1T WORKS BOTH WAYS.

II every American consumer were to buy In
England all that he con sumes, what sort Of q NIX
would he be lett in as produeer2 neyery dol
lar earned in Wheeling were to be spent some
where else, what sort Of . fix would Wheeling be
left INF Nobody would be able to earn q cent ex-
eept those whose product is consumed iu other
parts OF the country.
This isn't a lengthy or lsbOred argument, and
IL isn't backed up by a single citation from a
Free Trade text book. Nevertheless we would like
somebody to answer IL from all the text books
he can command and from all the experience OF
mankind that he may know oE-IHtel'l0snesr.
Nobody bat q youth Of i'll developed
brains, about the age and general make up
of the editor of the IRtslligeneer could i'm
agiue ''every American consumer buying
in England all that he consumes" And
only the same brilliant mind could evolve
such stupendous thought as is contained
in the query:
Ifeyery dollar earned In Wheeling were to be
spent somewhere else, what sort Of fx would
wheeling be let in2
What sort of fix would Wheeling be
left in If nobody beyond her limits spent
cent in Wheeling? What would become
of our great industries, hardly dollar Of
whose products is consumed in Wheeline9
That is Just the situation that the Rspub-
Iican party proposes to place the United
States in, with its absurd prohibitory
tariff; to build Chinese wall about this
grsudest country on the globe. without
free trade between the States what sort Of
a fix would Wheeling be in? Where would
her great nail mills, glass works. potteries,
etc, etc, sell their products2 They
couldn't sell hundredth part Of them IN
Wheeling. They would all shut down,
and everybody in Wheeling would move
out into the country and attempt to sus-
tain life on patch of ground, for not .
dollar could be earned in Wheeling.
Yet this is just precisely the fix in which
the Rsrublican party wishes to place the
United States with regard to the rest of
the world.
wewould remark, ala BIRDIE that this
isn't lengthy or labored argument, and
il isn't backed up by single citation
from Free Trade text book Nsverthe-
less we would like somebody land We have
our eye on BIRDIE1 to answer it from al
the text books he can command and from

surd trash or has he been the victim Of
some interviewing friend? Why did be,
the interviewer, we mean, not put II six
teen million miles OF coal that West vir-
ginis is possessed Of instead Of $1,000,
while he was in the big figure wsy9 Six
teen million woald have looked much bet
ter. and very few New Workers know that
we have bat 24,7s0 square miles Of terri
tory in the whole State. But why talk of
coal or iron ere either9 What has coal or iron
to do with the political issue? Who wants
10 touch coal or iron? Who wants to lower
the duty9 Who said anything about coal
or iron, unless II was President Arthur
or the Republican Tariff commission?
President CLEyELAsp didn't The
MILLS bill doesn't The Democratic
platform doesn't What is Senator Scorr
talking about?
As regards salt, how much of II do we
produce in this State? Michigan has
about driven rs ont Of the market. Prob
ably Senator Scorr wants protective tar
in to keep Michigan salt out. of the United
States. There would be about a. much
sense in such proposition as in tbs prop
osition TO keep up the salt tariff, when
Michigan and New York can NOT only
undersell West Virginia, but the whole
salt producing world. A tariff On salt
piled mountains high could not benefit
the West Virginia salt industry one cents
worth and the abolition Of tine tariff could
not hurt IL.
ave must have protection for our great
industries" says Senator SCOTT. Very
true. Who says anything to the contrary?
Will Senator ScorT tell us2 The President
doesn't. The MILLS bill doesn't The
Democratic platform doesn't. Will Sena-
tor SCorr name one of ''our great indus
tries" or small industries either, that The
President, or the Democratic party, or the
MILLS bill, proposes to injure? The great
iron industry Of this section is not touched
by the MILLS bill. Aud the poor, paltry
reduction in the glass schedule does not
amount to snap Of the finger, as Senator
ScorT, q glass manufacturer himself,
knows full well. Independent glass man
ufacturers declare the tariff should be re-
duced far more than Mr.. MILLS dreamed
of reducing it in the bill bearing his name.
What does Senator ScoTT mean, we ask,
by such furious Misrepresentation Of the
Democratic party as is contained in the
Sun interview
We hope and believe that Senator SCOTT
has been grossly misquoted, for the words
placed in his mouth are an insult to the
people of West Virginia whom he speaks Of
as very intelligent.
