the resolutions of the Barnum Club,

MacCorkle for his advocacy of pro-
lection on coal before the Ways and
Means Committee at Washington
1t will be remembered that the Gov.
requested hearing before the Bar

plainly that the Barnum Club did
not take kindly to his plea in his
defense. The resolutions are
worthy of perusal.

BLOWN DRY.
The n1aumee River Emptled of Its Wat.

The Maumee River Emptled OF Its Water
by Stin Breeze.
TOLEDO, Oct. 1O.-one of the most
peculiar phenomena ever seen in this
part of the country was witnessed by
people in the Maumee valley Saturday.
A terrific gade blew the river dry.
From the rapids at Waterville, % miles
above the city, to the Lake Shore
bridge, just above the harbor, people
walked across on dry land.
1t is not uncommon for the water to
drop four TO eight feet when the wind
blows toward the lake, but never before
has it blown so hard that the river bot
tom became visible. Many large ves-
sells were caught high and dry, and SO
remained for hours.

Whitelaw Reid is now busying
himself in getting up petitions re-
questing congress not to change the
present Mckinley tariff. The peo-
pie spoke out too plainly on that
question lost fall when Mr.. Reid
was defeated for the vice-presiden-
cy after circulating his paper favor
ing the present tariff gratuitously
all over the country. After care
full study the people decided they
had had enough of the Mckinley
tariff and voted in favor of repeal.
1t is now too late for Mr.. Reid OF
any one else to try to blot out this
fact. 1t is too vivid in the minds
of our congressman and they will
proceed to reform that ubiquitous
measure as speedily as possible
just as they have promised the
people they would do. Let Mr.
Reid and his followers continue in
retirement. The Democrats have {
work to perform and they are going
to do it.

There is not an industry in West
Virginia that will suffer in the
slightest extent by the reduction of
the tariff to a revenue basis. If our
coal dealers are able to compete
with English and other foreign coal
in foreign markets, why can they
not compete on their own soil, and
at their own homes? The truth is,
American coal can and will be
mined at a big profit even when
the duty will have been taken off
foreign coal. The wages of the men
and boys engaged in ming the coal
is a matter of little or no consider
alton to the coal barons, and if the
tariff on coal was raised from rs
cents to SIS per ton, they would
not pay higher wages to their
miners. If protection is absolutely
necessary in this great country,
then give it to the workingman who
has now little or no protection
under the law, and see how quick
these rich manufacturers and coal
barons would kick, and demand a
tariff for revenue only.

New York Press: Why should the
farmer and the cotton planter not
reap in dollars where they have
sowed in commodities? Why does
the greater effort produce the small
Ter profit Solely because a few
men who control the money of the
world have decided that the meas
ure of all values shall steadily in
crease, for their advantage and the
advantage of their kind. Why shall
a nation which is highly favored in
possessing great stores of the prec-
ious metals cease taking one OF
them from the bowels of the earth
and thus plunge thousands of its
people into distress? Because a
foreign nation which has no silver
mines has declared that silver shall
no longer be a precious metal.

1t is strange how Democrats,

who have no ak to grind, or pro-

platform both on tariff and finances,
means Just what the words put there
say, and any attempt to commit
the Democratic party to a gold
standard, or to protective tariff,
is not Democratic doctrine. If

the people. Thank God there are
