Loyal Legion or american Women.
1t does not require tho mind Of
statesman or of an expert financial
economist to know that the more Of .
certain commodity is bought abroad the
less will be bought at home. II, for
example, duties are put down so that
more foreign pottery may come in, less
American pottery will be made.
II home consumers are induced to
buy moro statfordshire ware they will
buy less Wheeling ware. II less Wheel
ing ware be made there is less employ
ment and there must be less money for
the Wheeling potters, This is clear
enough for the dullost understanding.
With these thoughts in their minds
certain Of the good women OF Wheeling
are fired with the spirit OF rs, which
resolved against British imports and
gave loyal support to homespun COM
moditics.
This is a good time to revive that
truly American spirit, and it would be
crest honor for the women of Wheel
is=if they were to go down to history
as starting a successful movement for
the defense OF the American home.
Let us have the Loyal Legion of
American Women marching under thu
banner OF Protection TO tho American
Home.

Tho Colored Race In The South.
In the convention OF colored men as
sembled in Cincinnati. Bishop Turner,
speaking OF the treatment OF his race in
the south, said: III Africa, hell, or
any other place, offers anything to bet
ter the condition OF the American negro,
l advise him to grasp the opportunity
and migrate to the place making such
offer"
This is intense language to come from
man of Bishop Turner'S standing. 1t
is drawn fIom him by an intensely hard
condition of Affairs. In the south col
ored men have been subjected to about
all the tortures that rude men can de-
wise on the instant. These things are
said to be done because cotored men
give way to a british propensity of
which white women are the victims.
1t is strange that they did not de.
velop this deviltry in the war time,
when, in the absence Of white men in
the Confederate army, they became not
only the bread-winners for the women
aud children left at home, but their
protectors as well. The bearing Of the
colored men Of tho south-the hondmen
OF the men who were fighting to hold
them in bondage-is one oil tho most
beautiful chapters in history. War de-
moralizes, but it did not demoralize out
OF the black men of the south the trust
worthiness, the loyalty to honor, the
real chivalry that was in them. 1t is
strange that the same race has devel-
oped quite opposite qualities on the
same soil.
OF courae nobody ever thinks that
there has been another side Of this
question, when the black men OF the
south cav the women OF their race, OF
their own humble households, COM
PEELED to submit to that for which black
men are now burnt at the stake. AS
suredly two wrongs DO not make
right; but perhaps, after all, the fond
ish passion which the white men of tho
south are Furnishing. or protesting TO
BIO Furnishing, as African, is simply
human, or inhuman, according to cir
cumstances.
Its not urged in behalf OF the denial
Of the right OF suffrage to the black men
Of the south, of the hard pressure that
is put on them generally, that all this
is another form OF punishment for the
crime that causes them to be hanged
from a tree limb or burnt at tho stake.
These things must be explained in some
other way.

With both government credit and ma
tional currency hanging on a strong
treasury reserve, Mr.. Wilson reduces re:
ceipts already too low to meet outgo and
makes no provision to meet a deficit,
known Tor this year and certain next.
1t is easy TO see why. Sugar has been
dropped as n source OF revenue. For
the same reason tea and coffee cannot
be taxed. Mr.. Wilson proposes to
bring Congress face to face with an i'm,
pending deficit, an empty treasury aud
a shaken curroncy,-so as to be able I'M

The difference between the two great
political parties of the republic in rela:.
ton to the tariff issue is merely one OF
tendencies. The Democratic party
tends toward FREQ trade, but gives open
manifestation Of that tendency only in
an enlargement OF the free list and in
reducing duties which are intended
rather to protect home industries than
to raise revenue. The Republican party
tends toward n prohibitory protective
tariff, but indicates this tendency only
by curtailing the free list and by in
creasing existing duties and imposing
new duties with the object OF fostering
Or creating American industries, while
at the same time raising the necessary
revenue.

The evil wrought by this iil.judgod

less comforts for the family. The say

From a mere partisan point OF view
the Republican party has everything to
gain by the passage OF tho Wilson bill;
the Democratic party would then DO re-
duced to the condition OF feeble OPP
position, thus to remain for another
generation at least.
This would be distinct gain to the
country, which after the next election
would have the assurance OF steadily
maintained system OF protection to home
industries, and on this solid rock every
industry would rebuild.
In this highest view OF the public
welfare tho Wilson bill would be a bless
ing in disguise. But what OF the terri
bic cost-thc ruin OF industries, wantin
the homes of the willing waEe-earnors
OF our country, the slow recovery from
commercial exhaustion?
The price is too great, and there Is
reason TO hope that the eyes OF the
country arc already oponei enough to
move i. to save itself without going
through the agony OF free trade night
mare.
It's a present danger Let it be met
with all the weapons now at hand and
ii possible defeated. Ii that provo to
be saving grace for the Democratic
party, let the Democratic party have its
advantage out Of it.
Our country and our countrymen
first and always. Parties must take
care OF themselves or so under.

The pic.skin In Wheeling.

Tho first big football game in Wheel
ing drew finely, and although the score
was decidedly one-sided against Wheel
ing, the people enjoyed the we'll con.
tested game.
In foot ball the score does not by any
means show all tho play. Tho Wheel
ing team did well, but the Martins
Ferry boys did better and richly de.
served their victory and all the APP
plarse that went with it.
Next time it is to be hoped that the
crowd may not be allowed to move in so
close to the ball field, for this cuts off
the view Of the greater number, who
are satisfied to keep their distance.
Moreover it invites outside interference
with the game.
