COMING HERE !!

Merwin McKaig, proprietor of the
McKaig Iron and Steel Skating Works,
one of the oldest established industries
of this city, is seriously contemplating
the removal of his plant from Cumber-
land to Martinsburg, w. Va, where he
has favorable offers which may induce
him to locate there.
For some time past Mr.. McKaig has
been considering the advisability of
charging his plant in this city, having
been contented with working the plant
to its limited capacity, while developing
the patents and improving machinery
which are destined to bring very large
trade to Mr.. McKaig, no matter where
he may locate.
The recent prospectus of the Martins
burg Mining, Manufacturing and I'm
provement Company made it apparent
that sufficient inducements would be
offered by the latter, in order to procure
the works for that city, which will lose
so much by the removal of the B. & o.
shops to this city. Correspondence
was opened and a committee from Mar
tinsburg visited Mr. McKaig, inspect
ed his plant and returned with favor
able impression
On Tuesday last Mr.. McKaig and Mr.
w. J. Muncaster, the superintendent of
the works, visited Martinsburg, and as
the result of their trip have secured an
offer of 5 acres of land along the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad at S., 600, and
will erect the buildings for the works,
costing about SIS, 900. The main build
ing will be 800 feet long This they
propose to donate to Mr.. McKaig if he
removes his plant to their city. The
site is spendid one, and so far it is
one of the best offers made. there being
several other places bidding for the
works.
The buildings in this city have be-
come too small for the increased de-
mands for shafting which has come in
volume of unsolicited trade sufficient
to work the force and machinery to the
fullest capacity. and then many orders
had to be declined. Now, since the
inventions have been perfected and
patented, improved and enlarged facili-
ties must come, and Mr.. McKaig hopes
to be able to realize his best hopes, by
putting up Works that will enable him
to carry in stock T 900 tons of shafting
at all times. This other class of pro-
ductions will require capital of $780,
600, and it is likely that stock COM
pany will be formed, plan being now
in embryo, which may be formulated
and endorsed by the Martinsburg par
ties.
At present no decision has been
reached, but unless Cumberland can
offer better advantages she is liable to
lose an important and growing indus
try, unless some effort is made to hold
the works here. 1t appears that Mar
tinsburg has the drop" on Cumber-
land so far, and she will probably make
up for aportion of the loss in population
that will be caused by the exodus other
people to this city with the removal of
the B. & o. shops.-Cum6e,7and Nsaos

BEALE- BLAINE

Miss Hattie Blaine, youngest and
prettiest daughter Of Secretary
Blaine, is said to be engaged to TruX-
ton Beale, of San Francisco. The
son-in-law elect is a son of the late
surveyor-general of California, a
friend and appointee of General
Grants.
The elder Beale saved his salary and
became thereby very wealthy. His
son has long been a man-about-town
in San Francisco and Washington, in
which latter place his father passed
his later years. The Beale home in
the city is the old-fashioned stuccO-
work house on the northwest corner
Of Jackson square, but the family has
long had a country home near the
Agricultural college on the Baltimore
and Ohio railway, where the summer
is passed amid large fields well stocked
with fine horses and cows. Young
Beale, like many rich mans son, has
passed some thirty-fiye years of this
life without any aim. His appoint.
ment as minister to Persia showed
forth a most laudable ambition tC
become great, and at once useful t.
his country.
1t is not unlikely that many dan
gers have been averted of which W.
shall never know; many interchange
of good wishes between Truxton ant
the Shah which would have been JOY
to any man to have hand, or at leas
three fingers in.
The State Department makes NJ
mistake in selecting men like TruxtoT
Beale to stand like sentinels on higi
hills, and give signals to avert danger

FORCING DOWN WAGES

1t is difficult to understand how any
wage Garner can oppose a protective
tariff. In the very nature of things
wages must be forced down by COM
petition, and the efforts being put
forth to have protection tempOriZe on
the inevitable should not only find
hearty response but active cooperation
among the laboring classes. Every
new mechanical invention reduces the
necessity of employing, and when in
ventiOns are multiplying so rapidly it
becomes a serious question how far
they will interfere with the wage
earners. The only possible solution
lies in establishing more varied indus
tries and increasing the number Of
employing institutions. Only by this
means can relief come to the wage
earners, and only by protecting new
industries can this be accomplished.
1t is so plainly of direct interest to the
laborcrs that no little surprise is felt
that they not see it.
Another cause for reduction Of
wages is female labor. Whenever a
woman obtains a position formerly
held by a man, we have one man
thrown out of employment. The
woman question is forcing itself to
the fore and the women are occupying
new positions constantly. They are
reaching out and that has hitherto
been unattainable to them is now
within their grasp. There is no rea-
son to suppose that this revolution re-
garding the employment of female
help is going backwards, and thou
sands of men will be thrown out of
employment to give place to women.
Again comes the beneficient features
Of protection offering the only means
for securing relief. BY establishing
more factories and workshops there
will be room for all. 1t must be borne
in mind that the advent of women
means an added force Of competitors
to the young men growing up and
foreigners coming to this country.
Here are two forces that operate pow
erfully to bring wages down, aside
from the regular causes, and the wage
earners cannot adhere too strongly to
the only means Of relief-a protective
| tariff,

COMMERCE AND SISTERS

When we said recently that the con-
nection made between this town and
the Canadian Pacific at Sumas was an
event of great importance to us,
quietly as it was done and unimport-
ant as it seemed; we far understated
it. Day by day it is showing for itself
that it has turned towards Belling-
ham Bay the eyes of the world. What
we want now is to study the tariff
laws and shipping laws, and see if they
help us as much as they ought to, or if
there is anything in them that in any
way binders the growth of our com
merce. Let our senators attend
While protection builds up manufact-
ures, there is a wholesome and UNI
wholesome degree of it. Commerce
builds cities and employs railways
after they are built and no tariff
should cripple commerce. Agriculture
also is interested equally with com
merce and manufactures. Daniel
Webster says Of them, "they flourish
together and they languish together -
1t is on commerce, in large volume,
that Fairhaven must rely for rapid
advance and permanent rank to the
fore. Other things may help, as
"every little helps" even in great
seaport, and even in the sea itself, as
has been said Of old, but when ships

COMMON SENSE ABOUT MONEY

The use Of gold as money has tended
confirm an error as to what money is
in reality. Money being so eagerly
coveted the childish or ignorant natur-
ally conceive Of the pieces used for
money signs as being in reality valu-
able. Even wise men who used to
sneer at free labor and freedom of con-
science, now sneer at money that has
no value and talk about intrinsic
value. Such man, making a speech
not long ago, and as usual with some
orators, letting his tongue run off
with whatever brain he has, said 81
want no money that can't salt
down." and his audience thereat ap-
plauded thunderously. A little thought
would have shown them that the mo-
ment any money is boarded, it is no
longer money, being so only while in
the act of circulating Or, to speak
with strict accuracy, the things we
call money are not money, any more
than our deeds are our titles to land,
being merely representatives or evil
dences Of the unseen titles or money.
It is the invisible, the incorporeal,
that is ever the most powerful and
important. There is no such a thing
as real value aside from our idea or
opinion. AS Shakespeare, that SUI
preme and universal being, says:
"Naught is worth save as It's valued
No one able even to add two to two
can deny this assertion, namely: thai
the most precious things, such as dia-
monds or gold, would become worth
less just as soon as everybody despised
them. Just destroy our ideal of gold
and no one would ever pick it up save
children and fools, because of its
bright sparkle. Here is another state.
ment we all know is true, namely
that some things deemed for long
ages utterly worthless and contempt.
BILE come to be regarded as most prec.
ious. And this mark applies not only
to material things, but to ideals
SO value is a thing Of opin.
ion. Savages have few wants
because they have few ideals
And just as mankind advance onward
and upward they will come to despist

SEND THIS TO YOUR FRIENDS

For many years Colorado people
have urged Eastern people to visit
that state in summertime and enjoy
grand scenery and cool nights-and
the poorest Of hotel fare. But her
nights, which are truly delightful, are
linked with days which blister, with a
dry and feverish heat which makes
one about as uncomfortable as he can
be. This is true of their plains east
ward of the mountains, of their
Manitous, Idahos, and of every resort
in the state.
How different it is with regard to
Washington. Instead Of one dull, fat
country to reach US, instead of one
road, there are six routes all differing
from one another, and any one of
them worth making a special trip
upon. How different, too, when one
is here. The days are delightful, as
well as the nights. The variety:
rivers of clear, cold water; lakes
set in the deep woods, springs, for
ests, islands - some very gems
of beauty. Here is fishing,
here boating, here are excursions
every day, by grand steamers, by
smaller ones, by yacht and small boats
of oar or sail. We have the everlast.
