A Poor Way of Saving the Tariff.

It appears that Mr.. Calvin Wells
and other Pittsbnrg iron masters
have been contributing funds to aid
Senator Malone in his effort to main
tain his political ascendancy in Vir-
ginia. The pretence on which those
iron masters justify their meddling
in the political affairs of that State
is that they aim to preserve the tariff
and believe that by aiding the repu-
diators in State election they are
building up barricades behind which
their pet theory may be secure.
During the past two or three years
iron masters have been complaining
of dull trade and no profits. The
tariff which Mr.. Calvin Wells and his
Pittsburg associates desire to pre-
serve through the triumph of Malone
and reputation has not been able to
make business flourish or profitable.
They have been compelled to reduce
wages to basis almost below liv-
ing standard, and as a result strikes
have been occurring with unpleasant
frequency in the neighborhood in
which they operate.
If the tariff does not make business
brisk or profitable it is hardly worth
preserving at the expense of aiding a
repudiator to perpetuate his dishon-
est and disgraceful ascendancy. II
it does make business brisk and
profitable the reduction of wages in
the Pittsburg mills was not justified
and was dishonest. In either event
the money recently sent to Malone
by Mr.. Wells to swell his corruption
fund properly distributed as wages
among the workingmen would have
been more creditably bestowed and
accomplished more good to the iron
industry from which it was drawn.

The New York Democrats do not
dodge the tariff issue. They reafirm
the national platform and insist upon
tariff revision, so that the market for
our products may be enlarged and
industry relieved from unnecessary
burdens. This is a striking contrast
to the Republicans who repudiate the
utterances of the national convention
and cling to the Morrill, war tariff as
the most benifcent lot of legislation
ever devised.
