A QUESTION OF LIBERTY.


Hon. Roger @. Mills makes a con-
else statement of the necessity of
tariff reform when he says that 1.-The
same broad principle runs through
industrial and human freedom and
it is bound to prevail"
Between the parties on the tariff
issue, the question is altogether this
of liberty. There is no political lib
erty apart from industrial and com
mercial liberty. 1t is not ques-
ton of percentages, but system of
government The government of a
free people must, to preserve their
freedom, take their money as taxes.
AS long as taxes are just and equal,
it makes no great difference how
they are levied. Tariff taxes con
sidercd merely as taxes for govern
ment needs are best. Beyond this
they are the worst-the most insid
ious instruments of oppression that
tyranny ever devised, to accomplish
by fraud and indirection what it
fears to attempt by an open exercise
of power.
If it were not a question of liberty,
the whole issue on the tariff would
soon disappear Sixty million peo-
would not long listen to wrangles
over percentages, but when their
rights and their freedom are con-
cerned they will listen, and it will
not be long before they will cease to
listen, to act.
The whole plutocratic power of
the country is massed in support of
the system that has made plutocra
cy possible in America; that has fas-
tened on the country an industrial
and commercial slavery under which
the vast majority Of the people arc
required to blindly abandon their in
dustrial and commercial rights-not
to the government they have estab-
lished, but to class created by
class law; with none of the restraints
of an official governing class, but
with all its vices.
The conditions thus created are
not to be borne by a people that de-
sires to remain free. Not only is the
serfdom of labor consequent upon
them, but a worse consequence is the
negation of the right of the Ameri-
can citizen to control his own affairs
in everything that does not involve
unjust interference with the rights
of others. If the American citizen
has any liberty at all, it is the libert,
of wearing what clothing he pleases
without Government interference: of
selecting his own food, of determin-
ing for himself what articles it is
best for him to buy and what not to
buy.
1t is not denied, and it cannot be
denied, that the protectionists refuse
to concede that any such right ex-
lists. Their whole theory is that the
American citizen must be forced by
juggle of the tax laws to use goods
of one brand only-the goods that
have the American Protective Trust
brand on them.
President Cleveland fifty charac-
terized this system when he called
it "the communism of capital" It
is tyranny that will be overthrown.
The question is OF liberty, not of per
cent.-St Louis Republic.

& o.
did condition shis Spring.
We have seldom had miIdcr win
ter than the last. During the great
er part Of II the meadows furnished
food for stock. Besides, the Earns
were full from productive crop
last year. The winters store has
not been exhausted. There is a
good surplus for saIe as we enter
upon the Spring months.
The present indications are for an
carly spring. The birds are here in
great numbers. and their instincts
are very good guide to the seasons
So that the farmers enter upon
the productive season with supply
left over from last year. If the cur
rent year furnishes average crops
there will be an abundance of food
to begin the next winter. The far
mer can have no uneasiness about
the situation. He is in better con-
dition than usual. He ought to
have more to sell this spring than lie
generally has And If he sows
plentifully he will probably reap
beautifully this Summer.

Some Of our good friends are much
exercised lest Gov. Wilson should
not call session At the Legislature
to decide the contest, and thus add
two more years TO his own official life.
Though we have never been able to
endorse all our Governors acts, mo-
tably his issuing Of a certificate to
Judge jackson in the Fourth Dis
trict, still, we do not think him a
fool. ANY attempt on his part TO
disregard his understanding with
Golf and the members Of the Leeis-
lature, and to obstruct the course OF
justice to his own selfish advantage,
would be piece of foolishness the
meanest and most reckless man
would not for a moment consider
If Golf is entitled to his seat, the
contest should be ended as speedily
as il expedient and the chair turned
over to him. If not, then Judge
Fleming is, and justice equally de-
mands that he should not be depriv-
ed of his Office longer than is neces-
sary. No other course would be just;
and any effort to pursue a different
one would be promptly checked by a
call for an extra session fron two
thirds of the members. We should
never forget that ito be right is bet
ter than to be President" and,
though the offensivcness of the OPP
position to which we are often sub
jected in this State sometimes tempts
US to desperate deeds, the approval
of history and our own consciences
is more to be desired than success
achieved by questionable methods. =

shall We Ask for the Reform
School?

The bill establishing State Re-
form School, provides for locating
and purchasing site for the build
ings within four months from the
passage Of the act.
The commissioners appointed to
select the location and purchase the
ground are the State Superintend-
ent of Schools and one person from
each congressional district to be ap-
pointed by the Governor.
Does anybody know why Morgan
town should not have this institu-
ton? Does anybody know any more
eligible and appropriate location than
this? We have every necessary ia
cility for transportation. We have
hundreds Of splendid sites for build
ing. We can sell the State as cheap
land as any other locality. We are
a community of schools. We are
the Athens Of West Virginia, and
we know how to take care of an in.
stitution like the Reform School,
1t would be specially appropriate to
locate it here. Moreover we believe
we could get it with proper effort
We can probably assume that we
have one chance in five to start with.
Supt. Morgan being native of this
county and holding this as his home
would be inclined to give us his sup
port if we were seeking it. His in
fuence with the commission would
be very strong, and as there does
not seem to be any great contest for
it, we might capture it by the simple
asking.
The impression seems to be that
we would have give site or grounds
in order to secure it. But the bill
does not ask or contemplate any such
proceeding. The bill appropriates
money to buy a site. The State
is able to pay for what it gets. We
think it doubtful whether the COM
missioners would be willing, or
whether it would be proper for them
to consider any propositions to do
nate land, or whether the State
would accept it if offered. The com
commissioners are expected to choose
The best location without regard to
any gifts. Offers of land ought not
to influence their choice.
1t will cost us little or nothing to
invite the commission to consider
the advantages of our town, and to
have these advantages properly set
forth when the commission meets.
We ought to have energy and enter
prise enough to do that much.
We suggest to the Chamber of
Commerce that here is a job that
properly comes under it's jurisdic-
ton and it ought to see that our in
terests are properly cared for.

By the recent change in the inter

advancement in rates. False weighing
and billing are punishable offenses,
md the penalty is to be borne by both
sides. Thus If shipper tips weigh
er to pass his freight or baggage
through at less than its weight, both
the Upper and the tipped lay them
selves liable. Joint tariff agreements
are required to be published. The
changes in the law were made on the
recommendation of the inter state
commerce commission.
