LOOKING BEFORE AND AFTER.
An is not lost though much Is changed and
dimmed,
Though tanned the eager torrent Of de-
sire,
And sobered. dashed, or dead the hopes that
trimmed
The morning hills Of time with magic
fire.
The loyal love that wears not customs rust,
The faith still flrmest found when hardest
tried,
The calm, the charity, the ju igment just.
That failed not as the years that sadden
glide;
The afterglow Of youths pure faded dream,
The holy hush OF memory-these we
keep;
Sunset benignly fingers, and life's stream
hrosy as IL wanders TO the desp.
Sweet still earths air to taste, heavens light
10 see,
Still smiles o'er.tost DER tranquil main,
the moon,
As glad as II is in spring to breathe, to be,
As kind the comfort Of the rivers tune.
Still gentle robin sings a soft 1900 I-night''
From mimosa branch above the lawn,
Untired the blackbird shouts an anthem
bright
Through his lone kingdom OF the twilight
dawn

OF the Effect of the Proposed Tariff BILL
ALI One Sized.
PITTsBURG, PA, November 27.-Ihe
Wilson tariff bill was the general theme
of conversation to-day among the iron'
steel and glass manufacturers, coal ope-
ratnrs and business men generally.
Hon. 3. f. Jones, OF the Jones " NC.
Laughlin American Iron and Steel
Works, said the effect of the proposed
bill would be very disastrous to the iron
and steel industries OF the country. III
the measure should be signed by the
President, fifty per cent. of the labor
even now employed would be rendered
idle, and the remainder would nave 10
work for one half the present wages.
II. w. Oliver, of the Oliver Iron and
Steel Company, said: "As present
prices are below the cost, the reduction
must be borne by labor and freights'
The change to ad valorem duties Is In
defensible, and it is simply brutal to
have the bill go into effect on March
lst. 1t is calculated to destroy what
little business we have. A good all
around percentage reduction In the
present specific duties, and a speedy
passage of the bill, would have been
welcome relief and would have resulted
in a quick revival Of business"
Frank Clark, OF William Clark ~ Co.,
said his firm could not compete Win
European manufacturers on cotton
ties at the proposed reduction. They
could stand a reduction OF six or seven
tenths but not one of $40.
President w. P. DeArmit, OF the
New York and Cleveland Gas Coal Com
pany, said the placing of coal on the
free list would not directly effect the
railroad companies.
William Loeffler, Secretary OF the
Window Glass Manufacturers Assocla-
tion, said the workmen would have to
bear the burden, and that reduced
wages would be the result.
William j. Smith, President OF the
American Flint Glass Workers Union,
said: "If the glass schedules as reported
are adopted the effect will be to throw
manJ glass workers out of employment
Its adoption will not necessarily make
anv wage contest on the lines OF goods
most affected as manufacturers Will I'M
port as they did in the past, particular
ly before the Mckinley law was put In
force. For number Of years, owing
TO the inadequacy Of the tariff, workers
on certain lines of goods had been able
to earn but bare subsistence, the little
work they received being generally
upon those thin blown goods that could
not well be imported.
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1893-11-28

zell criticised severely the ad vaIorem
system of duties and predicted law suits
without number. The bill cannot prove
otherwise than severe blow at our su-
premaey as a manufacturing nation,
and it must necessarily fall upon labor.
l am at a loss to know how any patrl-
otic American can wish for its pas
sage"
Ex-Speaker Tom Reed, q member OF
the Ways and Means Committee, said
tonight: ''In the committee the South
hold a strange and very unfortunate
predomination. As their industrial
status is very much different from the
average of the whole country, 1t has
followed that the bill is a6ous as bad as
could be reasonably imagined. Ihis
may not be true with regard to every
item, but tits certainly true with regard
TO the most important matters in the

The Author of the Present Tariff Law

CLEVELAND, O., November 27.-Gov-
ernor Mckinley arrived in Cleveland
this evening. He was asked his opinion
Of the Wilson tariff bill He said he
had not read the abstract of the meas
ure and had only glanced through Mr..
Wilson'S review of it. He said the
bill proposed very sweeping
reductions in the existing tariff.
II was such a measure
as he expected, yet little more sweep
ing than he had anticipated. 1t was,
however, in line with the expressed de-
termination Of the Democracy TO ignore
the business interests and the working
people of the country. The objection
able feature of the bill, Mr.. Mckinley
said, was the substitution Of ad valorem
for specific duties. That alone ought to
defeat the entire measure. The ad
valorem system, he said, rests upon the
foreign valuation, which is hard to de-
termine, and it puts premium upon
upder-valuation frauds. All the lead
ing nations OF the world, he declared,
had abandoned the ad valorem system
OF levylng customs duties, for the rea-
son that the valuation is made thou
sands of miles from the port OF entry
and can never be depended upon. de
quoted the late Secretary Man
ming as having said that false
invoices, undervaluation and like
dishonesty are inherent In
the advalorem system, and he was GER
tain that such frauds would become
more prevalent under it. He also
quoted Henry Clay as saying that II be
could fix the value he did not care what
the advalorem duty was.
Governor Mckinley said that the new
bill would not please the protection
men Of the Democratic party, but he
would not venture prediction as to It's
chance Of passing the House.

The second week Of the great strike on

amicabIy or otherwise, are as far OIL as

WASHINGTON, D. c., November 27.-
Deputy United States Marshal Garden
was in the city to-day on business con-

that the allowance for witness fees in
cases in the federal courts In west
Virginia has been exhausted because OF
the big raids which have been OF
late made on the moonshiner distillers,
in the coal mining districts, and Mar
shal Garden came to Washington to get
a further allowance in order to pay wit
nesses in cases now pending at Charles
ton. He expects to get what
he wants tomorrow, when he
will return home. When asked II
he knew anything about the case OF the
prisoner who died at Charleston, Mr..
Garden said he did not. he knew that
doctors had been sent TO look after some
of the prisoners who were sick. but did
not know any of them were In a serious
condition.
