West Virginia argus. [volume] (Kingwood, W. Va.) 1877-1946, 1889-11-07

BILLY Malone, the Republi can
nominee for Governor of Virginia,
was willing that Virginia should be
sold out under the hammer to a
syndicate of English holders of
Virginia bonds, il the Englishmen
would advance him 800, 900 for
his campaign fund. We would like
to hear from the Era and Journal
which yelled SO loud and long about
Free Trade England" furnishing
the Democratic party with money
to carry on their campaign. OF
course it was as infamous as it was
untrue, but it served its purpose.
There is no question about the
truthfulness Of William Mahone's
deal with the English bondholders
to furnish him with 800, 900 for a
campaign fund with which to de-
bauch the Virginia voters, just like
u only Nathan Golf did with the
colored Virginia brother. Now let
the Era and Journal tell us what
they think of Billy Malone and his
English Backers.

A DEMAND for our coke at home
and abroad is what we like. Why
do You mourn, Bro. ARGUs.-Jour-
nal.
A recent convert to this doctrine,
then? During the campaign, and
up to the present time, you advoca-
ted "'home markets exclusively.
You wanted no foreign markets.
How is this? What has come over
you? The ARGUS is not satisfied
with the home markets. 1t wants
to sell in the markets of the world,
which it believes we can do with
profit to America. From the above
we infer that you are of the same
opinion, if it did take you thirty
five years to get your eyes open.

How Many

One of the pleasant pastimes of
the Era and Journal is telling about
the poor immigrants coming to this
country to better their conditions,
after which our contemporaries will
wind up with their glory hall elujah
that protection is the cause of the
immigration. Now we have a very
pertinent question to ask our dear
brethren. 1t is this {: How many
workingmen are there in West Vlr-
ginia to-day who can raise enough
money to take themselves and fam
lilies to Europe? The immigrants
who come to this country (all agree
they are of the poor CLASSY seem to
have sufficient money to bring them
to this country, and money left to
buy the necessaries of life. Many,
indeed, buy farms. How many of
our people can go on the other side
of the pond and do this? Let the
reader of this ask himself the ques-
ton, have sufficient means to bun
die up tomorrow and take myself
and family (if said readeris married)
to England, Germany or France to
live, and see how many can answer,
yes ?

AND now the ARGUS cries because England
needs coke and has 20 buy II from American
manufacturers and pay a price which ~justihes
our operators 10 give good wages 10 our laborers.
BRO. ARGUS you've been saying something
about a home market" Do you object TO both
the home and foreign marketf-JournaI.
Those who have been reading the
Journal will remember how the
astute editor of the Journal would
pull his hair and grit his teeth when
the ARGUS would mention selling
u products abroad. He would
declare that it could not be done.
and that a revision Of the tariff
meant total destruction to our
American enterprises. lie would
assert that a revision Of the tariff
meant the placing Of the American
laborer upon an equality with the
panper labor Of Europe II was his
nightly dream and daily wells,
"FreeT Trade England - How could
Anerlcans compete with free trade
England if part Of the high protect
i've tariff was Topped of, he would
argue. But alas for human folly (,
High protective America is shipping
coke to Free Trade England, and
pays a price which iustifes our
operators 70 give good wages 10 our
laborers," as the Journal remarks.
In the name Of all that is honest
and just how can our American Oh
orator pay good wages to their men
and ship coke al the way to Eng.
land and compete With the English
operators who pay their men star
walton wages, which the Journal
claims? Why the necessity Of a
tariff Of 80 and Is cents a ton on
coal II our operators can pay good
wages and 90 into the free trade
market and sell at a profit? All.
Bro. Dawson, this knocks the wind
ont Of your high protective tariff
argument.

LEV N HIS SALOON.

Levi P. Morton, who was elected
Vice-President of the United States
by the grace of Doodle and blocks of
five, has opened up a fine saloon in
his Washington hotel. We have
observed nothing in the Era or
Journal which would indicate dis
approval of Lewis course, although
they preach morality and prohibi-
ton belong to the g. o. p. Let our
temperance brethren hang Grape on
their doors, while Levi rakes in the
dimes for the hilarious Tom and
Jerry!

uted by the foreign manufacturer
before his wares can be placed upon
the market here.
The above reyolves itself into
this {: If the man in England is
paid $50 per month, and the man
in America is paid $50 per month,
and the former can save five dollars
a month out Of his earnings, while
the latter cannot make both ends
meet, we unhesitatingly say that the
former receives the best wages. 1t
is not what a man gets, but what he
a save, is what counts on a rainy
day, as our brother will have to adj
NIT.
But We deny that protection is
the cause of the difference of wages
In the old countries and the United
States. When America becomes as
densely populated as the olden coun-
tries, wages will be the same. The
price of labor, the world over, is
regulated by supply and demand.
To illustrate, if Mr.. Smith wishes
to build a dwelling house, and a
dozen or more of carpenters are
seeking the contract, Mr.. Smith
will give it to the lowest bidder, and
the result is that Smith will get his
house built cheap. But if some ten
or twelve gentlemen wish to build
houses and there are but two or
three carpenters, it necessarily fol-
lows that the said carpenters can
dictate the consideration.
But our brother always finds con
ISOLATION in wandering over to the
old world and depicting the misery
and woe of the poor European labor
ers We prefer to remain on
American soil and fight the battle
Of u American brethren. But
since the Era has compared Euro
pean wages to American wages, we
have q few facts to submit for its
consideration and explanation.
Will it kindly enlighten us of the
difference between the wages paid
in the Western and Eastern States =:
Why is it that the laborer, coal
miner, carpenter, machinist, etc.
receive better wages in the West
than their brethren in the East
The Era will not deny that they
receive the same protection. VIII,
is it that the Illinois coal miner.
cannot make a decent living on 81
'cents per ton while the West Virgin.
la coal miner has made both end,
meet at thirty cents q ton ? Why {
carpenter in the West gets from
$3.50 to 81 a day while the carpen.
ter in the East is contented with
$3.50 and 80 a day? Indeed We
know of Preston county carpenters
who are working for $3.50 per day
Now, Bro. Era, let us hear from
you.
