what pleases and gratires the admin.
istration is sorely disappointing to
the country and the workingman and
farmers In particular. This sort OF
prosperity Is destructive and depress-
ing to American industry. This point
is well carried out in the comment Of
an eastern contemporary which main
tains:
this custom house alone by 5000 900 600
year without striking ~ n vast body
OF American wage earners. without
striking ultimately at our own farmers:
Tor when We take away wages from the
workers In our mills and factories We
take away by just that much the pur-
OF the products Of the farm
This large invasion OF the home
market by foreign manufacturers and
producers curtails just that much OF
American production. and IT falls
heaviest on the wage Garner and the
wage spending capacity OF the work
ers. The farmer Is hit in the same
proportion as the manufacturing in
dustries of the country. A skilled OBJ
server and analyst has said that for
every dollar which the government re-
ceives from increased revenue under
the tariff for revenue only" two dol.
lars is taken from some American
workingman. II Is a moderate state
ment. and a true one. The costliest
thing a nation can do is TO get more
revenue from the increased importa-
! ton OF competitive commodities.

In Direct Conflict.

The testimony Of Senator Chiffon
and the statement OF Col. Beal are
IN direct conflict II Is stated now
mat. prior TO the publication OF the
Beall Interview. Senator Moses Clam.
chairman OF the Investigations com.
mittee. was informed that Senator
Chiffon had solicited Col. Bean. in
the presence OF others, TO buy mining
stock. and Senator Clapp was urged
10 send for Beall and compel him TO
TESTIFY on this point This, Clapp de-
clined 10 do. or az least he didn't do
IL Now that Beall openly makes the
charge against Chiffon, there Is con.
siderable talk that the Investigation
wasn't "on the square," that ID was
whltewashed, and il was intended 10
be that at the start.
The Beall interview did not reaci,
here till Tuesday. and on that day N q
senate committee made its report
generating the senators concerned in
the charge OF misuse OF official lettev

also figured in the affair. was also ex-

OIL AND GAS

The cut in the quotation for crude
OIL OF the eastern fields yesterday
morning disslpated the hopes OF those
VINO had thought that perhaps IN
would not be reduced below SI75 for
crude OF the Pennsylvania grade. The
last preceding reduction was on June
10 when II was cut from 81 80 to 81 IS.
All eastern grades were reduced three
cents. except Corning. which remains
al SlOO. During the past ninety days
mere have been nine cuts In the ere lit
balance market The first seven were
OF ten cents each and the last two
az hve cents each. The loss to pro
ducers OF Pennsylvania crude Is now
80 cents or 30 per cent barrel. To
the owners OF small wells and there
are Few OF any other kind in the east.
ern helds-the reduction represents
a heavy loss and TO many removes
the prohts that were realized on a
higher market The new quotations
posted FOR crude OF the eastern grade
yesterday morning we're as follows.
pennsylvania. $40: Mercer. black.
and New Castle. 1927. Caben. 1892.
and Somerset. S1O2. Corning and
Ragland were not disturbed the
former remaining at 800 and the lat.
ter at 20 cents.
The cause for the last cut is due to
the same as brought the first. over
production in the Mid-Continent
helds and the failure on the part OF
the retailers 20 take the eastern pro.
duct Since the first OF the year
stocks OF crude in the eastern fields

that the scandal is by no means closed

mand being heard that the case be re-
