EVERY fellow for himself and the
devil take the hindmost, is the ennob-
ling principle upon which the average
war-tariff protectionist practically
stands. Protection to the extent of
monopoly on what l sell free trade
with big F on what l buy Few of
these patriots, however, arc as frank as
Mr.. Blanchard, of Chicago. This re-
freshing sample of protected operator
furnishes a vivid illustration of the
utter selfshness that governs the bene-
ficiorios Of protective taxation. Mr..
Blanchard says;
i am for high tariff on lumber, but
low tariff on copper, iron, wood, cot
ton, lcothsr, glass, &c will tell you
why. l own timber land and sell
s;umpage; besides, operate largely
myself, and this tariff puts money into
my pocket. | get 81 per loco for
my stumpagc and g. per ,000 for my
boards. | have just sold $500, coo
feet of lumber. Now 81 thousand
on 5000, 600 feet is Just $40, 600.
That is the difference 10 naG between
high tariff and free lumber / am high
tariff on lumber, | am. This blessed
tariff they tell us, is all FOR the benefit Of
the American laborer. What do YOU
suppose did with the $40 000? Di-
vide it among my workmen? Not
bit Of it. / put it right in this calf
skin wallet, did. OF all my work
men, ] am the only protected laborer.
Wages depend upon supply and demand,
my friends, and not on taxes. When
you see two men after one boss, wages
arc low; but when you see tSo bosses
after one man, wages are high; and
that is the whole of 1.-THE theory,
principle and practice. - Index.

very important and necessary an

PRESTON COUNTY.
YERTILE FARMING AND GRAZING COUNTY
Iron ORE AND COAL DEPOSITS.

YERTILE FARMING AND GRAZING COUNTY
Iron ORE AND COAL DEPOSITS.
KINewooD. March Preston
county was cut off from Monongalia
and organized in 1918. The county
seat is the old, beautiful and wealthy
town of Kingwood, the mountain ter
minus Of the Kingwood & Tunnelton
railroad The situation Of the county
is important. 1t is the northernmost
county of the State is separated from
Fayctte county, Pa, on the north by
the famous Mason and Dixon line; its
eastern boundary is the line between
Maryland and West Virginia; and on
the south and west it adjoins Tucker,
Barbour, Taylor. Marion and Monon-
gala. The surface is mountainous,
billy and rolling, and 'glady.' The
soil is sandy, sandy loan, clay loan,
and calcrous loan The glade land
has deep, black, unctious soil, often
several feet deep, and is very rich The
soil on the levels is twelve 10 eighteen
inches; on the hills, four to ten inches.
Lime, which is everywhere abundant
and extensively used, makes the thin
nor soil wonderfully productive.
The county lies principally within
the Ligonier Valley. This valley en-
braces over 500 square miles of the
county.
The county is divided into eight
townships, four on each side of Cheat
river, which river divides the county
into two nearly equal parts. The Bal
timore and Ohio railroad running
through the county thirty-four miles,
divide it into two nearly equal north
and southern portions.
RAILROADS AND WATERWAYS.
The principal streams in the county
are, the Cheat river, Big Sandy, Little
Sany, Middle creek, Three Fork, Rae
coon, Sandy, and Decker's creek, with
numerous smaller streams.
The Cheat river is used extensively
for floating ra(ty of logs and lumber,
flowing into the county from the vast
timber regions of Tucker and Randolph
counties. All of these streams furnish
excellent water power, sufficient for all
the manufacturing industries that can
line their banks.
The great thoroughfaro CT the county
is the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
passing through from east to west, al
most in the centre of the county, en-
tering in the east from Garrett county,
Maryland, seven miles from Oakland.
Under the liberal system now being in
augurated by that railroad, Preston
county shippers will have many advan-
tages over hitherto more favored local
tiles.
Another road-tho Iron Valley
runs from the Baltimore and Ohio, in
the western part Of the county, to the
Irondale furnace, a distance of three
miles. This is a standard guage road.
The kingwood & Tunnclton railroad,
a narrow puage line, runs from Tun-
melton, on the Baltimore & Ohio, to
Kingwood, the county scat, distance
Of eleven miles.
