DON'T RUSH INTO PRINT.

The Clarksburg Telegram very
truly says that in this age of the
world people are not interested in
personal differences Of opinion OF
" fuses" of any kind, and refuses
to print that kind of communlca-
tons. The very fact that in public
discussions in the newspapers, from
those of the very highest to the very
lowest sources, personal refec.
tons, sarcasm and criticism, are
the first and final resort. shows that
selfishness and egotism are at the
bottom, and truth and the public
good only secondary considerations.
1t is a mistaken idea many people
have that they gain anything by
rushing their personal questions
into print. 1t improves no mans
standing in the community. The
people look at it as they do at a dog
fight. 1t makes no difference to
them which one gets the worst drub
bling.
There are occasions when a man
is justified in making a PLAIN state
ment Of defence in the newspaper,
that doue, leave the rest to time
and public intelligence.

FARMERS AND THE ROADS.

Now that the farmers have secured
one of the finest wheat crops they
have ever cut, and now that they
have little time which they can call
their own will it not be possible To
get them to take a little interest III
the road question ; or are We conteb.
to jolt along in the same old ruts W.
have known for twenty years Hati
the election taken place last winter
when we We're all stuck III the mud.
no one doubts how it would have
gone; but now that we are able IL
jolt along we forget the mud.
But it will come again, then if We
miss this chance we will feel like
kicking ourselves because we have
missed our chance. How many far
mers last spring were thrown behind
with their work because they were
unable to get their grain to market at
the proper time, and were compelled
to deliver their crops when they
ought to have been blowing.
How many farmers have TO keep
two or three extra work horses on
account of the roads. The question
of good and bad roads is one which
interests all classes,-the resident of
the city and county. The merchant
knows that when the farmers fail to
come to town business is dull. pro-
visions are scarce and a general stagna-
ton prevails. Good roads are a sure
indication of the people who live
along them.
Will not the Bond System give us
better roads at less money; our pres
ent System costs us about ten thous-
and dollars each year and the roads
stay bad. 100000 can be borrowed
for $4,000 interest, put the roads in
good condition, abolish the County
Levy, toll the roads and make them
Self.Sustaining. Some means will
have to be devised 10 give each part
Of the county their just share of the
improvement. $500 to the mile will
put 200 miles of our roads in good
condition. The road beds are gener-
ally solid, all we need is the fine stone
to make them smooth. Can we not
have public meeting of all those
both in town and the county who are
in favor of good roads and a better
system. Now who will move in
this matter. Let the Alliance and
Grange talk it over and let US have
good roads. SUBSCRIBER.

PROTECTION AND PROSPERITY.

grist of everything that can be
dragged into the free trade hopper,
the workers for that policy are now
pointing to the phenomenal growth
OF cities aud villages disclosed by
the late census as proof of their
allegation that one section of the
country is necessarily built up at the
expense of another. And because
under the aegis of a discriminating
tariff we have been enabled to found
and maintain innumerable centers
of industry in this country instead
OF supporting those established
abroad. Protection is pointed at as
evil to be denounced wherever
performer can find hearers, aud
voted ont of existence 10 accordance
with the desire of traders whose
palms itch after profits TO be realized
from the sale of foreign goods to
American consumers. 10 this conten-
ton the free trade attorneys seek
to steal the livery of Protection in
which 10 parade their alien bantling
of tariff reform. Every hive of indus
try that raises its pillar of cloud
by day and fire by night stands a
monument to the wisdom OF those
tariff measures inaugurated by the
founders of the republic, and with
out which we would even yet be
buying clothing and machinery from
Europe, and paying for them in such
farm products as foreigners prefer
ed to accept at their own prices.
1t was the avowed object Of Pro
lection to extend manufacture in the
United States-not only to make GER
tain the desired relief from depend.
ence upon outside nations for the
necessarles OF life, but to insure con-
tinued domestic prosperity by giving
to farmers a certain and profitable
market through the employment Of
the largest possible percentage of
workers in other than agricultural
pursuits.
1t is the people thus employed who
have so amazingly increased the
populations of cities and villages,
and to the extent that by reason of a
diversity of industries the workers
thus congregated are enabled to
earn fair wages and become liberal
buyers, to that extent does their in
crease in nun bers become benefit
to every farmer who has surplus to
sell. Every workman thus employ.
ed in the United States is ten times
the better consumer of American
farm products than any man similar
employed in Europe. This is because
the foreigner only buys here what
he cannot get cheaper somewhere
else and bis interest and aim is to
get payment for this easier than
now by keeping his money at home
and compelling us to allow him a
profit on wares that be makes for
sale.
Here is to be found the inspira.
ton of opposition to our policy of
fostering home industries. And if
the issue is ever decided III accor.
dance with foreign dictatlon and the
efforts OF such citizens as have un.
dertaken to bring public sentiment
In the line Herewith, the inevitable
decadence Of our national prosperity
will fall upon no interest more disas
trOuSly than that of the farmer. He
will then be forced to see, if he can,
