But at the present mo ment the clectric railway at «Berlin, | which has proved an unqualfied success is receiving the general attention, not bat also of the practical and common sense business only of the scientific, world, Prof. Siemen's novel experi | ment has aroused the hope that the days of tho locomotive, with its deaf. | its smoke ceable la Iy habit of { exploding are numbered, and that its s taken by the si but none the less powerful electro- motor. Mr, Cyrus W.

Applied to our steam railroad system the new inven- tion will require merely the ordinary track and rolling stock, with the ex- ception of the locombotive, which will be much less expensive than steam and operated at a greatly diminished cost. Horso cars will undoubtedly bo fitted up with electric motor. Professor Sicmen'’s car at Berlin glides to and fro along the strects of that city, carrying twenty persons at any desired speed. Just as soon ag it is discovered that the cost of running a horse car by eloctricity is less than that incwrred by the use of horse flesh the question will forever scttled.

He is a man whom railway kings cannot buy or bull-doze. He has thoroughly mastered tl way laws and made himself familiar with all the intricate machinery of our railway sys- tem. He knows wherein our present v laws aro defective, and his ex- perience will become an invaluablo guide to Congress in the final solu- tion of the railway problem. We have no doubt that Mr. French is regarded with very little favor by the managers of the subsidized railroads who he has been compelled to antagonize in the faithful discharge of his sworn duty. That is the very strongest recommen- dation for his rotention. But we are told that General Rusk has set his heart on the railway audit- orship. He comes backed by the stato of Wisconsin and endorsed by thegov- ernor of Ohio, But why does General Rusk insist upon this particular office’ Ts i account of the salary which is very moderate or is it because the oftice af- fords peculiar opportunities for mak- ing himself useful to the railroads? Why should the president retire a tried and trusty officer .like Mr. French, who has superior quali- fications, for the sake of gratifying the personal ambition of any politic- ian, whether he hails from Wisconsin or Ohio. The fact that the whole country views the consolidation of our railw; on entire railway system under the control of three or four men with alarm and grave concern, should impel the presi- dent to make no change in the hoad of the railway burcau, unless Mr. French has declined to serve.

Among the roads that received the donations were the U, P.and B, & M.

Within less than six years from date, they new French tariff goes into efiec The” statement made some time since, that it proposed a change in the method, rather than in the amount, of duties, is subject to some modification. Correspondents who have given the new tarifl careful study, comparing the two systems of ad valorem and specific duties in their practical operation, pronounce the new tariff an_unqualified retwrn on the part of France to a stringent protec- tive system. It makes little difference to the United States whether the French increase their tariff or not. Our industries are in no way depen- dent on French markets. Our own protective tariff has prevented the im- portation of such goods in the quanti- ties that would otherwise been poured upon us, and our export trade with France is not large. The close culti- vation of the soil of France makes that country comparatively indepen- dent in ~the matter of agri- cultural products, and in many branches of manufacture France can beat the world. The gov- ernment of France is always on the alert to serve the interests of her peo- ple. The corner-stone of its policy is that prosperity begins at home, For- eign trade is only an auxiliary, to be encouraged or disregarded according as suits the condition of the hour. England buys more of France than France buys from England, but in the adjustment of her new schedule of dutics, the fear of cutting off her En- glish market does not seem to have been given much weight. En- glish journals have described the means by which the English govern- ment might retaliate, but these mena- ces have not deterred the French from carrying out their purpose. One of these English Journals reminded Franee that the English were in no sense dependent upon France, as France upon the United States, and could consequently impose duties on French goods without - disturbing the cost of staples in the English markets, The duty on French wines might doubled or quadrupled without serious consequences, as the bulk of so-called French wines come from other Euro- pean countries, and might be shipped direct, instead of through France. 1t is also intimated that in a stress, En- alish Jadics could get along without EFrench silks. There are other mate rials than French silks which make up into handsome dresscs, and no hard ship will fall on the country at large by putting a duty on such manufac tures, which would prove a serious | blow to that important industry. The classes who could afford Tuxuries would continue to gratify their ca prie but all real wants would be supplied _independent of the French trade. These arguments do not seem to have had much effect on the French wind. The pointing out of the fact that England had purch e to the amount of ina vyear, while 90,000,000 was a high average of her exports to France did not deter the proposed ac tion. The policy of England for has been to make mar s a for her manufactured products. ¥y ket She has made war and made peace, with that end in view. She has sought to make England at once the workshop and the trade mart of the world. A large portion of her own scanty territory lies idle in the form of parks and hunting-grounds, while her people eat bread from grain grown three thousand miles away. Except asto iron, her factories work up raw material raised in the four quarters of the globe, This policy worked well fora time. While England had a practical monopoly of the markets of the world, she grew rich on her for- cign trade. But the weak point in her policy is in the fact that at pres ent she to buy her raw material and manufacture in even competition with mills erected alongside the ficlds g y kept in court for & number of years. | ets, scversl miles wide, is traveling from | mules, stolen over & week agy from emi- | where the material grows.
