TO compromise with tho employers,
however, by expressing Themselves as
willing to agree 70 giyo notice in Feb.
ruary Of each year of tHeir Intention,
should they have any, to demand an
increase Of wages. This Is a concession
Of three.fourths Of tho time in dispute,
but the quarry owners have rejected tho
proposition and havo thereby weakened
their position.
Tho atriko has been disastrous to
many interests, including quarry
owIors, projectors Of buildings, or those
in curse Of erection, contractors, ship.
pcrs, quarrymon, masons and olhcr
workmcn belonging to tho building
trades. Tho OWL effects arc not confined
to New England, but arc far.rcaclling.
Evon horc in Wheeling important
building operations have been delayed
on account Of It.
It seems that tho differences between
tho two parties to the strike arc not SO
great that thcy cannot be settled by
arbitration. Since there is no question
Of wages involved, there Is ground for
hope that m agreement will be reached
at no distant day.

slR:-Two years ago the name oil
Charles NJ. Shinn, OF Marion county,
was proposed, through your columns,
for the nomination for Congress. The
proposition was made by Jefferson
county Republicans. Mr.. Shinn de.
clined to allow his name to 90 before
the convention, although he was as.
sured Of the support OF the entire Re.
publican party OF Jefferson and Berke.
ley counties, for he is very popular with
all parties in the above counties.
Again We invite him to allow his
name to be presented to the Second dis.
trict Republican convention soon to DO
held. No more influential or more &C.
tive man than Mr.. Shinn will ever rep.
resent our district in Congress. West
Nircinians who visit Washington on
business are we'll aware of his willing.
ness to render them all service in his
power. and, in consequence, he is kept
busy doing acts Of kindness, for which
he will be remembered on election day,
if he should receive and accept a nomi.

whero West yirrIuio stnnu.


In tho New York Hcrald's review OF
the Republican situation, the following
telegram from West Virginia's four
delcSates.at.large to tho Minneapolis
convention appears:
WHEELING, ". Va, May Is, 1880 far as

r~AR6EAsDuNG. ". Va, May Is. lSoa.-Tkc
delegation Is for Harrison, blaine being out OF
TIE Held; Tor restricted coinage and tho Nc.
kinlcy tarif. JOHN 4. HUTCHINSON.
These statements correctly represent
not only the sentiments OF the entire
West Virginia delegation, bu. OF the
party generally in the state. There nre
possibly Republicans in West Virginia,
as elsewhere, who are opposed to Pres
ident Harrison's denomination, but the
conventions that have been held we're
composed OF representative men who
reflected tho sentiment Of the great
majority, who believed that with Mr..
Blaine out Of tho field President Harri-
son was the logical candidate.
However this may be, there Is no
question that the delegates above quoted
correctly represent the sentiment of the
entire party in the state on the tariff
and silver issues. West Virginia Re-
publicans are more firmly convinced
than e that upon the maintenance Of
the Republican protective tariff and
financial policies depend the tuturein-
dustrial development and growth of the
state. Under these policies the great
work OF development now in progress
has been possible, and they are not pre-
pared to risk the results that would
ensuo by the adoption Of Democratic
free trade theories.
No state in the Union is more directly
interested in this question; no people
would feel the, disastrous effects of a
repeal OF tho tariff more kecnly than
West Virginia. The people OF the state,
regardless OF party, are having their
eyes opened to this fact daily, and the
doctrine Of protection is gaining ground
constantly.
A state on whose protected industries
rests her future welfare is n poor mis-
%sionary field for free trade theorists.
The gradual cutting down OF the Demo
cratic majority until now there is moth
ing left OF it proves this, and the result
next November will demonstrate it be.
yond a doubt.

The Great Granite Strike.

We are surprised to see the efforts OF
come Democratic newspapers to at
tribute the great granite lockout and
strike in New England, which has TEN.
porarily thrown out OF en- ploymeut so
many thousand men and seriously re-
tardcd building operations throughout
the country, to "the workings OF the
Mckinley bill" This action OF the
desperate free trade editors is either an
exhibition Of tho densest ignorance or
it is a striking example OF the dishonest
methods that are being resortcd 10 to
misreprescnt the tariff and prey upon
the minds oil ignorant voters.
The fact oil the matter is, tho thrift
has not tho rcmotcst connection with
the granite strike. Tho trouble be.
tween tho workmen md tho employers
is not n OF wages or hours Of work.
There is no demand for an increase Of
wages and no attempt at reduction.
The solo cause OF tho strike or lock.
out is tho refusal OF the workmen to
consent to have all agreements between
employer and cmploye date each year
from the first Of January, instead OF
from tho first Of May, as has been the
custom.
The demand OF tho manufacturers Is
based oil excellent reasons. The GIN.
ployers claim that the agreement asked
for Ia necessary to tho proper conduct
Of their business, because most OF their
yearly contracts arc mado in January,
and that is the time, therefore, that
They should know the basis OF wages for
the year. II is essential that they
should know this to intelligently figure
on contracts.
1t il only just to state the reasons The
workmcn :iyo for contending for the
May agreement. They say that the
first OF tho year IL generally a season Of
trade inactivity and thntthereioro Jan.
