New Eng1and's Call for Tariff
Reform.

The New England movement for
tariff reform on the line of free raw
material and lower duties on the
cruder products that constitute the
basis of important and varied indus
tries seems to be increasing in force,
and is likely to prove an important
factor in the votes in Congress on
tariff revision next winter Seventy
years ago, when it's manufacturing
interests were in their infancy, and
commerce, shipping and agriculture
were controlling, New England was
favorable to a low tariff With the
growth of manufactures, sentiment
changed, and Webster, who had
made free trade speeches as they
would now be characterized became
stout protectionist. In course of
time, with the decay of her foreign
commerce and ship building inter
ests, New England came to be look
ed on after Pennsylvania as the
great stronghold of the radical pro-
tectionists. Now another change is
coming over the spirit of their polit-
ical beliefs, and Republican manu-
facturers and politicians who sup
ported Harrison last year are advo-
eating more sweeping reductions in
the tariff than were proposed by the
Mills bill. The industrial crisis has
come upon them with great sudden
ness. The iron and woollcn manu-
facturers of New England are on
their last legs, and the cry goes up
for free raw material and lower du-
ties in crude manufactures as their
only salvation. There is not so
much said as there was last year
about free sugar or free rice, but the
demand is for free iron ore, free coal,
free wool, and nominal dut, on pig
iron and scrap iron and steel. Gov
ernor Ames, who was elected last
year on the ticket with General Har-
rison, it is announced, has signed
the manufacturers petition to Con
gress for the abolition of the duty
on coal and iron ore, and the rcduc-
ton of the duty on pig and scrap
iron and scrap steel to "a per cent.
He represents one of the largest
steel industries in New England

BOSS Quay Is Gloriiied.

The Republican Convention in
Pennsylvania greatly rejoiced' be-
cause the campaign of 1883 was
fought and won under Pennsylvania
leadership and upon a Pennsylvania
platform. And it specially tender
ed its thanks ito the Hon. Matthew
S. Quay for the honorable and mas.
terful way in which he conducted
that campaign"
Since the days of Tweed there has
never been in American politics such
another example of bravado as this.
Matthew S. Quay's reputation is
that OF successful briber and cor
ruptlonist. So notorious was this
that when he proposed to nominate
himself as a candidate for Treasurer
of Pennsylvania the leading Repub-
lican journals of that State threat
ened the party with bolt. His ac-
ton in procuring pardon for two
of his pals who were convicted and
sent to the penitentiary for bribing
members of the Legislature was de.
nounced by the chief Republican or
gan in this city as the worst defiance
of public opinion known since the
bluff of Boss Tweed.
Chairman Quay's honorable and
masterful way" of conducting the
late campaign was indicated by his
assurance to John Wanamaker, a
few days before the election, that he
could render the election of Harrison
certain if he were given money
enough and no questions asked.
With the 100000 added to his pre-
yiously enormous corruption fund
Pennsylvania leadership" prevailed.
And success won in such way, by
such man, is one in which the Re
pnblicans of Pennsylvania greatly
rejoice"

What Will the OIL Boom Bring
uJsp


If the development of the Monon-
gala oil field continues, said lead
ing operator, cit will make Morgan
town."
And we believe it will.
We prophesied some time ago that
this would be tie biggest boom our
county ever had. 1t has already
reached such proportions. If moth
ing else comes of it than is already
apparent, it will have brought more
money to this county than any other
enterprise ever did,
There are many ways in which
our county will be benefited, but the
chief advantage will come from the
settlement among us of lagre num-
Der of capitalists, men who will bring
capital with them, and others who
will make fortunes out of lucky oil
strikes. 1t will not be year before
we will find many men of large
means becoming citizens of this town
and county, if the oil field proves
profitable. Nor will all their capital
be employed in the oil field. They
will find many other fields of specu-
lation in our undeveloped resources.
If the people of this town desire
to reap some of these benefits they
will not become crazy about the
price of property and drive away
those who desire to locate here.
Town lots have always been held
at q valuation so high that it has
retarded the growth of the town.
And now that the many vacant lots
within the borough may come in de-
mand they ought to be offered at a
fair price, or otherwise it will cause
newcomers to buy ON the suburbs
and thus eventually diminish rather
than enhance the price of lots in the
central portions of the town.
There are number of good build
ing lots occupied by stables, and 9th
ers used as truck patches, and still
others that are grown up with weeds,
and are of no benefit to ANYBODY.
but rather an expense to the owners
and drawback to the town. These
ought to be put In the market.
We ought to get rid of the notion
that every man ought to have
small farm about him in the town.
The most expensive garden a man
can have is that on building lot
which is worth five, six or eight
hundred dollars. If he would put
this garden into money and the
money at interest, he would have
thirty, forty or fifty dollars annually
with which to buy his vegetables
without the work and trouble of
raising them. Twenty dollars will
pay for all the vegetables an ordina-
ry family will eat in year. There
is hardly a good building lot in
town large enough for a garden, that
will not bring $780, The interest
on this would be nearly $50 year.
A man would thus save $25 a year
after paying for his vegetables, by
selling his garden, beside saving the
time and labor expended.in cultivat-
ing it.
We hope that property holders
will have a little generosity and
business policy in this matter when
approached, as they likely will be,
by those who want to buy and settle
among lis. 1t is true that there are
some people who will have to die be-
fore the town can advance in some
directions, but we hope the majority
of our lot holders will give the new
corners chance
