WHY THE REGISTER is AHEAD

4 certain class of newspapers is given
10 a sort of stereotyped Dragging, con-
tinued regularly, regardless of fact or
truth. as good journalistic policy" the
"brag" in frequent instances that come
daily under our notice being kept
standing
The Register very rarely INDUCES in
Dragging of any kind, and never in the
sort above mentioned. Ii prefers as a
rule to let its columns speak for them
selves in comparison with those of its
contemporaries. There are occasions,
of course, when the Register can not
help expressing a little pardonable pride
as regards its superior services, first,
/ in getting the news. and, second, in
handling it so that none Of it will be
lost or sighted and all of it presented
hot to its readers at the breakfast
table

vice throughout the State and in this
section largely covering Ohio and West
ern Pennsylvania: Yesterday copy Of
! the Register was, from curiosity,
compared with our local con-
temporaries, and a hasty comparison
showed dozen items of important spe-
ciaI news from. Ohio and West Virginia,
which represented so many scoops on
our local contemporaries. not excepting
PiJtsburg's pretentious dailies. Not a
line Of this news appeared in any of our
/ local contemporaries. 1t will appear in
their columns twelve and twenty-four
hours late.
This news. which covered several col
umns. did not come over the regular
/ Associated Press circuit, but was wired
+ by the Registers own special CORE
sponden,s in this and adjoining States,
and alone represented more than double
/ the outlay for news service made by all
of our local contemporaries combined.

STATE BOARD OF PHARMACY
Entertained at the Park Yesterday After
noon Business Meeting To-Day.

Entertained mt the Park Yesterday After
noon-B Business Meeting To-Day.
The Wheeling Druggists Association
yesterday entertained the members of
the State Board Of Pharmacy. who are
holding their annual meeting in this
city. In the morning the business Ses-
sion was held. but no matters or public
Importance were considered.
AT two o'clock about twenty-five
members of the local Association ac-
companied the members of the Board TO
Wheeling Park, where they were enter
tanned in a very enjoyable manner.
They took possession Of the bowling al
leyS. and spent some time in contests
with the lignum vitae spheres. Each
of the two teams won game. A ban
quet vas then served and discussed very
pleasantly. A number of addresses
we're made Among the speakers were
President Sydenstrickero Of the Board, A.
T. Young, Will w. Irwin, Christian
Schnepf. and Chas. Menkemeller
Mr.. Menkemeler. President of the To-
cal Association, acted as master of
ceremonies. One Of the best speeches
{ was made by President Sydenstricker,
and it is regretted that lack Of space
prevents its publication in full. He
complimented the local organization,
and held that pharmacists should find
time to cultivate a closer social rela-
tionship. He also spoke of business
and business methods. and dwelt AT
some length upon the State law, which
he declared to be insufficient, in that
it does not require any general or speci-
fic standard of academic culture. An
! other great defect is the failure of the
law to discriminate fairly as to the eX-
tent to which grocers and general deal
ers may infringe upon the druggist
business. Notwithstanding the diff
cuties under which the profession
works in this State. much material ad-
vancement in pharmacy has been made.
Mr.. Sydenstricker closed by thanking
| the Association for the hospitable man
ner in which the Board has been enter
tanned.

RrAsnNARLE pRnrECrInN

The Republican leaders with their
shrewd and sharpened political sense
have never yet met the tariff issue as
presented by the Democrats fairly and
squarely. They prefer to fight at long
range and attack Democratic tariff re-
form in a general way as simple free
trade" which every intelligent man
knows is far from a correct statement Of
the Democratic position.
rs evidence of the very reasonable
kind of tariff which those who repre-
sent the low tariff views in this country
now advocate, il may be said that they
would be satisfied with the scale of du-
lies which at least three Republican
Presidents have favored. There are
avowed free traders. but these are few
in number. and are to be found in both
parties. and they have never succeeded
in getting their views recognized so far
as TO be reported into Congress. Real
izing that the tariff is only a question
OF degrees and that it is practicable to
frame no measure that would afford
sufficient revenue without affording
considerable protection with it, free
trade. as it is now charged in Re
publican speeches. is simply a bugbear
10 deceive the public. Gen. Grant IA
vored a moderate tariff. \ different
class of men had his ear in the early
days of his administration from those
who possessed it later. and it is sig
nifcant circumstance that no Republi-
can seems TO have been disposed to adj
wise him in favor Of a high tariff. Even
in the confidence he aftsrward gave to
Roscoe C0nkling. there is no proof that
Conkling did not agree in this view; he
was probably for low duties. as were
most Of the influential Republicans Of
his day.
Gen Garfield had taken this ground
early and decisively. He had even
ventured to advise that duties be framed
with an ultimate view TO freer trade.
If not 10 absolute free trade. Presider,
Arthur when in office. had heartily ia
vored a tariff commission. with the aim
to lessen duties. and had so much con-
fdence that it could be done under Re

publican influence that he appointed al
most none but Republicans upon the
commission to do this work. 1t re-
ported that it had reduced duties to the
extent of twenty per cent, though, as
the bill came out of Congress, nothing
was effected to this end.
The proposition for lower duties after
the war originated with Republicans.
They acquiesced then in the general
sentiment of the country that the ma
ton would prosper under them. Tho
idea that a high tariff for healthy pro-
lection was necessary is an invention
that has come since the days Of Grant,
Garfield and Arthur.

BEATS MKrxLEr1sM.s BEST YEAR.

We wish TO call the attention Of our
Republican friends who are now roar
ing and bowling for a restoration Of
the Mckinley tariff, to the fact shown
by the latest Treasury statistics. that
the exports of American manufactures
for the nine months ending with March
last reached the unprecedented total
of 1853. 1926. which is five millions
more than the figures for the whole
twelve months of 1892. when Mckinley
reciprocity was in full blast.
In March alone the value of domestic
manufactures exported was S19,125. 7S5.
which is at the rate OF over S229. OOO. 900
per annum. Last year they had reached
S1S3.595.743. or 23.14 per cent. of our
total exports, against S15S,O2311S. or
1902 per cent, in 1898. while the ratio
for March last was 25.S5 per cent. of
the total exports. and the figures ara
still advancing.
As the independent Philadelphia
Times says, this can mean nothing else
than that. with the reduction of taxes
upon their material, and with the in
centive 10 improved processes under
competition. our manufacturers are eX-
tending their markets in a way never
possible before. With a sound currency
and freedom from disturbing changes
the products of American industry
would soon lead the world.
