STATE FAIR RACES
Biggest Purses Ever Hung Up For Speed
Trials in the State of West Virginia.

Trials in the State Of West Virginia.
The average reader takes au-
nouncements of shows and fairs
with the provisional grain of salt.
Aside from the fact that the West
Virginia State Fair, now In It's 23rd
year, has been personally visited by
nearly every adult In this commit
nifty, all of whom can attest the
truthfulness of representations by
the management. the purses and
prizes which are hung up indicate
that the Fair which opens at Wheel.
ing on September 9TH and continues
all week Is to be conducted on a
more elaborate scale than ever be-
fore.
One department will serve to IL
lustrate the point. Last year when
1t was announced that $3.50 would
be given In purses for the races,
there were those who predicted the
bankruptcy of the Association. 1t
was found, however. that liberality
brings fast steppers, and fast step
pers bring the crowds, and that
therefore the big purses paid. There
was ore race for a 81 900 purse.
This year there are two $1,000
purses, and the aggregate money
for the speed contests will be $3.50.
The same liberal spirit will govern
the expenditures In other depart
ments.

coERcIoN OF bREAp WINNERS.

When the allied corporations brought

bear upon wage workers on their pay
rolls to force the nomination Of the dele
CATION which has so lagrantly misrep-
resented Douglas county in the legisla-
ture they furnished Omaha al object
lesson of corporate mlsrule. The qucs-
ton is, VIII the bread winners Of
Omaha allow themselves to be dra-
gooned and coerced into supporting the
corporation ticket with an anti-machine
label at the republican primaries?
Omaha wage workers are mostly
home owners and share in common
with all other classes of citizens the
burdens of taxation, only more so. Are
we to witness the spectacle ono more
Of thrifty, industrious home owners
voting themselves and the city into
corporate bondage? VIII the wage
workers of Omaha loan themselves vol,
unfairly or ~involuntarily to the nomina-
ton of a a and council dictated by
the corporations and pledged in advance
to Ubiquitous discrimination against
the home owners in municipal assess
ments and taxation?
In the language used by The Bee just
before the last republican primaries:
Let us express the hope that Omaha
wage workers viii not allow themselves
to be driven by corporate bosses into
voting into office men who have nothing
in common with the ommon people.
The mar who allows himself to be CO.
creed into voting against his own con-
scientious convictions is no better than
a slave. No greater calamity could be-
fall the city of Omaha than the enslave-
ment of the bread winners by their task
masters. The most precious heritage of
American freemen is the right to par
ticipate on equal terms in the choice of
public servants. The greatest injury
that can be offered to the bread winner
is a command to do violence to his OWL
conscience in the exercise of the elective
franchise"

"Our republican friends" remarks the
Brooklyn Eagle, will find themselves
put on the aggressive or defensive, both
this year and next year, on tariff ques-
tions and they will do well to choose
which role betimes. II Will not be post
poned. 1t will not be silenced. We do
not presume any republican statesman
expects to avoid the tariff issue" Re
publican statesmen are already showing
that they neither expect nor desire to
avoid the tariff 'Vsue. President Roose-
welt has given his views in regard to
the tariff in no uncertain or e~quivocal
language. He regards It as a matter
to be treated from the standpoint Of
our business needs, always keeping in
view the principle of protection. 1--WE
have prospered marvelously at home"
said the president. "As a nation we
stand in the very forefront IN the giant
international Industrial competition of
the day. We cannot afford by any
freak Of folly to forfeit the position to
which we have thus triumphantly at
tanned"
Two other republican statesmen, Sec
r~etaries Root and Shaw, have recently
discussed the tariff and very plainly
stated their position. They are III
%qualiiedly for the maintenance of pro-
lection to our industries and labor. We
do not know of any republican Of promi-
nence and influence who Is not In favor
of this. Those who urge tariff revision,
as Representative Babcock and Gov.
ernor Cummins, do not want the aban.
donment of protection. There is no
reason why any republican statesman
should wish to avoid the tariff issue.
The justification of republican policy
In this respect 1s so complete. in the
great development of our industries, in
the vast benefits to labor, and in our
wonderful commercial progress, that on
no other issue can the republican party
make so strong a claim to the support
Of the country. We do not think there
can be a reasonable doubt that at this
time a very large majority Of American
voters are in accord with the views
Of the republican statesmen who have
recently discussed the tariff. We do
not believe there has been any material
change in public opinion on this ques-
ton since the last presidential election
and there is not likely to be any before
the next national election.
The democratic assault on republican
tariff policy Will make very few con-
verts under existing conditions of pros
perity. The second Cleveland admin
istration is still remembered by most
of our people. and particularly by those
employed in the manufacturing indus
tries. They do not want a repetition
Of the hard and bitter experience of

The United States steel corporation has
approximately 81, 900 shareholders. OF the
total number over 1000 are preferred
Shareholders and $1,000 holders Of the COM
mon stock. This is an increase OF 5000
within three months, with the increase
approximately divided into 1000 preferred
and 5000 common shareholders.
II the present rate Of Increase Is main
tained the total number Of United States
Steel shareholders will within two years
reach 100, 900, which is the maximum figure
predicted by an Official of the Steel cor
poration. aF
In the past year the National Tube
company has effected savings Of about
5000, 900 annually in salaries OF the export
department. The removal OF the export
department to Plttsburg and combining
1t with the domestic sales departments
saved about 800. 900, while the resigna-
lions of two successive presidents, who
had been drawing high salaries, and the
promotion of lower ohcials, with slight
increases In salary without filling their
places, with a few other changes, made
UP about 800, 900 more. It is reported that
the Tube company president formerly got
$780, 900. t.t
Similar changes have been going on in
other subsidiary companies In the Steel
corporation. The main changes are due
to the simplifying Of the buying and new
construction departments. Formerly the
greatest ability was required in the buy
ing of pig irons each company making
such purchases requiring a high-priced man
to look after II. Now this is done for the
whole corporation by one man. Proposed
engagements and improvements are passed
on by Steel corporation officials and the
presidents OF all the subsidiary companies.
In the selling end there AVE been
changes, but they are not all chargeable
to saving, since much of the change has
been in the direction OF selling more to
the large jobbers, part Of the saving being
given to such iobbers at q lower price.
Some of these subsidiaries now have, for
their principal product. probably less than
100 customers each. Independent manu-
facturers are now in several lines competi-
tors of the jobbers buying from the cor
poration, rather than competitors Of the
corporation itself.
The sale OF the Crucible Steel company
to the United States Steel company re.
vived rumors that the Jones & Laughlin
company will be the next independent con-
Germ to go. 1t is known In inner circles
that the Jones & Laughlin people have been
offered a price in 8 per cent gold bonds for
their plant, but they feel that 1t is worth
more, and until the sun is raised by the
Steel corporation there will be no further
negotiation.
The sale Of cruc'ble steel will cut of the
only outside sources of supply to the In
dependent manufacturer OF the country.
and they will be forced to go to the United
States Steel company for material. =

Louisville Courier Journal

Louisville Courier-Journal
The editor Of the Courier-Journal was
fighting trust and trustism when Mr.. Bryan
was creeping like a snail unwillingly to
school; nor was he using bows and ar
rows against Mauser rifles, either. On
the lines Of the Chicago platform Of 1896,
and OF the Kansas City platform Of 1900,
Mr.. Bryan led the party to a disastrous
defeat, meeting a dwindIing, not a rising
vote. On those lines the republicans
would be assured OF a victory each sue
ceeding four years to the end Of time. Yet.
because the Courier-Journal urges the
party to turn its back upon the dissen-
sions which brought defeat, to plant its
feet upon high and solid ground. to set It's
face resolutely to the future and the foe,
this Obstinate, ill-judging, self-important
~youth-grown rich as a candidate for Of
hce, full Of the bravery Of his conceit and
inexperience-has the effrontery to Ques-
ton our fidelity and our sincerity.
Mr.. Bryan speaks disdainfully Of money.
Money is as needful to political battles
as powder and ball to real battles. Does
Mr.. Bryan think that Mr.. Tilden was less
a democrat because he was a rich man
That is the meaning Of what he says: II
a man be not a pauper he is a republican.
In Mr., Bryan's vocabulary democracy and
| defeat are synonymous terms. The mo-
ment a democrat looks like a winner Mr..
Bryan begins to hate and abuse him.
The boys are mighty tired Of 1t. They
are hungry and thirsty. They can see moth

continued dissension, hopeless division and
certain defeat. II Mr., Bryan has his way
II is another drubbing in 1904. II he does
