YOUNGSTOWN. Aug. 4.-The new
Amalgamated association wage scale
has been signed by President Garland
of the Amalgamated Association of
Iron, Steel and Tin workers and Secre-
tary James II. Mutt of the Iron Manu-
facturers' association. The scale finally
agreed upon was III the main as fol-
lows:
Guide mills. rolling and heating, 10
per cent reduction on straight.
Roughers. Z p per cent reduction.
Bar mill, heating and rolling, 10 per
cent reduction for iron ana ID per cent
for steel.
Sheet bar work. no reduction except
for heating, and 1t Is the same as on the
bar mill.
Plate mill rolling and heating. same
as before.
Skelp mill rolling and heating, 10 per
cent reduction.
Puddle mill rollers, no reduction.
Pudding, 81 a ton on l-cent card
rate.
The whole scale is governed by a l.
cent rate card, which means | cent per
pound selling price for bar iron. When
the selling price of bar IRON goes up
q everybody's wages go up. but wages
cannot 90 any lower than thev are
now, no matter how low the selling
prlce or bar iron goes. Altogether the
men affected do not consider the new
scale as p or for them as it might b.,
as the l-cent card rate gives theN some
protection.
The Mahoning Valley Iron compauy
put one of its puddle mills into opera
ton this morning and some of the I'm
lshlng mills Will start next Monday
The Brown Bonnell Iron companv's
plant will start next week. IL was an
nounced by the other manufacturers
that there will not be mucn delay be-
fore they start up their plants.
Although the Union Iron and Steel
company. which has several plants, was
not represented in the conference. II i
understood on good authority that they
viii sign the scale and at least put the
local plant IN operation soon.

THE Republican papers, says the Pitts
burg Post, are just now engaged in fig
urlng up imaginary statements show
ing what the revenue receipts might
have been had not the threat of the
Dingley trust tariff been thrust upon the
country. 1t is an advance movement
20 break the force of the assured failure
Of the new law as a revenue getter This
one fact stands out, and cannot be con-
trOverted: With the advent of the Ding
ley law revenue receipts from customs
have been falling off, and the deficit
for the coming fiscal year VIII be larger
than under the Wilson tariff There is
no getting away from these facts. But
what does 1t matter, if the sugar trust
got all II demanded, and the million
aires of that great conspiracy have add
ed more millions to their illegitimate
gains? Mark Hanna's campaign COM
mittee appears to be handling statistics
from Washington for the purpose of
further humbugging the people. Why
increased taxes for the purpose of keep
ing out imports should increase the i'm
ports and the revenues is a conundrum
worthy of funatic asylum.

y PORTLAND, Ore, company is doing
'hriVing business IN horse meat. Not
long ago the company received an order
from France for 5000 barrels of this
meat and since then work at the factory
has been brisk. Horses are killed at the
rate OF about fifty day and the meat is
carefully Inspected by an inspector sent
from Paris before it is packed for ship
ment. The horses used are the half
wild animals of Oregon, known as cav
uses, and are bought for about 50 80 q
head. The Parisians were the first peo-
pie to adopt horse flesh as an article of
food and the demand for it in the
French capital is constantly increasing.

How badly off the protectionists are
for evidence of the benifcent effects of
their darling tariff bill Is evident from
the undisguised glee with which they
point TO an upward futter in the price of
wheat There is no more relation of
cause and effect between the tariff bill
and the price OF wheat than there in be
tween this years apples and last year 8
horse races. Yet the protectionists catch
at upward wheat prices as drowning
men catch at straws.

IT WAS unkind almost to the point of
malice, the act of those laId off work
men at Firdlay, Ohio, who pasted up
an old advance agent poster, supple
mentally decorated with the word
''clCsed, upon the door of the factory
from which they had just been discharg
ed for lack OF orders. And they did it
within week after the signing of the
tariff bill, too. Worse, even, than that;
they did it the day after Mark Hanna
announced the actual appearance of un-
lversal prosperity. 1t shows how un-
grateful working men can be.

The Coffee Market.

NEW YoRK, Nov. 24.--The prices
Of green and roasted coffee are nov
lowe. than ever before. Rio No
on the spot is quoted at CT cents q
pound. The market for futures ha:
also broken Is points, owing TO the
steady increase in .he visible supply
in the United States, which is larger
than ever before in the history OF the
trade, being more than 900, 600 bags.
The price Of green coffee a year ago
was 10 cents and that Of roasted coffee
10i cents. The margin between the
two varieties has therefore been re-
duced frm 81 cents to "a cents. In
other words, cut In two.
The price Of roasted coffee in pack
ages as sold by the Arbuckles and
the WOolson Spice Company has fall
len TO cents a pound. A representa-
tive Of the Arbuckles is quoted as
saying that this price is below cost,
and a representative Of the Have
meyers, who controls the Woolson
Spice Company, says there is profit
in 9-cent coffee.

less 10 valre last month than a year
ago. and oil and provision exports
also show a decline, but for the big
staples altogether the los is less than
a million dollars, leaving for manu-
factures in the export trade loss OF
quite million.
The surprising feature Of the state
meut is the recovery of imports IN
der the higher tariff. nearly to the
last year leyel under low tariff. This
Is also due TO the speculative rush Of
the past three months, lifting domes =
tic prices, expectations and all, and
improving the market for foreign
wares at every step. Total merchan-
disc imports 10 August, the first
month under the new law, amounted
to $50, 743,O 900 against s53, $4,000 In
July: and in September they had in
creased to s42, 10000, rising now to
almost s5O,(OO,OOO 10 October, and
still the revenue deficit continues.
There is still left very large ia
vorable trade balance, which is in
creased for the month to about $685.

The Washington News Letter in
its editorial column on Binger Her
man among others things says that
"few men in the United States are
better fitted for the presl-
dency than Binger Hermann, and he
may be given a seat in the United
States senate at no distant date;''
"this looks" as the Portland Welcome
says, "as II our friend Binger was
keeping up his advertising. He is a
business cuss' and knows the value
OF printers ink" We do not thin k
he is fitted for either place. We have
already too many small men in the
senate, to the detriment Of public in
terests. How can men of this caliber
discuss the great questions that must
confront our country in the near
future. We know they have neither
the talents nor learning to do 1t, and
public conscience ought not to be de-
morallzed by mentioning their names
in such connection. Mr.. Hermann
made fairly good representative,
but it was more as a chores boy to
the departments than as a states
man. When he showed that he was a
mere trimmer for Office a great many
OF his old friends aside from silver
men were disguised.

The result Of the recent elections
have given the practical politicians"
OF the Republican party a remark
able abundance OF food for reflection.
The enormous majorities for Mr.. Nc
Kinley rolled up in the east and north
last year had put them In an over
confident mood. Not a few of them
we're so much carried away by their
triumph that they actually saw In
those majorities permanent Access
sion TO the Republican party strength.
The prediction that this Republican
vote could in one short year be re-
duced to the average 1t had shown be-
fore the Mckinley election, or even
below It, would have been laughed to
scorn by them. They are now begin
ming to perceive that the majorities
of last year were extremely uncertain
quantities; that they we're brought
about by the combination OF different
elements which united temporarily
for the sole purpose OF averting
great public danger; that the temper.
ary allies OF the Republican party re-
served to themselves their judgment
as to what course they would follow
in the future, and that their judg-
ment has largely been determined by
the use the Republican party has
made Of its power.
Republicans may also now be dis
posed to admit that TO hold the COM
bination together 1t was, above all
things, necessary that the Republican
party should give It's attention first TO
the object for the attainment CT
which the combination had been
formed, instead OF using its power
and opportunities exclusively for the
qualification of It's own partisan de-
slres, and that, as the Republican
rush for extreme pr1tectiDn aud fo1
the Offices was particularly dlstastefu
to the allies, the alliance was dissol
we'd as a matter OF course, and an anti
Republican current In the election
was bound to follow. AS u genera
rule, an alliance like that Of last yea
will necessarily go TO pieces as 500
as IL appears that It's principal bene
ficlary seeks to monopollze all the ad
vantages OF lt-Harper's Weekly.
