The Democratic party has always
been what it pretends to be-the
party of the people-especially of
the working people. 1t passed a
law granting charters to National
Trades Unions, after the Repnbli-
can Congress of 1866, '6s, SO, 10,
threw their petitions therefor into
the waste basket.
The Republicans were in power
% years. During all that time
they failed and refused to do any
thing for the cause of labor. AS
soon as the Democrats got into
power in congress, they made haste
to establish a National Bureau of
Labor Statistics. The Democratic
party passed law forbidding the
importation of pauper labor under
contract. The same party passed
law to prevent the Importation OF
skilled labor, if it can be had at
home. That is not the half in their
brief time that they have done for
labor.

DEMOCRAT
River and Harbor Appropria-

lions.
The River and Harbor bill as re-
ported to Congress, appropriates
over nineteen million dollars for the
Improvement of the waterways and
harbors of the country. This is
the largest sum ever appropriated
for this purpose, but it is to be re-
membered no appropriations at all
were made last year. West vir-
ginia is we'll provided for in the
bill, and Congressman Snyder, who
is member of the Committee on
River and Harbors, is deserving of
the thanks of the State for his eff
forts in this direction. The Great
Kanawha is allowed s3O0,OOO; the
Big Sandy, 1860; the Elk and
Buckhannon, 81, 800 each; the Guy
andotte 81 900, and the Little Ka-
nawha s25, 900.
For the improvement of the Ohio
river sS5O,OOO is appropriated, of
which $4,000 is to be expended on
the bar at the mouth of the Lick
ing river, $4,000 for building an
ice harbor at Portsmouth, s25, 900
for improvements at the mouth of
the Big Hooking, and $4,000 for the
completion of the ice harbor at
Marietta. The committee also pro-
vides for an expenditure of $50, 600
ON improvements at the falls of the
Ohio at Louisville, and $4,000 at

The cry.about "high tariff wages
and "panper labor is a delusion
and a snare. American labor is
paid less for mining ton of coal or
for making a yard of cloth than
even the cheap labor of Germany,
miserably paid as the Germans are.
These truths should be published
and studied throughout the length
and breadth of the land.

Gen. Goff favors high sprotec-
tive tariff. OF course he does. A
high protective tariff has socrushed
the farmers that Golf and bis ances-
tors have made fortunes out of lend
ing their money at usurious rates of
interest. The COTS have covered
the fine farms of Harrison county
with net work of mortgages. The
thieving tariff compelled farmers to
borrow money, and the COTS took
advantage of the burdens and de-
mandcd and cxacted high rates of
interest. OF course Golf is for pro-
lection ilmer Banner.

What are the Democrats. of Mason

What are the Democrats of Mason
doing in the way of orgaaizationg-
In the majority of the counties of
the State the Democracy are on the
alert and organizing their forces
In many counties Democratic Clubs
have been organized, and they are
getting ready for the great battle,
TO be fought with ballots this fall
The campaign now practically on
in West Virginia, will be the most
important one to the people that
has ever taken place in this State.
The Republicans are going to make
their last desperate effort to capture
this State, and are the Democrats of
Mason going to remain idle and not
meet Republican organization with
Democratic organization This is
the important question to the De-
mocracy of this county at this time.
The issue is now, as it has always
been, between the two great parties.
The Republicans favoring ccntrali-
cation, high taxes and oppression;
and the Democracy fighting the
battles of the people.
The policy of the Democratic
party, is to reduce the war taxes,
aud to leave the peoples money in
the pockets of the people, instead of
boarding it up by the millions in
the vaults of the treasury. On the
other hand, 1t is the policy of the
Republican party to take from the
people hundreds of millions of dol
lars annually, over and above the
amount needed to defray the expen-
ses of the government, economically
administered, under the delusivc
cry of protection, that it may Gre
ate milIiOnaires, encourage ''trusts'
and all sorts of combinations, and
to waste it in extravaganza, bribery
and corrupt party schemes. Why
should the people submit longer to
this extortionate tax, in order to
protect the rich man? Where is the
protection to the mechanic and the
laborer under this Republican policy
of unjust and unnecessary taxation2
Are not the rich manufacturers be-
coming richer and richer every day,
while their employees are growing
poorer and poorer, every day?
Now, let the Democrats of Mason
county go to work and organize
the party and discuss the questions
that will come up in this campaign
among themselves and they will not
be deceived by Republican misrep-
reservations and falsehoods.
With thorough Democratic or
ganizatien, there is no danger of the
Republicans of carrying this State,
this fall; and we don't believe they
could carry it, even should there be
no organization of the Democratic
party in the State; but without or
ganization, it would not be safe.

require a few hundred dollars, and
the probability was that he would

WHAT AMITO DO?

The symptoms of Biliousness are IN
happily but too well known. They differ
ia different individuals to some extent: a
bilious man is seldom a breakfast eater.
Too frequently. alas. he has an excellent
appetite for liquids but none for solids Of
a morning. His tongue will hardly bear
inspection at any time; If it is not white
and furred, it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out OF
order aud Diarrhea or Constipation may
be symptom or the two may alternate
There are often Hemorrnoids or even loss
of blood. There may be giddiness and
often headache and acidity or hatulence
and tenderness in the pit of the omach.l
To correct all this if not effect a cure try
Green's August Floacer, it cost but trlle
and thousands attest its efficacy. For safe
