The issue this year is clear and
inevitable. 1t is a tax reform The
Republicans may set up such side
shows as the bloody shirt, but these
will be a small consequence. They
cannot accuse the Democratic adj
ministration ofincompetency or dis
honesty, for the facts are too plain
and public on the other side. They
cannot avoid the question of tax re-
form, much as they would like to,
and on this question the Democrats,
if they are wise; will make the ear
Hest declaration, and make it with
boldness and without equivocation.

West Virginia has been steadily
though quietly forging 10. thc front,
and now she is in good shape to ac-
celerate her pace In addition 10
her vast material wealth and unde-
veloped resources, she presents the
attractions of an excellent school
system, well managed and we'll eq-
tipped, charitable and reformatory
institutions, an unburdened State
treasury and a lower tax-rate than
almost any other State in the Union.
These are items that the wise capt.
alists will consider. And at the
risk of being jumped upon by the
whole Republican press. we are CON
strained to add that theState is able
present these pleasing advantages,
because the Democratic party has
honestly fulfilled its pledges to the
people.

There is no overcoming the fact
that our farmers under the present
tariff sell their goods in the cheap
est market and are compelled to buy
in the dearest. They are perpetu-
ally Disseminated against, and are
not prosperous in consequence.
Moreover, they are becoming in
creasingly intelligent on the subject.

The Last Of American ships.

advocates of high protection have

building for over quarter of a cen.
fury and have driven our Merchant
ships OF the ocean, while George
NJ. Robson, John Roach and Bill
Chandler scnttled the Navy. 1t is
disgraceful in the extreme. But
now for some facts:
The statistics of the grain exports
from New York last year, disclose
the humiliating fact that of over
/ 900 steam vessels which last year
crossed the ocean carrying 5O,76l,-
476 bushels of American grain to
feed the hungry mouths of Europe,
the United States flag Foate orer
but one UesseL-the steamer Illinois,
formerly of the American line,
which made Ave trips. Sailing
vessels are fast being supplanted by
steam in the carrying trade. There
were only "a grain laden sailers
leaving New York last year, of
which but a single one was an Amer
lean. She bore the dismally appro-
pirate name of aThe Wandering
Jew homeless, friendless and for
Iorn among the prosperous and
we'll fed citizens of the seas from
other lands.
The striking feature of the grain
carrying reports is the supremacy
which Great Britain has obtained.
She heads the list with 7O5 steamer
loads, carrying 32,962,6O9 bushels.
In the minor branch of the trade
sailing vessels Austra has led for
some years. But Italy has taken
her place now with "a vessels, Aus
tria comes next with 16 vessels, Por-
tugal is third and England is fourth
with only three. The United States,
Brazil and Spain are credited each
with one sailing vessel That is all
there is left of the Yankee ships and
Yankee crews we used to read of in
song and story. Brother Jonathan
has been protected off the ocean.
The final disappearance DISABLING
vessels from the grain carrying trade
seems to be coming in the near
future. In 1880 there were 1892
steamers and 1913 sailing vessels.
In 1887 there were 1,106 steamers
and only AZ sailing vessels engaged
in carrying grain from New York.
1t is estimated that we pay $780,
0Oo, 900 a year to foreign ship owners
for the carriage of American pro-
ducts and American passengers on
the ocean. We are far behind Great
Britain, France, Germany, Holland,
Spain, Italy, Norway. Denmark, and
and in fact every nation that has a
seaport; aud, mind, this is not in the
general carrying trade of the world,
but IN the carriage OF American pro-
ducts.
But we are standing nobly by our
principles. The two things we
don't allow American capital to
purchase in foreign countries are
sailing and steam vessels and obscene
books-but the prohibition has been
much more effective against ships
than obscene literature.

Some West virginia Figures.

Some West Virginia Figures.
Auditor Duffy has furnished the
Wheeling Register with some inter
esting statistics in regard to our
State finances, etc, which give a
fiattering exhibit of the progress
made by West Virginia under Dem
ocratic rule.
The Auditor states that the re-
ceipts at the State Treasury during
the month of January of the current
year amounted to s411 300. 90, which
is the largest sum for single month
ever paid in since the birth of the
State. The balances to the credit
of the several funds on the first day
of February were as follows: Gen
eral State Fund, 1927, 324.87; Gem
eral School Fund, 1929, -32O.24; The
School Fund, ss,O95.15; Public
Building Fund, s2,667OO. This
makes total of cash in the treasury
of $3.50, 4O7.2 %, showing the State to
be in condition of unprecedented
financial prosperity.
The total value of the real estate
and personal property in this State,
as reported by the Assessors for the
year 1887, is s162, 463, SIT, of which
s119, 753, 342 is in lands and building
lots, and s43,71O,175 in personally.
This is an increase over the previous
year of S2,O06,813 in the value of
real estate, and 1851, 200 in the value
of personal property.
A table is given showing the num-
Der of miles of railroad track in the
State, with the assessed value, and
the amount OF taxes paid into the
treasury for State, county, district
and municipal purposes. 1t shows
that there are ,O37. so miles of main
track, assessed at SIS, 195, $50, pay
ing last year 1921, 1884 in taxes.
The Baltimore & Ohio pays the lar
gest amount, over $4,000 for its
various branches, the Chesapeake &
Ohio coming next with $4,000.
The p, w. & KY. paid s6,O6O.57 on
its 2s,O4 miles of line. and the P, G.
& st. L. s3,gOs.21 on I'll miles.
This is an increase of nearly $40, 600
over 1886. and an increase of S193.
900 since 1880. Railroads are a
great source of revenue and pros
perity to State, and what we want
in West Virginia is more of them.
In regard to the amount of money
apportioned to the several counties
for school purposes, Auditor Duffy
makes fiattering exhibit, showing
that West Virginia is extremely lib
eral to the free schools. The gem
eral school fund for the year 1887
amounted to s4O2, 1861. In 1871,
the last year of republican rule, the
amount apportioned to the several
counties was only s174,s96,35.
The number of capitationsassesse
for 1887 was La, 254, an increase of
1857 over the previous year. This
would indicate population of some
thing over 200, 900, but there is rea-
son to believe that a great many
persons have been overlooked by
the Assessors, and the capitations
are now considerably in excess of
the number above reported. A fair
estimate of the present population
of the State would put it close on to
100000, as against 1904 in 1870
and 61s, 457 in 1880.
These figures show that West vir-
ginia is steadily gaining in popuIa-
ton, wealth, and everything else
that goes to make up a prosperous
State. The growth may not be as
rapid as some other States, but it is
a healthy and lasting growth.
