In selecting candidates for the spring elections, the party should be careful to select the best man for each office to be filled. Nothing is lost by having a strong ticket and much is gained to the town when they are elected.

Capital may absorb profit 1 y legal contract, but labor is its i .ghtful heir. Public opinion renews the demand of 18113 for partisan! prudence and personal patriotism—• Clapp & Co. 's Weekly market letter. Public sentiment in the South is becoming much unsettled if we may judge from a special to the St. Louis Louis Globe-Democrat which says; “The course of Congress is most extraordinary in delaying action on important matters while the people are suliering. I fear we will have a bard lime keeping our party intact j ia the next campaign. There is a 1 •cling of bitterness toward the parly by life-long Democrats which has never been equaled, li is our misfortune every time the party gets in power to have a lot of cranks who work injury by their wild policy. 1 uless there is soihe chance, and l.iat very shortly, the‘Solid South' i.iay ere long be only a remembrance. he course of Democratic Senators i i retarding action on the Sherman 1 ill excited great indignation, and now the prospect of long-winded debates on the tariff legislation is increasing the restiveness. Are (,• jr Congressmen crazy or blind that they can not perceive the danger which threatens the party by < slaving relief to the people? The army of unemployed is growing! every day, business continues de-j pressed, honest, earnest men who, nave worked industriously find their effortsJTuilless, and many have been forced to Ihe wall by this stringency which, by wise and conservative' 1‘glslation. could be relaxed if not entirely dissipated, it is the first lime in years that I have felt discouraged at the outlook. May the new year bring us some kind of relief." Last fall the Review of Reviews suggested a tariff commission who should determine what rates should be charged on imports and settle these for a period of years. We believe it is a good suggestion from a business point of view. The tariff is not a political but a business matter and should be settled not by politicians but by business men. There is no legislation which so quickly affects business interests as tariff legislation, and no legislation ,so sorely demands that it be confected on purely business principles. Let us have a tariff commission of say five or seven members representing all parts of the country; let j them be chosen not for political j reasons but for their proven business J ability: let them be men of sufficient j firmness of character to tvsis i. .he ha-

portunities of prejudiced parties; let them be men in whose honesty the business men of the country have confidence. Give these men power ! to determine what tariffs are necessary and just for purposes of protection and revenue, and give)them power to fix these tariffs for a period of years, and to change them after due notice to the business interests involved, and we believe the country would be immensely the gainer. True by this plan, the leading political parties would have their best foot ball taken away, but that could be endured if the business interests of the country can be made gainers by the transaction. Business before partisanship should govern this commission and properly appointed it would. The imposition of tariffs would be made on purely business principles. To have had such a commission during 1898 would have removed a leading cause of the disturbed conditions of industry of the country, and our factories could not have closed on account of impending changes in tariff laws. livcrlitslluclr Kpppiiij.

BYNUM’S ADMISSION. Object of WflHon Bill to Increase Wages Abroad and Kedueo Them Here! Trentov, N. J., Jan. 2. — A committee of manufacturing potters recently went to Washington to induce the Ways and Means Committee to restore some of the disastrous reduction in the proposed tariff on crockery. The delegation was turned over to Congressman Bynum one of the prominent members of the Ways and Means Committee. Mr. Bynum was told how the pottery industry would suffer if the tariff was cut as intended. “The only way in which we can continue in business,” said the spokesman for the delegation, “is by reducing the wages of our workingmen tc a pitiful point in order to compote with foreign manufacturers. The trade is already anticipating what will happen. Foreign producers, we can well suppose, will even increase the paltry wages of their employes in order to get out the ware to supply the tremendous business that will come to them. Don’t you see how it will affect the workingmen in this country?" Bynum’s face lighted up with a smile, and he replied; “Well, you fellows will be just as off. The increase in wages on the other side will be offset by the decrease in wages in your establishments. You can compete all right and make money.” Quick as a flash one of the delegation turned to the Congressman and said: “Do you mean to say, Mr. Bynum, that the object of the Wilson bill is to increase wages in Great Britain and other countries and reduce wages in the United States?” “That's it.” The next minute he understood what a fatal admission he had made, bit his lip and said he trusted the delegation would consider his remarks as strictly confidential. The above story came directly from the lips of a leading potter of this city.—Cincinnati Tribune. j ’ . 1 G60 S. COOK, DEALER IN LUMBER, LATH AND SHINGLES. RED CEDAR POSTG.
