Only One Issue.

Mr.. Mills has done the country a
service in his clear cut showing OF
the reasons why the question of sill
yer coinage is not and at present
cannot be party issue.
Neither party favors free coinage,
and neither opposes it. On that
question opinion is divided in both
parties.
For good DRILL, as Mr.. Mills shows,
we already have free coinage in eff
feet to the extent of s54, 100000 a
year, and no new law on the subject
could add more than s1O,OO0,OOO or
s12,OOO,OOO a year to that. The diff
ference is too small to be regarded
as factor of Importance in the dis
tress which has overtaken a large
part of the population.
The distress is due to quite anoth-
er cause, and, whatever one may
think with respect to silver coinage,
the present duty, the one thing of
overwhelming concern, is to remove
the cause of increasing poverty for
the farmer, reduced wages for the
workman and the rapid absorption
of the country's wealth into the
hands of a favored class by the
operation of unjust tax laws which
increase the cost of everything the
poor man buys and lower the price
of everything he sells.
That is the one party issue. The
battle of the people against mono
poly must be fought out to the finish
before party lines can be adjusted
to any question of less importance,
The reformation of unjust tax laws
is the one great concern, and for
that Democrats who, like Mr.. Mills
believe in free silver, and Demo
Gratis who oppose it, will work to-
gether till the iniquity is swept into
the limbo where the other kind Of
slavery lies buried.-N. Y. World

Changed Tune.

Last year the Mckinley stump
ers and newspapers declared that
they "despised cheapness." They
accepted the Presidents pet phrase
that ga cheap coat means a cheap
man." They proclaimed that tax
sustained dearness was necessary to
the payment of high wages to
American workmen.
And the American people sat
down on them with the weight OF
over 100000 majority.
This year, with Mckinley him.
self at their head, they have chang
ed their tune. They point to cheap
sugar-made cheap by taking of
the tarifftax-as their great achieve
ment. And they parade carefully
selected list of other articles which
they claim are cheaper than form
erly.
If taxes cheaper articles, why
did they stop at 60 per cent?
Why not make a tariff of 100 per
cent. or higher? Do they expect the
American voter to believe that,
while untaxing sugar has made it
cheaper, taxing still higher clothing,
food, fuel glass, crockery and other
necessaries has likewise made them
cheaper.
The American voter is not such a
fool as the McKinleyites take him
to be.
lin any case of increased duty
the price of the article has not ad-
vanced, then the law has failed OF
its purpose. If the object of protec-
ton be not to compel importers and
TO enable home manufacturers to
charge higher price than they
would without it, then it has no OBJ
ject.
The "worse-than-wa tariff must
go.-N. Y World.

The Duty of Young Men.

Never before in the history of the
county has there been the same
necessity for the young men to come
to the front.
The stern reaper has been busy
in recent years, and the ripened
sheaves have been garnered, leaving
to the full corn in the ear, and to
the thrifty shoots of the parent vine
the responsibilities and opportuni-
ties of life. This is true in the So
cial life of Mason county. 1t is true
in the business world of West
Virginia. 1t is pre-eminently true
in political affairs.
To the young men we must look,
not only for the courage, vim and
energy to right wrongs, but for the
full appreciation of the new ideas
and methods
1t is to the young men of Penn
sylvania that Matt. Quay owes his
rebuffs and defeat.
1t is to the young men of Phila,
delphia that Bardsley and his pals
are indebted for prison cells.
1t is to the young men of Ohio
that Campbell owes his election, and
to those of Massachusetts, Governor
Russell attributes his success.

The newspapers that are selling
their editorial columns in condem-
nation of what they term the ''retail
drug swindle" are perpetrating a
greater fraud on their readers than
any retail druggist perpetrates upon
customer.
We have found the retail druggist
to be just as honorable and upright
and honest as any of the patent
medicine men, or as any other
class of citizens.
This thing of attacking a whole
element of society because a bad
man slips in now and then APP
proaches closely to the offensive.
1t that were rule worth living up
to it would be in order to abuse all
the Apostles because Peter BETRAYED
Christ. 1t would be just as reason
able and equally as UNSUITABLE to
assault the integrity of every
preacher because bad man some
times wears the cloth.
If these newspapers know of any
retail druggist engaged in the bust
ness of substituting an impure or
worthless preparation of his own in
place of an advertised patent medi-
cine of merit let them name the of
fender, and not sneak behind gen
eral characterization of them all as
frauds. 1t seems to us that there is
more Hypocrisy and fraud in these
newspapers than among the drug
gist.-PdrkerSburg Sentinel.

The Republicans are sending
campaign specimens of tin-plate
around, accompanied by the state
ment that it was made by Major
Mckinley personally. The Major
certainly is not skilled workman.
If he without any previous expert
ence can make tin-plate, why should
the alleged manufacturers of tin
plate wish to import skilled work
men from abroad to do this work.
There is nothing but humbuggery
in this tin-plate question, view it
from any standpoint you please, and
the American users of tin in its
various forms are to-day paying out
a great deal more money on account
of the increase in the price of tin
plate made necessary by tho Nc
Kinley tariff, than will be necessary
to pay the wages of all the Ameri-
can labor that will be employed in
the tin-plate industry for FIVE years
to come. oh, fraudl One of the
most seductive aliases is protective

DAN'L b. LUCAS.

In a speech to the farmers Major
Mckinley uttered the following
powerful truth: "The farmer is
getting little more for his products
to-day than he did two seasons ago,
and he has not bought his manu-
featured goods so cheap for the last
thirty years as at present. Wheel
ing IntelIigencer.
The Parkersburg Sentinel replies
in the following truthful manner:
"What single article of the farmers
products are bringing "a little
more this year? Does the Major re-
fer to the wool product?
If any of our readers think Nc
Kinley was telling the truth let
them inquire of an honest merchant
whether or not all kinds of wooden
goods and tinware have not ad-
vanced in price. The ladies who do
the shopping know we'll enough
that dry goods are no cheaper, but
the most of them are higher"

The platform of the Democratic
State convention held at Spokane
Falls, in the State of Washington,
denounces the "Billion- Dollar Con-
gress" and the Mckinley tariff bill;
declares in favor of a tariff for reve-
nue. and for free coinage of Ameri-
can silver on a parity with gold,
and demanding that it be made a
legal tender for all debts, public or
private.

Gov. Campbell is proving him
self to be one of the best stump
speakers in the whole country. In
quickness of repartee, in wit and
bumor, in capacity for seizing up
on the salient points of the issue
under discussion and to put himself
in touch with his hearers he is SUI
perior to Mckinley. In meeting
Mr.. Horr's claim that the increase
of duty on certain farming imple-
ments had made them cheaper, Gov.
Campbell asked the farmers, "Well,
now, how high would the tariff have
to be for you to get your tools free?"
To the half-veiled claim of McKin-
ley that "the foreigner pays the
duty" the rctort is equally pertinent:
"Why not abolish the internal rove
nue. and make the foreigner pay all
the expenses of government? Why
stop at a Billion Dollars in appro-
priations if the foreigner pays?"
The argument and the facts are with
the Democrats, and Governor
Campbell is making the most of
them.

The effect of Mills speeches is SO
positive, and his arguments are so
unanswerable, that the Mckinley
ties of Ohio are trying to devise
some scheme to keep the Republi-
cans from listening TO him. At first
they ridiculed his mannerisms and
republicans went to hear and see him
out of curiosity, and the impression
made by his talk was so decided,
and the effect so apparent that now
all the skill of the party is at work
to keep Republican voters out of
his audience. It's the truth that is
hurting our friend the enemy over
in Ohio this year.

United States senatorship.


Judge Lucas has written letter
to the Charlestown ADVOCATE DENY.
ing that he has authorized anyone
to say that he is candidate for the
United States Senate to succeed
Senator Faulkner.
In very forcible and characteris-

about his position in that connec-
ton. His letter reads as follows:
RIoN HALL, Sept. IA, 1891.
My Dear MoTTo,C:-I thank Won
for calling my attention to certain
paragraphs in your exchanges re-
garding myself, which seem to have
been inspired by some common and
preconcerted counsel.
The fact that 1 was absent from
the country when the first publica-
ton concerning my intentions was
'sauthoritively" made, is a sufficient
answer TO the charge for me.
In further refutation of such a
charge l would say that since /
assumed the duties of the high trust
conferred upon me by my fellow
citizens, l have with scrupulous,
almost sacred care refrained from
taking any part in political discuss
ions or party organizations. shall
continue to pursue this course even
unto the end, and after serving
providence permitting the fulltcrm
for which l was elected, / will endeav-
or to return to my constituency
the judicial ermine as white and
spotless as when 1 first received it
from the shoulders of my lamented
predecessor, the late Judge Green.
Very truly yours,
DAN'L B. LUCAS.

The Wet<eI Democrat says truth
fully: Nothing is more disgusting
to men of sense than the reports of
the tariff cranks who have recently
visited Europe. They report great
distress among the foreign manu-
facturers on account of the McKin-
ley bill. AS this abominable meas
ure has only been in operation u
few months, it hasn't had chance
yet to get the work of ruin in oper-
alton at home, much less abroad,
and as yet foreign manufacturers
are unaffected by it. Then again,
we hear that these foreigners all
declare that if they were in Ameri-
ca they would all be protectionists.
All of which, if true, goes to prove,
if it proves anything, that this for
eign distress business is a fake, and
that these foreigners only want to
encourage the Americans to keep on
making the damphools of them
selves that they are.
