The Tariff Struggle.

The friends Of tariff may as we'll set
tie down to the conclusion that the free
trade Democrats will renew their at
tacks on the tariff in 1900. On this
question they arc more united than on
the free silver fallacy, and the money
question may be entirely eliminated SO
as to bring back the gold standard re-
calcitrants. a free trade writer re-
Gently expressed himself that "the
Democratic party will make tariff re-
form very prominent Issue in 1900
instead of n merely perfunctory declar-
alton OF traditional principles"
The Democrats do not regard the tariff
question as settled beyond the period of
President McKinley's term. They are
maintaining that the people have very
short memories. 1t was so in 1892. when
by the popular vote condition of sub
stantiai prosperity was converted into
prolonged disaster and distress. In the
face of the extraordinary showing for
the year 1895, when all previous records
Of prosperity We're surpassed. the free
trade press Is fighting protection as
vigorously as ever. There is no notion
of giving up the struggle. All signs
point to the intention of the Demo-
cratic party to make the tariff lead
Ing issue next year.

1t was grand meeting at the Opera
House yesterday afternoon. in obscrv-
ance Of the fourteenth anniversary Of
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton Of Wheeling. 1t was announced
that the association was in need OF
$1,000. the amount of deficiency car
ried over from two years ago, and an
appeal was made for popular subscrlp-
lions to wipe out the Indebtedness.
From all over the house came responses
TO the eloquent and witty appeal made
by Rev. Mr.. Buck. and in short time
SITS had been subscribed.
Although this readiness to help In
such n worthy undertaking as the Y. NJ.
c. a., was iaudabie. the entire $1,000
should have been raised without dinl-
Guilty. and 1t Is hoped and believed that
the balance will be subscribed by the
considerable portion of the public which
did not attend the anniversary OBJ
serrance, but which doubtless feels MS
hearty sympathy in the great work of
the Y. N. C. q. among the young men
OF this city. 1t would be distinctly dis
creditable to the city OF Wheeling II
this were not accomplished.

The Register has Il deal TO say about
the refunding measure the days
Someone has been rude enoug. to sug-
gest that the Registers opposition to
this measure was inspired by the fact
that Register, stockholders and friends
of the paper hold high interest bearing
bonds OF the city. OF course. these
people want per cent bond and do
not want TO exchange one for bond
bearing only 4 per cent. By the way 4
lower rate Of taxation would also suit
these investors in city bonds admir-
ably: It would mean inability to con-
tinue the present policy OF rapidly dis
posing OF the city's bonded indebted
ness. and certain persons investments
would be continued Indefinitely.

a Strained Situation,

The present week at Charleston will
be fraught with interest. as the bal
loting for United States senator will be-
gin on Wednesday. and before that
time. no doubt, some of the election
contests will have been settled. The
subcommittee Of the house committee
on privileges and elections which jour-
neyed to Grafton to inspect and count
the ballots In the Br0hard-Dent con-
test have found that Mr.. Dent is enti-
tied to the seat-that is according to
their computation. and to-day he will in
all likelihood be sworn In. The report
on the Roane county contest will prob
ably be submitted to the house and ac-
ton favorable to the Democratic con-
testant taken. The senate has decided
that the war senators" are entitled to
hold their seats. No decision has been
reached In Senator Kids case. The
situation is very much strained, and
the final outcome will be awaited with
much anxiety. Let us hope that it
will be settled in Il decorous and pleas
ant manner.

The cgotism of Col. Bryan is some
thing marvellous. He has been pleased
to place himself on the same plane &C.
cupied by the most notable characters
in profane and sacred history, and 1t
will not be surprising II he yet goes TO
the length of claiming the attributes Of
the deity.
He reached the height of absurdity In
compared himself to Elijah. 1--WE shall
yet see him posing as a miracle work
err" says the Cleveland Leader. Surely
he would be one II he could make fifty
cents worth of silver equal dollars
worth of gold in the markets of the
world, as he claims to be able to do,
and perhaps he is now paving the way
for some such demonstration Of his
supernatural power.
But the Boy Orator Is making an
egrcgious ass OF himself In his wild OPP
position to what he terms Imperial
ISM" for he is simply fighting straw
man, and is doing it only for political
purposes. 1t seems that the people
must some time discover the true char
acter Of Bryan. II they have not discov-
cred It already, and estimate him at
his true value. When they do that the
eyes OF the Democrats will be opened to
the utter absurdity Of their cause and
its leader"

THE CURRENCY BILL

We notice wall going up from
the Democratic press that the new
currency bill retires the greenback.
1t is surprising to hear the Demo
Gratis so loud in their praise of the
greenback, when but a few years
ago they could scarcely say mean
enough things about it. 1t is won
derful how they do finally see the
wisdom of Republican measures.
But they are wrong again. This
new currency bill does not retire the
greenback, as they would have us
think. Simply when it once finds
its way into the U. S. treasury it
will only be paid out again for gold.
Thus it preserves our gold reserve
instead of depicting it, as in the
good old Democratic days of Cleve-
land.
The bill provides for great in
crease of our circulating medium
instead of curtailing it.
Never fear, gentlemen, Republi-
can financial measures have always
been found to work out all right in
the end, except Sherman's silver
purchase act which was made as a
compromise measure with the free
silver advocates and proved very
calamitous proceeding, and we have
no doubt but the present bill will be
found to meet the requirements ex-
actly.
By the way, have you ever read
the bill?
