MILKING THE CLERKS.

The circular letter of assessment sent
by the Republican Committee Of Penn
syNania TO clerks in the Departments
at Washington is only one Of a series.
The Ohio assessment, made apparently
with the consent of Secretary FOSTER,
became public last week. Probably the
Republican committee of every State in
which an election takes place in No
vember has out its circulars assessing
the clerks at Washington for their con-
tributions in aid of 1.-THE party that put
them in office"
This plundering of clerks for politi-
cal purposes is one Of the most offensive
incidents Of the restoration Of the spells
system under the present administra-
ton. 1t is a species Of blackmail the
more contemplate because Of the help
lessness Of those on whom 1t is levied
and the arrogance Of the party brigandS
who exact it. 1t was one of the first of
the fruits Of the Spoils system which
President CLEVELAND crushed out; aDd
he did it thoroughly, only to see it re-
vived by his successor in Office. With
such protection as this practice re-
ceives at the hands Of the HARRISON
administration, it is a mockery to say
that the law offers protection to any
clerk who may refuse to stand and de-
liver. The act Of 1SS3, indeed, provides
that
No officer or employee of the United
States mentioned in this act shall dis
charge or promote or degrade or in any
manner change the Official rank or COM
pensation of any other officer or employee,
or promise or threaten so 10 DO, for giving
or withholding or neglecting TO make any
contribution Of mOney or other valuable
thing for any political purpose.
But this declaration amounts to moth
ing, and the poor clerk sees the law
systematically violated with the APP
prevail Of the superlors who hold his
place and his living In their hands.
The most astounding and barefaced
part of the business is the open APP
prevail Of the unlawful system by the
piouS Postmaster General, who acknowl-
edges its prOpriety, according to his
views Of what is proper in the civil ser
vice, and offers to relieve the indiyid-
uals By paying the assessments out OF
his own pocket
1t is almost incredible that the demon
alzation Of the service can have reached
this point in the short time that has
elapsed since President CLEVELAND re-
tired and President HARRIsoN came in.

ABSURD DEMAeoGY.

For tin utensils people now are not pay

Democratic free trade umes.-CmeinR0tf
Comulcrcidl-GdSctte,
Here is simon-pure demagogy. Since
the first tin utensil was made the price
Of tinware has been steadily declining,
until MCKINLEY added SI.2O to the cost
Of every hundred pounds Of tin-plate,
or about sI5.OOO,OOO a year to the
cost OF our total consumption.
This decrease has not been brought
about by protection in the United States
as our demagOglc contemporary would
have It's readers infer. 1t has not been
brought about by the establishment Of
the industry In this country, aud by
competition-the promise always held
out by the high tariff men, and never
fnlfued-for there never has been tin
plate factory here TO protect. Prior to
the passage Of the Mckinley bill the
most unreasonable Republican never
claimed the existence Of a tin-plate mill
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1891-10-05

In the United States, and not an ounce
Of American tin-plate has ever been
placed on the market.
We are indebted for the decline in the
price of our tinware to nothing but i'm
proved machinery and the consequent
lessened cost of production in Wales.
1t is the same with every article which
the high tariffites claim has been cheap
ened by protection. The price in every
case has declined to a greater extent
abroad than it has in the United States,
else there would be no reason on earth
for protection high or low.

TEE NAVAL APpRoPRIArIoNs.

1t will take an appropriation OF about
$4,000, 900 for the year 1898 to continue
the construction of vessels for the new
navy already begun or authorized.
Secretary TRAcY's estimates will not
include anything for further ships; and,
indeed, in the present condition Of the
Treasury it would be decidedly unwise
to appropriate any larger sum than that
named. More could be spent to advan-
tage, but the administration prefers to
waste the public money on the Wash
ington pension sharks, fraudulent pen
sions and the like, and tits an old adage
that you cannot have your cake and
eat it.
The plea which Secretary TRACY will
make for a,number Of fast torpedo-boats
and light-draught cruisers, however,
ought to receive due consideration. AS
to the value Of the former, except in a
very limited way, there is much differ
ence of opinion; certainly the results so
far have not been in keeping with the
promises Of their advocates. But we
could well afford to add few more tor
pedo boats to our naval fleet as an aux
Hilary means Of coast defense. And the
light-draught cruisers, which are both
efficient and economical, are urgently
needed at this very moment in Chinese
waters, where larger vessels are under
some conditions practically helpless.

THAr a1oo. coo PAYMENr.


THE Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway
Company publishes an important
card in this mornings REGISTER
which will be read with considerable
astonishment. 1t explains its position
in plain terms upon the payment of the
500. 600 by the county to the Wheeling
Bridge and Terminal Co.
One Of its objections to the payment OF
the money is in substance that the w.
B. & T. Co. would not have been entitled
to the money if the W. & L. E. Co. had
not built the road and made the con-
nection with the Terminal Co.'S tracks.
Well now, is not that rather lame
argument? Certainly the Wheeling and
Lake Erie Company did not want the
Terminal Company to build rival road
parallel to and within a stones throw
Of 1t, all the way to BOwerston. To
the average mind it would seem that
the Wheeling and Lake Erie ought to
have been very happy that no such
railway was to be built. In fact, both
sides ought to feel thankful, for there
is hardly enough business for one, let
alone two roads.
So far as the terminal connections are
concerned we know nothing about
them, but think it a small matter which
either or both companies could have
settled when it became necessary.
As to the two dollar per car agree
ment TO which the Lake Erie folks
refer, that is a matter which does not
enter into the payment of this 100000.
II such an agreement exists, Of course
the courts will protect the Erie people,
and from their fighting qualities as
illustrated in their opposition to the
county paying the money to the Termi-
nal company, they are not likely to let
any one impose upon them.
The REGISTER, and all this commu-
nifty, want TO see the w. & L. E. Co.
do business in this city at the earliest
possible day, and it and every one
feel very kindly toward them, but
our people do not expect to help the
Lake Erie people to come into this city
over the corpse of the Terminal Com
panv, in which this county has 100000
OF stock.
Every day the Lake Erie Company
keeps the Terminal Company out of its
money it does the city Of Wheeling chat
much harm. That 500, 900 is needed to-
day to help finish the improvements I'm
der way by the Terminal Company in
the corporate limits of the city, in or
der that it may do some business.
There is one good feature about the
publication Of this card The Wheel
ing and Lake Erie Company has shown
its hand. The Wheeling public knows
now who is behind all the opposition to
the payment Of this money.

was hoped that Mr.. LODGE, who has

that, after Boosting of his readiness to
meet Gov. RUSSELL 'on any question, "
he refuses to defend the party on the

minious.
The effect of Mr. LoDGE's course in

had managed to sink himself out Of

People may even come to believe that

But poor ALLEN has not the ability,
though he may have the pluck. LODGE
