In the closing hours of the debate
at Martinsburg between Gen. Golf
and Mr.. Wilson, there occurred a
little passage which is significant OF
the real position Of his party.
The only reference to this is found in
Democratic paper yet, is the follow
ing in the ShepherdStown Register :
In the closing ten minutes of the
d bate, which belonged to Gen. Golf,
that gentleman took advantage of
the opportunity to make some unfair
Ito say the least statements. Mr.
Wilson interrupted him, and short
colloquy ensued that was inaudible
to the audience. Golf seemed to
grow angry, tor he yelled out, h" Don't
act the demagogue as we'are about
to separate" The audience, how.
ever, was pretty well satisfied that
General Golf was the demagogue.
This is a grossly unfair statement,
but seems to be due not to a desire
to misrepresent, but to imperfect
hearing and partisan bias. What
really took place was DIS follows, and
this reference is made to it because
it shows the radical difference be
tween a true P:otectioniSt and a
Protectionist for votes only:
General Goff:-S. The statement
that the Mills bill reduces the reve-
nue. but per cent. is not true. 1t
cuts S50,000,000 off of $4,000, 900
and that is nearly % per cent
[Cheers. What difference if pauper
labor is here OF abroad, lift completes
with you? The Republicans will keep
both labor and product out" Mr..
Wilson: You put tea on the free
list."l
General Golf -" Yes; because it
is needed here and completes with
no home product" Cheers.
Mr.. Wilson: "Because it is a
Chinese product"
General Golf =" oh, now, do not
play the demagogue when we are
just about to separate" Laughter
aud applause on the platform, IN
which several Democrats joined.

LABOR THE KEYSTONE OF THE
ARCH.

In 1859 Golden went to France to
induce Napoleon III. and his cabinet
to adopt Free Trade, or, failing that,
to modify the French tariff so as to
admit free the products of British
mines and factories. In his diary
(Morley's Life of Richard Golden,
p. 400, referring to his interview
with Napoleon, he says:
~ spoke of the opportuneness of
the present moment tor making a
simultaneous change in the French
and English tariffs. Louis Napoleon
said he had a majority of his Cham
bers quite opposed to Free Trade,
and that they would rot pass de-
cided measure that by the COnsti-
tuition he could alter the tariff by a
decree. He then inquired what |
should advise him to do in regard
to the French tariff. | said ! should

stone of the Arch was removed the
whole system would fall. In France
the great primary want was cheap
iron, and should begin by abol-
ishing the duty on iron and coal, and
then | should be in better condition
for dpprO aching the other industries"
This scrap of history can be prof
tably considered by every voter dis
posed to listen to the free trade
promise OF cheaper living as his pay
for helping to remove the d" keystone
of the arch" of Protection to the
Labor and Industries Of the United
States. Neither free wool, iron, nor
free salt, will satisfy the President
and his Golden Club assistants.
They are for absolute free trade, re-
CARELESS of conditions accompany

and understanding that this much
gained, they will be in better cou,
dition for approaching the other in
dustries." They shrewdly seek to
rescue by gradual approaches the
citadel of Protection which they
dare not attempt to carry by direct
assault. ...
"LABoR" is the keystone of the
American arch of Protection, and
to tear out that arch directly would
be to raise a revolution, but by

lumber, free raw material, the struc-
ture of Protection wifi be undermin-

CHARLESTOWN NEWS,
The Republicans of Charlestown,

meeting of the Campaign in the
Court house Saturday night Oct. 20,
1888. Prof. j. III. Jones, of Wheeling,
West Virginia, had been advertised
to address the meeting, but through
illness he was unable to fill his en-
gagements.
The audience numbered between
500 or 600. In the absence of Prof.
Jones, Nj. B. f. Stewart, of Pitts.
burgh. Pa, addressed the meeting
for two and a half hours. His speech
was made clear, forcible, and con-
vincing argument on the Tariff as
advocated by the Republican Party,
and made a very favorable impress
sion on the people of Charlestown
and vincinity, and created an enthu-
siasm for the Republican ticket, that
has not been witnessed in JEFF. Co.
for many years. Through Mr.. Stew.

The story Of love is Incomplete;

Yet better late than never" twas to meet;
Our lips. at least, are not too old for kissing.
What rapture to have loved as boy and grill
How sweet to have been playfellows together;
Over one fairy tale our heads to curl,
Inseparable birdlings of a feather
To mate in the first freshness of our youth
Was happiness life to US never granted;
Lonely apart we pinned, each seeking truth!
Together, We had found loves land enchanted.
The past is flown, the future still have we;
So let our twin souls blend beyond the ages,
Till, young and fair, beside the Jasper Sea,
We may discover all loves torn out pages.

stalk, which has never been utilized, is
full of fibre that can be used for textile
purposes and for paper stock, and in the
event of failure of the cotton crop by
rain or other causes, the planters, by our
process, would still have a large profit
from, the stalk alone. Gov. Gordon,
when in the city some time ago, frequent.

A New Wonder Of Electricity.

From time to time the sugar trade here
has heard ofexperiments With q new pro-
cess Of refining sugar, which vas being
kept q profound secret, but which, it was
promised, would, when brought to perfec-
tion, work wonders. The only thing
about the process was that it was an
electrical one. The trade has never
taken more than q passing interest in
the experiment, and never possessed any
confidence in its success. Indeed, as
year has followed year without demon
stration of absolute practicability, the
trade has generally regarded thewhole
thing with suspicion and iDcredulity,
much as the world regards the preten-
tions of Mr.. Keely. Lately, however,
there has seemed to be something of a
change of sentiment in regard to the
process. Sugar men are beginning to
fear that there may be something in it
after all. Actual sugar, of the most
beautiful crystals, manufactured by this
process has been exhibited on the street.
Last week there were two tests, to which
several skeptical sugar merchants we're
invited, and, according to all accounts,
they came away greatly puzzled. A
refinery has been put up in Brooklyn.
The machinery has been manufactured in
different parts Of the W I'D in order that
the secret might not beN. 'isclosed, and
this has been put together. I am told
that a final test must be made before
October 10.
II, on or before that date 1000 tons of
sugar are refined by this process in a
given time, it is said that English capi-
talists are willing to invest Sl6, 100000 in
the enterprise. I have no means Of
knowing how true this is, but it is evi.
dent that the trade is now awaiting with
much interest this final and conclusive
test. If successful, according 20 the
measure expected by its projectors, this
process will be one of the greatest COM
mercial sensations of the century. It
would reyolutionize the sugar trade. Il
would close the existing re6neries and
drive millions of capital out of the bust.
ness and break the great trust. The
cost of refining by this process, as com.
pared with that of the existing method,
would be as 70 cents to S14, and the time
consumed in refining as ten minutes to
twenty hours. All this, of course, reads
like fairy tale. 1t seems preposterous,
but in these days of steam and electricity
when one can, put ''girdle around the
world" in forty seconds; when one oan
talk from New York to Washington
when one. can reproduce by a machine
the voices of friends far distant, and
perhaps, in the grave; when steam has
annihilated space and revolutionized
trade, one can not afford to treat scorn.

or preposterous. The inventor Of the

to complete the whole, overhead there
