UNACCoUNrABLE IGNORANCE.

New York paper, deploring the specu-
lators' stringency in the money market of
Wall street, calls attention to the millions
of unused money in the subtreasury and
demands that the high duties of the pres
ent tariff be reduced so that less money
will collected as revenues, leaving the
larger volume to be tied up in stock specu-
lation and the unsaleable shares of water
logged trust stocks. Just now this class Of
sensational papers attributes every evil or
bit of ill-fortune to the Dingley tariff. But
for that tariff. these papers say, there
would be no coal strike and Pierpont Nor
gan would not be promoting worldwide
mergers. Indeed, it would not be surpris-
ing to read in these papers that the long
spell Of easterly weather or the premature
cold snap is each the result Of the out
rageous Dingley tariff.
The editorials of such papers cause sus-
picion that the writer's of them are selected
for their ignorance OF all facts regarding
the matters of which they write. Now. ii
is fact established by experience that the
reduction Of high duty on foreign goods
to much lower ore increases the revenue.
If we had to purchase a certain quantity of
foreign goods. the higher the duty the
greater the revenue, but we are not obliged
to purchase foreign goods such as we can
make at home. For instance. we can make
all the glass the country needs and more.
The tariff is wall to keep out Of our mar
ket the foreign-made glass. If the wall is
very high very little will come in, and the
amount collected as duties will be small,
but cut down the wall three or four feet,
or, rather, 80 or 40 per cent. and the for
eign-made glass will come to us by the
shipload, while the receipts from duties, 30
or 40 per cent. less, will be two or three
times as much as they would be under the
much higher duty. Every one who has
given any attention to the workings Of our
tariffs understands this. We are not col
lecting half as much revenue from the i'm
portation of woolens as we were in 1895 and
1896. when the duties were not much more
than half as high. Why do not the edi-
torial writer's for such papers possess
themselves of few facts that will enable
them not to mislead the people? Or is mis-
| leading their vocation?

SENATOR HANNA AND THE COAL
OPERATORS.

Senator Hanna is reported to have said
in New York, a few days ago, that ninety
per cent of the American people sympa
thize with the striking miners in this fight"
and that so strong is this feeling that
If the strikers need more money than
organized labor can raise. 1 know of bust
ness men who are willing to contribute
large checks rather than see the men
starved into submission" The Senator is
is still on when Congress meets. Baer and
his friends will hear something drop"
There can be no doubt that Senator Hanna
has expressed the popular sentiment. Not
a popular monopoly at any time. the an
thracite operators are now the objects of
widespread and deep dislike The refuta-
ton of President Baers representations
regarding the compensation of miners by
President Mitchell in a temperate state
ment places the managers in a very unen-
viable attitude before the country. Prob
ably the men would accept any sort of
to put an end to the strike, as he did in
1900, it would have ended a month ago If
not before. In 1900 Mr.. Morgan desired
the election of Mr.. Mckinley because. with
the election Of his opponent all his great
schemes would have fallen in ruins Now,
because President Roosevelt has declared
that great trusts must be supervised, Mr.
Morgan and his friends declare him an
unsafe man, whose reelection must be pre-
vented. Like President Hill, of the Great
Northern Railroad, Mr.. Morgan is angry
with the President for authorizing a suit
to be begun to inquire into the status of the
merger I'm which Mr.. Morgan was inter-
ested. Because of the Presidents atti-
tude toward great combinations, which is
that they shall not become monopolies,
Wall-street magnates attempted to prevent
the New York Republican convention from
indorsing the Presidents action and his
opinions. The attempt failed. Now Wall
street has sent some Of its representa-
tives to the Democratic convention In New
York to show their hostility to the Repub-
licans. 1t is known to the Republican con-
gressional committee that Wall street has
made contributions to the Democratic COM
mittee In the hope of electing a Democratic
House.

The reports from some of the South and
Central American republics indicate
spirit of resentment because the United
States is keeping its treaty obligations to
protect the operation of the Panama Rail-
road. The presence of marines along the
line Of the road Is regarded as evidence
of the imperialistic purpose of the United
States. forgetful of the fact that this
treaty was made years ago, and that
United States marines have guarded the
railroad on several occasions. There is an
other report that the South and Central
American republics, or part of them. may
unite in forming United States of South
America. This report is too good to be-
lieve. since anything like a union of that
kind would have a tendency to put an
end to wars between and revolutions in
them to some extent. The most fortunate
thing that could come to them would be
such a union under a man like President
Diaz, of Mexico.

MYSTERIOUS CONFERENCE.


PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 29.-President
Mitchell and Secretary Wilson. of the
United Mine Workers, arrived here at 79o
O'Clock this morning from Pittsburg They
were met at the Pennsylvania Railroad sta
ton by District Presidents Nichols, Fahey
and Duffy. of the three anthracite coal dis
tricts. After a hurried breakfast the labor
leaders went direct to the office of ]. j.
Keegan, business agent of the Machinists
International Union. Later President
Mitchell went to the Hotel Walton, unac-
companied by any of the labor leaders.
Soon after President Mitchell arrived at
the Walton Messrs. Wilson, Nichols,
Fahey and Duffy were sent for. and they
joined their leader in an upper room of the
hotel. The party remained in conference
until nearly noon. when Mr.. Wilson and the
three district presidents came down I'm the
elevator and hurried away from the hotel
refusing TO talk with reporters. They would
say nothing about their future movements
Treasurer Wilson said to representative
of the Associated Press that there is no in
dication of an early ending OF the strike
Because of the fact that the Walton is
the headquarters for state political leaders
q rumor prevailed that there was a political
significance In the mysterious conference.
This was denied by Treasurer Wilson, who
said the meeting had nothing TO do with
politics.
Mr.. Mitchell left the Hotel Walton at
1:15 ID. m, after being closeted with some
one in an upper room from a. m. He was
met by a number Of newspaper reporters
and TO each he made the same reply: IL
have nothing TO say.
Mr.. Mitchell would not tell the name of
the person with whom he conferred. nor
whether the conference was held with ref
erence to a speedy ending OF the strike II
suggested TO him that the presence OF
National Secretary Wilson at the confer
ence was because the organization wanted
TO strengthen itself financially. but to ev-

BOWEN ASKS FOR wARsHIPs.
Says the Government Intends to Cut
on All Communications.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-The following
cablegram has been received here from
Minister Bowen. dated at Caracas yester-
day:
Have been reliably informed that the
government will probably cut all the cable
lines this week. Therefore i suggest the
dispatch to this point of warships In case
communication is interrupted"
The dispatch is interpreted as showing
conditions unfavorable TO Venezuela, as.
except in the event that the tide has turned
strongly against IL, il is thought there
would be desire on its part to prevent
the news Of the happenings in the cam
paign reaching the outside world. AS for
the warships requested. the Montgomery

WASHINGTON. Sept. 9.-The Navy De-
partment is advised of the receipt of ca
bic dispatch from Vice Consul Ehrman, at
Panama. which states that the trains are
running regularly over the Panama Rail-
road and no disturbance. is apprehended.
Occasionally bands of insurgents are seen
along the line of road. but they offer no
obstacle to the operation of the trains.
The consul's dispatch is as follows:
Panama, Sept 2S.-Trains are running
regularly. In the last few days bands or
revolutionists have been seen on the line
of the railroad. The Governor has pro-
tested against the landing of Americans"
1t is gathered from the above that the
protest referred to was directed TO Com
mander Mclean, of the Cincinnati. during
the course of his visit TO Panama, as no
protest has come to the State Department
through any diplomatic channel Therefore
IL is proposed TO regard this matter as one
for the disposition of the naval authorities
on the isthmus, who are believed TO be bet
ter fitted to judge of the necessity for the
presence of the marines than any one here.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-Secretary
Moody to-day sent the following cablegram
to Commander Patch. of the Montgomery.
at Cape Haitien:
Proceed TO Port-au-Paix. Use discretion
about length of visit before proceeding to
Santa Marta"
The orders to the Montgomery to pro-
coed to Port au-Paix were a result of re-
ports received at the State Department.
To-day indicating disturbed conditions at
that place The Montgomery will proceed
from Port-au-Paix to Santa Marta, on the
north coast of Colombia near the mouth
OF the Magdalena river, where telegraphic

operations IL is said at the Navy Depart
ment that the cruiser San Francisco, which

flour mills in Minneapolis have comprom-
ised their differences. The men demanded
an eight-hour day with the same wages
they were receiving for ten-hour day.
The employers refused to accede to the de-
mand. Instead OF a strike conference
followed. when the employers proposed an
hour wage which considerably increased
the compensation, but not to the extent
previously demanded. The men. after de-
liberation. accepted. Consequently there
will be no strike in the great Touring mills,
no loss Of time. no boycott. no interruption
of business. How long before such adjust
ments will be the rule and the destruc-
tive strike the very rare exception?

the promotion of old officers. Those who
were lieutenants six years ago have
reached much higher ranks. one of them
being brigadier general; captains have
become colonies and majors brigadier gen.

Probably you know that Pittsburg has
had all kinds of political parties within the
past few years: Democratic, Republican.
Ring Anti-Ring. Citizen, and so forth.
Considering all this. there is a very appro-
pirate sign at the corner OF Fifth avenue
and Wood street, Keep OF the Fence"
/ do not know which party is responsible
for the sign. i suppose the intent is that
you should be either for or "forninst;"
either ring or anti-ring; no shifting; no
juggling; no carrying OF water on both
shoulders. Keep off the fence" That's all
right. Reminds me of part of a funny let
ter which was read In the late Billy
Barry's Irish play. '"rhe Rising Genera
tion"-"If you are for me, be for me; IL
you're not for me. don't keep those that
are for me from me-"
