CONTINUED in our next.

Last week society circles were in a
1utter Of expectation on account of
the approaching grand ball which
took place last Friday evening
at Protector Hall. The youth

At 11:3O o'clock the whole company
adjourned to the ladies' restaurant of

CLEyELAND's HYPOCRISY.

The London Times, on Cleveland's s
letter to Tammany Hall, cabled to the
New York World, says:
at would hardly be possible to put
the free trade case more clearly or more
strongly, and yet President Cleveland
shrinks from the use of the term free
trade and, in fact, declares that those
who taunt him with being free trader
are deceiving the country. 1t
is certain that the arguments which
President Cleveland urges are those
which Golden used to employ forty-five
years ago, and which any English free
trader would employ now. Such propo-
sitions as that taxation ought to be
strictly limited by the needs of the coun-
try; that it is unjust to tax the whole
community for the benefit of special
classes; that import duties stifle produc-
UiOn and limit the area of a country's
markets, are purely free trade argu-
ments. AS such we are very glad to see
President Cleveland using them"
Says the London Daily Nelcs: "Presi-
dent Cleveland shows that he is the free
trade candidate in everything but name.
The reservation is an important one for
American party purposes. The Presi-
dent feels compelled to characterize the
attempt to brand him as free trader as
deception, but for all that the electoral
conflict now in progress is a conflict be-
tween free trade and protection, and
nothing else"

THE PIRATE OF NATIONS.

New York Sun.
Great Britain has ruined every cOun-
try in the world which she has persuaded
or forced into Free Trade. Her CONNER
cial treaties cozened out of Portugal,
Spain and Turkey destroyed the indus
tries of each of those countries, and
made them poor. Her cheap goods
crushed out the ancient household
manufactures of the Indian Empire,
which she oyerran, and left millions of
the conquered people with the bare sub
sistence of rice and water.
A British army of invasion forced
China to admit into her territory the
opium which British merchants could
market only in that empire, and forced
the entry through the custom houses of
China of British merchandise at the de-
structive duty of 2 per cent. Gd oGlOrem.
1t was the massacre of the industry of
a magnificent and venerable empire, and
of countless thousands of poor Chinese
men, women and children. These cheap
goods pirates in like manner covered
Japan with the guns of their war ships
and compelled her to receive the flimsy
products of Birmingham, Manchester,
and Sheffield at the uniform duty of 5
per cent. Gd 0aI0rem. That is Free Trade,
and it is strangling the life out of help
less Japan. The experience of Ireland
is too well known to need special men
tion here.
England, indeed, is the commercial
pirate of the world. She is now strain
ing her utmost to rob the United States
of its industries and get control of our
market. If she succeeds, every work
iDgman and working woman in this
country will be brought to comparative
poverty. You can't help losing the high
wages you now receive. If you obtain
any work at all against the pauper- paid
labor of England you will be compelled
by that competition to accept as wages
precisely that pauper pay. Then, per-
haps, you will love England more than
you do now.

GEN. JACKSON ON THE TARIFF.
WORDS OF WISDOM AND PATRIOTISM

WORDS OF WISDOM AND PATRIOTISM
WE MUST BECOME MORE AMERICAN
IzED-THE TARIFF OUR MEANS OF DE-
FENsE AGAINST EUROPE.
WASHINGTON CITY, April 26, 1924.
L. II. COLMAN: Heaven smiled upon
us and gave us liberty and independence.
The same Providence has blessed us with
the means of national independence and
national defense If we omit or refuse to
use the gifts which He has extended to us,
we deserve not the continuance of His
blessing He has filled our mountains
and our plains with minerals lead,
iron. and copper-and given us a climate
and soil for the growing of hemp and of
wool. These being the great materials
of our national defense, they ought to
have extended to them adequate and fair
protection, that our manufacturers and
laborers may be placed in fair competi-
ton with those of Europe, and that we
may have within our country a supply of
those leading and important articles so
essential in war.
will ask what is the real situation of
the agriculturist? Where has the Amer
ican farmer market for his surplus pro-
duce? Except for cotton, he has neither
foreign nor home market. Does this
not clearly prove, when there is no mar
ket either at home or abroad, that there
is too much labor employed in agricul-
ture? Common sense at once points out
the remedy. Take from agriculture in
the United States six hundred thousand
men, women and children, and you will
at once give market for more bread
stuffs than all Europe now furnishes us.
In short, sir, we have been too long sub
iect to the policy of British merchants.
1t is time we should become little more
AmericGRizeI, and instead of feeding the
paupers and the laborers of England, feed
our own; or else, in short time, by con-
tinuing our present policy, we shall all
be rendered paupers ourselves. 1t is,
therefore, my opinion that careful and
judiciouS tariff is much wanted to pay
our national debt, and to afford us the
means of that defense within ourselves
on which the safety and liberty of our
country depend; and last, though not
least, give proper distribution to our
labor, which must prove beneficial to the
happiness, independence, and wealth of
the community.
| am, sir, very respectfully, your most
obedient servant, ANDREW JACKSON.

THE VIRGINIA IMBROGLIO.

Richmond Letter, July 10.
The Wise faction of the Republican
party of Virginia has made a proposition
to the Malone wing of the party to select
Electors from both tickets and have but
one Republican Electoral ticket in the
State.
General Malone refuses to treat the
proposition from Wise with a thought
and told the messengers from Wise that
he had nothing to say except that the
Republican Electoral ticket named at
Petersburg on the 18th of May last will
be voted for by the Republicans of Vir-
ginia at the coming election.
The question now is, what will Wise
and his friends do?
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1888-07-19

READERS of THE CHRONICLE will re-
member that during the last session of
the General Assembly measures were in
troduced looking to more enlightened
system of making and repairing roads,
and that at the Farmers Institute, held
in the latter part of January, an attempt
was made to direct public attention to
the subject. 1t was hoped that the peo-
pie would canvass the matter in these
gatherings throughout the State, so that
when the laws are revised they would be
in accord with enlightened public opin-
ion, and rational and practical. At the
meeting in this county but little discus
sion and interchange of opinion was had.
Without thought upon the question
treating it as men would some trivial
matter in political gatherings resO-
luton was hurried through the meeting
declaring, in effect, that nothing had
been learned in the last half century in
road making.
That this was a mistake, very many
present who were not directly interested
in maintaining the old order of things
were free to admit, after little refec-
tiOn.
Good roads are important to every COM
munity- to soil and climate and
markets, of chief Importance in estima-
ting the value of farms. Without good
roads, these latter can not be so fully and
proftably utilized. Belmont is largely
in advance of surrounding counties in
this respect because of the hundred miles
of turnpikes within its borders, and it is
TO this fact, in large degree, that we
owe the development and enhanced value
of its farms.
Rippingup a roadside periodically with
plow and throwing the Ioosened earth
upon the roadway, with little regard to
drainage, is not the most scientific nor
economical manner of road making
Water is the most destructive agent
No matter how solid and excellent the
roadway, thorough and instant drainage
is essential. Farmers and others, too,
should as far as possible avoid the use
of the roads when the frost is coming out
of the ground, and thus save their teams
and vehicles, as well as the roads. Weeds,
alders, and briers along roadsides should
be carefully removed. A good blue grass
sod and an occasional tree along roads
are worth looking after.
1t is believed by persons who have
given much thought to the subject that
great improvement is possible in the
methods of opening and repairing public
roads in this State. One of the plans
proposed is to abolish the supervisors,
require road taxes to be paid in money
that the work of opening and repairing
roads be let to contractors, and that Trus-
tees of townships appoint skilled persons
to see that the work is done according to
contract. 1t is claimed that such method
would insure better roads, and it is be-
lieved at less expense.
This is matter in which the people
are deeply interested, and that some i'm
prOvement should be devised nearly al
are agreed.
