Censorship Of the Press.

Under the lottery law framed by
Congress and the instructions given
by the Postmaster General to his
subordinates throughout the coun-
try, there is serious danger of en-
croachments on the liberty of the
press that should be rebuked and
opposed by the newspapers of the
country without regard to party
lines.
These postmasters are instructed
to act as censors and inspect all
second class matter, and whenever
the postmaster finds, what he con-
siders unlawful matter, or even sus-
poets that articles are of that char
acter, he is authorized to suppress
the publication and refuse it passage
through the mails.
This dangerous innovation is
claimed under the specious pretext
of suppressing lottery advertise
ments, and so far the public seems
TO acquiese without a protest against
this new assumption of power. If
this step meets with popular favor
then the next move will be to ex-
anime first-class matter, breaking
the seals of letters in search of con-
traband publications or writings.
If that be accomplished then we
will rapidly forget the louisiana
State Lottery in multitude of
grounds upon which these postmas-
ter can act as censors of press and
people - Lexington (Ky.) Press,

Now that the Mckinley bill has
become a law and the election is
over, the Republican leaders and
high protectionists do not deem it
necessary to keep up the absurd
talk about the establishment of tin
plate factories in this country. The
news comes from Pittsburg that the
prospect of manufacturing tin plate
in the United States has been aban-
doned and this is the end of the i'm
mense enterprises to be set on foot
in this country by increasing the
tariff on tin. The newspapers and
political speakers in the late cam
paign, not in league with the mo-
nopolists and high protectionists,
presented overwhelming proof that
it was impossible to manufacture
tin plate in this country, exposed
the bargain between the Republi-
cans in congress and the iron men
of Pennsylvania by which, in con-
sideration of money contributed by
the latter to the Republican cam.
paign fund, congress raised the tariff
on tin to force the people of this
country to buy sheet iron for roof
ing instead of tin plate. But our
opponents in the campaign could
not see-or pretended that they
could not see-the real object of the
increase of tariff on tin, and con
tinued to mislead the voters with
ridiculous talk about the immense
tin works to be established. The
abandonment of the tin enterprise
not only exposes the duplicity of
the Republican members of the
present congress, but convicts the
Republican orators and newspapers
that approved the levying of this
oppressive sax on tin, ola deliberate
effort to deceive the people for a
wicked purpose. The Republicans
who were loud in their advocacy of
the tariff on tin can now sit down
and think over what they have
done.-Kdnatohd Gazette.

Ringing Letter.


Weprint below a letter written
by Hon. John j. Davis, of Clarks-
burg, to the Wheeling Register, in
which Mr.. Davis has expressed his
mind in a clear manner on the re-
suits of the election:
CLARKsBURG, Nov. 8, 1890.
SIR:-Every lover of liberty and
every honest friend of constitutional
government has reasons to rejoice
over the result of the elections on
Tuesday last. 1t was most signifi-
cant triumph OF principles, the
discussion of which except by
Grover Cleveland and a few intre-
pid and courageous men like him,
has not been deemed, during the
past many years, the surest road to
popular favor and successful office
getting. 1t is the peoples and not
the politicians victory. They have
rebuked at the ballot box, the desper-
alto political leaders who have at
tempted to subvert the government
under the Constitution and to per-
vert its powers for the accomplish
ment of ends that defeat the object
for which all just governments are
Instituted. The brutal tyranny of
Reed; the robbery of the peopls APP
proved and sanctioned by projection
lists like Mckinley and those who
procured and favored the passage of
the tariff bill which bears his name;
the overthrow of the freedom of
elections threatened by the Lodge
Election, or Force bill, and the
wasteful extravaganza and expendi-
ture OF the public moneys have at
last aroused the slumbering spirit
of resistance in the people, and
stimulated them to active and sue
cessful opposition. The sound gos-
pei of tariff reform has made ma
terial progress, and it is cause for
congratulation that true democratic
doctrine of tariff for revenue, and
for revenue only, as the only legiti-
mate purpose for which the taxing
power ever can be constitutionally
exercised, has met with such popu-
lar approval and endorsement.
West Virginia, whom the greed mo-
nopolists had marked as their prev.
with the strength of young giant
has broken and shattered the ranks
of Protection under the broad
shield of American law" and de-
clared the "Tariff is q tax The
barriers are down and the angry
flood of public opinion is rolling on.
Let us no longer fear to advocate
boldly, but in the spirit of true
patriotism, the great essential doc
trines of liberty and true Democracy.
1t is as true now as when utterance
was given to the sentiment. "that a
frequent recurrence to first princi-
Piles is essential to the maintenance
of our liberties" To instruct the
people in the fundamental princi-
Piles of government and taxation is
the great work before us. To this
task the democracy should devote
itself with the courage inspired by
o conviction Of the Righteousness Of
our cause, and with an unfaltering
faith that in a rigid adherence to
principle lies our surest hope of per
manent success.

The recount of the votes in this
county for Circuit Clerk, shows that
the democratic scratcher was out
to an alarming extent on election
day, Every democrat that was de-
feated owes his defeat to the men
whom he had right to expect a
vote from, Some scratched because
"blood was thicker than. water
some because they thought they had
a grievance; others because they
got their price They have now
the . consolation, of knowing that
they helped their enemies into of

Excursion Tickets to Hot
SDrinRa. Ark.

The Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company has placed on sale at
all of its principal stations round
trip tickets to Hot Springs, Ark,
at greatly reduced rates. The GO
ing limit on these tickets is thirty
days and the returning limit three
months, thus affording an oppor-
tunity to spend the winter in the
genial climate of the Southwest.
The route is via Cincinnati and
st. Louis, with only one change of
cars, and that is made in Union De-
pot at st. Louis. Pullman Sleepers

An sEsaB'a4ss :ss;:... Thal won.

The Republicans can only explain
their9late -ignominions defeat by
charging it to Democratic misrepre-
tations about the tariff and McKin-
ley biiis And ins proof of this as
sertion they still have the audacity
TO deny that the Mckinley bill, or
protection. has increased the price
OF articles upon which it is laid, and
quote, as as a specimen misrepresen-
tation the alleged. increase of price
on tinlPlate upon which the inereas-
ed duty has not yet gone into effect.
Representative Bayne, of Pittsburg,
the father Of the tin plate schedule,
repeats this assertion as conclusive
proof that the Democrats are lying
or that some dealer is dishonesty
advancing prices .5ss1.f
Well, let us .see about it. The
factscannot be denied that tin plate
has increased in price from 81 80 10
81 per box so. that a box which be-
foresthe passage OF the bill cost s12,
now costs nearlysS14. Any timer
can prove this by actual trial SO
Now, to what shall we attribute
the advance if.not to the KeKinIey
bill? No other disturbing element
has been introduced into the mar
ket, and all of the dealers them
selves, including honest John Wan
amaker, says il is an effect of this
cause.-the truth is, that the ex-
Pected scarcity of supply in these
lines, makes. more valuable that
which the dealers have in stock,
and tits legitimate to ask for them
what they are worth in market.
For instance, wheat to-day is worth
but so cents, because the home mar.
ket is supplied and there is sur
plus and no expectation of of any
failure in future supply; But con-
vince our people that there will be
n veryfshort crop next year, and
evenithough the failure has not hap
pened, wheat will at once commence
advancing. Would farmers be dis
honest because of the advance. So
with tin plate and other articles,
both foreign and domestic, affected
by the Mckinley bill. The exelus-
ion of. foreign goods except at an
price, makes an artificial
scarcity of these lines of goods, de-
stroys competition, and the advance
in price is as certain as that the sun
will rise to morrow. That is the
whole story. 1t is not dishonest;
only the usual course of business.
This increase is no'surprise. The
manufacturers and trusts knew. it
would come. when they demanded
the enactment of the Mckinley bill.
The Democratic speakers in Con-
gress predicted it wonld follow.
And even Major Mckinley admitted
it when he tried to. convince the
people that 'tcheap things" were
"nasty thing" The surprise is in
the popular verdict against the
system of projection. which, leries
attribute upon the consumers and
pours it into the lap of the wealthy
manufacturers.

Itfie eAsy enough TO say dogmati-
calIy that incteased tariff duties do
not mean Increased prices to the
consumer, that the "ioreigner pays
the tax" and that local competition
ID. the homo market keeps tho
actual cost within reasonable limit.
But there is no argument SO po-
tent or convincing as the cold facts.
Some of the truths readily. deduced
may be summarized briefly.
The duty on anvils was increased
one-half cent a pound The price
has advanced about twice as much.
By the strongest insistence the
Senate conferrees compelled McKin-
ley to leave the window glass duty
as before, But the Administration
bill has enabled the Trust TO raise
prices four times and yet another
advance is anticipated.
The duty on raisins was increased
one. halt cent pound. The price
HHN f.I - - IL IH u
has advanced twelve cents on a
twenty pound box.
The duty on prunes was increas-
ed one cent a pound. The price of
the domestic article has advanced
four cents and of those imported
nearly as much
There was no duty on evaporated
apples under the old tariff. They
are now taxed two cents pound.
The price has advanced six and one
half cents a pound.
Canned peas were taxed 30 per
cent. under the old tariff. They
now pay 40 per cent. The price
has advanced four cents can.
A like increase was made in the
duty on Lima beans. The price
has advanced from five to eight
cents a can. ~
The duty on smoked beef was in
creased one cent a pound. The
price has adyanced nearly two cents.
Theiduty on hops was increased
seven cents a pound. The price
has advanced exactly that amount
THE tax on shotgnns was increas-
ed by the. imposition of a specific
duty of from "a TO Sc each. The
price has advancen So on all stand
ard grades. eusa .a
Ian additional specific duty of 10
centsia yard was placed on ging-
hams. The price has has advanced
so per cent. 5s,c. 4. ia
Under the old tariffthe ad valorem
duty on plush garments was 40 per
cent. Now it is 60. The retail
price has advanced from 81 to SO on
each. garment. Only one firm in
this country makes these goods. II
has promptly raised prices to job
bers, from 10 to 20 per cent. Linen
goods and velvets have gone mp, a
like amount. The Amoskeag Com
pany'also has raised the price of
prints one,fourth of cent yard.
That this Company needed further
"protection for its infant industry"
is clearly shown by the fact that it's
net profits last year were only s471,-
324. Next year they will be more.
u These are only few of the many
instances of cause and effect shown
by the tables of comparative duties
and prices. All are well worthy of
the consideration of every, citizen.
1t must also be remembered that
these changes have taken place in
less than one month since the Trust
tariff became a law. How great will
be the advances when year shall
have expired is a matter only of ap-
'prehensive conjecture World. IA
