REVIVAL OF BUSINESS.
Passage of the Tariff Bill Already
Causes Many Orders to Flow in
at Pittsburg.
SLIGHT WAGE REDUCTION
Alleged to Be Necessary to Fit the
Changed Conditions---Scales Pro-
vide For This.

P1rTsBURe, Pa, Aug. 15.-The pass
age of the tariff bill has already made
itself felt in this district by marked
revival il business. Stocks in all lines
of manufacture had been reduced to a
minimum, especially in iron, steel and
glass. During the day several large
orders were received by many manufac-
turers and many more are expected. In
some lines of business, the demand be-
gan as soon as the passage of the tariff
bill was assured, and the telegraph
wires were kept busy all night.
Slight Wage Reduction.
1t is asserted that slight reduction
in wages will be necessary in the case
OF glass workers, tin plate men and
workmen in some branches of iron and
steel trade, but this has been conceded,
the sales generally allowing for reduc.
tions to fit tariff reduction. The dispute
will be over the size of the cuts.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-There will be
no fight between Corbett and Jackson.
The two heavyweights met during the
afternoon and called each other buffers
and finally declared all negotiations
looking toward a meeting between the
swo off. The two men met at Jackson's
room in the Grand Union hotel, Corbett
going there, accompanied by Manager
Brady, on receipt of word from Jackson
that he could not meet the champion
until a later day. The request for de-
lay angered Corbett and he proceeded at

room to where jackson was sitting,
Corbett said to him:
II want to fight you. Come, now,
get down to business"

Jackson.

the other a ''bluffer.'

call you a liar," said Corbett, when
Jackson said he did not want to fight.

there and refused. Finally they could
not agree on any place in the North
where they could fight and declared
everything off, and, shaking hands,

Argus Leader: Will the Republicans
endorse free coinage of silver at the
Yankton convention?
They will probably do as the Dem.
ocratic party has so frequently done in
states where there was strong silver
sentiment-they will straddle. But that
will not indicate that the Republican
party of South Dakota is free silver
party any more than the Chicago plat
form was an indication that the Dem
ocratic party is opposed to protection.
The greatest object lesson upon the hy-
procisy of political platforms is just now
on exhibition in Washington, and we
don't wonder the state organ tries to
divert attention from it.

Well, the valiant tariff reformers OF
the lower house, notwithstanding the
stalwart backing Of the President, have
been forced to lie down before the stub
born boodlers OF the senate, backed up
hy the sugar trust. In taking his med
icine in the house caucus yesterday,
reformer Wilson made the following
assertion:
The sugar trust has the people by the
throat and it is now a battle between
the people and this great monopoly.
A bluff Is to be made in the way OF
trying to pass separate bills to reach
sugar, coal and iron ore, but no one
expects anything to come of them
after this humiliating surrender of the
Democratic party Of all its pretensions
toward tariff reform.

ELUCIDATED BY HOLDEN.
Why the Populist Party is Not a Party of
Reform.

EMPoR1A, Kan, Aug. 15.-E. J. Hol-
den. formerly president Of the Citizens
alhance, AMI author Of several works on
the financial question, has new work
In press here, advance sheets of which
were seen by an Associated Press re-
porter. In it he denounces the attitude
OF the Populist party towards reform,
claiming that it can accomplish no good
because it is not organized and because
Its creed is defective, and which he says
must be rejected by intelligent voters;
that the attitude Of the party leaders is
such as to subject them to suspicion.
LIE severely criticizes the Omaha plat
form as principally consisting Of de-
mands that are impossible Of being
complied with, and that complied with
would only result in making
Bad State of Affairs Worse.
He claims that the non-partisan
Farmers Alliance movement was be-
trayed at the Cincinnati convention
into partisan clique of hunters after
Office, and this, in spite of the protests
of Polk, Powderly, Beaumont and other
true reformers. He declares that their
steps must all be retraced and the work
of independent organizations all gone
over again, and the effort must be made
to hold the balance Of power as inde-
pendent voters instead Of Populists. If
this is done he declares that either or
both of the older parties will cease an
tagonizing what is good in the reform
movement, and that by holding the
balance of power the alliance can elect
such men Of either party as are pledged
to reform movements.
A publishing company has been or.
ganized here to advocate the new move
ment, and a new weekly paper is to be
issued shortly which is to be the official
organ.
