Brockunier made a strong point on the
differentiation OF imported glassware,
and reminded the Commission that
"some OF tho French manufacturers
made q special list Of prices to meet
American competition, and sold their
goods for tho American trade at q lower
price than they did goods taken to any
other country" He told also how the
growth OF the American glass industry
had reduced prices to the American con
sumer.
MI. Brockunier and his fellow manu-.
iacturers OF glassware did not get the 60
per cent duty they asked for. The duty
was advanced TO IS por cent. Now, by
the new law, they get Just what Mr..
Brockunier wanted. The increase will
help d Wheeling industry. It will help
every farmer who raises anything con.
sumed by the workers in that industry.
Do you think, esteemed Register, that

much too high, and why?

A PURE WATER SUPPLY.

|
4 Cheap and Abundant Volume OF Fine
Water Accessible.
70 he Editor Of he iEtshigencer:
siR:-As the citizens OF Wheeling are
exercised about tho water supply, 1t will
be well to cast about for some plan
whereby water can be obtained In large
quantity and OF a purer quality than we
have been used to. II the new reser.
yoir Is to have the mud pumped up into
Il in the same manner AZ 1t rs In the Old
one, OF course the supply will not be any
better or putcr; only n larger quantity
OF filth will DO distributed through the
city. What We want Is pure rdttr to
pump into the basin, and now That we
have a good-and 1t Is u better one than
the average citizen knows about, while
the cost OF 1t la. been comparatively
small, considering the substantial man.
ner In which II Is built-it Is important
that tho Water Board should endeavor
to get pure water to put into 1t. II the
supply Is taken from the Sisters Islands
or any place between here and there, or
farther up, there will DO jus. as much
impuiity, and perhaps more, than there
Ia where the water goes into the pipes
now. Then the expense OF piping water
SO far would be practically Impossible,
considering the financial resources OF the
| Water Board.
What, then, shall be done? The rem.
edy is no. far away. A few years ago n
hole was excavated on tho Island bar
about fifteen feet deep, and walled up
with brick, covered over and abandoned
for some reason, not now known to any
person, and II has amounted 10 nothing
more than IN experiment. 1t has proved
10 be q successful experiment., for the
water contained in 1t is absolutely pure
according TO IN analysis that was made
some time ago. 1t is soft, and has no or
eanic matter in it at all, or II at all, 1t Ii
In such a small quantity that 1t cannot
be detected. The wateris perfectly cleal
and very cold. Now, what could posi-
bly, be better than 10 utilize that ides
and excavatc q basin, cay five hundred
feet long, twenty feet wide and ten fec'
deep, arched over with brick or stone
below the bed Of the river?
There is no other way that can be
thought OF that will give the city 4 sup
ply OF clear, cold, pure water, at a very
small cost compared with the impossible
and foolish idea OF pumping muddy
water from three or four miles away. i
has been shown repeatedly by excava
tons on the river shore at various
places that the bed OF the river Is an en-
iirely distinct stratum, hence there is NJ
possible danger OF tho water being CON
taminated by secpines either from the
Island or main shore. The Ohio river
is not fed entirely by water from the
clouds, but by numerous springs coming
up through the sand aud gravel, and it
has been shown time alter time in var.
ious parts OF the country that watercom.
ing up through the sand to the surface
Of the bed OF the river is not affected by
any condition thst may be on the shore,
either near or remote. We have q posi-
tive demonstration OF that fact right be.
fore our eyes out on tho Island bar,
opinions OF certain NJ. DIS and would-be
scientists to the contrary noiTithstand'

SB. Needles, thanksgiving and dasnins. Free.
Under the old law there was a duty Of
% per cent on these needles. Now
there is no duty OF them.
Do YOU sec in this any reason for an
"advancein oil kinds OF needles SO per
cent?"
Don't you think, now, that any poor
people who could "a1ord 10 sew and
knit" under the old law can ''afford to
sew and knit" under the new law? And
do you still insist that "this is the way
the Mckinley bill discourages the uae Of
knitting and sewing?"
What do YOU think your readers will
think Of you if you don't make haste to
tell them that you hadn't read the new
tariff act, and 30 became the easy dupo
Of somebody who took pleasure in hav.
ing iuu with you? The other horn Of
the dilemma is to admit frankly that
your fancy goods storo proprietor is a
myth, and that you were trying 10 de-
ceiye.
