ing member Of the Ways and Means
Committee, has introduced bill re-
ducing the rates Of duty Oh certain
kinds of iron and steel, including
armor plate. The reduction propos-
ed is from so to so per cent
1t is evident from what has been
brought to light by the investigation
at Homestead that the bill is fair
and that the reductions ought to be
made. The Carnegie Company makes
it's own secondary raw material in
the form of billets and is trying to
cheaper it by reducing wages.
The duty on the articles mention
ed in Mr.. Writings bill ranges
from one and eight tenth cents a
pound to two and a half cents. I'm
der the Morrill, tariff it was from one
cent to one and half cents pound.
The Pennsylvania iron and steel in
dustry has always been amply pro
tected.
During the recent Congressional
investigation at Homestead Mr..
Prick declined over and over again
to give the labor cost of producing a
ton of steel billets. He announced
that that was his private business. A
workingman thought that it was
about 5000. If he was right the
present protection of billets about
covers the whole wages account for
this article of the Carnegie mills.
But according to Mr.. Carroll d.
Wright the cost of manufacturing
iron and steel in this country is
about what it is in England but pro-
lection keep up the price SO that
American consumers pay from $780,
100000 to $60,000,000 a year more
than they would be obliged to pay at
English prices 1t other words, the
American steel makers receive a
bonus of between $50,0O0,000 and
$50, 100000 year above what the
English masters regard as fail
profit.
Mr.. Wright's conclusions are sus-
tanned by Mr.. Tricks own admission
that American steel is exported,
while Mr.. Bynum asserted that an
American manufacturer is exporting
steel and competing in the markets
of the world.
Under these circumstances Mr.
Writings bill is moderate and just
The Carnegie steel works are sharers
in this immense bounty which the
American people pay for the enrich.
mant of the steel makers. He and
they pretended to obtain the tax fol-
the benefit of their laborers. They
really obtained it to divide the
plumber between themselves and
the Republican party which they
keep in power They do not give
their workingmen any part of the
bounty. On the contrary they are
trying TO reduce wages in order to
squeeze more out of their victims.
1t is high time that the bounty
should be reduced, and Mr.. Whit
ing's bill is very moderate attack
on the law passed and maintained in
plutocratic interests.-N. Y. World

Charleston Woman.
A Bottle That Contained A Story An

On June 4th, Mrs. Lucy Matheney,
wife of Lon Matheney. well-known
carpenter Of Poca, left her home, it
was supposed to visit her father, c..

county. She arrived in this city on
the X. Il NJ. train, due here at 10
O'Clock, and crossed the Kanawha
river bridge for a brief visit to her
cousin, William r. Forbes, on the
South Side She left his house to
take the IF. f. w." going east on
the c. d o. due at 1870 a. m, for
Montgomery. Since that time
nothing has been heard from her,
except that on June "a, an ordinary
pint flask bottle was found floating
in the Ohio river opposite New Rich
mond, o., by Clarence Davis, well
known among the river men here,
but who is now ON the ferry steamer
"New Richmond at that place.
He noticed that the bottle contained
note and fished it out of the water.
1t was corked so tightly that he was
obliged to break 1t to get at its con
tents which consisted of leaf from
an ordinary pocket note book upon
which was written the following:

the bridge, but as he saw no one on

She was married s years ago, and
it is said that her domestic relations

might have been and that she had O
slight difficulty with her husband

PITTYPAT AND TIPPYToE.
BY EuGESE FIELD.

BY EuGESE FIELD.
All day long they come and go
Pittypst and Tippytoe;
Footprints up and down the hall.
Playthings scattered on the floor,
Finger marks along the wall,
Tell-tale streaks upon the door
BY these presents you shall know
Pittypat and Tippytoe.
How they riot at their play
And. a dozen times day,
In they troop, demanding bread
Only buttered bread will do,
And that butter must be spread
Inches thick, with sugar too
Never yet have 1 said: mo.
Pittypat and Tippytoe !"
Sometimes there are griefs to soothe-
Sometimes ruffied brows to smoothe;
For-I much regret to say
Tippytoe and Pittypat
Sometimes interrupt their play
With an internecine spat;
Fie oh. fie to quarrel so,
Pittypat and Tippytoe
Oh, the thousand worrying things
Every day recurrent brings!
Hands to scrub and hair 70 brush
Search for playthings gone amiss,
Many a murmuring to hush.
Many little bump to kiss;
Life's indeed fieeting show,
Pittypat and Tippytoei
And, when day is at an end,
There are little duds to mend;
Little frocks are strangely torn,
Little shoes great holes reveal.
Little hose, but one day worn,
Rudely yawn at toe and heel!
Who but you could work such woe,
Pittypat and Tippytoe?
But Then comes this thought to me:
Some there are that childless be"
Stealing to their little beds,
With a love cannot speak,
Tenderly l stroke their heads,
Fondly kiss each velvet cheek.
God help those who do not know
A Pittypat or Tippytoe
On the floor, along the hall,
Rudely traced upon the wall
There are proofs in every kind
OF the havoc they have wrought,
And upon my heart you'd find
Just such trademarks, ifyou sought.
