In accepting the nomination fol

gave expression to the following sen.
timent:
This is the sixth time you have
conferred upon me the highest hon.

up the most laborious task you can
exact on any citizen of this district
But l assure you it is not the honor
great as it is, that / think of, or the
task, impossible as l know it Is Of
satisfactory fulfillment, but of the
unvarying and abundant personal
political friendship with which you
have followed me from year to yeal
in my frightening career as your
Representative As look out from
this stand into the faces of those who
have thus welcomed me from conven.
ton to convention, cannot trust my.
self to say what ] feel in gratitude
for their friendship. | have some
times feared that / might wear ouI
my welcome with the Democrats o.

your own spontaneous act, and as
sure you if / had discovered any
where in the district any substantial
opposition to my denomination,
should have promptly shown my
sense of the honors you have already
done me by declining to push con
test for new honors."

be derived from high tariff
law is shown by the preamble and
resolutions adopted by the Central
Labor Union Of New York city in
connection with an expression OF
sympathy for the locked-out men at
Homestead. The resolutions we're
prepared by the Committee on Laws
and Legislation and recite that I'VE
see in this conflict the blind struggle
Of our fellow workmen, bound down
by this legislation passed for the
benefit Of the monopolists, but which
Legislation we know is largely the re-
suit Of the votes Of these very work
men thus bound down." and that I'VE
perceive the strength OF the monop-
olist to be drawn from his control OF
the lands, coal fields, and mines Of
the country, and bolstered up by
the monstrous legislation which al
lows him to sell his product at his
own price, without fear of outside
competition, which legislation rem
ders it possible for the head of the
monopolistic firm to live in luxury
in Scottish castle, where he enter
tains princes, while his workmen,
banded in defense of their homes and
families, are being shot down by his
hireling soldiers" More Is said to
the same purpose, and it is declared
that the remedy lies in the safeguard
of the ballot, and workers are called
upon so to vote as to shake of the
hold Of the monopolists and place
men in control of the government
who will pass laws and administer
them with justice to the wage Garner
as well as to the operator.

gives notice to the vorkingmen in Tie
mills that ssn economic revolution
has been steadily progres4ing in the
iron trade Of this ecuntry.n
1t asserts that through the enor-
nous expansion Of our producing ca
pacity the iron and steel industry Of
this country is no longer the highly
profitable business which it once
Was" 1t admits that the profits Of
the trade have hitherto been .artif
cial," and alleges that wages have
also been artificial. 1t intimates that
both capital and labor have had
"three or four times AZ much" a. hai
been earned by businesses dependent
upon natural laws. There are ques
tions CURLY settled in this article il
favor of the contention Of revenue re
formers, but aside from these it il
we'll to examine the assertion tina,
wages are going down because prices
are falling on account of competition
and over-production.
The Carnegie Company has declar
ed as a reason for reducing wages in
some of its mills that improved ma
chinery has increased the output, and
that consequently the workingmen
can earn larger wage at smaller
rate Of pay per ton. Nothing has been
said about diminishing price as
the cause of the corporations Offer
of lower wages.
As matter Of fact, the Iron Age's
own columns show that IFS statement
is not correct. The Homestead mill
owners rested their case on the fact
that steel billets had sold for less
than $23 ton. In the current nun.
Der of the Iron Age billets are quo
ted at Chicago at $2450; at Pitts
burg, from $23.50 to $24; at Philadel.
phia, at $3.50 and upward. At the
same time British steel billets are
quoted at "a IS. to "a Is. 3d., OF
from $21.2 to $21.75 ton.
The duty on steel billets of this
kind is $40, SO that all that the fig.
ures show is that competition in this
country is so active and strong that
the domestic manufacturer. whose
labor cost on a ton of billets is $1.6E
for one kind and $1.90 for another
cannot squeeze the whole of the SIC
bounty out of the American consum
er. His profit at present labor rates
is from Is to rs per cent, and this
certainly does not indicate the pres
ence or approach of an industrial rev
oiation which will make it neces
sary for him to reduce wages.
There is another article to which
we have alluded recently. A ten Of
steel rails costs the manufacturer
about $40, production having been
cheapened since 1885 by decline in
the price of pig-iron and by the in
vention of labor-saving machinery
During the same time the price Of
rails has advanced from $26 ton ia
$50. The quotations of the Iron
Age show that rails are still held at
$50, although there is practically nc
demand for them.
If the steel rail makers can pro.
duce rails for $40, hold them at $50
and keep the foreign product out by
duty of $13.44, why should they be
compelled to pay lower wages2
There is no reason except that they
want to pay labor less in order to in,
crease profits, admitted by the Iron
Age to be artificially large already

PESTALOZZI.
The Subject Of a Lecture by DIR. Schaef.
fer Wednesday Night.

The life of the subject of the lee
ture was graphically sketched from
the time he was boy with his frs,
pennies till he gave directions fol
his burial and the inscription on his
monument. The lecturer first told
how an irish gentleman, who could
not understand. "a word Pestalozzi wat
saying, was impressed by his methods
of teaching because of the looks Of
eager interest and intelligence upon
the faces of the pupils. He then
told how he married woman seven
years older than himself, Anna
Schultes, the daughter of a rich mer-
chant. He spent her fortune willing
ly placed at his disposal, in futile
attempt to establish a school for
elevating the masses by educating
the poor children. After this fail
ure, being without money to prose
cute his philanthropic plans for the
betterment of mankind, he was in
duced to take up his pen. The re-
suit was the tale of Leonard and
Gertrude book which brought
tears to the eyes of Queen Louise OF
Prussia, and which has done more
than any other work for popular ed
ucation throughout Europe.
To Pestalozzi Prussia, which had
come to be known as the land of the
schulemeister, owed her victory over
Austria in the war of '66 and over
France in the Franco Prussian war.
When the king of Prussia returned
from the war in which be had been
so badly beaten by the first Napoleon,
his prime minister. said to him 1--WE
must gain in the world of mind what
we have lost in the world of matter"
"Ja, ia, ia, das list wahr" replied the
king, and from that the cause of
popular education received an i'm
petus which soon placed the schools
of that country at the head of the
schools, of the world, position they
still maintain. Austria took les
sons from the German schools,
then France and England, and
Massachusetts and Ohio have sent
commissions over there to inves-
tigate their school systems and
have modelled theirs after them.
Pestalozzi was the pioneer man as
Germany is the pioneer nation in in
shutting schools Of manual training.
This explains why men from the
Fatherland are constantly taking
the place of skilled workmen of our
own country, having had better train
ing they are better prepared for their
work. This was enlarged upon by
the lecturer and is one of the best
arguments in favor of the establish
ment of schools of manual training
in the different states of the Union.
In the concluding part of his lecture
he touched upon the main points in
the career of Napoleon Bonaparte
contracting his life with that Of Pesta-
lozzi; and showing the vast prcpond-
erance Of good without any of the
harm in the life Of this greatest Of
A large audience greeted the lee
turer and listened to his entertain
ing talk with rapt attention. He
spoke for three quarters of an hour
without notes and all present seemed
to enjoy the lecture to the utmost.
The subject was one of especial in
terest to teachers and many were the
compliments passed upon it by them.
The theme was an inspiring one and
cannot fail to make the teachers fall
more in love with their calling

A Netcs reporter boarded the train
at Grafton for New Martinsville this
week. With two other Harrison
county Democrats he concluded to
take poll of the vote of the passen-
gers as to their choice of Presidential
candidates. There were 275 passen-
gers aboard Of whom 1911 favored the
election Of Grover Cleveland. Two
Republicans were seen who said they
would not vote for Harrison. One OF
them stated as his reason that he op-
posed the Force bill and that Harri-
son carried the Force bill in his peck
ct. The other was Union soldier
who bore honorable scars, but said,
II cease to vote the Republican tick
ct when it disgraces the honorable
soldier by giving pension to every
camp-fellow and coffee maker
Eight negroes were among the pas
sengers, and of these, seven would
support "Massa," Harrison. The
eighth, whose face bore the stamp of
intelligence, thought the Republican
party had become the enemy of the
colored race and that the time had
(come for the negro to vote for Mr..
aeveland.
In one corner of the smoker sat
Cinnamon. Every one of these
some way or other expressed
mselves for Harrison. The last

i race, exclaimed, tine for Harri-
