ious Damage to Farmers
and 0thers-AppeaI
for Help.
PARKERsBuRG, w. Va, July Is
Telephone reports from above say
there was terrible rain and food
Friday night in the upper waters of
the Little Kanawha. Reports from
Grantsville say Calhoun county was
devastated, and crops, fences and
houses we're washed away during
the night. Several lives are also re-
ported lost. Particulars are hard
to get. The river at Grantsville is
reported to be fifteen feet and rising
rapidly. Reports from other sec
tions along the Little Kanawha state
that a fearful storm occurred during
the night, and that much property
was destroyed. Middle Island and
all big creeks above in Peasants
county are reported rising rapidly.
Bear Run, Richie county, suffered
terribly. The loss is reported at
not less than $4,000 to $4,000.
APPEAL FOR AID.
The following has been issued
here:
The recent disastrous floods in the
valleys Of the Big Tygart, Tucker,
Sandy, Lee, West Fork and other
tributaries of the Little Kanawha
river have destroyed the homes, car
ried off the houses and crops, and
caused great loss Of life, and thous-
ands of people are now without the
means of subsistence. An appeal
for assistance in this hour of need
has been made by the Mayor of this
city and the officials of the counties
of Wood, Writ and jackson.

badly needed.
This appeal is made to all who are
able to contribute something to the
relief of suffering humanity.
Assistance is sadly needed by
those poor people, and | am request

make this appeal. as the counties
afflicted are so terribly injured that
they will be unable to relieve one
tenth of the suffering.
Respectfully,
GEO. b. GIBBENs,
Mayor of Parkersburg.

want, is a treble fraud. First it is
fragrant fraud upon the govern
ment by which millions Of pounds Of
free wool will be admitted at a FIVE
sixth reduction Of duty: second. it is
fragrant fraud upon the wool grow
ers who we're promised increased
tariff taxes upon wool by the Senate
tariff bill that was made the party
platform for the campaign; and,
third, it is fragrant fraud upon
consumers, as it furnishes large
portion of the raw materials Of wool
en- manufacturers flee, and yet taxes
the people, all of whom consume
woolens, on the high basis adopted
to justify high duties on wool. 1t is
practically making nearly free raw
materials for manufacturers and
giving them all the benefit of the
high protection needed by wool
growers. The Mills bill made wool
free for manufacturers and reduced
the tax ON woolens over 20 per cent.
for the benefit of consumers; but
the fraudulent constructive tariff re-
vision gives capital everything and
consumers nothing
Is it not quite time that President
Harrison should call peremptory
halt along the whole line on the VIC
lent notifications of sacred laws by
mere official construction? If the
constructive increa sc of tariff taxes
on worsteds and the constructive re.
duction of tariff taxes ON wool are to
stand as presidents our tariff laws
will be accepted as the mere play
thing of temporary political acct
dents. One administration may, by
construction, reduce duties, and an
other increase duties indefinitely,
and thus fling uncertainty into every
channel of industry and trade, and
how could any business prosper I'M
der such reckless variations of politi
cal power? In like manner if Pen
sion Commissioner Tanner can ''re-
rate" pensioners from 81 per month
up to $50 at will, what can hinder a
future Commissioner from "re-ra
ting" pensioners from $40 down to
81 per month? The President
should see that his subordinates are
steadily drifting his administration
out into tempcstuous sea of law
lessness, and he should at once call
halt and remand all needed revis-
ions of the nations laws to Congress.
The action of the United States
Customs Appraisers is notable as a
confession that free wool is a neces-
slty to give prosperity to our indus
tries; but there is a right way and a
wrong way to do even the right
thing. and increased duties on wor-
steds, lessened duties on wool and in
creased pensions are questions which
belong solely to the law making pow
er and not to irresponsible political
accidents who happen to be apprais-
ers or pension officials. Let us have
free wool, but let us get it by lawful
methods, not by revolutionary de-
crees of petty placemen, who simply
execute campaign contracts.-PhH

The Forum For August.

With the August Number The
Forum completes its seventh volume
The leading article in this number
is by Mr.. John G. Carlisle, Speaker
of the House Of Representatives, on
"The Republican Program" He
explains and defends the Cleveland
Administration especially as regards
the expenditures Of public money,
and predicts that the public patience
will be exhausted with the extraya-
gance of the present Administration
before it closes. The article con
tains a balance sheet showing the
expenditures Of the Cleveland Ad-
ministration. Another political arti-
Gle is by ex Gov. Hoadly, Of Ohio
on Methods of Ballot Reform"
which is an explanation of the adj
vantages and the defects of the
Australian system, summary of
the experiments with it made thus
far in the United States, and an
argument for publicity about cam
paign expenses. Many forcible
incidents ere quoted to show the
need ofsuch publicity. The Forum

Foreign Ownership of Ameri.
can Ind ustrfes.


knowing good thing when they see
it, have concluded, it appears, to
place themselves in position to en-
joy on large scale the benefits of
our tariff. For some years Mr.. Car
negie, a Scotchman. has been utiliz-
ing our tariff on iron and steel. His
profits, amounting to millions, have
excited the cupidity of other Britons
His Cluny Castle, bought with mon
ey the tariff enabled him to wiring
out of the American consumer, and
his magnificent requests to various
objects in Scotland have impressed
the British Imagination, and convin-
ced even the slow going English
mind that the American tariff is a
very good thing for capitalist who
knows how to turn it to account.
The Scotch manufacturers of sewing
thread long ago learned the utility
of the tariff. They have had their
factories in this country for many
years, greatly to their profit and our
loss. But their operations were not
on so magnificent scale as Mr.. Car
negies and produced few imitators.
Now, however, the movements to
utilize American industries for for
eign profit appears to have set in on
a large scale The Pittsburg steel
industry promises to be the next
capture. A syndicate of English
capitalists, it was stated in yester-
days Sun, is negotiating for the
purchase of all the steel works in
and about Pittsburg. Mr.. Nimick,
of the firm of Singer, Nimick d CO.,
tells of offers to buy controlling
interest, and other large owners adj
nit that negotiations are pending.
Should the transfer of ownership
take place it would be but repeti-
ton of what has recently happened
to various large American mills and
breweries These industries and
others have passed into the hands
of English and Scotch capitalists,
who will use our American tariff for
all it is worth. 1t is not meant to
convey the idea that the masses of
our people will be worse off with
English and Scotch proprietors of
protected industries. On the con-
trary, it is likely that they will be
better off, as the foreign capitalist
is content with a smaller profit, and
will probably give the country chea-
per and better steel and beer than
it now gets. What we do wish to
call attention to is the altered posi-
tion of these Industries after they
have passed into foreign hands.
The plea for the protection of the
foreign industry, owned and opera
ted for the foreigners profit, can
hardly be so strong as for the native
industry, the profits of which are
spent among us. Why move Heav-
en- and earth, it will be asked, to ex-
clude British goods from our ports
when the beneficiary of the proceed
ing is the Briton in our midst.
The buyer of manufactured articles
now pays an enhanced price for
them in order that the protected
manufacturer may be free from for
eign competition. He makes an en-
forced present to the American man
ufacturer, thanks to the tariff, the
amount of his present being the
difference between the price of the
foreign and the American article.
The American manufactures when
he sells his product adds, whenever
he can, the tariff tax to it's price,
else he would not want tax. A
tariff that dose rot enhancs prices

The tariff duty on structural iron,
such as is produced at the Home
stead Mills of Carnegie, Phipps &
Co., where wages were recently re-
duced 20 per cent, is S2S per ton
The cost abroad is about $2S per ton
not more than that. The price of
structural iron in the market of this
country is $44. Everybody who
uses structural iron, therefore, in
ship or railroad or bridge building
or in the construction of anything in
which such iron is used, is compelled
to pay Mr.. Carnegie $44 ton for
something that could be bought
abroad for $2S. And although he
thus exacts from the purchaser $16
for every ton Of iron he makes, he
cuts down the wages paid for every
ton from $500 to 1915. Mr.. Car
neoie and other manufacturers de-
clared that if the Mills bill passed
limiting their exactions to $14 ton,
they would be compelled to reduce
wages. The Mills bill was defeated
and so was Mr.. Cleveland and his
party, and Mr.. Harrison, who was
going to make everybody rich and
the nation prosperous, was elected !;
structural iron brings $44 ton, but
wages per ton are reduced from IS
to 1915 by a compromise. Let the
campaign of education go on.

whether Congress may meet in
October or December, controversy
is anticipated at the outstart over
the rules of the House. The major
ity of the Republicans must in the
nature of things be so small, even
though they should carry the new
States, that it would be hard for
them to force through an extrcm c
party programme in the face of a de-
termined opposition backed by the
power which the rules confer for the
protection Of minorities. If the
threatened parliamentary conflict
should arise in the next Congress it
could turn upon Il standing rule of
the House which declares that it's
rules shall be the rules of the present
and succeeding House, unless
otherwise ordered" but the Consti-
tuition Of the United States, which is
superior to any parliamentary rule,
declares that leach House may de-
termine the rules of its proceed
ings. 1t would be intoerable if one
House could adopt a series of rules
which would enable minority in
the next house to prevent their abro-
cation by majority.

HORRIBLE DETAILS.

The Richie Gazette publishes it
as follows: On the 4th day of July,
1889, Jacob Doyle was married to
Zennetta Goodwin. the motherless
daughter of James Goodwin. All
reside in the same house as well as
five other children of Goodwin. In
his evidence before the justice, Doyle
swore that his wife arose from her
bed by his side, on the night of the
18th of July, and that when she re
turned he taxed her with improper
conduct, and she finally admitted
her guilt and that her father had de-
bauched her. On the night of the
goth of July, she again arose from
her bed. and this time be followed
her, and beheld the evidences of
crime, the girl again admitted her
guilt in the presence of her father.
james Goodwin on the witness
stand declared under oath that this
was all an infamous lie
Zennetta Doyle is not quite seven
teen wears old and is pretty girl.
She WAS sworn as witness, and al
though not having heard her hus-
bands evidence, corroborated it in a
manner most convincing, admitting
her own guilt.
In connection with ZenneUta's story
comes the most terrible part of this
dark iniquity. She made affidavit,
before the trial, that before her faith
er would consent to her marriage
with Doyle. he compelled her to
agree to engage in infamy with bin
And so in accordance with this com
pact, of which Luciier himself might
be proud, she sinned that sorrow and
shame might oyerwhelm her and hers.
The above was all the evidence
taken in the case, but on the strength
of it Goodwin was held by the JUS
tice to answer an indictment. The
feeling in the matter is very strong,
and it will not be surprising if the
people of this community manifest
their Indignation before the law has
taken its course

LUST LEAD TO CRIME.
The Horrible Deed Of Richie COun-
ty Father.
GEO. b. GIBBENs,
Mayor of Parkersburo

ELLENBoRo, w. Va, July 26-This
community has been in the throes of
excitement over horrible crime
which has just been brought to light.
The crime is nothing less than in
cest, of peculiarly revolving charac-
ter, and the criminal a well known
citizen, who has always stood high
in the community.
On Tuesday James f. Goodwin
was arrested and arranged before
Squire Thomas Hess. OF Harrisville,
on warrant charging him with in
cesI with his own daughter, a moth
erless child. The history of the case
is full of
