10 RELIEvE 80 rNEmPLoEED.

The suggestion Of the REGISTER as
to the most speedy, practicable. and
economical method Of relieving the I'M
employed OF the city, has met with the
unanimous approval OF all classes Of
citizens, and will be favorably acted
upon as soon as Council can make the
necessary arrangements. There is no
doubt that the measure will pass
unanimously. The plan has al
ready been practically approved
by nine-tenths of the members, who
recognize the urgent need of immediate
relief, and that this is the only prac-
tlcable way to give It. In their daily
associations they see able-bodied men
Of good standing out Of work aud hun
cry and, worse than that, with hungry
wives and children behind them.
These don't want charity. They
want work. The city has plenty Of
work that ought to be done, but has
not been done because the city had not
the ready money.
Now let Council, taking up the sug-
gestion made yesterday by the Board Of
Commissioner, order the work done at
once, carry the expense over to next
year and then negotiate a loan. There
will not be the slightest difficulty en-
countered 10 doing this, and it will be
one OF the best loans Wheeling ever
made.
An appropriation Of $4,000 would, It
is estimated, give work to 600 or zoo
men, who are willing TO work but are
now idle and they and their families
destitute through no fault Of theirs.
Council should be called in special
session as soon as possible aud the work
ordered at once. 10 will be a noble act.

great benefit to the pig iron Industry IN
Eastern Pennsylvania. The cost OF iron
in England must increase from year to
year, because the price Of coal in England
is steadily advancing The average price
Of coal in England for the past two years
has been 81 and upward ton. They have
exhausted every other means OF reducing
cost. With our cheap fuel, whenever we
can get our raw materials on the same oasis
as England gets them to-day, we will take
many Of their foreign market from them
Our market is now restricted TO our
home consumption and our production
is far beyond our needs. The result is
shut downs, lockouts, reductions in
wages, strikes and stagnation nearly
half the wear. With our market broad
ened by free raw material this surplus
and more would be disposed Of in for
eign markets. Even now we are ex-
porting to some extent in competition
with England. The Pittsburg Post
shows that our exports of pig iron for
the eight months ending with August
last were Is, 142 tons, or double the cor
responding period Of 1892. Our total
exports Of iron and steel products dur
ing these eight months amounted in
value to $50, 100, ATS, an increase Of
s3, 900, 900 over the corresponding
months Of the previous year. While at
this rate our exports of iron and steel
would amount to about SOS, 900, 900 per
annum, the exports Of Great Britain
amount to $3.50, OOO, 600 That is the
trade a liberal commercial policy will
enable us to divide with our great rival.

CONCENTRATION or WEALTH.

As a result Of thirty years Of Repub-
lican rule and Capitalization, and
enormous taxation Of the masses for
the benefit Of the few we nave 3-lOO Of
one per cent. of our population owning
twenty per cent. Of the country's
wealth. The aggregate OF wealth
owned by the Il, $50, l5s families in the
United States is 500, 1000, OOO 600. Mr..
GEORGE X. HOLMES, the statistician,
thus analyses the distribution Of this
wealth.
We are now prepared 10 characterize the
concentration Of wealth in the United
States by stating that 20 per cent Of 10 is
owned 0y 3-l00 of I per cent Of the fami-
lies; 81 per cent. bv 9 per cent OF the fami-

About % per cent Of the wealth is owned
bv the poorer families that own farms or
homes without incumbrauCe, and these are
2S per cent of all the families. Only per
cent Of the wealth is owned by tenant
families and the poorer class OF those that
own their farms or homes under lncum'

IRON AND STEEL IN the NEW BILL.

IRON AND STEEL IN THE NEW BILL.
The Pennsylvania steel combine is
making some very absurd misrepre-
sensations regarding the iron and steel
schedule ofthe wilson UiH. There 10
90 article in that schedule that suffers
beyond the line laid down By the Re-
publican platform as the just limit Of
protection, which MCKINLEY did not
adhere to because the trusts and COM
bines, the creditors Of the Republican
party, ms isted, and were allowed, each
20 frame It's own schedule to suit itself.
The Wilson bill, in all cases, considers
'the difference between wages abroad
aud al home"
Commissioner Of Statistics CARROLL
d. WRIGHT, during RARBIsoN's admin
istratioD, after exhaustive investiga-
tion in Europe and the United States,
reported the difference in the labor cost
OF producing a ton Of steel rails to be
s3.7s. At the present price the Wilson
biu fixes an al valorem rate, which is
equivalent to $500 a ton, or S122 more
than the Republican platform itself de-
manded: add s.. so 5 ton freight charges,
and foreign rails cannot be laid down
in this country for within 81 so Of the
first cost. Mr. GEORGE f. BAEB
President Of the Reading Iron Com
uauy. makes the following candid an
slysls of the metal schedule Of the VIII
son bin in the Philadelphia Ledger,
paper:
The iron schedule OF the Wilson bill,
saws Mr. Baer, is remarkable IN this, that
contrary TO general expectation, the duties
proposed are practically prOhibitory. On
duisled products the general rate Is 80 per
cent. In England finished iron is selling
40 about S34 per ton. The last quotation
.n Pfttsburg was IS 50. The price here is /
about s3l. You see, therefore, that the
price in England is as high as 10 is IN this
country, and that duty OF 80 per cent is
DrohibitOry The whole truth Is that there
IS very little difference IN the price OF
English and American iron.
Bessemer pig is the same price in both
countries. MiddlesbOrOugh pig iron is a

There can be no general prosperity

suggested by Mr.. HOLMES is a progress
slye or graded tax on individual in
comes. gifts aud inheritances. This is
all right so far as it goes and would be
just aud equitable, but, first, we should
relieve the people Of the burdensome
and unequal taxation which has been
one Of the primary causes of this con-
centration of wealth. 1t will be her
culean task, but it must be accom- plish-

TaE PARTISAN HAWAII BLUE
It is evident from Mr.. CHARLES
NORDHoFF's communication that Pres
idsnt HARRISON was grossly misled by
Minister STEVENS and the Hawaiian
Annexation Commissioners regarding
the revolution" in Honolulu year
ago.
"Had the facts then been represented
to the government at Washington as
they were afterward revealed, " says the
New York Herald, "and have since
been embodied in the report Of Mr..
BLoUNr, a treaty for aunexing the ISL
ands could not have been rushed into
the Senate as it was nor the annexation
humbug sprung on the country"
That President HARRISON speedily
recognized that he had been humbugged
in this matter is evident from mis- repu-
diation Of Minister STEVENS act in
taking the naval forces OF the United
States ashore before the lawful govern
ment had been overturned, and in flying
the flag Of the United States at the gov
eminent house as if we had annexed
the Islands or established q protectorate
over them without the consent Of the
people Of Hawaii or with authority. by
Congress. President HARRISON, it is
generally forgotten by malignant as
sailants Of Mr., CLEVELAND, repudiated
this act Of STEVENS and ordered him
TO lower the flag. The then acting Sec
Rotary Of State wrote to Mr.. STEVENS
explicitly disavowing his conduct.
Not one statement OF Mr.. BLoUNT's
report has been diSproYen. The
present Administration has been
open and above board. Con-
gress has all the essential in
formation that anyone has and Mr..
CLEVELAND has promised to lay the
whole case before Congress as soon as
possible.
In view OF these facts the attitude Of
Senator HoAR and other reckless parti-
sans in attacking the President, and
even going so far as to hint Of impeach-
ing him, shows a lack of patriotism and
an intensity of partisanshiD that are
not paralleled in the history of any other
nation on earth. A true patriot would
feel humiliation and regret if HoAB's
false assertions regarding the policy Of
the country's Chief Executive were
true, while HoAR gleefully rubs his
hands over the opportunity to make
political capital By falsehood and mis-
representation at mis- country's expense.
His sole aim is to embarass q Demo-
cratic administration.
