Now here we have the Intslligepcer,
with an the temeritY of inexperienced
youth stating that the rate Of wages is
solely a question Of the tariff, and right
along side Of it the statement Of Mr. A..
w. CAMPBELL, an old and experienced
editor of the IptsJIgmcer, discussing
the difference between the living and
wages Of labor in the United States and
Germany, stating that it is matter Of
population alone, In other words, that
that wages are controlled, as every
workingman knows, by nothing but the
law Of supply and demand.
If the tariff is responsible for high
wages in the United States it must be
responsible for low wages in Germany,
which has as high a protective tariff as
the United States, and, also, free trade
must according TO Iptclligencer logic, be
responsible for the fact that England
pays the highest wages in Europe.
The mtelliJencer should suppress Mr..
CAMPBELL, because he is always giving
IL away.

This sounds well from a Republican
standpoint, but it is misleading and
false. Leaving out the permanent ap-
preparations which the extravaganza
Billion Dollar Congress made it neces-
sary for the present Congress TO meet,
the totals are: Billion Dollar Congress
first session, S264, 654, 655; present Con-
cress, S920, 195, $50, showing a balance
of $50, 45s, $50 in favor of the Democratic
Congress, and had not REED, MCKINLEY
81 Co. made the sugar bounty perma-
uent appropriation, the balance in favor
of the Democrats would be over Sij,-
100000. It was not until the second
session of the Billion Dollar Congress
that it broke loose and emptied the
Treasury. The Democrats are happy
in comparing records.
THE Republican speakers who are
about asserting that the Mckinley act
has reduced the price Of manufactured
articles on which the duties are in
creased appear to forget that the people
recolIoct the lobby work of the specially
favored interests whereby the duties
were advanced. The pretense that
these men thus lobbed for the purpose
OF bringing about a reduction Of the
prices Of their products is a story
worthy of being told TO the marines.
Sons time ago the Republicans of West
Virginia were giibly talking Of defeating
the reelection of Congressman W. l.. VII
son: but they have practically abandoned
the lob. Mr. Wilson is an honor to West
Virginia and the Democratic party.-Bg-
tJi1 Courier.
That is precisely what Mr.. WILSON is.
il is only straw man the Republicans
have put up against him. This is not q
reflection on Mr. WIsNEE, who has
plenty Of common sense and knows that
he has no chance of election.
The cashier Of the New York Sub
Treasury, who received the $50, 100000
gold shipment from California, says he
has plenty of room to store it-has
room, in fact, for a hundred millions.
Oh. there is room enough! REED, Nc
ENLEY 81 Co. took care Of that.
Where Uncle Sans dollars used to be
there is now nothing but room.
SAEoNY says Mrs. CLEVELAND is a
handsomer woman now than she was
when she was first married. 1t is hard
% see how that can be.

Pertinent Inquiry.

Slw-Thc MtcU1meT publishes a
card this morning from young Cornwel
of Rouney, who announces that he In
tends % leave the Democratic party.
Vow. since CornweN is not Of age and
has never cast q vote for Democrat l
really don't see how he can leave the
party Of his ancestors. The announce
ment must give the Republicans great
hope and yet 10 is nothing more than
happens at every election. Why, since
