1t is the province of those who are able, to
give assistance TO those who need their help

are heard sermons of charity and 'good will

defray the expenses incidental to treatment,
others are not, and for the benefit OF the
latter the WING this week starts Il fund, to
which the citizens of the county are asked to
contibute.

everything in connection with both Of the

indicated that the greatest caro- possible had
been exercised by the officials in charge Of

reflect much credit upon the management.
We visited the jail and found therein II

commendation of the manner in which tho

We found the property in good condition

and that the kitchen ceiling be repaired.
Our attention was called TO constant infrac-

while using the public roads of the county.
numler of instances were cited wherein
the law requiring that II man be kept 300

BRIDGEPORT.

Since the blowers at the Bridgeport bot
tie works have been out Oh a strike mat
tiers have assumed an interesting phase.
The men had been working on the CO.
operative plan up to about three weeks ago.
They were receiving nine cents per dozen
for bottles. six cents of which was kept by
the company as stock. They wanted to
quit working on this plan and the COM
pany refused, causing the men to strike.
Last week the company decided TO send
off for men in order 10 start the works up,
which they intended to do this morning
The strikers got wind of what was going
10 be done and placed themselves on the
lookout for men who were coming to take
their places. Monday evening six men,
bottle blowers. arrived from Wellsburg
and were met here by several of the locked
out men, who explained matters TO them
and persuaded them to return to their
homes. Marshal Stuff. who saw what was
going on and warned the strikers that
nothing similar to the Buckeye strike at
Martins Ferry would be tolerated. and
should any violence occur the offenders
would be dealt with In a severe manner.
Yesterday morning three blowers from
Swansea, Ind. arrived on ne nine o'clock
train over the c. & p. road. They were
also met by a committee of the strikers
and induced to return home the strikers
purchasing their tickets for them. Owing
to the success the strikers are having in
getting the new men to return home, the
factory will not resume this morning. as it
was expected to- They have acted in

EXPORTS OF GOLD.

At this time the withdrawal OF MIL
lion and a half of gold from the treas
ury for shipment abroad is not of es-
peciaI import. The treasury is we'll sup
piled with the yellow metal and an ex-
port movement in the metal would
simply be the usual thing at this time
of year. True. in May 1895, the current
ran in our favor. and there was a net
importation of 1921, 1913. That, how
ever. was an artificial inflow due to the
manipulation Of the exchange market
by the Morgan syndicate, and did not
result in any permanent gain, its effect
being merely to postpone gold ship
ments from the spring and summer
months 70 the fall and winter months.
OF the Mays of other years there is
a different story to tell. In May, 1894,
there was a net expectation of S23,124,-
O5S gold in May, 1898, net exporta-
ton of SIS. POS. 760 in May. 1892, a net
expectation of $685. 65, and in May,
1891. net expectation of S3O,36S112.
1t will be seen that the losses of gold in
May have run on very irregular lines,
being in some years ten times as large
as in others. But in each Of the four
years enumerated the exports Of the
yellow metal in May were distinctly in
excess Of the imports. and at times very
largely So Taking the four years to-
gether. May shows on the average a net
outflow of S17.99O.243 gold. 1t does
no, seem probable that the present
month will reach the average level, for
the condition of the American money
market is not favorable for heavy with
drawals of gold. Still an export move
ment at this season would simply be in
line with usage.

fish here at home under similar condl-
tions? The value of the exports OF
manufactures of iron and steel to Can
ada last year exceeded $5,O0O,000. All
these products were sold in Canada in
omen competition with similar products
from England or other countries on the
osber side Of the Atlantic, and in such
competition on even terms so far as tar
IFS are concerned.
With respect to sales here at home,
however. the manufacturers Of these
goods say that they should be protect
ed against the same foreign competitors
bv duties which largely increase the cost
of the foreign goods to the buyer and
consumer. If they do not need such
protection in Canada, why do they need
it here? If they can sell S5,O00,O00
worth OF iron and steel products in
Canada without the aid of a tariff handi-
cap upon their European competitors
in that market, why should their pro-
tective duties in this country, which
average 4S.41 per cent, be increased by
Is per cent?
This is not the first time these ques-
tons have been asked, but they have
not been answered by our Republican
friends who say the iron and steel du
ties are too low"
