Great Britain has ruined every country
in the world which she has persuaded or
forced into free trade. Her commercial
treaties, cozened ont OF Portugal, Spain
and Turkey, destroyed the industries Of
each OF these countries and made them
poor. Her cheap goods crushed out the
an cient household manufactures OF the
Indian empire, which she overran, and
left millions Of the conquered people with
the bare subsistence of rice and water. A
British army OF invasion forced China to
admit into her territory the opium which
the British merchant could market only

the custom houses OF China of British
merchandise at the destructive duty Of

ci.vsiana'. Letter Of Acceptance.

Cleveland has at last made public his
letter Of acceptance, and on the tariff
question il follows pretty closely his mes
sage Of last Decem Der, 1t is based on The
following assumption, which is also the
foundation Of every argument for free
trade.
II suppose that It is needless TO explain
that all these dnties and assessments are
added TO the price Of the articles upon
which they are levied, and thus become .
tax upon all those who buy these articles
Tor use and consumption. suppose, too,
II is we'll understood that the effect OF til,
tariff taxation is not limited to the con
sumers VI imported articles. but that the
duties imposed upon such articles permit
corresponding increase in price to be
laid upon domestic productions OF the
same kind, which increase, paid by all our
people as consumers OF home productions,
and entering every American home, con
stitutes form Of taxetion as certain and
as inevitable as though the amount was
annually paid into the hands OF the tax
gatherer."
II has been shown over and over again
that this assumption OF the President is
falss in point Of fact 1t leaves out Of the
question entirely the reduction OF prices by
home competition, and this in many cases
has reduced prices nearly or quite to the
level Of prices for the same articles in for
eign countries. 1t is also fact that prices
OF nearly everything we produce are much
lower under high tariff than they were
under the low tariff from 184S TO 1860.
II this is true then the Presidents labored

has no foundation to stand upon. He

The Mills bill calling tia very moderate

Prior to 1888 the duty on wool was
ten cents per pound, specific, and eleven
per cent I'D valorem. In that year the
ad valorem duty was dropped, leaving
the duty at 10 cents per pound. The
Democracy Of Ohio thought this great
outrage on the wool growers OF that
State, and accordingly the 9TH of Jan
uary following their Democratic Legs,
lature passed the following resolution:
That our Senators in Congress be, and
are hereby instructed, and our Repre-
sentatives requested to use all honorable
means and vote for the bill to restore the
tariff on wool us it stood prior to the
recent reduction, and that the Governor
be requested to send copy OF the reso-
lutions TO each Of our Senators and Rep
resontatives at Washington.
The Democratic party is and always
has been the party OF the people, the
friend OF the agricultural and wool
growing interests, the enemy Of monop-
DIV, the friend OF labor, in whose hands
the interests OF workingmen are and nj.
ways will be safe.
One would suppose that the party that
took this position SO recently would not
turn about and join the President in de
manding that wool be put on the free
list. And yet that is just what the Dem

Come neighbor your complete back
down before the Registers challenge, by
accepting which you could have easily
proved your case il you had one, has
perfectly convinced everybody that your
Washington special" was product Of
your own cock-loft mandatory. You
cannot deny this, nor take refuge be-
hind an assumption that the public is
not interested. We protest that your
readers are very much interested in
knowing whether your remarkable
Washington specials come through
the Western Union or are manufactured
in your cock-loft, whether your news is
genuine or bogus.-Register.
Itisafavorite amusement Of the Register
to accuse the INTHLLldESeER Of manu-
featuring its Washington specials. Par
ticularly is this the case when the
specials happen to expose something
that the General Manager OF our con-
temporary desires shall remain a pro-
found secret. 1t hopes by accusing the
INrELLIGENcER Of manufacturing Wash
ington news at the Wheeling end OF the
line to convince some one that the dis
patch is fabrication, and that its news
features are not genuine. II the public
has any doubts of the authenticity OF the
INrELLIGEScER's specials they are usual
ly banished upon witnessing the Regis
ter's frantic efforts at denials. At least,
the suspicion is created that somebody
has been badly hurt.
The particular special, the genuine
ness of which just now seems to
be agitating our contemporary, and
in the effort to disprove which it
wastes much valuable space, is a
Washington dispatch that appeared
in this paper a few days since, detailing
secret visit made TO Washington by
General Manager fancy, Of the Register,
Hon. Randolph Stalnaker and Mr.. j. R.
McCortney in the interest of the pottery
industry. The trip, as we have previ.
Ously stated, was in behalf OF worthy
cause, but for reasons that were stated
in the dispatch General Manager fancy
did not desire that the matter should be
made public. The INrELLlGENcER's
Washington correspondent, however,
was notified by telegraph from this office
of the presence of the delegation in
Washington and instructed to ascertain
the nature OF their bushes. He COM
piled with the instructions and the next
morning his dispatch, which the Register
charges was manufactured ut this end,
appeared in the ISTELLIoENcER. The
Register in its attempt to prove the dis
patch bogus fell into a trap of its Own
setting, for it produced letter from
Congressman Bynum, in which the state
ment appeared that the ISrRLLIGEXcER
correspondent called upon him in
Washington for information concerning
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1888-05-25

The ISrELLIGEHcER is in receipt OF
communication, which appears to-day,
on the subjectof the alleged suppression
Of prohibition votes in Preston county
in 1886. The charge that several prohi-
bition votes were "either suppressed or
counted for Judge Flick" which certain
Prohibitionists are making, is shown by
Mr.. Carskadon's letter to be unfounded.
Mr.. Carskadon finds that the record in
the County Clerks office shows that the
votes cast for Mr.. Siler, the prohibition
candidate, were counted for him, but
that they were not certified to the Gov
ernor by the County Court. Thus the
reckless charge made by Grandon's
Graphic and some other over-enthusias-
tic prohibitionists, that there was fraud
committed in the interest Of Judge
Flick, and that the votes were counted
for that gentleman, falls to the ground.
The fact is simply that the County Com
missioners were guilty OF an I'M
intentional oversight in failing to
certify the votes to tho Cover
nor. We say unintentfonal because it
could not reasonably have been other
wise, in view OF the fact that the official
vote in the County Clerks office showed,
and still shows, that there was n fur
count, and that neither Mr.. Wilson or
Mr.. Flick could possibly have profted
by the failure of the commissioners to
certify them. The point that the COM
missioners in this act OF omission failed
to fully comply with the law, is well
taken, though the INrELMGENcgR does
not believe that they were prompted by
sinister motives. There was no reason
for the latter The failure to certify
thirteen votes in an entire county, at a
time when their certifcation would
have neither changed the result or had
any possible effect on public sentiment,
was simply piece OF pardonable care
lessness, and those Prohibition gentle
men who are straining themselves to I'M
earth Republican fraud that does not
exist are making themselves supremacy
ridiculous.
