A YOUNG WOMAN SPEAKS.

The following essay was recently
read by Miss Genevieve Kinsell.
before q farmers institute at Green
wich, Ohio. 1t is welcome to the
columns of the ARGUS, and COM
mended to the careful thought of its
readers. 1t is thoughtful, logical
and forcible, and we trust every
Preston county farmer will read and
study it carefully. 1t will give them
an insight as to how protection pro-
tects the farmer. It's facts and fig
ures cannot be controverted by the
organs Of monopoly. It is not nee
essary to remark that the Journal
and Era will not publish Miss Kin
sells article:
WHAT is THE PARMER's FUTURE /?
1t is admitted that in the last
analysis the payment Of all expenses
for our social, civic and commercial
establishments falls upon the farm
ers, no matter by what process its
collection is made. BY any and
every process ultimate payment is
made from and by an appropriation
OF farm products, and the farm has
1ohat is left.
When Columbus set foot on Amer
lean soil no taxes were levied because
in the state Of nature there was no
surplus Of larboPs production and
land in a stata Of nature needed no
care and would not pay taxes.
AS men labored thereafter they
FIRST consumed what their needs de-
manded Of their products and when
q surplus accumulated which had to
be protected and guarded, and the
expense thereof paid, taxation come.

OUR LAST.

Once again the gods have decreed
that the ARGUS should change own
ers. This time it falls into the
hands of Mr.. j. s. Brown, an old
Preston boy, who will, by his abil-
ity any push, raise the ARGUS still
higher, and finish the work of dis
rupting the Republican party which
was begun by US.
In the two years past, we have
made an everlasting friendship with
hundreds Of people in this county,
and also few enemies. The latter
will be glad when we are gone, but
we have no retractions to make. In
all our writings we said nothing we
desire to recall.
We know that the determination
on our part to retire from the jour
nalistic field will be surprise to all,
and necessarily needs q word of ex-
PLANTATION For more than year
it has been our object to make the
ministry our life's work, but have
had no opportunity of disposing of
the ARGUS until now. We shall at
once make preparations to enter the
other field of labor, and hope to be
at active work in short time
within year at least.
Before laying aside our pen, we
must return thanks to our friends
VIM. j. Lavelle and the corps of
correspondents who have made the
ARGUS the success that it is. Mr..
L., by his editorial writings, has
made the paper so interesting that
it is in demand by all, and quoted
by the State press as much as any
other paper,
Those oweing US on subscription,
job work and advertising will please
remit to us at their earliest conve-
nience, as we desire to close up all
business at once. We collect all in :
debtedness up to date.
Again thanking our friends for
their kindness to us, and wishing
them the success in life that we hope
to win in our new calling, we bow
ourselves off the scene.
Respectfully,
j. ED. KILDow.

WHAT JIM SAID.

james G.. Blaine, of Maine, said
during the last campaign that there
were no trusts. IL trusts, however,
said Mr.. Blaine, could be treated
and sustained, they would be great
public blessings. They would
cheaper commodities and raise wa
ges. Mr.. Blaine has ceased to DENY
the existence of trusts for to-day
their dark shadows hang over our
fair land from ocean to ocean. They
have blighted business they rob us
OF our money by increased prices /;
they reduce wages, discharge work
men, and turn deaf ear to the
cries and entreaties of the starving
wives and children of wage earners.
They are the same kind Of blessings
that the thariff is-they bless the
few, but curse the many. The tariff
enables trusts to take prices into
their own hands and make them
what they please.
Why should we sell wool at 25
cents pound and purchase wooden
goods at 81 to SIS pound? Why
should we sell cattle at three to four
cents a pound, and pay $50 for a
moving machine that should cost
only $50? Why sell butter at six
to ten cents per pound and pay eight
to twelve and half cents for sugar?
Can't the farmer see that change
must come in these matters?
This we call taxation for private
purposes. -Phil,ppi Star.

SENATOR KENNA.

United States Senator John T..
Kenna, of West Virginia, is making
himself comfortable at the Hoffman
House. Mr.. Kenna has had re-
markable and romantic career, both
in public and private life. He was
born and reared in the Kanawha
Valley, in the western part of the
State which he now represents in
the upper house in Congress. In
the community in which he lived
there is, or was, during his early
life, deep-seated prejudice against
the 'poor white trash" Mr.. Ken
ma often felt the sting of this pref
udice, for his parents were poor
and he had a hard struggle for an
education. He finally won it, then
studied law and very soon made his
mark at the. bar. Ten years after
the war he led the young Democrat
lc element OF the kanawha Valley
in contest against the older faction
OF the party, and won. This made
him candidate for Congress, and
he was elected, and served in that
body until he was promoted to the
Senate when Henry G.. Davis volun-
tarily retired from that body. Mr..
Kenna was reelected for his second
term last winter, after a very bitter
fight, for one Labor representative
held the balance of power between
the two parties. This man finally
voted for Mr. Kehna, and gave the
young Senator six years more of
political power,-N. y. STIR.

wintered them over, which cost me
twelve dollars. have them out on
pasture now, which costs me one
dollar a month. They are now two
years old and I can't sell them for
twenty-five dollars. / wish you
would tell Dawson, Of the Journal,
that refused to sell them a year
ago because he told us we would get
good prices for our cattle when
Harrison was elected. The funny
part is that it was one Of the most
prominent Republicans in Preston
county that offered me the twenty
five dollars year ago. met him
the other day and asked what he
would give me for my steers now,
and he said, '1 don't want them at
any price," and the Republican
walked Oft muttering, Somebody
has lied about this Protection bust
ness"

NEWSPAPER CHANCES.

There has been a slight change in
the journalistic field,within the past
week. Brother Burke, Of the Times
has sold his interest in that paper to
Mr. Starkey, who will be associated
with Brother Dodge in the publica-
ton Of the Times. Mr.. Starkey is
said to be an able writer and clever
gentleman, and the ARGUS heartily
welcomes him to the fraternity.
Brother Burke has purchased Mr.
Gutherie's interest in the Era. he
is well known to the people Of Pres
ton county. He is a ready writer
and he and Brother White will no
doubt make the Era an interesting
and readable paper.

WE ARE in receipt of a letter from
our friend U. S. Davis, who is loca-

He says he is well pleased with his
locatian, and that he is surrounded
by Democrats. No wonder he is
contented and pleased with his loca-
ton, for to be surrounded by
Democrats" is paradise in itself.
Let us hope that the falling into the
hands of such good people will be
the means of converting him.

THERE is no uncertain tone about
the platform Of the Ohio Democracy,
but bold, fearless, steadfast adher-
ence to Democratic principles.
Those who expected or predicted
that the Democratic party would
take backward seat on tariff reform
will be compelled to change their
opinions on reading the following
incorporating declaration of
principle;
Frst-The Democracy of Ohio,
in convention assembled, approve
the declaration of principles made
by the National Democracy, in st.
Louis, in 1888, especially that part
Of it demanding reduction of tariff
taxes. We will continue this battle
for tariff reform until the cause of
the people is triumphant.
SecOmd-We regard trusts in
whatever form organized as the
legitimate result of our present tar
iff system, and we demand the re-
peal of all tariff taxes that enable
them to extort from the people ex-
orbitant prices for the products they
control.

it has no friends there. But when

in violation OF the Journals rules.
