If there is any one class of wealth
producers more at fault for the
present depressed condition than
another, it is the farmer; as no
other class has ever had so great a
majority of the national vote. Then
Mr.. Farmer, isn't it time to bestir
yourselves and use that majority to
secure legislation in your own inter-
est? So long as you are content
with picnics, resolves and where
asses; so long the other fellows are
content to take the profits of your
labor and nominate your lawmakers
for you while they joke over your
stupidity as you blindly vote your
self into bondage to the money
power. When you quit resolving
and get right down to solid legisla-
tive action, then the tide will turn,
and you may laugh while Monopoly
trembles, and Trusts and Combines
dissolve.

The Wheeling Register says: SIN
the person of JAS. Capehart, of Ma
son county, the Democrats of the
Fourth district have a gentleman,
who combines all the qualities of an
able, aggressive and winning candi-

representative of farmers interests.
He is a broad-minded, cultivated
gentleman, and popular with all

no trouble in rallying the old-time

1t is understood now in Republi-
can circles, that Hon. Jas. b. Mena-
ger, of this county, is to be the Re-
publican candidate for Congress in
the 4th District. We hope he may
get the nomination; but he viii not,
for the simple reason that when his
name is mentioned in convention,
he will get up and withdraw "for
the sake of harmony" as he did at
Charleston, whom he was candi-
date for Governor, in opposition to
Gen. Gof. He must quit withdraw
ing for "harmony," or he'll never
get anything.

Lincoln Citizen.
Elsewhere in the Citizen APP.
pears the formal announcement of
Hon. James capehart of Mason Co.
who is a candidate for Congress
before the Democratic nominating
convention of the Fourth District,
to be held at Point Pleasant, Aug.
20.
Mr.. Capehart being personally
known to but few of our readers in
Lincoln county, his candidacy de-
mands something more than for
NAL announcement at our hands.
First to consider, is he a representa-
tive Democrat, in good standing
with the party in his own county,
and is he capable man, and would
he enlist all the elements of party
strength and creditably and faithful
ly represent the district in Con-
gress? To all of these interrogato-
ries, without disparagcment to the
claims of others, we can on the We
ry highest authority, answer in the
affirmative He is man represent
ing the highest and purest type of
Democracy, has always been tow
er of strength to the party and en-
joys the confidence and esteem OF
all classes His party friends in
Mason are proud of an opportunity
of attesting MISREPRESENTATION of his
worth as man and Democrat and
he will go into the convention with
the undivided and enthusiastic sup
port of the entire Mason county
Democracy. Mr.. Capehart is man
highly endowed intellectually and
everywhere commands respect and
is admired for his splendid qualities,
liberal views, business enterprise
and social amcnity. Last, but not
least, he comes from that largely
representative, but much neglected
and oppressed class denominated
Farmers. He is not simply far
mer in theory or by polite imputa-
ton because he lives on farm, but
practical farmer, belonging to no
other class and his every interest.
sympathy and energy identified for
and with the tillers of the soil. In
evidence of the high esteem in
which he is held by the agricultural
element, he is at the head of the
Farmers Alliance in Mason county,
n non partisan organization in the
special interest of farmers, which is
and favorable influence for that OPP
destined to exercise widespread
pressed and tax burdened and tariff
ridden class. Mr.. Capeharp does
not come before the people allied to
any faction because he has never
been identified with any. He there
fore antagonizes no element of the
party but on the other hand strength
ems and cements it by his un-
obtrusiveness in the past and advo-
cacy of true Democratic principles.
His personal character is unim-
peachable, his honesty and integri-
ty unquestioned. Such a man, in
brief, is James Capeheart, of Mason.
We have thus honestly and faithful
" presented him to the people OF
Lincoln and in so doing we draw no
invidious comparisons nor reflect
by insinuations or otherwise on
other distinguished gentlemen who
are candidates for the place. The
Citizen is disposed treat all the can
didates fairly, openly and consider
ately before the convention, and to
support the nominee with all the
earnestness and strength of which
it is capable.

The farmer is the least com
planning member of the whole
body polite; he is the great pro-
Queer and a consumer as well; he is
the goose that is most plucked and
cries out the lie lst; he is like Jacobs
son, Issachar, "a strong ass crouch
ing down between two burdens
direct and greatest of all, indirect
burdens of taxation. Taxes placed
upon other classes may be shifted to
other shoulders, but once placed
upon the farmer, they never leave
him. While willing to do his share,
he is tired of carrying the greater
part of the burden; nor would he
have suffered thus long in silent
submission could he have seen and
realized the evils of indirect taxa
ton that covers him on all sides
through the means of a hig protec-
tive tariff. He is taxed on every
manu-. luz plOW Itt1 hc iOiioWSs
the machinery with which he har-
vests his grain; the steel rails over
which he carries his products to mar
ket; everything he buys with
which to conduct his bus
iness-on all these he has TO pay
high tribute to the God of Protection.
And all this that the few may be
favored and rings and combinations
may fatten off the good of the land.
The Republican press, in speak
ing about its ghostly prospect of
success, what they have done, and
what they are going to do, etc, re-
minds us of the man who invented
purpetual motion-he didn't invent
it, You know. He had every thing
ready-just ready to start, and all
he needed was one more wheel, and
he never found that wheel. Why,
they can't carry this county if the
Democrats will only work, much
less the State.
