NEEDS ELIXIR OF LIFE.

In a laborious and highly monop-
olistic article of one column, the
dear brother of the Journal endeav-
ors to show that Protection is nee
essary in the land of the poor and
the home of monopolists. He fails,
however, to show that it is good for
anything that would promote the
happiness or good fortune of the
poor, for he admits that Protection
will not make the sun shine, the
rain to fall, the crops to grow, to
increase production, to increase the
workman's wages, give us plenty of
work and good times. In the name
OF heaven what Is Protection good
for then ? If it is not good for the
masses it must be a benefit to the
select class. AS the Journal admits
that Protection cannot give our
laboring element steady work at
good wages, its argument that Pro-
lection is for the benefit of American
labor falls fiat. But its party is
under contract with monopoly to
advocate Protection as blessing to
American labor, and as it is a mem
Der of that party it is compelled to
shout Protection in season and out
of season.

England want all the advantages
which God, nature and man can
give them. II an Englishman can
give some of them cheaper, l am
willing to let him do it. When an
American stands up and says he can
not compete with an Englishman
on American territory he is crying
"baby." To this may be added
the testimony of the Boston Post,
which declares that all New Eng
land asks is to be let alone. -KanaU-

THE Sugar Trust began business
with modest capital of fifty mill
ion dollars. In a few years time
this sum will be doubled. The
stockholders of this trust are adding
to their immense wealth rapidly by
robbing the people. Twelve months
ago citizen desiring to buy sugar
could go to his grocer and for one
dollar purchase twelve pounds of
granulated sugar. To-day the same
purchaser would only receive eight
pounds of sugar for one dollar.
This enormous advance in the price
of this necessary of life is due to the
greed of the rich men who form and
control the Sugar Trust.
AS long as the Republican party
is in power and high tariff main
tanned, those robbers will be permit
ted to despoil the people. They
furnished the money to place that
party in power, and it will take
care of these monopolists, their
friends. -HuntingtOn AdCertiser.

WEST vIReINIA's OIL BOOM.

Is West Virginia destined to be a
rich oil producing State? The
question has already been answered
in the thousand barrel wells on
Dolls run, and the southwark de-
velopment Of the oil territory into
Marion and adjacent counties. The
oil fever is high. Lands are being
leased or bought outright, rigs arc
being erected and drills are going
down in search Of the hidden wealth
IN hundreds Of valleys. New CAPT
tai and new industry is coming into
the State, and adds its share to the
magnificent railroad development
already going on.
All Of which proves that West
Virginia is good State TO live in.
1t is a good State to come to. It is
a good State to tie to. We are but
in the beginning Of our industrial
growth. The future has far more
in store for the settler in West Vir-
ginia than dozen Eldosado's Of
the West can offer. Reqisfer.

New England is no longer the
stronghold Of protection. The In

the United States Senate, which has

To Those Who Owe Us.

We do not like to be continually
calling upon those who owe us to
settle their indebtedness, nor will
we. We realize the fact that those
who have paid do not like to see,
week after week, articles asking for
money, and for that reason we will
not often use our columns for that
purpose. But we haye few words
to say to those who still owe us on
subscription, advertising and job
work. We need and must have at
least t'c0 hUndred dollars at once.
and for the purpose of raising that
amount we will, in few days, send
out statements to those who owe us,
and we hope those receiving them
'CiH remit at once, so that we will be
enabled to carry on our business
successfully. We mast hare money.

Our townsville correspondent,
"Zed," while differing with us po-
litically, knows where to come for
information. The ARGUS takes
pleasure in imparting information,
but it is a little in the dark con-
corning the appointment of an over
seer of the poor for Kingwood dis
trict. What our correspondent says
about Mr.. Jacob ID. Weaver is un-
doubtedly true, and we might add
that Mr.. John Snider is well quail
flied for the position. We imagine,
however, TIE trouble can be traced
to politics. The Stalwarts are on
top in Preston just now and it is
quite likely that Mr.. Weaver does
not belong to this wing of the party.
A little inquiry in this direction,
"Zed," may enable you to discover
the reason your man was rejected.

well The best profits are made on lines,
which are of irregular and often insufficient
supply, but in constant demand in the best
class of saloons.
From mention of saloon supplies fur
nished by vendors it seems natural grada-
ton to call attention to vendors who are
practically saloons in themselves. There
are such, and, singular it may seem, most
of them are women. OF course they are all
unlicen ed and pursue their business in a
shady and surreptitious way. They carry
baskets of half-pint, pint and quart TASKS
flied with cheap liquors, which they peddte
from room to room in teneme It houses AS
they have to compete with the lowest class
of grogshops and ''morgues" their prices
are necessarily extremely low and the
quality of their liquors unutterably

grade of any kind of liquor, and all Sorts
rum, brandy, gin or whisky-cost the same.
Their customers are generally women o.
men who pursue the humber sedentary oc-
equations, such as tailoring or cigarmak-
ing at home. Not a few of these cigar
makers, by the way, contribute the supplies
for another class of surrepltlous peddlers,
fellows got up as sailors ashore from YES
sci trading to Havana who have alleged

box very cheaply to half baked clerks and
others whose judgment is badly developed.
Another class of female vendors much
seen in downtown offices and public places
are the dealers in fruits and nuts. Gener-
ally these have we'll defined routes through
certain buildings. and are as regular in
their daily calls upon their patrons as the
letter carriers One notable exception to
this rule is ah old Irish woman known to
tens of thousands of New Workers. She
never sells anythiN but nuts, and was al
ready famous as vendor of nuts in all the
offices OF the city and county departments,
and in the saloons frequent d by politicians,
as long ago as the days when the Tweed
ring controlled New York. Every one of
the local politicians then was personal &C.
