A WET GAME.-The contest be-
tween the Seattle league team and
the Salems was dampened by
showers and the life was nearly all
taken out of the game. The Salems
were in fine trim for great game
and led until the seventh inning.
The final score stood 4 to 6 for Seat
ties. Lavan showed himselfa great
player in the field and at the bat
and has won his way from the foot
of the batting list to place near
the top. 10 Leveque has so far re
covered as soon te be able to take
his position when with Stanley they
will be an invincible pair. Mr..
George as pitcher displayed increas-
ing powers of delivery.

The Fruit Palace.


The building is completed and
fruit is being gathered as rapidly as
possible and decorations will begin
today. There is great necessity for
more liberal contributions of fruit on
all sides.
G. w. Hunt, of Whiteaker writes

Owing to family afflictions I can

"Let me say in conclusion, until

Free Raw Material.

Kanawha Gazette: The news
comes from Massachusetts that on
the goth inst. the -Eusthis
Rolling Mills, of Cambridgeport,
the largest establishment of the kind
in Massachusetts, went permanently
out OF business. The proprietors
give as the sole reason for this de-
termination the fact that under the
present tariff law, which taxes raw
materials, they cannot afford to buy
these materials to operate with, and
that it is no longer profitable to
carry on the business. The iron
working industries are failing in
New England because the McKin-
ley law forbids them necessary ma
terials. They are shut out of the
markets and the mon employed in
these industries find their occupa-
ton gone and will have to seek
some other way to make a living.
Gov. Russell was denounced by the
Republicans for calling attention,
during the recent political canvass,
to the decline of the iron and other
industries on account of the taxing of
raw materials. 1t was charged that
he was misrepresenting the true
condition of the industries in his
State for political effect. 1t is now
seen that he was right in his state
ments regarding the true situation
there. New England is fast becom-
ing converted to the policy of tariff
reduction. This is a fact that is
generally recognized by the Har-
rison administration and if some
thing is not done for the Ianguish-
ing industries in Massachusetts,
there will not be found many votes
in that State next year for a high
tariff candidate. The Boston Herald
says:
"The Home Market Club is to be
congratulated on one thing. Its
spokesman have at last been able to
recognize the fact that tariff reform
has been gaining ground in Now
England. President Draper pro-
fesses to be unable TO account for it,
10 recognize it, acknowledges it, and
publicly laments it. The ostrich
policy hitherto pursued by the high
tariff brethren appears to have been
abandoned

Significant Figures.

The true way to discuss the tariff
question is on the ground that no
nation has the natural right,-and
therefore no rights at ALTO tax
one portion of its people for the
benefit of another. The constitu-
ton of the United States and the
principles upon which this govern
ment are founded certainly exclude
the idea or pretension that this
government has any such right and
it is therefore not a question of tariff
schedules or figures. Figures are
useful sometimes, however, to dem
onstrate the main fact, and there is
not as wide a difference between
theory and fact as some would have
US believe. Take, for instance, the
report of the manufactures OF Mass
achusetts for 1891 and it shows that
10000 persons employed in the cot
ton factories of that State receives
wages of less than FIVE dollars
week. But says the Cincinnati
Post: "The United States census
shows that the State has increased
its wealth during 10 years $3.50,
100000, and the additional fact that
farms have been abandoned as I'M
profitable to an alarming extent.
The census also shows that the in
crease in the assessed value of prop
erty of the States of Illinois, Iowa,
Indiana, Wisconsin and Ohio
amount to 1891 100000, but a few
millions more than that of Massa-
chusetts alone. AS the vast accu-
INFLATED wealth of Massachusetts,
has not gone into the hands of either
the farmer or artisan, who has it
and how they got it should be cx-
planned"

distribution of wealth in this free
and happy land, is supposed to be
very comforting to the fellow who
is grubbing for his daily bread. Let
us have less talk of the per capita
wealth of the country as an argu-
ment for legislation for the benefit
of millionaires, corporations and
monopolies.
The fact is the great increase of
wealth in a few hands, accompanied
with the great increase of the very
poor, is one of the dangers that
threatens the land. A sage phiIos-
opher once observed there is only
one thing more selfish, grinding and
avaricious than a million of dollars,
and that is two millions of dollars.
The rich are growing richer, while
the poor are increasing in greater
proportion than the great middle
class. The plan of per capita aver
age IS the very worst sort of sedative
to administer to the strained nerves
of the great army of poverty-striclS-
en- and want enduring people. The
campaign of education has shown
this army where the trouble lies,
and the issue is before them. The
plntocrats can't escape it by lodging
behind any per capita estimates OF
the Census Department.
This estimate won't put bread in
hungry mouths, nor will it offset
the increased cost of'the nccessaries
of life, resultant from the last act Of
protection for the lucky $4,000 who
already possess the fairness of the
land.

4 DAsrARD,s DEED.



PARKERsBUR0, W. VA, Nov. Is
This city is worked up over most
brazen, brutal and bold attempt at
rape which occurred last night. Mrs.
Annie Marquis, a young widow lady,
was assaulted by man whom she
took TO be a negro at $50 in the
evening on Sand Road less than ten
feet beyond the corporation line and
on one -of the most travelled high
ways while she was going home.
Without a word he seized her and
covered her mouth with his hands
and made desperate threats If she
screamed. She fell down and fought
and screamed with the strength of
desperation. Another woman APP
peared in the midst of the struggle
and the negro at the sight of her
released his hold on the now pres
trate woman, jumped the fence aud
escaped.
Mrs. Marquis was taken home in
a terrible condition. Her clothes
were torn, her face and hands were
covered with mud and were badly
scratched, and she was almost com
pletely Frustrated with the nervous
shock.
That such dastardIy deed would
be attempted ut such an hour and
such a place passes belief Robert
Hall, a negro who lives in the.
neighborhood was arrested this
morning on suspicion, but he will
probably be freed tomorrow sus-
picion now rests on a white man.
If the right man is found, it will go
hard with him whether he is white
or black.

Apply the per capita principle and
you give $500 a piece to each of the
million and a half of New York's
population. Our western neighbor,
Pittsburg, boasts OF 100 millionaires,
one of whom records his millions
thrice in blocks of 10, and the aggrc-
gate of the 100, touches $500, OOO, 900.
The per capita plan applied that
would do away with the cutlery of
the poor for bread.
The Times does not favor any for
chile readjustment on the per capita
plan-although a reversal of the
legislation and under which the rich
are growing richer, poor growing
poorer, would seem within the pro-
vince of the laws of compensation.
We refer to these figures because
they point lesson vitality concern
ing every citizen in the great mid
die class and touch as with icy fin
gers the vast army of the very poor
and unemployed.
They do more. They show the
falsity of this per capita argument
which is used as the cap sheaf for
half the speeches one hears glorify-
ing our fiscal, revenue and corpora
ton policies, which are the out
growth of Republican administra-
tions and a practical illustration of
its cardinal principle of action-ex-
cluded, however, from the platforms
that if the government takes care
of the rich the rich will take care of
the poor.

the subject after the manner of the
protection diagrams so much in
vogue of late;

The Rich and the Poor.

egie Protective Tariff League pub
fishes the following, which is a fair
sample Gifts average argument:
In England the average sum due
each deposition in the Savings Bank
Department is............... 49,. S6S IL
The average sum due depositors
in savings banks in the United
States was in 1S90..............S3 1858 OF
The former represents the savings
possible under free trade; the second,
what can be saved under protection.
Which will you take, workingmen?
Now these figures can only mean
that the number of male depositors
in proportion to the number of de-
posts is far greater in England than
in the United States. For averages
are made by adding together the
sums deposited and dividing by the
number of depositors to get the
average deposit for each. Thus, If,
Mr.. Carnegie deposits 100000 and
four of his workmen deposit 500
each, the amount on deposit viii be
$500, 400 and the number of deposits
five. Dividing the $500, 400 by 5
gives slOO,OsO as the average for
each depositor. Or if Mr.. Carnegie
deposits 100000 and one of his
workmen 500, their average de-
posits is 5C,O5O. And the work
man is thereupon invited by Mr..
Carnegie's organ to say whether he
would not rather have such an aver
age deposit as this than a petty free
trade average deposit of s6e IL?
When 100 men deposit 500 each,
80 men 5000 and 80 men $50 each,
the total deposit is SIT 800, the total
number of depositers 200, which
gives an average of ss7 90 to each
deposition contemplate sum, tru-
ly, compared with the average of
the man who averages his deposit
with Carnegie or some other million
aire with a protected trust behind
him, but when by long division the
Protectionists get the average
wealth of hundred of their hun
dred millionaires and of a million of
their dollar day men, they stop
the long division at the average. 1t
never gets farther than that. What
ever other division, there is the very
short division of strikes, lockouts
and Pinkerton shooting down of
wages.
As yUu-go deeper into the subject
the duplicity of the Carnegie organ
becomes more apparent. Here is
list of ten of New York's richest
men. With the exception of the
Astors, this immense wealth has
been acquired by skillful manipnla-
ton of the great powers granted
corporations by the general govern
ment.

settle, and of course following the

Republican will be unseated every
