The article that appeared iu yesterny morning's rNTHi.Lloe.NCKK containig a report of an interview with Mr. 1.. . King, a traveling salesman for a New ork hoiiHe which manufactures and Uh glass manufacturer's ehemicals and lincrals, in the course of wliich Mr. ling expressed his determination to ote for Harrison and Protection, had a jore immediate; dccided and encour1,'ing effect than was hoped when it was ritten. Democrats who are blindly iithful to the ciiiiHu of so-called Tariff teforui made life a burden for Mr. King, le hml scarcely eaten Uis breakfast uuil he was called on by individuals who ranted to put against the logic of facts heir favorite argument- betting. Ah he day wore on, these persons anloyed Mr. Kin# more, and went about nnoying other people ylso. Though Mr. Cing was quoted as aaying that he was a oor man, lie was met with propositions o bet $1,000 and all sorts of similar ilutlu. The gentlemen who met him vith tliese "arguments" knew appavnUy nothing about glassware, but all ibout glasses. HIS I'OMTIUN .1.SNAII.KII. Mr. King received callers of another ?>rt. Among these was Mr. 0. W. Uroekuuior, a pmtloman of whom it jceil not he said- lie in incapable of treating a stranger with discourtesy. Mr. Brockunier was interested in the article, uul complimented it. lie gave fair warn ng that he would challenge .Mr. King's acts, and the arguments bused on them n the article. Of course, whatever Mr. Brockunier shall say in response to Mr. King's remarks will be geutlemanly, candid, and will bo entitled to great weight and consideration. What viow he now takes of the tariff on gins* is not known, llis views when he was one of the owners A the South Wheeling glass works, one | r>f the most important concerns in the noun try, are on record; and turning to [hat record, made not in the heat of a campaign, but cooly, dispassionately, uul hacked by an array of facts which ire simply indisputable, the Ixtklligex- | L'Eit thulsits own position ami theory of llii' tarill'Ho ably put forward and maintained, that it is a pleasure to present them here, in advance of the publication of his own views in his chosen vehicle. At the sitting of the United states Tariff Commission at thoMcLure house, in this city, October 12,1882. Mr. Broekunier ably represented the glass manufacturers of the United States. In opening, he said (see page 2133 of the .Report of the Tarifl Commission): MR. IlKoCKlWIKIl's VIKWS. "The glass interest has been divided into three sections, and we will present three statements for your consideration. We propose first to consider glass-ware, cut, engraved, etched, decorated or painted, in any manner; then blown ware, ami fancy glassware, such as craquelle, optical, twisted, ribbed, Venetian, meaning to include all ware upon which a considerable part uf the value is made by skillful hand-work. "The rale of duty is 40 per cent ad valorem. We ask to have it increased to (K) per cent ad valorem. " The rcaaon for imkimj an incmued duty of twenty per cent, it the yreal ilijj'eitnc.c in wayvt paid abroad and lore. "The cost of labor in articles in this schedule is fully !H> per cent of cost of production. From the best information we are able to obtain the wages paid glass cutters and all other workmen engaged in this kind of glass in Kngland ure 60 per cent less than in this country. In Belgium, Germany, Bohemia, ivnws nrn jiliinit. T.r> m<r i>i>nt Ii'ks." WHAT THIS MKANN. In other words, for the sumo work for which Mr. Hroekunier then paid, and those who are still operating glass factories now pay, their workmen $1 in wagl's, the ninnnfaeturcrs in Bohemia, Etc., pay their workmen twenty-live rents. -Mr. lirockunicr said further: "The manufacture of cut glassware in this country has largely decreased since the incidental protection nUbrdcd by the premium on gold ceased, and the importation haw constantly ami largely in-, LTcased. The entire production in this i country does not now equal the capacity I uf a single furnace. As cut and decorated glassware is very costly, it should be classed as a luxury. We therefore think the duty should l>e correspondingly high. i "1 desire to submit a few remarks in j tlmt connection", and will illustrate whatl 1 have to say by exhibiting to you a cutglass bowl and pitcher. [Exhibitingtlie urtieles referred to.] This bowl, entirely plain as it came from the workman's hands, and without the additional labor uf the cutter, would have been worth About $1. We paid the workman $10 for: cutting the diamonds on that bowl. There are some lO.OOOof those diamonds, and in addition we furnished the power, pumice stone and everything of that kind. Hero is a pitcher [exhibiting] worth plain, from 73 rents to $1. We paid S7 for the cutting of that pitcher as you see it; That shows that about IK) per cent of the averago cost of cut glass is in the labor. wages abroad. "Our information as to wages abroad is not us definite in some respects as we would like to have it. Wo have English workmen who inform us in regard to the wages they are paid when working in England, and we occasionally uieet a manufacturer from ahroud, or occasionully some of us go over there. We have i\1ho otttcial information contained in this book ("Labor in Europe, 1887,") issued by the [United .States Government, which hears out the statements made. [There is an infinite variety of this gloss ware which wo consider a luxury, and it should pay a corresponding uuty. Hie manufacture of ornamental glassware. as it is termed, is just commenced In this country, although cut glassware was very largely made before ami during the war. The French, English ami Belgian goods are now coming iuto this jountry." Later in his talk, lie said: ** "? would to show the commission a prism which comes from Bohemia and costs about :ij cents. In his country we could not bore the little lole that is uiudc to attach these nieces ogether for the price it is sold for here." By Commissioner Kurner:. (J.?"To what do you attribute that owness in the price?' A.?"This work s done in the mountains Af Bohemia by :hild labor mostly, and of course it can be iroduccd very cheaply. By Commissioner Ambler: Q.?"What will it cost you to make uch an article here?" A.?"Roughly stimated, it would cost uh 12 or l."i cents i piece. But it has never been attempted n this country; tho prices are so low." ma nukactu he 11* mvhtif1ki). "The ulass manufacturers often have loubts,' ?aid 31 r. Brockunier, "whether he goods brought into the country are irought iu at their actual value, and rhetner the foreign manufacturers are ot putting into this country some of lieir surplus product at a lower price. S'e have no meausof tinding that out, ecause we are not at liberty to inspect lie invoices. Still, when we meet these 1 goods in the market at such extremely c low prices we cannot understand how ? lliey can lie imported and the duty d properly paid." Ii Being asked by Commissioner Roteler: "Have you any general information from the consular reports in regard to Hagrn in foreign countries?" Mr.Brock- n unier replied: "There is some informa- c tion on that subject in those reports, hut / it is not very definite. a "1 have here a tumbler known to the c trade as a whisky tumbler. Six S years ago when the American manufac- 'J turer commenced to make them, they \ were imported by the case of twenty- C live domi at a cost of altout $1 40. \N e n made some, and our first price was ?1 25; I but they are now sold at 10 cents. " IIOW PROTECTION REDUCES TUB PRICE. ^ "I suppose the price now would be c h'unewhere alwiout $1 25 or $1 -10 for j them* goods if we had not commenced t making them in this country. vSoine of the French manufacturers , made a special list of prices to meet American comnctitiou. and sold their ! goods for the American trade at a lower J price than tlicy did goods taken to any ( other country. They were compelled , to do that about two years ago." ( By Commissioner Ambler: Q.?"How do you know that?" s A.?"It was ho stated to me by two j importers?one in Boston and one in ( New York?and it is something they would hardly tell us unless it was a Let." ' J MU. II ItOli K I'M Kit's EXI'KUIKXi'H. > It is a theory of the Protectionist, de- j duced from experience, that Protection 1 cheapens a commodity. The Free ! Traders and Tariff Reformers say a protective taritris a tax which adds the 1 duty to the cost' of the home product. Here is what Mr. Brockunier {learned from experience: He was asked by Commissioner (tarland : "Do you assume that the same result would follow if the duty ho increosee 20 1 per cent on cut ware; that it would tend i to reduce the price to the consumer?" Mr. Brock tinier responded: "That has been the history of all manufactures in this country. From our own experience and that of other manufacturers, 1 think that would be the result." The presentation of their case by Mr. lirockunier and the other gentlemen , hero quoted was so convincing that the tarifl'on cut glass was increased, not to (K) per cent, as requested, but to 45 per cent. Kveu this slight uicreuse, us .Mr. | Krockunier will doubtless admit, has ; Inula beneficent influence on the cut ; glass industry in this country. Whereas in 1882, according to Mr. firockuniujj's testimony, the product of cut glass in i America was inconsiderable, it is to-day a thriving and growing industry, and \ cut glassware may be seen in Wheeling at this moment, made at the Dithridgc glass works and elsewhere, by concerns not in existence in 1882. in spite of this fresh experience, the Mills bill i?i*o- , posed to reduce the tariff again to 40 per cent. lamp shades and chimneys. In concluding his own presentation of his interests, Mr. Brockunierintroduced Mr. James Gillender, of Philadelphia, a well known manufacturer.who addressed himself to the chimney, globe ami shade branch of the business. Mr. Gillender said: "Student and other chimneys, porcelain shades, globes, etc., are admitted under the present tariff as porcelain and Bohemian glass, "and pay a duty of 40 per cent ad valorem. Under this duty it is impossible forour manufacturers to make these goods so as to sell them at as low a price as the imported goods are sold at under the existing tariif. The cost of making is very near all in the labor, and at the present low price of labor in Germany and Belgium, where most of these goods arc iiiude, it is possible for the manufacturers of those countries to pay inland carriage, ocean freight, and cost of carriage, and sell them, including duty, at a price equal to the cost of labor alone .in this country I.A110It IIKICK BQUAl-S TUB WIIOLK J'llICK TIIBRB AND TUB ADDBI) DUTY. "The actual price paid for blowing chimneys is lifteen cents per dozen.'to which add tlie cost of the other labor employed in the production brings the actual amount paid for labor tsrentv cents per dozen, or the nrice at which they are actually delivered in this country" for, so that if the materials, fuel and interest on plant were all thrown in there would be no profit to the manufacturer in this country. These ehiin I1UVB ?rr HOIU ill uimnmmij iinnriin cents with no charge (or packages. From the best information we have been able to obtain, the cost of labor on this clasa of goods is not more than 25 per cent of theeost of labor here. We have the same difficulty with porcelain similes. Onosize, imported, known as the 7-inch Vienna shade, has been sold this season at sixty-eight cents per dozen; the labor alone costs more than that amount bore, so that it is impossible to manufacture these goods under existing duties, ami our market is practically abandoned to the foreign manufacturer. m COULD NOT OPERATE UN I) Kit THE TAKIFF T1IB.V. "We ask in lieu of existing duties that you recommend a specific duty on all i;fass lamp chimneys and glass mis chimneys, of 10 cents per dozen. On all plain porcelain glass gas globes and shades; on all plain porcelain glass lamp globes and shades, not exceeding eight inches in diameter, 50 cents per dozen; exceeding eight inches and less than twelve inches, 75 cents per dozen; twelve inchesandjiiotlexceediimfourteen inches, $1 25 per dozen; on all porcelain glass smoke bells, glass porcelain and Uohemian glassware, decorated or plain, 00 per cent. . ^iMost of the chimneys used in this 1 country for coal oil Inmns are manufactured here; but 1 have here a chimnev [exhibiting] which I would like to call your especial attention to. We have not been able to compete with it at all, from the fact that thev are made so mni'li eliiMinor nrrnsM the water than , they ran bo made here. The whole trouble arises from the price of labor. Fully 75 per cent of the cost in this country is in the lul>or; and when you put the cost of labor across the water at one- j quarter of the price here, it makes it impossible, in view of the present tariff, J for us to compete. The same result J holds good in relation to porcelain , I shades. It is practically impossible for : us to manufacture them under the ex- , I isting tariff." , LAMP CHIMNEYS MADE BY CHILDREN*. In elucidating a point, Air. Gillender j said (page 21117): . "There are more lamps used in this J country than anywhere else. These , goods [chimneys] are sold at wholesale j at 20 cents a dozen, and you can buy ? them in small quantities, a few package's j at a time, at 22 cents a dozen, and that | includes the outside package, which would cost us in this country at least a dollar. These lamp chimneys are made by boys and girls who work in the jiluss factories, a thine which is unheard of in this country. Of course it requires a man to do tlie blowing, but the girls and boys do tho helning part." t Boys are employed in light work about ( the glass houses here, but nowhere in America do they make ware. ? in iro.* in? amy on me kiim 01 giass> j war? Mr. Oillender spoke of was flxed at ,, 1 cent a pound, ami it has been credibly t stated within a month that imported v lamp chimneys are driving additional | American concerns out of that line of J business yearly. ,, MU. IIKOCK t'NIKIl AGAIN. But to return to the statement of Mr. C. W. Brockuuier. He is quoted (nage 2138 and 2139) or Raying: The propoition of labor $ in the cost of glassware is 05 |?er cent. If the cost of labor in mining coal, fire clay and sand is added, it will make the proportion of labor 75 to 80 per cent, h We consider the wages paid our employes no more tbun is their due with present cost of living, and such as j' enables them to live comfortably, edu- u nte their children properly, and save omethiog to live on when old age has itntned their eyes and their skilled Hindu have lost thcifteunning." 1 Jv Commissioner Porter: Q.?From your statement of prices, I liould think that glassware is fully as heap in this countrv as it is in England. I.?Yes, sir; take, torinstaireet goblets, t 42 cents per do/.en, and even a fair irdinary goblet at 28 cents a dozen, iome of these articles are imported. Dho Rochester Tumbier Company extorts very largely, and the Central Glass /Otupany exports considerably to Gernany, and other factories represented tere export to England, Germany and <outh America, some of the pressed ;lass ware. The exnorts of glassware by the Rohester Tumbler Company are said to lave ceased. The exports to Germany by he Central glass works, of this city, lave certainly ceased since Mr. IIrockulier spoke, and ceased because of the >roteetive taritr in Germany. Under he stimulus of that tariff, American Machinery was introduced into Ger uany, ami the protected manufacturers, vitli men taught by Americans, are tolay making the glass which they once mported from America. That is an initance of the workings of Protection, {educe the tariff materially and those German glasses will flood tliis country. When the points so clearly made by Mr. King were written, it was not at the moment recalled that as early as 1882 the lame arguments had been made so exhaustively, so clearly and so conclusivev by Mr. iirockunier. Mr. King will loubtleas be agreeably surprised to find liis position so ably supported by such iiigU authority. ADJMmVltEFOlUl In tlie Loon I I'oHlal Service?Clevelnml'l Prophecy* When the President, in his letter ol acceptance in 1881, wrote: "When wt consider the patronage of this great office, the allurements of power, the temp tation to retain public place once gained and more than all, the availability i party finds in an incumbent whom ii hurtle of ojjicehehlers, with a zeal born o\ benefit* received ami /ottered by the hope oj favors yet to come, stand ready to aid with money and trained political service, we recognize in the eligibility of the President for re-election a most serious danirer to that calm, deli berate and intelli* gent action which must, characterize governinent for the people*"?when Pres ident Cleveland penned these words, lu had no reference to his own administration, his $10,000 check, or the conduct ol the Wheeling postolliee in the year oi grace 1888; aud yet rend in the light ol recent events his utterance seems u prg phecy. The mail service at the Wheeling Postoffice seems, however, to have been greatly improved by the publications in the Ixtklmc.encek concerning its bad features. Tupleasant reading as these articles seemed to be to Postmastei Simpson, he is to be credited with the good sense to profit by them, and it litis been publicly stated, and nc denial has been made, though opportunities have passed, that Mr. Simpson "read the riot act" to his employes, and talked very straight to them eonceriiinj their duties. This talk had a good effect. In several cases it was followed by the delivery of mail of a seemingly political character, which had been allowed to accumulate since September 1. II is a pity Mr. Simpson did not do this earlier. Nobody hasaccused him of any intrunnnl ( mimviinen lit the state of at' fairs. The facta, as obtained from high authority, were printed. Other fncti that came to light nave been suppressed from time to time out of friendly feeling Mr. Simpson told an Intelligence* reporter that the statement of Mr. Cow den, Mr. llouser and Mr. Ncsbitt wore lies. This raises a question of verncit} between him and those three gentle men. lie said also that Mr. Cowden called for his mail "out of bushiest hours." This (Vjsproves his own asser tion that Mr. Cowden did not call foi his mail at all. It may be, and doubtless is, true thai the railway mail service and the pusta service of the country iif general, it worse than that at the Wheeling office This is coM comfort for those Wheclinf people whose mail, placed in the office at Wheeling, has been delayed or lost So far as known, the local service hat been a model for two days past. LESS TllANTBTpOLliAItS lViiiit?*<! to imtktt the Camion Fund Com Tliu to (lie Front. It was|stated in yesterday's issue thatthc Intelligencer's campaign cannon fund had reached tho sum of $220, and that only $30 more was needed to eomplete \\ and make it possible to pay in full for the handsome gun and limber which have been ordered, and will be hero in a few days. It was also announced that five persons had agreed to give one dollai each, provided twenty-live others would come to the front ancf give a like amount aud thereby finish up the fund. In response to this, over one-half of the $25 was subscribed yesterday, most of il coming from that patriotic establishment, the LaBelle mill. Less than $1C is now all that is required, and it ifc hoped that this will be handed in to-day, so that in to-morrow's issue theannouncemeut may be made that the fund is completed. This is probably the Inst chance that will be oU'ered to help pay for a gun tlmt will become historic as it liellowe forth in yfcurs to coine the glad tidings r?f successive Kenublican victories. In case thereshould be handed in more than enough to complete the fund the surplus will be used to feed "YoungTip" so that he can bark loud and often after Novem^er lUvor Nimvm.

This is the final flunk. All the joint debates which the Register nagged the Republican orators on to offer the Democratic orators, are olT by the acts of the Democratic committees. Fleming, 1 Walker, Wilson, Pendleton, all turn and j flee, firing back over their shoulders the , defiant assurance that they will see their . opponents later. This all reminds one of the man who is afraid to fight and who begs somebody to hold him lest his I ungovernable fury leads him to do some1 body an injury.

[ I find also in this day's lteqiitcir an ; editorial over the signature of "WageWorker," which abuses General GofT as "a man who never put money in any enterprise that furnished employment to the wage-worker," etc. Will the eu" lightened and brainy manager of the 1 Regwter tell the wage-workers of Whcelt ing what John 0. Pendleton ever did for them, except to cheat them out of a rep' resentative in the last Legislature of West Virginia? ^ Mr. Joe Woods is as rich a man as I General GofT. The Democracy have fre: quently honored him. What enterprise J did lie ever invest a dollar in for the employment of labor or the advancement of the city? When the question of the county subscribing a certain suui of money to help build the railroad bridge over the Ohio river at the upper part of the city was , up for consideration, where did Messrs. Caldwell, Woods and Pendleton stand? It is said that John O. mav have done < nothing to defeat the bridge, but how u about Caldwell and Woods?

AN UNJUST ATTACK ' On Mr. I'ullack, which a Cljjar Maker HaH?utM?A Gout] Letter. 1 To the Editor of the. IiitcHiuaictr: Snt:?I think "Kaintuck Scrap," in l this morning's Register, needs a binder i on, so that he will not crumble in the i wrapping process. "Scrap" wants to ' know if this is the same Augustus Pol, lack that employed eouvict Inborsome i years ago, that is now posing as a worki ingmairs friend, and if wonders will | i ever cease. I take the liberty to say yes, i he is the same, and as a cigar maker I think it offensive to have the work done i by convicts. But bear in mind that the . State then, as now, was Under Democratic laws and Democratic control, and every man in West Virginia had the same right to hire convicts as Mr. Pollack. Consequently, Mr. |Pollaclc was 1 guilty of nothing more than doing business in a lawful and legitimate way; not that he is in favor of cheap labor. Such is not the case. He believes in making laws that will be a benefit to the workingman as well as himself?that is, a , Protective Tariff. In conclusion, allow me to add, he iB the same Augustus Pollack that declined one or two propositions to reduce cigar makers' wages with the remark that wages were low enough as they were. This is the same Pollack that lures none but union workmen and pays K. of L. wages. J)on't say, now, one of his hands wrote this. They did not. The writer was discharged at Pollack's some time ajjjo, but he believes in justieo where justice is due. Seed Clipping. Wheeling, Sept. 27. Syrup of Fig* is nature's own true laxative.
