RoBBING THE POOR BY LAW.

Senator Vance is writing some
sensible articles for the San, and
we make some extracts:
No man of thoughtful turn can
witness the daily course Of legisla
ton, both State and Federal, with
out reflections of rather melan-
choly nature if he sees things as
they appear to me. The haste to
get rich pervades every movemen
of society, and in so far as this de-
sire involves u fair and square con
test of Individual genius and energy
it is not only legitimate, but highly
commendable. Out of such things
grow wealth and prosperity, and all
of which civilization is capable.
But when these riches are sought to
be obtained by wrestling the laws to
the service of one man or combina-
ton of men, by means of which an
other man or set of men is placed in
the power of the first, who plumber
them at pleasure, this same lauda-
bic desire becomes, by its methods
and results, crime against society.
1t deprives one portion of the peo-
pie of the equal protection of the
laws; renders it less possible for
them to maintain the struggle for
their fair share of the public pros
perity, and converts government
of freedom and equality into des-

Without further comment on this
attempt to pose moribund party
as living factor in present politics,
the more interesting and important
question remains as to the present
duty of the large number who have
quietly dropped out of the ranks of
the party during the past few
months, and who are in no wise rep
resented by the men who gather
next week at Cincinnati. To me it
seems perfectly clear that there is
but one answer 20 this question, and
that Intelligent advocates of the pro-
posal to transfer all taxes to land
values ought to vote for Grover
Cleveland for President. The time
has gone by when any man can
truthfully say that no great princi-
pie is involved in the coming presi-
Dental contest and that the only
question is one of mere tariff tinker
ing. Such a policy may have been
desired by many democrats at first,
but the debate in congress and the
discussion in the newspapers have
already put an end to any such idea.
Every speaker who has supported
the Mills bill has vigorously at
tackled the protective system, while
every opponent of the bill has, with
out contradiction or rebuke, insisted
that the policy of protection will be
menaced by the passage of the meas
ure. The fight is on the lines of the
bold and able democratic platform
of 1876 instead of on those of the
foolish and feeble platform of 1884.
Tariff reduction will not
merely lessen the taxes laid by the
federal government on the limited
amount of imported goods brought
to this country, but it will accom-
plish something far more important
by reducing the onerous taxes now
levied by protected manufacturers
on the vast quantity of goods of do
nestle manufacture consumed by
our people. The relief that the
masses are sure to experience be-
cause of this benefcient change will
90 far toward teaching them the ne
eessity of abolishing all taxes on ar
ticles of consumption. =

maintain the powerful lobby that
has hitherto su 8 lily resisted

The n. Y. Standard for this week
has very able article by Mr.. .Croas-
dale, which we condense as follows:
A full delegation has been chosen
to represent this city and State in
the so-called National Convention of
the United Labor party to be held
on the 18th at Cincinnati. Outsid-
ers may assume that these delegates
represent the nearly 10000 votes
cast for the United Labor candidates
last November. Nothing could well
be further from the truth. Since
the discovery of the purpose to use
the organization as an annex to the
Republican party, there has been a
falling off in membership, which is
conclusive that no considerable num-
Der will be thus betrayed. Districts
that before the election carried the
names of from 200 to 500 members
on their rolls, dwindled away until
not more than from II to 80 mem
bers remain. These little remnants
now continue to act as the party or
ganization, and it is these remnants
that have sent representatives to the
recent conventions. 4 1t is
undeniably true that though some
sincere advocates Of the single tax
are still engaged in the attempt to
sustain a third party the effort re-
ceives its chief support from those
who want party for the sake of
having a party rather than for the
purpose of advancing great prin-
ciple. These men have, in perfume
tory way, accepted the declaration
that all taxes should be levied on
land values, but many of them would
consent to a very considerable sacri-
fee of that principle in order to gain
allies.
The craze to have a party for the
sake of belonging to it seems to run
through the whole crowd, though
here ard there an active manager
NAV be found who has more substan-
tial reasons for persisting in this
effort.

PIRATE CAPITAL AND HONEST
CAPITAL.

The West Virginia Development
Association can do the State infinite
good, or it can make noise and &C
complish nothing. We want cap
ital, at low interest, for local enter
prises. We know of at least dOz-
en- enterprises which, were they in
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland,
Georgia or Alabama, could find
money at 4 per cent. and which, If
prosecuted under favorable auspices,
would put West Virginia in five
years, where, as things are now go
ing, and have been going for ten
years past, she will not be in fifty
years to come. The writer, having
made fruitless effort at different
times to negotiate loans for West
Virginia parties, knows perfectly
well why capital fights shy of his
State, and every sensible man, with
the same opportunities for observa-
ton, will agree with the writer as to
the line of policy that should be
adopted
What is now needed is a careful
and intelligent investigation of the
situation. Pirate capital has in its
employ the ablest talent to invent
methods to rob those who now own
the land: the public need and great
ly need, the services and brains of
first class men who will suggest
methods to interest Honest capital
in the development of this State. If
we act wisely, we can obtain for
West Virginia the capital which is
now going to the far West and to
Mexico Depend upon it, we can
not act wisely unless we know the
facts. No one is competent to de
eide what ought to be done until he
acquaints himself with the facts.
He may talk generalities, but he
cannot make practical suggestions.
Our suggestion is this; let the
Development Association employ
three or four men like Hall of Bar
bour, Chew of jefferson. Dawson Of
Preston and Bennett of Cabell, E
we could easily name 100 suitable
for this work, to visit New York,
Boston and Philadelphia, and find
out why it is that Honest capital
boycOtts our State. The cost Of this
investigation would not exceed 50.
900, and it would bring fruit worth
to us fifty millions. 1t is estimated
that Boston has sent thirty millions
TO New Mexico within the last FIVE
years. Those ofus acquainted with
West Virginia know perfectly well
that this capital would yield larger
returns had it come to our State.

Congressman Wilson made an ex-
cellent speech last Friday on the
tariff; his views, so far as expressed,
are in exact accord with those we
advocate, and the only regret we
have is that he did not declare
against the tax on coal. This tax
does not benefit the miner and is
only levied to increase the profits Of
certain millionaire coal operators
and to enable the railroads to obtain
exorbitant rates. 1t is remarkable
no Congressman has ventured to
expose the iniquity of the tax on
coal.

A convention of the Union Labor
party met in Charleston on the Sd
and nominated a State ticket and
electors. Their resolutions declare:
We favor the enactment of such
laws in general as shall place our
laws abreast Of those Of the most
Lopulous and prosperous States OF
the Union, and shall remove the last
vestage of Anticipated mossbaek
laws that hamper commerce, retard
development. keep out capital, and
stand as a menace to immigration.
1t would be more satisfactory if
these resolutions pointed out in
what respect our laws are antigua
ted, and which OF our statutes keep
out capital?

THE GEORGE VOTE FOR cLEvE-
LAND.


1t is we'll understood in New York
that the money Of millionaire bene-
fciaries Of protection seduced Ger
tain men of influence in the United
Labor party, and these men man
aged to cajole DR.. McGlynn into
advocating a third party movement.
The object is, to reduce the Demo
cratic vote in doubtful States by
fooling the less intelligent members
of the United Labor party into vast
ing ballots on a candidate for Presi
dent who represents nothing but
useless noise respecting the George
land theory, and whose candidacy
cannot by possibility produce any
effect, present or future, except to
help the Republicans who are against
every principle protested by the La
Dor party. Mr.. George, who has
done more for Labor than any other
man of this generation, and whose
sincerity and ability cannot be
doubted, advises Labor to support
Cleveland because his reelection will
tend to check the aggressions of the
money power. Mr.. George has
studied and thoroughly understands
the tariff for protection, and ne
knows that it is continuance to
plumber the unorganized masses.
Hence he supports Cleveland, be-
cause Cleveland is against protec'
tion.

sure to hold the apples in position
and so prevent their becoming
bruised during transportation.
The necessity-Qf care in packing
is not sufficiently regarded. The
temptation to incAease the quantity
leads to putting in Objectionable
fruit. One has only to make the
trial to see how few poor apples it
will require to very greatly iniure
the appearance of bushel or barrel
Of apples, sufficient to reduce the
price to an amount more than twice
as much as the possible gain could
have been by the use of the poor
fruit.
Farmers should bear in mind that
in preparing any products for mar
ket the old saying that honesty sis
the best policy" will hold good
either in a moral or financial point
of view.
Apples that are to be kept for q
late market as before stated should
be placed in~t dark, cool, moist eel
lar and left undisturbed until time
for marketing, when they may be
carefully assorted to remove those,
if any, that have commenced to
decay.
There is usually such demand
for apples late in the spring that it
becomes important that a few be
held to supply the demand and for
which an extra price may usually
be obtained. Windfalls and those
of poorer quality require little
other care than to be gathered and
held for shipment to the canning es-
adjustment, or ground into cider
for making jelly.

Picking and Marketing Apples.
The always active demand for
good apples serves as an inducement
for their cultivation With regard
to varieties. the choice in recent
wears tends towards those Of rich
red color in preference to all others.
This has had tendency to abandon
the cultivation of some old and
standard varieties, supplanting them
by newer varieties more striking to
the eye. The value Of the apple
crop depends very much upon the
time and manner of the harvest and
the proper marketing of the same.
The time of harvesting depends
very much upon the use the apples
are to be put to or the time Of mar
keting. With the present facilities,
a considerable proportion of fall and
early winter apples find their way
to market for canning purposes.
There is also fair demand for APP
pies for winter use, early in the
winter, and with many an early sale
is believed to be best.
If apples are to be kept for some
time, or in fall for winter apples
anyway, the time of picking should
be adapted to the condition of the
apple as to ripeness. With winter
apples long keeping is desired, and
this depends upon certain condi-
tions. If thoroughly ripe fruit is
placed, as we have often seen it, in
warm dry cellar, it will tend to
speedy decay; this ought to be ex.
pected for the reason that the law
of vegetable growth is to arrive at
maturity then go to decay. Take
the case of mature apple it has
passed through its stage Of growth
and natural development, and with
favorable conditions the next step Is
to decay: these conditions are light
ana neat; therefore these are to 3
avoided where it is desired tina
fruit should keep rs long as posi-
BILE.
The keeping Of apples may
aided very much by picking just
little before the fruit comes to pei
feet maturity. In this way the reg
ular course of nature is arrested an,
so to speak held in allegiance, ant
as that fully ripened condition i.
retarded, 50 is the next step, decay
also retarded, if the apples are kept
from light and in a cool moist place
We do not consider that there i
any absolute necessity for leavin,
apples out until cold weather come
on, as some do, if there is reason
ably cool cellar in which to stor
them as they are picked.
Fruit keeps best in n cellar tina
10 cool and moist.
If the temperature can be main
tanned at very nearly the freezin,
point OF about as low as can b
without danger to the fruit, the bet
ter for it. 1t is better to have frui
a little too cool than to have it to,
warm. We have seen apples re
duced to mush in a dry warm Gel
lar, while those in dark, moist, coo
cellar were perfectly sound.
The moisture is important to pre-
vent the fruit from shriveling, ant
in putting into barrels, none but tn,
very best, those of good size, smooth
and fair, should be used; the demand
for canning goods will make mar
