POLITICAL SQuIBs.

/ wonder how the radical leaders
Of this county will feel when they
appear on the day of judgment and
are accused Of deceiving the people
and getting them to vote against
their interest! | think there will
be bowling and crashing of teeth.
asked republican here what
high tariff meant. He said 1T
was tariff to protect his life and
property and to protect his family"
Another smart republican says
that if Cleveland is elected the Dem
ocrats will have free trade and then
England will send over cargoes of
goods and sell them for one half
what we now pay for goods. Well
if this is SO would it not be good
thing for the people of Monongalia?
If farmers can sell their grain and
cattle at good figures and then buy
muslin, prints, coffee and sugar
and all other articles obtained at
stores for one half they now pay,
farmers ought all to get rich. Then
why not vote for Cleveland and get
wealthy.
A correspondent of the Post said
sometime ago that they would
elect Blaine and he would protect
their wool, their iron ore and their
timber. Why, don't this man know
that England has no timber; that
she has been supplying herself with
timber for the last hundred years
from the United States; that five
Englishmen have bought, large
tracts of timber land in West Vir-
ginia in order to send the timber to
England.
Another Republican says w. l..
Wilson is in favor of free trade. Mr..
Wilson is in favor of a tax for rev.
enue, and as it takes two hundred
and sixty millions of dollars to run
the government, | think this is
pretty high free trade.
The republicans say they want a
protective tariff. Well a tax OF
two hundred and sixty millions up
on fifty Millions of people is dear
enough protection for me, leaving
off the one hundred and forty mil
lions more, which we are now pay
ing to heap up in the vaults with
the four hundred and forty millions
which are already there.
Another Republican has been
led to believe that we don't pay the
Government taxes; that the people
in England pay the four hundred
millions year taxes for us. This
would be very generous of the
English if it were true, but unfor-
tunately for us it is not so. We
pay this tax ourselves.
The Posts correspondent at Cass.
vile who demanded of the Repub-
licans to vote the whole ticket and
not vote for any home man on the
other ticket, has been taken at his
word, he was candidate for consta-
Bile in Cass district. The Demo
Gratis would not vote for him because
he fought Ben. Morgan and Elem
ing so bitterly, and the Republi-
cans-well the Republicans said
fusion didn't extend down to con-
stable and voted for the other man,
and let our ex-greenback friend 60
up salt river.
Well l wonder how those arch
traitors, Kendall, Burt and Sturm,
feel by this timer When the glo-
rious Greenback party will come to
the front in the future and be a
power in the land these men will
have sunk in oblivion and their
names will be enrolled in history
under those of Benedict Arnold, as
traitors to the noble cause which
they sacrificed for personal greed.
England has declared that if our
government increases the tariff on
goods shipped from England here,
that they will put on a high tariff
upon products shipped from Amer
lea to England. If she does this
wheat will sink to SO cents; corn
to 20 or IS; oats to IS; cattle to
~ or cents and pork. butter,
lard and many other things will 60
away down in proportion. If Blaine
should be elected and England
carry out this threat wont the Re-
publicans yowl. Well some people
will never learn anything except by
bitter experience.
