinery nnd implements, and that that object cannot be obtafned unless throush tho tnstru- wentality of an nternational rallroad butween the two ltepublics, VERA CRUZ & CITY OF MEXICO RAILROAD. 4 Mr. Foster pointd aut, as oneof the Instances which should juspire Ameriean capitalists with fear, the condlition of the Company which owned tho raiirond from Vera Cruz to the Clty of Mexlco, I presune that Mr. Foster fs acqualnt- ed with the history and character of that enter- prise, It wns the first Important sallroad project executod 1n Moxico, Thosa who con- trived to bulld the rond took fmulensa gdvan- tage of of the Inexperience of Mexico in” thess matters, ko0 that a rallrond which could hava been Lullt for a fuw militons of dotlars hns cost Mexico, In subsidles and franchises to_ that Company, about tienty-scven millions of dol- lars,” Mr. Foster admits that thot subsidy has been regularly pald fn cash by Mexico untll Intely, when a difliculty arose about the Hquida- tlon of accounts between the Goverumcnt and the Railroad Company, It was on that account that the payment of'the regular subsldy was stopped until the diflculty was scttled.
