To Encourage Importations.
Tho socretary of tho treasury assures
Comrresi and tho country that "the
proposal reductions in tho ruled oi duty
|a will encourage importations to a very
B considerable extent," which is one of
V tho reasons why lie ur^es tho passage
r of the so-called Wilson hill, a straightout
administration measure.
If tho wage-earners oi this country
and those who aro in any way interestoil
in thoir prosperity can find encouragement
for themselves in thin assurance
they will of course bo consoled by
tho discovery. For example, tho
\VUeelini: potter who reads of increas-1
ing importations of foreign ware to
compete with tho product of his own
skill, who sees tho foreign ware ox posed
for sale in tho stores of Wheeling and
offered at prices which clo^o the Wheeling
potteries, will console himself with
the thought th:u if his revenue lias
been cut off the government's rovonue
has been increased by the changed conditions.
Incroaaed importations in glassware,
iron and steel, in the whole lino of product?,
will make a liko impression here.
Every pioce, every pound, every yard
> of foreign merchandise brought to this
country displaces its equivalent of
American manufacture. But it is said
that wo can produce as cheaply as foreigners
if wo can have free raw materials
aud wages as low as foreign wages.
Hero is more oncouragomont for
Amorican wage-earners aud all who
come in touch with them.
This, howover, is a feature not
touched on by Secretary Carlisle. Evidently
ho does not contemplate any
change in industrial conditions that
will shut out importod goods. Thoso
goods must come in more largely than
ever to supply part of tho increased
revenue hid department needs. Tho
American people should not permit
thomselves to be cast down by the
promise of increased importations.
They aro to bo sold at loss price thau
tlio liko article of home production.
The "Wheeling potter will be able to
pet hia croulcory ware much lower now.
If ho finds himsolf without money to
buy crockery ware, Hour, fuel, raiment,
to pay hia rent anil provide a decent
burial, let him go to iiis last account
eootlied by the comforting thought that
tho sacrifice ho has made has enabled
iais country to increase its revenues by
stimulating the importation of foreign
products. Won't this satisfy any reasonable
man?
Pittsbukgh's relief otfort is boforo
all things else on tho line oi work for
tho needy unemployed. To this end
the citizens'committee is devoting tho
money placed in its hands by tho
people. ^
A "Discretionary Pool."
If you wish to make money got into
communication at once with a concern
that is running a "discretionary pool"
in Philadelphia. You hand your money
over to this concern, it speculates for
you in tho Chicago grain market, and
promises to pay you from -'5 per cent to
60 per cent on your investment. And
it is paying those returns, too.
In many eases the investors are so
much ploased that they permit tho concern
to retain the profits that they may
bo "compounded" with the original investment.
In these days the ablest
financial genius outside of these grain
peculators does notjknow how to make
any such profits as tho grain market
conjurers can mako ior him. Business
with tho concern shows no sign of tho
deproision of the times. Tho inonoy is
pouring in.
It has not occurred to tho investors
that the so-culled profits they aro receiving
are coming out of now victims,
or thai tho profits which are being
"compounded" with tho original investment
will remain to keep company
with all tho money they have put in.
Tho fact ia that It does not always occdr
to people to iro a liitlo common sense
in matters of this kind.
The thing is so clearly absurd that it.
is not necessary to call it names. "The
m':.. .
fools uro not nil dead yet." This i? tho I
capital on which tho grain speculators I
are banking. I

Crowding Mr. Wilson.
Ibo RfgUttr is authority for tho state- I
ment that CoogresstDan Wilson r??ar(is I
tiio "distribution of offices among his
constituents as of loss consequence than"
his tariil work. Tho same authority
tiuya that some of Mr. Wilson's constituents
"do not take tho same view of it."
This is more than passing strange.
When Mr. Wilson was nominated was
it not known that his heart yearned for
tariff revision on tho free trade lino?
Was there a voter in tho district who
did not know that it elected ho would j
devote himself to a mighty ettort to increase
importations? How can Mr.
Wilson take time to got offices for his
constituents when it requires his best
efforts to tret the wool and the coal of
his district aud his state on the iree
lis:?
Mr. Wilson's office-seeking constituents
should bo reasonable. Tlioy should
not demand tho impossible. Give tlio
good man a clianco.

Mr. Stovens, with tho facta on his side
and a wonderfully ready Don in his
hand, has dono tho President serious
damage in tho oycs of tho American
people. Of course a jury might find
that 31 r. Stevens did right to toll tiio
truth and to toll it in a way to upset the
administration.
The Republican minority of tho ways
and means committee has not been allowed
to put its impress on tho Wilson

but it is out to-day with a report that
shows that measure up in its truo light.
There will be no hotter "reading for the

to the point. West Virginia is to be hit
