"
manufacture its own gas. An official of the
company said:
WILXi MAKE THKIH OWN GAS.
Wc had intended to discontinue tliB use of
the Philadelphia Company's gas by the first of
the year, any way, so that the notices do not
hurt ns much. We have a plant that will cost
ustlKUCO when completed, and we can mate
the pis at least S3 per cent cheaper than it now
costs ns. We hare some of the furnaces com
pleted, and will have the whole plant In opera
tion betore the end of the year. We have
never been approached on the meter question.
I do not know whether e could use a meter or
not. We do not consume nearly so much pas
as is required to run a puddling -irnace. They
inelt their iron while we only bring it to weld
ing beat.
Mr. Max Moorhead, of Moorhead & Mc
Cleane, said they were perfectly willing to
comply with the" request of the Philadelphia
Company to use gas only in the daytime, as
it pave them a more liberal snpply of gas at
night. II is firm has made no preparations,
either to make gas of their own or to go back
to coal, and it is not fearful of the supply
being cut off entirely this winter.
METERS FORJVERY MILL.
THE FINAL AIM OF THE EQUITABLE GAS
COMPANY.
It Finds the Introduction of the Meter Is
Greeted With Much Favor A Large
Iron Manufacturer Satisfied With the
Itesnlts Obtained.
The Equitable Gas Company people say
that the action of the Philadelphia Company
does not affect them in any way. Speaking
of the meters used by the Equitable, Presi
dent Robert B. Brown said that they ranged
in registering capacity from 1,000 to 49,000
feet an hour. The largest meter the com
pany has is thatatthejblast furnace of Sboen
berger, Speer & Co., at Fifteenth and Etna
streets. That has a capacity for registering
nearly 50,000 feet an hour, though, as a
ru e, t seldom went beyond 30,000.
Continuing, Mr. Brown said that all their
patronage was from rolling mills and pud
dling furnaces. Their aim was to pnt
meters eventually in all these places, as it
would be more satisfactory to the company
as well as to those who used the gas.
Whether it would be necessary to use a
larger mete, than that in Shoenbergcr's
puddling furnaces, he did not know. He
thought, however, that if there were meters
needed :or the registration of gas to a greater
amount than 50,000 leet an hour, they could
be supplied. As yet the company had not
had any call for a larger meter.
A SATISFACTORY ARKAXGEMENT.
Treii irtt Brown remarked that of course
there w. a great deal of waste in the pud
dling furnaces, hue tljere were contracts
made with the owners, and both parties ap
peared lo be satisfied. The company pro
posed to go on as it had started, its primary
idea being ta furnisn gas to the mills and
furnaces. He thought the Philadelphia
Company had issued the order to shut down
on the puddling furnaces for the reason that
it had not particularly catered to that line
of trade, and wanted to confine its opera
tions to dwellings, as there was more money
in domestic consumption.
Jo!. n Z Speer, o Shoenberger & Co., in
speaking of the meter used at the blast
furnaces of the company, said that while he
hardly Lt.ew its registering capacity he
thought that the average was about 35,000
fcei an hour. They got their gas lroni the
Tquitable, and were much more satisfied
sir.ee the meter had been put in. because the
an.rmr.t ot gas consumea could be reculated.
Their meter, which is about G by 4 feet, had
nrked smoothly, and he saw no reason why
they could not be placed in all puddling
furnaces.
A METER FOB EVERY FURXACE.
He understood that the Equitable was
trying to put meters in all puddling fur
naces, and he saw no reason why it shonld
not do so. There was hardly any furnace in
Pittsburg or Allegheny that would need a
larger meter than the one in use by his com
pany. Mr. Speer, in further talk in regard to
economy in the use of gas and registering
the supply consumed, said that a number of
ns3 furnaces had been designed and put in
use with the idea of saving gas, but they
had nearly all proved failures. It was
found at times they would throw
out such intense heat that the
men could not work. The gas was saved,
but time was lost. The Equitable line w.is
built to supplv the manufacturers along the
Alleehenv river, and so far as he knew
there would be no increase in the rate per
foot. The meter, he thought, was an excel
lent thing for the company, as well as for
the consumer. It would give satisfaction all
around.
kARGEST METERJN THE CITY.
THE CITIZENS' TRACTION COMPANY HAS
A WHOPPER.
r Xow Measuring About Half a Million
IVetaDaj Its Full Capacity Net er Yet
Tetted Fnith of the Consumers in It.
The meter at the Citizens' Traction Com
paoy's power house, Thirtv-fourth street and
Penn avenue, has the largest registering ca
pecitr of any in the citj. It is shaped like
a huge covered lton bowl. It is about lour
feet high and six feet in diameter. Above
it, and where the gas enters the bowl, is the
register. There are seven dials. They reg
ister respectively in feet, 1,000,
10.000, 100,000. 1,000,000, 10,000,000,
160,CO0,000 and 1,000,000,000. There are
light bo;lcr in the station, but
outy four aie rue at one time. Of course,
much depends udoii the draught as to the
qcantitv of gas consumed. Yesterday, by
watching the :oot register, it was found that
it took the hand just three and a half
minutes to raasc the circuit of the dial,
showing that 1,000 ieet weic burned in that
time.
Au employe of the Philadelphia Com
pany, whose gas is used, estimated that,
with four boilers, the consumption for a day
of 24 hours averaged 31G.000 leet.
MOSEY SAVED THE CONSUMER.
Saperiutedcnt ltugg said that the Traction
people had had no trouble with the Phila
delphia Compauy,and had received no notice
from the latter as to anv change in policy,
ho tar as the Citizens' Company was con1
ctrned.
"I want to say," remarked Mr. Kugg,
'that w e tried for a long time to get a meter
placed here. We have been receiving gas
under contract, but last summer we induced
the Philadelphia Company to put in this
meter. Since that time its agents and our
employes have kept a close watch upon its
workings. It has demonstrated to me the
lact that we have been paying fcr more gas
than we used. We were, in fact, paying for
the waste of other people. As it is now, we
pay for just what we use and no more.
"Beginning with the 1st of November
the meter will start its work for us, we being
under contract up to that time. What are
we to nay a thousand feet? Well, now, just
ask that young man who is taking an ac
count ot the register."
MIGHT BE A SPECIAX BATE.
The young man referred to, in reply to a
similar question, satd that the gas would be
furnished to the Traction people at the rate
of 7J cents per thousand feet Whether
that rate would hold with other large con
cerns possessing registers be did cot know.
Mr. ltugg was satisfied that the meter
n-onld solve the problem of the waste of
natural gas. If a meter the size ol the one
in the Traction station could be used with
succe s, he couldn't see why they could not
be just as successful in the mills. He did
not see that the gas was any cheaper than
coal, but it certainly had the great advant
age of cleanliness.
"Who pays for the meters ?" Mr. Eugg
wak asked.
"Well," reDlied that gentleman, "the
Philadelphia Company put it in, and, of
course, is supposed to pay for it, but in the
long run you may rest assured the Traction
company will foot the bill. "What I mean
is that we will eventually pay for it in pay
tug fcr the gas we consume."
IN THE SAME BOAT.
THE ALLEGHENY MILLS MUST NOW GO
BACK TO COAL.
Iat Complications May Arise and Claims
for Damages be Made Coal 19 Cheap
as Gas The Stoppage Thought to be
Only Temporary.
The mill patrons of the Allegheny Heat
ing Company, which is supplied with gas
by the Philadelphia Company, are in the
same boat with the Pittsburg manufacturers
and at 6 o'clock Monday morning will
either have to start their puddling furnaces
with coal, for a time at least, or shut them
down.
Mr. McCntcheon, of Lindsay & Mc
Cntcheon, said yesterday that the move was
a surprise to him. East Tuesday the firm
was notified by telephone that the gas would
be shut off Monday, hut he did not realize
the meaning of the more until he read The
Dispatch yesterday morning.
"It is a question," he said, "whether the
company can shut off the gas entirely or not,
without more of a notice than that given."
However Mr. McCutcheon was not posted
of the law on the subject, and. even if the
gas were shut off, the question of damages
would come up at a future date. He did not
yet understand o his satisfaction just what
the move means and intends consuliing the
comnanv.
Mr. McCutcheon said that, if the mill was
shut down, the firm would go bnxk to coal.
He thought coal was about as cheap in the
long ruu as gas counting the stoppages
and uncertainty of getting out orders. No
complaint was made about the quality of
the iron and steel made with coal, and he
thought it just as good as that made with
gas. The firm always has enough muck
bar on hand to last two or three days ahead,
so that the stoppage of gas would not inter
fere before that time. It will then only
effect the puddling furnaces.
At the Allegheny Heating Company's
office it was said that the stoppage would
only be temporary, and until the Philadel
phia Company has its Second avenne main
from the Bellevernon field connected. It
was said that there was no meter with large
enough capacity to measure the gas used by
mills, andthat the waste was largely due to
the puddling furnaces. If this waste could
be saved it would provide against any
scarcity to the private consumers.
The Allegheny firms affected by the new
order are Lindsay & McCutcheon, Oliver
Bros. lower mills, Liggett Spring and
Axle Company, Pittsburg Forge and Axle
Company, Pittsburg Locomotive Works,
Hamilton, Lemon, Arnold & Co.
EKTURNING TO COAL.
Several Iron Manufacturers Abandon the
Use of Natural Gas.
The Pittsburg Forge and Iron Company
is losing no time in preparing for a return
to coal. To-day bricklayers will be busy in
resetting grates under the puddling iur
naces,and by the middle of the week the old
porkhouse mill will be running on coal, as
of yore. The scrap furnaces will be also
prepared for coal. The finishing department
will still continue to use gas. This company
has been suffering from a scarcity of gas for
some time, and the lact that it has, is a very
significant one. The Philadelphia Com
pany would allow the mill to run
only from 6 A. M. to 6 r. si. Before
work was commenced the mill had a pressure
of 18 ounces, but immediately on the pres
sure being turned on it fell three ounces, a
factor insufficient to produce enough he.it.
As a result the puddler have been idle
half the time; they succeeded in getting out
five he.its yesterday for the first time in
many weeks. Mr. Calvin Wcels, who is
President of the company, is also a director
of the Philadelphia Company, and a nat
ural inference to be drawn irom his double
connection would be that i there was gas
to be had he would have in.
Oliver Bros. & Phillip! will have their
Woods' Bun furnaces set for coal at once.
The old furnaces, in this as in other mills,
which were originally constrncted lor coal,
can be transformed for coal in a short time.
The grate's which were built up for the use
of gas can be replaced in 21 hours. Furnaces
built since the introduction of gas will re
quire to have grates and pots built in, and
will take a longer time.
DOLLARS AND CENTS.
The Philadelphia Company's Reasons for
Cutting Off the Manufacturers.
Captain M. Bigger, the agent of the man
ufacturers' department of the Philadelphia
Company, when asked to outline the policy
of the company regarding the supply to
mills, said:
The question with ns is one of dollars and
cents. Wc have notified some of the mills that
we shall cut off the supply becanse we c?n get
more money from the domestic consumer than
v, p can from tbem. Ot course. If the mills like
to pay ns 10 cents per thousand, employing a
meter, we shall give them all the gas they want.
But nnder the present system of snpnly there
is so much waste that the company thought it
time to call a halt. Wc have now 131 poncr
contracts, all nnder the meter s stem, and we
arc prepared to add to tbem. Manufacturers,
though, will not buy gas from us on these
terms because uf the increased cost. At 6
cents per thousand they save money under the
cost of. coal, but a: 10 cents ther would be pay
ing ZK cents more, without Including the extra
cost of labor.
NO LIMIT TO THE SIZE.
Meters Can be Made to Register Any
Amount of Gas.
Mr.LemnelBannister, General Manager of
the Fuel Gas and Manufacturing Company,
was asked yesterday what his company was
doing regarding the manufacture of meters.
He said:
We are supplying meters to whosoever wants
tbem. and we are not making any distinction
resarding our customer. We sell to the
Equitable as Ireely as to the Philadelphia Com
pany, and to other customers throughout the
country with as much pleasure as to them.
The largest meter now made in constructed to
register 35,000 feet ner hour, but mil measure
up to 45,000 feet. The Pittsburg Traction Com
pany has one of these, and there is another in
use at Shoenbergcr's for the Equitable Com
pany. At Columbus. O., three of these meters
are registering 115,000 tev per hour. If mills
desire to register the amount of gas tbev con
sume, they cap do so by employing a sufficient
number of meters. We are now getting out a.
much larger meter, and expect to have them on
sale In a short time.
SOME LIGHT SHED
On the Motive Leading to the Philadelphia
Company's 'ew Order.
A person connected with the Philadelphia
Company in one of its ramifications, and who
is conversant with the business, said:
The present move is but a business one. The
company is not a public, benefactor and bound
to'lurnish the mills with gas, if they can get
more for it elsewhere. The profit on gas
to Drivate consumers is over ten times that to
manuttctures and the waste Is great. If the
Philadelphia Crmpany has the gas In stock
that is wasted at these mills, it can sell it with
much larger profit for bouse beating.
Pittsburg is not the onlygoal of tbe company.
There are many towns 'round and about Pitts
burg where the gas can be taken to and dis
posed of. It is not a question of
scarcity, but of larger profit. But this is not
the only use the surplus can be put to. Illumin
ating gas can be furnished cheaply, and at
tbe same time with profit.
FOUND IN A TUNNEL.
An Unfortunate Man Run Oier and Badly
Crippled.
Between 9 and 10 o'cocklast night the
track walker in the Panhandle tunnel dis
covered a man lying in the tunnel near the
Try street entrance. An examination
showed that the man had been run over,
and his left hand had been cut off at the
wrist.
The unconscious man was removed to the
Homeopathic Hospital for treatment He
is about 40 years old, and bis appearance is
that ot a laborer.
I Say,
Call and look at our large invoice of breech
and muzzle-loading guns. Lowest prices,
at Gallinger's, 1106 and 1200 Penn are.
HASTINGS HIS MAN
lint Since Delamater is the Nominee,
Senator Sherman Asks Repub
licans to Standi by Him,
A SPEECH ON NATIONAL ISSUES.
One Allusion to tbe Republican standard-
Bearer, Which Was Loudly Cheered
by the Crowd.
OLD CITI HiI,L WAS WELL PILLED.
Cistern Porter Arraign Kickers, and Tells Bow Ea
Worked for Hcitooth.
Old City Hall was comfortably filledrlast
evening, by voters to hear "the grizzled
Senator from Ohio," John Sherman, discuss
national issues. The crowd was a good
sized one, bnt not as large as the great out
pour of people that greeted Pattison and his
co-adjutors, several weeks ago. Mr. Sher
man had been posted, and, unlike his na
tional predecessors, Ingalls and McKinley,
he diverted at one stage of his tariff talk to
make an allusion to tliS Republican candi
date. The interpolation was well received,
and someone in the andience cried, "Give
us more of that kind," but John wasn't in
the humor, and he returned to the thread of
his discourse on how to best levy taxes to
support tbe general government.
Iu his side remarts be said he had fa
vored the nomination of his gallant friend
Hastings, bnt people couldn't always get
what they wauted. He told bis andience
not to sulk, but to vote for the regular nom
inee, for he Understood he was a good man.
WHERE HE H'T THE CBOWD.
When at one point he said be recognized
neither boss nor king, but respected only
the will of the people, there were howls of
delight, and someone shouted, "Good boy,
John. That's what we want"' His refer
ence to Speaker Reed brought down the
house, and when speaking of the pension
legislation passed by the last House, one of
his brother's old soldiers said. "And how
about Uncle Bill?"
The Senator replied quickly: "Uncle Bill
is well pensioned now, and is enjoying every
day of his life."
John Sherman is generally characterized
as cold and distant, but he was quite warm
last evening. When he walked on the stage,
in company with Chairman Porter, Mayor
Gourley and William Martin, the'erowd
gave him a splendid oration, and the old
man replied with a profound bow and a
smile. Like Andrew Curtin, be appeared
in true democratic costume, abet If- his
trousers seemed to be a little short for him,
they made up in their width.
THE RESPECT OF AM, FOB SHERMAN.
In his speech he discussed national issnei
in a creditable manner, and if his efforts
were not applauded as much as some others
made her- this fall he commanded the atten
tion and respect ot every man in the house.
Without much ado William .Mai tin. 'ex
Secretary ot the Amalgamated Association,
as introduced as Chairman of the meeting.
He didn't stop to read the list of Vise Presi
dents, buf in accepting tho hono- said that
he felt the mantle should have fallen on
other shoulders. He added that he was
heart an soul lo- the State, county and Con
gressional tickets, from George Wallace
.Delamater down, and he hoped every true
Republican would show his colors. With
out further parley he brought ?0TWard Sena
tor Sherman, who was the drawing card of
the evening. '
SHERMAN WAS POSTED. "
HE MAKES A REFERENCE TO CANDIDATE
DELAMATER..
National Legislation Reviewed by the Sen
ator Somo Strong Tariff Talk The Ten
sion and Sliver Bills Commended as
Good Measures.
Senator Sherman spoke for more than an
an hour, and the meeting was over by 10
o'clock. The Senator said:
When I was on my way here I wondered what
in the world the people of Pittsburg wanted to
hear from me for why they should Invite a
Buckeye from Ohio to talk to them about Re
publican principles. Thiscity'of Pittsburg is
the birthplace of the Republican party.
Cheers. Here that grand party commenced
its series of achievements which have, distin
guished it more than an j other party tbat ever
existed in ancient or in modern times: because
it has been the good fortune of
the Republican party to confer upon
tbe people of the United States
greater benefits than were eer- conferred by
any other political organization on mortal
men. Cheers. We have had periods in our
existence which demonstrated this. When, In
lboj, you or your ancestors organized the Re
publican party.your only object wjs to resist the
extension of slavery over onr Western terri
tory. Afterward, in 1SC1, tbe only object of the
Republican party was to maintain the Union of
these states, to preserve our country -as an In
heritance for our children, and our children's
children. In 1876 the object of the Republican
party was to make good the promises con
tained in our notes, and to make all our money
as goon as gold and silver coin every dollar's
worth dollar for dollar.
Now, my countrymen, the great -Issue bo
tn een ue. pot so great as in tbe past, but still
worthy of discussion, is how snail we levy the
taxes to support ihe National -Government?
That is Ihe question that is to be discusSea
mainly to-nigut.
WHY PARTIES ARE OEQANIZED.
Now, my countrjmen. sometimes I have been
asked. Why is it that in order to bring about
graua results we have Rot to organize parties?
What is the necessity of party organization?
Why can't we throw it off as we1 would a soiled
glove and join some other party?" 'Why, Tnv
countrymen, in a Republic" like' ours",
where every power rests with the peo
ple, the only way they can speak the
voice of the people is by a party organization.
One man is nothing; a boss is nothing; a
kinc is nothing, it is tbe voice of tire people
that speiks through a party organization.
Cheers.
Why. my countrymen, tbe Republican party
has, for SO years, spoken the unquestioned
voice of tbe American people on all' tbe great
issues that have been passed.upon within tbat
time; and the Democratic "party has been a
mere party of negation, doing nothing, 'pro
posing nothing and acting upon, nothing, ex
cept what they have tried to do to destroy our
country and to destroy tLe Republican party.
Cheers. What would be tbe object of you
undertaking to carry on any great work unless
von have powerful assistance behind
you, and no party, no body of .men,
is strong enough to govern a great country like
this unless It is composed of a majority of tbe
people of the country. Therefore, if you have
a party tbat in tbe main has done right'by you,
in all tbe trying timeTof the past it is better to
cling to that party as your only hope for the
future, as it has been your guardian in tbe past.
Applause.
ATTEMPTS OF THIRD PARTIES,
I said a while ago tbat there can be but two
parties. This is not exactly true. Tbere are
usually but two parties, but sometimes, people
who think they are a little better than their
neighbors go off to, roost by themselves, and
call themselves a third party. (Laughter and
aDDlanse.1 The; think thev are better thin the
-mass of the people: they want to go off on some
siue issue, suiue oiuu &now, souie.oig.woinan or
big snake laughter, the temperance question
or something ot that kind. They don't know
what: they think they can start a. great narty.
I bave had more experience in political
life than some of you at least, and I never, saw
any good come out of a third party yet. Ap
plause. All tbat can be done in the govern
ment ot a country must be between one of two
Earties, whatever their aims maybe. Now wo
are two parties, one is called the Republican
party and tbe other is called the Democratic
party. These names importjiothlng. however.
Why, 1 am as good a Democrat1 -as ever lived.
I am as good a Republican' as ever lived.
We are all Republicans, and ajl . Democrats
in the general meanlnc of tbat term because
wo are all in favor of ,s' form of govern
ment in which all the powers rest with the peo
ple. Therefore, these names do" not signify
anything. We must judge of parties, precisely
as we would judge of "men "By their works,
shall ye know them," and judged by this test
the two parties tbat- now..tsnrt before
the people of this country, one is like heaven
and. the other is. like hades. Laughter and
cheors. . .
THE FOWER OF APPOINTMENT.
The nrst power is the power to appoint
officers to appoint postmasters and all the
various, officers of this great Government of
ours; and that power, instead of being a
strength to any party, is a weakness to any
party, and, on tbat basis, nearly all tbe public
men who fall in public lift- by the wayside, fall
by the exercise of patronape. I say to you now,
lit had thenower. I would not allow a mem
ber of Congrpss to recommend any man for any
office whatever. Cheers. I would take
from your political agents all the
power that is Invested In tbem by
common custom not by law I would take
from tbem all tbat power, and I would not
even allow a member of Congress to recom
mend postmasters, becanse it is an element of
weakness. It weakens the member of the
House and the Senator, and it makes a cause
of constant trouble and quarrel, and 1 think
the time will soon come, antl tbe Republican
party mil be the agent in the great reform,
when a law will be passed separating entirely
the appointing power Irom the law making
power. It is so in other countries that are not
so wise as we are in other particulars;
it is so in Great Britain, and it
is so in other countries where tho-e
who make tbe laws have no power to pass upon
those who execute tfaelaw. Now, for tbe some
months under President Harrison's administra
tion we have a good deal of feeling over our
country, agooa deal of controversy and a good
deal of tho feeling tbat underlies some parts of
the State of Pennsylvania grow out of this ap
pointing power. Cheers. J As I said. If I had
tbe power, I would make tbe remedy sure and
clean, and I would not let any member of Con
gress bave anything to do with any of these
offices, and then there wonld be no trouble of
the kind. The people should make their own
selections iq their own way. But that is not tbe
thing.
A TRIBUTE TO .SPEAKER REED.
The Senator next spoke of the dilatory
tactics of tbe Democrats of the last House,
and how Speaker Reed had counted them.
He complimented Reed highly, and said he
had laid down a precedent that in
a few years would govern every
legislative body in the land.
He then dlscnssed the bill passed against
trusts, and told bow the Democrats had op
posed it. He explained how these combina
tions, when they oppress the people, can be
reached and corrected. The law, he added,
had come to stay, and would be modified as
necessity required it The pension and
silver bills were then discussed in order.
The Senator stated that every soldier who
had been in tbe army 60 days, and was now
impoverished and unable to work, would re
ceive ?12 a month. The silver bill, he said,
had given the people a good currency, and
that was what they wanted.
Mr. Sherman took up the tariff bill at
great length. He showed how the dnty on
tin plate and sugar would develop both in
dustries in America. The Democrats were
afraid the tax would raise the price of
tin articles, but Mr. Sherman, by using
a tin cup for an example, showed
that the increase in price would be almost
imperceptible. He said it was the duty of tbe
Pittsburg manufacturers to redeem their
pledges and build tin plate mills. About
365,000 tons of tin plate are imported an
nually, and he expected to see that amount
produced in America.
BENEFITS TO AGRICULTURISTS.
He had no doubt that the beet industry
would be developed- under the tariff, and
soon enough sugar would be made in the
country to supply the wants of the people
without importing a pound. Contipning,
Senator Sherman said:
Our protection law, our currency law have
been passed by the Republican party; our
credit now Is better than any other nation in
the world. All of these creat benefits are the
work of the Republican partv. Our people
have been showered with blessings. Ap
plause. My countrymen. I am not going to
give you the details, but I ask you whether
in view of all these things you
goon people of Pennsylvania. tho
very heart, the very cornerston t of
the Republican party, yotfpeople in Pittsburg
here w here the partv was born, will yon, be
cause you like Dick better than Joe, therefore
desert the Republican party or its candidates?
Tbatisforyou to say. Will you desert the
party because somebody was nominated and
somebody was not? If I had the power Iwpuld
make Hastings a candidate, for, Gojor-aDr, be,
cause X know him. Now you nave ot a candi
date nominated, Senator Delamater. Ap
plause, A voice What is tho matter with JMontootb?
Senator Sherman There onght to be no half
breeds in the Republican camp. You are all
Republicans. One man is nothing. Two men
are less than nothinc, laughter and a dozen
men don't count at all. Laughter and ap
plause. You give me the sentiment of the
masses uf the people. Tbere is n6 cause for a
man who loves his party to vote against it.
Apolause. I havo diverted a little from my
tariff talk, and I don't know tbat it is worth
while to return to It. Cries of "Go ahead,"
"Go on."
EFFECTS OF THE TARIFF DILL.
When they say that this tariff bill has raised
tbe duty on articles, I say it has on some, and
It has lowered it upon others. The result of
the McKinley tariff bill will be to reduce the
tax over 810,000,000 .a year. It reduces tbe
tariff on a number of articles, and it adds to
the free list alout 100 different articles which
were not on the free list before, such
as sugar, but it has certainly raised
the duty on tin plate. It does raise tbe duty on
imported tobacco. It docs raise tbe duty on
imported liquors. It does raise tbe duty on
higher-priced silks, woolen goods and cotton
goods, but it does not raise the dnty on cheaper
articles in cotton goods or silk goods, and if
any merchants in this town are raising the
prices on the articles on tbe strength of this
tariff bill they are cheating yon, and that is all
there is about it. Applause. I don't care
who they are.
I say. my countrymen, tbat the McKinley
tariff bill reduces tbe hnrden of taxes H0.000,
000. It increases tbe duty on thoso articles,
wiiich come in competition with our indus
tries, and it protects the American industries
whether on the farm or workshop, or in any
other field of labor. There is enongh duty
imposed to protect It from -undue
competition abroad. Applause. I do not want
to prevent foreigners coming here and com
peting with us, and if our Democrats have put
up high prices I want to see the foreigners
cume and bring tbem down, but I want to give
the American manufacturer and producer
such a rate of duty as will enable bim to pay
fir wages to the laboring men of this country.
Immense applause.
CAPITAL NEEDS NO PROTECTION.
I tell you. my countrymen, if this bill were to
equalize tho difference between the rate of
wages paid in this country and those paid in
Europe, I would not be in favor of this duty.
Capital needs no protection In this country.and
when we were framing this tariff bill there
were no demands made in bebalf of capital.
We are growing richer and richer and richer
all the time, and Ave are aide to carry on any in
dustry without any protection to capital, but
we must protect our labor and not brine their
wages down to tbe standard of Kuropean
wases. and that God forbid! I Applause. I
Laboring men .say they have no Interest in
this question. They have all interest In it.
We must give our people here reasonable and
fair wages, and it would impair tbe intelligence
and vigor of .all people if the wages of the la
borer were reduced. No doubt you do not In
many cases get your fair share ot tbe results of
labor, your fair share of the division,
but after all you get in this coun
try many times as mnch as In any
other conntry. and this whole tariff policy, this
whole scbeme of taxation is intended for the
benefit of tho laboring men of this country
more than for all others. When I fay laboring
men, I mean tbe laborinir men on the farm, in
the workshop or in any other department of
industry. Continuous applause,
SOME INDUSTRIES COMPARED.
1 want to give you now a comparison of our
industries in tbe different years! In ISM, and I
think that these figures will be more eloquent
than any words I can utter, tbe population was
61,000,000. In I860, fellow citizens, our popula
tion was 31,000,000. In 1M we bad a Confed
erate Government formed of over one-balf of
tbe United States and a threatening civil war.
Now. in 1S90. we bave the greatest and most
powerful nation in tbe world, witb larger phys
ical resources, 64,000,000 of as tree and Intelligent
people as exist anywhere in the world. A com
parison in this respect between our 61,000,000
now and the 31,000,000 is very remarkable.
Tbere is no such example in the history of
mankind. In I860 we borrowed money at 6 per
cent, and during tbe close of tbe period
of Mr. Buchanan's administration we
paid 12 per cent for money, a monstrous charge,
which even a bankiupt now will scarcely be
williag to -pay, and now, my countrymen, in
1S0O, we can borrow money in all the markets
ot the world at less than 3 per cent interest.
Applause. Our credit is better than that of
any other nation. Our bonds will sell for morn
than the bonded dent ol Great Britain, and
we have snch great difficulty in paying onr debts
that we bave constantly to pay from 20 to SO
per cent for tbe chance of paying off tbe prin
cipal of the public debt. Applause. In I860,
in the good old Democratic times, our cur
rency was the meanest tbat was efer devised
by man, and would not pass from, one part of
the country to another, and when you cross
the State line you would have to piy a pre

A Voice How about Montootli?
Mnnfooth, you sayl 1 went to Harrlsburg

how can we do it by electing Robert E. Pat

"No. No." We can't expect to have all our
friends named on the ticket. Our turn will
come some day. A voice, "Nevcr."j Suppose
our man should be nominated, and then tbe
other fellows should turn in and say. "You
didn't help us. We won't help you."
Now there Is more involveil in this contest
than is apparent. The eyes of the country are
upon us. What do tbe people of the country
know of our factional differences? They will
simply say tbat Harrison's administration has

To the Late Ell Edmnndson,
The furniture dealers and business associ
ates ot the late Eli Edmnudson, Sr., met
Saturday evening U the office of A. J. Lo
gan & Co. and organized by electing Mr. P.
C. Schoeneck Chairman and A. J. Logan
Secretary and passed the following resolu
tions on the death of their late friend and
associate: v
f 'Whereas, Eli Edmundson, Sr., for
many yean prominently identified with the
furniture, bedding and upholstery trade of
this city, has, in the providence of God,
been called away by death; therefore, be it
rBeaoIved, Thatwe, his late associates and
competitors in bnsiness here assem
bled, bear testimony of our kindly
feeling toward the deceased, and bear
witness of his sound business ca
pacity ana strict integrity of character. En
tering the mattress making business more
than 50 years ago, by his diligent and pa
tient efforts he mastered all the branches
kindred to that line, and before his retire
ment from active business he stood at the
'head ot a firm that represented
all the branches kindred tothe branch
he first adopted. Tbat in all our
business relations with Mr. Edmundson he
proved himself a courteous, honorable and
upright competitor, and a prudent and
careful associate and adviser, and although
he has been called away at a good old age,
more tban the full score allotted to man, we
cannot help feeling that his association
would still be of great value to ns.
Resolved, Tbat we teuder the bereaved
family of our departed friend onr heartfelt
condolence, and at the same time assure
them that we share in their grief.

BREAKING INTO JAIL.
Unfortunates Who Can't Keep Ontside
of liarred Institutions.
ROAD SUPERVISORS IN HIDING.
Mud That is Too Thick for Boating and Too
Thin for Snowsliocs.
D0VT A TEAMP SECURED TllE PRICE
The gentleman who remarked that it re
quired all kinks of people to make up the
world knew whereof he spoke. Had he ever
been through Riverside Penitentiary he
wonld have found many inmates to help
bolster up the assertion.
There is a man named Georse Wilson
there at the present time who has spent 27
years of bis life within prison walls. His
history is a remarkable one. When
he was 9 years of age he was sent as an in
corrigible to the old Reform School, which
occupied the present penitentiary site. He
remained there for several years. After his
release he at once took to tbe bad and was
sent up from Washington for a term of seven
years for horse stealing. After his release
he was soon arrested again for a similar of
fense, and got another sentence of several
years.
Since then he bas been almost constantly
in prison in fact, all tbe time with thejew
exceptions of when he was outappropriating
some one's horse. All of bis convictions
are for this one offense, and tbe singular
part of the case is that he invariably makes
a-dismal botch of all his thefts. Tbe last
time he was released he 1"nt directly to
Temperanceville, became intoxicated,
mounted a horse tbat he found hitched..
along the street, and rode away into the
country.
couldn't keep out of the pen.
After roaming about the greater part of
one night he decided to return to the city,
but officers met him on the way and placed
him under arrest He was put on trial,
convicted and sentenced to five years in
Biverside, the time he is now serving. He
afterward told a companion who was recently
released that when the court made it five
yearshe went back to jail with tears in his
eyes.
"What did you weep for?" asked bis com
panion; "that was not a very long sentence
for yon."
"That's just where it hurt me," replied
Wilson; "I cried because he did not make
it ten."
On another occasion he met the official of
the old pen up at Little Washington. He
had been drinking, and after assuring the
official that he was then in a condition he
had longed for during all of his last term ot
imprisonment, asked when the next terra of
court began. On being informed he re
marked: "Well, just reserve cell No. T far
me, and I will be back on schedule time."
True to his promise, he returned just as soon
as it was possible for him to do so.
One of his main causes of complaints is
that the laws of the State are not broad
enough to permit of some one getting a re
tail liquor license for the prison. He has
declared time and again that it would be
the greatest place in Pennsvlvania for a
retail license, and that he would be content
never to look outside of the walls again if
such things could be. Manv similar stories
concerning Wilson are told. In fact they
have been carried over the length and
breadth ol the United States by men who
have met Wilson at various times during
his long years of confinement.
warden tvright's reminiscences.
Warden Wright, iu speaking of Wilson
yesterday,' said it was true he had been con
fined the number of years mentioned above.
He said Wilson's mind had become dwarfed
to an extent, and that his companions looked
upon him in this light. He is scarcelr 40
years of age at the present time and quite a
good-looking man, bnt the general belief is
that he will end his days in a convict's cell.
The Warden said that while there was a
bright side to his disposition no one outside
of tbe jail officials knew that he was eiven
to unusually gloomy mental conditions.
"Time and time agaiu he has attempted to
commit suicide," added the Warden, "jnd
only tbe most careful watching bas pre
vented him from succeeding. He has tried
almost every method imaginable, but
the keepers know him so well
that they have always succeeded
in thwarting him. There are hun
dreds of stories told of Wilson, but many of
them go merely as prison tales. So lar as
confinement in prison is concerned I believe
that many men pass the happiest hours of
their lives within these walls. Hundreds of
roughs and toughs who never knew much
outside of evil are sent here year after year.
Many of tbem who were densely ignorant
learn to read and write and it opens up a
new life to them. They frequently throw
their whole being into reading good books,
and when finally they leave hero they carrv
with them the knowledge that they have
been men for at least a portion of their
lives,"
HAPPY WITHOUT LEGS.
The Colored Man's Cheerful Disposition a.
Subject of Comment.
A colored man witb both legs cut off be
low the knees, a bootblack's kit thrown
over his shoulder, singing an old planta
tion song, and hobbling along Water street
yesterday attracted tbe attention of a crowd
of riverraen.
"Well," remarked an ancient captain, as
he wiped away a tear, "I wish J had tbat
man's happy disposition. It seems to be a
trait ot the colored race that they never get
the blues, and they are always happy. I
have seen these people load cotton
in the South until the sweat poured
from their faces, and I expected
them to stop and complain about tbeir hard
work, as other races would do, but no, tbe
melody of their songs only increased and
their good-natnred remarks and laughter
grew loader. Indeed, the colored man is a
fortunate individual. If the good Lord put
him down in a lowly place, He at least left
them one inheritance, and that is a cheerful
temperament. I think I can jiow more
fully appreciate one of Joaquin Miller's
beautiful little stories. He was traveling
in Texas, and as the night -was approaching
he turned into the hut of an old colored
aunty to resr. Joaquin was sitting in the
doorway looking at tbe declining sun when
he called the old lady's attention to tbe
beauty of the reddened tints on the sky."
"Ah," answered she, "this is a beautiful
world, massa, a beautiful wcrld."

The Movement of "Theatrical Companies
From Pittsburg This Week.
Division Passenger Agent Smith, of tbe
B. & O. road, was kept very busy yester
day afternoon furnishing tickets for
theatrical people, who travel under the
party rate. The road had Kiralfy's Com
pany, 56 people, to Cincinnati, the Insha
vogue company, 12 people to Columbus,
and a number irom the World' Museum
who will exhibit 'themselves next in Cin
cinnati and Columbus. Ever since tbe
midnight express, special, to Cincinnati has
been pnt on the road every Saturday even
ing the B. & O. has been securing the lions
share of the theatrical business in Pitts
burg. It wasOeneral Passenger Agent Scull, of
this road, who defied the Inter-State Com
mission, and contended against other lines
tbat the party rate was legal. After a
bitter fight, the other roads seeing tbey
were losing (be traffic, changed their tactics
and adopted the'reduced rate.
AN OIL MAN'S FEEDICTIOIf.
He Says tho Groveton Field Is at Present in
Danger.
Now that the enforcement of tbe Sunday
law in the Forest Grove oil field promises to
lead tn expensive litigation, the subject is
being seriously discussed in tbat neighbor
hood. Said an onerntor who has seen the
beginning, middle and end of several oil
fields, yesterday: "If the Forest Grove oil
field is not pumped on Sunday it will be
Tery short-lived, and in eight months from
now will be a thing of the past. We had
the same trouble in Beaver county about tbe
time tbe big Marks wcl.1 was struck, and in
consequence of the interference of strict
Sabbatarians, that field declined much
sooner than it would otherwise have done.
Sunday work may be wrong, but if there be
any Rnch a thing ns work necessary to be
done on that day, it will be found to consist
in the pumping of a considerable nuiuberof
wells."
Quite a number of people in tbe vicinity
of Groveton are curions to see, since the con
troversy has been aroused, which will tip
the beam self-interest or strict Sabbatarian
conviction and to operators, who have
thousands of dollars at stake, the interest is
rather more tban a curious one; Some, in
fact, have their all invested,. and bold that
it is just as laudable to take care of the
product as it is to mend a broken fence on
Sunday, in order that cattle may not de
stroy growing crops.

Desertion and Poverty.
Mrs. Adi Smith with her two children,
Harry and Bessie, aged respectively 6 and

night and applied for help. Mrs. Smith,
who is a rather good looking woman, stated
to Inspector McAleese tbat she had lived at
Ko. 4 Liberty street with her husband,
Wesley Smith, who was eipioyed as a
machinist by the Weslinghouse Company.
About six months ago her husband, for no
apparent reason, iett home and since that
time she has not heard a word from him.
The woman stated th.it she had waited long
and natiently, and as she did not bear from
her husbaud and her resources ran out sha
was compelled to apply for help. Mrs.
Smith stated that she was- willing to work
lor her living, but did not know what to do
with the children.
The case was turned over to Agent Dean,
who will endeavor to find a home lor tho
cbildren and a place of employment for tho
mother. Meanwhile they are under tha
care of the matron at the Central station.

them to be as good as any you can
buy. These prices are 20 per cent
less than any wholesale house in
Pittsburg will sell the same goods.
If you are under any obligations to
your grocer, and have to buy from
him, these prices are of no interest
to you. But if you want to buy
where you can get the best and the
most goods for the least money,
they mean a good deal to you.
Our Pittsburg Tea and Order De
partment is becoming very popular
with our Pittsburg and out-of-town

We have a large stock of Teas
for sale, and a full line of groceries
as samples from which, to leave
your order. Orders delivered
promptly to all parts of both cities.
Send for our large Weekly
Pamphlet and order by mail.
