A Suggestion.

Suppose Mr. B aine should see fi to
quietly cast his considerable influence IL
favor of the nomination of Mr.. William
Walter Phelps for the Presidency, and
that by AID by Mr.. Phelps should loom
up as dark horse st Chicago? Mr..
Phelps is very rich msn, and he could
probably carry his own doubtful
or Democratic state. He is an able
man, with accomplishments in culture
such as but few of our recent Presidents
have had. He began his political life as
q man of Independent tendencies in poll
tics, and bought the New York Tribune
for Whitelew R ed when Mr.. Reid WAS 8
mugwump. But he is now about IS
nearly Mr.. Blsine's alter ego as is any
man in public life. We csu think Of no
one who would better please Mr.. Blaine
as President.

The business men have begun to lay
hold OF the tariff question and to tell
what they know about it; which is bad
for the party of free trade. Business
men arc not much given to theory. They
deal in facts, and facts arc particularly
what free trade cannot stand, ior free
trade is "a science based on Nssunp-
TONS"
Elswherc We print from then York
Pres letter by Col. W. l.. Strong, IL
man largely engaged in mercantile man
uiacturc, an observer and thinker,
and withal man OF strong character.
Col. Strong shows that if tho American
wage.earncr paid the whole tariff he
would still be the gamer by an aggregate
OF S39S, 1883 on the comparative ba-
sis OF American wages and English
wages. This puts the question OF wages
and tariff in a nutshell so that every
body may comprehend it; and tho free
trauerS cannot upset tlls way OF put
ting 1t.
Col. StrongsaYssom other things which
shouldset Americans to thinking, for they
have to do with our bread and butter.
lie shows that the free trade utterances
Of President Cleveland have set British
manufacturers on keen edge, hoping for
larger share Of our trade. II they get
moro, American manufacturers ind
American wage.earners will get less The
best way to dash tho British hopes rais-
ed by tho free trade doings is to defeat
the Mills bill and elect President on
protection platform and with a protec-
ton record OF his own. II the people
want protection they cannot hope toget
1t by voting for free trade.

The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1888-04-17

Tho history OF the formation OF the va
rious City Boards OF Wheeling is so re-
cent, aud the causes which induced that
step 80 well known, that it is not neces-
sary at this time To review this branch OF
tho subject. The Boards were born in
the face OF great opposition, much of
which was honest but based on mis-.
conception OF the situation. To say
that tho Boards, in spite OF any and all
st6fccts, have fully vindicatcd the wis
dom OF their establishment, is to say
only that which every observing man in
tho City OF Wheeling knows to be true.
The generally excellent administra-
ton OF every branch Of the public SER
vice which these Boards have sdminis-
tered, gives ample and conclusive ttsti-
mony to their efficiency. Not only 50,
but as they gather experience they i'm
prove, giving tho people still more and
moro for the money entrusted to them
for disbursement. While it is no more
than was to have been expected, it is
nevertheless worth while to recall the
credit0blc fact, that no scandal is con-
nected with the administration OF any
Of these Boards. Their work in the
main has not only been performed on
approved business principles, but has
achieved results which stand to the last
ing credit Of tho men who have com.
posed these bodies.
Every citizen of Wheeling remembers
that condition OF affairs out OF which the
public service OF this city was lifted by
the creation Of these Boards, when the
executive business OF the city was ad-
ministered by committees Of oouncil-a
strange and Improbable mixing Of leg.
islativo with executive functions. Tint
was tho day Of transacting business by

they would have balance Of $39S,7l3,-
s03'to their credit on the English pay
roll and $3.50, 7l3, lG7 to their credit on
the German pay roll. .-.
Who can look at this plain statement
Of facts and advocate the adoption Of
the Mills bill, now before Congress?
The main argument the friends OF this
bill make use Of Il, eve must reduce
the surplus" and the only way to do
that, they say, is to reduce the tariff;
when the past experience has shown
that only very slight reduction on one
article alone increased the revenue from
that source just five times. And the
practical operation Of the Mills bill
would be, were it TO become law on the
first of July next, to increase our reve-
nue. Just about 100 per cent between that
date and January /, 1889, and paralyZc
for the near future the largest part Of
our industries in this country.
The great textile manufacturing inter-
est in this country to-day is suffering
lust from the fact that the impression
all through England and on the CONT
nent is that we have free trade Presi-
dent, and there is scarcely anil OF any
prominence in all Europe that has not
sent u salesman over here to take orders
for their products, with the belief that
the revenue would not be collected; and
hundreds OF STYLES and kinds OF fabrics
have been sent to this country during
1887 that were never before sent here.
Most of their fabrics are sent out here at
a less cost than they can be made for
over there, lcssening the duties tobe
paid on their goods quite one half WilGt
they would pay il the real cost ut the
place they were made were given.
The estimate to-day OF the number OF
foreign statesmen in this country solicit
| ing orders for merchandise Is about one
hundred to every one there was in 1881.
Is it not time that the honest wage.
Carners and the business men OF this
country wake up and look ut these as
founding facts and use their influence to
put in nomination for the Presidency q
business man, a friend OF the laboring
man, one who has been tried and has
never proved recreant to them in their
interests?
Respectfully yours,
W. l.. STRONG.
