Since the Journals settlement
Of the tariff question" has advanced
wool two or three cents pound we
would direct its attention to the
failure of the Philadelphia Alma
Manufacturing Company, which
was engaged in manufacturing wool
en- goods. An exchange in speak
ing of the failure, says:
The most Interesting point connected with the
failure Is that Mr.. Almy and his partners have
been high-tariff Republicans and We're very ear
nest In their declaration before election that II
Harrison was elected everything would be love
ly with the manufacturers of Pennsylvania. The
failure of the company following similar fail
ures, and worry material reductions In the opera
tons of wooden mills in this city since the inau-
guration of President Harrison has had a very
demoralizing effect upon the spirits of high-tar-
IN Republicans.
a leading merchant speaking OF the Almy
failure to-day said that many other failures
would follow in few years unless the tariff was
materially changed and particularly as regards
wool, and IL Is generally admitted In the trade
to-day that II the tariff bin which was before the
last Congress admitting wool free had passed
the Almy company would not have failed and
other mills which are now running on half time
without profit would be running full time
So it would seem that the ''settle-
ment of the tariff question" settled
the Almy company. Mr.. Amy and
his partners are not the only ones
who mande earnest declarations of
what high tariff was going to do
for the workingmen. In Preston we
were treated to large doses of this
claptrap of protecting American
labor and Protection will fill the
dinner bucket. We have good
many dinner buckets in Preston
sorely in need of filing just at this
time, and the prospects are anything
but encouraging; still wool has
advanced two or three cents by the
settlement of the tariff question.
This is consoling to the laboringman
who is out hunting job of work,
and his co-laborer who has been cut
down ten or fifteen cents on the dav.
and this the result of the settlement
of the tariff question. How do you

ALL WOOL AND NO PAY.

The Morgantown Dominion, as well as other
Democratic papers in the state, take great de.
light In misrepresontiDg matters The Domin-
ION says
The price Of wool throughout the state this
spring Ia two to eight cents n pound lower than
II was last spring. Charge 1t TO free trade and
Democratic success
This shows the fact that the editors who pub
lish such items are either not well posted or do
so simply TO rnislead their readers In this
country our farmers realize from five TO six cents
more on the pound for wool this year than last.
--[RitchIe Review.
That's more than they realize in
Preston, but for the sake of argu-
ment we will admit that wool is all
right. Now would it be asking too
much of Brother Sigler to point out
the advance in wages and good times
with an accompaniment of plenty of
work, all of which was promised
under Harrison and Protection. We
don't know what the Republican
editors would do were it not for the
slight advance in wool, which is of
no benefit to the laboringman. 1t
is all wool and no pay with HIM.

not hard to conjecture how Irondale

GRIEvING OVER sPILLED MILK.

We forgot 20 state that Elsey says, Don't mix
politics with school matters" lie seems 20 have
forgotten that, when tho hoard Of examiners
were TO be elected. No, no, brother Elsey don't
let politics enter into school work. [Masontown
Correspondent Journal.
This is somewhat of fifteen block
puzzle. No one but the Journal
and its correspondent will ever be
able to understand what he means.
If he means to say that Mr.. Elsey
wanted to have Democrats appointed
on the board of examiners he has
been misinformed or knowingly tells
that which is not so. Mr.. Elsey
asked Mr.. Squires to appoint Mr..
Freeland, Republican, but Mr..
Squires declined. He named Mr..
Sutton, Republican, so the ARGUS
understands, and he refused to ap-
point him. The fact is Mr.. Squires
is the man who mixed politics with
school matters, and the result was
that he got so thoroughly mixed in
the soup that he has been founder
ing in it ever since. We venture
to say that there was a tacit, if not
an explicit understanding between
Mr.. Squires and the gentlemen he
appointed before the election, and
as a matter of course he had to APP
point them. 1t will confront him
when he bobs up for Office again.
