Must Treat Itself Right.


The Hyndman (Pa.) Bulletin thinks
that ga full stop" cuts off the things
predicated from the predicate.
1t says:
In recent issue of the Bulletin we stated that
the Mills Bill would be the basis upon which
the new tariff measure would be modelled
and then after full stop, or period, as it was
called in brother Oders school days, stated
that some of the details of the proposed
measure were Z: free raw material, tariff of
one cent per pound on sugar, free wool, free
lumber, free coal, and reduction in the duty
on many other articles.
In this case "the full stop fills no
such Office as the Bulletin alleges.
If the Wilson bill is to be ''mOdeled'
after the Mills bill, no such provision
as free coal, for instance, can possibly
be made. There cannot be even a
reduction of the duty on coal.
If, on the other hand, coal is made
free of duty, or the duty is reduced,
then the Mills bill is literally neither
"basis" nor "model."
Whatever the model" may be, the
"basis" of operative reform must be
the Mckinley Act.
1t is greatly to be feared that the
Bulletin did not before know that the
Mills bill did not provide for free coal,
and that it now seeks to veil its de-
linquency in a fortuitous but gauzy at
tempt to impeach its own rhetoric.
In testimony whereof we will re-
quote its language:
The Mills Bill, it is said, will be the basis
upon which the new tariff measure will be
modelled. Free raw material, a tariff of
about cent per pound on sugar, free wool,
free lumber, free coal reduction of from
one-half to threefourths in the duty on many
other artces-these are some of the details of
the proposed measure.
If any intelligent reader will say
that the latter sentence in any sense
or degree alters or modifies the former,
we will give it up.
The former is the general, the latter
the particular statement of the lines
of the Mills bill along which the Wilson
bill will travel.
Perhaps this matter does not call
for so much attention, but the JOUR
NAL likes the Bulletin too well to per-
nit it
l, To impose upon its innocent
readers a mistake, and
2, In lieu of acknowledgment of
error, to attempt to mar the elegance
and destroy the accuracy of its own
diction.

We think the JOURNAL slightly disin-
genuous when it insists that if New England
did not want free coal the duty would not be
in danger. 1t cannot show that any New
England manufacturer has made such de-
mand of the Ways and Means committee,
while it cannot have forgotten that western
democrat has a bill now on the calendar
which places coal on the free lst.-Cumber-
land Nems.
With all his gall, the "New England
manufacturer does not ask directly for
free coal.
Consequently he is not to be accused
of telling all his wishes to the com
mittee.
The JOURNAL gets at his warm de-
sire for free coal through his news
papers, which are just as unanimous
ly loyal to the home industries that
are at home as those that are in Allie
gany county.
Unlike some of ours, however, they
don't care snap for those home in
dustries that are not at home.
The western democrat, more con-
sistent than the New Highlander, is
the victim of real grievance in that
he protests against paying a tax which
government does not levy on him.
That is why he wants the tariff on
coal abolished.
The JOURNAL will admit dlsingen-
uousness whenever it can be iufallibly
shown that the manufacturing inter
ests do not want free coal.
The JOURNAL has assured the miners
of this region more than once that
they will never have another fight
against their employers; that all
future contests for wages will be
against the consumers Of coal.
Miners, they are now after you, and
your only hope of salvation rests in
the gospel of a tariff for revenue only !!

Under a Tariff for Revenue Coal
Cannot be Free.

The JOURNAL commends to thought
full readers the articles elsewhere
printed entitled 1.-THE Duty on Vel
yeteen" and 1.-The Free List
The one shows how the price of
really cheap trimming is kept up by
vicious attempt to sustain by govern
ment aid high priced industry.
The other shows beyond controversy,
as before argued in this paper, that
under tariff for revenue only, other
wise known as an ad calorem tariff,
there can be no free list.
A tariff so laid is for the support of
government.
A free list under that system would
be as much of monstrosity as special
ly high protection is under the current
regime. 1t would distinctly favor in
the opposite nag and to a similar extent
those who are now pampered by undue
partially.
Coal on the free list under revenue
tariff, II such provision were possible,
would be handed over body and soul
to the New England manufacturers.
Government would not only get no
revenue from coal but it would meas
urably destroy the use and value of its
own coal resources.
But with all foreign competition
equitably taxed, coal would pay its
share of revenue, government would
get its dues and mining obtain more
protection than it enjoys now.
Under tariff tor protection, how
ever, inequalities and injustices, cul
minating in that climacteric contra
diction-a free list, are indispensable.
A tax on foreign commodities for
protection only must be mnequally laid.
II 1t were equal, nothing could be
protected for projections sake.

1t may serve to indicate, too, to
the Cumberland Netrs the attitude of
the true democracy of West Virginia
toward the tariff on coal:
1t is an amazing thing to us that any one
can believe that coal is protected by the
present tariff, when over million dollars
revenue was derived from it last year, and
when foreigners can now pay the tariff and
sell their coal cheaper in our markets than
our producers can do

Enquirer" asks the Cumberland
Neus-
If a panic followed the decentralization of
silver in 1878, how does it happen that the
same thing occurs in 1898 as result of legisla-
ton that has given monthly addition of
100000 in silver to the national currency
in circulation?
And the Neaos replies:
Candidly, we don't know. Such questions
would upset the political philosophy of any
one except Senator Voorhees,, to whom your
inquiry might be addressed.
There may be something in the fact
that although three millions of silver
is added ''to the national currency"
it is not added to the circulation"
What good is circulation that does
not "circulate 2"
What effect will three buckets of
water monthly have on an ocean of
stagnation
The additions merely reinforce the
harmfulness of currency that is
already too plentiful to be current.
But what are we to think of the con-
fessed ignorance of the Neaos-a paper
that has had so many predictions
verified, and still sees in the signs and
wonders of the Ways and Means COM
mittee room the presages of ruin?
What manner or amount of faith can
we pin to foresight when hindsight
fails ?

1t is gratifying to know that so many
Delawareans who have visited the fair have
found our state building such a pleasant

opinion of the generous hospitality and
good cheer that are given to all who enter

terms of the building and its superinten
dents:
zone place l did seek daily, which ought
to be of interest to all Delawareans, was the
Delaware building. l am very agreeably
surprised with it. Though not very large
it is one of the prettiest of all state build
ings. 1t is furnished plainly but comfor-
tably. hrs. Churchman and Miss Bacon,
two members of our state board, have
charge of it. and their kindness and cor
diality make one feel at once at home. 1
