INCREASE OF PROPERTY VALUE.

The Republican Leader Claims S44, ,OO0,
600, ,OCO in Thirty Years,
Mr.. Reid points out that the true value"
of all property in the United States has in
crease from 81, 400, 600, 600 in 1850 to S5S,-
0OO, 600, 900 in $780, making total increase
in the thirty years of Republican rule and
a Republican protective tariff of "a ,OO0,
600 600, against the 81 400, ,0O0, 900 earned in
the previous $50 years. 'Our opponents
join issue with us directly and positively as
to the effects of the present tariff. They deny
that there has been any increase of pros
perity under it; declare that wages have
been reduced, and denounce our policy,
saying with q sneer that it fosters no in
dustry much as that of the sheriff. 1t
has been fortunate circumstance for the
impartial public, which desires above all
to ascertain the exact facts concerning
such an assertion, that in the regular course
of their official duties number of Demo-
cratic officers have since been required to
report the statistics in their several depart
ments bearing upon this subject.
New York and New Jersey Reports.
"Such reports have been made successive
IL by the commissioner of labor statistics,
the bank commissioner and the board of
equalization of the state of New York: by
the chairman of the savings bank commits
sion and the chief of the bureau of labor
statistics of New Jersey and by others.
All these reports tend to show an increase
during the year 1891, under the present
tariff, in wages, in the value of produce, in
the deposits in savings banks or in build
ing and loan associations, and in the value
Of real and personal property as fixed for
purposes, not of speculation, but of tax
alton"
Advantages of Reciprocity.
Reciprocity, Reid says, has resulted in an
insrease of our trade with FOREIGN countries,
in spite of the disadvantages attending the
opening of new lines, of 27.6 per cent. on
Sept. 1.-THE latest date of official statistics,
and says the new trade thus begun Is sure
of wide and far reaching devcloPment,
especially with South and Central America.

lutely equitable to both sI0es, wnlcn cUsus
us nothing and which brings such results
would be madness, while to denounce it as
a sham is as unpatriotic as it is untruth-
full"
Statement of the Currency Issue.
The currency question is next taken up
and on this subject he says that ''the issue
between the Republican party and its op-
ponents is almost sharply defined as on
the tariff. We demand that every dollar
p3:er, silver or gold, shall be made and
kept as good as any other dollar. Our op-
ponents, while protesting the same desire,
demand that the national bank currency
shall be broken down by the repeal of the
10 per cent. tax on the issues of state banks.
The proposal of our opponents is to section
alize it again, and thus return to the state
bank system under which it was rarely
equal to coin, was often at a ruinous dis
count and often worthless.
Changes i'm the System.
at is true that the gradual payment of
the government bonds may require some
change the security demanded as a guar
antee for the national bank notes. The
party which devised the system and made
it magnificent success may be relied
upon to meet that emergency when it
arises: and the one party that assurediy
could not be relied upon in the matter is
the party which has now formally proposed
as its remedy for the difficulty a return to
the seini-barbarous condition of the hetero-
genous state bank issues before the war
The Outlook for BinlctaIism.
'There is good reason to hope for some
practical union OF effort for common solu-
ton of the silver problem, with an increased
use of silver, through the renewed interna-
tional silver conference which the wise
policy of the present administration has Sc
cured from the leading commercial nations
of the world. 1t is a statement which no
candid and competent business authority,
whatever his political tendencies. can deny,
that the adoption now of the policy avowed
by our opponents in their declaration of
principles 20 the repeal of the present
tariff, the passage of tariff for revenue
only and the substitution of state bank for
national currency would give an immediate
and disastrous shock to business"

Principles, Not Men. the Issue-Remarks
On the Force" Bill.
Continuing he says that the Democratic
candidate must follow the Democratic
platform. II will not do TO assert that the
Democrats do not mean what they say.
Such conduct would be treachery to the
party and folly besides. Anyway, the
duty OF carrying out the platform would
devolve on a congress elected by party
that demands repeal of this present tariff
and a tariff for revenue only. and the
Abandonment Of the national bank for a
state bank currency. The Democracy has
often threatened the peace and prosperity
of the country, but has not for years been
able to carry out its purposes.
Present Political Situation.
But the present political situation makes
the danger greater than ever. Heretofore
either a Republican congress or senate has
held the Democracy in check. But if they
elect "A president this time they will have
both house and senate, and viii have abso-
lUtc control for the first time since 1859
The president of that party would be bound
to carry out its principles and would have
to. because the power would rest with con-
gress.
Remarks the Force Bill"
The very title OF the force bill, says
Mr.. Reid showed that its object was to
prevent lOECe dI cleCiiOIiS IL any
way. but the southern Democrats who are
its chief and most interested opponents
now begin to wish it revived to protect
them from being themselves counted out as
in Alabama. As to the principle, that the
federal government has the right to super
wise federal elections, denuEciation thereof
is grotesque. 1t has been long recognized,
sustained by the courts, and was enforced
by order of Get. ), 1886 addressed by Grover
Cleveland to his attorney general Mr.. Gar
land.
Close of the Letter.
The clamor, he says against the "force"
bill, however, means, if anything. the null
lification of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
amendments to the constitution. He then
refers to the revival of American shipping
under the Republican statutes and then
pays a high tribute to the administration of
General Harrison, both foreign and domes-
tic, and declares that the present condi-
ton of the country and the
general public confidence in the
administration combine to form the strong
est protest against sujecting the people to
the shock and needless risk inevitable in
such a change" He closes as follows: Il
believe your declaration of principles and
your denomination of a prudent, spotless,
and successful president will command the
popular approval at the polls, and will, un-
der God, inure TO the continued benefit of
our country. Very respectfully yours,

yesterday Judge Brill announced his deci-

that the court had no jurisdiction in the

taken. 1t is conceded that the ballot as

Tho inquest on the body Ct Samuel
Winesburg, who was shot and killed
Sunday night by John Moylan, was
held yesterday morning by Squire Rid
die, at tho place where tho killing oc-
Cured, about two miles up Boggs run.
The following jury was selected: Henry
Meyer, Richard Bickerton, Ernest
Upright, William Meyer, Albert SChen-
rink and Edward Newton,
Thomas Minus was tho first witness
examined. Ho said that Mt half-past
eight o'clock Sunday night Ellen Mel
schneider, the sister Of WineSburgs
wife, came over 10 his house and told
him Of the shooting. He went over and
found NVincsburg lying on the ground
dead. Tho body was carried into the
house, whore Mrs. Winesburg, who had
also been shot, was lying.
Ellen Meisenhelder said, that Moylan
had been to Benwood, and returned in
a wagon drawn by horse. He saw
Mrs. Winesburg sitting ut window,
and called her vile name. Wines
burg, who was lying in the doorway
asleep, jumped up, and on being in
formed Of tho opithet MoylGn had used,
spoke to him sharply. On being dared
by Moylan to come TO tho ravino, that
separated tho two houses, Wincsburg
started toward him, telling his vito and
tho witness to como along. Moylan
threw q stone. ut Winesburg, and John
Moylan camc out OF the house and fired
four or five shots out of q revolver,
Wincsburg fell, and died q few minutes
aftorwnrl. Moylau and his sou ran into
the house.
Virginia Moisenheldcr's testimony
was similar to that of her sister. She
said that when Moylan threw the
stones and ran toward his house, Wines
burg started after him. John Moylan
rushed out Of tho house and fired.
Winesburg fell on his face and his wife
ran back to the house. crying out that
she was shot and that Sam was dead.

hclder said there had boon bad blood

DR.. McDonal testified, that the bullet
by which Winesburg mot his death,
entered above tho left nipple and came
out beneath tho right arm pit. Only
one wound had bean inflicted, but that

.bopt o'clock yesterday afternoon a
.nycl procession filed down the street
trom North Wheeling to the city hall.
Asjs usually the case with distinguished
nrocessions, it was headed by police
a,cor, In this case the escort consist
al Of officer Pat scally, and at the start
,be line consisted OF thirteen small boys.
0ne Of these, doubtless sizing up the
crowd and recognizing the unlucky
number dropped out early inthemarch,
In, the others all pcrsovcrcd and were
IN ut tho finish, which was at the lookup.
Tie boys woro from eight to fifteen
vcars old, about half white and half
colorcd. They and other. boys are in
the habit of bathing in the river in
daylight with scantier costume than
,b3iaw allows. Recently some very ON
"botic protests have been heard from
,be vicinity OF Eighth and Niuth
streets, and Scally, who has that beat in
charge. after running the boys away a
number OF times, concluded to mako an
example OF thom.
Not hayinS thirteen hands, nor yet
rope, it was serious problem how to
hold tholn all. II one stNrtod to run,
tho only thing TO do was to let him
run, ior il tho officer went attcr him tho
Others would all escape.
ScaIlys wit suggested way out OF
the dilemma. He told tho boys that it
was against the law to swim in day
light without clothes on, and the city
was going to encourage bathing by pre-
eenting every kid who bathed in the
river With stylish and costly bathing
suit.
This started the procession NIL right,
but pretty soon one Of tho boys made IL
break. Scally called him back, but he
mt his thumb on his nosc and twirled
his fingers, and is still at largo.
A GOOD sized crowd followed tho boys
10 tho lookup. There there was good
deal OF CRYING when they found they
were under arrest, but in the midst Of
tho lQchrymose exhibition one good
sized colored boy leaned over to tiny
white chap and asked:
"Say, Gully, what kind Of q bathin'
suit do you want2 Black or yallcr?"
This caused general laugh. but the
bows cried again when lodged in cells.
They gave their names as follows:
Demore Minor, colored, aged IS; Robert
Pritchard, aged Il; Bob Erman, aged
IS; Joe Henderson, aged IA; Ernest
Marshall, aged IL; Frank Weitzell, aged
p; Dan Monroe, aged -; Ambrose
Hays, aged 10; Charles White, aged 8;
Ernest Dunhill, aged IS; Louis Myers,
aged 10, and Charles RAIDER, aged II.
The boys were kept locked up till Z
o'clock, when Mayor Seabright held a
special session OF police court to try
them.
Demore Minor was held till to-day
by request Of his aunt, with whom he
lives. She said he was incorrigible, and
she wanted TO get him admitted to the
Pruntytown reform school. The little
White boy was let go, as he had but re-
Gently recovered from ST. Vitus's dance.
The others were all fined 80 and costs,
but on promising never to offend again,
the mayor suspended all the fines.
