The Bottom Fact.

The bottom fact in the existing
contest between labor and capital is
the universal and inevitable decline
in prices.
1t is a struggle by each to avoid
the consequences of this fact Both
sides recognize that the decline is
natural and inevitable, but each
wants the other to bear the brunt
of it.
Labor demands that this decline
be taken from the dividends of the
capitalist.
Capital demands that it be de
Quoted from the wages of labor.
Equity demands that both capital
and labor should share it-and in
the end they will.
There are laws of trade, above the
civil code, that cannot long be ig-
nored and INSTRUCTED. This strug-
gle against decline in prices has
been going on since the close of the
war. The silent, invisible force that
is furnishing the motive power is
the law of supply and demand
Every year this silent influence
forces concession from either labor
or capital, or both. 1t will never
cease until an adjustment according
to the laws of nature-the laws oil
supply and demands reached
Unnatural distractions may post
pone the adjustment but cannot de
feat it. If the unnatural obstruc-
ton OF the tariff were removed the
contest would at once be concluded
But even the tariff cannot forever
postpone the settlement. The tariff
is working ont its own repeal. BY
its own operation, through an un
natural stimulus to prices, it has
drawn an over dose OF capital to tho
industries protected thereby, SO that
the home production has come to b.
quite as far in excess Of the demand
as II all the world were let in tc
compete. The law Of supply and de
mara; is thus asserting itself over
every obstacle that human ingenuity
can devise.

Free Navigation of the MOnOD'
gahela.

The free navigation of the Monon-
gahela River is one of the important
measures pending before this Con
gress.
The present status of the ques-
ton, according to reports from
Washington, is that the Secretary
of War is authorized to negotiate
with the Navigation Company for
the purchase of their works. In the
mean time all coal which starts from
West Virginia shall pass through
the locks free of toll
On the other hand it is urged
that the navigation company has no
right to charge tolls for traffic origi-
mating in West Virginia, as that is
an obstruction to Interstate COM
merce. But, on the other hand, it
is maintained that the Government
authorized the Navigation company
to improve the river with the right
to charge tolls for the use of its
works, and it cannot now be justly
deprived of reasonable income
therefrom
Whatever be the equity of this
controversy Congress did not seem
to find any great difficulty in remov-
ing any obstruction in the way OF
free commerce for West Virginia
down the river. Moreover the senti-
ment seems to be equally strong fol
putting the whole property in the
hands of the government and max
ing navigation absolutely free.
A liberal appropriation is made
by the pending bill for the compile
ton of the dam already begun, and
If this shall pass, we will soon see a
regular and permanent traffic estab
lished between Morgantown and
Pittsburg which will be quite as
valuable to us as the railroad facili
ties we have recently acquired.

The Senate on Thursday of last
week passed a greater number of
bills than was ever before known in
the history of Congress, the number
passed between | and 4 o'clock be-
ing 525, or about 175 each hour.
The day was devoted to pension bills,
and thus 426 soldiers or widows of
soldiers who have been deprived of
pensions under the general laws by
reason of technical defects in their
claims, were provided for.

Not long ago Secretary Manning
informed the Senate that the Repub-
lican Collectors of Internal Revenue
were removed and Democrats ap-
pointed in their places for the good
of the service, and to promote the
success of the policy of the Admin
istration. This was no idle declara-
ton, for the statistics show gain
of nearly $4,000, 900 in the collections
for the first nine months of the fiscal
year. Democratic reform is there
fore not a dream, but a reality

In the death of Mr.. Hough this
town has lost one of it's most yalua-
bic and respected citizens. He was
man scrupulously correct in all his
habits of life, yet simple and unpre-
tentious. No member of the bar had
higher regard for the principles OF
justice and right, and he was beyond
all question an ''honest lawyer.
His familiar figure and courteous
greeting will be missed on the streets
in the court room, everywhere-es-
pecially in the home that is left DIES

Monongalia farmers need not be
long in casting about to find some
means of making money. The nat
ural and most profitable business of
our farmers has always been that of
raising horses and cattle That is
the business to which our Mononga-
liza farms are best adapted. We
cannot raise grain to compete with
the great prairies Of the West. The
most that we can do in this regard
is to supply the home demand, and
this we ought to do, at least.
But the demand for horses and
cattle from this county has always
been equal to or greater than the
supply. 1t is true that the West
can, as in the case of grain, raise
stock cheaper than we, but there is,
nevertheless, market always open
for our stock, and it commands good
prices. We are not even obliged to
go away to find market for our
horses. Buyers come upon the
farms and take them away. A good
horse can always be sold at fair
price. There is not a good horse in
the county to-day that will not com
mand fair price if the owner de
sires to SELL
This has always been true of oul
stock market. There is nothing
which brings the farmer ready
money so surely and in such large
sums. There ought to be stocl
enough sold from this county every
year to make money easy and plenty
We can see no reason why our farmers
should not turn their attention
more generally and exclusively t.
this business. We want NOR
horses and cattle sent out of Mon
ongalia every year, and we want
better class of stock than we hav
been sending out. If farmers will
fall into line on this matter it will
give us all the money we need.

The MonongaheIa River.

The first step toward attaining the
cherished object of free navigation
of the Monongahela river seems to
have been in backward direction.
At least the progress forward does
not appear great to an ordinary OBJ
server. The opponents of the scheme
made a wonderful to do about the
matter and tried hard to leave the
impression that the adoption Of the
bill would subvert the constitution
and all law, when in fact, if there is
anything in the matter that is I'M
constitutional, it is to allow a pri-
vate corporation to virtually control
inter State commerce. AS the adj
vocates of free navigation have both
law and equity on their side, it is
only a matter of time when the river
will be free to the world. One fact
worthy of notice was developed dur
ing the argument in the House, and
that was the lamentable ignorance
of some of the members in regard to
the Importance of the coal trade of
this valley AS it only takes one
more dam to complete the Stacking
