PROTECTION VS.. TARIFF FOR
REVENUE.

Workmen in Germany are
protected" by a tariff wall ap-
proximately as high as the Payne
Aldrich tariff wall. In England
the workers are not so protect
ed"
Result: Brick!ayers in free
trade England receive $9.72 per
week Of 81. 1-2 hours, while the
protected bricklayers of high-prc-
lection Germany receive $50
per week of So hours.
Here are few more compari-
sons which tel their own story:
England Germany
Carpenters, per wk, $9.44 $3.50
Filters, S.64 7.68
Compositcrs, " 1892 600
Plumbers. " 9.54 6.S8
And the cost of living is much
higher in Germany than in Eng
land.
JUGGLING THE FIGUREs.
Here is a business secret: If
you are running your concern at
a big loss, but wish to make the
figures show a big surplus,
simply put off paying bills until
after the reports of the receipts
and expenditures are made up
for the year.
This is the system by which
Postmaster General Hitchcock
put the postoffice on a paying
basis" according to charges
made by w. D. Brown, formerly
a government auditor, whose ex-
pose Of the situation is 80 obvi-
ously true Mr.. Hitchcock has
failed to reply.
Mr.. Brown shows that the al
legged balance of $219, 1881 an
nounced at the close of the last
fiscal year to the credit of the
postoffice department in reality
does not exist at all, but instead
there is really deficit of $780,
0O0.
RELIEF FROM EXPRESS CoMPAN-
les.
A charge Of % cents, instead
of ST. 80, for the delivery of a IL
pound package on rural free de-
livery routes, is in prospect, as
the result Of the action Of Demo
cratic members of the house
committee on Bostoffices and
postroadS in Incorporating in the
appropriations bill provisions for
a tentative parcels post system.
The committee members also
agreed upon q general domestic
rate Of II cents and a maximum
package of II pounds. This is
the present international parcels
post rate.
TAFT TARIFF BOARD TO co.
Tie Democrats have had sug-
gested to them a way to kill off
the Infamous Taft tariff board.
The plan is to pass through the
House a bill for the creation of a
bureau Of tariff statistics that
shall be responsible to the legis-
lative branch of the government,
instead of to the executive
branch alone. and that shall in
ycstiga.e and report Oh facts at
the request of the House, which
has authority TO initiate revenue
measures. There will then be
no necessity for an appropriation
for the tariff board, permitting
that body to die with this fiscal
year.

Congressman Hamilton some
time ago introduced a bill in
creasing the pension paid to
Nancy Murphy, Of Hazel Green
She died before the bill was

GoshOrn, the President evidently
desiring to insure Senator Hoods
vote for Davis Elkins for Sena-
tor even though he had to turn

Representative Hamilton made
4 speech in the House few days
ago in regard TO the resolution
for the investigation Of the so
called money trust. The re-
solution introduced by Congress
man Henry of Texas was sup
posed to have been inspired and
supported by William ]. Bryan.
The West Virginia members
voted solidly against the resolu-
ton. bat in favor of an investi-
cation by the banking and cur
rency committee, of which Con-
gresham Brown of West Virgin
ia is a member.
During the course Of his speech
in the. House. Mr.. Hamilton
brought out the fact that while
the differences between Mr..
Bryan and Chairman Under
wood of the Ways and Means
Committee has been elaborated
on In the Press, the numerous in
stances in which they had been
in full accord, had not been
brought out. He cited many
matters, which had come up in
the present Congress, in which
Mr.. Under wood and Mr.. Bryan
had been in full accord and
showed that while there had
been differences they were few
as compared to their agreements.
Mr.. Hamilton said that Mr..
Bryan is one Of the country's
great men, comparing him to
Clay and Blaine and that he had
been responsible for much OF the
legislation Of recent years, but
that in this ms lance he thought
ne was wrong and had voted
against his views, as did the res.
of the Democrats in the West
Virginia delegation.
The speech of Congressman
Hamilton in the House a few
days ago, in which he empha-
sized the agreements between
different Democratic leaders
rather than the difference be-
tween, attracted considerable at
tention. This view of the case
has seldom been brought out and
1t was noted that there was a
large representation Of congress
men present when Mr.. Hamilton
made his speech. He expressed
his appreciation of William j.
Bryan and the results which his
efforts have accomplished for the
country, but said that he could
follow no leader blindly and vote
with him continuously simply
because he was a leader. He
said he would vote with him
when he was wrong and thai
while Mr.. Bryan was often right
and had done much with the
Democratic party, he felt it
necessary 10 oppose his views in
the matter Of special commit
tee to investigate the so called
money trust"
Congressman Hamilton mas
introduced a bill providing for
the payment of $4,000 to Mary
A. Coleman Of Parkersburg
Mrs. Coleman is the widow OF
John W. Cole, a union soldier in
the Civil War, who was captured
by confederates and kept in
prison for IL months. He Claims
that he was not only deprived OF
his liberty and pay, but that h.
contracted disease, which re-
suited lin his death, for which she
asks payment.
Congressman Hamilton has in.
troduced a bill granting a pen-
sion to Charlotte Buc1 of Par
kersburg.
