ORGANIZING.

The Republican clubs met in Wheel
ing February 18th 10 organize State
league 10 act in harmony with the Ma
tiOnal league.
1t is we'll for those who propose to
manage our party in the next cam
paign to give this notice immediate
consideration. 1t means, the Re
publicans intend to make a desper-
ate attempt to capture West Vir
ginia.
Two courses are open TO our po-
litical managers
~ They may continue machine
methods and rely on a "still hum"
coupled with the corrupt use of
money and supplemented by pros
titution of the Federal patronage.
If this course is adopted, the
State goes Republican.
(2) They may repudiate machine
methods and make a manly and hon
est appeal to the intelligence of vo-
tiers. If this course be adopted, we
must bring to the front truthful
men, who deal fairly with the pub
lie. We must plant our party on
propositions which are approved by
the more intelligent class of voters.
For example, we must make it I'M
derstood, that five are again trusted
with control Of the State, the Legis-
lature will pass the Chew bill: it
will abolish the free pass bribery,
and it will compel tax-dodgers to
list the commercial property which
now escapes.
These are the two courses open to
our managers: One, is the "still
hunts" the other is an open, honest,
manly appeal to the intelligence of
voters. We will win with the latter;
we cannot win with the former. We

THE COST OF 1T.
BALTIC. Sun.

The average tariff on tax imports
is about 90 per cent, and the object
of the tax, so far as it is protect
ive," is to enable American manu-
facturers to get so per cent. more
for their products than they would
get without the tariff. The tax paid
by the people for the encouragement
of manufacturing capitalists con-
sists therefore of two parts, the
amount paid into the federal treas
ury in the shape of customs duties
on imports and the amount paid di-
rectly into the hands of the ''pro
tected" manufacturers in conse-
quence of the so per cent. enhance
ment of the prices of their wares.
The amount of customs duties paid
in the last fiscal yesr was $217, 1885,
S93. What was the amount of tax
paid directly to the manufacturer !
Persons who have given attention
to the matter estimate the tax paid
to the manufacturer at about three
times the amount received by the
government at the custom houses,or
about 100000, 900, making the to-
tai paid about $SS0,000,000. 1t is
proper to say, however, that some

Competition at Home.

A long review of the trade ofChi-
cago during the year 1887, publish
ed by the Inter Ocean, contains the
following statements about linseed
oil:
The annual production oflinseed
oil in the United States is 2S,000,-
600 gallons, the West crushing
about 100000 gallons and the
mills in Chicago 3,750,000. The
year 1887 will long be remembered
because of the formation of the Ma
tional Linseed Oil Trust, which was
started in January, and made such
rapid progress that before six
months had passed it virtually con-
trolled and brought harmony among
the crushers, where chaos had reign
ed. There are now thirty-siX mills
in the Trust, representing over one
half the crushing capacity of the
country. Certificates to the amount
of $11,000,000 have been issued on
the basis of $3.50 share, and are
now salable in the open market at
that price"
The linseed oil combination is,
then, a real Trust. like the Standard
Oil Trust and the Cottonseed Oil
Trust, and not a mere association
or pool. Probably it will soon alb
sorb the mills which are now out
side of it. The Inter Ocean shows

WINDOW GLASS VERY HIGH.
An Advance IF so per cent Made During
the Past Year.
DISPATCH 70 New York Times.


PITTsBURG, Jan. "A remarka-
BILE advance in the price of window
glass has been going on during the
past few months, caused by an I'M
precented demand. At the present
time there are more orders booked
than tho entire stock in the country,
both of home make and imported,
will supply. Such condition Of
affairs in the window glass business
was never before known at this sea-
son of the year. An advance in the
price of 80 per cent. over that asked
last year is a natural result. By
the agreement recently made the
1000 glassblowers get an advance
of ) per cent in wages. In Pitts
burg alone there are 10 window
glass factories, with n capacity of
100000 boxes, valued at over S3,-
100000. The 1000 glassblowers,
who receive an increase in wages as
their share of the advanced market,
are employed in glass factories in
and out of the city. The substitu-
tion of natural gas for coal as fuel
in all the processes of glass making
has had a beneficial effect which it
is hard to estimate.
(The labor class is so simple
minded as to believe that tariff for
protection is intended to increase
wages. Here is an object lesson.
Prices advanced 80 per cent; wages
advanced only per cent. Will
Labor ever learn to vote intelligent

HOW 1T WORKS.

The disagreement between the
glass manufacturers and the work
men throws out of employment over
a thousand persons in Wheeling
alone.-Iatelligencer, Jan. 4.
The strike among the flint glass
workers in Eastern and Western fac
tories is likely to continue long
time. 1t is estimated $4,000 glass
workers are now idle in consequence
of this strike.-N. y. World, Jan

Glass Manufacturers Unite Against the
Unions.
Dispatch to the BALTIC. Sun.


New YORK, Jan NEARLY all
of the glass manufacturers in this
country and in Canada have united
for the purpose of resisting the rules
of the glassmakers' unions. The
proprietors Of nearly 200 factories
have agreed among themselves to
settle definitely the question, as they
put it, whether the glass factories
are to be run by the proprietors or
by the trades unions. The manu-
facturers propose to exercise the
right hereafter Of hiring and dis
charging such men as they choose,
whenever they choose. If the union
employees of any factories insist up
on boycotting all non-union men the
factories will be shut down.
(The factory owners agree to
"card rates." they have pool, trusts
and every sort of secret combina-
ton to keep up prices, but the mo-
ment Labor cooperates to maintain
wages, the factory owners unite to
punish Labor When an election
approaches Labor votes for protect
ion. Will Labor ever learn to vote
intelligently ? Ed. DEM

The Republican Senators are try
ing to make capital by defeat
ing Mr.. Lamar for the Supreme
Court. The Federal Judiciary is
the only branch of our Government
that pretends obe exempt from the
influence of corrupt politics. Let
the public consider whether schem-
ing politicians shall destroy the in
tegrity of the Bench,-the sole re-
naming hope of our institutions.
1t is useless to disguise the fact
that the South has stopped sending
her best talent to Washington. If
the entire Southern delegation meas
ured up to the standard of Beck,
Carlisle, Coke and Reagan, the
course of Congress would be very
different. The Southern railroads
are owned by Wall street, and her
politicians, as a rule, are afraid Of
railroad influence.
Mr.. Arnold has offered in the Va.
Legislature a bill to apply the
Interstate Commerce law to local
traffic. 1t is virtually the same bill
Col Chew presented at Charleston
last winter, but is less carefully pre-
pared. Mr.. Arnold is wasting his
time. The Virginia railroads Gown
eel by wall street, have taken care
to secure a majority of his Legisla-
ture. Mr. Arnold's bill will not
pass.
