Tarpon fishing Is art and not fad The man

like everything else in the world. has two sides to IT,
and as a result many contradictory stories are
heard. One spends winter in Florida and
has bad weather and worse luck. Another has the
most marvellous luck. One cries down the sport
while the other lauds 1t. so the contradictions are
accounted for There be little prevarication

1t does not necessarily follow that a man VINO

We congratulate Wheeling business
men on the growth of this idea in
Wheeling. They have had practical
demonstration this week Of how it is
directly TO their benefit and to the
benefi, of the city indirecly These
immense crowds of visitors leave an
enormous amount Of money in tde city,
which would come here in no othsr
way. It all goes into Wheeling peck
cts. Hence. the merchants and the peo-
pie of Wheeling generally, should give
the enterprises that attract these dol
lars all the support they can in every
way, because the merchants and the
people in general share in the profits.
Advertise these shows and exhbi-
lion literally, let the people Of the
country around know what and where
they are and then give them what is
promised. give them their moneys
worth and it is money and enterprise
well spent, and beneficial to all con-
cerned.

THAT FINANCIAL NEWS ARTICLE.

THAT FINANCIAL NEWS ARTICLE.
The London Financial News, through
some articles it had publilhed on
the currency question in the United
States. has become quite an issue
in our politics through the frantic
efforts of the managers Of the gold cam
paign TO cast doubt upon their au-
thenticity. These high minded gentle
men of Wall ST. have resorted to the
methods of the confidence man and the
bunco-steerer in order to get a denial
from the editor OF the Financial News
that the paper ever published such ar
ticles. The denial from the News proves
exactly the contrary TO what it
purpor,s to prove, and shows conclu-
sively that the Hanna managers did not
present to him the original article
which was beyond dispute printed in
me London Financial News, but simply
oueried him without bearing on the
plain question whether or not the
Financial News did or did not publish
the article in question. The answer to
that query which we have twice pub
Hshed shows this conclusively.
But there is another article still
stronger on the same line, which was
published in the London Financial
News of April 80, 1894. There can be
no doubt as 20 the authenticity Of this
clipping, because it has been photo
graphed from the copy in the pos
session of the Durrant Press Cutting
Bureau.
This settles the question Of genuine
ness of the utterances from the London
Financial News, the leading English
financial authority, the effect Of whose
publication in this country has caused
Mark Hannas campaign managers
so much alarm.

All of which is direct insult to mel
who are at once honest and sensible.
That the free coinage of silver will raise
the price Of farm products, give the
farmers more money and enable them
to stimulate the trade and business Of
the country. and the business OF the
railways, is beyond all question. Prac-
tically. Mr.. Ives admits it, and then
proceeds to warn his employees against
bringing about this result.
If Mr.. Ives knows anything whatever
about the details of railway manage
ment. he must know that among the
first results of low prices for farm pro-
duets is the reduction of freight rates.
The first result of a reduction OF freight
rates is a reduction of expenses. This
does not fall on the big officials like Mr..
Ives. and takes the shape Of either a
reduction of wages or a reduction in the
number OF men employed. Every rail-
road man has seen this process going
on right before his eyes during the
past three years.
They have seen more than that. They
have seen as the result of the low
prices of farm products more pauper-
lied railways than was ever known be-
fore. They have seen ONE HUNDRED
AND FIFTY-SIX railroads in the
hands Of receivers! The total capi;ali-
cation of these railways which have
been pauperized by the gold standard
was TWO BILLIONS FIVE HUNDRED
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS What
other industry, except that of the far
mer, has suffered or is suffering so
severely? The ruin, reaching to mill
ions of people depending on the diyi-
dends of these pauperized roads, has
been so appalling that it is enough
ITO arouse the Indignation of honest
men, when a cheap John corpora
ton manager, in the hope OF at
tracing the approval Of his stock
holders, announces to his employees that
the prosperity Of the American farmer is
likely to prove disastrous to his road
and TO their interests.
We venture to assert that, no matter
how low the rates OF the railroads have
been cut as the result of the low prices
of farm products, no matter how severe
ly the shareholders have been shorn Of
their dividends, the salaries OF such
gold standard apostles as President Ives
have not been reduced. Such men seem
to feel that they are in the railway bus
mess, not to promote the interests OF
their stockholders, but TO protect the in
ter5st of their bondholders. And indeed
this seems to be the chief end and aim
Of railway management in many quar-
ters.
