People must earn their bread and
butter in sunshine and in rain, in
storm and calm. We might have
dragged on another twelvemonth in
the same mire that we have wallowed
in for Is months, and yet have been
no nearer victory. The unprincipled
Trust that has had the National Leg
islature by the throat ever since the
tariff will went into the Senate would
not let go its hold by mere lapse of
time, since its profits were as great
under the Mckinley act as under
the Senate continuance, If not great
err For this reason we have no cen
sure for those members of the House
who finally decided to accept the
Senate amendments. The bill that
has finally passed is considerable
improvement on the Mckinley tariff.

The charge from uncertainty te
certainty, from shifting sand to solid
ground, has been, at last, secured,
and now our manufacturers, oul
merchants and our capitalists gener-
ally can once more resume operations
Admitting that conditions are less
favorable than they were under the
Mckinley law, it must also be ad
mitted that they are much more ia
vorable under the Senate bill than
they would have been under that oil
the House. Other conditions are
favorable to the early resumption Of
active business. The warehouses oil
our manufacturers and the store
houses of our merchants are practi-
cally empty. They will have to be
retilled. There are 65,000,000 OF
people whose wants will have to be
supplied; the natural wealth of the
country was never greater than al
present; it will have to be developed
and under fixed economic conditions
it will be. The adaptabi.ity of the
American people to circumstances,
their enterprise and courage, are so
invincible that, having certain sta
BILE basis for business-no matter
what it may be assured them, they
will again go to work producing,
buying and selling, planting reap
ing, digging delving and developing
the inexhaustible resources of ma
tional prosperity.

This welcome tide of better times
is expected to get in not so much be-
cause Of the changes in the tariff,
made by the bill which has now
passed both houses of Congress, as
because the agitation and suspense
which have hung over the country
for year have at last been removed
The inevitable effect of the uncer-
tainty as to what changes would be
made in the tariff system was to
handicap financial, commercial and
industrial activity and cause dull
times. The dispelling of this uneer-
tainty and consequent suspense
must as inevitably clear the way to
a revival Of prosperity. In addition
to this, the law itself which has been
enacted will afford the country nc
little relief from the burdens, and
blighting effects of Mckinley pro
lection.

Tariff Question Settled.

The passage of the Wilson tariff
bill settles the tariff policy of this
government, not only for this year
or next year, or for this administra-
ton, but for all time to come, re-
CARELESS of the mutations of politics.
There will be tariff changes made as
new necessities and variations in
business arise, but the policy of the
Wilson tariff bill will never be de.
parted from in the future unless it
be to reduce tariff duties.
On this point all intelligent citi-
zens should be well advised, and all
intelligent manufacturers who are
looking to government protection
should well understand the true sit
uation. There will be violent com
plant from those who are disap.
pointed in the change of the tariff
policy Of the government, and there
will be bombastic buster from high
tariff organs, but the people of the
country have settled the question
for all time against taxing the mass
es fol- the benefit Of classes, and il
can never be renewed by any party
i'm the future. No matter what par
tJ shall control the next admins
tration Of this government there
will he no material departure from
the tariff policy established BY the
Wilson bill.-I'hsladelphia Times.

Profit and Loss of the Senate Bill.

In spite of the natural and justi-
fable disgust with which all true
friends of tariff reform regard the
results of the perfdy of the Demo
cratic traitors in the Senate, it is
well to bear in mind that
even the wreck of the Wilson bill,
which promises to be our tariff law
for some time to come, retains some
features of merit Although falling
far short of the objective point of it's
trainers, both in detail and principle,
it is still step in the direction of
the end in view, and it will relieve
the people of this country of a large
measure of the burden imposed upon
them by the Mckinley act and effect
more equitable distribution of the
tariff taxes.
There are LOG additions to the
free list by the tariff bill; on seven
items the reductions from Mckinley
rates range from rs to 100 per cent;
on liz articles there are reductions
of so to rs per cent; the duties on
about $50 items are scaled down %
to so per cent from existing rates,
and ON $50 items there are reductions
of 25 per cent and less. 1t will be
seen from these few facts that the
"half loaf" which the obstructive
Senators deemed sufficient for the
hungry country is mainly what they
left of the Wilson bill. Were it pos
sible now to impress the Democratic
Senators with the obligations as
sumed by their pledges to their con-
stituents so that they might speedi-
ly pass the four free-list bills which
have already been acted upon by the
House, the pledges of the Democrat
ic party would be largely redeemed
and the party enabled to go before
the country with confidence. Its
candidates would at least deserve if
they did not meet with success.

They want a Victim.

1t is announced that the Republi-
can congressional delegates from
Berkeley county, w. Va, are unani-
nous for Hon. Stephen B. Elkins
as the opponent of Hon. VIM. L.
Wilson, whose unanimous renomina-
tion by the Democrats of the second
district is conceded. Mr. Elkins is
generally accredited with the pos
session of "barrel," indeed several
of them, and it is possible it is this
possession which has turned the
eyes of the Berkeley Republicans to-
wards him. But Mr.. Elkins is also
credited with being a sharp politi-
clan and man Of large amount of
common sense. Such being the case
it is not probable he can be induced
to make the canvass against Mr..
Wilson. He knows that the scalps
of number of able and popular Re
publicans are already to Mr.. Will
sons credit and he will hardly have
the hardihood to tackle the great
tariff reformer, whose constituents
are enthusiastic over the national
reputation he has achieved as the
Democratic leader in the House.

A tariff bill that lifts the tax en-
tirely from wool, lumber, flax, hemp,
jute, salt, copper and cotton ties, and
cuts in two the duty on coal and
iron ore, is not to be altogether de-
spised The average rate on dutia-
BILE articles under the Mckinley act
was 1888 per cent. Under the Cor
man bill it is 36.6S per cent. This
will count for millions of dollars
saved in the yearly cost of living.
The German bill, short as it is of
reasonable public expectation, even
in it's worst features is an improve
ment on the tariff act it displaces.

WEST VIRGINIA CROP BULLETIN.
Weather and Crop Report for the Week
Ending August 90.

GENERAL SUMMARY: During the
week generally clear to partly cloudy
weather existed, with warm days
and cool nights and rains on the Is
and 10. In northern, central and
western counties the dry conditions
continued up to the 10Th when the
worst drouth in many years was
practically broken by good soaking
rains that were fairly general over
the entire State. While the rains
came too late to materially benefit
crops in the drouth affected districts
yet some improvement is confidently
looked for. Water is now more
plentiful and streams have risen
somewhat. In counties other than
where the drouth prevailed crops
made fair progress.
CEREALS AND GRASSES: The rain
was very opportune for buckwheat,
and, where not too far gone, pastures
also derived benefit. Bey ond doubt
the rain came too late to save or even
improve hill corn, which was in very
bad shape; on bottom land, however,
it is expected that the rains will
prove immensely beneficial to the
crop. The foregoing applies more
especially to the drouth affected
districts, as in eastern and southern
counties corn has continued in a un-
iformly fair condition. In Preston
and Summers counties the prospect
for good yield of buckwheat is
very fiattering. Wheat and oats
continue to thresh out fairly well, in
some counties both crops are stand
ard yield.
VEGETABLES: The rains have help
ed cabbage considerably. Turnips
did not do very we'll during the week.
Tomatoes rotting some. In eastern
counties gardens are reported in
good conditions; from northern,
western and central counties reports
are not so favorable, though some
improvement is looked for on ac-
count of rains late in week over dis
tricts mentioned. Taken as an av-
erage potatoes are yielding fairly
well, though many exceptions are
noted where the drouth was severe.
Onions fair crop. Beans and Gu
cumbers little short, reported to
be an entire failurein Calhoun coun-
ty.
FRUiTs: Apples dropping, especial
ly winter varieties. Grapes good.
Fruit generally revived somewhat
by the rain.
MISCELLANEOUS: Chestnuts prom
Use a large yield. Tobacco made
but little progress and is light.
Farmers are busy blowing stubble
and other ground for wheat.
