The Republican press, it will be no.
ticed, has very little to say about the
connection between the Sugar Trust
and the Dingley bill. The people,
however, will have something to say
about it after Wheeling Regis
ter.
The Republican press has said that
the Dingley bill reduced the differen-
tial duty-the difference between re-
fined sugar in this country and for.
eign countries, and the source of pro-
fit to re6ners in this country-from
\ of cent, allowed by the Wilson
bill, to Is of a cent. 1t has also said
that the great source of profit to the
Trust come from advance importa-
tons under the Wilson bill, an in
crease in duty on sugar being requir-
ed to raise money to meet the bond
issues of the late Democratic admins
tration.

Post Chaplain David +. shields.

The numerous friends Of Rev. d. II.
Shields, former pastor Of the First M.
+. church, of this city, were delighted
Tuesday when they learned that he
had been appointed by President Nc
Kinley as Post Chaplain in the Army.
The Office is most pleasant, quite lu-
crative and just exactly suited tohim.
1t is possible no applicant for a po-
sition had better Endorsements than
Mr.. Shields. Among those who vouch-
ed for him were the Republican Ma
tional Committee at Chicago; Hon.
Tams Bixby, Chairman Of the Mime
sofa State Committee; U. S. Senators
Davis and Nelson, of Minnesota; Sen
ator Penrose, of Pennsylvania; Con-
gressmen Morris, Fletcher, Heatwole,
Stevens and Tawney, of Minnesota,
and Arnold and Mahan, of Pennsylva
mia; Governors Hastings and Atkin-
son; Bishops Andrews, Fowler, Hurst,
Bowman, Goodsell, Mallalieu, Ninde
and McCabe, OF the Methodist Episco-
pal Church; Rev. DR.. Geo. +. Reed,
President of Dickinson College, and
Rev. DR.. Corey, former pastor of the
Metropolitan M. +. church, Washing
ton. He also had the active support
of the Congressional delegation ofthis
State. 1t is not known as yet where
Mr.. Shields will be stationed, but al
most all of the posts are desirable as
places of abode which insures him
pleasant home upon entering his new
field of labor.

A NEW DEPARTURE.

This year is replete with surprises.
One of the stock arguments, Of the
Popocrafs during the recent campaign
was that this country should control
its own financial affairs. 1t now APP
pears that such course is possible,
but not in the manner the Pops indi.
Gated. A block of bonds was recent
w thrown on the New York market
They were safe and bore a good rate
of interest, which, together with the
principal, was payable in gold. A
foreign syndicate, backed, it is said.
by several foreign governments, en-
deavored to secure the entire issue.
It happened, however, that some
Americans took a notion to win the
prize and succeeded. Had bomb fall
len into the camp Of the foreigners
there could not have been more con-
sternation. They fused and fumed,
but to no avail 1t was battle royal,
and America won.
There are those who say gold will
again leave us. Not so. On the con-
trary gold will soon be pouring in up
on US. 1t should be noted that ever
since the success OF the Republican
party was assured the tide has been
in our favor. There have been some
fluctuations, but the ebb has been Of
brief duration. We have steadily
gained
Knowing that we controlled the
supply of wheat, there was intense
desire on the part Of foreigners to in
vest in our securities and then at the
proper time, when pay day came, in
stead Of sending us gold, they would
unload the bonds. There was no
other course. The Dingley bill shuts
out their manufactures. Failing in
their scheme, the gold will have to
come and then we will soon be able
to fix prices and manage our finances
without the aid of foreigners or de-
based currency.

The Herald does not wish to be dis
courteous to the Statesman, but begs
to state that it is none of its or our
business how, where or from whom
Spillman Bros. buy sugar, whether
or not they are selling for a greater or
less profit than heretofore, or what
other merchants charge. The fact re-
mains that they are selling granulat-
sugar, purchased since the passage of
the Dingley bill, as advertised in the
Herald and Statesman and now adj
mitted by the Statesman. Again, it
is not only unproiessional but decid-
eddy unbusinesslike for a newspaper
to discredit its patrons, especially bus
mess men Of the highest standing fl
nancially and morally. Whenever
the time comes, if it should come, for
us to occupy such position, then
shall we stand by the business inter
ests Of patrons.

The Statesman fires a whole broad
side at the Herald when that versatile
organ rings in Harpers' Weekly, the
New York Evening Post and the New
York Times, to prove that the Sugar
Trust has grown fat on profits derived
from advance importations of sugar.
Mention might also have been made
of wool and thousand other articles
imported under the Wilson bill. That
is one of the penalties the people have
had to pay for being so idiotic as to
install Democratic administration.
But to go back to the Statesman S
authorities. They are all out-and-out
free trade papers-the ablest in the
country-and they did, as is claimed,
support Mckinley. But why did they
do so2 Because they knew the free
coinage, free riot, free trade Popocratic
platform meant free and swift nation
al damnation. That is the platform
which the Statesman swallowed much
as it nauseated. They did not hate
Mckinley and Protection less but the
other more and for once they allowed
patriotism to rule them. Burglars
and thieves have been known to do
meritorious acts. We have even
known the Statesman to be right once
IN while. 1t had lucid interval
about year ago, just before it accept
ed Bryan's Popocratic ideas. But
then it don't last. Like the sow, as
Solomon said, they soon return to
their-tolly.

Strange as it may seem, there is a
movement on foot to transfer some

al prosperity of the country.

Judge Jackson continues to issue
iniunctions. Too much, even of a
good thing, is often obnoxious.
Reason and common sense in times of
emergency are better than buster and
force. If the miners keep within the
law and merely seek to redress their
grievances, real or alleged, and there
is no proof to the contrary, then the
courts should keep hands off. If of
lenses are committed, the State law
is amply sufficient. Until then the
people will look with disfavor upon
any attempt at coercion.
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1897-08-21

Yes, dear Statesman, the Herald
stated two weeks ago that in our
opinion sugar would go higher under
the new tariff bill. 1t seems that
while il advanced some it has not
gone as high as we expected. There
is a possibility that it will drop back
to the old price. If it does, it will
only be another case OF the foreigner
paying the duty. In that contingency
then the tariff will not be tax on
sugar.

1t may be that the advance in prices
of various commodities such as wheat,
corn, cotton, ETC., is due to failure of
crops abroad and not to Republican
policies, but it is rather strange tn at
these advances or adventurous circum-
stances never occur when the Demo
cratic party is in power. We remem-
Der, during the campaign of 1892,
Democratic orators promised SIPS

other way. We say it is strange that
Democratic victories always bring
hard times, while Republican triumphs
restore prosperity. 1t is strange
isn't it? It's true, though.

Textile mills in and about Phila-
