TRIUMPH OF RAILROAD BUILD*
INC.
Flagier's Ocean-Going Railroad Down
Um Florida Coast to Key West.
The greatest achievement in rail?
road building in this country in re?
cent yeare?and psehaps ths greatest
of all?la the construction of the Flor?
ida Bast Coast roadJt Only a few
days ago a United States Judge In New
York dismissed ths charge of peonage
brought against ths labor agsnt of this
most remarkable railroad. It has
since been shown that the peonage
agitation agalmit the road was started
by some Irresponsible workmen, who
after the manner of hoboes had run
away from their work and sought to
Justify the breaking of their contract.
Whea the road was projected the use
of the Florida convicts was offered
at forty cents a day, but Mr. Flag
ler, the head of the undertaking, de?
cided to use free labor, though more
expensive.
A news story of this great enter?
prise says In part:
Vice President Parrott, who now is
in New York on business connected
with the great extension which is
Jumping over a stretch of thirty miles
of open ocean and over thirty miles
mors of submerged keys and lagoons
to connect Key West by direct line
with Miami, now estimates that this,
ons of the most novel engineering en?
terprises of modern times, will be com?
pleted and trains running for its full
length within a year.
Already the line Is completed and
trains are running for 84 miles
south of Miami, right down to Knight's
Ksy. Work also Is being pushed for?
ward from Key West up and over
forty miles of roadbed has been con?
structed by the gangs that are work?
ing northward to meet the other work?
men who rapidly are moving south.
This means that a total of 124 miles
has been completed out of the 156
miles of road surveyed from Miami
to Key West. The greatest of all the
engineering feats on this wonderful
line, however, ti yet to be completed
This is the eleven-mile gap from
Knight's Key to Bahla Honda where
the line Is being carried over the open
ocean on concrete arches.
The effect of the great extension On
traffic to Havsna, however, already
haa been felt because now the steam?
ers for Havana meet the trains at
Knight's Key and take passengers and
freight from that point to the Cuban
capital Instead of eighty-four miles
north at Miami. When the line Is com?
pleted to Key West huge railroad oar
floate will take entire trains across
ths Florida Straits to Havana, a | dis?
tance of ninety miles, without com?
pelling passengers to leave thslr car
seats or sleeping car berths and with?
out the necessity of breaking bulk on
a single consignment of freight.' This
will mean that the Cuban sugar plant?
er will be enabled to load his product
on a freight ear aide-tracked at his
plantation, have the car hauled by
rail to Havana, floated to Key West
land then rail-hauled right' to New
York or any other point without any
of the, expense, trouble or damage
dangers of a second handling.
Tills great project, which Is being
financed from beginning to end, by
Mr. Flagler personally, generally !?
regarded by engineers as the most ex?
pansiv s stretch of railroad ever built,
the average cost of construction, from
end to end, exceeding $100,000 a mile,
while the additional capital require?
ments for docks, channeling, car floats
and equipment will bring the total
coat approximately to $10.000,000. Al?
ready Mr. Flagler has expended up?
ward of $16,000,000 on the work.?

The new structure Is located near
the Hyatt Park road, within easy I
rea^h of two car lines, the Hyatt Park

TOM WATSON TELLS HOW THE
PEOPLE ARE ROBBED *
By High Protective Tariff?A Clear
Expoae of the Iniquitous System.
The Progressive Farmer, refer?
ring to Mr. Watson's New Or leans ad?
dress, reports him as stating that the
feoreign spinners clear a profit ot
$9,000.000 on the American cottor
they annually purchase from us.
The amount is rather more than
nine million dollars. Brother Poe
To be frank with you, it is n.ne
hundred million dollars.
The 'foreigner bought during the
year named, upwards of nine million
bales of American cotton, paying us
not quite five hundred million dollars
for it. He sold the manufactured
products?cioth and "sich"?lor
fourteen hundred million dollars.
Five hundred, from fourteen hun?
dred leaves nine hundred.
Tidy sum to lose every year?this
$900,000,000!
When is the cotton grower to wake
up and watch the way his Congress?
man votes? x
When is the farmer going to learn
how to compel his representatives to
vote for laws that will benefit the
farmer?
The official record reveals the aw?
ful fact that the steel trust, alone
clears more money, every year, than
the 16,000,000 agriculturists clear in
ten years.
Why because the steel trust getp
congress to pass laws that benefit the
trust. How does congressional legis?
lation enable the steel trust to earn
larger profits in one year than all
the farmers can earn in ten?
By putting the license-fee of the
foreigner who seeks to sell in our
market so high that he cannot af?
ford to pay it. The tariff duty which
the foreigner has to pay at the cus?
tom house, before he can offer his
goods for sale In our country, is the
same as a license fee paid for the
privilege to sell.
Suppose a foreigner has to pay
four dollars tariff duty on a suit of
clothes which sells In Europe for six
dollars. The four dollars must be
added to the six, and we Americans
must pay ten dollars for the suit.
The foreigner cannot afford to sell it
to us f )r less.
That being so. the American
manufacturer can put a ten-dollar
price on his six dollar suit of clothes
also. The foreigner cannot sell for
less thin ten, without losing money,
whereas the American manufacturer
can offer his suit at $9.60, cut the
foreigner out of the trade, and stil'
pocket $6.50 more than the Stilt
clothes is worth.
When the forelgne* can afford to
bring his goods into our mrkt'. t).
Government gets th?_ tariff duties
When the fo. :-ner can afford
to sell in our s t tk t, ths American
manufacturer h a monopoly,
charges extortionate prices, and the
Government gets nothing.
Thus the tariff keeps competition
out, breeds the trust and pillages
the millions who must buy the 3,000
articles whose prices are artificially
jacked up and kept up by congress?
ional legislation.
The prodigal expenditures of Con?
gress?both the old parties being
equally guilty of sinful waste?have
increased the appropriations until
the per capita cost of running the
Federal Government is about $12
per annum. To the average family
that means a yearly Federal tax of
$50.
But you never see any Federal ta\
collector, do you? You see one every
time you buy a plug of tobacco, every
time you settle a store account, every
time you purchase one of the hun?
dreds of articles necessary to home
and farm.
You bewail your fate, and say
that "times are hard and the cost
of living increased."
What have you done to make
times better?
Voted the Republican ticket, and
got half-a-dozen little packeages of
garden seed and a copy of a speech
that your Congressman did not de?
liver?
Or did you vote the Democratic
ticket, and get six small envelopes
containing garden seed and a copy of
a speech your Congressman made on
one side of a question, when the
record shows that he voted on the
other?
Prices high? Oh, no, they're not;
it's the taxes that are high. You
pay the Federal taxes when you pay
t'iose high prices for merchandise.
If you would compel your con
pressman to lower the tariff duties,
the number of foreigners who could
afford to sell their stuff in our mar?
kets would be Increased, the prices of
all kinds of merchandise would be
more reasonable, and the Government
would got a larger proportion of the
price which the tariff compels all to
pay?for the 'oreign goods are the
only ones which enable the Govern?
ment to get anything out of the tar?
iff. The smaller the amount of
foreign goods that can be sold here,
the greater the huge sum total of
what our manufacturers get out of
the tariff.
As long as there are any tariff
duties, the people will have to pay
