HIGHER PRICES FOR CARPETS.

HlUAEU IhlCES rOh CAhTE1S.
Ii the Senate tariff bill should become
law US il stands the people will have to pay
mere ivr all the carpets they buy, and the
lower the grade Of the carpet the greater the
advance in price. The workingman will be
compelled 10 increase his expenses for cheap
carpets, or wear the old carpets into holes
aud then go Tor while with bare floors.
Under the pretense that carpet woods are
used 10 some extent in the manufacture of
the coarser kindsof clothing large increase
has been made in the duties on that class OF
wools Carpet woods are not produced in
this country and therefore rs such do not
compete with American wools The duty
on this class Is purely revenue and the only
excuse for calling it protective lies in the
alleged use of q small part OF the importa
ton To mix with better American woods in
the manufacture OF coarse cloths
The effect Of the Increase is already SEEN
in tho declaration Of leading manufacturer
that their industry will be ruined if the law
goes into effect. They now have To com
pete under great disadvantages with foreign
carpet manufacturers who have the benefit
Of Tree wool, They have been urging the
Importance of making carpet woods free and
claiming that, ii this were done, they would
be able to buy more American woods to mix
with the cheap imported qualities and make
higher grade carpets than they are now able
to do Instead OF this they will have to pay
more for the common woods and must either
charge much higher price for American
carpets or go out OF business altogether and
leave the home market to the foreign manu-.
facturer. 1t is true that a small increase
has been made in the duty on foreign car.
pets, but not enough to equalize the in
creased cost OF the raw material.
The effect on the consumer is unequvocal.

KRUPP SHOULD COME.

The report that Krupp, the great cannon
manufacturer of Essen, in Germany, con-
templates the location of an establishment
for the manufacture of steel, and especially
of steel cannon, in this vicinity, and that
agents have secured options for the land
where he may build duplicate of the great
German concern Is one of the interesting
fragments of industrial gossip published
yesterday. 1t comes under the head OF i'm
portant, if true; but its demands upon the
public faith, before the report can be taken
down whole, are in full proportion to its i'm
portance.
OF course it hardly need be said that Pitts
burg will welcome a second Krupp estab-
lishment to this vicinity. 1t is an old
ambition of Pittsburg's to make the biggest
cannon in the world. In the days of fifteen
and twenty inch Dahlgreen guns, that ambi-
ton was satisfied. In the present time
when Europe has gone ahead of this country
in the arts of war, our city has never felt
that the cup of her prosperity was quite
full until she had an establishment here to
make big guns for the whole world. Ii Herr
Krupp wishes to come to Western Pennsyl-
vanis and turn out the champion rihed can
non of the world, free from the fear of
European complications, we will be glad to
make the way smooth for him.
Whether the report is true or not it is per-
tinent to assure Herr Krupp that he cannot
do better than verify it. There are un-
bounded possibilities in the way of making
steel here, and when we get the Ohio and
Lake Erie ship canal built be can make pig
metal and steel here cheaper than anywhere
else in the world. There may be a certain
degree of Imagination in the report, as it
now stands; but if it is left to The Dis
PATCH to settle it, the KruPp concern will
begin moving right away.

THE PERIODICAL TROUBLE.

The car famine and freight blockade is re-
ported to be growing worse instead of better.
The coke industry is asserted to be unable
to obtain more than 500 cars against daily
need of /, 200. The coal shippers have lost
large share of their fall trade. through the
failure of the railroads to haul it to the
lakes. Furnaces are even reported to be
shut down on account of their inability to
get fuel, and shippers have to pile up their
products or stop operations because they
cannot obtain transportation.
1t is one of the singular features of the
railway system that alternates between
periods of inability to find enough business
to keep the lines in moderately brisk opera
ton, and, on the other hand, Of inability to
carry all the freight that is offered them.
While, of course. no one would charge that
this variation from apathy to congestion is
consciously brought about by railway
policy, it is nevertheless the fact that rail.
way methods in the purchase of rails and
supplies, have much to do with 1t. The rail-
ways for long periods conine their pur-
chases to minimum, and when iron and
steel mills have worked up trade with
ordinary consumers and thus established
fair movement of freights, they all jump in
and want nails, spikes, plates, bar iron and
cars at the same time. The consequence is
that business gets beyond their power to
handle and we have the paradox of such ac-
tivity as brings operations to standstill.
Certainly these periodical exhibitions of
inability to perform all the service that is
required demand a remedy. If the railroads
cannot give full and prompt service, the
least they can do is to permit companies to
undertake the business of furnishing rolling
stock to haul the surplus freight under free
competition on payment of tolls for the use
of the tracks. If the railroads should do
that, and in addition place their orders for
material in times of slackness rather than
of activity, the car famines might be
avoided and greater steadiness impaired
both to general business and the movement
of freights.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG. SATURDAY. OCT. Is, 1889.
THE ADVANCE IN PETROLEUM.

The advance in the price of crude petro-
leum yesterday, to the vicinity of S1.07 per
barrel, marks the force of the movement
which has been going on for some time past
in the reduction OF the surplus stocks and
the steady increase of demand. A special
telegram from Oil City gives the views of
an enthusiastically bullish producer; and
while his statements may be highly colored,
they are doubtless well founded to the ex-
tent that the demand for high-clsss oil is
rapidly nearing point where at the dollar
level or below, it will be in excess of the
supply. Inferior oils will no doubt be in
abundant supply from the Ohio and foreign
fields, but for 9 frst-class illuminant the
Pennsylvania region remains without CON-
petitor, at fair prices.
This confirms the opinion which The
DISPATCH has always held that the Penn
sylvania field could afford to stand on its
own merits; and it also suggests another i'm
portant point. The advance, it is pointed
out, is founded on mmercial conditions,
namely, increased demand and decreased
production. This shows that the advance
would have taken place without the shut
down movement. There is no dispute that
the shutting in of producing wells repre-
sented an actual loss of production to the
region. Every hundred thousand barrels so
lost would, If in the tanks, now have added
s1OO, 900 to the wealth of the producers.
Has there been any such compensation
for this loss as made it worth while for the
producers to play the Standards game? A
little retrospect on this point might be in
structive,

THE WORLD NOT ENDED.

The world did not come to an end yester-
day. The Second Adventists, who were ex-
pecting that awful event in the soothing idea
that they had monopoly of the advance
notice, must have been sadly disappointed.
One would think that the Second Adventists
would have grown weary by this time of
prophesying the end of the world and of
preparing ascension robes, but they are as
persistent and patient as ever in looking for
the day which we are expressly told in holy
Writ shall come no man knoweth when.
They will rake up a new prophesy now that
the last one has proved worthless, and cheer
fully announce new running schedule for
this old planet.

Mr.. JAY GOULD, like President Roberts
and Mr.. Depew, has discovered by means of
his tour throughout the country, that it is in
a most prosperous and cheerful condition.
This concurrence of testimony on the part
of the great railway msgnates, together
with the reams of statistics recently pub
lished to show that stocks have got to go
up. makes it rather remarkable that stocks
obstinately go down. This would establish
a theory of the innate depravity of the stock
market which might not be wholly irrecon-
cilable with another theory that some one is
kindly unloading large amounts of stocks
to permit the public share of the future
nrosperitY.

THE SAMOAN WAR.

The last report of fight in the Samoan
islands indicates continuance of the long
standing fight between the forces of Malietoa
and Tsmssese. As Mslietos and Mataafs
had agreed to an election of chief, it is
permissible to conclude that Tamasese was
not willing to submit his pretensions to the
verdict of the majority. Whether this is
due TO German influence or not, it is hard to
say. 1t is certainly contrary to the spirit
of the Berlin agreement for German agents
to keep up the strife in order to prevent the
leadership of Mataafa; but 1t seems i'm
probable. on the other hand, that Tamasese,
whose native forces are small, would resort
to war except on encouragement from his
masters. 1t is evidently fight with which
civilized nations have nothing to do.
Christianity should be genuine enough 10
keep itself clear from savage warfare.

PROGRESS ON THE PosToFFIcE.

ANY doubt as to the old dispute whether
the world moves or not is set at rest by the
plans assigning rooms in the new Govern
ment building to the different United States
officials represented here. We have recently
had the familiar assurance about a new
cargo of stone having arrived and the elon-
cation of the derricks to hoist the stone to
its place withal; but the idea of locating
the Offices is somewhat new. Operations on
this building commenced in 1873, and after
the lapse of sixteen years the public is
granted the knowledge where the offices will
be. 1t is even permitted to hope that the
twentieth year after the purchase of the
ground will see the offices located in the
building. The world doeslmove; but some
portions Of it move very deliberately.

Thursday night, ought to devote his pro-
phetic vision and superb Imagination to the
enlightenment OF the Second Adventists.
Mr.. johnson acknowledges that he has ex-
elusive sources of information concerning
the future. For instance, he knows that
the world will be destroyed-totally and
without appeal-in 81 years from tonight.
This is not mere surmise or assertion. bus
like Mr.. Johnson's discovery, that it is the
thunder which kills and not the lightning,
the eresultof that gentleman's patient methods
Of investigation. 1t may be suggested by
the incredulous that more startling revela-
tions of things to come are to be obtained at
lunatic asylums any day. Perhaps there
may, but at present the supply of supernat-
ural science without the walls of Di1mont
is adequate to supply all demands. And
the world has been granted new lease OF
life,

THE appointment Of Judge. Gresham to
the Supreme Bench is warmly urged by the
New York Press. Such an appointment
would be decidedly creditable to the admin
istration, as selecting the man whose record
in both military and civil life is first-class
and whose itress for that important posi-
tion is undisputed. But it is tolerably clear
that If Gresham's appointment were posi-
BILE it would have been made some time ago.
There is also reason to believe that under
the ethics of the administration Judge
Gresham was ruled out Of any appointment
from the time that the public commenced to
talk of him as Presidential candidate.

The dispatch of Captain Wissman an
nouncing the approach of Sanley to the
East coast contained the further detail that
wissman had recently defeated body of
the insurgents and killed seventy of them.
This exhibits peculiarly European CLASH
fication of the untaught savages who rebel
against the seizure of the land by the ambi-
tious European Governments. The natives
were in rebellion against German authority,
and, therefore, they we're insurgents" just
like the war-like Soudanese were rebels in
the English phraseology. Missionaries in
Africa might do great deal of good by
converting the agents of the European
Governments to the principles of Christian
ity
