WHAT PROTECTION DOES.
The Republican national committee
sent out blanks to members of the Na
tional Association of Manufacturers,
asking them to furnish the number of
men whom they had employed In each
year from 1S90 to 1S99 Inclusive, as well
as the total amount 'of wages which
they had paid during the same years.
There were 200 replies. They showed
a steady Increase In the number of
hands employed in the 200 factorUs
until the year 1S93. There was an Im
mediate drop of 10.000 men In ISM.
wh?n they employed 90,48$ men. But
In 1897 they employed 109,600; in 1S9S,
131,428 men. and last year 174,843 men.
In short, the number of wage-earners
employed by these same 200 factor-
les increased from 90.4S3 men In 1S94
up to 174.(45 last year almost doubled.
But the contrast Is even more strik
ing when applied to the amount of
wages paid, and the following table
shows the returns received from the 200
manufacturers:
Tear. Wages Paid.
1890 $45,149,081
1891 49.875,858
1892 53.619,418
1893 48,966,250
1895 52,831.317
1896 53.209.430
1897 54,412.774
1898 6247.941
1899 78,835,069
The amount of wages paid by thsse
same 200 manufacturers Increased
steadily from 1S90 to 1892, then there
, , . , I
a drop in 1893 and another drop !
was
r .
In 1894. Dnrinir th nert turn vtin
, ,
wages picked up. but It was not until :
1897 that these same manufacturer!
were paying out as much money Jn
wages as they had paid In 1S92.
Between 1894 and 1899, the 200 manu
facturers had Increased their pay rolls
by upwards of 138,000,000. In fact, the
amount of wages doubled what ihey
paid out In 1894. Apply this to the
w hole country and try to realUe what
benefit "opening the mills" has b-!en
to American wage-earners and to those
who feed and clothe them.
A REPORT OX RAILWAYS.
San Francisco Call.
A summary of the railway statistics
which Is to appear in the twelfth sta
tistical report of the Interestate Com
merce Commission has Just been given
out to the press. It covers the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1893. It appears
that on that date the total single
track railway mileage In the United
States was 189,294.66 miles, au Increase
during tho year of 2,898.34 miles bei.g
shown. This Increase Is greater than
for any other year since 1893. The
states and territork-s which show an
Increase In mileage in excess of 100
imles are Alabama, Arkansas. Georgia,
Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Penn
sylvania, Texas, Arizona, New Mexi
co and Oklahoma.
An evidence of the Increasing pros
perity of the railways of 'the country
Is afforded by the fact that
the number In the hands of
receivers at the close of the fiscal
year was 71, there being a nel decrease
of 23 as compared with the corres
ponding date of the previous year. The
number of railways placed In charge of
receivers during the year was 16 and
i:,- rMiiiMf rnnjvej from their man
agement was 39. The operated mileage
of the roads under receivers on June
30. 1$?!, was 9.S33.13 miles, of which
7,:;5.W milrs were owned by them. Of
the. roads In the hand of receiver on
the date named 10 had an operated
mileage In excess of 300 wiles, 1 be
tween 100 and 300 miles, and 40 less than
100 miles.
Other proofs of prosperity are found
In the statistics relating to traffic. The
number of passengers carried during the
year was 523,176,508, showing an In
crease for the year of 22,10,SJ7. Tie
number of passengers carried one mile
that is, passenger mileage during
the year was 14.C?I.327,I3 there being
an Increase In this Item of l,2ll.97.0i
The number of tons of freight carried
during the year was 9i9,7tJ3.-$3, an In
crease of SO.75T.27S being shown. The
number of tons of freight carried one
mile that Is. ton mileage was 12J.6S7.
2:i7.irS. The increase in the number of
tons carried one mile was 9,Jn9.um!MS.
The average revenue per passenger per
mile for the year ending June 30, 1S99,
was 1.925 cents, for the preceding year It
was 1.973 cents. The revenue per ton
iM :iight per mile was .721 rent, while
for lM'S it was .7.i3 cent. An increase In
milage earnings I shown fur both
passenger and freight trains.
!n conclusion the statistician of the
commission repeats nu rrevijus n com
mon iulions to the effect thaC reports
should be stvuid from express com
panies engaged In Interstate traffic
that rrHrts should be secured froi;
corporations and companies owning
rolling stock which is used In Inter
state traffic; and also special reports
from corporations and companies own
ing depot property, stock yards, eieva
tors, and the like; and that reports
should be secured from carriers by
water, so far as their business Is In
terstate traffic.
The recommendations are deserving
of support. Since the commission has
been established congress should giant
It all powers required to make It use
ful In as many ways as possible. There
is certainly no reason why the In
terstate commerce handled by express
companies should not be supervised by
the commission as well as that handled
by railways.

There's a lesson In those lines that
needs no explanation a lesson for ths
parents of those boys who have al
ready marched to the police station
once or twice to be lectured for some
minor offense; a bitter lesson for those
parents who are permitting their chil
dren to play on the streets of the city,
unwatched and forgotten till 9 or 10
o'clock at night. Every night one may
see In this city dozens of these boys.
