A Voice from tho United Democracy Of
Randolph.
TO ne Editor ofts Register.
BEVERLY, W. VA, July 81, 1sss.-The
news of the denomination Of the Hon.
w. L. Wilson to succeed himself in the
Congress of the United States, by the
Piedmont convention, was received here
with the greatest of Satisfaction. We
recognize in Mr.. Wilson q worthy man
and an honest, fearless and conscientious
public servant, one who is looking and
working for the best interests OF the whole
people and not in the interest OF favored
few, bat, Mr.. Editor, We are Democrats,
and IL We cannot always get our cnoice we
have long since learned to gracefully SUD-
nit 10 some one elss's choice, bat, SIR, we
.recoguizs in Mr.. Wilson man worthy OF
the votes of the honest mountaineers OF
old Randolph county. While we had q
candidate from this county before that
convention, yet We heard with pleasure
the cry of Give us Whom"
And YOU may now look for Mr.. Wilson
to receive at least eight hundred majority
in this county. We are not afraid Oh
Democratic administration. The farmers
of these hills see in the Hon. w. L. Will
son statesman who is working as repre-
sentative never worked before from this
district or this State to lessen the burdens
that are now crushing the life out OF their
industry. Republican shytsrs can not
convince them that it Is to their interests
to pay $40 for coat that ought to be pur-
chased for So. They are not good in srith-
metic, but they still know the difference
between five and ten dollars, although
they do not see that much money often,
but they are looking forward to the time
when the money now flowing into the
National Treasury will be left in the
pockets of the people Then, and not until
then, do they expect to handle much Of
Uucle Sans greenbacks.

THE SENATE BILL.
some of the Tariff Changes rs Taken from
the Present Draft.

Some of the Tariff Changes rs Taken from
the Present Draft.
WASHINGTON, July 3l.-A draft of the
Senate tariff bill has been printed, and
were it not for further hearings it could be
presented to the Senate inside Of the next
IL houIs. As il now stands there is an
estimated reduction of the revenues Of
about SIS, GOO, 900; Sc, 600, 900 of this comes
from the free list, as agaist So, COZ, 600
proposed by the Mills bill. The Senate free
list will include only such articles as are
not now made or produced in this country.
Anything of . competitive nature will be
rigidly excluded. OF the principal articles
now on the tariff list there may perhaps be
slight reduction. Although the prevail
ing sentiment is not to touch the present
duty on lumber at all, the argument ad-
yaneed is that while free lumber would be
popular with the masses, to slightly reduce
the present duty would meet with no favor,
while ON the other hand it is said that
many of he Southern men want the duty
on lumber left alone, which would, Of
course, tend to develop their almost virgin
| forests.
The duty on steel rails will be cut abont
So az against So by the Mills bill Alec
bol used in the arts being made free of tax
will lead to an entire revision Of tine chem
ical schedule, ss with cheaper alcohol all
chemical products can be manufactured for
LEES money.
The proposed so per cent. reduction on
sugar has been sgreed upon, but the COM
mittee has not determined how far 1t will
90 N repeating the internal revenue tax on
tobacco.
The duty on rice will be reduced, but
Mr.. Hiscock has brought influence enough
to bear on his colleagues to induce them
to leave salt alone. The average reduc-
ton under the bill will be- about per
cent. below that of the Mills bill, bringing
the average rate down to about 80 per
/ cent.

High v. Low Licenses.
WHEELING, July 81
To ne Editor Of ne Reaiaer::

To the Editor Of TIE Register:
SIR:-The InteHigeneer this morning pub
fishes q long and Caring account OF the
workings of high license in Pennsylvania,
but it forgets to give us any data rs TO the
comparative amount OF liquor consumed
under the high license system. The IN
telligeneer says the Z, 724 licenses granted in
1888, will yield revenue of 81, 835, 967,
as against $976, 179 from the IA, $50 licenses
under the old law. Now, would like to
know if that does not necessarily increase
the consumption of liquors in this State.
A man who sells liquor enough to justify
him in paying a 500 license, will have
to sell more than five times that amount
to enable him to pay $500 license re-
quired in Pennsylvania. To prove my
argument, l will give you statistics
taken from the Western brewers annual
official report OF the trade which gives
the number of barrels sold in three high
license States, as follows:
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1888-08-02

These are carefully compiled statistics.
They might be multiplied indefinitely.
They demonstrate beyond all question,
first, high license increases the amount of
liquor consumed; second, high license in
creases drunkenness; third, high license
increases crime.
Ii the above statistics will not convince
any sensible person of the fallacy of the
high license question, they can have all
the evidence they want by simply asking
for it. We are ready to meet any man on
this question either on the stump or
through the press. j. G. NJ.
