BRIDGEPORT,

A SHORT time ago the county COM
missioners let the contract for dig
ging a we'll at the toll gate west of
town, thinking that water could be
reached at about fifteen or twenty feet.
The men to whom the contract was
awarded began work, and at twenty
feet no water was to be had. The
commissioners ordered them 10 con-
tinue the work and now they are
down to a depth of thirty feet, which
is about fifteen feet below the level
of the creek bed, which is not twenty
yards distant, and still they have no
sign of water. The hole fills up with
a sort of gas which necessitates an air
pump being kept in almost constant
use, so that the men can continue their
work. Once or twice one of the men
was so completely overcome that he
had to be hauled up and taken to his
home. They are very much puzzled
as to why they do not find any water,
for the place is situated in a valley in
close proximity to Wheeling creek.

Persistent Advertising
Brings Success.
A LITTLE TIN PLATE HISTORY.

The Fourteenth street organ has
swung around once more to its old-time
falsehood to the effect that the tinplate
industry of the United States was built
up by and because of the monopoly
tariff policy of the Republican party.
AL this late day it would be scarcely
worth while to spare the space neces-
sary to refute this time-honored polit-
ical fake were the organa above referred
to, which seems to think the people
have forgotten the facts in this case,
not SO persistent in its misrepresenta-
tons.
1t is a fact, not disputed, that the
tinplate industry had no existence,
whatever, in this country prior to the
passage of the tariff of 1894, commonly
known as the Wilson bill, which the
trust organs delight to call the free
.rade" Wilson tariff-evidently obliv-
lous to the bull in that title. Although
a tremendous protective" tariff had
DetH lcNleu Ou iLHpOIteu JlHpldle dlhioSl
frcm time immemorial prior to 1894
there had never been an ounce of COM
mercial American tinplate made in the
United States in all that time. The
tariff was simply a useless burden On
the people and did nc American indus
try the slightest good.
Why? Simply because the raw mater
ial of the tinplate industry, tin, was
not, commercially. an American pro-
duct and the tariff on the foreign pro-
duet was so great that tinplaJe could
MOI be made in the United States in
competition with Wales. In fact, if the
grand old party of the trusts had de-
liberately planned to assist the tin
plate industry of Wales at the expense
of the United States it could not have
done it more effectively than it did by
its idiotic tariff policy.
Then a Democratic Congress was
elected and sane men, with William l..
Wilson at their head. were placed on
the Ways and Means Committee.
What was the result? Among the
very first things they did, amid wild
bowls of British free traders" from
the 6. D. p. organs and politicians, was

to place tin. the raw material Of the

to place tin. the raw material Of the
tinplate industry, on the free list.
Again, what was the result? 1t is
a matter of recent history and is within
the memory of every person in the Ohio
Valley. There was a sudden boom in
the American tinplate industry, which
had before existed only in political i'm
aginations and on paper. Given its
chief raw material free the rest was
easy to American ingenuity.
And from the passage of the "free
trade Wilson bill dates the life of the
American tinplate industry.
These are simple facts known to al
most every man, woman and child in
the Ohio Valley. Everybody in Wheel
ing knows that tinplate was an un-
known article of commerce in this sec
ton and that no tinplate mills existed
here until after the Wilson bill put
the raw material of this industry on the
free list.

gans cannot get away from, much as
they may bank on the forgetfulness of
the people.
There is one thing in this connection
that we will admit. however, namely,
that under the Wilson bill there was
no tinplate TRUST, such as has since
grown up under the fostering care Of
the party of trusts, and which has
doubled the price of tinplate to the
American consumer until it would be
cheaper to buy it abroad as we did
prior to 1894.
And it is worth while remarking
right here that this most effectively
demonstrates the difference between
the tariff policies of the two great par
ties in this country. While the Demo-
cratic party aims to build up legitl-
mate American industry, the Republi-
can party aims to foster trusts, illegit-
innate monopolies, at the expense of
honest industry, which monopolies in
return allow the leaders of that party
a generous 'rake-off" at campaign times
to the end that the good thing" of
robbing the American consumer may
be continued with impunity by the
maintenance of the trust politicians in
power.

ANOTHER COMMISSION FARCE.

Whenever Mr.. Mckinley got in a
tight place during the Spanish wal he
at nee shouldered all the responsible
ity onto a convenient but irresponsible
commission, which did just what he, or
Hanna, wanted it to do, having been
appointed for that purpose. The great
est farces that ever disgraced American
history were enacted by these commits
sions which investigated" the con-
duct of the war.
Now we are treated t. another of
the same kind of su%bservient commits
sion. 1t is called the Industrial Com
mission, and is sitting at Washington
during the recess of Congress for the
ostensible purpose of investigating the
trusts.
The mere statement of its alleged
purpose will raise a broad grin. The
idea of the McKinley-Hanna regime
investigating the trusts, without whose
assistance William Mckinley would
now be a private citizen of Canton, O.,
is rich, indeed.
But a so-called industrial commits
sion has actually been appointed and
is at work. OF course, it was carefully
seen to in advance, however, by a par
tisan Speaker of a house whose major
ity owes its election to the trusts, that
the investigating body should be COM
posed as far as decency and minority
representation would permit, of none
but trust men.
Like all of Mr.. McKinley's numerous
farcical commissions, it was organized
simply as a tub to the popular anti
trust whale which has begun to get de-
cidedly FESTIVE under the present trust
administration, under whose fostering
care the trusts own pretty much every
thing in sight from the President of
the United States down.
These alleged trust investigators
were appointed evidently to take the
testimony of such persons as were
friendly to the trust idea. However, as
in the case of the administrations Jug
handed war investigation commissions.
all undesirable testimony could not be
excluded. They couldn't prevent Hav-
emeyer, of the Sugar Trust, from tell
ing the truth that the Republican
tariff policy was the mother of trusts,
although his testimony was a great sur
prise on account of its frankness, and
they have since threatened all sorts of
dire tariff vengeance on the sugar
king.
President Dove, of the Commercial
Travellers League, was another sur
prise. He testified to the throwing out
by trusts of hundreds of men who made
good salaries under the competitive
system; hat the outrages and tyran-
MES perpetrated by the Standard Oil
| and other trusts were laid bare, with
the methods pursued by many of the
unlawful combines, in curtailing pro-
duction, raising prices and bulldozing
transportation companies into accept
ing rates that are violative Of the In
terstate Commerce law.
Despite this evidence, however, and
considerable more which the commits
sion was forced to listen to, We are
told by a leading member of the COM
mission that trusts are good things.Y

LOOKS VERY MUCH LIKE Nc LEAN.
Ohio politics is beginning to boil
and bubble and the more it boils and
bubbles and the scum of uncertainty is
skinned off the more it looks as If
Cousin John R. Mclean would have a
walk-over for the Democratic nomina-
ton.
Democrats who used to look askance
at Mclean are beginning to pin their
faith to him as the ablest campaigner
in the State and a really faithful and
consistent Democrat. This is true of
Democrats not only in Ohio but in the
country at large, who are watching
the situation in Ohio and looking to
Mclean as the most available man to
redeem the Buckeye State.
1t is said that Mclean has not sought
the nomination and would not have it
if he had to fight for it at the expense
of splitting the party. But his stock
is already quoted away above par. If
he is nominated for Governor he may
be depended upon to make M of the
liveliest campaigns that even Ohio
ever saw. He will keep his Republi-
can opponent on the jump, for John R.
is nothing if not a hustler.

1.-THE formation OF trusts says Re
calmly, lis nothing more than the out
growth of new business conditions in
the country" and sin many cases will
prove a benefit to the country"
This is doubtless the keynote to the
finding of the commission. And we
may expect the next plank of the Re-
publican platform to declare that bad
trusts are bad. but good trusts are
good; and most of them are good"
Then everything will sail along smooth
ly and the trusts may be depended
upon to give freely of their ill-gotten
millions when next Hanna passes
around the hat for the second term
campaign.
What else could be the upshot of this
alleged Industrial Commission The
Republican party as at present consti-
tuted cannot afford to desert the trusts,
which furnish it it's sinews of war; and,
vice versa, the trusts cannot afford to
desert the Republican leaders, who
stand between them and the law.
