Wilson's Blunders on the Tariff

Professor Wilson always has been
careless of what he said about the tariff.
1t is subject on which he seems to be
badly informed. He made speech
not long ago in which he attacked Pres.
ident Taft for vetoing the monstrous
Metal bill, asserting that if the bill had
become law it would have greatly
cheapened agricultural implements
Apparently the Preseason is not aware
that agricultural implements are al.
ready on the free list when coming
from the United Kingdom or any other
country that admits similar American
implements free; and the duty is only
Is per cent from any country. But
Professor Wilson repeated the assertion
last week at Williams Grove, N. j.,
and probably will keep on stating what
is not a fact, in the belief that it will
be accepted as true. In the same way
he repeats in nearly every speech that
the Payne law increased the tariff rates,
though that is absolutely false. The
average tariff rate was greatly lowered
by the law of 1900, and is much lower
now than at any time for over half

piller reports none OF his men Injured

Strikers to Make Attack.
That the miners are preparing 20
make an attack in the strike scene
within the next twelve hours. and
probably before morning. is indicated
from the action OF the miners to-day
and tonight. From authentic reports
IL is learned that the miners have now
gone to Montgomery. hear the strike
scene. with a thousand rifles and "A
great quantity OF ammunition. Armed
miners were numerous tonight in the
Paint Creek territory and a conflict
with the state militia is believed TO
be near at hand.
Additional soldiers were late to-
night despatched to the section OF the
district where the armed miners are
gathering. The soldiers being down in
in the valley and the miners on the
hillsides and more familiar with the
rugged hills. and many times utnum
bering the state militia. an attack by
the miners. which is likely to occur
when the militia attempts 10 march
up through the strike district. gives
the miners added advantage over the
soldiers.
Purchase More Guns.
More rifles were purchased in this
city. several cases being sent to points
near the striking district. With the
additional rifles and ammunition it is
believed there are enough rifles to
supply every one OF the eight or nine
thousand union miners in that section
OF the kanawha coal district with at
least one rifle. Up until tonight the
coal operators have shown no dispo-
sition TO dismiss the mine guards
against whom the miners are es-
pecially bitter and whose presence are
believed To be largely responsible for
the present tense situation.
