The report Of the special committee
appointed by the late Pennsylvania
Legislature to investigate the condition
of the bituminous miners was full and
complete. That report showed their
condition in Pennsylvania and other
states to be exceedingly bad and not
paralleled in any other civilized country.
Facts, figures, specific statements under
oath, coupled with the observation Of
members of the committee on personal
investigation of conditions at the mines,
presented an array of evidence that
carry conviction. There can be no doubt
of their wretched condition. Yet the

WHEAT AND SILVER.
Why the One is Going Up and the
Other Remains in the Down
ward Scale.

Some lccal Republican politicians gre
making merry over ths decline 10 the
price Of silver. As the white metal is a
product of the Industry by citizens Of
this county, the Republican editors are
not showing much public spirit when
they rejoice in its decline in price. Ac-
cording to tteir theory, silver ranks with
iron and copper as a commodity. Would
these same tacetious gentlemen oongratu-
late them selves and their readers on a
slump in the price of iron and copper9
On the other hand there is much re-
joicing over the rise in the price of wheat.
This is cause for congratultory remark,
ana there is no man in this country who
will express any other ssntimens. But
the goldite seem to think that there are
those who regret this increase.
Sreaking of this matter the New York
Hearld says: Compared with this date
three years GO, wheat has risen nearly
80 re, cent, while silver is lower Yer

metslli is are foolish enough to believe
that the law of supply and demand has

High tariff has been compared to a
fence or wall around country, erected
for the purpose of keeping out the pro-
ductions of other lands, being sort of
warfare against the people of those lands.
The foolish and short-sighted high tariff
tax people do not seem to be aware that
those other lands can wage similar war
on us and so curtail the sale Of our pro-
ductions abroad. This is tit for tat; not
friendly reciprocity but unfriendly an
tagonism. Is it not short.sighted in
every way? Is not this policy likely to
cut both ways?

JUNIUS G, FERRALL.

Ex-Probate Judge Ferrall, of Carroll
county, was happily nominated as the
Democratic candidate for the state sen.
ate by the dis rict convention held in
the Assembly hail at Canton on Mon
day.
Mr.. Ferral's personal popularity and
ability may be judged from the fact
that he was twice elected probate judge
the incorigiDle Republican county Of
Carroll, succeeding himself for his sec.
ond term.
Hon, Edwin Ferrall, father of our can
didate, was elected to the state senate in
1873, getting a majority of 81 in Carroll
and satisfactory majority in Stark,
thus breaking the charm that had long
held the district in Republican thrall.
We trust it will be the lot Of the son
to be equally successful, and it is GER
tain that anything he can honorably do
to accomplish that end will be done. He
is a man of character and integrity, and
as a senator will be faithful TO the trust,

is quite natural and proper. Men Of
business prudence are chary about doing
or saying aught that may tend to hurt
their credit.
The new tariff has rather narrowed
than widened the market for man.
ufactured goods. There is no good rea.
son to believe this Dingley tariff will
bring a revival of business and trade.
While wheat has risen in price, we can.
not as yet tell whether farmers will be
in better shape this year than they were
last. They themselves cannot tell yet
whether they will realize more this year
from their crops and have more to spend
in goods and other things.
Republicans always claim it was the
repeal of the Mckinley law and the
passage of the Wilson bill that caused
the fall in prices and the hard times.
Nothing is further from the truth. The
changes in monetary matters in 1898
played the mischief. The India mints
we're closed to free silver coinage in June
Of last year, and in October our govern
ment quit buying 4,500,000 ounces Of
silver per month under the Sherman
law. The result was that silver soon
fell from SO cents an ounce to less than
go cents. The advance in gold was then
some 80 per cent, and so gave it greater
purchasing power. And this, with good
cropsin Europe, caused a great decline in
food products.
This fall in prices affected everything,
for the demand in manufactured goods
fell Off, caused by the rise in gold,
brought on by disCarding silver as a
money metal. As measured by silver
the premium on gold continues, being
greater indeed than a year ago. Other
things, however, are not equal, for
short crops abroad affect prices. But
these points are worth considering.

THE CYCLE COMPLETE.
A Celebration Will Be Held at
Steubeuville and Interest

On July 20, 1877, Governor st. Clair

county of Jefferson.
The original county of jefferson at
that time included what is now Colum.

tending from the river to the lake. 1t

comprises the counties of Cuyahoga

ana, Carroll, Harrison and Jefferson.
Jefferson was the fifth county organ.
lied in the northwest territory after the
cession to the United States. Washing.
ton county being the first, Hamilton
second, Wayne third and Adams fourth.
Washington county was established
July 26, 17SS; Hamilton, January 2, 1890;
Wayne, August Is, 1885; Adams, July
10, 1897, and Jefferson, July 80, 1897.
The hundred years have brought as
greet changes to the Ohio valley section
of old Jefferson as to perhaps any por-
ton of the Union Today this corner
of the State is one of the greatest manu-
featuring districts in the Union. Few
indeed of the people of Columbiana and
Jefferson counties realize the importance
of the upper Ohio valley in manufactur.
ing; or that within the boundaries of old
Jefferson more than one half the entire
manufactured products of the state Of
Ohio are turned out.
Strangely enough the anniversary of
the establishment of the old county is not
to be celebrated anywhere in the great
stretch of territory once within its
boundaries except at Steubenville, the
county seat of the latter.day jefferson
county. There, on August "a, %, and
26 the centennial will be suitably OBJ
served. A memorial tablet will be un.
yelled on the first day of the celebration,
marking the birthplace. OF the towns

There might be some further observ-

in the schools would be desirable, and
would certainly be appropriate. The
year is notable one in the history Of
this entire section.

THAT PROSPERITY.

The smokeless factory chimneys tell
different tale from the Republican
newspapers that are telling how glori.
ously we are now revelling in prosperity
since the tariff bill became law two
weeks ago.
Were the prosperity fact laboring
people would not need to go to the
daily papers to find it out. The owners
of the smokeless chimneys must have
poor opinion of the daily press for
truth telling. Prosperity and smokeless
chimneys are incongruous. The pro-
prietors, no doubt, wish the prosperity
tale were true. They also desire pros
perity and need it.
The owners of smokeless chimneys
must feel disgust at journals that deal
out daily the reports OF prosperity that
they know does not exist. These reports
are made up of minimum of truth and
maximum Of falsehood. The unem-
ployed are rather on the increase than
otherwise, and the leaders of ornanized
labor so say. OF course factory owners
are not telling their hardships for
publication. They would rather have

THE WOOL TARIFF.

Read by Senator Vance in the United State
senate in anticipation of the passage of tn
original Mckinley bill. 1t is not untimel
now.
Our Mary had little lamb,
And her heart was most intent
To make this wool beyond its worth,
Bring SO per cent.
But pauper girl across the sea
Had one small lamb also,
Whose wool for less than half that sum
She'd willingly let go.
Another girl who had no sheep
Nor stockings-wool nor flax
But money just enough to buy
A pair without the tax,
Went to the pauper girl to get
Some wool to shield her feet,
And make her stockings, not offlax,
But both Of wool complete.
When Mary saw the girls design
She straight began to swear
She'd make her buy both wool and tax
Or let one leg go bare.
So she cried out Protect reform
Let pauper sheep wool free
If it will keep both her legs warm,
What will encourage me"
So it was done, and people said,
Wherer that poor girl went,
One leg was warmed with wool, and one
With So per cent.
Now, praise to Mary and her lamb,
Who did this scheme invent,
To clothe one-half girl in wool,
And one-half in per cent.
All honor, too, to Mary's friend,
And all protective acts,
That cheaply clothe the rich in wool,
And wrap the poor in tax.
