TARIFF REFORM AND HOME RAILWAYS. (By S. SKELHORN.) Free Traders say that while it is possible that in certain trades and localities Tariff Reform may do something for somebody, it cannot but do harm to the great railway interest. This view was echoed by the City Editor of the "Sunday Times," who said in a recent article that "so far as home rails arc concerned Tariff Reform will simply wipe out their dividends." What grounds can bo given for such a state- ment? Can it be maintained by any logical reasoning? Is it not clear that the prosperity of the railways depends on the general prosperity of trade, because the more prosperous trade is the more goods there will be to handle and carry, and, of course, the railways as the chief distri- buting agents will be the first to benefit by in- creased receipts. This will mean better dividends for shareholders, more demand for the labour of railway men, and this again will send up wages on the railways. Now, Tariff Reformers contend that their policy will stimulate trade in three ways. More goods will be produced in this coun- try; more goods will be exported from this country; and more goods will be imported into this country. As the home trade is more )ro- fitable than the import trade, any improvement in the former, even without an increase in the volume, would help dividends. Further, if Tar- iff Reform tends to change the character of o. r imports from manufactured articles to raw mater- ials, -.at again will benefit the railways, because being of greater bulk, a pound's worth of aw material pays much more for carriage than a pound's worth of finished goods. RAILWAYS UNDER THE TARIFF. There is not a vestige of evidence to show that Tariff Reform would spell ruin to our railways. In Canada, Belgium, Germany, and the United States-all protected countries—the railways have developed with marvellous success. This' is not due to any particular method of management because, as everyone knows, the United States and Canadian railways (with one exception) aie in the hands of public companies, whereas the Belgian and German railways are State-owned and controlled. Germany alone provides ample proof that the adoption of a tariff is no barrier to railway enterprise. If we compare the net receipts of British and German railways during the past 30 years, i.e., since Germany adopted Protection, we find that while our receipts in- creased by 34 per cent., Germany's receipts in- creased by 115 per cent. Free Traders say that the smallest measure of Tariff Reform in this country will restrict trade and diminish railway receipts; yet here we have Germany showing a larger increase in railway re- ceipts under a high tariff than we can show under "Free Trade." The question then occurs: If the tariff has not interfered with the pros- perity of railways in Canada, Germany, the United States, and other countries, why should it involve the ruin of our railways in Great Britain ?

jjNORTH WALES PROPERTY MARKET. PROPERTY AT PENMAENMAWR. GOOD PRICfiS REALISED. A successful property sale was conducted l y Messrs Win. Dew and Son, Bangor and I hin- dudno, at the Grand Hotel, Penmaenmawr, on Monday. Ther was a large attendance when Mr W. C. P. Dew opened the sale with a few re- marks. In common with other seaside resoits, Penmaenmawr, said Mr Dew, had suffered from the recent depression in trade, but it had been one of the first places to revive, and if not actu- ally booming to-day, it was more than holdup its own. He had great faith in Pcnmaenmav,T, with its abundant advantages, including magni- ficent views, and it would be safe to invest capi- tal in property, especially the class of property he was submitting that day. The first lot offered was the freehold residence known as "Lonfa," in the occupation of Mrs Eliza Catherine Bates, comprising an area of 1785 square yards. The auctioneer dwelt upon the excellence of the views to be obtainedirom the residence, and he added that the purchaser of the field had bought it) with no present inten- tion of building on it, but to lay it out as a pii- vato pleasure ground, so there would be no im- mediate danger of any interference with the view from the residence. The property was withdrawn at £ 775, the last bidder being Mr Foyne, photo- grapher, Penmaenmawr. It is understood that the auctioneers have received several offers for the property. Plas Isaf, a freehold residence with grounds, the area comprisng 1454 square yards, and in the occupation of Miss Constance Dixon, was seld by private treaty, the figure not being divulged at the sale. The two freehold semi-detached residences and gardens known as Boynton Villas, in the several occupations of the Misses Fox and Masser and Mrs Alice Crawford, was sold by private treaty to Mrs Eliza Catherine Bates, the price not being announced by the auctioneer. Tanybryn, two freehold semi-detached work- men's cottages, in the respective occupations of Mr Joseph Jones and Mr Owen Jones, and com- prising an area of 200 square yards, elicited very spirted bidding, which started at E100, and quickly advanced to £290, at which figure the lot was sold to Miss Constance Dixon. Four lots of freehold building sites, forming a field known as Erw, in the occupation of Mr P. McClement, and containing a total Prea tf la. lr. 20p., were sold to Miss Constance Dixon by private treaty. The catalogue stated that not more than one house can be erected on each I jt, and no house is to be of less letting value than £30. The vendor's interest in the unexpired lease granted on the leasehold of the Medical Hall or Conway House, Pant-yr-Afon, Penmaenmawr, was next offered. The bidding started d JS500, and for 2785 the property was sold to the tenant, Mr Wm. Parry Jones, druggist and chemist. The tenure is leasehold for a term of 99 years from 1870, at an apportioned annual ground r-jit of E2 10s. The solicitors for the vendors were Messrs W. R. Evans and Lloyd, Wrexham.

SAD SUICIDE AT TREFRIW YOUNG FARMER "TIRED OF LIFE." During the latter part of last week the disappearance of a well-known loca-l farmer's son created a sensation in the Trefriw dis- trict. It appears that William Griffith Pierce, a young- man 27 years of age, the son of M-r and Mrs Abraham Pierce, Gelli Lydan Farm, had been working in the hay field from five a.m. to six p.m., on Thursday. He was subsequently seen by some of the mem- bers of the family in the farm yard at eight p.m. From that time, however, he was not again seen alive. P.C. B. R. Williams, on being informed of his disappearance on Friday, immediately formed a search party of over 30 men, who on Friday and Saturday carefully searched the adjoining woods, the lead mines, Craf- nant stream .and lake, and also Cowlvd Lake, without discovering any trace of the missing man. On Sunday morning, the constable, accompanied 'by Messrs D. Williams, ju-nr., Cwiiianog; John Jones, Hendre; and D. Row- lands, Lledwigan, visited an old deserted farmhouse, erected 200 years ago, almost on the summit of the mountain, overlooking Tre- friw, and some distance from the deceased's home, and there found the body of the miss- ing man hanging by a rope from the beam. The beam was suspended so that the de- ceased's feet touched the ground. On his person was found a note which was read at the subsequent inquiry. Mr Pentir Williams, the coroner for the district, held an inquiry at the deceased's home, on Monday evening, the Rev. J. Gower being the foreman of tho jury. P.C. Williams gave evidence of identifica- tion, and after describing the search he added that on the deceased's body he found a watch and the following note:- "Good bye all. Remember llir to Jack Pritchard, Pentre; Dick, Talybraich; and Evan, Rhos. I am tired of life. I hope God will have mercy on my poor soul. Dear mother, I have tried to keep face for years. I would not be able to do it only for your admirable patience and kindness.—Will.—A medical exam. will tell the tale." A verdict of suicide while temporary insane was returned, and on the motion of the Rev. J. Gower, seconded by Mr R. E. Thomas, a vote of sympathy was passed with the family.

LADY HERBERT ROBERTS AND THE UTILITY OF FIRE BRIGADES. Opening a bazaar at Menai Bridge yesterday (Wednesday) in aid of the Iocai fire brigade, Lady Herbert Roberts, who appea-red for Sir Herbert Roberts, said that the object for which the bazaar was held must appeal to all of them whatever their opinions might be. It was a cause which made them forget their little diffe- rences, for they must all aditure firemen, and also lifeboat men who bravely faced two terrible elements—fire and water. "I know something about the value of fire brigades, proceeded Lady Roberts. "We have a small one at Abergele, and once when my husband and I were away from home and our house was left without anyone in charge, tho roof caught fire, and had it not been for the timely assistance of the Abergele brigade a serious amount, of damage might have been done, in fact the house might have been entirely destroyed. I am glad to learn that the brigade here is purely voluntary, and it must be a good thing for the community that a number of young men should oome forward to do this ex- cellent work."
