A Transition Period

The Ways and Means committee are
evidently having hard time settling
the status of coal. Rumors of placing
it on the free list are plentiful, but the
Baltimore Sun of Tuesday says:
The members of the committee on ways
and means still MAINTAIN silence on the
subject and will neither confirm nor deny the
report.
The following information from the
same medium is interesting:
Both the extreme East and the extreme
West are clamoring for free coal. The New
England manufacturers insist that if they
are to have the tariff cut down on the articles
they manufacture they must have free raw
materials and free coal for fuel under their
boilers. The same cry goes up from the
Pacific coast, where the manufacturers of all
kinds want to be allowed to import coal from
Australia free of duty.
Irving NJ Scott, the president of the Union
Iron Works, of San Francisco, is one of the
most earnest advocates of free coal on the
Pacific coast. He stated in a recent Commu-
nicationto the ways and means committee
that he would be able to build ships as
cheapy as they could be built on the Clyde if
the committee would put iron ore and coal
on the free list.
There is good authority for the statement
that the committee, in addition to putting
coal upon the free list, has put iron ore and
silver lead ores on the same list 1t is believed
lumber will also be entirely free from duty.
There was sort of an understanding that
these important raw materials should be
treated alike, and if one was given protection
the others were to have 1t in about the same
degree If, as now seems probable, they are
all to be added to the free list, great incen-
tive will be given to many lines of manufac-
turing in this country.
1t will be seen
|, That the committee says nothing
2, That New England and Califor-
mia, rather than "stand by the home
industry of mining, "are clamoring"
for the very thing that it is said by the
Cumberland Neps will destroy the
industry.
3, That while our industry goes to
the wall manufactures and ship-build-
ing will bound into new and perma-
nent stages of prosperous life. And
so on.
But the checklist claim of the lot is
that of New England manufacturers
that ifthey are to have the tariff cut down
on the articles they manufacture they must
hare free raw materials and free coal for fuel
under their boilers
This, after having the tariff raised
on their goods from an average of AZ
to 6S per cent. under the Mckinley act.
Now, if they are to be placed back
under about the same protection they
enjoyed before, the miners Of coal
must surrender all protection.
Yet these are the identical people
we stood by here in Allegany county
by about 900 Majority
So, gentlemen, if free coal comes
and IN its train all the prophesied
evils, the JOURNAL will be very sure
to keep you in mind of the fact that
the procession began in New England.
If it comes without the evils, the
JOURNAL will continue to pay its
attention to the prophets.

Cuff.

1t is well that Mr.. Cleveland should say a
good word for the poor and needy in his
Thanksgiving day proclamation. He and
the democratic party have caused thousands
who were charitygivers last Thanksgiving
day to join the ranks of the poor and needy.
Salisbury (Pa,) Star.
The newspaper that gives out such
stuff as that ought to be ashamed of
itself, if there is II solitary spark of a
negative virtue in its composition.
Put to the proof, the Star can no
more cite single act Of Cleveland
or his party producing the current
stringency than 1t can give the name of
a charity-giver who has been thereby
forced to flop from aims giving to
alms-eating.

Question of Sanity.

The JOURNAL boasts of an intelligent con.
stituency, but does it expect its readers to be-
leve that any sane carpet-maker would sell
per yard when he could obtain $40 per yard
in this country ?-Cumberan News.
The JOURNAL has some readers who
know there is an American made sew
ing machine in Eekhart that was
bought new year or two ago in Eng
land for about half the price the same
machine is imposed upon our home
buye,s.
1t is not matter, therefore, of what
the ''sane carpet-maker' can do, but of
what he does.
1t is not a matter of option with
buyers here. The government adds
somewhere between 40 and so per cent.
to the cost of the carpet as gift to the
carpet-maker and the home buyer has
got to take it at the increased cost, or
go without carpet.
But carpets can be made faster than
they can be worn out; hence, the
surplus goes to England and sells there
for nearly half the price we are forced
to pay here.
The ''sane arpet-maker' sells all he
can at home, of course, and would re-
gard himself insane to keep goods on
hand that the home market wont take
when be can still sell them at profit
abroad, with the tariff bonus omitted.
Come again.

Another Evil.

Is labor-saving machinery a benefit
to the community?
Not under system of "high pro-
tection.'
Besides displacing labor by ma
chinery, the latter takes from the com
munity the advantages which multi
piled productivity affords and concen-
trates them in the hands of the COM
parative few who are able to own the
machinery.
A tariff for revenue only will force
these owners to divide with the COM
munity the benefits which invention
and the patent laws design shall go
with some equality to all who make such
advantages possible and profitable.

Wrong Party Blamed.

1t is almost heart-rending to read
the Cumberland Ne,cs' recital of the
Alabama protest, concerning which it
reports
Three hundred and fifty thousand people o
that State have filed their protest against free
coal and free iron ore.
They are represented as appealing
to Congress in this agonzing way:
For Gods sake pause before you bring
everlasting ruin and bankruptcy to MS by
carrying into effect the policy for which we
voted in our ignorance That
is the doleful cry which comes up from the
great iron community of the South. Will a
democratic Congress have the hardihood to
turn upon these people with the retort that
they are too late in their recantation? We
shall see. 1t would be a veritication of the
charge of incorriglbIe Bourbonism if they
did.
That would sound awful were 1t not
for one circumstance. The people of
Alabama and the Notcs are appealing
to the wrong crowd.
They should go to New England
the section we are standing by, and
utter their protests and plants,
saying
Please, masters don't have Congress place
coal OH the free list !
Please stop saying that you want free coal I!
If you will quit that, Congress will leave
coal where il is.
Please, masters-you have monopolized all
the patriotism of the country for centuries
how can you-O how can yo~ go back on
your country and want to buy coal in Nova
Scotia?
They should show that if there was
no New England there would be no de-
mand for free coal, and Congress
would have nobody to crafty by
placing coal on the free list.
But it has come down to this-if
the democratic party had exclusive
charge of the salvation of the human
race, the Cumberland Meas would
never have word Of reproach for His
Majesty, the Devil, the imperial gen.
tleman who wants the race damned.

A Violent l'OStulate.

But it must not be forgotten that the dem
ocratic leaders Of the present administration
planned to put coal on the free list. ETC.
Cumberland Ne'rS.
There's about as much coal dust in
the ''plan" thus outlined as the read
er's eye will comfortably hold.
What have the republicans in New
England done that the republican
miners of Pennsylvania, Maryland and
West Virginia should be robbed for
their benefits
Especially-what have they done
that democratic administration
should rob their own. democratic
miners Of Virginia, Tennessee and
Alabama for their benefit
The Ne,oS would be in "hot boy" if
it were on the witness-stand sub
Stimulating its assumption.

The Value of Errors.

The Chicago dispatch, dated 18th
inst, says:
DR.. Edward Bedloe, of Philadelphia,
staunch republican and consul to Annoy,
China, under President Harrison, gives his
unqualified Endorsement to President Cleve-
land on the Hawaiian question. Because
an official under the republican administra
ton made a mistake" he said "is no reason
why the party should take up that mistake
as party policy" etc.
The Cumberland NewS seems to dis
agree with DR.. Bedloe. 1t appears to
think that "a mistake" is the thing to
run on.
In standing by New England,
dutiable GOALS greatest enemy, for
instance, it adopts the WORST of all
errors as a party shibboleth-an error
far more fatal than blaming Cleveland
with hauling down flag that was
never run up.

This is Strengthened Out.

The Cumberland Ners misinterprets
the JOURNALS remark that Mckaig
twas not making fool of himself
during the hegira of coal tariff sal
vationists to Washington in Septem,
Der. 1t affects to think that
1t was one of the JOURNALS most cruel
Parthian arrows, flung in its most precise and
deliberate manner.
A proper contemplation of Davis and
McCorkle's misfortune, however, will
develop another instance of what is
now known as "McKaig's luck"
The good genus which seems to pre-
side over his political auspices saved
him from becoming the mouthpiece OF
ross-examiners, merciless as Bryan
and INSCRIPTIONS as Reed.
That is what the JOURNAL meant.
Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1893-11-18
Amounts to Nothing.

The Cumberland Ne,os finds fault
with the JOURNALS consistency. 1t
notices that the JOURNAL let Maynard
alone when he was politically alive,
but kicked him after the election
transmogritied him into a dead
jackal."
If the JOURNAL were an organ it
would admit the impeachment, pro-
nounce it just and explain that it is
the way with all organs.
For lnstance-it is the policy of a
high protection organ to damn tariff
reformers for supposed hospitality to
other high protection demands for free
coal.
Yet never utter a syllable OF re-
proach of those high protectionlsts
with whom the trouble originates.
But the JOURNAL, being an indepen-
dent labor paper, referred with two
fold satisfaction to Chauncey M.
Depew's prophecy that Maynard, and
not tariff reform, would be showed
under by slide of land.
Hence, what "a great many will
fully blind "persons think is very
shabby kind of inder endent Journal
ism," is, as Mr.. Toots said when he
failed to kiss the milkmaid, Greatly of

The Pile OINTMENT
From the Worlds Fair to Washing
ton and the East.


Do you contemplate going to the
Worlds Fair? OF course you dO-eyery
,one does. But you will not end your
journey with visit to the Fair. You
will want TO go back to the old home
in New York. Ohio or Pennsylvania.
You will, perhaps, want incidentally,
to 60 to Washington, call on the Presi-
dent to inquire after the CROP" in fact
make swing around the whole circle,
take in Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Wheel
ing, Washington, Baltimore, and New
York. That would make a splendid
trip if taken over the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad. Over no other railroad
route in all the east, can there be found
more delightful and varied scenery
than over the famous B. & O. 1t is the
only direct route from Chicago to
Washington. Leaving Chicago on the
finest and fastest train in the world,
vestibuled from end to end, lighted
by the famous Pintch gas protected
Pullman's anti-telescOping device, land
perfect block system, you are rapid
ly whirled over splendid road-bed
and down through the grand old
states of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
Pennsylvania and Virginia, away up
among the mountain Businesses of
the Alleghanies, past hundreds of
historic battlefelds and places of
note. You cannot conceive of
grander trip on all the American con-
tinent, If you contemplate visiting
the old home in the East, you should
not fail to travel by the way of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad. For in
formation as to rates, time of trains,
sleeping car accommodations, ETC.,

PUBLIC BUILDING PLANS.

The new plans for the government
building which have been received by
Architect Thayer make a consider
able change in the building, on the
interior as well as the exterior. The
building will be three feet and eight
inches longer on Second street, and
one foot longer on Jackson street. The
working space in the postoffice will be
about the same as in the first plans,
and the increase of floor space will go
into the lobby, for the use of the pub
lie. The vault and stairway are moved
from the southeast to the northeast
corner.
The changes in the plans will neces-
itate the charging of the excavation,
and w. B. Craig will on Saturday
night present figures of the increased
cost. These will be examined by Mr..
Thayer and then sent on to Washing
ton, and it will be at least two weeks
before they are finally acted upon.
Work will not be resumed until this
has been done.
