During our conversation Mr..
Evans said: 1T is almost madden
ing to consider the power over the
whole population which these corpo-
rations have. Their coal lands are
taxed as wild territory; the shan
ties built by the companies and
rented to the men are taxed upon 8
valuation of about $50.
IF well-to-do miner erects the
same kind of a shanty he is taxed
upon a valuation of $500. There
are several cases of the kind here
now, and the miners appealed in
vain.
Let our politicians consider what
will become of them should these
miners wake up to the power OF the
ballot and learn to vote intelligent.

Carnegie, the iron manufactures
is worth $15,OOO,O00; he recently
settled $4,000 q year on his bride
and purchased castle in Scotland,
the land of his birth.
The Willimantic Linen Company
declared 951 per cent on the par
value of its stock for the year 1882.
(See Practical Economies, page 80.
An article on Tariff Revision in
Princeton Rerie'c.) Are any farm
ers making 954 per tent? To make
955 per cent, a farmer worth $lO,'
900 must clear, in one year, 5000.
Does any farmer double his proper
ty in one year? The Willimantic
Company,c can we'll afford to hire men
to tell farmers to clamor for tariff

On page 1881 of vol. Is, Congress
ional Record, May 16, 1882 is a
speech by Mr.. Hewitt in which he
proves that from October 1874 TO
October 1881, the Pa. Steel Com
pany paid 81 per cent; an average
of over IL per cent; and this was
in addition to accommodating sur
plus of $3,2S6,OOO on a capital OF
100000. In other words, this
company paid over IL per cent, and
in Z years nearly doubled its CAPT
tai.
Those making such vast profits
out of the tariff can well afford to
spend money to fool the masses into
voting against the only men who try
to protect them against robbery.

THE TRUSTS RUN To COVER.
n. Y. Standard.

Every effort has been made by
those Immediately concerned to pre-
vent the state senate committee to
investigate trusts from getting at
the bottom facts concerning the
great sugar combination. The Sec
rotary of the organization has. been
absent from the State. Witnesses
summoned by the committee have
been reported sick or absent, and
others when placed on the stand
have fatty refused to answer ques
tions. Mr.. Parsons, one Of the di-
rectors Of the trust, persists in his
refusal to produce the agreement
between the refiners, basing his re
fusal on his rights as counsel, and
in that capacity he also coaches wit
nesses and advises them not to an
swer. If legislative committee
has no more authority than this one
has in the opinion Of Mr.. Parsons,
it is difficult to see why any such
committee should be appointed.
The tactics of the sugar conspi-
rators have been closely initiated
by those interested in other trusts.
William Rockefeller of
the Standard oil trust is in Florida
when wanted to testify concerning
the cotton seed oil trust,with which,
of course. the Standard trust has
nothing to do. The agreement on
which the cotton seed oil trust is
based is conveniently absent in Gin
cinnati. and no one can think Of any
way in which it could be produced
in this city.
All of this seems to indicate that
the investigation will fail to elicit
the information most desired by the
public, but such failure will not
prove that the proceeding has been

THE NEW TARIFF BILL.
Baltimore Sun.

BALTIMORE sun.
The new tariff bill, is constructed
for the most part in accordance
with the two democratic ideas
that articles used by the poor
should be taxed less heavily than
those consumed by the rich. and
that the raw materials of manufac-
lures should pay no duty at all.
There is considerable reduction
of duties. for example,upon the cheap
er sorts of wooden and cotton goods,
carpets, carthenware. glass and
sugar, such as Tie poor buy, while
high-priced grades, such as only
the rich can well afford, are made
TO pay high tax. The free list has
been enlarged in the same spirit.
While most of the articles included
in it are of Importance chiefly as raw
materials of manufactures, still
there are many, such as salt, timber.
vegetables. fruits and meats, that
enter at once into IONS umption.
Articles in this list worth special
mention are: Tin-plate. necessary
material of our canning industry,
cotton ties, fax. wax, liquorice,
borax, blue vitriol, copperas, dye
stuffs, needles, dates, figs, plums,
prunes, currants, beans, milk, cocoa,
paper pulp, mineral waters and
books in foreign tongues. The
reduction effected by the enlarge
ment of the free list is $22, 100000.
Sugar of grades not above No. Ii
Dutch standard is reduced from
LAO an 2.75 cents per pound to
I.l5-1OO cents per pound; sugars of
the highest grade from $50 to 2.55
per pound. It's provided, however,
that these reductions shall not take
effect upon sugar coming from coun.
tries that impose an export duty on
sugar. Bichromate of potash is
reduced from to q cents per
pound. On plain china there is a
reduction from IS to 80 per cent.
adj valorem. The tax on pig iron
is reduced to Sc per ton; on steel
rails and railway bars to$1l per ton.
There are reductions on many manu-
features of iron and steel. The
lower rate is most noticeable in the
cases of certain kinds of wooden and
cotton goods, glass, ready-nade
clothing. writing paper, envelopes,
toys, matches, common umbrellas,
rice, wood screws, nails, wire for
gings, chains, common china and
earthenware, ground spices, medic
inal preparations and proprietary
medicines. The induction of reve-
nue. expected from wooden goods is
$12.000,000; chemicals, $750,OOO;
crockery, 81, 500, 600; cottons, $780,
900; fax, hemp and jute, 81 500, 900;
sugar, $11 100000. The total reduc-
ton from customs duties is estimat-
ed at $4,000 900. Internal revenue
taxes will, when reached, be reduced,
it is thought, about $2O.0O0,OOO.
The bill is expected to be reported
to the House for action about the
Ist April. AS Mr.. Randall is re-
ported to have pronounced it a
'vicious bill'' its fate there may
be regarded as uncertain.

In this, their hour of tribulation,
timid Democratic papers ought to
refresh their souls now and then by
reading that platform Of 1876, in
which the existing tariff was de-
nounced as "a masterpiece of inius-
tice, inequality and false pretense. "
Here are few of the counts in the
indictment it brought against the
sacred protective tariff;
1t has impoverished many indus
tries to subsidize few.
1t prohibits imports that might
purchase the products of American
labor.
1t has degraded American COM
merce from the first to an inferior
rank on the high seas.
1t has cut down the sales OF
American manufacturers at home
and abroad and depleted the re-
turns of American agriculture-an
industry followed by half our peo-
pie.
1t costs the people five times more
than it produces to the treasury,
Obstructs the processes Of product
ion and wastes the fruits oflabOr.
1t promotes fraud, fosters snug
Cling, enriches dishonest officials
and bankrupts honest merchants.
We demand that the Custom
House tdratieR shat be only for
rereRUe.
Where is the dalliance with the
protective delusion in that platform?
Let the shaking towards who are
scared about New York and New
Jersey read it. On that platform
in 1876 Mr.. Tilden carried New
York by over $4,000, New Jersey by
over 10000 and Connecticut by
l7I2. No Democratic candidate on
a tariff straddling platform has
done as we'll since

The object of this law, (the rail-
road bill, is to prevent railroads
from discriminating in favor of any
particular person or location
Richmond { va. J State.
The present Virginia Legislature
consists of an unusually large pro-
portion of farmers; for several years
the Farmers Association of Virginia
has passed resolutions insisting on
the passage of this law; the body OF
the people in Virginia are unanimous
for it, and yet the bill was defeated
the other day in the Senate. Is 1t
not strange, farmers learn nothing
by experience? Is it not strange
they continue to follow railroad poll
ticians? The State is the only Rich
mond paper independent of railroad
influence, and yet the farmers do not
support it, The moment a man
sides with the people, as against the
money power they desert him. We
never see the money power desert
those who betray the people.
Those who profess acquaintance
with the situation well know that
our public highways, which are ar
teries Of commerce, are now in the
custody of shylark bankers with no
interest in common with the people
along the line. whom they regard
simply as so many sheep to be fieec-
ed. These bankers hire the best
talent to invent methods TO plumber
the public, and they have their en-
issaries in every community to pre-
vent intelligent voting. These EN-
issaries are instructed to exclude
/ from the Legislature men who have
/ studied the railroad question, and
who. having studied it, will be loyal
to the people.
Do railroad managers discrimi-
nate in favor of one person and
against another? Ii they do not
discriminate, why are they so anx'
ious to prevent the passage OF this
law?

The Monroe Watchmqn well saws,

The Monroe WGtchmGR well says,
those to succeed must fall:
Men of recognized integrity and
capacity must be nominated. If
the machinery of the party is to be
turned over to persons of slip-shod
character or doubtful competency,
TO be used to further their selfish
ambitions, or to promote the pecuni-
airy interests of secret employers,
then further effort will be hopeless.
If this is not prevented, the fate of
the party is clearly sealed. Fair
methods must be used and men of
sound principles nominated who
will inspire the respect and confid-
ence of the people. The rank and
file of the party must feel that they
have decent candidates, who have
been decently nominated upon SEN
sible platforms, and are worth fight
ing for.

LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS.

The engineers on the c. b. d q.
railroad have struck for better wag-
es, and delegates, appointed to rep
resent all the roads centering in
New York, met on the 4th. The
following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted:
Whereas, 1t is learned that the
managers of railroads throughout
the country have combined in Sc
cretly aiding and assisting the man.
agement of the G. B. and @. railway
in their present trouble. and
Whereas, Such action on the part
of the managers is cowardly and un.
fair, therefore be it
Resolved, First, that we as rep
resentatives of the various divisions
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers in this vicinity, in con-
vention assembled, do hereby de-
nounce said action on the part of
said managers, and declare that we
as an organization are justified in
resorting to extreme measures in
overcoming this outside interference
with the affairs Of our brother engi-
neers upon the c. b. and G. railway.
Second, That to this end we re-
commend that il the aforesaid diff
Guilty is not settled within reason
BILE tihe, upon fair and reasonable
basis, that all the Brotherhood men
upon the. connecting lines OF the &.
B. and @. system resign their posi-
tions upon given date.
Third, That il this action as
means of last resort is not sufficient
to gain the just and reasonable de-
mands of the engineers and firemen
upon the aforesaid railroad, that we
as an entire organization through
out the United States, Canada and
Mexico, join with them in u univer-
sal demand for their acknowledged
rights, of being paid the established
rates Tor work actually performed.
1t may be that presently these
railroad employees will learn to dis
tinguish between politicians who
are the stool-pigeons Of monopoly
and those few public men who are
not afraid Of the money power. 1t
may be. the Brotherhood will one
day learn to vote intelligently.

interest on the cost of all the rail
roads that are needed. This wealth
has become known to capital and in
the near future these roads will
surely be built. IF the Legislature
does its duty the harvest will be
gathered by those whu now own. the
land. If the Legislature fails in its
duty all this property will inevitably
pass into the hands of non residents
and our home population will be
worse off than at present.

THE INDUSTRIAL CONVENTION
A REVELATION.

The delegates at the meeting held
ON Doth of February at Wheeling
were very numerous. Among them
were many earnest and capable men.
They assembled at the invitation of
a business organization, to confer
upon the interests and the develop
ment of the State. Jealous care was
taken to proven, anything of a so
called "pOIiticaT' character. The
motives Of the convention was right.
Its work accomplished will be OF
practical benefit. Business men
bent on attending to public matters
are said to have effected more in
their session of ten hours than has
been done in that direction in twen-
w years. We trust this is true, and
are willing to concede it. As the
results Of this convention go forth
TO the world holding up to view, the
State, her wonderful resources and
her possibilities, there will be pre-
scented an object lesson that We have
time and again sought to picture.
This general turning-out of citi-
zens and the ignoring of party lines,
was not so intended; but it was in
fact an indirect protest againt the
mannerin which the States interests
have been neglected by successive
Legislatures that have sat for
months, with greater opportunities
and fuller powers, than this non
partisan assembly possessed.
A State of unsurpassed resources
seems powerless in the hands OF in
fluences, that neutralize and cripple
the efforts of worthy men in the Leg
islature; and when patriotic appeals
are addressed to her citizens to do
something for the State at large,
they send delegates to an unofficial
body, to consider matters of purely
public concern. The appropriate
channel for all the measures sug-
gested is the Legislature; but 1T has
often proved, that personal interests
so far dominate the public body,
that public interests must needs be
thus relegated to private enterprise.
What a commentary We criticise
neither the calling nor the acts of
the convention. On the contrary,
we commend the fine spirit mani
tested, and we heartily applaud the
genuine eloquence of the cold facts
well presented.
Why can we not get ten hours OF
such telling results out of the men
sent to Charleston, clothed with the
powers of the State and sworn to
enact measures for her good ?
In high and noble sense, the
Wheeling convention was dealing
with political questions and it is a
reproach to the way that our affairs
have been managed, that these prac-
teal questions can get more effect
i've consideration before individuals
in one day, than they can command
before the official body during a
session.
Between the lines of all that is
recorded of the meeting in Wheel
ing our people will read much; and
they well may ask; "Why can we
mot assert our power, and select for
public service, men competent and
willing to legislate cOnscientiously
"for the interests of the State and OF
her people ?" Yes; why not

A tariff for protection is a contrl-
vance to shut out foreign goods, in
order that home manufacturers may
exact higher prices. In other words,
it is a scheme to make the many
paw tribute to the few.
West Virginia Democrat. [volume] (Charles Town, W. Va.) 1885-1890, 1888-03-09

Wheeler of N. Y. and Butterworth
of Ohio are to have joint discus
sion on the tariff in Boston. A joint
discussion between Golf and Jno. j.
Davis, in Wheeling, would bring
good fruit. We predict Golf won't
discuss.
