SINCE THE ELECTION.
Republicans Growing Lukewarna In Theal
Support Of McKinlsylsm

Republicans Growing Lukewarm In Their
Support of Mclkinlsylsua.
Day by day the wonder grows Is to
what tho republican party was fight
ing for at the recent election. AL
through the campaign it was pro-
claimed that they were battling for
McKinleyism; and good many Of the
votes which gave the party its phe-
nomenal victory wore undoubtedly
cast in that belief. Since the election,
however, there has been an effort
which almost seems to have been con-
certed to convince the public that
there never was any intention Of re-
storing McKinleyism. At Arst tho
statements were cautiously made and
leaders like Reed and Sherman had to
qualify and explain Whist they said to
prevent too strong an impression 60
ing abroad that the party had been
obtaining votes under false pretsnsss.
OF late the disguise has been wholly
thrown aside and tho confession open
" made that there was no fight f6r
McKlnleyism and that there never
will be any fight for 1t on the part Of
the republican party. T.
The st. Louis obe.Democrak one
Of the ablest organs Of the republican
party, comes out aatfootsd in the mat
tor and ssys that ''whstevsr the out
come may b the republicans will
never frame another Mckinley tsri6."

Mr., H. y. Havemeyer. president Of
the sugar trust, has renewed his at-
tacks on the new tariff Law. He 10
shutting down reflneries, and explains
his action by saying that the refining
business IL suffering from the blight
OF free trade. He adds that II sugar
il put on the free list the business will
be ruined entirely.
We are afraid Mr.. Havemeyer ID put
ting our republican friends into An
embarrassing position. They like to
hear people prating Of the blight Of
free trade. and the temptation 10
strong TO agree with them. They like
to hear II ssid that the Gorman tasiR
IL wreckiug industries and throwing
lsborers out Of employment. It il
their business TO encourage such talk,
and to give II circulation. even whom
they have every reason 70 believe II
wholly untrue. !. sr.s,.5.
In this case, however, there are soms
circumstances that render II inconven.
lent to assent to Mr.. Havsmsyer's ~
sertiona. They have for months been
denouncing the new tarih law % :
trust bill, and with special reference
to the sugar trust. They have Gt,rmed
over and over again that the sugar
trust dictated the sugar schedule.
When It was pointed out that the new
law. while conceding too much To
the trust, was far less favorable to
it than the Mckinley bill, they made
feeble efforts to deny It or else re-
sorted to silence on thst point and to
q reiteration Of the statement that tho
German bill was trust bill. They
predicted that sugar would 60 up and
when 1t went down they said that the
trust was keeping down the price in
order to help the democrats
Now. If our republican friends agree
with Mr.. Havemeyer that the sugar re-
fining business is feeling the blight Of
free trade, how will they explain to
their readers the miles Of labored ed
itorials in which they affirmed that the
sugar trust dictated = tariff for its own
benefit? If, on the other hand, they
refuse to believe what Mr.. Havemeyer
says Of the blight Of free trade, they
discredit the whole class Of their
proteges, who insist that the reduced
tariff is injuring their business. Mr..
Havemeyer IL just as credible as the
others, and II he is not to be believed,
why should we credit similar state
ments from other sources?
The shutting down Of the refineries
is timed to take place just ~ congress
reassembles. Congress has before It q
bill to put sugar on the free list.
While this may not pass, owing to the
requirements Of the revenue, there Is
q proposition to amend it by striking
out the differential tax Of one.eighth
Of q cent a pound, imposed for the
protection OF the trust. There is rea-
son to'suspect that Mr.. Havemeyer de-
sirss to impress upon congress tho
idea that the trust is in hard lines and
will be ruined by the removal Of the
differential tex. This theory is at
least great deal more probable than
the assumption that the trust is sut.

for not representing it they have de-
cided are not well taken.
Another fact about the Democratic
campaign worthy of calling attention TO
is this, that only q short time ago Mr.:
Elkins was accused of having abandoned
Dayton and OF trading him of for MEM
bers of tho legislature. Now he Is do
clared to be Mr.. Wilson's real opponent,
and that he himself is in fact running
against Mr.. Wilson in the person OF Mr..
Dayton. OF course, these two state
ments are not harmo onions, but desper-
alton and consistency do not usually
dwell together In unity.

MARTlNsBURo, W. Va, Oct 3.-Mr.
John K. Cowen, speaking in Wheeling
last week, asserted that WOODEN half
hose made by the Kilbourn Knitting
Machine Company OF this place had de-
creased from % cents pair under the
Mckinley law to 10 cents under the
GOrmau.wits bill. The INTrttieES.
GER correspondent saw Mr.. E. e. Kill
bourn, the president OF the company to-
day, and had the following interview
with him in reference'to the statement:
When asked II Mr.. Cowon's statement
quoted above was true, Mr.. Kilbourn ro-
piled:
"rhere has been no reduction in tho
price OF our WOODEN hosiery since the
passage OF the Wilson bill. Our prices
were fixed in March, 1894, for the sea-
son and have not been changed aimee
that time"
"What will be the reduction in the
cost of your WOODEN goods under free
wool ?"
"Allowing that free wool reduces the
price OF domestic and foreign wool S35
per cent, the reduction OF the cost from
free wool will be less than three cents
a pair, averaging on all grades OF wool
and merino goods made by US about d
per cent on the retail price. These
goods referred 10 are all made from pure
stock, no shoddy in any OF them. Inc
all wool goods are made from high
grade OF native and Australian WOOL the
merino goods are from the same class
OF wool mixed with the best grade OF
cotton. In no single article does the
saving in cost amount to over three
cents pail"
'"raking the cost of 1892 as tho basis,
what is the relative cost OF wool nowr'
1--WE use Of native wool mainly caro-
fully selected grade Of fine territory
wool. Tho cost given is for secured
wool ready for cards. l have not the
exact figures here of prices paid in 1882,
but it cost us in that year over 90 cents.
The last purchase made before the tariff
bill passed was made in July, 1894, at
43 cents. Last week we paid IS cents
for the same WOOL"
elias there been any reduction or ad-
vance in the price OF your goods under
the Mckinley blll?"
"There has been no advance in the
price OF our goods since the Mckinley
bill was passed. On the contrary. with
improvements in machinery and facili-
ties in manufacturing. there was under
tho Mckinley bill steady reduction in
price, amounting in some grades to fully
Sj1 per cent, from the time the bill was
passed until it was repealed"

"MARKGrs of THE WORLD"

American Bsof Excluded From Germany,
But Diplomatic Courtesy CempeIs Our
Government to Accept tho Ambns sado
Explanation.
WAsHESeroNf D. c., Oct. 3o.-The
announcement by the Associated Press
that the embargo placed upon AmeFi-
eau cattle by the senate Of Hamburg,
had been extended to tho length OF an
exclusion OF American cattle and
dressed meat from every part Of Ger
many was received with surprise by Do
partnent officials to-day. That the
Texas fever was merely ground which
Germany could adopt for entorcing
retaliatory measures against tho United
States, because OF the supposed dis
elimination against German interests
in the sugar schedule Of the tariff bill,
was the prevalent impression. The
German ambassador, however, assured
tho secretary OF state yesterday that the
measure OF exclusion was inspired SOLE
ly by sanitary reasons and had no poll
ticai motive behind 1t. Government
officials are obliged to take this view OF
the case, since any other view might
seem reflection on the ambassador.
When the Associated Press dispatch
from Berlin was shown to the secretary
OF agriculture, he expressed surprise.
The exclusion OF dressed meats he was
at loss to understand, because they are
all inspected by competent government
officials in this country before they are
shipped. Texas fever, moreover, can
be carried only by live cattle. The live
cattle exported from this country are
also inspected at the ports OF shipment
to sec that they are not diseased.
Secretary Morton said that he had no
doubt the German officials intended to
act in the interest Of the public health
in excluding American cattle. as the
sanitary regulations OF that country are
unusually stringent upon all matters.
Tho secretary thinks that the damage to
be inflicted upon American interests by
this action is greatly over-estimated, as
our exports OF meat to Germany are
comp paratively light.
From his observation on his recent
trip. Secretary Morton is convinced that
the expectation OF live cattle cannot be
made to pay as well as shipping dressed
meats. The establishment Of increased
facilities for shipping meats in cold
storage, he thinks, will greatly increase
the American business.

WILSON Ar aiAitriNsBuRG.

Ho Addresses 10 Big Crowd of Demo-
crats aud Takes Tea at Dir. faulkner's
House.
MARrrSsDuRe, W. VA, Oct. 30.-Chair-
man Wilson had large meeting here
to-day. He arrived at 1:25 p. NJ, and
after hasty dinner, proceeded to tho
Central Opera House, where fully q
900 people greeted him with earnest
enthusiasm. 1t was some moments be-
fore he could proceed with his speech,
so loud and prolonged were the cheers.
He held the crowd in close attention for
one hour and half. After his speech
he went to the residence Of Judge E.
Boyd Faulkner, to rest, and at 6 p. m. was
driven to Senator Faulkner's residence,
where he took tea with assistant secre-
tary of the treasury, O. S. Hanlin.
A special from Martinsburg sayr:
The tide Is evidently running in Day
toms favor in this end of the district,
and is increasing in momentum as tho
election approaches. The Republicans
will certainly carry the county by an
increased majority, and Democrats ad-
init that Wilson'S majority will not be
as large as it was two years ago. Tho
Republican meetings held in the latter
county yesterday ut Harper's Ferry and

SECOND HAND SUGAR.

Refined Before the Sugar Trust Tariff Bill
Passed, Takes n Tumbie-A Slap ut tho
Jobbers.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. S0.-Sugar
took another tumble in price to-day and
surprised the iobbers. who had con.
cludcd that it was already down to the
bottom notch. Tho reduction extends
to all grades Of refined and averages one
eighth Of cent. It was regarded as q
slap back by the refneries at tho
wholesale grocers, who had recently un-
loaded large quantities Of sugar on the
market below tho refinery compact
prices. Said q we'll known iobber:
"Fhis dropping OF price has been de-
cided upon by the relneries on all su-
gars refined before the Wilson tariff
schedule, and known as secondhand
sugars, in order to meet the cutting Of
price by largo iobbers, who are unload
ing on the market just now. The
chances are that sugar will go still low
