HE MAY LOSE HIS SEAT.
Then the Tariff Chairman May Be
Made Judge.

1t is not at all impossible that
Chairman Wilson, of the Ways and
Means Committee. will step from Con-
gress to the bench. The change, if it
comes, will be due entirely to the
fact that in the new tariff bill coal will
be found upon the free list.
1t is no secret that the feeling in
West Virginia is decidedly in favor of
retaining duty upon COAL one of the
principal products Of that State. This
opinion is so strong that Gov Mac
Corkle, who was candidate on low
tariff platform, came to Washington
to see if he could not induce the COM
nittee to refrain from laying violent
hands upon the item of COAL 1t did
not need his warning, however, to
convince Representative Wilson that
any West Virginian who voted for
free coal would run the risk of de-
capitated political career. Mr. Will
son, in course of time, made known
his position and his fears of the Presi-
dent He said that it would be politi-
cal suicide for him to place coal on
the free list, and he pointed out that
he had no ambition except to end his
career in the Senate. This hope, he
explained, he might as we'll abandon
| if he ran counter to the wishes of his
people in the matter of duty on coal.
The President, according to the
story now current, took the position
that the chairman of the committee
could not show to himself consider
alton which he would not show to 9th
ers, and he insisted that coal should
go upon the free list. He promised,
however, ifMr Wilson fell a martyr
to the cause, to see that he was not
4 left uncared for, and it is generally
understood that the President had in
mind the place on the bench left va
cant by the death of Judge Bond.
Such position would be agreeable to
Mr.. Wilson, who, it may not gener-
ally be known, was an applicant for
the position of chief justice of the
Court of Appeals of this District. 1t
SO happened, however, that Senator
Faulkner was pressed for the same
place and Mr.. Cleveland solved the
problem by appointing a Maryland
| Judge Washington Post.

The Forums Reduction of Price.


The Forum, which its readers re-
gard as the foremost of our periodicals
reduces its price, beginning with the
December number, from S.. to S.. a
year, from so cents to rs cents copy.
This is the most noteworthy reduction
in periodical literature that has taken
place-perhaps that can take place.
Magazines of fiction and adventure,
the illustrated monthlies, were within
everybody's reach even before the re-
cent reduction in price of some of them.
But no periodical of the class of The
Forum has ever been sold for rs cents.
1t becomes the cheapest by half of all
great reviews in the world, and it re-
mains the largest of all our periodi-
Gals of its kind, and its character is in
no way changed.
This reduction of price puts The
Forum easily within the reach of every
reader who cares for it-of every-man
and woman who desires o keep
abreast of the times. The extent to
which this reduction will add to popu-
lar education on great subjects is in
ealculable. The ablest articles by the
foremost writers are now at less than
two cents each, The December num-
Der, for example, contains the follow
ing sixteen articles. "Are Presiden-

When the Republican campaign or
ators told thousands or more miners
that to vote for Cleveland and VIM l..
Wilson was to vote for free coal, and
declared to the farmers it meant IRE
wool, and the lumbermen that it
meant free lumber, they disbelieved
the orator and said it was political
claptrap and didn't mean any such
thing. They are now more able to
judge who were sincere in their utter
ances, and whether these reductions
in tariff mean more work in the mines
and a higher price for wool, or bet
ter market for their lumber.

1t is quite clear that ex-President
Harrison is a candidate for renomina-
ton; that the machinery which gave
him the nomination last year is being
put in order, and that he believes his
tory will repeat itself in his case as
with Cleveland. He hopes to hold
the South which is not possible SO far
rs this State is concerned, and if we
mistake not he will find a like condi-
ton in other Southern States as we'll.
The wedge that is to burst the Solid
South is Protection, and the leader is
already chosen by the masses of the
people, who are enthusiastically in
favor of the Napoleon of Protection
William Mckinley, of the United
States.

AMONG HIS ANCESTORS.
Prof. Garner Thinks tie Has Learned
the Monkey Language.

Prof Garner who went from Amer
lea into the interior of Africa for the
purpose of studying the methods of
communication between the monkey
language, arrived at Liverpool on his
return last Tuesday. He claims that
he has established beyond a doubt
that there is monkey language and
that it can be learned by man. He
brought with him from Africa two
Kulu Kamba chimpauzees, with which
he is able to communicate.
Prof. Garner states that he stayed
for IoI days in his cage which he had
carried into the heart of forest ESQ
miles inland. This cage was a mas
sive affair that was chained to trees.
In it Prof Garner would lock himself
and then await the coming of men,
bers of the ape family, when he would
try to communicate with them by
means of the sounds he had learned
from monkeys in America and else
where. He has with him a photo
graph, with which he kept a record of
the sounds made by his visitors. He
claims that his visit to Africa was a
great success III establishing his
theory that the monkey family has
language.

Vim. l.. Wilson gave the people of
West Virginia who voted for him a
hard hit when he declared in his
tariff bill that coal, wool, and lumber
shall be free. These are smashing
times, sure enough. But how the
wreckers of our interests can expect to
bring prosperity out Of low wages,
less work in the mines, smaller profit
on their wool, and no market for their
lumber is a problem that free trade
alone will have to solve and Wilson
will yet have to explain.

Yes, "our esteemed contemporary
around the corner" will wait until
experience bears fruition." because we
are "obleged" to do so, but the "frui-
ton" will be sad one unless all ex-
perience, all history, is false. Here
tofore every reduction of the tariff
has brought ruin to the American
people. Allow us to cite our friend to
the period from 1877 to 1924, to the
panics of 1857, 1857, and 1873 all sup
perinduced. if not caused by reduction
in the tariff, and to the panic of 1850,
caused by the fear of free trade. Much
as we dislike to view disasters that are
sure to come, if the Wilson iniquity is
framed into law, we will wait, not
patiently, however.

AS an indication of the unpopular
ty of the course pursued by the Ad-

it is significant that the Blount report

he will not tax the income of the mil

Those Democrats who hug the de-
lusive hope that the tariff question
was last year decided adversely to pro-
lection are welcome to all the pleas
ure it affords. 1t is fact, abundant
1y proven by the recent elections, that
the tariff was not really an issue last
year. The people considered this mat
ter settled and were careless and in
different. There was opposition to
to the Republican administration, the
ticket was not satisfactory to or
ganized labor, ex-soldiers were indif-
ferent, and general apathy prevailed.
Mr.. Cleveland lacked a million votes
of majority and at least million
protectionists voted for him in the be-
lief that the Senate would be Repub-
lican as it was during his former ad-
ministration. Their foresight was not
good and they can be depended upon
in the future to rally to the standard
of protection.
