There wa$ a Strong ruSh of Republi
can politicians to Mr. Stephen B. El
kinS’ apartments at the Me Lure HouSe
yesterday.
Apropos of hi» numerous political
callers yesterday, Mr. Elkins we be
lieve it was who said that “it was sim
ply a question of finance to carry West
Virginia.”
It would ba interesting to know how
much of the protected monopolies’
boodle, which he is supposed to be using
solely to defeat William L. Wilson,
Mr. Elkins drepped in this connty
and Senatorial district in hl9 own U.
S. Senatorial behalf. If the size of
the lump is guaged by the size of the
smiles of the numerous political callers
as they tip toed one at a time to and
from bl9 room at the McLure yesterday
it a m have been pretty sizeable.
Hon. John T. McGkaw, chairman of
the Democratic Congressional Commit
tee of the Second District, deserves the
highest commendation for the brisk
aud sp'endid manner in which he has
up to date conducted the campaign for
Hon. William L. Wilson. The people
of West Virginia, whose eyes are npoa
the Second, as well as their
own several districts, can safely rely
upon it that Mr. Wilson, the State’s
pride, is in the best possible hands. Mr.
McGkaw-is atypical young West Vir
ginia Democrat, uri>H»a»> — ■»
active, whose political genius can be
depended upon to leaye no honorable
means untried to win success for the
man whom the trusts are striving to
beat.
MR. ELKINS AND HIS DISTRIBUTION
OK BOODLK
The Republican brethren of the Sec
ond District are not dwelling together
in harmony- Muttering* against Elkin#
are loud aud deep and dissatisfaction is
rampant.
It appears that the money Mr.
Ei.kins collected from the trusts and
those manufacturers who want to be
highly protected again, which he was
to use for the purpose of defeating
Mr. Wilson, he is putting
Into the closo Senatorial dis
tricts In other parts ol the State in- j
stead, In order to catch the hold-over j
Senators in the future for bis own
little U. S. Senatorial game.
The money the trusting tariff boodlers
eave Mr. Elkins with which to buy
Mr. Wilson’s defeat he is using to
further Lie own political interests.
And the Republicans of the Second who
are onto the game are very, very mad
About it.
A WOKO TO MH. WHITAKKR.
He [Mr. Wilson] had gone over to see
his English allies end receive their fawn
ing compliments for the dirty wora he had
done. Mr. Whitaker's sarcastic references
to Mr. Wilson's speech were much enjoyed
by toe large audience.—lnttlii{/eHC€r s re
port of IVhUiiker'm uptech.
“Dlrtv work,” indeed! Since when
did the Hon. Mr. Whitaker develop
such a refined sense of courtesy as to
allude to the great tax reform, which
Hon. William L. Wilson has striven
for In the interests of the American
people, as "dirty work”? Bv what
standard, in Heaven's name, does Mr.
Whitaker measure men that permits
him to regard air. Wilson, whom every
honest American is proud of and regards
as oa* of America's foremost and repre
sentative citizens, as caprble of "dirty
work?”
In what school did Mr. Whitaker
receive the polished social education
that permits him to mention a gentle*
iran of honor and refinement, a states
man of undoubted integrity and purity
of character, and "dirty work” in the
same breath?
"Dirty work,” indeed. If Mr. Wil
son, the honored servant of the people,
has been guilty of "dirty work,” what
are we to say of Mr. Whitaker, who
voted directly against the ialere.'tsof bis
owu people and to serve a private corpor
ation in Wheeling, in voting against the
Wheeling Eiectri- LighWbill, which the
people of this city, his owu neighbors,
sent a delegation to the Legislature to
plead for; what are we ta say of him.
also, who voted against the bill to pre
vent the incorporation of trusts in this
Sfete?
With such a record Is not Mr. Whita
kkr a hue man to. stand up before a
Wheeling audience and criticise a m&n
like Hon. William l*. Wilson, whom
men of all parties delight to honor
FACTS ABOUT WAUE* FOB ELKINS.
In thirty years under Republican rule
wages bad increased from 61) to 500 per
cent lirt^fferent industries.—Elkina.
The Registek has explained bow
Elkins does this trick. It is the same
flim-flam game practiced by the Intelli•
gcnccr until exposed in these columns.
Elkins is entirely dishonest in figuring
out his 500 pet cent, increaso of wages,
and there isn’t a man, excepf aoaoug
the workingmen,themselves, who knows
this better than Elkins. Because five
times as much mooey is paid out In
wages to ten or twenty times as many
men as thirty years ago, he calls that
an “Increase of wages of 500 pe r cent.,” I
when It is a decrease of wages per man, I
a decrease of the rate of wages of 50 or j
75 per cent., according to how many \
men the sum of wages had to be divided j
among. •
We need not tell labor that the rate
of wages, and that alone, is the guage
of labor’s prosperity or depression. A
thousand men at 50 cents a day will
earn 100 per cent, more In the aggre
gate than 125 men at S2 a day, but the
125 $2 men were just 4U0 per cent, better
off for they made just four times
as high wages. Elkins, however, fig
ures it out that the thousand 50 cent
men have received a 100 per cent, in
crease of wages over the 125 82 men,
because’ their total earnings foot up
twice as much, though their individual
earnings are but one-fourth as large. It
is the most brazen dishonesty for Elk
in6 to make use of this trick to make it
appear that wages have increased under
thirty years of Rspubliran tariff rob
bery when he had at his band the fig
ures showing that the rate of wages has
steadily and enormously decreased in
that time.
Take the iron and steel industry of
Wheeling for example; In the past de
cade the rate of wages has decreased all
the way from 30 to 85 per cent. Pud
dlers who used to get $5.50 a ton now
get $3.80 and lesf! Nailers who used to
make anywhere from SS to $20 a day
now are s^isfied with 53. Nail-feeders
who used to get from $15 to $30 a week
now get mostly boys’ wages. Heaters
and rollers and, in fact, every branch
of labor in the iron and steel industry
has suffered a steady decrease of the
rate of wages iu like proportloa In the
past decade. Aud do branch of
manufacturing has had higher or
better “protection” than the iron and
steel business. Likewise, the wages of
glasaworkers have steadily declined
under high protection, though the de
cline has not been so great a9 In the iron
trade, because the glassworkors have
had good organization and have been
lucky in compromising their strikes.
So It is throughout every branch of
“protected” Industry; the rate of wages
has steadily and remorselessly declined
under the high tariff, and especially
under the McKinley law, the hignest
protective tariff in the Vorld.
me lew .mj *».« instances of in
creases in the rate of wages are a; i
found in the non-“protected” trades,
such as carpentering, bricklaying, etc.
That is a point Republican orators never
touch upon, because they cau’t explain
it, and it kuocks the props away from
their whole argument, l»ut they never
touch upeo the rate of wage? in any in*
dustry, particularly in those branches
where labor is “protected”—Heaven
save the mark!—because in all these
industries It has been steadily down
hill with labor’s wages.
When Elkins kuows this perfectly
well, what is'It but simple dishonesty
for him to attempt to show the contrary
bv the ilirasy trick of juggling with
wages in the aggregate?
Which Mr. Elkins says the Register
has personally abused him he utters
what is unqualifiedly false. The Reg
ister Las never printed a word con
eeruHjg Mr. Elkins that is not true.
The Register has, in (act, been extra
ordinarily lenient with hiua, and Mr.
Elkins knows it.
LO, TUK t*OOit *• INTtsLLIOENCRR."
The other day the Register remark
ed :
The Intelligencer making believe to cor
rect William L. Wilson on statistical mat
ters ie a eight lor the gods.
This was apropos of the Intelligencer's
foolish twaddle denying that Mr. Wil
son knew what he was talkiug about
when he stated that the McKinley tax
on Argentina wool had largely forced
the people of that couutry out of the
wool industry and made Argentina a
terrible competitor of the United States
in the production of wheat—that coun
try’s heavy exportation being a very Im
portant factor in the present low price
of wheat as everyone, who has kept
track of the world’s wheat movements,
knows.
At the time of our neighbor’s break
the Register’s only commeut was the
paragraph quoted above, the Intelligen
cer attempting to correct Mr. Wilson on
The Past
Guarantees
The Future
The fact that Hoods Sarsapa*
rilla has cured thousands of
others is certainly sufficient
reason for belief that it will
cure you. It makes pure,
rich, healthy blood, tones and
strengthens the nerves' and
builds up the whole system*
Remember
Hood’s
---v
such a matter being so ridiculous a sight
in Itself as to seem to call for no other
reference. But It appears the para
graph alludea to has made the Intelli
gencer mad, and we know that “those
whom the gods would destroy they first
make mad.” So, instead of being warn
ed in time against monkeying with the
buzz saw the thoughtless Intelligencer
ambles to Its death as follows: '
Why haven’t you the honesty to quote
the IntdU'j'ncer'* criticism of Mr. Wilson’s
statistics in order that your readers may
investigate tfhd see which is right.
Bless you, dear, as we hare already
said, we did not think it worth while,
but siuce you will have it, here goes.
The Intelligencer says:
Mr. Wilson stated in his speech at
Charles Town that the American “tax’’ on
wools forced the people of Argentina to
give up their sheep raising and go into
competition with us in the production of
wheat. The Intelligencer called attention to
the falsity of this assertion by quoting the
wool statistics of Argentina, which may be
found in tbe government report* issued by
our present Democratic administration,
and which shows that the wool production
of Argentina increased from 24t,00l>.090
pounds in 1882 to 304,003,003 pounds in 1891,
and that it continues to increase. These
same Democratic reports show that Argen
tina is the third wool producer in the
world.
Thus our neighbor. Now, in the first
place how on earth can the Intelligencer
“call attention to the falsity” of a com
parison regarding wool and wheat grow
ing by quoting wool statistics
alone? Could not tbe Intelligencer
find out anything about wheat? If it
could not it should have remained
quiet, in which event it would have es
caped making itself ridiculous. More
over, the Intelligencer's wool statistics
are of themselves almost sufficient to
provo the truth of Mr. Wilson’s state
ment, though they are four years old
and cover 9 years from 1882 to 1891, for
they show that In all that time the wool
production of the great natural wool
growing country of Argentina Increased
but sixty million pounds—a mere trifle
for the length of time
and in reality a retrogression of that
country’9 wool industry, when consid
ered beside the fact that while wool
production increased but 25 per cent, in
9 years, the wheat shipments of the
same country for the first six months
of the present year were greater than
the entire shipments for any preceeding
year and are still heavy, while the esti— j
mates of the area in wheat this year
show an Increase over last year’s acre
age estimated all the way from 490,000
acres to 3.700,000 acre9, or from 10 to
50 per cent, of an increase in one year.
Strike tbe happy medium of a 30 per
cent, increase in the wheat acreage of i
Argentina In one year and compare it
with the fact that in the same time the
wool industry hat either stood still
or retrograded and wa find a condition
of things that proves the entire correct
ness of Mr. Wilson’s statement that
our dog-in-the-manger wool policy not
only brought ruin to woolen manufac
turing, and hence wool growing In the

wheat and made that country a most
formidable competitor of the l nited
States in the wheat market, and wheat
is the American farmer’s ruaiu staple.
The enormous wheat shipments from
Argentina have, as everybody knows,
with the apparent exception of the Intel
ligencer, played a promineut part in low
ering the price of wheat to its present
remarkaoly low level. It la but ono
more instance of the geueral and a'l
around blighting effect of McKinley
ism.
The following Associated Press dis
patch is of interest on this point:
Washington. D. C., October 11. United
States Cousul Baker at Bueaos Ayres has
been trying to collect some reliablo data
touching the wheat crop of the Argentine
Republic, ouo of the great competitors of
the United States in the world’s markets,
but as he reports to the State Department,
in the aosenceof any governmental bureau
of statistics, be has met with great difli
euiiv. The estimates of the area in wheat
this vcar vurv from 7.436.23J acres, which
is an increase of 50 per cent, over last
year's acreage, to 5,453,250 acres, which
is but a 10 per cent, increase. The wheat
looks well. The shipments for the first six
months of this vear were: Wheat. 1,029,
54ft tons, and flour 20,825 tons, greater than
the entire shipments of any preceding year,
and heavs shipments are still being made.
No one cau tell how much wheat remains
in the country.
The Intelligencer had this informa
tion. Why did it not use it, or, at
least, study it? Which might have
saved it from butting its small brains
out against Mr. Wilson.
THK REPUBLICAN Hioa TAX POLICY.
jomt Illustration* a* to »t« Practical
Working* (Jpou Farmer* and Wags
r.aracr*—Voter* ekouMl Kaad and K«
flrct*
One of the stock arguments of the Re
publican party, and, indeed, their main
stav in thoir fight for further recognition
by the people, is their great friendship for
the farmer. For years past, and at no time
more noisily than at present, they hare
been ringing the changes upon what they
have done for tho tillers of the soil, and
have rent the heavens with the vehemence
of their protestations that the welfare^ of
the farmer is their chiefest thought. ^ et,
I in the face of this alleged solicitude, they
have steadfastly pursued a policy of tax
ing bevond reason everything consumed
by the farming class of our population, and
so burdensome and iniquitous was the
practical wonting of the Republican policy,
that the gross property value of the agri
cultural class sank- from more than ono
half the entire wealth of the country in
lyflO to about one-sixteenth in 1894. That
this great comparative failing off iD
the relative value of the property owned
by farmers is directly due to the effects of
the Republican policy of high taxation
^md a restricted market, there cannot be
the sfcaue of a douoL Under the continu
ance of that policy for more than thirty
rears, the farmer has steadily fallen be
hind in the general progress of the country
and the universal increase of wealth, until
to-day the sum total of all that the farm
ers of America own is but an infinitesi
mal fraction of the whole property of the
American people.
No one thing shows the practical side of
this Republican “friendsh p” for the farm
er more clearly and distinctly than the
high duK laid upon agricultural imple
ments machioery by successive R«
rWan><i«M Under this system,
eve our Republican
friend Illustration and its
most McKio
eorpo rations
the farmers
chmery was exported by the same
manufacturers to South America,
to Europe, to Canada, and to
Mexico, and was sold in those foreign
countries at prices fifteen to fifty per
cent, oeiow the figures charged the Ameri
can farrfcer This wesnotonlv a most unjust
discrimination against the American farmer
ia the first place, but it was putting the best
farm implements in the world in the bands
of the foreign grower of cereals, thus ena
bling him to martcet his grain at a less
cost, and to that extent, by competition,
force down the price of American grain
abroad, in other words, these Republi
can frienfis of the farmer roboed the far
mer at both ends of the line, all the while
asserting with hypocritical vehemence that
they were the only real friends of the tiller
of the soil.
Here are some of the prices of agricultu
ral implements, under the Republican pro
tective system, to American and foreign
farmers:
Foreign American
Price. Pii;e.
Ploughs, one style....I y 00 $18 00

Lever cutters. 4 25 8 00
Cultivators . 22 00 So OJ
Sweeps...._........ 60 00 90 00
And yet the Republican farmer has been
voting for “protection” for lo, these many
years.
Conscious of this robbery of the Ameri
t
can farmer, and determined to correct it,
the framers of the Democratio tariff bill,
which lately became a law, placed agri
cultural implements upon the free list,
with the certainty that at the Republican
prices charged for these essentials of the
modern farmer there would be a large 'im
portation of foreign larm machinery.
These old prices will not stand, however.
The American manufacturers will at
once cut their domestic price list to such a
point as to shut out the imported article,
and this revision of the list will mean an
immense saving to the farmers of the
country annually. And yet, with this in
evitable result staring them In the face,
the Republican friends of the farmer are
found going up and down the land de
nouncing the Wilson tariff oill and its dis
tinguished author, and endeavoring to
convince the people that unless there is an
immediate return to the old order of things
there will be no salvation for acy Ameri
can voter.
But the Republicans have not confined
their claims of friendship to the farmers.
They have long professed an equal paternal
interest in the workingman, and particu
larly in the miner. And, strange to say,
the practical working of this deep interest
has been about the same with the miner
that it has with the farmer, in evidence of
which the deliver of black diamonds will
be found to be much worse off to-day. after
a long siege of Republican friendship, than
he was ten, fifteen or twenty years ago.
About everythingtbemiaerusesintheway
of tools—picks, drills, crow-bars, lamps,
wheel-barrows, etc.—was taxed by Re
publican statesmen to the top notch — not.
strange as it may seem, for the benefit of
the miner, upon whom this great Republi
can ‘•friendship” was lavished, but for the
benefit of manufacturers. The new Dem
ocratic tariff law has reduced these taxes,
and the result will oe a substantial saviug
to every miner; yet Republicans at onea
setup a howl at the great ‘‘wrong" which
had been perpetrated upon the American
laborer.
And what hag here been said about the
miner applies with equal force to every
other wage-earner using tools, to say noth
ing of the reduced cost of clothing, ami
many other articles of daily consumption
necessary to the poor man. Under the
operations of the nyw l*r.Uti*lv....tbe'-*-»nU
will bo money saved to tho wage-earner
and farmer, and this undoubted fact should
cause the voters of these classes to lend a
very reluctant ear to tho blandishments of
Republicau orators and the assertions of
the Republican press.
The Republican cry over the removal of
the duty on foreign wool i« another in
stance or a prophacy of evil to come not
well grounded. That it will worn ruin to
the American wool grower, is a fixed cer
tainty in the mind of every Republican
campaigner, and tho columns of the Re
publican press is daily tilled with crouk
ings as to tho result of the free Wool para
graph of the new tariff bill. Yet Republi
cans nave but to turn bacic to their experi
ment in removing the duty from beef hides
to be confronted with an unanswerable ar
gument in favor of free wool.
Twenty years ago, or in 1873. with a
high duty on foreign hides, a very large
proportion of tho shoes worn by Americans
and a very considerable parfcof the harness
used here was imported from abroad, from
sheer necessity. Roth shoes und hai ness
were high, and the quality of tho goods and
the workmanship upon them were al’ke in
ferior. A Repubacau Congress placed hides
UDon the free list, and in a few years what
a change was wrought! The American
shoe and leather industry at oneo too* on
an unprecedented activity, under the re
viving effects of free raw mate
rial, while the importations of foreign
manufactured goods rapidly ana steadily
fell off. In other words, American work
men bepun, iu truth and in fact, to ina-c
the leather goods used by the American
people, and while employment was thus
given to thousands of new workmen in an
expanding industry, the price to the con
sumer steadil7 fell, while the quality of
the goods as steadily improved. As a re
sult, every one in America now wears
American made shoes and uses American
made harness and other leather products,
and the foreign importations of these arii-i
ries are now msignincaut.
These truths as to leather will be speedily
duplicated as to wool aud manufacturers
thereof. As America consumes more
leather than can be takes from the backs
of American cattle, and must draw for the
remainder upon the South American coun
tries and UDon Mexico, so she consumes
more wool than she raises, and must go
into foreign markets for the remainder.
To bur ootuaf these commodities as cheap
ly as possible is the thing to do.
and with cheap foreign woo)
there must follow a revival in the
woolen industry of the country, an in
creased demand for the American product,
which will be mixed with the foreign, and
a lower price for the or anufactured article
to the consumer. The experience witn
free bides will be duplicated as to free
wool, to the corresponding benefit and
profit of all American citizens, and partic
ularly to the advantage of the Amencaa
farmer and the American workman.
