Won't Stand AnalySiS

The Cumberland Neacs disposed of
question by giving the JOURNAL a
"once-for-all'' theorem of high pro-
lection.
But that is story that cannot be
told at one sitting.
For when you come to analyze the
statement the logistics thereof will not
cohere.
For instance-the Neaos states as
fact that 'the whole community" is
benefited by a high tariff, but never
explains hoo it is done. Like the
spritualistic medium, it is an agnostic
concerning the philosophy of the thing.
Let us try it:
"The whole community is composed
of three typical people:
l, The manufacturer =
2, The operative, and
,, The consumer.
Under high tariff we learn that
the manufacturer is enabled to pay
No. = high and higher wages-placing
him on the broad road to wealth.
Meantime, the product gets down so
cheap that any consumer can buy it
enabling him also to take the highway
to aff1uence.
And the manufacturer is getting
rich paying high wages out of the
proceeds of goods sold way down.
This condition ali round is said to
be "assuredly" the case.
Still we can't see how it is done. Our
observation of things in commercial
economy has persuaded us that when
ever one man gets rich, some other
man or men is correspondingly getting
poorer. The wheel of fortune, as this
paper has said before, is like all other
wheels-when onehalf of It's periphery
Is rising the other half is going down.
1t cannot be otherwise.
To say that the whole periphery is
rising at any one time is to aver a
phenomenon in physics which no
rationale will tolerate.
So is the economy which processes
to cheaper products by making the
means of production costly.

Brief, but Conclusive.

The Morgantown wv. Va.) Nep Do
minion squeezes the whole problem into
less than three lines. Here is its
tariff bill:
All imports into the United States during
the year 1894 shall pay an ad yalorem duty
of - per cent.
The JOURNAL excerpts to the limita-
ton to 1894, but otherwise votes for
the bill.
Under it we would haye taxation
imposed upon the only known basis -
the value of the thing consumed.
And under it the duty on coal would
still be rs cents per ton.
Moreover, the miner would get his
living and clothing at prices not con-
stantly stimulated, encouraged and
sustained by a governmental boom.

Under His Breath

A closed bank in Arizona has issued
the following notice:
This bank has not busted; it owes the
people $4,000; the people owe it $4,000; ii
is the people who are busted when they pay
we'll pay.
In this country an occurrence exactly
similar would be ascribed to fear of
free trade.
Which reminds the JOURNAL that
nowhere is the panic more painfully
felt than in Colorado.
But if there is man in that State
who blames proposed tariff reform
with the trouble he is singing low
very low.

The Cumberland Ne,os is engaged in
putting its nominees.
Which is wholly unnecessary.
Because they are standing on plat
form distinctly committing them to u
low tariff on coal and high tariff on
everything else.
The JOURNAL would not detract a
syllable from the Ne,os' eulogiums, but.
fellow-citizens, bosses and bicycles,
this is a campaign of "principles, not
men,"

His ONLY Fault.

Those democrats in West Virginia
who are condemning Coy. MacCorkle
for asking for the retention OF the duty
on coal are straightout fools of the
downright jackass stripe.
The Chicago platform warrants
everything the governor asked for.
He was little too breezy in making
his plea-that's all.
But time and the coming reign of
common sense will vindicate him.

Almost Historically Romantic.

Judge Hoffman tinged his plea for
the continuance of the county's bust
ness at point outside the county with
some sentiment predicted on historical
happenings.
1t was about the only argument
ayailable-lf mere sentiment can be
called argument.
But respect for it, and even neglect
of it, pays Cumberland handsomely,
and costs this-the real heart of the
county, an enormous tribute every
year, especially those years during
which Cumberland lets the courthouse
burn down.

Good Roads.

Some time ago the JOURNAL in
sisted that good roads preceded in Sc
quence schools, especially good schools,
colleges, .etc.-a contention which
aroused guffaw among a few papers
hereabout, one of which last week
published the following as its leading
editorial, quoted from the Florence
(Ala.) Gazette.
Roads Good roads, good schools, and
prosperity follow one another. Education
demands good roads, good roads command
prosperity. How are we to attain one OF
these unless the people rise up and make a
united effort?
The people should "rise up' and
shake dirty politics out off good many
things.
AS to roads, the current system
should be abolished, and building new
roads and repairing old ones let out by
contract; or done under competent
supervision by convict labor, or by
some better plan, if any.
There could hardly be a change to
one worse than that now in vogue.

A PROSPECTUS RiddIed,

The Hyndman (Pa.) Bulletin, talk
ing through its hat, reports the follow
ing:
The Mills Bill, it is said, will be the basis
upon which the new tariff measure will be
modelled. Free raw material tariff of
about cent per pound on sugar, free wool,
free lumber free coal, reduction of from
one-half to three fourthsin the duty on many
other articles-these are some of the details of
the proposed measure.
The trouble with that report is-the
Mills bill did not provide for free
COAL"
But the Allison bill, designed to
supplant the Mills bill in the Senate,
did provide for free coal"
While the Mills bill was incubating,
Mr.. McComas, with great blast of
trumpets and a snowy daylight
fanfaronade of concern for the safety
of coal-actually not endangered, had
a platoon of miners march to Wash
ingtOn to set at naught "the schemes
of these democratic free traders"
But when the Allison bill came out,
aoith coal on the free list, did he summon
1.-THE platoon" then
No; so careful and concerned was
he that no one up here should learn
that coal was endangered by his own
fraternal protectionists, that it was
said by somebody at the time that she
not only hurried to Washington alone,
but aoent in the nightE"
And then he-and Gen. Golf, who
was in the same kettle of fsh-had a
mischief of time getting Senator
Allison to understand that the pre-
servation of the political status of each
was more important to the country
than cheap fuel.
The Senator tumbled to "the vital
situation" at last, but manifestly with
great reluctance.
Which illustrates that politics con-
sists mostly in fooling the people.

A Long-Felt Want Still Filled.

The Supreme Court of California
decides, in effect, that "whle the OK
that treads out the corn" may be con-
siderately and lawfully "muzzled," the
press which spreads the news and
propagatcs opinions cannot be regard
ed as an antediluvian corn-thrasher.
Hence, the press is still here to oc-
cupy the highest temporal Office in the
world.

Cannot be Anything Else.

The JOURNAL would be truly in
bad way if its position were always
correctly defined by the Cumberland
Meas.
In its issue of the 10th ult. it accused
the JOURNAL of ga downright yielding
of the question" that the superiority of
our coal would enable it to hold its
place in market in spite of foreign
competition.
Honestly, the JOURNAL neoer enter
tanned that notion nor made such a
claim in the absolute sense conveyed
by the Nens-at least not since 1889,
when it first read reliable analysis of
Pocahontas coal.
On the contrary, the JOURNAL has
been Singing low on that assump-
ton, because it will not stand contro-
versy. We regret to confess it, but it
is true. AS matter of fact, Poca-
hontas coal is as good as Georges
Creek coal!
Pocahontas is 100 miles further from
tide, yet that coal goes into the steam
ship market and underbids Georges
Creek
Hence, the qualities being about
equal, what is it but 5000 pound tons
that do the business
Some steamship companies will pay
more for Georges Creek coal than
Clearfeld, but some factories will not.
Some steamship companies will pay
more for Pocahontas than Clearfeld
coal, but some factories will not.
But it is more than probable that
1000 pounds of Pocahontas coal can
be placed in Boston at least 40 cents
lower than Georges Creek, and %
cents lower even than the best Clear
field
Yet, by rail and water, it must travel
several hundred miles further.
Will the Neus state explicitly now
what occasions this advantage to Po-
cahontas if not that of overweight
taken from the miners
The NeUs next wanted to know:
What reason has the JOURNAL to believe
that the Cape Breton syndicate will weigh
their coal any more accurately than the Po-
cahontas or West Virginia people?
None whatever that we know of.
There has been none. There is none
now-p they rant to compete. Let the
same system in principle exist In Nova
Scotia weights that now rules in Poca-
hontas and the Is cents per ton duty
would not be at all in the way.
In conclusion, the JOURNAL yields
no point it has made.

A few weeks ago the JOURNAL wrote
an article on reciprocity" in reply to

the absence of editorial from its col

Whereupon the Morgantown wv.

Writes editorials with his nose does he?
And row the Echo comes back at the
Post and, with great pertinency, in
quires:
Does the editor of the Post write editorials
without his nose?
If he does, he nose-less than any other
editor we nose.

A feature Of a ballroom life, which,

alike calls aloud for redress, is in order
of discussion here, writes Mrs Burton
Harrison in the November Ladies' Home
Journal One hears everywhere the
complaint that a woman, old or young
may not stir from her seat To get supper,
or to avoid a draught or to change
places for a better point of view, with
out being annexed to the arm of some
member of the selecting sex, for whom
she must wait, or whistle, to use the
ancient, pngent phrase. Hard as this
unwntten law is to the elders, who see
themselves doomed to dependence on
callow youths, the age, IL may be, Of
their sons, for the privilege of crossing
a crowded bit of parQuet floor, it is
boubly so to the girls who must wait the
pleasure of these sultans Of the hour to
rise from the seats into which their
healthy activity has been unclaimed. If
they might only fraternize with each
other, and cross the ballroom hand in
hand, 80 into supper likewise, and, bet
ter than ALL dance together, without
proclaiming themselves wall flowers,
what a merry set our debutantes would
be. Unrammeled by absurd necessity,
the girls who now sit, Often grave and
spiritless, beside their protectors, would
then take flight, chirping and chatter
ing like flock of birds. As il is, who
has not seen the unnatural spectacle of
these young creatures holding back from
conversation with each other, bravely
supprcssing yawns, waiting and gazing
with sad eyes upon the pageant of a
dance which are not Join be
