Shaking at FincaStle.

There was political speaking at Fin
castle on Monday of last week. The
Democratic party was represented by
Maj. R. P. Poore, of Appomattox, the
Republican by w. E. Craig, of Staun-
ton, and the Prohibitionist by DR.. W.
B. Boyd. Craig did some romancing,
and said that Augusta county would
give majority for Yost. He mistook
his audience for marines. The Buch.

"Col. VIM. E. Craig, of Staunton, is
a good lawyer, but he don't cut much
of a figure as a stumper. This was
clearly demonstrated last Monday"

Danger of Over-C0nfidenee.
BE SURE TO GO TO THE POLLS.

BE SURE TO GO TO THE POLLS.
The intellectual qualifications of
Hon. Harry Tucker, his efficiency as
Representative in Congress, his genial
disposition and popular manners, his
pure character, public and private, are
so well known that no argument in
favor of his re- election is necessary
There is only one thing needed to Sc
cure that result, and that is to get the
Democrats to go to the polls on the
day of election, and that they should
do. No one should take it for granted
that the candidate of his choice will be
elected, and that there is no use for
him to go to the polls. No man can be
elected if his friends do not go to the
polls and vote for him. There is no
danger so great TO any candidate as
over confidence on the part of bis per-
sonal and party friends. This was the
cause of the defeat some years ago OF
Capt. James Bumgardner, Jr., who was
as true and faithful Democrat as he
was a brave and gallant soldier in the
war-and none was more so. He was
always ready and willing to discharge
his duty, and he did it cheerfully and
efficiently. He never hesitated or
shirked his duty, but did it promptly
and manfully, and deserved the cordial
support of every Democrat in the dis
trict; and yet they suffered him to be
defeated, because they were SO conf
dent his merits would secure his cleo
tion, that many did not deem it neces-
sary for them to go to the polls to vote
for him. They discovered their mis-
take when it was too late to remedy it,
and were deeply mortified at their re-
missness of duty. 1t is to be hoped
that they will never again repeat this
mistake, and that they will firmly re-
solve to do their duty by going to the
polls and voting for the nominee OF
their party. No man can rightfully
claim to be good Democrat who will
fail to do so, for that is the duty of
every Democrat. He should not only
vote himself, but should labor for the
success of the party, and see that every
Democrat in his neighborhood shall go
to the polls. If this be done, then the
success of the party is assured; but if
not, it may be, and probably will be,
defeated. The one thing needed to
secure success, is to get all the Demo
Gratis to the polls on the day OF cleo
ton. The District is Democratic in
sentiment-the majority of its citizens
are Democrats-but unless they go to
the polls the minority will elect their
candidate. Arouse from apathy and
supineness and go to work from now to
the election and you will win glori
Gus victory.

AN OLD REPUBLICAN FALLACY.

But we are told by our protection
opponents that our attempt to get out
side of the United States and sell
against other people, or to let other
people come inside of the United States
to sell against us, means a degradation
OF labor and uiminution of the wages
Ct the American working man. Does
not every farmer in this country know
that for the price of every bushel of
wheat in his own market he must look
to the markets OF England where wheat
is sold in competition with the cheap
est agricultural labor Of the world ?
The farmer in Dakota pays ten times
as much for his labor MS the farmer in
| India. The farmer in Jefferson county
pays five to seven times as much as the
farmer in India and three times as
much as the farmers of Austria, Hun
gary and Russia, but he puts down his
wheat in England side by side with
Russia, India and Austria and through
the competition of all three the price
of wheat there is established, and is
established for him in the markets of
Charlestown and Baltimore From
the very beginning of our expectation
of cereal articles we had this compe-
tition, and so it is with our manu-
featured products. We are able to sell
our clocks and watches to the railroads
of India because we can make watches
cheaper at Waltham and Eigin than
they can be made in Switzerland or
England. We are able to sell lOcomO-
tives to all the nations of the world
| because we can make them with high
priced skilled labor cheaper than any
other country can with it's cheaper
! labor.
, CAN HOLD OUR OWN ANYWHERE.
| We have been told again that this
phrase, 1.-The markets of the world
means nothing and is an empty delu-
sion, and that there is no market in
the world which can compare with the
American market for the American
people. Of course there is great deal
in that. The home market to every
people is its largest market. Three
fourths of all the products produced by
the people are consumed and must al
ways be consumed where they are pro
duced. | t is not that we mean to sur
render the home market. Our very
ability to send out and sell i'll cOmpe
| titiOn implies cur ability to stay at
home and sell them in competition with
| the same people and yet, fellow citi-
zens, let us never lose sight of the fact
! tn It if we are to sell our products we
must take in exchange for them the
products of the people to whom we
sell. There is no such thing as one
sided trade between nations. 1t is the
Interchange of product for product
! When they keep out from US the ex
ports of other countries. they keep out
from us the price, and the only price,
that other countries can pay for what
we produce. For years past we haye
been selling to England two or three
hundred million dollars worth of pro
ucts moro than we bought, and large

will probably be no general agitation

bills will doubtless be introduced to
extend the free list or to modify certain

apathy there is no denying, and that
apathy is serious foe of Democratic
unity and strength must be conceded.

them rests, just now, a grave RESPONSE

Speech by Vice President Stevenson.

Hon. Adlai E. Stevenson, Vice Presi-

speech at Lincoln, Illinois, last We'd
nesday. He commended the placing of
wool, salt and lumber on the free list
and pointed out their beneficial effects.
He favored placing sugar of all grades
upon the free list, but reminded his
hearers that the new tariff allows the
refiner only eighth of cent per
pound, while the protection given I'M
der the Mckinley law was one half
cent pound. The new law takes from
the Sugar Trust two fifths of the bene-
fits it received under the Mckinley law

Better Prices for Cattle and Wool.

A correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun writing from Grafton, West Va,
says -
'In Barbour, Taylor, Monongalia,
Tucker, Randolph and Pendleton,
stock-raising is leading industry, and
the chief sources of revenue are from
the sale of cattle, sheep and wool. The
demand for cattle has increased of late
at advancing prices. Under the Nc
Kiniey law wool had gone down until
a good quality of wool only brought Is
cents a pound Since the passage OF
the Wilson tariff bill there has been a
gratifying increase in the price of wool,
so that the same wool which was a
drug at 10 cents pound now commands
IS cents pound. This naturally pleases
the producers, and they already see
that the dire disasters to their interests
predicted by the protection calamity
bowlers have no foundation in fact. SO
there is substantial reason to hope
that the stock raisers and wool pro
ducers of the second district will be
found aligned in the ranks of tariff
reform democracy.

ORE MARKETS FOR AMERICAN
PRODUCTS.

And as have said before, giving a
somewhat local application to what
am going to say to day, the question
for the farmers of Jefferson county is
more markets for wheat. and for the
mechanics is more markets for manu-
featured goods. If there was one thing
to which ] gave more anxious atten-
tion than any other during my brief
absence from this country it was to the
wheat market of the Old World. When
| inquired why it was that wheat had
gone down to price much lower than
it ever sold at before in the history of
at least modern England and America,
the answer vas, there is a universal
glut and production beyond profit
able demand. The answer is that not
only is the United States increasing
her surplus export of wheat and Russia
increasing her surplus export Of wheat,
but Argentina is coming forward and
is now third in the quantity, at least,
exported to the European markets. l
cannot but recall the fact, and | have
stated it again and again before the
people of this country, that the Ameri
can tax upon the woods of Argentina
had made them give up their 'sheep-
walks" and go into competition with
that it is for you to day a question of
markets, a question of consumers the
world over for the products you pro-
duce. | believe SO tar as the great
cereals are concerned, we produce
enough to feed a population twice as
large as our own. | believe so far as
our staple manufactures are concerned,
we produce enough to supply q popula-
ton twice as large as our own.
The question is where are we TO get
these markets? Upon one system We
have been building up for thirty years
coming in to compete with us in a
home market already glutted. We
have now begun to tear down our
tariff walls to let us out with our prod
ucts to compete with the rest of the
world, with all the markets of the
world
