WELCOME THE NEW TARIFF.
Workers In Pittsburgh Indu.trfe.
Look for Better Tfm~.


The passage of the tariff bill is hailed
with JOY by the workingmen of Pitts
burgh, and they anticipate a speedy re-
turn TO the times when work was plenti-
full at living wages.
The windOw-glass workers, particu-
larly. express themselves az greatly
pleased with the schedule for their
product. II is said to have been pre-
pared by Pittsburgh labor leaders.
When the Wilson bill went into effect
the window-glass workers agreed TO
reductions of from % 10 40 per cent.
The understanding was that the old
rate was to be restored as soon as the
Mckinley tariff bill rates were restored
The Window-Glass Workers association
leaders to-day say that the Dingley bill
affords better protection for the man
ufacturers than the Mckinley bill, and
that they will receive higher wages
than those paid before the passage of
the Wilson bill.
The flint glass workers will feel the
change, but not in so great "A degree
President William J. Smith says:
81 think improvement is likely, and
that il will come soon. For the past
three years, owing to general industrial
depression and the new tariff, the men
have been idle great part of the time.
This was not entirely due 10 the tariff.
and the revival l expect will be mainly
due to the general revival in all branches
of business"
John Jarrett, secretary and treasurer
of the American Association Of Iron
and Steel Sheet manufacturers, said:
81 believe the adjustment of tariff
rates by the new law will do a great
deal of good generally. 1t recognizes
the principle of remuneration TO indus
trial capital and accompanying benefit
to the workingman. / do not like this
shallow pretelse of tariff legislation
In favor OF the workingman. The work
ingman only gets the benefit of il
through the manufacturer. II is Il
common error TO suppose that the tariff
is "A basis for the adjustment of wages
generally. 1t helps to uphold the wage-
rate as in competition with foreign la
Dor, but gives him no protection against
wage reduction resulting from internal
business rivalry.
''The condition of the tin-plate work
ers is an example of unhealthy COMPETE
ton. The selling price of American
tin plate has been from % TO 40 cents
per box below that of the imported
article, not because of inferiority, but
on account of internal competition. |

dustry, as an advance of nine per cent.
has already been granted 20 the work
ers by the manufacturers, who can
easily command higher prices for their
goods under the new law. | look for
improvementin the iron and steel trade.
as well as general revival in business"
The potteries were great sufferers by
the Wilson bill. Many OF them were
compelled TO shut down entirely, while
others could only run half time, al
though heavy cuts had been made in
wages. Homer Laughln, head of one
of the largest potteries in this district,
said tonight that, while it would take
some months to get rid of the present
large stocks, il would not be great
while until both prices and wages went

THE GENUINE THING.
when the Farmers Prosper the Nn-
don prOspera.

The prosperity of the farmer is, in
the truest sense, the prosperity of the
nation.
When there is money in the pockets
of the farmers the rest of the world,
which in reality lives en- the farmers,
says that times are good.
The great wheat crops of Nebraska,
Kansas, the Dakotas, Minnesota and
other sections of the middle west, com
bined with the generally satisfactory
prices that prevail. will speedily re-
store the whole business 0: the country
to a sound basis.
Corn, too, is another factor in this
sudden rebuilding of agricultural pros
perity. The corn crop is enormous. and
finds a healthy market to meet it, Other
cereals, less important individually. but
in the aggregate amounting to an enor-
nous value, are returning great yields.
The business of feeding cattle is ex-
Panding with great rapidity, and afford
ing handsome profits TO the farmer and
feeder. IT is on so secure Il foundation,
and its future is so promising, that
western capitalists are forming com
Panies for the purpose of loaning money
TO promote the industry. These COM
panies lend TO the cattle feeders at low
interest, all the cash they need for the
expansion Of their business.
\ waning or precarious business does
not find capital so friendly.
Such conditions as these, at.l those
secondary ones which they call forth
such as the activity OF transportation
companies and the enlargement Of ac-
commodatious for storage, are the final
signs that the long. weary stagnatiou
of hard times" has come TO an end.
In fact, these conditions are much more
than "a sign. They are themselves the

The NEW TARIFF
sure Precursor OF Betser Times an d
Prospertty.

The Dingley tariff has become law
After an existence of two years anc
ii months the Wilson-Gorman act
the tariff for deficits, the "perfidy and
dishonor" tariff. which President Cleve-
land denounced and refused TO sign,
and which became a law by the eNpira-
ton of the ten days limit. has been
removed from the statute book. It's
career was shorter than that OF any
other great tariff ever passed since the
act of 1892, which was displaced by the
compromise tariff in the following year.
and that career was as inglorOus as il
was short. The democratic house of
representatives and president disowned
il and the democratic senate could never
he Induced TO acknowledge it's paternity.
Moreover, an important part OF il. tho
income tax provision, was nullified by
the supreme court.
Under particularly happy auspices
the Dingley act goes into operation.
The country, democrats as well as re-
Publicans, had been awaiting its en-
actment with eager interest. for though
many democrats were opposed 10 it,
al of them felt that it's passage, through
the rest from all tariff agitation for
several years which il would cause,
would bring an immediate and wide
spread revival in trade. The republic.
ans welcomed il because they were con
yinced that il would abolish treasury
deficits, furnish adequate protection
TO all industries needing il. and start
every idle mill wheel i'm motion. There
are general rejoicings over its enact.
ment throughout the country. Most
persons believe it will bring as bene-
fetal consequences as those which fol-
lowed the operation of the resumption
law OF 1879
Seldom does fortune furnish so many
favors to any country in a single season

American farmer more wheat TO sell
than he had last year, but a market
for it is provided at fair prices The
gold holdings of the treasury and the
banks are increasing, the silver FOLLY
is discredited, and now comes the en-
actment of the new tariff to remove the
last vestige of financial uncertainty,
and usher in an era of business activity
which will rival the happiest period of
the past. Once more the republican
party has proven itself the greatest po-
litical organization in constructive abil-
ity which the nation has known. An
other republican promise has been
grandly performed, and the prosperity
which has been absent for many years
will soon be restored TO the corntry.-

CEASES TO BE AN ISSUE,
The Tariff Question Is Now Perma-
nentIy Settled.

]
| For the first time in the history of
American tariff Legislation there is now
unanimity among the business men of
| tine union in rejoicing over the passage
of a tariff bill.
| The Dingley bill, passed recently. is
not satisfactory to everybody; no tariff
can be made to please everybody; but
practically there is no revolt against il
except such as comes from academic
theorists wounded in their tenderest
and most vital pride, their pride OF opin-
ion. The democratic opposition in the
senate was perfunctory only. Public
sentiment demanded its passage as
speedily as possible. and congress could
not safely resist that unanimous pop.
uiar agreement.
The tariff settlement now reached
with the general concurrence of the
people, will probably be final for this
generation, so far as concerns mere
theory. Particular schedules may be
altered under the teaching of expert.
ence, and according to the requirements
of changing conditions; but the mod.
itications, dictated 10y policy and ex.
pediency, are not likely to furnish is.

the duty imposed shall be few per

justfying the disturbance of eve-y
business interest by it's violent and
