Speculation IN Grain.

In discussing the question of grain
futures the Philadelphia North Amer-
ican takes the following somewhat
novel view Of the subject: "The ar
gument about these speculative trans.
actions in food products being injur-
ious to the interests of the consumers
is gross misrepresentation. IL is a
well known law of trade everywhere
that the higher the price Of staple
article Of common use may be, the
greater must be the competition there
by induced in the production Of that
article. Applying this argument,
therefore, to the dealings in bread
stuffs, we may see very clearly that
the enormous speculations whereby
prices have been maintained so long
at high rates have been largely in.
huential in stimulating the culture
of the cereal crops on a larger scale
every year. 1t is a great mistake to
suppose that these high prices pay
only the spectators, since it is now
a well known fact that the large ma
jority of the grain farmers all over
the country have prospered greatly
of late years and have been able to
store their grain crops in order to
take advantage of the best prices of.
fered by the markets from time to
time throughout the season. So long
as this system shall prevail, it is
quite obvious that the country has a
a strong safeguard againsts the dan.
gers of famine arising from short
crops. Such a benefit as that must
in the end more than counterbalance
all the evils incident to grain specu.

Unjust aud Onerous Tax.

We are glad to sec the disposition
at Washington to deal summarily
with the tobacco lax.
Whatever may be said in favor of
retaining the tax on spirituous liq-
uors, it is unjust to put tobacco in
the same category.
II is unjnst to the tobacco growing
States that their chief product should
be so loaded with tax as to impover-
ish the States themselves.
Tobacco is recognized as a legiti.
mate and valuable article of mer-
chandise. It's use is just as legiti.
mate as coffee and tea, and quite as
extensive and general.
In the early history of the country
it, was used to serve the offices Of
money and passed in payment of
debts. The laws made it legal ten
der, and it comes down to us as one
of the most dignified and honored
products of the country.
But under the blue laws Of the in
ternal revenue system a farmer who
now sells tobacco of hisown raising
finds himself in the clutches of an of.
fcer and is sent toprison, He may
sell his corn, wheat, potatoes, or but.
ter, in any way he pleases to, by the
bushel or in bulk, at retail or whole
sale; but he cannot do so with his to
bacco without suhjecting himself to
arrest and fine or imprisonment; and
term of the U. S. Court is rarely
held in this State, Virginia or Ken.
lucky, at which some small farmer,
totally ignorant of the features of the
law, is not hauled up and tried for
violating this prohibition. 1t is a
harsh, obnoxious provision, as well
as is the whole system Of tobacco tax
alton, and the whole barbarity ought
to be thrown overboard.- Wheeling

Judge has many warm admirers all

fully fill the bill than Judge Moore.

that would go to make a useful and

Dorsey Explains.

Steven W. Dorsey, one Of the star

dressed to the public in which he
gives an alleged history of his con.
nection with the star routes. He
claims he had never made a dollar
out of these contracts, that his broth.
er, J. W. Dorsey, and his brother.ln.
law, Peck, went into the business
against his view and they lost large
sums Of their own money besides
$4,000 he had loaned them at var.
ious times. Failing to recover this
money, Senator Dorsey says he &C.
cepted as security number of star.

awarded to Peck and Dorsey, and OBJ.

June, 1875" he says, 81 turned this
whole mail business over to other
hands and from that day to this
have never had anything more to do
with it than the President of the
United States has had. Dorsey at.
tributes his prosecution to personal
spite on the part of James MacVeagh
and Brewster. He intimates that
the record of Brewster's private life,
is no better than it should be. If
this thing goes on we may look for
some rich developments, which will

publicans in very bad light before

senator Davis, Decllnallon.

We find the following letter in the
Wheeling Register, relative to sena.
tor Davis recent letter Of declination.
The Senator's friends seem deter
mined not to let him retire from the
Senate, and he seems to be stronger
to-day, and has much larger fol-
lowing than he had previous to the
time he wrote that letter. We would
not be surprised to hear of his re.
election by an almost unanimous
vote Of the Democratic caucus. So
far as we are concerned we want Ia
see him returned, and we believe his
reelection TO the Senate will receive
the endorsement of the Democracy Of
Mason county. The fact is, the State
cannot afford to lose the services Of
this eminent gentleman, in the Sen
ate.
POINT PLEASANT. W. VA. Novem.
Der 24.-We are in receipt Of a pri

he reiterates his oft declared assertion
that he would not stand as candi.

with regret. AS Senator, Mr.. Da.

Mr.. Davis has an influence u. the de.

by long association with prominent
and influential men at Washington
Risen as he has by his own unaided
exertions, from comparative poverty
and humble worth as citizen, tc
the high and proud position lie now
occupies in the political and fnan,
cial world, challenges the admiration
of even his bitterest enemies. Hi:
social worth also calls forth admira
ton. Ever ready to obey his con
stituents' call, no letters or inquiry
was addressed him, no matter how
humble the party might be, but that
has evoked a ready and willing re
spouse.
We yet hope that some contin'
gency may arise that will cause him
to reconsider his determination, for
in these days of venality and corrup'
ton, reeking from every pore ofthe
body polite, the State, the nation
cannot well afford to lose his inhu.

gate him to private life. Should he
so determine he will have good fol,
