labor cost of the plates used here would
give employment to only 5000
men at $500 year, whereas the can
ming establishments in one Maryland
county employ four times this amount OF
labor at better wages and expend an
equal amount for farm products.
Wages paid Welsh tinplate makers are
no lower than those paid American
workmen. Eight of the largest can
ming establishments paid out nearly
S43, 600 less in wages during the first
quarter Of 1892 than during the similar
period of 1891 as result Of the in
creased price Of tinplate, the small
packers who buy their cans ready
made being especial sufferers. The
National Canned Goods Association esti-
Inmates that an increase of one cent per
can curtais consumption % per cent,
affecting over 100000 people as pro-
prietors, growers, producers and labor
ers. Another effect of the tinplate
duty was falling off in the amount OF
canned goods exported from the United
States. To sum up, the Mckinley tin
plate tariff has, after years trial re-
duced wages and Increased prices.
These are cold facts and figures.

ages Of the two Presidents on the sub
ject and their ways of meeting the tissue.
There was ample reason to believe that
early next mouth the Canadian govern
ment would stop its system Of refunds
in the Welland Canal and restore equal
ity Of treatment TO all vessels passing
through that canal. This is not specu-
latlon or after-thought upon the mes
sage. It is the opinion Of no less q per-
sonage than the Secretary Of the Treas
ury himself, who is the officer Of the
Government to execute the prOclama-
ton. In an unguarded moment Mr..
FOSTER betrays in the New York Com
merclol Bulletin the conduct of the
President Its Washington correspond
ent says;
Secretary FOSTER, who has been absent
on a visit 70 Ohio, returned to Washington
last night and was at his desk in the
Treasury Department. Secretary FOSTER
said the news of the issuance Of the Pres
ident's Canadian r5taliaJOry proclamation
came TO him as a surprise on Saturday, for
the reason that he thought when he left
Washington, three weeks ago, that Canada
would conclude 10 discontinue the exaction
Of discriminating tolls on Welland canal
freight, and thus Obviate the necessity for
the issuance Of the retaliatory proclama-
ton.
The president, in other words, hurried
lY issued his proclamation in the secre-
tary's absence IN the belief that Canada
next mooth would repeal its rebates,
and that he could point to that repeal
as a triumph Of his aggressive Amer
lean policy" II is a cheap trick, quite

1t is bad policy. as well as very fool
ish, to climb hill before you get TO it,
but it is excellent policy to get your
climbing shoes In condition as soon as
the hill appears.
The cholera may not reach this coun-
try, aud yet IL may be in our midst TO-
morrow, and Asiatic cholera, by the
way, is terrible and deadly visitor.
Hence, it behooves the health au-
thorlties Of Wheeling to wake up and
70 stay awake-wide awake. The city
should be cleaned up in any event
cholera, or no cholera.
II the health authorities do their
duty aud the citizens, generally, aid

the odds will be in favor Of no cholera.

Trying to Stir Up Strife.

NEW YORK, August ga Buffalo,
n. Y, special to the World says: There
is considerable excitement among the
followers Of Lieutenant Governor Shee.
han In Erie county over a circular
which had been sent out broadcast. IL
claims that tho situation In the State
has become very serious and outlines a
plan of salvation for Mr.. Cleveland's
friends to follow. This secret circular
ends with the very significant state
ment that the National ticket will not
receive the support it is entitled to If
the campaign is leis in the hands OF Mr..
Cleveland's enemies.
This circular had not Travelled very
far before it fell into the hands Of Mr..
Sheehan's friends, aud they are very
angry. The tenor Of the circular was
such that there could be no mistaking
the fact that it was direct attack on
Mr.. Sbeehan. II was issued from the
headquarters Of the Buffalo contingent
Of the Syracuse Convention.

RAvENswooD, w. VA, August Co.
Col. William 4. MacCorkle spoke a.
Spencer yesterday at half-past twelve
o'clock. 1t was announced that Gov
ernor MacCorkle would speak at the
Court House, and long before the hOul
set for the address the building was
crowded with auditors.
1t was understood that the Republic
cans would have some present to meet
the Colonel, but the Republican did not
materialze and MacCorkle had it all To
himself. Because Of the report OF q
possible joint meeting goodly number
of Republicans were present.
Col. MacCorkle spoke for fully two
hours and a half He took up the Re-
publican platform and dlssected the Ia
Dor plank. He vigorously discussed the
Republican colonization scheme, the
Homestead trouble and the strike at the
Marnet coal mines In this State. The
speaker soon warmed up to his work.
The enthusiasm manifested was a
marked compliment 10 the gentleman.
1t was remarked on all sides that the
address was the best made here for
many a day. II was the general verdict
that the Parkers6urg convention had
made no mistake in the head OF the
ticket.
Governor MacCorkle arrived here
from Spencer at 5 o'clock and imme-
diately after supper addressed the Dem
ocrats OF Ravenswood at the Opera
House. The building was tastefully
decorated aud the speakers table elab-
orately arrayed with flowers, the work
of the Democratic ladies OF the town.
Although Colonel MacCorkle had
talked for nearly three hours at Spen-
Ger and rode all afternoon he appeared
on the stage at the Opera House look
ing as fresh as though he had just got
ten out of bed. He spoke for nearly
two hours and was listened to atten-
lively by the large and enthusiastic
audience. He inspired all with much
confidence and the enthusiasm was I'M
bounded.
In an interview with Col. McCorkle
to-day just before he left on an Ohio
River train, he said that his law Offices
at Charleston had been turned over to
the Democratic Committee, and that
with the exception of three days past,
his whole time had been devoted to
helping the committee in its work OF
organization, which was progressing
very satisfactorily. He spoke in the
highest terms Of the splendid executive
ability of MesSrs. Ohley and Chiffon.
Col. McCorkle expects to make the
most energetic canvass ever carried for
ward In this state.

"A Few of the Striking Switchmen Want

Leader
BUFFALO, August 26.-The discon-
tents have asked Vice Master Barrett,
OF Kansas City, and also Chairman
Hutchinson, OF the board OF trustees, TO
J accept the chairmanship OF the waning
causes of the switchmen and push out
| again. Mr.. Barrett was urged that IL
he told them TO take up the strike where
! Sweeney laid IL down and carry it to
victory nothing could prevent him
J being made grand master at the con-
vention Of the order this autumn.
Barrett responded, however, that he
had no authority under the laws OF the
order to undertake any work of the
kind presented for his championship.
! Chairman Hutchinson also would have
nothing to do with the movement.
Some hot heads might remain fretful
and ugly for the time, but the strike
was dead officially, and there was no
official who could encourage any belief
/ to the contrary.
A charge that Mr.. Sweeney sold out
the men was flying about from mouth to
mouth and was heard on every side. AS
such reports are wont to do, they lack
! form and even pretend to say what the
sum was which Sweeney got. These
reports showed how bitter the feeling
was against him. The truth Is, how
ever, that when Mr.. Sweeney was in

orders on Wednesday he was advised

Commissioner Donovan. Donovan
urged that the wisest course was to de-
clare the strike off. "Why, l can yet
tie up every trunk line from New York
| TO Chicago" protested Mr.. Seeney. He
felt he could not give up for week yet,
but he finally after long discussion,
said: IL know the advice You give me
is good, and / will act on 1t, but I'll get
hell for calling IL off now. You don't
know these men as l do" said he TO
Donovan.
"WilI you do this thing tonight"
, asked the commissioner.
eyes, l will" was the reply, and from
the commissioner Mr.. Sweeney went d.
rectly To a conference with Vice Master
Barrett, Trustee Hutchinson, Local
Master Mofiarity, and some others. At
the end of their conference the strike
was declared off.
Orders for the movement homeward
OF the troops have been issued. These
orders send away from the city all but
the members of the Fourth brigade,
which numbers about 1900 men.
Reports from the camps this morning
showed that the night passed unevent-
full. No disturbance of any consequence
was reported.

Self praise is no recommendation, but
there are times when one must permit u

When what he says is supported by the
testimony of others no reasonable man
viii doubt his word. Now, to say that
ALLcocK's Porous PLAsTERs are the
only genuine and reliable porous plas-

for over thirty years, and in proof of
their merits it is only necessary TO call
