How and Why We Draw The Trade.

By the tremendous power of low prices we are satisfying
customers every day with the quality of the goods which we

THERE is lots Of money in this town
Bankers estimate that not less thar
s1,5oo,O0O in gold, silver and bank notes
are in the pockets OF the people or in
safety deposit vaults. People are al
ready Offering to pay their county taxes
in advance, in order to avoid carrying
around their surplus cash. The greater
part of this money will flow back into
the banks again as soon as the people
who are holding it are convinced that the
situation has improved and the necessi-
ties Of eastern banks are relieved.
Right here let us suggest to the we'll
TODD, who have plenty Of ready cash,
that there are q great many unem-
ployed people in the town. 1t is a good
time for those who can afford it to
make improvements about their homes.
Alterations can be made to houses, new
side walks built and lawns improved. In
this way much Of the idle labor can be
utilized and money kept in circulation.
In Denver extensive public improve
ments are planned to give employment
to labor during the coming winter. Our
municipality probably is not in shape
to undertake work Of this sort, but pri-
vate undertakings thoughtfully begun
now would help along wonderfully.
This is something to think about.

AS the country was saved for the ben.
eft Of posterity, SO posterity should
bear part Of The pension burden. Such
is the argument that is being welded
with considerable force by many per
sons in these days when taxation bears
heavily on the people.
Edward Atkinson favors issuing en-
chequer bills bearing three per cent in
terest to pay all outstanding arrears Of
pensions. Senator Hawley's newspaper,
the Hartford Courant, goes still further
and wants the government to issue
bonds enough to pay say half the cost
of the annual bill. The Courant urges
that such a plan would not only be-
sound and just in the long run, but that
its early adoption, and the issue in the
ear future OF S70,0OO.OOO to S75, 100000
Of low-rate gold bonds would not only
relieve the present situation, as the
banks would be quick to pick up such
bonds and issue currency against them,
but would also take SO much off from
the taxes. There is much merit in this
plan. The only objection that might be
urged to it would be that it would lead
to more reckless pension legislation, On
the theory that posterity could take
care Of itself.

y IN another column we give place to a
communication from a former Mon
%tanian, who still has interests in the
state, in regard to the recent bank sus-
pensions. We can assure our friend that
his sentiments meet the approval OF
our people very generally. They are
not unmindful OF the great work that
men like Hauser and Broadwater, DAILY,
Clark, Gibson, and others, have done
in developing the of the state,
and in contributing in every way to its
advancement. Our correspondent
speaks in a slightly retrospective vein,
as though these things were now Of the
past. We're he in Montana to-day he
would find US strong and hopeful, CON
1ident Of the future as never before, and
firm in the belief that our financial re
verses are only temporary checks. The
men who have led the van of progress
are still at the front, and they will be
found in the future as in the past, lead
ing new enterprises and adding to the
prosperity of the commonwealth. Our
people have not forgotten them. They
are going to stand by them.

The present panic is not the collapse
of a long period of initiation like the
panic of 1878. 1t is a money panic,
pure and simple, and there never was a
money panic that was not short-lived.
Che country recovered from the great
panic of 1857 in nine months. 1t will
recover in less time from the present
trouble. The country is all right. All
the wealth is here that ever was here.
There is a temporary paralysis of values
because the people have got frightened
and withdrawn their money from the
banks and all enterprises requiring
ready money are at a standstill. But
values have not been destroyed and we
shall be on the road to prosperity by
another spring.

The first suggestion on hearing that a
national congress Of real estate men had
been called to meet in st. Paul next
week naturally would be that it was n
bad time to talk about real estate, But
q second thought will show that the time
Is well chosen. The main object of the
meeting will be to endeavor TO secure
uniform systems of real estate transfers,
AT present every state has It's own laws
on tho subject, and thoy are unlike the
laws OF nearly every other state. Citi-
zens of one state find it exceedingly diff
ticult to handle real estate in other
states, and delays often are ve~xatioua
and costly. The Brooklyn Standard
Union in commenting on the proposed
convention says:
"ln the present status Of affairs real
estate, no matter how valuable, can
hardly be realized on in less than thirty
days, which is by no means sufiicien,

The men who make investments in

and other long-headed mon in New York
are doing, and they have been through

that there is certain profit in buying out

IT is fortunate for our silver interests
that they have SO able and dislnterested
a champion in congress as Senator Vest,
of Missouri. He cannot be disposed of
with the sheer that he is a silver mine
owner or a crank. He owns no silver
mines and he represents a great agricul-
tural and manufacturing state. No man
in the senate is in such close touch with
the great mass of what Lincoln used to
call 'the plain pe%'o" as the eloquent
Missourian.

CONGRESS should pass the bill author
ling national banks to increase their
circulation to the par value of their
bonds, without debate or delay. Such
an act would Immediately relieve the

and the whole country would approve
it. BY all means let it be done quickly.

THE attempts OF the New York World

It has been remarked before that
probably no city the size of Wheeling
sent as many people TO the Worlds lair,
aud ii thoae from the immediate sur.
roundings are counted, the large mum.
Der who have spent more or less time
in Chicago becomes still more impress
sive. There has been no time since
the fair was well on. particularly since
the TNrELLlGENcER tourist system went
into effect, when there were not good
number OF Wheeling people in tho
Windy City. This fact has been some.
what apparent here at home, but to
those in Chicago it was much more so.
Daily for week after week four or five
pages OF West Nirginian's names were
registered at the state building, and
everywhere man ran against friends
from home, stngly, in groups or IN
large parties.
Latterly the Windsor Beach hotel be-
came sort OF Wheeling headquarters,
and every evening the lobby and par.
lors were well filled with Wheeling
guests and their friends who were quar-
tered elsewhere. The Windsor Beach
is the most comfortable OF the hotels,
and the INrELLIGENCER was fortunate in
having it on its list
Last Monday evening Governor Mac.
Corkle and Col. I. p. Jepson and Col.
Joseph Gallagher, Of his staff, happen.
ed to DO at the fair, and the young
society people gave very successful,
although entirely impromptu, ball in
the governors honor. 1t was pleas
ant feature.
Wheeling people arc still going to
Chicago. A number lettyesterdaY, and
several will 90 to-day. The trains en-:
teriug Chicago yesterday seemed
about rs full as usual. Had tho weather
been fair here many people would have
left. This really ought to have no
effect, Tor rain hero may be simultane'
Gus with fine weather at the fair.
1t is the universal opinion OF those
who have taken in the fair that every
body should makean effort to getthere,

One can leave this afternoon and spend

body who has not been there TO lind
how much he can see in one day.

tourists with transportation by the
popular Baltimore & Ohio road and
accommodations at fine hotel, and it
feels that it will do n service, and ono
which will be recognized, to anybody
whom it induces 10 20 even ut the

The following special telegram to tho
ADMINISTRATION Charleston, received
last evening, confirms a report afoat
earlier in the day:
CHARLESTON, Oct. 27.-The governor
Yesterday issued pardon to stony"
Duffy, convicted Mt the April term OF
the Ohio county criminal court OF steal
ing a lot OF l'brass, and sentenced to
three wears in the pen. The petition
was signed by the prosecuting attorney
and many other influential men. tide
veloped that Duffy was drunk at the
time and was not responsible for what
he did, and that he did not really steal
the stuff, but assisted in carrying it, not
knowing it was stolen.
lit had really developed that this
state OF affairs existed, it would GER
tainly be strange for Prosecutor How
ard to push tho case as he did. He
worked hard for conviction and then
signs q petition for pardon. One time
or the other he was wrong.
The fact is that the police have been
trying to secure Duffy's conviction for n
long time. They give him bad name.
For some reason he always escaped
conviction until this time. The only
evidence to the effect that he was not q
principal in the crime was his own, and
nobody believed it then or believes it
now. His pardon makes farce OF
iusticc.
