The Petersburg appeal, Demo
cratic paper, IN an editorial of its issue OF
September 3rd says;
''Our readers will understand how much
reliance is to be placed on what the SEN
sational press says when they are told
that yesterday the secretary OF the United
States treasury redeemed outstanding a.
per cent. bonds, rather than extend them
at the low rate of per cent a few
weeks ago the sensational newspapers OF
the country DANGEROUSLY and insistantly |
declared that the United States treasury |
was on the verge of bankruptcy. The
fact is there is gold enough in the treas
ury now to redeem the entire $50 900 900
of AZ per cents, the S100,000,000 of legal
tender notes, and still leave Sl2,000,OO0 on
hand.

An old saw has 1t that What is one
mans meat is another mans poison" and
that is just what is the matter with the
protective tariff. Protection of home in
dustres is an excellent thing for the
United States, though it may work dis
advantageously to foreign interests. That
this is true has been shown quite recent |
" by the statements and comments OF
English and German papers. Their plant
Is that the present effect of the Mckinley |
law, whatever may be the outcome of the |
future, is to depress the manufacturing |
industries of those countries, which prior |
to the passage OF the law found a profit |
able market in the United States. AL |
these papers express the belief that soon
er or later the Mckinley tariff will be !
either entirely abolished or so materially |
modified as to restore to the suffering |
foreign industries much of the American |
trade which they have DOW lost. With |
them the wish no doubt is father to the
thought.
So far as the people Of the United |
States are concerned the tariff issue is a
very simple one. 1t resolves itself into
this: Shall we keep our money at home
or shall we send it to Europe' Probably |
as convincing a reply as can be made to
this question is contained in statement
made BY Mr. c. &. Shayne in the course
of a speech recently delivered at Pomeroy,
Ohio. This Is the way be placed it before
his audience:
aft capitalist we're to come to Pome-
roy to invest a million dollars, and would |
leave it to the citizens of this town
whether he would locate here or in West |
Virginia. how wo1ld you vote on that |
question: Would you not vote to have |
him invest bis capital in PomerOy7 You
surely would, because you know by the
investment of that money labor would
find employment, and the money would
remain here. Now if You were called up
on to vote whether that same manufactur-
ing establishment were to be located IN
Ohio or Virginia. how would you vote
You would vote to have it located 10 Ohio.
Now when you are called upon to cast
your vote whether you desire the capital
invested in this country, to build manu-
featuring establishments and give en-
ployment to labor. or to send Your gold
to Europe to buy what they manufacture
there, how Will you vote? That is the
question, aud that is all that there Is OF
the whole issue. 1t is struggle fer COM
