l am open to conviction, and If any
one can answer the following ques-
tions to my satisfaction, / will yield
to the doctrine of free trade:
LIST. Why should the duty on
South Carolina rice and Louisiana
sugar be reduced but one-fourth Of a
cent, and West Virginia wool, lum-
Der and salt be absolutely freef
I'd. If the wool growers in the
United States were protected in that
industry, could they not procure the
same stock of sheep and supply the
same quality OF wool as is given us
by Australia, simply to crafty the
dictation of fashion?
3rd. If free trade would give
goods so much cheaper to the consul
mer, how can it be possible that the
price of labor will increaseY
4th. Iffree trade will increase the
price of wool, how can it reduce the
price of clothing?
5th. If free trade will reduce the
price Of one article, would it not re-
duce the price of all articles in the
same ratio?
9th. Under free trade, would lum-
Der which is now worth $40 per
thousand feet at the mills, be worth
$3.50 or $3.50?
7th. How is it that the free trade
policy can be made SO accommodate
ing as to reduce the price on some
articles and enhance the price on
others
9Th. Why has goods always been
higher under tariff for revenue than
under tariff for protectiony
9th. Why have financial panics
been the result Of every experiment
in free trade or tariff for revenue !
And last, but not least, how can a
President of the United States give
$4,000 to secure his reelection and
not violate the civil service act, and
at the same time step very far below
the dignity of his position
If the free trade Solomons will an

MARrINsBuRo, w. vA.,l
October 80. 1888.

We yesterday attended the fune-
raj Of Brother G. B. Carr, Of Divi-
sion 284, B. of l.. E., of Grafton. It
was, probably, one Of the largest fu-
neral professions that Grafton has
witnessed for some time. Brother
Carr was widely known, and his
kindly disposition had rendered him
very dear to all that were associated
with him. This, together with the
distressing circumstances attending
his death, enlisted the sympathies Of
all. He was running engine No. 436,
first section of train $50. and when
least expecting it, found the rear end
OF train GAS in No. 10 tunnel without
any protection whatever, ran into it,
hurting himself so badly that instant
death would have been q blessing TO
him; but instead Of dying instantly,
he suffered untold agonies for fifty
five minutes, when relieved by DEATH.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. Flanagan, who, after the
words of consolation and sympathy
to his distressed family, spoke in .
touching manner of the dangers Of
our occupation, the responsibilities
attending to it, and the nee assity of
us being prepared to meet our God |;
reminding us that the hand of time
is ever ready to cut the brittle cord
that launches us into eternity.
The remains were followed to the
grave by the b. of L. E., 68 in mum
Der, consisting of Division 2S4, and
delegations from Divisions So, 81,
1852 and 353. After the services at
the grave, we returned to the hall,
where we heard good words of advice
and sympathy from the brothers.
and where the Division passed reso-
lutions suitable to the occasion, and
unanimous vote of thanks to Gen
eral Manager w. M. Clements, and
superintendent j. f. Legg and
Thos. Fitzgerald for their kindness
in furnishing tree transportation for
the visiting brothers. Although cal
led together on SO sad an occasion,
this will be visit TO which we will
look back to with great pleasure.
The remarkably kind and brotherly
feeling among the visiting brethren,
every one of whom tried to make,
himself the most agreeable, aud the
old-fashioned Virginia hospitality
extended to us by the whole-souled
brothers of Division 2S4, make me
proud of the honor of being broth
er to them. and being member Of
the B. of l.. e.

three positions, had cramp collie, and
wears 306 blisters on his hands and
person, where the ball gently caress-
ed him. His loose fitting suit tapped
about him like the top of a circus
tent in wind storm. He fell down
six times, pounded the air until it be-
came so cold the men put on their
overcoats. He ran bases like all ele-
plant, and has been using arnica and
mustard plasters six times day
since. "Doc" Hamill umpired. He
wore Jim Campbell's overcoat, a sail
or cap and three of Queen Victoria's
crown diamonds. His decisions were
marked with fairness, making them
as he did, without looking at the ball,
and umpiring from 'point" of hon.
or designated by Stuart Walker,
Hanson Light and DR.. Day. He only
delayed the game once, when he
was forced to walk out to the
creamery to get an authority from
Cal Myers on the question as to
whether John Timmons had the right
to pull up base and carry it half
way to the next before throwing it
back on Pitzer's head. Some of the
ladies feared Ash would be hurt by
swift and terrible balls, but the ball
used was one that had been in use of
his family for several generations and
was perfectly safe. Jim Thompson
was first at bat. He caught up a
pound of sand, spit on it and glued
both hands to the bat, breathed
through his teeth until the flock of
geese in the cemetery walked behind
the house, and asked for head and
shoulder ball. He got it so near
there, that it was ten minutes before
Hamill signalled for the game to pro-
coed. He was given his base on balls
and went home in wheel barrow,
limping outside once in a while.
When he got tossSimmon's spring, he
took back-alley cut for home. The
doctor says his bill will not exceed
$3.50. Diefenderfer then marched
out, grabbed a slab-sided bed-post,
and asked for waist-ball. DIR. Day
prescribed capsule. Thus one after
another Of this famous "picked nine"
went down to rise no more. The
regular nine chawed them up like
sour-grass and pounded the balls
with as much ease as Scott Kramer
cuts the pigeon wing. About % 900
people witnessed the game. Many
notables were present, viz: blind
organ grinder; a bumped back
tramp, two red-headed country girls,
and three-legged "yaller' dog.
The collection at the gate amounted
to about7$9.15, lib Switzer cheese,
two dozen buttons, hustle, three
postage stamps and an empty beer
bottle. The special features Of the
game were Jim Thompson's pitching
and Charlie Young's put-outs at End
base. Everybody speak highly OF
the closeness Of the SCORES to 7
5-6-in favor of the regulars. The
Sc of a run was made by of the
members of the scrub nine. Many
persons will remember the game. 1t
was beneficial. Every doctor and
druggist in town will say so.

scR1pTroN OF THE CoNTEsT.-The great
benefit game is over, and the "pick-
ed ninen that went forth in the ex-
uberance of school boy hope, to con-
quer and demolish the regular club,
now limp about the romantic streets
and make the town resonant with
their plaintiye cries .Great is the
regular club of old Marlinsburg r.
For week they Dragged themselves
and their friends insane. At night,
visions of ''home-runs" and brilliant
fielding and base-running made their
slumbers doubly sweet.
At 2:3O the clubs arrived on the
fair grounds and the scrub nine took
the field, with the mighty left-hand
twirler Rider in the box, and Ian
jawed, bow-legged Bowers behind
the bat. They presented hand
some appearance. Jim Thompson
wore heavy black beard, grown es-
pec;ally for the occasion, that prov
ed nobby feature Of the game. The
wind as it whistled through it, play
ed "whose been here since I've been
gone" and several other suitable
pieces. A three cornered pair of
suspenders fell in gracefulness over
his shoulders, and broad green belt,
clasped with brass and fish hooks,
held in place a mohair duster. Berry
Chambers sat on second base with a

look on his face, the waving ends OF
his mustache gaily futtering in the
breeze and the mad flash OF his eye
causing the balls to stick in his
hands like mud. Ed. Dieffenderfer
squatted all over thefeld. He wore
ladies' mitts, banged hair, low neck
and short sleeve shirt and had his
feelings hurt often by the ball. No
ornaments adorned the polo cap be
wore. Bob Thompson wore an Nj. q.
Band air of Importance, that ele-
gantly blended with his part-wool
trousers, with green satin set in back,
near the yellow suspender button.
A salt sack gracefully reclined upon
his head, and his feet was encased in
an old pair of J. N. Thatcher's rub
bers. Harry, his brother, evidently
feeling jealous of Bob's brilliant cos
tune, wore an old pair of baggy Zou-
ave pants, & yards of red fannel0
with insertion of blue, three inches
deep. Comical Jim had kindly hired
him for 25 cents and chew of tobac-
CO, an old fireman's hat, which had
been on the retired list for ten years.
Handsome John Robinson, the regu-
lar umpire of the hartinsburg club,
got away out in centre field to show
the "boys" how to play ball. He
wore his best girls lawn tennis body,
with Cleveland beaver, and big hand
tanned jockey boots. His appear.
ance was very fine, but he generally
persisted before he reached second
base. He invariably struck at the
ball when the catcher had it in his
pocket, and his treatment of the cor
rect position of the ball while in mid
air, was theoretical and visionary in
the extreme. Grant Pitzer died in
