THE WOOL TARIEE.

"At present the price of wool, meas
ured by other commodities" says the
Parkersburg Sentinel, sis lower than
it was ever known to be-" adding:
Compared with the values common
wool ought to fetch 25 cents a pound
in Wood county, but the trust will
not permit any such extravaganza.
Neither demand, supply, nor intrinsic
price of wool at the farmers market
place. The wool trust fixes any price
it pleases to pay and that is all there
is to it,
The same comment is heard through
out the country. The wool tariff, like
all the rest of it, is for trusts only, and
the farmer gets the worst of the wool
tariff as he does of McDingleyism in
general.
In order to bring outside competition
to terms the wool trust, which, by the
way, is a tight combine very little
heard of, recently lowered its prices all
along the line for all products under it's
control from 10 to 25 per cent.
AS a western contemporary puts it,
sit will be hard to define the exact
benefit that any raiser of sheep may
secure from a tariff that permits one
commercial interest to raise and lower
raw wool without any reference to the
supply and demand of the market He
will be as completely at the mercy of
the trust as the consumer. The wool
industry of the United States is not
on firm foundation when such an
internal warfare can be waged. The
actual worth of the wool cuts no figure
under the present arrangement The
exigencies Of trust manipulation are
the highest consideration. Protected by
the tariff, there is practically no re-
course for either consumer or pro-

THE OHIO SITUATION.

The Progressive Democratic Party
which has been trying to organize in
Ohio is anything but Democratic in its
opposition to the regular Democratic
party. 1t is not progressive" but de-
cidedly retrogressive.
Those back of this move might be in
better business than fighting the Demo-
cratic party in Ohio because their own
choice as to candidates and platform did
not prevail in the Democratic State Con-
vention.
There are plenty of Republicans for
Democrats to fight over there, and it
will be all that a harmonious and unit
ed Democracy can do to defeat them.
The Progressive Democratic Party,
however, doesn't seem to be flourishing
exactly as a green bay tree. At it's

there were less than dozen. The gen.

says he thought the convention knew
what it was about, but emphatically de-
clipes to allow his name to be substitut-
ed for that of DR.. Reemlin as head of the
ticket.
And SO matters stand. Better so

THE DEWEY DAY FUND SURPLUS.

THE DEWEY DAY FUND SURPLUS
The dispute as to what shall be done
with the unexpended portion of the
Dewey Day fund seems unnecessary
Why not compromise the matter?
Treasurer Lange wants to give II
hack to the original subscribers. Messrs.
Waterhouse and Horkheimer, Of the
committee. think 1t should be turned
over to the Board of Trade.
In the first place the money was given
for a public purpose and no subscriber
is asking for rebate.
Still. instead of turning the sum
over to the Board OF Trade without in
structions as to its use, suppose the
matter be compromised by consulting
the original subscribers as to what use
it shall be put to.
This would square matters. And in
this connection the Register would sug-
gest that this 1892 be used as a nucleus
for a manual training school fund. This
is an institution that Wheeling must
have sooner or later, and the sooner the
better for her chances in the close race
with her industrial competitors.
Mr.. Carnegie has built manual train
ing school for Homestead, and will
build another and greater similar insti-
tuition for Pittsburg. In his effort TO
rid himself of the incubus of his i'm
mense wealth the great philantropist
offers to erect these most valuable
schools-which unquestionably are the
schools Of the future-on the same basis
that he builds libraries in those COM
munities which agree to provide site
46nd support them.
why not devote the surplus left from
the Dewey Day fund to this important
purpose? 1t would make a nice nest
egg and would be rapidly added to by
the people if the object were the estab-
lishment of manual training in this city.

FOR TARIFF REDUCTION.

According to the Washington cores
pondent OF the New York Journal OF
Commerce, which is non-political
though a supporter of the administra-
tion in matters of finance, tariff redue-
ton continues to be the chief topic
among Republicans in Congressional
circles in connection with the coming
session of Congress, despite the depre-
cation of such talk by the Republican
leaders. There may be no general re-
vision OF the tariff schedule" says this
correspondent, but it cannot be de
MED that some Of the most influential
men in the dominant party are consid-
ering a reformation of the tariff. Presi-
dent Mckinley, himself, is reported as
engaged in the study of the commercial
situation and giving deep and earnest
thought to the subject OF reciprocity,
which is now understood to be another
name for tariff reduction
Although the Republican leaders pre-
tend to make light of the threatened
European tariff war on the United
States, they really take a very serious
view of the situation and the tariff will
be the chief subject of discussion at the
coming session of Congress The prime
cause of the renewed discussion is the
threatened high tariff in Germany.
While some officials affect to believe
that the high German duties will not
have any great effect upon American
exports to that country because the
goods we send to Germany are needed
by her people and must be had no mat
ter what the duty, still it is recognized
generally that these high rates are a
menace to the commerce Of the United
States with Germany.
IF the proposed tariff is enacted by
the Reichstag," says the correspondent
quoted, sit is believed here that steps
at once will be begun toward negoti-
ating a reciprocity treaty with Ger
many. The trade between the two
is too large and too much in
favor of the United States to be risked
in a tariff war between the countries.
Last year we imported from Germany
500, 1866 worth of goods and ex-
ported to that country $191,072,252.'
Once begun. however, the move for
tariff reform is not likely to stop at
so impotent a makeshift as "reeipro-
city
The American people demand some
thing more-a good deal more, since
American industry has goNen so far
out of its infancy as to dominate the
world The American consumer will
never be able to see the logic of high
tariff protection" for trusts which
charge him two or three times as much
as they charge foreigners for the same
goods, after paying both freight and
foreign tariffs.
