Senator Faulkner said, in recent inter-
view concerning Democratic prospects in
West Virginia 81 have been in eleven
counties and have never, even in the last
days Of a campaign, addressed larger or
more enthusiastic audiences. The burdens
of federal taxation, the financial policy of
the Republican party, and the iniquitous
force bill have aroused the people in man.
ner have ne-er witnessed before. West
Virginia in my judgment, is not doubtful
State with proper effort and thorough or
ganization. The nomination of third
party ticket was made at Parkersburg by a
few self-appointed gentlemen. Not lead
er of any of the great agricultural or labor
organizations was there, or if there they
were not in representative capacity. In
one or two counties there is yet some trouble
on local tickets, but the threat of the Re-
publican party to put bayonet behind
every ballot will in my judgment unite
even that disaffected element before the
campaign has proceeded far"

T,celre Days at the Seashore.

The Third Popular Excursion via the
Baltimore and Ohio r. r. to Atlantic City
from Lexington and all intermediate sta
tons to Washington Junction, Nd, is an
nounced for Thursday, August llth. Those
who have not availed themselves of the su-
perior train service and low rates offered
for trip to the seashore, shonld not neg
lect this opportunity. \ large degree of
pleasure is obtained in these jaunts TO the
seaside over the Baltimore and Ohio by
views of the country Ell route, than which
there is none in America more picturesque
or richer in historical interest.
Tickets will be valid for return journey
for twelve days from day of sale, also to
stop over in Philadelphia during night of
August llth, and will be good on all regu-
lar trains. On return journey they will be
good to stop off at Washington, thus afford
ing an opportunity to visit the numerous
public buildings, which are open to visitors
free of charge, and to take a trip down the
Potomac to Mt. Vernon, the tomb of Wash
ington, as we'll as to visit other places OF
interest in and near Washington.

Wenycr,s Denunciatfon of the South.

Gen Weaver, the nominee of the third
party for the presidency, can scarcely ex-
pect to get many votes from Southern white
men. He has been no friend of that Sec
tion. The following are some extracts from
one of hi. speeches made some years ago !;
81 want to congratulate you first my fell
low-citizens, on the suppression of purely
Democratic rebellion, gotten up by Demo-
Gratis for the Democratic purpose of dlssev-
ering the Union and perpetually establish
ing human slavery. Now and forever it is
established "a an eternal truth that the
Democracy in no place or State can ever be
trusted with government. As a party IT
should disband just as a section of 1t did at
Appomattox. Here we have the old fight
over again-the Confederate Democracy,
North and South, in which the infamous
copperhead division of Iowa appears What
is the use of further arraigning the defunct
Democracy, with all its hoary crimes, at the
bar of public opinion? We know that its
acts comprise murder treason, theft, arson,
fraud, perjury and all crimes possible for an
organization to connive at 1t would be a
mercy to put its record million miles deep
in the pit that is mentioned in holy writ !;
and | may add that if large and distin-
guished assortment of its members were
sent along it would only be common justice.
The same old gang, except those who were
shot or hung, are again conspiring to get
possession of the government. Woe to them
for the loyal hosts will crush them and crush
them forever and forever out of all possible
danger of such misfortune to our common
country. No Republican can ever under
anv circumstances have any part or lot with
the hungry, rebellious, man-hatin ?, woman
selling gang corporated under the name OF
Democracy, name so full of stencil and
poison that it should be blotted from the
vocabulary of civilized man and handed
over to the barbarism that it has so ftIy
represented"

The FRUITS OF PROTECTION.
Carnegie's Millions Multiply. bat His
Men Must Take Beggary or tho Bullet.

Carnegie's Millions Multiply, bat His
Men Must Take Beggary or tho Bullet.
.By their fruits shall ye know them!'
Behold the fruits of protection! Writ
large in letters of human blood, in the
flames of burning oil, in the smoke OF
exploding dynamite, is the declaration
that the Republican doctrine of "pro-
lection for the benefit of the American
laborer' is a lie, q mocking falsehood
by which labor is made to prey upon Its
own vitals.
The Homestead works are controlled
by Andrew Carnegie, the twenty mil
lionaire, the apostle Of high protection,
the beneficiary of the Mckinley bill, the
munifcient contributor to tho Repub-
lican campaign funds, the dear friend of
President Harrison, who cabled con-
gratulations from his Scotch castle after
the Minneapolis convention. "Protec-
ton for the American laborer' gave him
kingly riches-it has given his laborers
reduced wages and the bullets of mer-
cenary troops.
In time Of manufacturing prosperity
anu WIFI toAAA W Sss@ Wv
foreign competition, Mr.. Andrew Car
negie made sweeping cut in the wages
of his thousands Of workmen. They
struck for living wages and refused to
allow men to supplant them. He hired
Pinkerton troops, armed with Winches-
ter rifles, TO reduce them to subsection.
The Pinkertons fired upon the workmen
and their fire was desperately returned.
A battle ensued and the hireling troops
surrendered. That is the story to this
writing.
The moral is that protection does not
protect the laborer. The manufacturer
receives, by government decree, tribute
from ali consumers, his laborer includ-
ed. But the laborer is still dependent
upon his employer for any share in the
bounty ordained and enforced by the
government upon the pretext that 1t is
for his benefit only. Carnegie's millions
multiply, but his men are made TO choose
between beggary and the bullet.-Co-
lumbia Is. C.) State.

a respectable campaign by the Re

There are more Democratic voters than
Republican voters, and if the fat is not
fried out, if the blocks of five campaign
ing is not practiced, there will be no
chance for them to win. That is the
reason why the Republicans have al

A Dreary Prospect.

The negro had at least the prospect OF
a quiet old age and a peaceful death be-
fore him. The white slave of today sees
looming up before his eyes visions of n
different character. He sees n poor
house and the potter's field in the vista
of the future, with the spital and tho
jail as halfway houses between. His
life is a constant trouble to keep his
earnings above the starvation point, and
the prospect before him and those de-
pendent upon him is as bleak and hope
less as the joyless past.-Chicago Globe.

This is an average of half million
annually, and in this great army Of inn
migrants in search of work the great
mills and factories find men to take the
places of strikers.
There is no possible way of protecting
labor from competition. 1t finds it on
all sides. Every new machine competes
with labor; every immigrant bears the
labor market. The great law of supply
and demand fixes the price of labor,
fixes the labor schedule. Why should
the laborer, unprotected and helpless,
vote to protect the capital of his en-
ployer? Why should he vote to keep up
the price of what he has to buy when
he sees and knows that it is impossible
for the same law to protect him in the
only thing he has to sell?-Louisyille
