The Amusing Spectacle.

A dispatch from Washington gives
the following account of a recent oc
currence:
The spectacle presented to-day Of
begging the Ways and Means Com
mittec not to do what they had in
structed Congress to do, by theil
votes, was both amusing and disgust
ing. A Pennsylvania operator who
was in the room said: Eyes, there
they come. After yelling free trade
for 364 days in the year they get down
on their stomachs and crawl before the
Ways and Means Committee, begging
to be protected from the result of their
own dod-rotted idiocy."
Were it not that so many hundreds
of thousands of American citizens are
dependent on the coal industries, the
Republicans feel that they would be
justified in giving these fool Demo
Gratis in Virginia, West Virginia, and
Maryland an object lesson in tariff re-
form. The duty will remain on coal,
it is more than probable, as the Presi.
dent is said to be interested i'll some
Virginia mines, and in the six coun-
ties embraced in Chairman Wilson S
own district, in West Virginia there
are ), 900 or 1000 coal miners, sup
porting population of 90, 600, who
would be the first to feel the removal
of the tariff.
Gov MacCorkle, of West Virginia,
was the best witness from a Republi-
can standpoint that appeared. He
made a gfaudiloquent address in
which he warned the Democrats OF
the committee that if they tempered
with the duty on coal. his State would
leave the Democratic ranks. 1T act
ed as a buffer between the North and
the South during the war;" he said,
land will act as buffer between the
two political parties if you take the
duty off her coal, J."
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1893-09-30

If anything more were necessary to
prove that a reduction of the tariff
means increased importations Of for
eign goods, the following, from such
good Democratic authority as the
Philadelphia Re6oya, should settle the
matter:
While reducing protective duties on
manufactures with moderation and
care, there would be no danger that
Congress would fail to provide sufIi-
cient revenue One of the avowed
objects of the Mckinley tariff was to
destroy revenue by raising the rates
of duty The effect of an opposite
policy is obvious.
Thus we have the Democratic idea
Of increased importations. which, at
lower rate of duty, will afford more
revenue to the Government, but give
less work and lower wages to Ameri-
lean workingmen by destroying the
market for American products.

The President of the United States
is Democrat The Senate is Demo
cratic by a majority of 5. The House
is Democratic by majority of 81.
Congress was convened in extraordi.
nary session to repeal the Sherman
law. Congress has been in session
six weeks. The Republican minority,
unwisely, as we think, has been pre-
pared to vote for repeal of the Sher-
man act at any hour of any day since
Congress first assembled. The Sher-
man act is not yet repealed, and the
Democratic apologists for this Demo
cratic dereliction are screaming that
the Republican minority prevents the
passage of the repeal bill. Do they
take the people for fools.

vention. President Chauncey F. Black,
In calling the assembly to order, made
a speech in which he dwelt upon the

locally and nationally, opening with
tribute to National Chairman Harrity.
