it increases the cost of some articles people
will simply use less of them Take wool,
for instance. If the tariff on wool makes
clothing cost more a person will get along
with one suit where he would otherwise have
two"-Jay Gould
Well, the Mckinley millennium is at hand.
The tariff has been revised by its friends,
and it wouldn't know itself from Chinese
wall. Everybody must pay more for every
thing, and so everybody is going to be bet
ter off. Ehe farmer must pay more for the
necessities of life; so, OF course, he is going
to pay his hands more-for they, also, have
10 pay more for the necessities Of life. The
artisan, the mechanic, the shopkeeper must
all pay more for what they buy. OF course
they will restore the natural balance OF
things by paying their employees better. Il
is perfectly simple, isn't it?-Puck.

Governor I'm in vest Vfrgtnta.

Gov. Hill went from Wheeling along the
line of the B. & o. on Saturday like me-
teor. He spoke at Wheeling on Friday
night, as did Senator Kenna, and Governor
Fleming, and the Democracy was aroused to
the highest pitch of enthusiasm and expec-
tation. Saturday morning at an early hour
the party took the cars, and made frequent
stops to speak to the multitudes gathered at
the stations. The schedule was interrupted
by a collision of trains at Moundsville. The
distinguished party was shaken up but not
injured, but we cannot approximate even,
the damage sustained by the Republican
party 1t was midnight when the party
reached Martinsburg, where q good crowd
was in waiting. The lateness of the hour,
consequent ofthe railroadaccident, precluded
the propriety Of speech-making g Iarper's
Ferry.
The Sun reporter says: Gov. Hill speaks
in a moderate voice, pleasantly and cordi-
ally, not enthusiastically or efusiyely. He
is not eloquent. Senator Kenna in two
minutes yesterday put more warmth in his
speeches and elected more response than the
Governor did in ten minutes. There was
nothing original or brilliant in GOV. Hills
speeches, only plain statements of good
Democratic principles, sandwiehed OCCASION
ally with apt illustrations. But Governor
Hill is a remarkable man"

The above looks as if the Mckinley bill,
which advances the price of every necessity
extended to the p. O.
We do not know the p. O. law on the
subject, but if the Wheeling p. o. official
was right, then every newspaper publisher
in the State has exceeded his privilege and,
we take it, every postmaster in the State has
been. more or less, delinquent in his duty.
