short.Tern, orders.

It may be that Mr.. Whitworth's shcrs-
term order differs essentially from the
short.term orders we have been hearing
about. OF this the ISrELtlaENCRR has
no means Of judging. The difference
between honest and dishonest manage
ment may be assumed until the con-
trary be proved or strongly suggested.
There can be no great difference in
the operating principle in SO far as
these orders are based on the idea aud
thcpromlsc Of giving much for little.
The tactithat corporation holds a
West Virginia charter raises no pre-
sumption in it's favor, for it lie easy
enough to get a West Virginia charter,
and this State does not concern itself
with its corporate creatures to run
them down and determine whether
theyareworthy of thepublic confidence.
Its to be supposed that Mr., Whit
worth has heard of tho highly disap-
pointing short-torm orders that have
operated in other fields. While we are
on the subject, what is the determined
cost to get twenty-five dollars in three
months, and what is 1t represented to
be?

One OF tho ecccntricities Of the tariff
before the Mckinley law came along
was that steel plate was dptiable at
from Ito i rs cents per pound, while
tin plate camein at one cent per pound.
The thinning OF the plate represents
labor, and SO, under the present law, a
duty is laid on that foreign labor, as it
should be,
Tin plate will no longer be imported
to take the place OF sheet steel because
OF thellower duty. Sheet steel as well
as tin plate will be made in this country
in large quantities, and American labor
will profit thereby. We are going to
have an industrial Fourth of July in
this great country.
