gentleman was that the manufacture Of
bicycles and typewriters might be un-
dertaken in this city with distinct adj
vantage, and yet another thought was
for a structural iron and steel works,
embracing bridge construction as a
feature.
Certainly no better manufacturing
point could be obtained than Wheel
ing, and we possess every advantage
held by any other community, and not
even Pittsburg can beat US in anything
except, perhaps, the price of coke, and
we will soon remedy that little matter.
But this is all aside from the mer-
camille benefits to accrue from the
active work of the Board of Trade,
That feature is another story, and we
have heretofore referred to it in detail.
The thing to do is to promote the gen
eral cause in every possible way, and
as an Inevitable result benefits will
accrue to all.

DON'T FORGET 1T.

The business men and citizens of
Wheeling generally should not allow
the whirl and swirl OF political excite
ment to drive from their minds the
aims, ambitions and ends of the Board
of Trade, recently organized, and which
promises such effective work for the
good of the entire community. Our
most energetic. capable and enterprising
men are behind this movement for the
business and industrial betterment of
Wheeling, and they should and must
be given the most hearty encourage
ment and support. Money has been
pledged in liberal amount, but there
should be more of it, that the plans al
ready matured and in contemplation
may be carried out in the best manner
and with assurances of the most bene-
fetal results. But equally important
with the financial end is the moral
support of all, and an universal in
terest in and encouragement of the
organization. Money will do much, bu.
it will not do everything There must
be behind the subscription determina-
ton to aid in making the subscription
count. Officers and committees must
be supported, suggestions made, coun-
sci given and ideas advanced These
things will go for much, and collective
" will produce results.
Suggestions will in particular be
gratefully received by the officers of the
Board of Trade. One was made yes
:erday to a representative of the Reg
ster by an old and we'll known manu-
facturer. This gentleman threw out
the idea that if an effort was made to
secure for this city factory for the
turning out of automobiles In their
various forms, 1t would be good thing
both for the community and for those
interested, and in his accompanying
remarks he pointed out that the pro-
duct of such factory commanded
good prices, called for high grade of
skilled workmen at good wages. and
would be something entirely new.
Another idea advanced by another

THE REDUCTIONS IN WAGES.

Day by day and every day the tele-
graph brings information of the clos
ing of industries and reductions in the
wages of operatives, and the conclusion
is irresistible that the alleged Repub-
lican prosperity" the country has been
subjected to for couple of years past
is rapidly growing small and beautiful
ly less.
The Register has, during the past
four weeks, in the ordinary course of
printing the news, and entirely with
out any special effort, chronicled re-
duction after reduction, strike after
strike, and shut down after shut down,
all involving a loss of money to work.
ingmen, but as yet there has been no
reduction in the price of living to COM
pensate for this loss of earning power,
aside from a decrease in the price of
sugar, largely due to the decreased de-
mand at the close of the fruit and can
ming season.
And not only is this the present sit
uation, but it promises to become
steadily worse, despite the frantic en-
deavors of Republican party managers
like Mark Hanna to stave off the inev-
liable until after election day. 1t was
only yesterday that the Register chron-
icled a reduction OF TWENTY-FIVE
per cent. to several hundred Pennsyl-
vana iron workers. Others have been
hit almost as hard, and others still are
fearful for the immediate future. Yet
