which was rare occurance, and it,
look like a pity to sci that hat at 81
garter of dollar, hut / vii do it. 1
believe in yor system and l mean to
folio it TO the Letter. After having gon
al thru the stock lie came tony desk,
sat down and sed, 81 can now see
vel enuf the secret of yor system. 1t
lay just in tire words The UNDER
BUY, the UNDERSEL and TO
SCRAPE IN THE CASH. I can do
it now, / don't need any better Lesson,
can sci for les than / formerly paid
for my goods. L can sweep the
country for 90 miles, viii get eyry
dollar OF cash that is in the country,
/ nil Offer them goods that tina never
herd of before. Yes, sir, 1 under
stand the secret of the ROUSS bisnes
vel enuf now" From the ruff remark
of this ruff diamond it is esy to see
why visit TO metropolitan headqsr-
ters is absolutely necessary; in buy
ing goods man can tel in moment
what he can sci them for. He can
tel at once how his prices will com
pare with opposition, and how it vii
sweep every vestige of competition
from the face of tie earth.
Popularity and prosperity march
abreast. The former is the first step
up into prominence. Peple find U
out in da. Yes, Morgan sold hats
to peple that lived 20 miles beyond his
county seat. A felo was passing thru
the old mountain town and his straw
hat had blown off into the mud, and
he loolt as tho he had been on tear
and he must invest in anew one. OF
cors, he understood perfectly vel that
in little country town like Gerards-
town lie wud hav to pay twice as
much for it. What was his astonish-
ment when Morgan offered him tue
identical hat for 80 cts. that he paid
s for in Martinsburg.
The United States Senate is the
most pitiful and most shamIes crowd
of politicians ever assembled before
great nation. Each man claims for
his own nativ State al that he can,
unmindful of the pressing wants of
the broad United States. Unlike Will
son (dear Billy Wilson, Company b,
18th Virginia Rebel Cavalry. of which
was an umble nember) tina pres
their claims for their community, and
not for the unity of the Union.
Billy Wilson sed he was for the
United States,-n for West vir-
ginia. What splendid, broad and
himinded patriotism for felo who
once "wore the gray" with this ritter
on the starving rations of SIP II
month, Confederate mony, when
bread was 50 loaf. For instance:
The wool man in the U. S. Senate
(poor pitifuI picture that it presents,
sectional in eyry fibre) wants the
tariff on wool upheld according to his
constituency, caring never CONT
mental for our cuntrY. Billy Wilson
wanted it FIRE and it auto be fire.
Wilson sed lumber must be fire. The
politician from the Canadian border
sed that he must be protected; in
other words he mcnt that the millions
in the U. S. shud he taxi for the
sake of dozen lumber concerns on
the Lakes. Master of Heven, what
idiocY! Wilson scd the coal shud
be fre and untaxt, as it aut of
rite to he. The coal monopoly sed
no, and tia voted millions and millions
and millions to defeat this and tina
did it. So with the iron monstros-
ity. Taxing the millions for dozen
monopoIies. that iron that Gums up
from the erth, fre for the digging.
Sc with the Representative of the sill
ver lloosier. TLa want this precius
metal protected by the Secretary of
our Treasury, and so with the copper
trust, but the most shameless of al
was the sugar trust, that precius
stuff, used by every family of our
seventy millions. Billy Wilson sed
that it shud be fire. Havemcyer, the
president of the sugar trust, sed tina
wanted thirty millions! What in the
devil dus lie and his cohorts want
with thirty millions when tbs can't
use the interest of the mony tha al
ready hav? 1t is wei to repeat,
what shameless set of politicians we
hav, representing the whole pcpIe of
the U. S. 1t look to this ritter as tho
her wer lot Of sheep for sale at so
n.ucll 4 !7.I
Let US horc that wien this infer
nal abortion goes back to the Hous,
that t; a viii ridIe it. Let us hope
that tina will tear out the infamus in
come tax aud substitute the original
Wilson bill as it presented itself to
the Hous.
