Superintendent Or III" Elua Iron and
Nail Works.

This gentleman is native Of Wales.
He came to this country a generation
ago, and was an employe many years
since in the Benwood mill. under Kelly,
Holloway & Go. He is u practical iron
man, ,aud is well up in all department Is
oi the business. Some years ago he paid
a visit to his native land aud made Il
careful study OF the iron business there
as compared with this country. H says
that there ls no comparison between the
status Of laborer there and in Wheel
ing. He described the life Of an iron
laborer in the North OF England to
our reporter. He goes to work at
six in the morning. At hali-rast
seven he has half an hour for breakfast.
His breakfast comes to him at his work,
or is brought by him, in bucket, and con.
sists OF tea, bread ard cheese-no butter,
no mest and no Coiide. His dinner con-
sists OF soup and bread, and perhaps a
little OF the boiled meat, and his supper
some OF the same meat (cold) and bread
and tea. Once week the family buy
what is known as n rag OF mutton"-that
is the foreQuarter with the shoulder cut
out Out OF this the wife cuts the best
piece for Sunday roast, and saves the
rest TO make soup OF during the week.

"They don't compare At all. For in.
stance. a boiler over there gets 9t this
time 81 IS per ion, and pays hia own help

The editor OF the INTELLl0sNcRR is moi
pleased with our exposure OF The Republi.
can plot 10 buy West Virginia. There
may be a very peculiar and personal
reason for his agitation. It il
understood that he, In com.
pany with the chairman OF the
State Republican Committee, made a
stealthly tripto Washington last week and
he may know more about the sending OF
$4,000 corruption fund into the State than
he Is willing for others to know. But we
cannot afford to keep quiet on this &c.
count.
The editor OF the INTRLLlGRNCER has not
been to Washington since last March.
Therefore the Register has simply got of
another OF its persistent campaign lies.
The corrupt proprietor Of that concern
naturally supposes that an editor
should have his hands in cam.
paign fund. He got his hands in
once-up to the eIbows-and the Demo.
cratic party OF this State, after a dear
bought experience, has taken good care
never to let him havea chance at their
money again. They would not trust him
with $40 bill over night.

NOR that General Neal Dow, the Prohihi.

come out 10 favor OF General Garfield, has
produced considerable sensation in polili.
cal circles here. A reporter called at
General Dow's residence, but he vas away
At Dover, N. II. He returns here to.mor.
row. 1t was learned, however, from his
son, Col. F. N. Dow, that the article
which appeared in the Kennebec Journal
and the Portland Pres giving Il o
outline ol General Dow's views is
correct. General Dow has been corrts.
pOnding with friend OH the situation
and finds that the issue is narrowed down
TO Garfield and Hancock, and lha, every
day the reasons why Garfield should Ie
elected grow stronger and stronger. Gen.
Dow, alter all, is a stalwart Republican.
and as election day approaches appr.ci-
ates the fact that the Prohibitory electoral
ticket at tht2 time in Maine would be to
aid Hancock, whose election he thinks
would be disastrous to the political, busi-
ness and temperance interests Of the
entire country. This authoritative All
nouncement confirming the rumor cannot
but strengthen the Republican outlook in
Maiue and throughout the whole country.

Manager OF Ihe wheeling Pottery Com'
pRny.

|
pRny.
Pottery is "a new branch oi manutactur
ing industry in Wheeling. One OF the
largest works in the country is about com
pleted in South Wheeling, and the fref
will be lit in few days. The Works
have been built, and will be under the
management Of Mr.. Edward NJ. Pearson,
an English gentleman Of extensive ex'
perience in England and this country.
One OF our reporters fell in with Mr..
Pearson along with George X. Wheat,
ESQ.,, President OF the Company, Yester'
day, aud opened out on the subject OF
the tariff. Mr.. Pearson said that the tar
it' meant everything OF value to the in.
terest he represented, especially to the
workmen employed in it. and hence they
ought to be deeply concerned for the sue.
cess OF the Republican party.
Suppose" said our reporter, "You
knew the Democratic party was to come
into power in this country, would you
have started this concern In WbeelipgP"
II would not" said Mr.. Pearson. u
would not have taken the risk"
"You are an EuRlishman, Mr.. Pearson,
and understand English manufacturing
sentiment. Which party does that senti'
ment favor in this country
1.-The Democratic party English manu-
faCturers look upon the Democratic party
az the party that will so change the tariff
az to let more Oi their manufactures into
this country. Hence they want 1t TO come
into power. The f. glish pottery men are
now holding on by the skin OF their teeth,
as it were, to their export trade to this scoun'
try, hoping for change in our tariff that
will bring them better times.
"DO they export much to this county,"
ayes; two.thirds OF all the pottery con-
sumed in this country comes from abroad.
10 low have they reduced wages over
there that they are able 10 come iu under a
10 per Ceut. tariff. Themanufacture OF pot.
terry isalmost who'll mstter Of labor, and |
as labor is reduced the cost TO the manu-.
faCturers is reduced. Under the prOteC.
ton o! the Republican party the business
has grown from almost nothing helore the
war to its present proportions. Before the
war we had only % per cent. duty. Now
We have 10, and goods are selling 25 per
cent. cheaper than they were before the
Sar. This IL the effect Of competition. In
Democratic times there vas not q single
white ware pottery in this country. Now
hey are springing up all over the coun-
n.y."

Tith those In Englsnd?"
They are from 20 to 100 per cent.
higher in this countrr. A 30 per cent,

Is not this recital an expressive and i'm.
pressive comment on the gross falsehood
got up by the Wheeling Register for effect
on the public mind at the tail end OF the
present political canvass. What could be
further from the truth than It's statement?
What credit, we ask, is to be attached to
any statement made by such a sheet?
